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.&#160; 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.</font></h3>

Pursuant
to Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act") this Registration Statement shall also cover any additional shares of
common stock which become issuable under the above-named plan 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 our outstanding shares of common stock.
(2)
With
respect to the 696,002 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of
stock options that are currently outstanding under the RBC Bearings
Incorporated 2005 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (the "2005 Plan"), the
462,992 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options that
are currently outstanding under the RBC Bearings Incorporated Amended and
Restated 2001 Stock Option Plan (the "2001 Plan"), and the 208,725 shares of
common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options that are currently
outstanding under the RBC Bearings Incorporated 1998 Stock Option Plan (the "1998
Plan") the proposed maximum offering price is calculated pursuant to Rule 457(h) under
the Securities Act based on average exercise prices of $14.51 for the options
outstanding under the 2005 Plan, approximately $10.05 for the options
outstanding under the 2001 Plan and $2.06 for the options outstanding under the
1998 Plan.  With respect to the 443,168
shares of common stock that are currently authorized for issuance upon exercise
of awards that have not yet been granted under the 2005 Plan, the proposed
maximum offering price is calculated pursuant to paragraphs (c) and (h) of
Rule 457 under the Securities Act on the basis of the average of the high
and low sale prices for the shares of common stock as reported on The Nasdaq
Stock Market through November 16, 2005 solely for the purpose of
calculating the registration fee.  With
respect to the 6,250 shares of common stock that are currently held by a former
employee, Jane Bohrer, issued pursuant to the exercise of 6,250 options issued
under the 2001 Plan, the proposed maximum offering price is baesd on the
exercise price of $12.00 per share for such options.

the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), on August 9,

Item 4.
Description
of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5.
Interests

Not applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification
of Directors and Officers.
We are incorporated under
the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 ("Section 145") of the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL") provides that a
Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was, is or is threatened to
be made, 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 such corporation), by reason of the fact
that such person is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of such
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The
indemnity may include expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person
in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such person acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the corporation's best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was illegal. A
Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who are, were or are threatened
to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by
or in the right of the
2
corporation by reasons of the fact that such person is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The
indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement
of such action or suit, provided such person acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation's best
interests, provided that no indemnification is permitted without judicial
approval if the officer, director, employee or agent is adjudged to be liable
to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or
otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must
indemnify him against the expenses which such officer or director has actually
and reasonably incurred.
Section 145 further
authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any
person who 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 any liability
asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out
of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise have the
power to indemnify him under Section 145.
Our amended and restated
certificate of incorporation provides that we must indemnify our directors and
officers to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL and must also pay
expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final
disposition upon delivery of an undertaking, by or on behalf of an indemnified
person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it should be determined ultimately
that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under this section or
otherwise.
The indemnification
rights set forth above shall not be exclusive of any other right which an
indemnified person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision
of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our by laws,
agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
We maintain insurance to
protect us and our directors and officers against any expense, liability or
loss, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify such persons against
such expense, liability or loss under applicable law.
Item 7.
Exemption
from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8.
Exhibits.
Reference is made to the attached Exhibit Index, which is incorporated
by reference herein.
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 the 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 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 a 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;
3
provided
,
however
, that
paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(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
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 Company'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 herein, 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.
