145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law also provides that a corporation has the power to
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of its officers and directors against any liability
asserted against such person and incurred by him or her in such capacity, or arising out of his or
her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her
against such liability under the provisions of Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;III, Section&nbsp;14 of the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Registrant provides that the
Registrant shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the
Delaware General Corporation Law. The rights to indemnity thereunder continue as to a person who
has ceased to be a director or officer and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
administrators of the person. In addition, expenses incurred by a director or officer in defending
any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding by reason of the
fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Registrant (or was serving at the
Registrant&#146;s request as a director or officer of another corporation) may be paid by the Registrant
in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately
be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant as authorized by
the relevant section of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As permitted by Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, Article&nbsp;Fifth of
the Registrant&#146;s Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director of the Registrant
shall not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except for liability (i)&nbsp;for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its
stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or acts or omissions that involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law or (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derived any improper
personal benefit.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and
executive officers. The indemnification agreements generally require the Registrant to indemnify
its executive officers and directors against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other
amounts actually and reasonably incurred by the executive officer or director in connection with
any proceeding arising by reason of the fact that such person is or was an executive officer or
director of the Registrant. The indemnification agreements also require the Registrant to advance
litigation expenses provided that the executive officer or director undertakes to repay the amounts
if it is ultimately determined that the executive officer or director is not entitled to
indemnification for the expenses. The indemnification agreements also establish a conclusive
presumption that the director or executive officer has met the applicable standard of conduct
required for indemnification unless a majority of the disinterested members of the board of
directors, a majority of the stockholders or independent legal counsel in a written opinion
determine that the applicable standard has not been met. Partial indemnification is explicitly
provided for in the indemnification agreements in the event that a director or officer is not
entitled to full indemnification under the terms of the indemnification agreements or under
applicable law.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant has purchased directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance. The Registrant
intends to enter into additional indemnification agreements with each of its directors and
executive officers to effectuate these indemnity provisions.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the &#147;1933 Act&#148;) may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that, in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the 1933 Act and is therefore unenforceable.

liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,

against such liability under the provisions of Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
II-1
Table of Contents
Article III, Section 14 of the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Registrant provides that the
Registrant shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the
Delaware General Corporation Law. The rights to indemnity thereunder continue as to a person who
has ceased to be a director or officer and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
administrators of the person. In addition, expenses incurred by a director or officer in defending
any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding by reason of the
fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Registrant (or was serving at the
Registrant's request as a director or officer of another corporation) may be paid by the Registrant
in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately
be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant as authorized by
the relevant section of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
As permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, Article Fifth of
the Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director of the Registrant
shall not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its
stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or acts or omissions that involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived any improper
personal benefit.
The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and
executive officers. The indemnification agreements generally require the Registrant to indemnify
its executive officers and directors against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other
amounts actually and reasonably incurred by the executive officer or director in connection with
any proceeding arising by reason of the fact that such person is or was an executive officer or
director of the Registrant. The indemnification agreements also require the Registrant to advance
litigation expenses provided that the executive officer or director undertakes to repay the amounts
if it is ultimately determined that the executive officer or director is not entitled to
indemnification for the expenses. The indemnification agreements also establish a conclusive
presumption that the director or executive officer has met the applicable standard of conduct
required for indemnification unless a majority of the disinterested members of the board of
directors, a majority of the stockholders or independent legal counsel in a written opinion
determine that the applicable standard has not been met. Partial indemnification is explicitly
provided for in the indemnification agreements in the event that a director or officer is not
entitled to full indemnification under the terms of the indemnification agreements or under
applicable law.
The Registrant has purchased directors' and officers' liability insurance. The Registrant
intends to enter into additional indemnification agreements with each of its directors and
executive officers to effectuate these indemnity provisions.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "1933 Act") may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that, in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the 1933 Act and is therefore unenforceable.

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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may
be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
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) do not apply if the information required
to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with
or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
1934 Act that are incorporated by reference herein.
(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
II-3
Table of Contents
(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 of those securities made
pursuant to the Quiksilver, Inc. 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 into 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 Commission, 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.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it
has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8, and
has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Huntington Beach, State of California on this
31
st
day of March, 2011.
