a director, unless: (i)&nbsp;the director breached or failed to perform his or her duties as a director;

the corporation serving as a trustee or fiduciary of an employee benefit plan of the corporation,

liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this Registration

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.

This registration statement on Form S-8 (this "
Registration Statement
") represents an
aggregate of 300,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.33 1/3 per share (the "
Common
Stock
") of Dycom Industries, Inc. (the "
Registrant
") available for issuance under the Dycom
Industries, Inc. 2007 Non-Employee Directors Equity Plan (the "
Directors Plan
"). In
addition, this Registration Statement shall also cover any additional shares of Common Stock
that become issuable under the Directors Plan being registered pursuant to this Registration
Statement by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or any other similar
transaction effected without the receipt of consideration which results in an increase in the
number of the Registrant's outstanding shares of Common Stock.
(2)
Pursuant to Rules 457(c) and 457(h) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"
Securities Act
"), the proposed maximum offering price per share is based on the average of
the high and low prices of the Registrant's Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange
consolidated reporting system on September 2, 2008, and is estimated solely for the purpose
of calculating the registration fee.
(3)
Pursuant to Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act, the proposed maximum offering price per
share is based on the closing price of (i) 40,788 shares of Common Stock granted under the

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Florida Business Corporation Act ("
FBCA
")
. Section 607.0850(1) of the FBCA provides
that a Florida corporation, such as the Registrant, shall have the power to indemnify any person
who was or is a party to any proceeding (other than an action by, or in the right of, the
corporation), by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the corporation or
is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against liability
incurred in connection with such proceeding, including any appeal thereof, 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 the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
Section 607.0850(2) of the FBCA provides that a Florida corporation shall have the power to
indemnify any person, who was or is a party to any proceeding by or in the right of the corporation
to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or
officer of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses and amounts paid in settlement not exceeding, in the judgment of the
board of directors, the estimated expense of litigating the proceeding to conclusion, actually and
reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such proceeding, including any
appeal thereof.
3
Such indemnification shall be authorized if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he
or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation,
except that no indemnification shall be made under this subsection in respect of any claim, issue,
or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable unless, and only to the
extent that, the court in which such proceeding was brought, or any other court of competent
jurisdiction, shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in
view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity
for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.
Section 607.850 of the FBCA further provides that: (i) to the extent that a director or
officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
proceeding referred to in subsection (1) or subsection (2), or in defense of any proceeding
referred to in subsection (1) or subsection (2), or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter
therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or
her in connection therewith; (ii) indemnification provided pursuant to Section 607.0850 is not
exclusive; and (iii) the corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of a director or officer of the corporation against any liability asserted against him or
her or incurred by him or her in any such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such,
whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such
liabilities under Section 607.0850.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 607.0850 of the FBCA provides that indemnification or
advancement of expenses shall not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a judgment
or other final adjudication establishes that his or her actions, or omissions to act, were material
to the cause of action so adjudicated and constitute: (i) a violation of the criminal law, unless
the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or had no
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; (ii) a transaction from which the
director or officer derived an improper personal benefit; (iii) in the case of a director, a
circumstance under which the liability provisions regarding unlawful distributions are applicable;
or (iv) willful misconduct or a conscious disregard for the best interests of the corporation in a
proceeding by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor or in a
proceeding by or in the right of a shareholder.
Section 607.0831 of the FBCA provides that a director of a Florida corporation, such as the
Registrant, is not personally liable for monetary damages to the corporation or any other person
for any statement, vote, decision, or failure to act, regarding corporate management or policy, by
a director, unless: (i) the director breached or failed to perform his or her duties as a director;
and (ii) the director's breach of, or failure to perform, those duties constitutes: (A) a violation
of criminal law, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful
or had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; (B) a transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit, either directly or indirectly; (C) a circumstance
under which the liability provisions regarding unlawful distributions are applicable; (D) in a
proceeding by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor or by or in the
right of a shareholder, conscious disregard for the best interest of the corporation, or willful
misconduct; or (E) in a proceeding by or in the right of someone other than the corporation or a
shareholder, recklessness or an act or omission which was committed in bad faith or with malicious
purpose or in a manner exhibiting wanton and willful disregard of human rights, safety, or
property.
By-laws
. The Registrant's by-laws provide that, except as prohibited under Florida
law, it shall indemnify any person who was or is made a party to any proceeding by reason of the
fact that he or she was or is a director or officer of the corporation, or a director or officer of
the corporation serving as a trustee or fiduciary of an employee benefit plan of the corporation,
against liability incurred in connection with such proceeding, including any appeal thereof. The
Registrant maintains insurance policies insuring its directors and officers against certain
liabilities they may incur in their capacity as directors and officers.

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;
(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)
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.
(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; and
(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, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act 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.
(c) 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.
