reasonably incurred by such person.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;1744 of the PBCL provides that any indemnification made under Sections&nbsp;1741 or
1742 shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination
that indemnification of the representative is proper in the circumstances because such person has
met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in those sections. Such determination shall be
made (i)&nbsp;by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were
not parties to the action or proceeding, (ii)&nbsp;if such quorum is not obtainable or if obtainable and
a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in
a written option, or (iii)&nbsp;by the shareholders of the corporation.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;1745 of the PBCL states that expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) incurred in
defending any action or proceeding referred to in Subchapter D of the PBCL may be paid by a
business corporation in advance of the final disposition of the action or proceeding upon receipt
of an undertaking by or on behalf of the representative to repay the amount if it is ultimately
determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized by
Subchapter D of the PBCL or otherwise. Except as otherwise provided in the corporation&#146;s bylaws,
advancement of expenses must be authorized by the board of directors of the corporation and Section
1728 (relating to interested directors or officers; quorum) and Section&nbsp;2538 (relating to approval
of transactions with interested shareholders) shall not be applicable to the advancement of
expenses under this section.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;1746 of the PBCL provides that indemnification and advancement of expenses provided
by, or granted pursuant to, the other sections of Subchapter D of the PBCL shall not be deemed
exclusive of other rights that a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may have
under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as
to action in such person&#146;s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding
that office. Section&nbsp;1728 (relating to interested directors or officers; quorum) shall be
applicable to any bylaw, contract or transaction authorized by directors under Section&nbsp;1746.
Section&nbsp;1746 prohibits indemnification in circumstances where the act or failure to act giving rise
to the claim for indemnification is determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct or
recklessness.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;1747 of the PBCL permits a corporation, unless otherwise restricted in its
bylaws, to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a representative
of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a representative of
another enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by him or her
in that capacity, or arising out of such person&#146;s status as such, whether or not the corporation
would have the power to indemnify the person against that liability under Subchapter D of the PBCL.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kennametal&#146;s Bylaws provide that it is obligated to indemnify directors, officers and
other persons designated by the Board of Directors against all reasonable expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees) and any liability and loss, including judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or
penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement incurred or paid by such person in
connection with any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative and whether or not by or in the right of the Corporation or otherwise. The Bylaws
provide that no indemnification shall be made where the act or failure to act giving rise to the
claim for indemnification is determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct or
recklessness or where the proceeding has been initiated by the person seeking indemnification and
was not pre-authorized by the Board of Directors (except in the case where the person is bringing
suit against the Corporation to enforce such person&#146;s right to indemnification). The Bylaws provide
that to the extent required by law, the payment of expenses incurred by an officer or director in
advance of the final disposition of a proceeding may only be made upon receipt of an undertaking by
or on behalf of such person to repay all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined that
such person is not entitled to be indemnified. The Bylaws also state that the right to
indemnification, including the right to advancement of expenses, is a contract right which will
continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer or trustee, and inure to the
benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As permitted by PBCL Section&nbsp;1713, Kennametal&#146;s Bylaws provide that directors generally
will not be liable for monetary damages for any action taken or failure to take any action unless
the director has breached or failed to perform their duties as fiduciaries (the standard of care
established by the PBCL), and such failure constitutes self-dealing, willful misconduct or
recklessness; provided, however, that the foregoing provision shall not eliminate or limit the
liability of a director (i)&nbsp;for any responsibility or liability of such director pursuant to any
criminal statute, or (ii)&nbsp;for any liability of a director for the payment of taxes pursuant to
local, State or Federal law.

foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Corporation 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 Corporation of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Corporation 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 Corporation 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.

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Chapter 17, Subchapter D of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988, as amended (the
"PBCL") contains provisions permitting indemnification of certain individuals by a business
corporation incorporated in Pennsylvania. Section 1741 of the PBCL provides that unless otherwise
restricted in its bylaws, a business corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or
is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right
of the corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a representative of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a representative of another
domestic or foreign corporation for profit or not-for-profit, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the action or
proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in, or
not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was unlawful. The termination of any
action or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere
or its equivalent shall
-2-
not of itself create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner
that he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and,
with respect to any criminal proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
unlawful.
Section 1742 of the PBCL further provides that unless otherwise restricted in its bylaws,
a business corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made
a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action by or in the right of the corporation to
procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a representative
of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a representative of
another domestic or foreign corporation for profit or not-for-profit, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of the action if such person
acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to,
the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made under this section in
respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which the person has been adjudged to be liable to the
corporation unless and only to the extent that the court of common pleas of the judicial district
embracing the county in which the registered office of the corporation is located or the court in
which the action was brought determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of
liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for the expenses that the court of common pleas or other court deems proper.
Section 1743 of the PBCL provides that to the extent that a representative of the
corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action or proceeding
contemplated by Sections 1741 and 1742 or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the
corporation must indemnify such person against expenses (including attorney fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by such person.
Section 1744 of the PBCL provides that any indemnification made under Sections 1741 or
1742 shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination
that indemnification of the representative is proper in the circumstances because such person has
met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in those sections. Such determination shall be
made (i) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were
not parties to the action or proceeding, (ii) if such quorum is not obtainable or if obtainable and
a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in
a written option, or (iii) by the shareholders of the corporation.
Section 1745 of the PBCL states that expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in
defending any action or proceeding referred to in Subchapter D of the PBCL may be paid by a
business corporation in advance of the final disposition of the action or proceeding upon receipt
of an undertaking by or on behalf of the representative to repay the amount if it is ultimately
determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized by
Subchapter D of the PBCL or otherwise. Except as otherwise provided in the corporation's bylaws,
advancement of expenses must be authorized by the board of directors of the corporation and Section
1728 (relating to interested directors or officers; quorum) and Section 2538 (relating to approval
of transactions with interested shareholders) shall not be applicable to the advancement of
expenses under this section.
Section 1746 of the PBCL provides that indemnification and advancement of expenses provided
by, or granted pursuant to, the other sections of Subchapter D of the PBCL shall not be deemed
exclusive of other rights that a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may have
under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as
to action in such person's official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding
that office. Section 1728 (relating to interested directors or officers; quorum) shall be
applicable to any bylaw, contract or transaction authorized by directors under Section 1746.
Section 1746 prohibits indemnification in circumstances where the act or failure to act giving rise
to the claim for indemnification is determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct or
recklessness.
Section 1747 of the PBCL permits a corporation, unless otherwise restricted in its
bylaws, to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a representative
of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a representative of
another enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by him or her
in that capacity, or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or not the corporation
would have the power to indemnify the person against that liability under Subchapter D of the PBCL.
-3-
Kennametal's Bylaws provide that it is obligated to indemnify directors, officers and
other persons designated by the Board of Directors against all reasonable expenses (including
attorneys' fees) and any liability and loss, including judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or
penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement incurred or paid by such person in
connection with any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative and whether or not by or in the right of the Corporation or otherwise. The Bylaws
provide that no indemnification shall be made where the act or failure to act giving rise to the
claim for indemnification is determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct or
recklessness or where the proceeding has been initiated by the person seeking indemnification and
was not pre-authorized by the Board of Directors (except in the case where the person is bringing
suit against the Corporation to enforce such person's right to indemnification). The Bylaws provide
that to the extent required by law, the payment of expenses incurred by an officer or director in
advance of the final disposition of a proceeding may only be made upon receipt of an undertaking by
or on behalf of such person to repay all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined that
such person is not entitled to be indemnified. The Bylaws also state that the right to
indemnification, including the right to advancement of expenses, is a contract right which will
continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer or trustee, and inure to the
benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.
As permitted by PBCL Section 1713, Kennametal's Bylaws provide that directors generally
will not be liable for monetary damages for any action taken or failure to take any action unless
the director has breached or failed to perform their duties as fiduciaries (the standard of care
established by the PBCL), and such failure constitutes self-dealing, willful misconduct or
recklessness; provided, however, that the foregoing provision shall not eliminate or limit the
liability of a director (i) for any responsibility or liability of such director pursuant to any
criminal statute, or (ii) for any liability of a director for the payment of taxes pursuant to
local, State or Federal law.

Item 9. Undertakings.
The Corporation hereby undertakes:
(a) (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; 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 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 reports filed by or furnished to the Commission by the Corporation 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) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of
the Corporation'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
-5-
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 Corporation pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Corporation 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 Corporation of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Corporation 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 Corporation 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.
