ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
As permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law,
the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation includes a provision that
eliminates the personal liability of its directors for monetary damages for
breach or alleged breach of their duty of care. In addition, as permitted by
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Bylaws of the
Registrant provide that: (i) the Registrant is required to indemnify its
directors and officers and persons serving in such capacities in other business
enterprises (including, for example, subsidiaries of the Registrant) at the
Registrant's request, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, including
those circumstances in which indemnification would otherwise be discretionary;
(ii)
-1-
the Registrant may, in its discretion, indemnify employees and agents in
those circumstances where indemnification is not required by law; (iii) the
Registrant is required to advance expenses, as incurred, to its directors and
officers in connection with defending a proceeding (except that it is not
required to advance expenses to a person against whom the Registrant brings a
claim for breach of the duty of loyalty, failure to act in good faith,
intentional misconduct, knowing violation of law or deriving an improper
personal benefit); (iv) the rights conferred in the Bylaws are not exclusive and
the Registrant is authorized to enter into indemnification agreements with its
directors, officers and employees; and (v) the Registrant may not retroactively
amend the Bylaw provisions in a way that is adverse to such directors, officers
and employees.
The Registrant's policy is to enter into indemnity agreements with each
of its directors and executive officers that provide the maximum indemnity
allowed to directors and executive officers by Section 145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law and the Bylaws, as well as certain additional procedural
protections. In addition, the indemnity agreements provide that directors and
executive officers will be indemnified to the fullest possible extent not
prohibited by law against all expenses (including attorney's fees) and
settlement amounts paid or incurred by them in any action or proceeding,
including any derivative action by or in the right of the Registrant, on account
of their services as directors or executive officers of the Registrant or as
directors or officers of any other company or enterprise when they are serving
in such capacities at the request of the Registrant. The Registrant will not be
obligated pursuant to the agreements to indemnify or advance expenses to an
indemnified party with respect to proceedings or claims initiated by the
indemnified party and not by way of defense, except with respect to proceedings
specifically authorized by the Board of Directors or brought to enforce a right
of indemnification under the indemnity agreements, the Registrant's Bylaws or
any statute or law. Under the agreements, the Registrant is not obligated to
indemnify the indemnified party: (i) for any expenses incurred by the
indemnified party with respect to any proceeding instituted by the indemnified
party to enforce or interpret the agreement, if a court of competent
jurisdiction determines that each of the material assertions made by the
indemnified party in such proceeding was not made in good faith or was
frivolous; (ii) for any amounts paid in settlement of a proceeding unless the
Registrant consents to such settlement; (iii) with respect to any proceeding or
claim brought by the Registrant against the indemnified party for willful
misconduct, unless a court determines that each of such claims was not made in
good faith or was frivolous; (iv) on account of any suit in which judgment is
rendered against the indemnified party for an accounting of profits made from
the purchase or sale by the indemnified party of securities of the Registrant
pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act and related
laws; (v) on account of the indemnified party's conduct which is finally
adjudged to have been knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest, or to
constitute willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the law; (vi) on account
of any conduct from which the indemnified party derived an improper personal
benefit; (vii) on account of conduct the indemnified party believed to be
contrary to the best interests of the Registrant or its stockholders; (viii) on
account of conduct that constituted a breach of the indemnified party's duty of
loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders; or (ix) if a final decision by a
court having jurisdiction in the matter shall determine that such
indemnification is not lawful.
The indemnification provision in the Bylaws, and the indemnity
agreements entered into between the Registrant and its directors and executive
officers, may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the
Registrant's officers and directors for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act.
-2-
The indemnity agreements require the Registrant to maintain director
and officer liability insurance to the extent readily available. The Registrant
currently carries a director and officer insurance policy.

- --------------------------
(1) Interactive Insurance Services Corp. is a Virginia corporation ("IIS").
IIS's predecessor was Interactive Financial Services corp., a Delaware
corporation ("IFS") that was merged with and into IIS in a statutory
merger ("IFS Merger") on April 29, 1996. IFS originally adopted the
Management Equity Plan, which was assumed by IIS in the IFS Merger.
(2) Incorporated by reference to the Company's Registration Statement on
Form S-1, filed February 3, 1993, as amended (File No. 33-57884).
(3) Filed with the Company's Form 10-K as originally filed on October 31,
1994, as amended.
(4) Filed with the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended January 31,
1996 as originally filed on March 15, 1996, as amended.
ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
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
-3-
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 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 the Registration Statement or
any material change to such information in the Registration Statement.
Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above do not
apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8 or Form F-3, and
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 Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in the 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 that remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.
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.
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 provisions discussed in Item 6 hereof, 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 hereby, 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 and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
