INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

The following documents filed by Sage, Inc. (the "Registrant") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") are incorporated by
reference herein:
(a)
The
Registrant's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, filed on June 29, 2001, pursuant to
Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
(b)
The
description of the Registrant's Common Stock which is contained in its Registration Statement on Form 8-A dated November 4, 1999 filed under the

All
documents filed by the Registrant with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective
amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration
Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement contained in a document incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for
purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein
modifies or supersedes such statement. Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and Bylaws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL"), as it now exists or as amended, all directors, officers employees and agents pursuant
2
thereto. The Registrant has entered into agreements to indemnify its directors and officers, in addition to indemnification provided for in the Registrant's charter documents. These agreements, among
other things, provide for the indemnification of the Registrant's directors and 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 officer of the Registrant, any subsidiary of the Registrant or
any other company or enterprise to which such person provides services at the request of the Registrant to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The Registrant believes that these provisions
and agreements will assist the Registrant in attracting and retaining qualified persons to serve as directors and officers.
Section 102(b)(7)
of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the
corporation or its stockholders 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 corporation or
its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or
(iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides for the elimination of personal liability of a
director for breach of fiduciary duty, as permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL.
Section 7
of the Underwriting Agreement entered into by the Registrant and the underwriters in connection with the Registrant's initial public offering, the form of which is
attached as Exhibit 1.1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Commission File No. 333-86173) which became effective on November 10, 1999 and is
incorporated herein by reference, contains certain provisions relating to indemnification by the underwriters named therein under certain circumstances of directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Registrant against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

Not applicable.

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 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. 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;
(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 the Registration Statement;
provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if 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.
(b)
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.
(c)
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
4
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.
5

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
