Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
Legally Authorized Indemnification
. Under PRGX’s articles of incorporation, bylaws,
and Georgia law, PRGX may indemnify (or obligate itself to indemnify, pursuant to an agreement or
otherwise) a director or officer for any liability or expenses incurred in any of several types of
legal proceedings and lawsuits, whether threatened, pending or completed; whether civil, criminal,
administrative, arbitrative, or investigative; and whether formal or informal.
However, PRGX may not indemnify any director or officer who has been adjudged liable or is
subjected to injunctive relief for any of the following:
|
|
•
|
|
misappropriation of a business opportunity;
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
receipt of an improper personal benefit; or
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
an unlawful distribution to stockholders (meaning a dividend or other distribution
that violates PRGX’s articles of incorporation and/or certain capitalization
requirements of Georgia law).
|
Advancement or reimbursement of expenses prior to a final disposition requires a written
affirmation that the foregoing criteria were met and an undertaking to repay any advances if it is
ultimately determined that the criteria were not met.
Legally Required Indemnification
. Georgia law requires PRGX to indemnify any director
who was wholly successful in defense of the proceeding for his or her reasonable expenses incurred.
PRGX’s bylaws also require indemnification of officers and directors under these circumstances.
Indemnification Required by Bylaws
. PRGX’s bylaws require PRGX to indemnify its
directors and officers against liability incurred in the defense of any proceeding, to which he or
II-2
she was made a party by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of PRGX,
if he or she acted in a manner he or she believed in good faith to be in, or not opposed to, the
best interest of PRGX, and with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe his or her conduct was unlawful. PRGX is also required to provide advances of expenses
incurred by a director or officer in defending such proceeding upon receipt of a written
affirmation of such officer or director that he or she has met certain standards of conduct and an
undertaking by or on behalf of such officer or director to repay such advances if it is ultimately
determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification by PRGX.
Indemnification required under PRGX’s bylaws does not cover:
|
|
•
|
|
proceedings by (or in the right of) PRGX for which a director or officer was
adjudged liable; or
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
proceedings in which a director or officer was held liable for improper receipt of a
personal benefit.
|
However, because the indemnification required by the bylaws is nonexclusive, the foregoing
limitation does not prevent PRGX from indemnifying an officer or director for any liabilities other
than those specifically prohibited by Georgia law, as discussed above under “Legally Authorized
Indemnification.”
Indemnification Agreements
. PRGX has entered into indemnification agreements with
each of its directors and certain executive officers (each, an “Indemnitee”). Pursuant to such
agreements, subject to the restrictions on indemnification imposed by Georgia law discussed above,
under “Legally Authorized Indemnification,” PRGX is required to indemnify each Indemnitee whenever
he or she is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding (including
without limitation any such proceeding brought by or in the right of PRGX), because he or she is or
was a director or officer of PRGX (or because he or she is or was serving at the request of PRGX in
any of specified capacities for some other entity), or because of anything done or not done by the
Indemnitee in such capacity, against expenses and liabilities (including the costs of any
investigation, defense, settlement or appeal) actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee or
on his or her behalf in connection with such proceeding, if he or she acted in good faith and in a
manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of PRGX, and,
with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her
conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action suit or proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself,
create a presumption that an Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of PRGX, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was
unlawful. The agreements also provide that under certain circumstances all reasonable expenses
incurred by or on behalf of such Indemnitee shall be advanced from time to time by PRGX to the
Indemnitee within a specified period after PRGX’s receipt of a written request for an advance of
expenses by such Indemnitee, whether prior to or after final disposition of a proceeding.
II-3
Indemnification for Securities Law Liabilities
. Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons
controlling PRGX pursuant to the foregoing provisions of the Georgia Business Corporation Code and
PRGX’s articles of incorporation, bylaws and indemnification agreements entered into with each of
its directors and certain executive officers, PRGX has been informed that indemnification is
considered by the Commission to be against public policy and therefore unenforceable.
D&O Insurance
. PRGX currently maintains an insurance policy which insures the
directors and officers of PRGX against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under the
Securities Act.
Elimination of Monetary Liability of Directors
. Under PRGX’s articles of
incorporation, directors cannot be held personally liable to PRGX or its stockholders for monetary
damages, except liability for:
|
|
•
|
|
misappropriation of a business opportunity;
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
receipt of an improper personal benefit; or
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
an unlawful distribution to stockholders (meaning a dividend or other distribution
that violates PRGX’s articles of incorporation and/or certain capitalization
requirements of Georgia law).

Item 9.
Undertakings
.
(a)
Rule 415 offerings
. 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 Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more
II-6
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 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 the registration
statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the
registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 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 which remain unsold at the termination of any offering.
(b)
Subsequent Documents Incorporated by Reference
. 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)
Indemnification of Officers, Directors and Controlling Persons
. 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 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.
II-7
SIGNATURES

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as your counsel in connection with the filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) of a Registration Statement (the “Registration Statement”) on Form S-8 under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), relating to the registration of (i) 3,400,000
shares of Common Stock, no par value, (the “Plan Shares”), to be issued in connection with the PRGX
Global, Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Benefit Plan”), (ii) 296,296 shares to be issued in
connection with stock options granted as part of an employment inducement grant (the “Option
Shares”) pursuant to the terms of that certain Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement dated January
21, 2009, between PRGX Global, Inc. and Romil Bahl (the “Option Agreement”) and (iii) 344,445
shares issued in connection with restricted stock awards granted as part of an employment
inducement grant (the “Restricted Shares”) pursuant to the terms of that certain Restricted Stock
Agreement dated January 21, 2009, between PRGX Global, Inc. and Romil Bahl (the “Restricted Stock
Agreement”). This opinion is being provided at your request for inclusion in the Registration
Statement.
In connection with this opinion, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise
identified to our satisfaction, of such instruments, certificates, records and documents, and have
reviewed such questions of law, as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of this
opinion. In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity
of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the original documents of all
documents submitted as copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. As to
any facts material to our opinion, we have relied upon the aforesaid instruments, certificates,
records and documents and inquiries of your representatives.
Based upon the foregoing examination, we are of the opinion that, subject to compliance with
the pertinent provisions of the Act and to compliance with such securities or “Blue Sky” laws of
any jurisdiction as may be applicable and the maintenance of all requisite regulatory and other
approvals:
(i) The Plan Shares have been duly authorized and, when issued by you in the manner
contemplated by the Benefit Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

The attorneys in this firm that are rendering this opinion letter are members of the Bar of

other than the laws of the State of Georgia and the federal laws of the United States of America,
and we express no opinion herein as to the effect of any other laws. In addition, we are not
opining on “blue sky” or other state securities laws.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the SEC as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement. In giving the foregoing consent, we do not hereby admit that we come within the
category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and
regulations of the SEC thereunder. This opinion may not be furnished or quoted to, or relied upon
by, any other person for any purpose, without our prior written consent.
Very
truly yours,
