              --------      --------      --------      --------    ----------


                                                                             ]*

35.  Pursuant to section 3.2 of the Technology License Agreement Inrange and
     Ancor Communications, Inc. on 24 September 1998 (the "TLA"), Inrange
     pre-paid certain royalties, and in exchange therefore received a discount
     to be applied against future royalties [      ]*. The parties agree to
     cancel any remaining unused portion of this discount.

     (ii) Royalty and Product Development Payments for 1Gb Director beyond 2001

36.  The minimum payment payable from Inrange to QLogic in 2002 (the "2002
     Minimum Payment") is [      ]*. The 2002 Minimum Payment will be achieved
     through a combination of (a) 1Gb Royalty and Product Development payments,
     using a methodology similar to that employed in 2001 to achieve the 2001
     Minimum Payment; (b) supplemented by P/D Charges allocable to the further
     development of S-16 Blades; and, (c) other mutually agreed revenue sources,
     [                               ]*. The mix of product royalty, 1Gb and 2Gb
     P/D Charges and other revenue sources, and the timing and amount of the
     2002 Minimum Payments, will be determined by 10/15/01, based on the future
     Director delivery schedules and sales forecasts. The mix of the products
     and payment methodology is not material as long as the 2002 Minimum Payment
     is achieved.

     The 2002 Minimum Payment is based on Inrange achieving [      ]* in 2002
     Director revenue. Both parties recognize that, due to market uncertainties,
     and uncertainties in new product introductions and Component deliverables,
     the actual Inrange Director revenue may be lower than planned. If Director
     revenue falls below the current [      ]*, the 2002 Minimum Payment will be
     adjusted to 20% of the projected Inrange Director revenue for 2002. If the
     2002 Minimum Payment falls below [        ]*, the parties agree that the
     deliverables required in any then outstanding FRD documents may be reviewed
     and adjustments made to features and schedules required by the applicable
     FRDs to reflect then current market conditions.

37.  All royalties and P/D Charges will paid in U.S. Dollars, on a quarterly
     basis, within thirty (30) days of the end of each Quarter.

           [   ]*

     (ii)  Serial Numbers and configurations (blades) of 1Gb Directors Sold to
           [     ]*

     (iii) Reconciliation to Revenue Reported.

39.  Inrange will keep adequate records of its Sales for a period of five years
     after the last Sale of 1Gb Directors or S-4 Blades. Inrange will provide
     such documentation (including source documents) and information as QLogic
     may reasonably require to substantiate the Sales by Inrange and the
     royalties due to QLogic.

40.  QLogic may, at its expense, and upon reasonable prior written notice, audit
     Inrange records to verify the accuracy of payments made by Inrange to
     QLogic. Inrange will receive a copy of the audit report. If the audit
     determines that Inrange owes QLogic payments in excess of ten percent of
     the audit cost, Inrange will bear a proportionate share of the cost of the
     audit in addition to payment of any amounts the audit determines as due to
     QLogic. Audits will not be conducted more than once in any consecutive
     twelve month period. Upon Inrange request, the audit will be performed by a
     mutually agreed third party auditor.

                           ]*

69.  All Directors, other than those sold to OEMs that have requested their own
     badging, will contain the Inrange logo. The parties will agree on an
     appropriate QLogic logo to affix to all of the Directors, indicating that
     the Directors incorporate QLogic ASICs or blades, as the case may be. The
     QLogic logo will be visible on the outside front of the Directors, directly
     beside or directly below the Inrange logo and no less than 50% of the size
     of the Inrange logo.

70.  Both the QLogic and Inrange sales teams will receive full quota commission
     for sales of directors to QLogic's Channel Partners. Each party will bear
     the commission cost for its respective sales team.

71.  Except as otherwise provided herein, each party will independently
     determine the sales price of the Products.

     B.  NRE's

72.  QLogic may request modifications to the Products from time to time to
     address perceived opportunities for the OEM market.

73.  Inrange will respond to the QLogic request in a timely manner and provide
     QLogic with (a) an estimate of the NRE charges associated with the
     proposal, (b) a schedule of the time required to implement the design
     change and commence manufacture of Products incorporating the modification
     and (c) an estimate of the cost impact the modification will have on the
     Product.

74.  QLogic (or its OEM customer) will pay for mutually agreed NRE charges
     associated with any QLogic-approved modification to the OEM Products.

75.  Inrange may also request QLogic make modifications to the Products from
     time to time to address perceived opportunities for the Products.

76.  QLogic will respond to the Inrange request in a timely manner and provide
     Inrange with (a) an estimate of the NRE charges associated with the
     proposal, (b) a schedule of the time required to implement the design
     change and commence manufacture of the blades incorporating the
     modification and (c) an estimate of the cost impact the modification will
     have on the Product.

77.  Inrange will pay for mutually agreed NRE charges associated with any
     Inrange approved modifications to the blades or the Products.

78.  The party who pays for the NRE associated with the development of any
     improvements to the other party's IP, receives a perpetual, world-wide,
     non-exclusive, non-transferable, fully paid-up, royalty free right and
     license to the improvements covered by that NRE.

     C. Product Service

79.  Inrange will offer product service, professional services and systems
     engineering (`SE") support for the Products and will be QLogic's preferred
     product service provider for those QLogic Channel Partners and OEM's that
     request a third party service provider.

80.  With certain Channel Partner and OEM accounts, the parties recognize that
     QLogic may prefer to be the primary product service and support provider,
     in which case, Inrange will offer to provide QLogic with product service
     and support, as a subcontractor, on its standard service terms.

81.  Inrange agrees to provide levels of services (LOS) equal to or better than
     the service Inrange provides to its largest end user customer. Inrange
     agrees to negotiate the minimum commitments for response time, spare parts,
     replacement times, management escalation process etc. with QLogic. Each
     party will, at mutually agreed times provide to the other information
     regarding the "field" status of Products, including actual field failure
     rates, number of problems reported, time to close and such other
     information as the parties may deem pertinent.

82.  QLogic will be paid a reasonable and customary commission (to be
     negotiated) on service contracts it procures for Inrange in connection with
     sales of the Products to the QLogic sales channel, but no commission will
     be paid to QLogic in connection with a service contract in which QLogic is
     providing primary support and subcontracting the service thereafter to
     Inrange, as provided in paragraph 80. The amount of the commission payments
     paid by Inrange will be no less than the service commissions that Inrange
     offers to its other service partners.

83.  Each party will promptly notify the other of any actual or potential design
     or manufacturing related defect in the Products.



                                      -12-

84.  The  parties will explore whether Inrange can or should offer service and
     support for QLogic's HBAs and Edge Switches.

     D.  Marketing

85.  The parties will work together on a host of collaborative marketing
     initiatives, including trade shows, press releases, advertising campaigns,
     brochures and collateral materials to promote the Products, each other and
     the benefits of this collaborative arrangement.

86.  The parties will, to the extent permitted by law, present a unified "front"
     to the analyst community and marketplace generally with respect to the
     Director so that Product shipments, Product certifications,
     customer-install base, and market share statistics, are consistently
     reported regardless of the Director branding.

87.  Inrange will be responsible for integrating/certifying Directors for other
     than OEM markets and QLogic will provide reasonable assistance. The parties
     will work together for integrating and certifying Directors for OEM markets
     and for certifying interoperability of the Directors with other
     QLogic-branded products.

88.  The parties will work together to keep each other properly informed and
     support each other, for example by encouraging customers to consider the
     other's branded products, by jointly using "cross-reference accounts", and
     by keeping each other informed in advance of press releases relating to
     joint products, features and plans.

     E.  Miscellaneous Terms; Termination

89.  The term of this agreement will continue through the EOL of the Products.

90.  Either party may terminate this Agreement for default if the other fails to
     correct breach of this Agreement within a reasonable time after receipt of
     written notice of default. Upon termination for default, all right of the
     breaching party to use the technology of the other party will cease; except
     as necessary to enable the each party to continue to provide its customers
     with services or spares. Each party agrees to provide the other with such
     licenses as are reasonably necessary to fulfill service and support
     obligations to customers. This obligation shall survive any termination or
     expiration of this Memorandum of Understanding

91.  The parties may execute separate agreements which authorize Inrange to sell
     the QLogic HBA's and 2Gb edge switches and such other equipment and
     products as the parties may agree.

92.  All appendices and schedules are incorporated by reference.

93.  Inrange and QLogic will execute appropriate proprietary information
     non-disclosure agreements to protect proprietary information exchanged or
     disclosed under this agreement.

94.  This Memorandum of Understanding modifies, amends, or supersedes, as
     applicable: (a) the Technology License Agreement executed by Inrange and
     Ancor Communications, Inc. on 24 September 1998, including all amendments
     thereto ("TLA"), and (b) the Reseller Agreement executed by Inrange and
     Ancor Communications Inc. on 29 October 1999 including all amendments
     thereto (the "Reseller Agreement"), to the extent each is inconsistent with
     this Memorandum of Understanding.

95.  The parties will use their best efforts to prepare, within 90 days from the
     date hereof, such amendments to this Memorandum of Understanding and such
     supplemental agreements as the parties deem appropriate to further the
     understandings set forth herein, and terminate the TLA and the Reseller
     Agreement. Failure of the parties to reach agreement on these amendments
     and supplemental agreements will not affect the enforceability of this
     Memorandum of Understanding.

96.  California law, without regard to its choice of law provisions, will govern
     this Memorandum of Understanding, amendments thereto and any supplemental
     agreements.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have signed this Memorandum of
Understanding as of the 16 March, 2001.
