&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant has entered into agreements with its directors and executive officers regarding indemnification. Under these agreements, the Registrant will indemnify them against
amounts actually
and reasonably incurred in connection with an actual, or a threatened, proceeding if any of them may be made a party because of their role as one of the Registrant's directors or officers. The
Registrant is obligated to pay these amounts only if the officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the Registrant's best
interests. With respect to any criminal proceeding, the Registrant is obligated to pay these amounts only if the officer or director had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
The indemnification agreements also set forth procedures that will apply in the event of a claim for indemnification thereunder. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;To

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section&nbsp;13(a) or Section&nbsp;15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant
to Section&nbsp;15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the

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 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. </FONT></P>

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT
ITEM 3. INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.
The following documents and information filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") by QuickLogic Corporation (the "Registrant") are
incorporated herein by reference:

The
Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 as filed with the Commission on March 28, 2001.
(b)
The
Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2001 as filed with the Commission on May 15, 2001.

(e)
The
Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K as filed with the Commission on August 7, 2001.
(f)
The
Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K as filed with the Commission on December 10, 2001.
(g)
The
description of the Registrant's common stock which is contained in the Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed with the Commission on October 12, 1999
pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and any description of any securities of the Registrant which is contained in any registration
statement filed after the date hereof under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating any such description.
(h)
All
documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, prior to the filing of a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities remaining unsold, shall be
deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.
ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
None.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The Registrant's bylaws provide that the Registrant will indemnify its directors and officers and may indemnify its employees and other agents to the fullest
extent permitted by Delaware General Corporation Law. The Registrant's bylaws allow the Registrant to purchase insurance for any person whom the Registrant is required or permitted to indemnify. The
Registrant has obtained a policy of directors' and officers' liability insurance that insures such persons against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment under certain circumstances.
II–1
The Registrant has entered into agreements with its directors and executive officers regarding indemnification. Under these agreements, the Registrant will indemnify them against
amounts actually
and reasonably incurred in connection with an actual, or a threatened, proceeding if any of them may be made a party because of their role as one of the Registrant's directors or officers. The
Registrant is obligated to pay these amounts only if the officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the Registrant's best
interests. With respect to any criminal proceeding, the Registrant is obligated to pay these amounts only if the officer or director had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
The indemnification agreements also set forth procedures that will apply in the event of a claim for indemnification thereunder.
In
addition, the Registrant's certificate of incorporation provides that the liability of the Registrant's directors for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent
permissible under Delaware law. This provision does not eliminate a director's duty of care. Each director will continue to be subject to liability for:
•
breach
of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant,
•
acts
or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law,
•
acts
or omissions that the director believes to be contrary to the Registrant's best interests or the Registrant's stockholders,
•
any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit, and
•
for
improper distributions to stockholders and loans to directors and officers.
This
provision does not affect a director's responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a) The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include any material
information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
(2) That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(b) The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant
to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) 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 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.
