Item 4.
Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
The validity of the securities registered
hereby is being passed upon for Exa Corporation by Foley Hoag
LLP
, Boston, Massachusetts.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 102 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law permits a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of directors of a corporation to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached his
duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal
benefit.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlements actually and
reasonably incurred by the person in connection with an action, suit or proceeding to which he is or is threatened to be made a party by reason of such position, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, except that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no
indemnification shall be made with respect to 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 of Chancery or other adjudicating court determines
that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide
that: (i) the Company is required to indemnify its directors to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law; (ii) the Company may, in its discretion, indemnify its employees and agents as set forth in the Delaware
General Corporation Law; (iii) the Company is required, upon satisfaction of certain conditions, to advance all expenses incurred by its directors and officers in connection with certain legal proceedings; (iv) the rights conferred in the
bylaws are not exclusive; (v) the Company is authorized to enter into indemnification agreements with its directors, officers, employees and agents and (vi) the liability of the Company's directors for monetary damages is eliminated
tot eh fullest extent permissible under law.
The Company maintains a directors' and officers' liability insurance policy. The
policy insures directors and officers against unindemnified losses arising from certain wrongful acts in their capacities as directors and officers and reimburses the Company for those losses for which it has lawfully indemnified the directors and
officers. The policy contains various exclusions.

Item 9.
Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)(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;
- 3 -
(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; 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 (i) and (ii) 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 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; and
4. 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 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.
5. 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 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.
