Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(b) On September 19, 2013, Emulex Corporation (the “Corporation”) announced that, effective December 31, 2013 (or such other date as may mutually be agreed), Michael J. Rockenbach, the Corporation’s Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary would cease to serve in such capacities and his employment with the Corporation would terminate. During the period between September 19, 2013 and December 31, 2013 (the “Transition Period”), Mr. Rockenbach will remain a full-time employee and executive officer of the Company and continue to serve in his current offices.

(e) Effective September 19, 2013, the Corporation and Mr. Rockenbach entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) pursuant to which (unless otherwise mutually agreed):

(i) Mr. Rockenbach will remain an executive officer of the Corporation until December 31, 2013,

(ii) except as described in (iii) below, Mr. Rockenbach’s existing Key Employee Retention Agreement, effective January 1, 2013 (the “KERA”), was terminated, and

(iii) if, before the end of the Transition Period, Mr. Rockenbach’s employment is terminated for “Cause” (as defined in the KERA) during a Change in Control Period (as defined in the KERA), then he will be eligible to receive the same severance payments and benefits (including, without limit, equity award vesting acceleration) that he would have otherwise been eligible to receive under the KERA; provided, however, that the equity acceleration will be subject to the same treatment as provided under the relevant agreement entered into by the Corporation that results in the occurrence of the Change in Control Period.

A description of the material terms of the KERA, as in effect prior to the date of the Letter Agreement, is contained under “Amendments to Key Employee Retention Agreements” in Item 5.02(e) the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Corporation on August 24, 2013, which description is incorporated herein by this reference.
