Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Article 2.02-1 of the Texas Business Corporation Act provides broad authority for Texas corporations to indemnify their directors and officers under certain conditions and subject to certain limitations and requires such indemnification in certain circumstances. Article 8.7 of the Company’s Bylaws, which Bylaws are filed as an Exhibit to this registration statement, provide for the indemnification of directors and officers of the Company in certain circumstances, and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation do not restrict the circumstances under which the Company is permitted or required to provide such indemnification, by insurance or otherwise.

Article 1302-7.06 of the Texas Miscellaneous Corporation Laws Act permits shareholders of a Texas corporation to amend its articles of incorporation to provide that directors of the corporation are not liable to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for an act or omission in the directors’ capacity as directors, but such an amendment cannot eliminate or limit the liability of a director for certain types of acts or omissions set forth in Article 1302-7.06. Article Thirteen of the Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation eliminates the liability of the Company’s directors for monetary damages to the Company and its shareholders to the extent permitted by Article 1302-7.06.

The foregoing summaries are necessarily subject to the complete text of the statute, bylaw and charter provisions referred to above and are qualified in their entirety by reference thereto.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Not Applicable.

Item 8. Exhibits.

The following documents are filed as exhibits to this Registration Statement:

4.1 Intervoice, Inc. 2003 Stock Option Plan.

5.1 Opinion of Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P., regarding 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock.

23.1 Consent of independent public accountants to incorporation of reports by reference.

23.2 Consent of counsel (included in the opinion of Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P., filed herewith as Exhibit 5.1).

99.1 Composite copy of the Bylaws of the Registrant, as currently in effect (filed as Exhibit 3.2 to the Registrant’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 1991 and incorporated herein by reference).

Item 9. Undertakings.

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 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.

Table of Contents

(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 post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) 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 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.

(5) 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.
