<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Item&nbsp;6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware.
Section&nbsp;145 (&#147;Section&nbsp;145&#148;) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended
(the &#147;DGCL&#148;), permits indemnification of directors, officers, agents and
controlling persons of a corporation under certain conditions and subject to
certain limitations. Article&nbsp;Six of the Registrant&#146;s Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and Article&nbsp;VII of the Registrant&#146;s Bylaws provide for the
indemnification of directors, officers and other authorized representatives of
the Registrant to the maximum extent permitted by the DGCL. Section&nbsp;145
empowers a corporation to 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, by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer or agent of the
corporation or another enterprise if serving at the request of the corporation.
Depending on the character of the proceeding, a corporation may indemnify
against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action,
suit or proceeding if the

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">person indemnified acted in good faith and in a manner he 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 conduct was unlawful. In the case of an action by or in the right
of the corporation, no indemnification may be made with respect to any claim,
issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable
to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of
Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine
that despite the adjudication of liability such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.
Section&nbsp;145 further provides that to the extent a director or officer of a
corporation has been successful in the defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to above or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter
therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s Bylaws permit it to purchase insurance on behalf of any
such person against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in
any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the
Registrant would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under
the foregoing provision of the Bylaws.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant has entered into certain indemnification agreements with
each of its directors (the &#147;Indemnification Agreements&#148;), which were ratified
by the Registrant&#146;s stockholders. Each Indemnification Agreement provides that
the Registrant indemnify the indemitee to the fullest extent permitted under
applicable law against all expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with
any threatened, pending or completed legal action or proceeding resulting from
the indemnitee&#146;s status as a director, officer, agent or employee of the
Registrant or its subsidiaries. No amounts will be paid to the extent that
such expenses are covered by directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance
purchased by the Registrant. Additionally, no amounts may be paid on account
of conduct by the indemnitee as to which it is established by a judgment or
other final adjudication adverse to the indemnitee (i)&nbsp;that the indemnitee
acted in bad faith and in a manner he did not reasonably believe to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant and (ii)&nbsp;with respect to
any criminal proceedings, that the indemnitee had no reasonable cause to
believe his conduct was unlawful.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act, may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the
Registrant as disclosed above, the Registrant has been informed that in the
opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

    <TD>Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 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 Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.</TD>

REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

All reports and other documents subsequently filed by the Registrant or

Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be

for purposes hereof to the extent that a statement contained 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 hereof.
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 Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended
(the "DGCL"), permits indemnification of directors, officers, agents and
controlling persons of a corporation under certain conditions and subject to
certain limitations. Article Six of the Registrant's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and Article VII of the Registrant's Bylaws provide for the
indemnification of directors, officers and other authorized representatives of
the Registrant to the maximum extent permitted by the DGCL. Section 145
empowers a corporation to 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, by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer or agent of the
corporation or another enterprise if serving at the request of the corporation.
Depending on the character of the proceeding, a corporation may indemnify
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action,
suit or proceeding if the
1
Table of Contents
person indemnified acted in good faith and in a manner he 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 conduct was unlawful. In the case of an action by or in the right
of the corporation, no indemnification may be made with respect to any claim,
issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable
to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of
Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine
that despite the adjudication of liability such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.
Section 145 further provides that to the extent a director or officer of a
corporation has been successful in the defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to above or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter
therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.
The Registrant's Bylaws permit it to purchase insurance on behalf of any
such person against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in
any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the
Registrant would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under
the foregoing provision of the Bylaws.
The Registrant has entered into certain indemnification agreements with
each of its directors (the "Indemnification Agreements"), which were ratified
by the Registrant's stockholders. Each Indemnification Agreement provides that
the Registrant indemnify the indemitee to the fullest extent permitted under
applicable law against all expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with
any threatened, pending or completed legal action or proceeding resulting from
the indemnitee's status as a director, officer, agent or employee of the
Registrant or its subsidiaries. No amounts will be paid to the extent that
such expenses are covered by directors' and officers' liability insurance
purchased by the Registrant. Additionally, no amounts may be paid on account
of conduct by the indemnitee as to which it is established by a judgment or
other final adjudication adverse to the indemnitee (i) that the indemnitee
acted in bad faith and in a manner he did not reasonably believe to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant and (ii) with respect to
any criminal proceedings, that the indemnitee had no reasonable cause to
believe his conduct was unlawful.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act, may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the
Registrant as disclosed above, the Registrant has been informed that in the
opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
See Exhibit Index.
Undertaking regarding Status of Favorable Determination Letter.
The Registrant has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS
concerning the qualification of the Tufco Technologies, Inc. Profit Sharing
Savings and Investment Plan and the Registrant will submit any amendment to the
Plan to the IRS in a timely manner and has made or will make all changes
required by the IRS to maintain the qualification of the Plan.
Item 9. Undertakings.
1. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes as follows:
2
Table of Contents
(a) 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.
(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.
(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 (1)(a)(i) and (1)(a)(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.
(b) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, 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.
(c) 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.
2. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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.
3.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 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 Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
