<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Item 6.&nbsp;&nbsp;Indemnification of Directors and Officers.  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;VI of InFocus's 1990 Restated Articles of Incorporation ("Article VI") and Section 10 of InFocus's 1997 Restated Bylaws ("Section 10") require
InFocus to indemnify its officers and directors to the fullest extent authorized by the Oregon Business Corporation Act ("the Act"). The effect of these provisions is summarized below but such summary
is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Act, Article&nbsp;VI and Section 10. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;InFocus
must indemnify its directors and officers with respect to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, and whether formal or informal, other than an action by or in the right of InFocus (a "Proceeding"), against all expenses, liabilities, and losses reasonably incurred (including
attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement), if: (i)&nbsp;the indemnitee's conduct was in good faith; (ii)&nbsp;the indemnitee reasonably
believed that his conduct was in InFocus's best interests, or at least not opposed to its best interests; and (iii)&nbsp;with respect to any criminal proceeding, the indemnitee had no reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. InFocus may not indemnify an officer or director in connection with a Proceeding in which such person is adjudged liable to InFocus or in which such person
is adjudged liable on the basis of having improperly received a personal benefit, unless a court permits indemnification based upon a finding that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;InFocus
must also indemnify its officers and directors in connection with a Proceeding by or in the right of InFocus against all expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred if the indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or at least not opposed to, InFocus's best interests. InFocus may not indemnify an officer or
director in connection with any such Proceeding if such person is adjudged liable to InFocus or if such person is adjudged liable on the basis that he improperly received a personal benefit, unless a
court permits indemnification based upon a finding that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Termination
of a Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent is not, of itself, determinative that an officer or director
did not meet the standard of conduct described above. If wholly successful on the merits of a Proceeding, an officer or director is entitled to indemnification as a matter of right. Because the limits
of indemnification under Oregon law are not clearly defined, Article&nbsp;VI and Section 10 may provide for indemnification broader than that described herein. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section
10 provides that all indemnification rights described therein shall be deemed to be contractual rights and shall be effective to the same extent as, and as if provided for, in
contracts between InFocus and its individual directors and officers. Section 10 further provides that, if requested in writing, InFocus shall pay the expenses incurred by any officer or director in
connection with any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided that such person furnishes InFocus with: (i)&nbsp;a written affirmation of his good faith belief that he is entitled to
indemnification; and (ii)&nbsp;a written undertaking to repay advanced amounts to the extent that a court determines that he is not entitled to indemnification. Section 10 explicitly authorizes any
person claiming a right to indemnification to sue InFocus for payment, and InFocus will have the burden of proving that the claimant failed to meet the standards of conduct making indemnification
permissible. If the person claiming a right indemnification is successful in whole or in part in such a suit (or in a suit brought by InFocus to recover an advancement of expenses), the person
claiming such right to indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting (or defending) such a suit. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section
10 also provides that InFocus may maintain insurance to protect itself and its directors, officers, employees or agents against any expense, liability or loss whether or not
InFocus has the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under Oregon law. InFocus </FONT></P>

hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of InFocus's annual report pursuant to Sections
13(a)&nbsp;or 15(d)&nbsp;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

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of InFocus, InFocus 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 InFocus of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of InFocus 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, InFocus 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 the final adjudication of such issue. </FONT></P>

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Article VI of InFocus's 1990 Restated Articles of Incorporation ("Article VI") and Section 10 of InFocus's 1997 Restated Bylaws ("Section 10") require
InFocus to indemnify its officers and directors to the fullest extent authorized by the Oregon Business Corporation Act ("the Act"). The effect of these provisions is summarized below but such summary
is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Act, Article VI and Section 10.
InFocus
must indemnify its directors and officers with respect to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, and whether formal or informal, other than an action by or in the right of InFocus (a "Proceeding"), against all expenses, liabilities, and losses reasonably incurred (including
attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement), if: (i) the indemnitee's conduct was in good faith; (ii) the indemnitee reasonably
believed that his conduct was in InFocus's best interests, or at least not opposed to its best interests; and (iii) with respect to any criminal proceeding, the indemnitee had no reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. InFocus may not indemnify an officer or director in connection with a Proceeding in which such person is adjudged liable to InFocus or in which such person
is adjudged liable on the basis of having improperly received a personal benefit, unless a court permits indemnification based upon a finding that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances.
InFocus
must also indemnify its officers and directors in connection with a Proceeding by or in the right of InFocus against all expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred if the indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or at least not opposed to, InFocus's best interests. InFocus may not indemnify an officer or
director in connection with any such Proceeding if such person is adjudged liable to InFocus or if such person is adjudged liable on the basis that he improperly received a personal benefit, unless a
court permits indemnification based upon a finding that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances.
Termination
of a Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent is not, of itself, determinative that an officer or director
did not meet the standard of conduct described above. If wholly successful on the merits of a Proceeding, an officer or director is entitled to indemnification as a matter of right. Because the limits
of indemnification under Oregon law are not clearly defined, Article VI and Section 10 may provide for indemnification broader than that described herein.
Section
10 provides that all indemnification rights described therein shall be deemed to be contractual rights and shall be effective to the same extent as, and as if provided for, in
contracts between InFocus and its individual directors and officers. Section 10 further provides that, if requested in writing, InFocus shall pay the expenses incurred by any officer or director in
connection with any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided that such person furnishes InFocus with: (i) a written affirmation of his good faith belief that he is entitled to
indemnification; and (ii) a written undertaking to repay advanced amounts to the extent that a court determines that he is not entitled to indemnification. Section 10 explicitly authorizes any
person claiming a right to indemnification to sue InFocus for payment, and InFocus will have the burden of proving that the claimant failed to meet the standards of conduct making indemnification
permissible. If the person claiming a right indemnification is successful in whole or in part in such a suit (or in a suit brought by InFocus to recover an advancement of expenses), the person
claiming such right to indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting (or defending) such a suit.
Section
10 also provides that InFocus may maintain insurance to protect itself and its directors, officers, employees or agents against any expense, liability or loss whether or not
InFocus has the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under Oregon law. InFocus
2
currently has liability insurance to indemnify its directors and officers against expense, liability or loss arising from claims by reason of their acts or omissions as directors and officers.
The
rights of indemnification described above are not exclusive of any other indemnification rights to which the persons indemnified may be entitled under any agreement, statute, vote
of shareholders, action of directors or otherwise.

Item 9.  Undertakings.
A.  InFocus
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, as amended (the "Securities Act");
(ii) To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or most recent post-effective amendment hereof)
which individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement;
(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 paragraphs (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 by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement.
3
(2) That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, to treat each such post-effective amendment as a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time 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.  InFocus
hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of InFocus's annual report pursuant to Sections
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 an initial bona fide offering thereof.
C.  Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of InFocus, InFocus 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 InFocus of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of InFocus 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, InFocus 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 the final adjudication of such issue.
