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



<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Directors and officers of the Company may be indemnified by the Company against certain
actions pursuant to the Connecticut Business Corporation Act (the &#147;CBCA&#148;). A charter amendment was
approved by the Company&#146;s shareholders on May&nbsp;4, 1998 providing enhanced indemnification of
directors and officers of the Company and providing for indemnification of employees and agents of
the Company in certain circumstances, both as authorized by the CBCA effective January&nbsp;1, 1997.
The Company&#146;s charter, as amended, affords to directors and officers the right to be indemnified
&#147;to the fullest extent permitted by law.&#148; This right means that a director or officer will be
indemnified against expenses and liabilities incurred in
connection with any applicable proceeding so long as his or her conduct did not (i)&nbsp;involve a
knowing and culpable violation of law by such person, (ii)&nbsp;enable such person or an associate, as
defined in Section&nbsp;33-840 of the CBCA, to receive an improper personal economic gain, (iii)&nbsp;show a
lack of good faith and a conscious disregard for the duty of such person to the Company under
circumstances in which such person was aware that his or her conduct or omission created an
unjustifiable risk of serious injury to the Company, (iv)&nbsp;constitute a sustained and unexcused
pattern of inattention that amounted to an abdication of such person&#146;s duty to the Company, or (v)
create liability under Section&nbsp;33-757 (liability for unlawful distributions) of the CBCA. The
Company&#146;s charter, as amended, also obligates the Company to advance the expenses of a director or
officer so long as the director or officer promises to repay the advance if it is later determined
that he or she is not entitled to indemnification by the Company.</DIV>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company has in effect liability insurance policies covering certain claims against any of
its officers or directors by reason of certain breaches of duty, neglect, error, misstatement,
omission or other act committed or alleged to have been committed by such person in his or her
capacity as officer or director.

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") since the end of the Company's
fiscal year ended December 31, 2004; and

respectively.
All reports and other documents filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Sections

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
The legality of the shares of Class B Common Stock offered hereby has been passed upon by
Richard W. Davies, Esq., Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of the Company. Mr. Davies
is also an officer and/or director of each of the Company's
domestic subsidiaries. As of June 14,
2005, Mr. Davies is the record and beneficial owner of 24,394 shares of the Company's Class A
Common Stock and 33,199 shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock, and also is eligible to
exercise options within sixty days of June 14, 2005 to purchase 142,666 shares of Class B Common
Stock by the exercise of stock options pursuant to the Company's Stock Option Plan for Key
Employees. Mr. Davies is eligible to receive grants of awards under the Company's 2005 Incentive
Award Plan.
Mr. Davies is a co-Trustee with shared voting and investment power with respect to (a)
2,452,360 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock owned by the Louie E. Roche Trust; (b)
1,664,315 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock owned by the Harvey Hubbell Trust; and (c)
106,304 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock and 29,358 shares of the Company's Stock held
by The Harvey Hubbell Foundation.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Directors and officers of the Company may be indemnified by the Company against certain
actions pursuant to the Connecticut Business Corporation Act (the "CBCA"). A charter amendment was
approved by the Company's shareholders on May 4, 1998 providing enhanced indemnification of
directors and officers of the Company and providing for indemnification of employees and agents of
the Company in certain circumstances, both as authorized by the CBCA effective January 1, 1997.
The Company's charter, as amended, affords to directors and officers the right to be indemnified
"to the fullest extent permitted by law." This right means that a director or officer will be
indemnified against expenses and liabilities incurred in
connection with any applicable proceeding so long as his or her conduct did not (i) involve a
knowing and culpable violation of law by such person, (ii) enable such person or an associate, as
defined in Section 33-840 of the CBCA, to receive an improper personal economic gain, (iii) show a
lack of good faith and a conscious disregard for the duty of such person to the Company under
circumstances in which such person was aware that his or her conduct or omission created an
unjustifiable risk of serious injury to the Company, (iv) constitute a sustained and unexcused
pattern of inattention that amounted to an abdication of such person's duty to the Company, or (v)
create liability under Section 33-757 (liability for unlawful distributions) of the CBCA. The
Company's charter, as amended, also obligates the Company to advance the expenses of a director or
officer so long as the director or officer promises to repay the advance if it is later determined
that he or she is not entitled to indemnification by the Company.
The Company has in effect liability insurance policies covering certain claims against any of
its officers or directors by reason of certain breaches of duty, neglect, error, misstatement,
omission or other act committed or alleged to have been committed by such person in his or her
capacity as officer or director.

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 "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 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 (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) shall not apply to information
contained in periodic reports filed 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
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.

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 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 herein, 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 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 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
