<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the General Corporation Law (the &#147;GCL&#148;) of Delaware empowers a corporation to
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. Depending on the character of the
proceeding, a corporation may indemnify against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding if the person identified acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no cause to believe his or her conduct was
unlawful. In the case of an action by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification may be
made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to
be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or
suit was brought shall determine that despite the adjudication of liability such person is fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses that the court shall deem proper. Section
145 further provides that to the extent a present or former director or officer of a corporation
has been successful in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above or in the
defense of any claim, issue or matter herein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses
(including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.
The statute provides that indemnification pursuant to its provisions is not exclusive of other
rights of indemnification to which a person may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to
any action, suit or proceeding of the type described above by reason of the fact that he or she is
or was a director or officer or serves or served at ChromaDex Corporation&#146;s request as a director
or officer of another corporation, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. ChromaDex

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered
(if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and
any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in
the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no greater than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the &#147;Calculation of Registration Fee&#148; table in the effective

previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in
the Registration Statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) herein do
not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the
Registrant pursuant to Section&nbsp;13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement;

permitted to the 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 Securities Act and
will be governed by final adjudication of such issue.

Item 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Not Applicable.
Item 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
Not Applicable.
Item 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law (the "GCL") of Delaware empowers a corporation to
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. Depending on the character of the
proceeding, a corporation may indemnify against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding if the person identified acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no cause to believe his or her conduct was
unlawful. In the case of an action by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification may be
made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to
be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or
suit was brought shall determine that despite the adjudication of liability such person is fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses that the court shall deem proper. Section
145 further provides that to the extent a present or former director or officer of a corporation
has been successful in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above or in the
defense of any claim, issue or matter herein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.
The statute provides that indemnification pursuant to its provisions is not exclusive of other
rights of indemnification to which a person may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
ChromaDex Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, provide, in effect, that to
the full extent and under the circumstances permitted by Section 145 of the GCL, ChromaDex
Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to
any action, suit or proceeding of the type described above by reason of the fact that he or she is
or was a director or officer or serves or served at ChromaDex Corporation's request as a director
or officer of another corporation, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. ChromaDex
Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws also provides that it shall have the power, under
3
the circumstances permitted by Section 145 of the GCL, to indemnify any employees and other
agents as permitted by the GCL.
ChromaDex Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation relieves its directors from monetary
damages to ChromaDex Corporation or its stockholders for breach of such director's fiduciary duty as
a director to the fullest extent permitted by the GCL. Under Section 102(b)(7) of the GCL, a
corporation may relieve its directors from personal liability to such corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of their fiduciary duty as directors except (i)
for a breach of the duty of loyalty, (ii) for failure to act in good faith, (iii) for intentional
misconduct or knowing violation of law, (iv) for willful or negligent violation of certain
provisions of the GCL imposing certain requirements with respect to stock purchases, redemptions
and dividends or (v) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.

Item 9. UNDERTAKINGS
(a) The Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers 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;
(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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered
(if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and
any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in
the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no greater than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
registration statement;
(iii) 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; provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) herein do
not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement;
4
(2) That, for the purposes 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 bonafide offering thereof; and
(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 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.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to the 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 Securities Act and
will be governed by final adjudication of such issue.
