         Primix Solutions Inc. (the "Registrant") hereby incorporates by

         (a)  The Registrant's prospectus, filed with the Commission on July 3,

         (b)  All other reports filed with the Commission since December 31,

              Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"); and

         (c)  The description of the Registrant's Common Stock contained in its

ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a
corporation to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents against
certain liabilities they may incur in such capacities, including liabilities
under the Securities Act, provided they act in good faith and in a manner
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation. The Registrant's By-laws require the Registrant to indemnify its
officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

         Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a
corporation to limit or eliminate its directors' liability to the corporation or
its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duties, other
than for (a) breaches of the duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
stockholders, (b) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law, (c) unlawful payments of
dividends, stock purchases or redemptions, or (d) transactions from which a
director derives an improper personal benefit. The Registrant's Certificate of
Incorporation contains provisions limiting the liability of the directors to the
Registrant and to the Registrant's stockholders to the fullest extent permitted
by Delaware law.

         Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a
corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or
was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against any
liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or
arising out of his status as such. The Registrant's By-laws provide that the
Registrant may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any director, officer, employee or agent of Primix
against any liability that may be asserted against him. The Registrant carries
liability insurance covering its directors and officers for claims asserted
against them or incurred by them in such capacity, including claims brought
under the Securities Act.

         The foregoing provisions and agreements could reduce the legal remedies
available to the Registrant and its stockholders against its directors and
officers.

ITEM 7.  EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.

         (a)  The 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 of 1933;

                   (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
                           dollar value of securities would not exceed that
                           which was registered) and any deviation from the low
                           or high and 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
                           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)
                   herein 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


                                       4
<PAGE>

                   by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of
                   the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by
                   reference in the registration statement.

                   (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
                   the Securities Act of 1933, 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 Registrant hereby undertake that, for purposes of determining
any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the its annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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 of 1933 may be permitted to the Registrant's directors, officers
and controlling persons 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 of 1933, 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 its director, officer or
controlling person 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 of 1933 and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

ITEM 3.  INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE

         Primix Solutions Inc. (the "Registrant") hereby incorporates by
reference the documents listed in (a) through (c) below, which have previously
been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"):

         (a)  The Registrant's prospectus, filed with the Commission on July 3,
              1996 pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act;

         (b)  All other reports filed with the Commission since December 31,
              1995 pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
              Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"); and

         (c)  The description of the Registrant's Common Stock contained in its
              registration statement on Form 8-A, filed with the Commission on
              May 30, 1996, pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and
              any amendments or reports filed for the purpose of updating such
              description.

         In addition, all documents subsequently filed with the Commission by
the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a) and 13(c), Section 14 and Section
15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment
which indicates that all securities offered hereunder have been sold or which
deregisters all securities then 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. Any statement contained in a document
incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be
modified or superseded for purposes hereof to the extent that a statement
contained herein or in any subsequently filed document which also is
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or
supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall
not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this
registration statement.

ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a
corporation to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents against
certain liabilities they may incur in such capacities, including liabilities
under the Securities Act, provided they act in good faith and in a manner
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation. The Registrant's By-laws require the Registrant to indemnify its
officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

         Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a
corporation to limit or eliminate its directors' liability to the corporation or
its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duties, other
than for (a) breaches of the duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
stockholders, (b) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law, (c) unlawful payments of
dividends, stock purchases or redemptions, or (d) transactions from which a
director derives an improper personal benefit. The Registrant's Certificate of
Incorporation contains provisions limiting the liability of the directors to the
Registrant and to the Registrant's stockholders to the fullest extent permitted
by Delaware law.

         Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a
corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or
was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against any
liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or
arising out of his status as such. The Registrant's By-laws provide that the
Registrant may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any director, officer, employee or agent of Primix
against any liability that may be asserted against him. The Registrant carries
liability insurance covering its directors and officers for claims asserted
against them or incurred by them in such capacity, including claims brought
under the Securities Act.

         The foregoing provisions and agreements could reduce the legal remedies
available to the Registrant and its stockholders against its directors and
officers.

ITEM 7.  EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

         Not applicable.

     with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 22, 1998.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.

         (a)  The 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 of 1933;

                   (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
                           dollar value of securities would not exceed that
                           which was registered) and any deviation from the low
                           or high and 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
                           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)
                   herein 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

                                       4
by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of
                   the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by
                   reference in the registration statement.

                   (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
                   the Securities Act of 1933, 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 Registrant hereby undertake that, for purposes of determining
any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the its annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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 of 1933 may be permitted to the Registrant's directors, officers
and controlling persons 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 of 1933, 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 its director, officer or
controlling person 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 of 1933 and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                       5
