</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law enables a Delaware corporation to
provide in its certificate of incorporation for the elimination or limitation of the personal
liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director. Any such provision cannot eliminate or limit a director&#146;s liability:
(1)&nbsp;for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (2)
for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law; (3)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (which imposes
liability on directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchase or redemption);
or (4)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Article
VII of the Registrant&#146;s Fifth amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the
&#147;Charter&#148;), eliminates the personal liability of each of the Registrant&#146;s directors to the
Registrant and its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to
the full extent permitted by Delaware Law.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;Six of the Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Bylaws provides for the indemnification
of officers, directors and third parties acting on behalf of the Registrant if such person acted in
good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in and not opposed to the best interest of the
Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the indemnified party had no
reason to believe his conduct was unlawful.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware 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 amounts paid and expenses
incurred in connection with an action or proceeding to which he is or is threatened to be made a
party by reason of such position, if such person shall have 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 proceeding, if such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful;
provided that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no
indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as to which such person shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the adjudicating court
determines that such indemnification is proper under the circumstances.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition to the indemnification provided in the Registrant&#146;s Charter and the Amended and
Restated Bylaws and by Delaware law, the Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements
with its directors and executive officers to provide additional contractual assurances regarding
the scope of indemnification and to provide additional procedural protections.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant also carries insurance policies that cover its individual directors and
officers for legal liability and which would pay on their behalf for expenses of indemnifying them
in accordance with the Charter, Amended and Restated Bylaws and Delaware law.

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 15(d)
of the Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

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 Securities Act of 1933 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The Registrant is subject to the informational and reporting requirements of Sections 13(a),
14 and 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and in
accordance therewith files reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). The following documents, which are on file with the
Commission, are incorporated in this Registration Statement by reference:
•
the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006,
filed on June 22, 2006, pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, which
contains audited financial statements for the Registrant's latest fiscal year;
•
the Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30,
2006, filed on August 9, 2006, pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;
•
the Registrant's Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on May 15, 2006, September 5, 2006,
September 14, 2006, September 18, 2006 and October 3, 2006; and
•
the description of the Registrant's common stock contained in the Registrant's
registration statement on Form 8-A, filed with the Commission under Section 12 of the
Exchange Act on February 10, 2000, including any amendment or report filed for the purpose
of updating such description.
All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and
15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date of this Registration Statement, and prior to the filing of
a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or
which de-registers all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such
documents. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by
reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration
Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed
document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes
such statement. Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified
or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Morrison & Foerster LLP is outside counsel for the Registrant and will pass upon the validity
of the shares offered under the Infravio, Inc. 2000 Plan. Jack L. Lewis, who is a member of
Morrison & Foerster LLP, serves as a member of the Registrant's Board of Directors. Mr. Lewis
beneficially owns 123,408 shares of the Registrant's common stock (including options exercisable
within 60 days).
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law enables a Delaware corporation to
provide in its certificate of incorporation for the elimination or limitation of the personal
liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director. Any such provision cannot eliminate or limit a director's liability:
(1) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (2)
for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law; (3) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (which imposes
liability on directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchase or redemption);
or (4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Article
VII of the Registrant's Fifth amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the
"Charter"), eliminates the personal liability of each of the Registrant's directors to the
Registrant and its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to
the full extent permitted by Delaware Law.
Article Six of the Registrant's Amended and Restated Bylaws provides for the indemnification
of officers, directors and third parties acting on behalf of the Registrant if such person acted in
good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in and not opposed to the best interest of the
Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the indemnified party had no
reason to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Section 145 of the Delaware 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 amounts paid and expenses
incurred in connection with an action or proceeding to which he is or is threatened to be made a
party by reason of such position, if such person shall have 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 proceeding, if such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful;
provided that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no
indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as to which such person shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the adjudicating court
determines that such indemnification is proper under the circumstances.
In addition to the indemnification provided in the Registrant's Charter and the Amended and
Restated Bylaws and by Delaware law, the Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements
with its directors and executive officers to provide additional contractual assurances regarding
the scope of indemnification and to provide additional procedural protections.
The Registrant also carries insurance policies that cover its individual directors and
officers for legal liability and which would pay on their behalf for expenses of indemnifying them
in accordance with the Charter, Amended and Restated Bylaws and Delaware law.

(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

reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d)
of the 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

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 Securities Act of 1933 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
