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.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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

<P><FONT size="2">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 defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must
indemnify him against the expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees, which the
officer or director actually and reasonably incurred.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant
and the Bylaws of the Registrant provide for the indemnification of officers
and directors to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, the Registrant has also entered into employment agreements
with its officers and directors which provide for their indemnification with
respect to certain matters. The Registrant has purchased directors&#146; and
officers&#146; liability insurance for all its directors and executive officers.

1.
Represents the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance to
directors and employees upon exercise of options to purchase common stock
pursuant to the Harmonic Inc. 2002 Director Option Plan (the "2002
Director Plan") and the Harmonic Inc. 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
(the "2002 ESPP") (collectively, the "Plans"). Pursuant to Rule 416(a) of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), this
registration statement shall also cover any additional shares of common
stock that may be issued under the Plans by reason of any stock dividend,
stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction effected
without receipt of consideration that increases the number of outstanding
shares of common stock of the Registrant.
2.
Estimated pursuant to Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act solely for the
purpose of calculating the Registration Fee. The Proposed Maximum
Offering Price per Share with respect to the 400,000 shares of common
stock authorized and reserved for issuance under the 2002 Director Plan
has been estimated to be the average of the high and low price reported in
the Nasdaq National Market on June 26, 2002.
3.
Estimated pursuant to Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act solely for the
purpose of calculating the Registration Fee. The Proposed Maximum
Offering Price per Share with respect to the 1,500,000 shares of common
stock authorized and reserved for issuance under the 2002 ESPP has been
estimated to be the average of the high and low price reported in the
Nasdaq National Market on June 26, 2002.
4.
Amount of Registration Fee was calculated pursuant to Section 6(b) of the
Securities Act, which states that the fee shall be "$92 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 Offering Price by 0.000092.

PART II
Information Required in the Registration Statement
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, 2001, as filed with the SEC on March 18, 2002.
b.
The Registrant's current report on Form 8-K, as filed with
the SEC on March 18, 2002.
c.
The Registrant's quarterly
report on Form 10-Q for the three
months ended March 29, 2002, as filed with the SEC on May 13, 2002.
d.
The description of the Registrant's common stock contained in
the our 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 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.
None.
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
Table of Contents
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 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 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 also entered into employment agreements
with its officers and directors which provide for their indemnification with
respect to certain matters. The Registrant has purchased directors' and
officers' liability insurance for all its directors and executive officers.

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, 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.
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.
Table of Contents
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 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.
