<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Item&nbsp;6. <U>Indemnification of Directors and Officers</U>
</DIV>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award or a corporation&#146;s
board of directors to grant indemnification to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad
to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement
for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (&#147;1933 Act&#148;). The Registrant&#146;s
Bylaws provide for mandatory indemnification of its directors and officers and permissible
indemnification of employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware
General Corporation Law. The Registrant&#146;s Certificate of Incorporation provides that, pursuant to
Delaware law, its directors shall not be liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary
duty as directors to the Registrant and its stockholders. This provision in the Certificate of
Incorporation does not eliminate the fiduciary duty of the directors, and, in appropriate
circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will
remain available under Delaware law. In addition, each director will continue to be subject to
liability for breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the Registrant for acts or omissions not
in good faith or involving intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for actions
leading to improper personal benefit to the director and for payment of dividends or approval of
stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful under Delaware law. The provision also does not
affect a director&#146;s responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal securities laws or
state or federal environmental laws. The Registrant has entered into Indemnification Agreements
with its officers and directors. The Indemnification Agreements provide the Registrant&#146;s officers
and directors with further indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General
Corporation Law.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">A. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1)&nbsp;to file, during any period in which offers or
sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement (i)&nbsp;to include any
prospectus required by Section&nbsp;10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act, (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 and (iii)&nbsp;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;
provided, however, that clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall 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 SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section&nbsp;13 or Section 15(d) of the
1934 Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement; (2)&nbsp;that for the
purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 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 and (3)&nbsp;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 Registrant&#146;s 1998 Equity
Incentive Plan and 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the 1933 Act, each filing of the Registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the 1934 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.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act may be permitted to
directors, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the indemnification
provisions summarized in Item&nbsp;6 or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion
of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 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 1933 Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3.
Incorporation of Documents by Reference
Actuate Corporation (the "Registrant") hereby incorporates by reference into this Registration
Statement the following documents previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC"):
(a)
The Registrant's Registration Statement No. 000-24607 on Form 8-A
filed with the SEC on July 10, 1998 pursuant to Section 12 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act") in which
there is described the terms, rights and provisions applicable to the
Registrant's outstanding Common Stock;
(b)
The Registrant's Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the SEC on March 14, 2008;
(c)
The Registrant's Form 10-Q filed with the SEC for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2008 filed with the SEC on May 9, 2008; and
(d)
All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the 1934 Act since the end of the fiscal year covered by the
Registrant's Form 10-K referred to in (b) above.
All reports and definitive proxy or information statements filed pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c),
14 or 15(d) of the 1934 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 deregisters all securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by
reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such
documents.
Item 4.
Description of Securities
Not Applicable.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K, promulgated under the Securities Act, requires registrants
seeking to register original issuance securities issued under an employee benefit plan to file as
an exhibit to its registration statement on Form S-8 an opinion of counsel as to the legality of
the securities being registered. Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, Registrant's outside counsel, will
pass upon the validity of the shares of the Registrant's Common Stock registered pursuant to this
Registration Statement on Form S-8.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award or a corporation's
board of directors to grant indemnification to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad
to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement
for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933 ("1933 Act"). The Registrant's
Bylaws provide for mandatory indemnification of its directors and officers and permissible
indemnification of employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware
General Corporation Law. The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides that, pursuant to
Delaware law, its directors shall not be liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary
duty as directors to the Registrant and its stockholders. This provision in the Certificate of
Incorporation does not eliminate the fiduciary duty of the directors, and, in appropriate
circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will
remain available under Delaware law. In addition, each director will continue to be subject to
liability for breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant for acts or omissions not
in good faith or involving intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for actions
leading to improper personal benefit to the director and for payment of dividends or approval of
stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful under Delaware law. The provision also does not
affect a director's responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal securities laws or
state or federal environmental laws. The Registrant has entered into Indemnification Agreements
with its officers and directors. The Indemnification Agreements provide the Registrant's officers
and directors with further indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General
Corporation Law.

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 1933 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 and (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;
provided, however, that clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall 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 SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
1934 Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement; (2) that for the
purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 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 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 Registrant's 1998 Equity
Incentive Plan and 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the 1933 Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the 1934 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 1933 Act may be permitted to
directors, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the indemnification
provisions summarized in Item 6 or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion
of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 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 1933 Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
