CALCULATION OF REGISTRATION FEE



Title of securities to be registered	Amount to be registered	Proposed maximum offering price per share	Proposed maximum aggregate offering price	Amount of registration fee
Common Stock, $0.001 par value, to be issued under the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan (1)	5,000,000 shares	$33.54	$167,700,000	$19,486.74

(1)

(2)

The proposed maximum offering price per share has been estimated in accordance with Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee for shares reserved for future issuance under the registrant’s 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as Amended (the “ESPP”). The computation is based upon 85% (see explanation in following sentence) of the average of the high and low price of the registrant’s Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on February 3, 2015. Pursuant to the ESPP, which plan is incorporated by reference herein, the purchase price of a share of Common Stock means an amount equal to 85% of the Fair Market Value (as defined in the ESPP) of a share of Common Stock on the Offer Date (as defined in the ESPP) or the Purchase Date (as defined in the ESPP), whichever is lower.

Item 4. Description of Securities.

Not applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Not applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware (the “DGCL”) provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party 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 such corporation) by reason of the fact that any such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that such officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may indemnify officers and directors against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with the defense or settlement of any 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 an action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him or her against the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which such officer or director actually and reasonably incurred.

Section 102 of the DGCL allows a Delaware corporation to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or to any of its stockholders for monetary damage for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except in the case where the director (i) breaches such person’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) fails to act in good faith, engages in intentional misconduct or knowingly violates a law, (iii) authorizes the payment of a dividend or approves a stock purchase or redemption in violation of Section 174 of the DGCL or (iv) obtains an improper personal benefit. In accordance with the DGCL, the Sixth Article of the registrant’s certificate of incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as it may be amended, no director shall be personally liable to the registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. As permitted by the DGCL, the registrant’s bylaws provide that, under certain circumstances, directors and officers of the registrant shall be indemnified against expenses including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlements actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding by reason of their status as such. The registrant has also entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers that provide, under certain circumstances, directors and officers of the registrant shall, by reason of their status as such, be indemnified against expenses including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlements actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding.

See also the undertakings set forth in response to Item 9 hereof.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Not applicable.

Item 8. Exhibits.

The Exhibits listed on the accompanying Index to Exhibits are filed as a part hereof, and incorporated by reference into, this Registration Statement. (See Index to Exhibits below).

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 of 1933, as amended (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 the 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 a prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% 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 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 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 registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, 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.

SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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 the City of San Jose, State of California, on February 4, 2015.
