PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.
The following documents filed by RadiSys Corporation (the "Company") with
the Securities and Exchange Commission are incorporated herein by reference:
(a) The Company's latest annual report filed pursuant to Section
13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or the latest
prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933
that contains audited financial statements for the Company's latest fiscal
year for which such statements have been filed.
(b) All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 since the end of the fiscal year
covered by the annual report or prospectus referred to in (a) above.
(c) The description of the authorized capital stock of the Company
contained in the Company's registration statement filed under Section 12
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including any amendment or report
filed for the purpose of updating the description.
All reports and other documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant
to Sections 13(a) and (c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates
that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all
securities remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference
herein and to be a part hereof from the date of the filing of such reports and
documents.
Item 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
Not Applicable.
Item 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
Not Applicable.
Item 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Article VII of the Company's Second Restated Articles of Incorporation and
Article V of the Company's Restated Bylaws require indemnification of current or
former
<PAGE>
directors of the Company to the fullest extent permitted by law. The right to
and amount of indemnification will ultimately be subject to determination by a
court that indemnification in the circumstances presented is consistent with
public policy and other provisions of law. It is likely, however, that Article
VII of the Company's Second Restated Articles of Incorporation and Article V of
the Company's Restated Bylaws would require indemnification at least to the
extent that indemnification is authorized by the Oregon Business Corporation
Act. The effect of the indemnification provisions contained in Article VII of
the Company's Second Restated Articles of Incorporation, Article V of the
Company's Restated Bylaws and the Oregon Business Corporation Act (the
"Indemnification Provisions") is summarized as follows:
(a) The Indemnification Provisions grant a right of
indemnification in respect of any action, suit or proceeding (other than
an action by or in the right of the Company) against expenses (including
attorney fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually
and reasonably incurred, if the person concerned acted in good faith and
in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the Company, was not adjudged liable on the basis of
receipt of an improper personal benefit and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was
unlawful. The termination of an action, suit or proceeding by judgment,
order, settlement, conviction or plea of nolo contendere does not, of
itself, create a presumption that the person did not meet the required
standards of conduct.
(b) The Indemnification Provisions grant a right of
indemnification in respect of any action or suit by or in the right of the
Company against the expenses (including attorney fees) actually and
reasonably incurred if the person concerned acted in good faith and in a
manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Company, except that no right of indemnification will be
granted if the person is adjudged to be liable to the Company.
(c) Every person who has been wholly successful on the merits of a
controversy described in (a) or (b) above is entitled to indemnification
as a matter of right.
(d) The Company may not indemnify a director unless it is
determined by (1) a majority of a quorum of disinterested directors or a
committee of disinterested directors, (2) independent legal counsel or (3)
the shareholders that indemnification is proper because the applicable
standard of conduct has been met. Indemnification can also be ordered by a
court if the court determines that indemnification is fair in view of all
of the relevant circumstances.
<PAGE>
(e) The Company will advance to a director the expenses incurred
in defending any action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final
disposition if the director affirms in good faith that he or she has met
the standard of conduct to be entitled to indemnification as described in
(a) or (b) above and undertakes to repay any amount advanced if it is
determined that the person did not meet the required standard of conduct.
Under the Oregon Business Corporation Act, an officer of the Company is
entitled to mandatory indemnification to the same extent as a director of the
Company if he or she was wholly successful on the merits of a controversy
described in (a) or (b) above.
The Company has obtained insurance for the protection of its directors and
officers against any liability asserted against them in their official
capacities. The Company has also entered into indemnification agreements with
certain of the Company's directors. The indemnification agreements in part
incorporate the indemnification provisions of the Oregon Business Corporation
Act as described above. The indemnification provisions also alter or clarify the
statutory indemnity in certain respects. The most significant effects of the
indemnification agreements are to add indemnification for settlements of
derivative lawsuits and for proceedings involving a breach of fiduciary duty,
subject to specified exceptions. The indemnification agreements also set forth
certain procedures that apply in the event of a claim for indemnification or
advancement of expenses.
The rights of indemnification described above are not exclusive of any
other rights of indemnification to which the persons indemnified may be entitled
under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or otherwise.
Item 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.
Not Applicable.
Item 8. EXHIBITS.
4.1 Second Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company and

for the quarter ended June 30, 1997, and Exhibit 4.2 to the

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 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 total dollar
value of the 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 a 20% 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 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) do not apply
if
<PAGE>
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed 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 undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
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 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 Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the 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 Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
