<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section
23B.08.510 of the Washington Business Corporation Act (&#147;WBCA&#148;) authorizes
Washington corporations to indemnify their officers and directors under certain
circumstances against expenses and liabilities incurred in legal proceedings involving
such persons because of their being or having been an officer or director. Section
23B.08.560 of the WBCA authorizes a corporation by provision in its articles of
incorporation, bylaws adopted by the shareholders, or a resolution adopted or ratified,
before or after the event, by the shareholders, to agree to indemnify a director and
obligate itself to advance or reimburse expenses without regard to the provisions of
Sections 23B.08.510 through .550; provided however that no such indemnity shall be made
for or on account of any (a) acts or omissions of a director that involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (b) conduct in violation of Section 23B.08.310
of the WBCA (which section relates to unlawful distributions) or (c) any transaction from
which a director personally received a benefit in money, property or services to which the
director was not legally entitled. Cintas Corporation&#146;s Bylaws provide
indemnification of Cintas&#146; officers and directors and advancement of expenses to the
fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cintas
Corporation&#146;s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation contain a provision
eliminating the personal liability of directors to Cintas or its shareholders for monetary
damages arising under the conduct as a director. Under Washington law, this provision
eliminates the liability of a director for breach of fiduciary duty but does not eliminate
the personal liability of any director for (i) acts or omissions of a director that
involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (ii) conduct in violation of
Section 23B.08.310 of the WBCA or (iii) any transaction from which a director personally
received a benefit in money, property or services to which the director was not legally
entitled. </FONT></P>

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant&#146;s annual
report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan&#146;s annual report
pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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. </FONT></P>

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 Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the 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 Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </FONT></P>

Item 6.    Indemnification
of Directors and Officers
Section
23B.08.510 of the Washington Business Corporation Act ("WBCA") authorizes
Washington corporations to indemnify their officers and directors under certain
circumstances against expenses and liabilities incurred in legal proceedings involving
such persons because of their being or having been an officer or director. Section
23B.08.560 of the WBCA authorizes a corporation by provision in its articles of
incorporation, bylaws adopted by the shareholders, or a resolution adopted or ratified,
before or after the event, by the shareholders, to agree to indemnify a director and
obligate itself to advance or reimburse expenses without regard to the provisions of
Sections 23B.08.510 through .550; provided however that no such indemnity shall be made
for or on account of any (a) acts or omissions of a director that involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (b) conduct in violation of Section 23B.08.310
of the WBCA (which section relates to unlawful distributions) or (c) any transaction from
which a director personally received a benefit in money, property or services to which the
director was not legally entitled. Cintas Corporation's Bylaws provide
indemnification of Cintas' officers and directors and advancement of expenses to the
fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law.
Cintas
Corporation's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation contain a provision
eliminating the personal liability of directors to Cintas or its shareholders for monetary
damages arising under the conduct as a director. Under Washington law, this provision
eliminates the liability of a director for breach of fiduciary duty but does not eliminate

Item 9.    Undertakings
9.1   
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 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;
(ii)       
               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;
(iii)       
               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;
9.2   
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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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.
9.3   
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 Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the 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 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 Cincinnati, Ohio, on January 24, 2006.
