(1) This Registration Statement shall also cover any additional shares of
Registrant's Common Stock which become issuable under the option plans
listed in the table above (the "Plans") by reason of any stock dividend,
stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction effected without
the Registrant's receipt of consideration which results in an increase in
the number of the Registrant's outstanding shares of Common Stock. These
shares were initially registered on the Registration Statement on
Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-75638) on December
21, 2001 (the "Form S-4").
(2) Preferred Share Purchase Rights (the "Rights") initially trade together
with the Common Stock. The value attributable to the Rights, if any, is
reflected in the market price of the Common Stock.
(3) A Registration fee was paid previously in connection with the initial
registration of these shares on the Form S-4. Accordingly, in accordance
with Rule 457(b), no additional registration fee is required.

Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such
documents. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to

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 Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to
include in its charter documents, and in agreements between the corporation and
its directors and officers, provisions expanding the scope of indemnification
beyond that specifically provided by the current law.
Article X of the Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for
the indemnification of directors to the fullest extent permissible under
Delaware Law.
Article VII of the Registrant's Bylaws provides for the indemnification of
officers, directors and third parties to the fullest extent permissible under
Delaware Law, which provisions are deemed to be a contract between the
Registrant and each director and officer who serves in such capacity while such
bylaw is in effect.
The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors
and executive officers, in addition to the indemnification provided for in the
Registrant's Bylaws, and intends to enter into indemnification agreements with
any new directors and executive officers in the future. The Registrant has also
obtained liability insurance for the benefit of its directors and officers.
In general, members of any of the committees administering the Plans shall be
entitled to full indemnification and reimbursement as members of the Board of
Directors. No member of such committees, generally, shall be liable for any act
of omission made in good faith with respect to the Plans or any option grants or
stock issuances thereunder.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed

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 "1933 Act"), (ii) to
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of this 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 this Registration Statement and (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 clauses
(1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall not apply if the information required to be included in
a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports
filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act
that are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement; (2) that
for the purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 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; and
(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 1933 Act, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that is
incorporated by reference into 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 1933 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 1933 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 1933 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
Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 on Form S-8 to the Registration Statement on Form
S-4 to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in
the City of Mountain View, State of California on this 6th day of June, 2002.
