<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Item&nbsp;6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides that a
corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation
and certain other persons serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities against
amounts paid and expenses incurred in connection with an action or proceeding to which he is, or is
threatened to be made, a party by reason of such position, if such person shall have 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, in any criminal proceeding, if such person had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful; provided that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the
corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as to which such person
shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the
adjudicating court determines that such indemnification is proper under the circumstances.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the personal monetary liability of a
director to the Registrant and its stockholders for breach of his or her fiduciary duty of care as
a director to the extent currently allowed under the Delaware General Corporation Law. Article&nbsp;XVII
of the Registrant&#146;s Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director of the
Registrant shall not be personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i)&nbsp;for any breach of the
director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;based on
the payment of an improper dividend or an improper repurchase of the Registrant&#146;s stock under
Section&nbsp;174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction
from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Bylaws of the Registrant provide that, under certain circumstances, the Registrant is
required to indemnify any person who was, is, or is threatened to be made a party in any action,
suit or proceeding because such person is or was a director or officer of the Registrant. The
Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Bylaws were amended in February&nbsp;1987 to provide for
indemnification by the Registrant of its officers and directors to the fullest extent authorized by
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. This right to indemnification under the
Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Bylaws is a contract right, and requires the Registrant to
provide for the payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of any suit or proceeding
brought against the director or officer of the Registrant in his official capacity as such,
provided that such director or officer delivers to the Registrant an undertaking to repay any
amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that such director or officer is not entitled to
indemnification. The Registrant also maintains a directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance
policy.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&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 pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise, 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.

indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant and
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,

such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be

Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents, which were filed by Quanex Building Products Corporation ("Quanex" or
the "Registrant") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), and any future
filings made by Quanex with the Commission under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), prior to the filing of a
post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which
deregisters all securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in
this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents:
1. Registration Statement on Form 10, first filed with the Commission on January
11, 2008, and declared effective by the Commission on April 9, 2008;
2. The description of Quanex's common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the
"Common Stock"), contained in the Information Statement dated April 23, 2008, included in the
Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 10 (Registration No. 1-33913) and filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act").
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides that a
corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation
and certain other persons serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities against
amounts paid and expenses incurred in connection with an action or proceeding to which he is, or is
threatened to be made, a party by reason of such position, if such person shall have 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, in any criminal proceeding, if such person had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful; provided that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the
corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as to which such person
shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the
adjudicating court determines that such indemnification is proper under the circumstances.
The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the personal monetary liability of a
director to the Registrant and its stockholders for breach of his or her fiduciary duty of care as
a director to the extent currently allowed under the Delaware General Corporation Law. Article XVII
of the Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director of the
Registrant shall not be personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) based on
the payment of an improper dividend or an improper repurchase of the Registrant's stock under
Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or (iv) for any transaction
from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
The Bylaws of the Registrant provide that, under certain circumstances, the Registrant is
required to indemnify any person who was, is, or is threatened to be made a party in any action,
suit or proceeding because such person is or was a director or officer of the Registrant. The
Registrant's Amended and Restated Bylaws were amended in February 1987 to provide for
indemnification by the Registrant of its officers and directors to the fullest extent authorized by
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. This right to indemnification under the
Registrant's Amended and Restated Bylaws is a contract right, and requires the Registrant to
provide for the payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of any suit or proceeding
brought against the director or officer of the Registrant in his official capacity as such,
provided that such director or officer delivers to the Registrant an undertaking to repay any
amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that such director or officer is not entitled to
indemnification. The Registrant also maintains a directors' and officers' liability insurance
policy.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted
to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise, 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 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;
(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 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) 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:
(A) Paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the registration
statement is on Form S-8 (§239.16b of this chapter), and the information required to be included
in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or
furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78m or 78o(d)) that are incorporated by reference in
the registration statement; and
(2)
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.
II-2
Table of Contents
(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 of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report
pursuant to Section 13(a) or 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.
(c)
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 and
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 of whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, 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 Houston, State of Texas, on April 23, 2008.
