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

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.

.
The legality of the common stock being registered is being passed upon by Lane

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
N2H2's restated articles of incorporation include a provision that limits the
liability of directors to the fullest extent permitted by the Washington
Business Corporation Act as it currently exists or as it may be amended in the
future. Consequently, subject to the Washington Business Corporation Act, no
director will be personally liable to N2H2 or its shareholders for monetary
damages resulting from his or her conduct as a director of N2H2, except
liability for:
•
acts or omissions involving intentional misconduct or knowing
violations of law,
•
unlawful distributions, or
•
transactions from which the director personally receives a
benefit in money, property or services to which the director is not
legally entitled.
Table of Contents
The restated articles of incorporation also provide that N2H2 will indemnify
any individual made a party to a proceeding because that individual is or was a
director of N2H2. N2H2 will also advance or reimburse reasonable expenses
incurred by that individual prior to the final disposition of the proceeding to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. In addition, N2H2 maintains
director and officer liability insurance coverage under which its directors and
officers may be indemnified against any liability they may incur for serving as
directors and officers of N2H2.

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 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 paragraphs (1)(i)
and (1)(ii) above do not apply if the registration statement is on
Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and 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 Section 15(d)
of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this
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.
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 15(d) of
the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of
Table of Contents
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 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 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.
