  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 such person is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or
  was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
  corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees),
  judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
  connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such person 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, with

  <P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">was illegal. In addition, the statutes of Delaware contain provisions to the general effect that
  any director shall in
  the performance of his duties be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the books of
  account or records of the corporation or statements prepared by any official of the corporation.
  
  
  <P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 further authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of
  any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was
  serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
  corporation or enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any
  such capacity, arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise
  have the power to indemnify him under Section&nbsp;145.
  
  
  <P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a
  director or officer of the Registrant (a)&nbsp;shall be indemnified by the Registrant against all
  expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement incurred in
  connection with any litigation or other legal proceeding (other than an action by or in the right
  of the Registrant) brought against him by virtue of his position as a director or officer of the
  Registrant if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not
  opposed to, the best interest of the Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or
  proceeding, has no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful and (b)&nbsp;shall be
  indemnified by the Registrant against all expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines
  and amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection with any action by or in the right of the
  Registrant brought against him by virtue of his position as a director or officer of the Registrant
  if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the
  best interests of the Registrant, except that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any
  matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Registrant, unless a
  court determines that, despite such adjudication but in view of all of the circumstances, he is
  entitled to indemnification of such expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that a
  director or officer has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, including, without limitation,
  the dismissal of an action without prejudice, he is required to be indemnified by the Registrant
  against all expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) incurred in connection therewith. Expenses shall
  be advanced by the Registrant to a director or officer at his request, provided that he undertakes
  to repay the amount advanced if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to
  indemnification for such expenses.
  
  
  <P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation further provides
  that indemnification is required to be made promptly unless the Registrant determines that the
  applicable standard of conduct required for indemnification has not been met. In the event the
  Registrant denies a request for indemnification, or if the Registrant fails to dispose of a request
  for indemnification within 60&nbsp;days after such payment is claimed by the indemnitee, such person is
  permitted to petition the court to make an independent determination as to whether such person is
  entitled to indemnification. As a condition precedent to the right of indemnification, the director
  or officer must give the Registrant notice of the action for which indemnity is sought and the
  Registrant has the right to participate in such action or assume the defense thereof.
  
  
  <P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation further provides
  that the indemnification provided therein is not exclusive, and provides that in the event that the General Corporation Law is amended to expand the indemnification permitted to directors or
  officers, the Registrant must indemnify those persons to the fullest extent permitted by such law
  as so amended.
  
  
  <P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation further provides
  that the registrant&#146;s directors and officers shall not be liable to the registrant or its

  INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
  Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
  Sapient Corporation (the "Registrant") hereby incorporates the following documents herein by
  reference:
  (a)
  The Registrant's latest annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
  December 31, 2004, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
  pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), on
  March 16
  ,
  2005.
  (b)
  All other reports filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d)
  of the Exchange Act subsequent to December 31, 2005.
  (c)
  The description of the Common Stock, $.01 par value per share, contained in
  the Company's Registration Statement on Form 8-A, filed with the Commission pursuant to
  Section 12 of the Exchange Act on March 26, 1996, as amended by Form 8-A/A filed with
  the Commission on March 28, 1996.
  All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and
  15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration
  Statement that indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all
  securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated herein by reference from the
  date of filing of such documents.
  Item 4. Description of Securities.
  Not applicable.
  Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
  Not applicable.
  Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
  The Registrant is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 ("Section
  145") of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter
  be amended (the "General Corporation Law"), inter alia, provides that a Delaware corporation may
  indemnify any persons who were, 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 such corporation), by reason of the fact
  that such person is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or
  was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
  corporation or 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 such person acted in good faith and in a
  manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation's best interests and, with
  respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct
  Table of Contents
  was illegal. In addition, the statutes of Delaware contain provisions to the general effect that
  any director shall in
  the performance of his duties be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the books of
  account or records of the corporation or statements prepared by any official of the corporation.
  Section 145 further authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of
  any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was
  serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
  corporation or enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any
  such capacity, arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise
  have the power to indemnify him under Section 145.
  The Registrant's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a
  director or officer of the Registrant (a) shall be indemnified by the Registrant against all
  expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement incurred in
  connection with any litigation or other legal proceeding (other than an action by or in the right
  of the Registrant) brought against him by virtue of his position as a director or officer of the
  Registrant if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not
  opposed to, the best interest of the Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or
  proceeding, has no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful and (b) shall be
  indemnified by the Registrant against all expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines
  and amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection with any action by or in the right of the
  Registrant brought against him by virtue of his position as a director or officer of the Registrant
  if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the
  best interests of the Registrant, except that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any
  matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Registrant, unless a
  court determines that, despite such adjudication but in view of all of the circumstances, he is
  entitled to indemnification of such expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that a
  director or officer has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, including, without limitation,
  the dismissal of an action without prejudice, he is required to be indemnified by the Registrant
  against all expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection therewith. Expenses shall
  be advanced by the Registrant to a director or officer at his request, provided that he undertakes
  to repay the amount advanced if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to
  indemnification for such expenses.
  The Registrant's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation further provides
  that indemnification is required to be made promptly unless the Registrant determines that the
  applicable standard of conduct required for indemnification has not been met. In the event the
  Registrant denies a request for indemnification, or if the Registrant fails to dispose of a request
  for indemnification within 60 days after such payment is claimed by the indemnitee, such person is
  permitted to petition the court to make an independent determination as to whether such person is
  entitled to indemnification. As a condition precedent to the right of indemnification, the director
  or officer must give the Registrant notice of the action for which indemnity is sought and the
  Registrant has the right to participate in such action or assume the defense thereof.
  The Registrant's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation further provides
  that the indemnification provided therein is not exclusive, and provides that in the event that the General Corporation Law is amended to expand the indemnification permitted to directors or
  officers, the Registrant must indemnify those persons to the fullest extent permitted by such law
  as so amended.
  The Registrant's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation further provides
  that the registrant's directors and officers shall not be liable to the registrant or its
  stockholders for monetary damages for
  -2-
  Table of Contents
  breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent
  that the exculpation from liabilities is not permitted under
  the General Corporation Law. It also provides that the Registrant shall not indemnify a person in
  connection with an action that was initiated by the person, unless the initiation of the action was
  approved by the directors.
  All of the Registrant's directors and officers are covered by insurance policies maintained by
  the Registrant against specified liabilities for actions taken in their capacities as such,
  including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

  (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
  -3-
  Table of Contents
  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 a prospectus filed
  with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
  changes in volume and price represent no more than 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 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) above shall 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 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 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

  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
  may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant

  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.
