(1)   Each share of Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) of Harmonic Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”), includes a right to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of the Registrant’s Series A Participating Preferred Stock.
 
(2)   Pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), this registration statement also covers any additional shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock that become issuable pursuant to the stock options assumed by the Registrant under the Entone Technologies, Inc. 2003 Stock Plan, as amended (the “Entone Plan”) by reason of any shares being offered or issued to prevent dilution resulting from any stock splits, stock dividends or other similar transactions.
 
(3)   Estimated in accordance with 457(h) solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee. Such number of shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock (the “Shares”) represents the aggregate number of Shares subject to outstanding options pursuant to the Entone Plan, which outstanding options were assumed by Registrant in connection with the merger of Edinburgh Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Registrant (“Edinburgh”), with and into Entone Technologies, Inc., a Delware corporation (“Entone”), effective as of December 8, 2006 (the “Merger”). The number of Shares subject to outstanding options under the Entone Plan as of the closing of the Merger and registered hereunder and the applicable exercise price have been calculated pursuant to the exchange ratio set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 21, 2006, and amended as of November 29, 2006, by and among the Registrant, Edinburgh, Entone, Entone, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Entone, Entone Technologies (HK) Limited, a company organized under the laws of Hong Kong and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Entone, Jim Jones, as stockholders’ representative, and U.S. Bank, National Association, as escrow agent. The Shares registered hereby consist of outstanding options to purchase up to 175,342 Shares under the Entone Plan, with a weighted average exercise price of $0.49.
 
(4)   Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the amount of the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act. The proposed maximum offering price per share is based on the weighted-average per share exercise price (rounded to the nearest cent) of the stock options assumed by the Registrant under the Entone Plan.

Table of Contents

In addition, the Registrant hereby incorporates by reference into this registration statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) the description of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), contained in the Registrant’s 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 with the SEC 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.
     The validity of the issuance of the shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock offered hereby has been passed upon by Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, P.C. (“WSGR”). Certain members and employees of WSGR beneficially own shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock. Jeffrey D. 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 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.

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:
     (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 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 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement;

Table of Contents

     (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 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.
     (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 (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 Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company 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 Company in successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered hereunder, the Company 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 of 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.
