Indemnification of Directors and Officers. </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Article X of Cypress&#146; certificate of incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by

authorized to provide indemnification of (and advancement of expenses to) directors, officers, employees and other agents of Cypress in excess of the indemnification and advancement otherwise permitted by Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, subject only to statutory and non-statutory limits created by applicable Delaware law with respect to actions for breach of duty to a corporation, its stockholders and others. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that
directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability (i)&nbsp;for any breach of their duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders,
(ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section&nbsp;174 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Article VI of
Cypress&#146;s Bylaws provides that Cypress (i)&nbsp;shall 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 (other than an action by or in the right of Cypress) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of Cypress, or is or was serving at the request of Cypress as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, and (ii)&nbsp;may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or contemplated action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of Cypress) by reason of the fact that he is or was an employee or agent of Cypress, or is or was serving at the request of Cypress as an employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if
he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Cypress, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The Bylaws
provide that the termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and
in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of Cypress, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. </P>

adjudged to be liable to Cypress unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. </P>

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Article X of Cypress' certificate of incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by
the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, a director shall not be personally liable to Cypress or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director and that Cypress is
authorized to provide indemnification of (and advancement of expenses to) directors, officers, employees and other agents of Cypress in excess of the indemnification and advancement otherwise permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, subject only to statutory and non-statutory limits created by applicable Delaware law with respect to actions for breach of duty to a corporation, its stockholders and others. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that
directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability (i) for any breach of their duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders,
(ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Article VI of
Cypress's Bylaws provides that Cypress (i) shall 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 (other than an action by or in the right of Cypress) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of Cypress, or is or was serving at the request of Cypress as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, and (ii) may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or contemplated action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of Cypress) by reason of the fact that he is or was an employee or agent of Cypress, or is or was serving at the request of Cypress as an employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if
he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Cypress, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The Bylaws
provide that the termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and
in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of Cypress, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
Article VI of Cypress's Bylaws also provides that Cypress (i) shall indemnify any person who was or is
a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of Cypress to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of Cypress, or is or
was serving at the request of Cypress as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, and (ii) may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of Cypress to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was an employee or agent of Cypress, or is or was serving at the request of Cypress as an employee
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if
he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Cypress except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been
adjudged to be liable to Cypress unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Cypress's Bylaws also provide that, to the extent that a director or officer of Cypress has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
action, suit or proceeding referred to above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith and to the
extent that an employee or agent of Cypress has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he may be indemnified against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.
Cypress's Bylaws also permit Cypress to secure
insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or agent of Cypress for any liability arising out of his or her actions in such capacity, regardless of whether the Bylaws would permit indemnification. Cypress currently maintains liability
insurance for its officers and directors.

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:
(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 the 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 the 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 more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
registration statement; and
(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) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference 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 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 of 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.
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 San Jose, State of California.
