<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145
of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "Delaware Law") empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify any person who is, or is threatened to be
made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed legal action, suit or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than action by or in the right of such
corporation), by reason of the fact that such person was an officer or director of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent
of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that such officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation's
best interests, and, for criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation </FONT></P>

may indemnify officers and directors in an action by or in the right of the corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer
or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation in the performance of his or her duty. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action
referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him or her against the expenses which such officer or director actually and reasonably incurred. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
accordance with the Delaware Law, the Registrant's certificate of incorporation limits the liability of its directors to the maximum extent permitted by law. Under Delaware law,
the Registrant's directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages, except for liability relating to (i)&nbsp;any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its
stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;any acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;any unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful
stock purchases or redemptions, as provided in Section&nbsp;174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv)&nbsp;any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Registrant's Bylaws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors and may indemnify its other officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by law. The
Registrant believes that indemnification under its Bylaws covers at least negligence and gross negligence on the part of the indemnified parties. The Registrant's Bylaws also permit it to obtain
insurance on behalf of an officer, director, or employee for liability arising out of his or her actions in such capacity. The Registrant currently has obtained such insurance on behalf of its
directors and officers. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Registrant has entered into agreements to indemnify its directors and executive officers, in addition to the indemnification to which they are entitled under the Registrant's
Bylaws. These agreements, among other things, indemnify the Registrant's directors and executive officers for certain expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts
incurred by any such person in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of the Registrant arising out of such person's services as a director or executive officer of the
Registrant, any subsidiary of the Registrant or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at the request of the Registrant. </FONT></P>

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)&nbsp;and (1)(ii)&nbsp;shall not apply if the
information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment by those clauses is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section&nbsp;13 or Section&nbsp;15(d) of the 1934 Act that
are incorporated by reference into 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 QRS Corporation 1993
Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.&nbsp;&nbsp;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&nbsp;13(a) or Section&nbsp;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. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.&nbsp;&nbsp;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, </FONT></P>

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. </FONT></P>

Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145
of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "Delaware Law") empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify any person who is, or is threatened to be
made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed legal action, suit or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than action by or in the right of such
corporation), by reason of the fact that such person was an officer or director of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent
of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that such officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation's
best interests, and, for criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation
II–1
may indemnify officers and directors in an action by or in the right of the corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer
or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation in the performance of his or her duty. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action
referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him or her against the expenses which such officer or director actually and reasonably incurred.
In
accordance with the Delaware Law, the Registrant's certificate of incorporation limits the liability of its directors to the maximum extent permitted by law. Under Delaware law,
the Registrant's directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages, except for liability relating to (i) any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its
stockholders, (ii) any acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) any unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful
stock purchases or redemptions, as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit.
The
Registrant's Bylaws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors and may indemnify its other officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by law. The
Registrant believes that indemnification under its Bylaws covers at least negligence and gross negligence on the part of the indemnified parties. The Registrant's Bylaws also permit it to obtain
insurance on behalf of an officer, director, or employee for liability arising out of his or her actions in such capacity. The Registrant currently has obtained such insurance on behalf of its
directors and officers.
The
Registrant has entered into agreements to indemnify its directors and executive officers, in addition to the indemnification to which they are entitled under the Registrant's
Bylaws. These agreements, among other things, indemnify the Registrant's directors and executive officers for certain expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts
incurred by any such person in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of the Registrant arising out of such person's services as a director or executive officer of the
Registrant, any subsidiary of the Registrant or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at the request of the Registrant.

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, as amended (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 clauses is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that
are incorporated by reference into 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 QRS Corporation 1993
Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan and 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,
II–3
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, as amended, 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
Richmond, State of California on this 22nd day of August, 2001.
