employees and individuals against expenses including attorney&#146;s fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with various actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than
an action by or in the right of the corporation, such as a derivative action), if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, if they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of any actions by or in the right of the corporation, except that indemnification only extends to expenses,
including attorneys&#146; fees, incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such actions, and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to
the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation&#146;s certificate of incorporation, bylaws, agreement, a vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. </P>

its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as a director, except for liability (a)&nbsp;for any breach of that director&#146;s duty of loyalty to B&amp;W or its stockholders, (b)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith
or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or as the provision hereafter may be amended, supplemented or replaced, or

proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person or a person for whom such person is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of B&amp;W or, while a director or officer of
B&amp;W, is or was serving at B&amp;W&#146;s request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to
employee benefit plans, against all liability and losses suffered and expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. B&amp;W&#146;s bylaws also provide that B&amp;W will pay the
expenses incurred by a director or officer in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition, subject to such person providing B&amp;W with specified undertakings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, B&amp;W&#146;s bylaws provide that
it shall be required to indemnify or make advances to a person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if the proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by B&amp;W&#146;s board of directors. These rights are

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Delaware Law
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other
employees and individuals against expenses including attorney's fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with various actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than
an action by or in the right of the corporation, such as a derivative action), if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, if they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of any actions by or in the right of the corporation, except that indemnification only extends to expenses,
including attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such actions, and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to
the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation's certificate of incorporation, bylaws, agreement, a vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
B&W's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
B&W's certificate of incorporation provides that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or
its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as a director, except for liability (a) for any breach of that director's duty of loyalty to B&W or its stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith
or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or as the provision hereafter may be amended, supplemented or replaced, or
(d) for any transactions from which that director derived an improper personal benefit.
B&W's bylaws provide that B&W
will indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may be amended, any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person or a person for whom such person is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of B&W or, while a director or officer of
B&W, is or was serving at B&W's request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to
employee benefit plans, against all liability and losses suffered and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. B&W's bylaws also provide that B&W will pay the
expenses incurred by a director or officer in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition, subject to such person providing B&W with specified undertakings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, B&W's bylaws provide that
it shall be required to indemnify or make advances to a person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if the proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by B&W's board of directors. These rights are
not exclusive of any other right that any person may have or may acquire under any statute, provision of B&W's certificate of incorporation, bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. No amendment,
modification or repeal
2
of those provisions will in any way adversely affect any right or protection under those provisions of any person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment,
modification or repeal.
B&W's bylaws also permit B&W to secure and maintain insurance on behalf of any of its directors,
officers, employees or agents and each person who is, or was, serving at B&W's request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust or other enterprise for
any liability asserted against and incurred by such person in any such capacity. B&W intends to obtain directors' and officers' liability insurance providing coverage to its directors and officers.
Director and Officer Indemnification Agreements
B&W has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers that require it to indemnify such persons
to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, from claims and losses arising from their service to B&W (other than certain claims brought by the indemnified party against B&W or any of B&W's officers and directors). The
agreements also provide each indemnified person with expense advancement to the extent the expenses arise from, or might reasonably be expected to arise from, an indemnifiable claim and contain additional terms meant to facilitate a determination of
the indemnified person's entitlement to such benefits.

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 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. 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) under the Securities Act 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; 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 the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above 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 this 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 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 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 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
4
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.
