its Certificate of Incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable
to a corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach or alleged breach of the
director&#146;s &#147;duty of care.&#148; While this statute does not change the directors&#146; duty of care, it
enables corporations to limit available relief to equitable remedies such as injunction or
rescission. The statute has no effect on a director&#146;s duty of loyalty or liability for acts or
omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law,
illegal payment of dividends or stock redemptions or repurchases, or for any transaction from

the director derives an improper personal benefit. As permitted by
the statute, the Company has adopted provisions in its Certificate of Incorporation which eliminate to the
fullest extent permissible under Delaware law the personal liability of its directors to the
Company and its stockholders for monetary damages for breach or alleged breach of their duty of
care.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides for the
indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents of a corporation. The Bylaws of the
Company provide for indemnification of its directors, officers, employees and agents to the full
extent permitted by Delaware law, including those circumstances in which indemnification would
otherwise be discretionary under Delaware law. The Company&#146;s Bylaws also empower it to enter into
indemnification agreements with its directors and officers and to purchase insurance on behalf of
any person whom it is required or permitted to indemnify. The Company has entered into agreements
with its directors and certain of its executive officers that require the Company to indemnify such
persons to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against expenses, judgments, fines,
settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred (including expenses of a derivative
action) in connection with any proceeding, whether actual or threatened, to which any such person
may be made a party by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or an executive
officer of the Company or any of its affiliated enterprises. The indemnification agreements also
set forth certain procedures that will apply in the event of a claim for indemnification
thereunder.

indemnification in terms sufficiently broad to indemnify such individuals, under certain

Securities Act.

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

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3
.
Incorporation of Documents by Reference
RAE Systems Inc. (the "Company") hereby incorporates by reference in this registration
statement the following documents:
(a) The Company's annual report on Form 10-K filed pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), containing audited financial
statements for the Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on March 31, 2006.
(b) All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since the
end of the fiscal year covered by the registrant document referred to in (a) above.
(c) The description of the Company's Common Stock contained in the Company's Registration
Statement on Form 8-A, as filed with the Commission on August 28, 2003, including any amendment or
report filed for the purpose of updating such description.
All documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and
15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters
all securities 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.
Item 4
.
Description of Securities
The class of securities to be offered is registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Inapplicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 102(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a corporation to provide in
its Certificate of Incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable
to a corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach or alleged breach of the
director's "duty of care." While this statute does not change the directors' duty of care, it
enables corporations to limit available relief to equitable remedies such as injunction or
rescission. The statute has no effect on a director's duty of loyalty or liability for acts or
omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law,
illegal payment of dividends or stock redemptions or repurchases, or for any transaction from
Table of Contents
which
the director derives an improper personal benefit. As permitted by
the statute, the Company has adopted provisions in its Certificate of Incorporation which eliminate to the
fullest extent permissible under Delaware law the personal liability of its directors to the
Company and its stockholders for monetary damages for breach or alleged breach of their duty of
care.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides for the
indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents of a corporation. The Bylaws of the
Company provide for indemnification of its directors, officers, employees and agents to the full
extent permitted by Delaware law, including those circumstances in which indemnification would
otherwise be discretionary under Delaware law. The Company's Bylaws also empower it to enter into
indemnification agreements with its directors and officers and to purchase insurance on behalf of
any person whom it is required or permitted to indemnify. The Company has entered into agreements
with its directors and certain of its executive officers that require the Company to indemnify such
persons to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against expenses, judgments, fines,
settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred (including expenses of a derivative
action) in connection with any proceeding, whether actual or threatened, to which any such person
may be made a party by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or an executive
officer of the Company or any of its affiliated enterprises. The indemnification agreements also
set forth certain procedures that will apply in the event of a claim for indemnification
thereunder.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides for
indemnification in terms sufficiently broad to indemnify such individuals, under certain
circumstances, for liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the
Securities Act.
Item 7.
Exemption From Registration Claimed
Inapplicable.
Item 8.
Exhibits
See Exhibit Index.
Item 9.
Undertakings
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;
(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;
Table of Contents
(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
registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and 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 Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities 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.
(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.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a)
or Section 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 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.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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 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 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
