This sub-total represents the sum of shares issuable upon exercise of presently outstanding options (options that have been granted as of the date of this Registration Statement) issued under the 1996 Directors' Stock Option Plan and the 1992 Stock Option Plan. Of the total 1,288,965 shares issuable, 40,000 shares are issuable upon exercise of options outstanding under the 1996 Directors' Stock Option Plan and 1,248,965 shares are issuable upon exercise of options outstanding under the 1992 Stock Option Plan. (2) Computed in accordance with Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act of 1933 solely for the purpose of calculating the total registration fee. Computation based on the weighted average exercise price (rounded to nearest cent) of the options whose exercise will result in the issuance of the shares being registered. (3) Calculated in accordance with Rule 457(h) based on the aggregate exercise price for all presently outstanding options described in note 1 above. (4) This sub-total represents the sum of shares issuable upon exercise of options that have not yet been granted under the 1996 Directors' Stock Option Plan and the 1992 Stock Option Plan as of the date of this Registration Statement. Of the total of 582,305 shares that will be issuable upon the exercise of such options to be granted in the future, 110,000 shares will be issuable upon exercise of options to be granted in the future under the 1996 Directors' Stock Option Plan and -2- 3 472,305 shares will be issuable upon exercise of options to be granted in the future under the 1992 Stock Option Plan. See note 1, above. (5) Estimated in accordance with Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act of 1933 solely for the purpose of calculating the total registration fee. Computation based upon the average of the high and low prices of the Common Stock as reported in the Nasdaq National Market on May 31, 1996 because the price at which the options to be granted in the future may be exercised is not currently determinable. (6) This sub-total represents the number of shares authorized to be issued under the 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. (7) Estimated in accordance with Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act of 1933 solely for the purpose of calculating the total registration fee. Computation based upon 85% (see explanation in following sentence) of the average of the high and low prices of the Common Stock as reported in the Nasdaq National Market on May 31, 1996 because the price at which the shares will be issued in the future is not currently determinable.

ITEM 4 DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES Not Applicable. ITEM 5 INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL The validity of the Common Stock registered hereby is being passed upon by Venture Law Group. a Professional Corporation. Certain members of Venture Law Group, including Elias J. Blawie, Secretary of the Company, beneficially own, in the aggregate, 8,310 shares of the Company's Common Stock. ITEM 6 INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS The Company has adopted provisions in its Articles of Incorporation that limit the liability of its directors for monetary damages arising from a breach of their fiduciary duty as directors to the -4- 5 fullest extent permitted by the California Corporations Code. Such limitation of liability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or recission. The Company's Bylaws provide that the Company shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by California law, including circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary under California law. The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers containing provisions which are, in some respects, broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the California Corporations Code. The indemnification agreements may require the Company, among other things, to indemnify its directors and officers against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers (other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of a culpable nature), to advance their expenses as incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified and to obtain directors' and officers' insurance, if available on reasonable terms. At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company where indemnification would be required or permitted. The Company is not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding which might result in a claim for such indemnification. ITEM 7 EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED Not Applicable.

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 Act, 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 Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and where applicable each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) 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 Act 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 Act 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. -6- 7 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant, ISOCOR, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of California, certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Santa Monica, State of California, on June 4, 1996.
