The validity of the shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to options granted under the Plans is being passed upon for the Registrant by Piper Marbury Rudnick & Wolfe LLP, New York, New York. ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Reference is made to Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which provides for indemnification of directors, officers and other employees in certain circumstances, and to Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which provides for the elimination or limitation of the personal liability for monetary damages of directors under certain circumstances. Article VIII of the Registrant's Bylaws, as amended, provides for indemnification of the directors and officers of the Registrant to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law and for indemnification of the employees and agents of the Registrant in accordance with Delaware law as the board of directors shall determine in its sole discretion. Article Eighth of the Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, eliminates the personal liability for monetary damages of directors of the Corporation under certain circumstances. The Registrant maintains a directors' and officers' liability insurance policy covering certain liabilities that may be incurred by directors and officers in connection with the performance of their duties. The entire premium for such insurance is paid by the Registrant Accordingly, indemnification may occur for liabilities arising under the Securities Act. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for 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 Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

UNDERTAKINGS. 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: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement; (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement. - 5 - 6 Provided, however, that paragraphs (l)(i) and (l)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities 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. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 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 this 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. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities 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 Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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 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 Stamford, State of Connecticut, on this 26th day of April, 2000. i3 MOBILE, INC.
