</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award or a
corporation&#146;s board of directors to grant indemnification to directors and officers in terms
sufficiently broad to permit the indemnification under some circumstances for liabilities
(including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. Article&nbsp;IX of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant provides that, subject to
Delaware law, its directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their
fiduciary duties to the Registrant and its stockholders. This provision does not eliminate any
director&#146;s fiduciary
duties and in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of
non-monetary relief will remain available under Delaware law. The provision also does not affect a
director&#146;s responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal securities laws or state or
federal environmental laws.

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 of 1933
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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference
Network Appliance, Inc. (the "Registrant") hereby incorporates by reference into this
Registration Statement the following documents previously filed with the Commission:
(a)
The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005, filed
with the Commission on July 8, 2005, pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "1934 Act");
(b)
The Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Commission on August 4, 2005;
(c)
The Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Commission on September 1, 2005; and
(d)
The Registrant's Registration Statement No. 000-27130 on Form 8-A filed with the Commission on
November 1, 1995, in which there is described the terms, rights and provisions applicable to
the Registrant's Common Stock.
All reports and definitive proxy or information statements filed pursuant to Section 13(a),
13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act after the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the
filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been
sold or which de-registers all securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated
by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of
such documents. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by
reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration
Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any subsequently filed document
which also is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement.
Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or
superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award or a
corporation's board of directors to grant indemnification to directors and officers in terms
sufficiently broad to permit the indemnification under some circumstances for liabilities
(including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. Article IX of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant provides that, subject to
Delaware law, its directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their
fiduciary duties to the Registrant and its stockholders. This provision does not eliminate any
director's fiduciary
duties and in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of
non-monetary relief will remain available under Delaware law. The provision also does not affect a
director's responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal securities laws or state or
federal environmental laws.

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 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.
(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.
Table of Contents
(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 Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing
of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the 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.
(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
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933
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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
