<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Reference is made to Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law
(the &#147;DGCL&#148;), which enables a corporation in its original certificate of
incorporation or an amendment to its certificate of incorporation to eliminate
or limit the personal liability of a director for monetary damages for
violations of the director&#146;s fiduciary duty, except (1)&nbsp;for any breach of a
director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2)&nbsp;for acts
or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (3)&nbsp;pursuant to Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL, providing
for liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock
purchases or redemption, or (4)&nbsp;for any transaction from which a director
derived an improper personal benefit.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Reference is also made to Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL which provides that a
corporation may indemnify any persons, including officers and directors, who
are, or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative, other than an action by or in the right of the corporation,
by reason of the fact that the person was an officer, director, employee or
agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation or other enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses, including
attorneys&#146; fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the action, suit or
proceeding, provided the officer, director, employee or agent acted in good
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
corporation&#146;s best interests and, for a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable
cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may
indemnify officers and directors in an action by or in the right of the
corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is
permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to
be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on
the merits or otherwise in the

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant and the
Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Registrant provide for the indemnification

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">In addition, the Registrant has entered into agreements with its officers and
directors that provide for their indemnification with respect to certain
matters, in addition to indemnification provided for in its Amended and
Restated Bylaws. These agreements, among other things, indemnify the
Registrant&#146;s officers and directors for certain expenses (including attorneys&#146;
fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any such person in
any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of the
Registrant, arising out of such person&#146;s services as an officer or director of
the Registrant, any subsidiary of the Registrant or any other company or
enterprise to which the person provides services at the Registrant&#146;s request.
The Registrant also maintains an insurance policy insuring the Registrant&#146;s
officers and directors against liability for certain acts and omissions while
acting in their official capacities.

Represents the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for
issuance upon exercise of options to purchase Common Stock pursuant
to the Registrant's 2002 Employee
Stock Purchase Plan (the "2002 ESPP") and the Registrant's 1995 Stock Plan, each as amended (collectively, the 2002 ESPP and the 1995 Stock Plan, the "Plans"). Pursuant to Rule 416(a)
promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), this registration statement is deemed to include additional shares of the Registrant's
Common Stock to be offered or issued pursuant to the antidilution provisions of the Plans.
(2)
The number of shares of the Registrant's Common Stock
being registered under this registration statement with respect to the 1995 Stock Plan includes: a) 2,500,000
shares of Common Stock newly authorized and reserved for issuance thereunder; b) up to 1,185,129 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Registrant's 1999
Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan (the "1999 NSSOP") that have been transferred to the 1995 Stock Plan; and c) up to 1,800,000 shares of Common Stock subject to options under the
1999 NSSOP that have been transferred to the 1995 Stock Plan, and will be reserved for issuance under the 1995 Stock Plan upon the expiration of such options.
(3)
The Proposed Maximum Offering Price Per Share is calculated, in part, pursuant to Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act, and as such, is based upon the exercise price of
the shares issuable pursuant to the 2002 ESPP that are registered hereby. The Proposed Maximum Offering Price Per Share with respect to the additional 2,000,000 shares of
Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance pursuant to future grants under the 2002 ESPP is estimated, pursuant to Rule 457(c), to be the average of the high and low
prices of the Registrant's Common Stock as reported on The Nasdaq Stock Market on June 9, 2004.
(4)
The Proposed Maximum Offering Price Per Share is calculated, in part, pursuant to Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act, and as such, is based upon the exercise price of
the shares issuable pursuant to the 1995 Stock Plan that are
registered hereby. The Proposed Maximum Offering Price Per Share with
respect to the additional 5,485,129
shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance pursuant to future grants under the 1995 Stock Plan is estimated, pursuant to Rule 457(c), to be the average of
the high and low prices of the Registrant's Common Stock as reported on The Nasdaq Stock Market on June 9, 2004.
(5)
The Amount of Registration Fee was calculated pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Securities Act, which states that the adjusted fee rate for fiscal 2004 shall be "$126.70
per $1 million" of the maximum aggregate price at which such securities are proposed to be offered. The Registration Fee is therefore calculated by multiplying the Proposed
Maximum Aggregate Offering Price by 0.0001267.
(6)
The Registrant is paying a filing fee of $2,134 for the registration of 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock hereunder. The Registrant has previously paid the filing fee for
the registration on Form S-8 of up to 2,985,129 shares of Common Stock that have been transferred from the 1999 NSSOP to the 1995 Stock Plan.

Item 3.
Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents, previously filed by Harmonic Inc. (the "Registrant")
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), are hereby
incorporated by reference in this registration statement:
a.
The Registrant's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2003, filed with the SEC on March 9, 2004.
b.
The Registrant's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months
ended April 2, 2004, filed with the SEC on May 12, 2004.
In addition, the Registrant hereby incorporates by reference into this
registration statement the description of the Registrant's Common Stock contained in the Registrant's registration statement on Form
8-A, dated April 6, 1995, as filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 12 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), including any
amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such description.
All documents filed with the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a),
13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date of this registration
statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment indicating that
all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then
remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this
registration statement and to be part hereof from the date of filing 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 other subsequently filed document which also is or
is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such
statement. Any 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.
Interest of Named Experts and Counsel.
The validity of the issuance of the shares of the Registrant's Common Stock
offered hereby has been passed upon by Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati,
Professional Corporation ("WSGR"). Certain members and employees of WSGR
beneficially own shares of the Registrant's Common Stock. Jeffrey D. Saper, a
member of WSGR and corporate secretary for the Registrant, owns 6,484 shares
of the Registrant's Common Stock.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Reference is made to Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law
(the "DGCL"), which enables a corporation in its original certificate of
incorporation or an amendment to its certificate of incorporation to eliminate
or limit the personal liability of a director for monetary damages for
violations of the director's fiduciary duty, except (1) for any breach of a
director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) for acts
or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (3) pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, providing
for liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock
purchases or redemption, or (4) for any transaction from which a director
derived an improper personal benefit.
Reference is also made to Section 145 of the DGCL which provides that a
corporation may indemnify any persons, including officers and directors, who
are, or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative, other than an action by or in the right of the corporation,
by reason of the fact that the person was an officer, director, employee or
agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation or other enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses, including
attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the action, suit or
proceeding, provided the officer, director, employee or agent acted in good
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
corporation's best interests and, for a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable
cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may
indemnify officers and directors in an action by or in the right of the
corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is
permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to
be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on
the merits or otherwise in the
Table of Contents
defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him
against the expenses, including attorneys' fees, which the officer or director
actually and reasonably incurred.
The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant and the
Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Registrant provide for the indemnification
of officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
In addition, the Registrant has entered into agreements with its officers and
directors that provide for their indemnification with respect to certain
matters, in addition to indemnification provided for in its Amended and
Restated Bylaws. These agreements, among other things, indemnify the
Registrant's officers and directors for certain expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any such person in
any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of the
Registrant, arising out of such person's services as an officer or director of
the Registrant, any subsidiary of the Registrant or any other company or
enterprise to which the person provides services at the Registrant's request.
The Registrant also maintains an insurance policy insuring the Registrant's
officers and directors against liability for certain acts and omissions while
acting in their official capacities.

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, as amended, (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.
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, 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.
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 Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation, Amended and Restated Bylaws, indemnification agreements,
or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
SEC 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.
