<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Item&nbsp;6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a Delaware corporation
may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party 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 such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys&#146;
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such
person in connection with such action, suit or 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 the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a Delaware corporation
may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a
judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person acted in any of the capacities set
forth above, against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such
person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted under
similar standards, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or
matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and
only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine that,
despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person
is fairly and reasonably entitled to be indemnified for such expenses which the court shall deem
proper.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law further provides that (i)&nbsp;to the extent
that a former or present director or officer of a corporation has been successful in the defense of
any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a)&nbsp;and (b)&nbsp;or in the defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith; (ii)
indemnification provided for by Section&nbsp;145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to
which the indemnified party may be entitled; and (iii)&nbsp;the corporation may purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any present or former director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation or any person who at the request of the corporation was serving in such capacity for
another entity against any liability asserted against such person and 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&nbsp;145.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As permitted by Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, our Certificate of
Incorporation provides that a director shall not be liable to the Company or our stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. However, such provision does not
eliminate or limit the liability of a director for acts or omissions not in good faith or for
breaching his or her duty of loyalty, engaging in intentional misconduct or knowingly violating a
law, paying a dividend or approving a stock repurchase which was illegal, or obtaining an improper
personal benefit. In addition, our Bylaws contain provisions indemnifying the directors, officers,
employees and agents of the Company to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General
Corporation Law. Any indemnification under our Bylaws is subject to a prior determination by a
majority of the directors of the Company who are not party to the underlying action that the person
seeking indemnification has met the applicable standard of conduct.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the provisions of our Bylaws, expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending a
civil or criminal suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final
disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of
the person seeking indemnification to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that he or
she is not entitled to be indemnified. The Company has entered into indemnity agreements with

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
</DIV>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">(1). To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this Registration Statement:
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;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 Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the &#147;Calculation of Registration Fee&#148; table in the effective registration
statement; and
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;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.
</DIV>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Provided, however, </I>that paragraphs 1(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed
with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">(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 herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">(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.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">(4). The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant&#146;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&#146;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.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">(5). 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 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.

INTRODUCTION
This Registration Statement on Form S-8 is filed by The Corporate Executive Board
Company, a Delaware corporation (the "Registrant" or the "Company"), relating to obligations of the
Company to pay compensation deferred in accordance with The Corporate Executive Board Deferred
Compensation Plan.
PART I
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS
The document(s) containing the information specified in Part I will be sent or given to
employees and outside directors as specified by Rule 428(b)(1) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"). Such documents are not being filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") either as part of this Registration Statement or as prospectuses or
prospectus supplements pursuant to Rule 424 of the Securities Act. Such documents and the
documents incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement pursuant to Item 3 of Part II
hereof, taken together, constitute a prospectus that meets the requirements of Section 10(a) of the
Securities Act.
PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference
The following documents filed by the Company with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or Securities Act are hereby incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement:
(a)
The Company's most recent annual report on Form 10-K filed pursuant to
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or latest prospectus filed pursuant to
Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act that contains audited financial statements for
the Company's most recently completed fiscal year for which such statements have
been filed; and
(b)
All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year covered by the Company's financial
statements included in the most recent annual report on Form 10-K or prospectus
referred to in (a) above.
All documents filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act after the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement indicating that all securities offered have
been sold or that deregisters the distribution of all such 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
other subsequently filed document that also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein
modifies or supersedes such statement. The Company's Exchange Act file number with the Commission
is 000-24799.
Item 4. Description of Securities
Under The Corporate Executive Board Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), the Company will
provide eligible employees and outside directors of the Company with the opportunity to elect to
defer a specified percentage of their future annual base salary, commissions and bonus. The
obligations of the Company under the Plan (the "Obligations") will be unsecured general obligations
of the Company to pay the compensation deferred in accordance with the terms of the Plan, along
with any interest or earnings deemed credited on the deferrals, and the rights of the participants
in the Plan ("Participants") shall be no greater than those of unsecured general creditors of the
Company. The Plan may be amended, modified, suspended or terminated in whole or in part, except
that no amendment, modification, suspension or termination shall have any retroactive effect to
reduce any amounts of compensation allocated to a Participant's
account. Up to $50,000,000 of Plan
Obligations are being registered under this Registration Statement to be offered pursuant to the
Plan.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a Delaware corporation
may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party 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 such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such
person in connection with such action, suit or 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 the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
Section 145(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a Delaware corporation
may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a
judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person acted in any of the capacities set
forth above, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such
person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted under
similar standards, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or
matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and
only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine that,
despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person
is fairly and reasonably entitled to be indemnified for such expenses which the court shall deem
proper.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law further provides that (i) to the extent
that a former or present director or officer of a corporation has been successful in the defense of
any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) or in the defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith; (ii)
indemnification provided for by Section 145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to
which the indemnified party may be entitled; and (iii) the corporation may purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any present or former director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation or any person who at the request of the corporation was serving in such capacity for
another entity against any liability asserted against such person and 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 145.
As permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, our Certificate of
Incorporation provides that a director shall not be liable to the Company or our stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. However, such provision does not
eliminate or limit the liability of a director for acts or omissions not in good faith or for
breaching his or her duty of loyalty, engaging in intentional misconduct or knowingly violating a
law, paying a dividend or approving a stock repurchase which was illegal, or obtaining an improper
personal benefit. In addition, our Bylaws contain provisions indemnifying the directors, officers,
employees and agents of the Company to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General
Corporation Law. Any indemnification under our Bylaws is subject to a prior determination by a
majority of the directors of the Company who are not party to the underlying action that the person
seeking indemnification has met the applicable standard of conduct.
Under the provisions of our Bylaws, expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending a
civil or criminal suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final
disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of
the person seeking indemnification to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that he or
she is not entitled to be indemnified. The Company has entered into indemnity agreements with
certain officers and directors setting forth the terms described herein. These indemnity agreements
provide that the Company is not obligated to advance expenses in an action against the Company by
the indemnified officer or director unless the action seeks to enforce the indemnity agreement.
The Company may, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law,
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or agent against any
liability which may be asserted against such person.

Item 9. Undertakings
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 Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
statement; and
(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 1(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed
with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 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 herein, 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 the offering.
(4). 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.
(5). 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 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.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it
has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and
has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
thereunto duly authorized, in Washington, District of Columbia, on November 14, 2006.
