</DIV>


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

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

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

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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

in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this 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&nbsp;percent change in the maximum aggregate

permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
indemnification provisions summarized in Item&nbsp;6 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.

(1)
Pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, this Registration Statement shall cover any additional shares of the Common Stock of Harmonic Inc. (the "Registrant") that become
issuable pursuant to the stock options and restricted stock units assumed by the Registrant under the Omneon Video Networks, Inc. 1998 Stock Option Plan and the Omneon, Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive
Plan (the "Omneon Plans") by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction effected without receipt of consideration that increases the number of the
Registrant's outstanding shares of Common Stock.
(2)
Estimated solely for calculating the fee pursuant to Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act on the basis of the average of the high and low prices of the Registrant's common stock as reported on the
NASDAQ Global Select Market on September 17, 2010.
(3)
The number of shares of the Registrant's Common Stock (the "Shares") represents the aggregate number of Shares subject to outstanding options and restricted stock units issued pursuant to the Omneon Plans
that were assumed by Registrant in connection with the merger of Orinda Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Registrant ("Merger Sub"), with and into Omneon, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("Omneon"), effective as of September 14, 2010 (the "Merger"), pursuant to which Omneon became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant. The number of Shares issuable by Registrant in
connection with the assumed options and restricted stock units of Omneon has been calculated pursuant to the exchange ratio set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of May 6, 2010, by
and among the Registrant, Merger Sub, Omneon, Orinda Acquisition, LLC, a Delaware corporation and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado corporation, as amended.
(4)
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 2010 shall be "$71.30 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 0.0000713.

The validity of the issuance of the shares of the Registrant's Common Stock offered hereby has

Saper, a member of WSGR, 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 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
Table of Contents
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.

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

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 percent change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
Registration Statement;
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in
this Registration Statement.
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 this 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.
(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 that is incorporated by reference in this
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 or controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
indemnification provisions summarized in Item 6 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.
