All documents subsequently filed by us pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the

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 Restated and Amended Articles of Incorporation of KMG Chemicals, Inc. (the "Company")
limit the liability of directors to the fullest extent permitted by the Section 7.001 of the Texas
Business Organizations Code (the "TBOC"). Specifically, directors of the Company shall not be
liable except for:
•
a breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its shareholders;
•
an act or omission not in good faith that constitutes a breach of duty of the
director to the Company or an act or omission that involves intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of the law;
•
a transaction from which the director received an improper benefit, whether or not
the benefit resulted from an action taken within the scope of the director's office; or
•
an act or omission for which the liability of the director is expressly provided by
an applicable statute.
The inclusion of this provision in the Restated and Amended Articles of Incorporation may have
the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and may discourage
or deter shareholders or management from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their
duty of care, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise have benefited the Company
and its shareholders.
Section 8.051 of the TBOC states that an enterprise shall indemnify a governing person, former
governing person, or delegate against reasonable expenses actually incurred by the person in
connection with a proceeding in which the person is a respondent because the person is or was a
governing person or delegate if the person is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the
defense of the proceeding. Section 8.101 of the TBOC states that an enterprise may indemnify a
governing person, former governing person, or delegate who was, is, or is threatened to be made a
respondent in a proceeding to the extent permitted by Section 8.102 of the TBOC if it is determined
in accordance with Section 8.103 of the TBOC that: (1) the person: (A) acted in good faith; (B)
reasonably believed: (i) in the case of conduct in the person's official capacity, that the
person's conduct was in the enterprise's best interests; and (ii) in any other case, that the
person's conduct was not opposed to the enterprise's best interests; and (C) in the case of a
criminal proceeding, did not have a reasonable cause to believe the person's conduct was unlawful;
(2) with respect to expenses, the amount of expenses other than a judgment is reasonable; and (3)
indemnification should be paid.
The Company's Bylaws also provide for indemnification of its officers and directors, and the
advancement to them of expenses in connection with proceedings and claims, to the fullest extent
permitted under the TBCA.
Texas law permits a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance or another arrangement on
behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer against any liability asserted against him
and incurred by him in such a capacity or arising out of his status as such a person, whether or
not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against that liability under Article 8 of
the TBOC. The Company maintains directors' and officers'
liability insurance policies to cover certain liabilities of directors and officers arising out of
claims based on certain acts or omissions by them in their capacity as directors or officers.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) We hereby undertake:
(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 a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) 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;
(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) do not apply if the registration
statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3 and 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 us pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement.

Table of Contents
(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.
(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) We hereby undertake that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each filing of our 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.
(h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person 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, we will, unless in the opinion of our
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
