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 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.</font></p>

Item 3.  Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
1.             The following documents, or portions of documents,
previously filed by Overstock.com, Inc. (the "Company") with the
Commission are hereby incorporated herein by reference:
·
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year

·
Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31,

(b)           The description of the Company's Common Stock, $.0001 par
value, contained in the Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed May 6,
2002, including any amendment or report filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission for the purpose of updating such description.
2.             All reports subsequently filed by the Company or the

sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed

Item 4.  Description of
Securities.
Not Applicable.
Item 5.  Interests of Named
Experts and Counsel.
Not Applicable.
Item 6.  Indemnification of
Directors and Officers.
We are organized under the
laws of the State of Delaware. Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended,
and bylaws, as amended, eliminate the personal liability of our directors to
the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. In
addition, our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and bylaws, as amended,
provide indemnity for our current or former officers and directors against all
liabilities and costs of defending an action or suit in which they were
involved by reason of their positions with us. However, we cannot indemnify any
person if a court finds that the person did not act in good faith. Our bylaws,
as amended, also provide that we may purchase insurance to protect any
director, officer, employee or agent against any liability. We have entered
into separate indemnification agreements with each of our directors and
executive officers, whereby we have agreed, among other things, to indemnify
them to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law,
subject to specified limitations, against certain liabilities actually incurred
by them in any proceeding in which they are a party that may arise by reason of
their status as directors, officers, employees or agents or may arise by reason
of their serving as such at our request for another entity and to advance their
expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they
could be indemnified. We intend to enter into similar separate indemnification
agreements with any directors or officers who may join us in the future. Except
for the
3
counterclaims
brought by the defendants in the
litigation
the Company originally
commenced in 2005 against Gradient Analytics, Inc.; Rocker Partners, LP;
Rocker Management, LLC; Rocker Offshore Management Company, Inc. and
their respective principals in the Superior Court of California, County of
Marin., there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our
directors, officers, employees or other agents as to which indemnification is
being sought nor are we aware of any pending or threatened litigation that may
result in claims for indemnification.

Item 9.  Undertakings.
The undersigned
  registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)       (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 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
percent 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
(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
4
furnished to the
Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 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.
(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)       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 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 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.
