OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS</font></b></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:72.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Delaware law and the Company&#146;s certificate of incorporation provide
that the Company will, under certain situations, indemnify any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Company made or threatened to be made a party
to a proceeding, by reason of the former or present official capacity of the
person, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable
expenses, including attorney&#146;s fees, incurred by the person in connection with
the proceeding if certain statutory standards are met. Any person is also
entitled, subject to certain limitations, to payment or reimbursement of
reasonable expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding. A
proceeding means a threatened, pending or completed civil, criminal,
administrative, arbitration or investigative proceeding, including one by or in
the right of the Company. Reference is made to Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law for a full statement of these indemnification rights.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:72.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Polypore,&nbsp;Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, has entered into
director and officer indemnification agreements with certain of the Company&#146;s
directors and officers. The indemnification agreements provide that
Polypore,&nbsp;Inc. will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the indemnitees,
to the fullest extent permitted or required by the laws of the State of
Delaware, against any and all claims based upon, arising out of or resulting
from (i)&nbsp;any actual, alleged or suspected act or failure to act by the
indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of
Polypore,&nbsp;Inc. or as a director, officer, employee, member, manager,
trustee or agent of any other corporation, limited liability company,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other entity or enterprise, whether or not
for profit, as to which the indemnitee is or was serving at the request of
Polypore,&nbsp;Inc.; (ii)&nbsp;any actual, alleged or suspected act or failure
to act by the indemnitee in respect of any business, transaction,
communication, filing, disclosure or other activity of Polypore,&nbsp;Inc. or
any other entity or enterprise referred to in clause&nbsp;(i) above;
or&nbsp;(iii) the indemnitee&#146;s status as a current or former director, officer,
employee or agent of Polypore,&nbsp;Inc. or as a current or former director,
officer, employee, member, manager, trustee or agent of Polypore,&nbsp;Inc. or
any other entity or enterprise referred to in clause&nbsp;(i) above or any
actual, alleged or suspected act or failure to act by the indemnitee in
connection with any obligation or restriction imposed upon the indemnitee by
reason of such status. The indemnification agreements provide that the
indemnitee shall have the right to advancement by Polypore,&nbsp;Inc. prior to
the final disposition of any indemnifiable claim of any and all actual and
reasonable expenses relating to, arising out of or resulting from any
indemnifiable claim paid or incurred by the indemnitee. For the duration of an
indemnitee&#146;s service as a director and/or officer of Polypore,&nbsp;Inc. and
for a reasonable period of time thereafter, which such period may be determined
by Polypore,&nbsp;Inc. in its sole discretion, Polypore,&nbsp;Inc. is obligated
to use commercially reasonable efforts (taking into account the scope and
amount of coverage available relative to the cost thereof) to cause to be maintained
in effect policies of directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance providing
coverage for directors and/or officers of Polypore,&nbsp;Inc. that is
substantially comparable in scope and amount to that provided by
Polypore,&nbsp;Inc.&#146;s current policies of directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability
insurance.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:72.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company also maintains a directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability
insurance policy pursuant to which the Company&#146;s directors and officers are
insured against liability for actions in their capacity as directors and
officers.</font></p>

incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company 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

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.</font></p>

OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
Inapplicable.
Item 6.                    INDEMNIFICATION
OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Delaware law and the Company's certificate of incorporation provide
that the Company will, under certain situations, indemnify any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Company made or threatened to be made a party
to a proceeding, by reason of the former or present official capacity of the
person, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable
expenses, including attorney's fees, incurred by the person in connection with
the proceeding if certain statutory standards are met. Any person is also
entitled, subject to certain limitations, to payment or reimbursement of
reasonable expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding. A
proceeding means a threatened, pending or completed civil, criminal,
administrative, arbitration or investigative proceeding, including one by or in
the right of the Company. Reference is made to Section 145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law for a full statement of these indemnification rights.
Polypore, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, has entered into
director and officer indemnification agreements with certain of the Company's
directors and officers. The indemnification agreements provide that
Polypore, Inc. will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the indemnitees,
to the fullest extent permitted or required by the laws of the State of
Delaware, against any and all claims based upon, arising out of or resulting
from (i) any actual, alleged or suspected act or failure to act by the
indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of
Polypore, Inc. or as a director, officer, employee, member, manager,
trustee or agent of any other corporation, limited liability company,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other entity or enterprise, whether or not
for profit, as to which the indemnitee is or was serving at the request of
Polypore, Inc.; (ii) any actual, alleged or suspected act or failure
to act by the indemnitee in respect of any business, transaction,
communication, filing, disclosure or other activity of Polypore, Inc. or
any other entity or enterprise referred to in clause (i) above;
or (iii) the indemnitee's status as a current or former director, officer,
employee or agent of Polypore, Inc. or as a current or former director,
officer, employee, member, manager, trustee or agent of Polypore, Inc. or
any other entity or enterprise referred to in clause (i) above or any
actual, alleged or suspected act or failure to act by the indemnitee in
connection with any obligation or restriction imposed upon the indemnitee by
reason of such status. The indemnification agreements provide that the
indemnitee shall have the right to advancement by Polypore, Inc. prior to
the final disposition of any indemnifiable claim of any and all actual and
reasonable expenses relating to, arising out of or resulting from any
indemnifiable claim paid or incurred by the indemnitee. For the duration of an
indemnitee's service as a director and/or officer of Polypore, Inc. and
for a reasonable period of time thereafter, which such period may be determined
by Polypore, Inc. in its sole discretion, Polypore, Inc. is obligated
to use commercially reasonable efforts (taking into account the scope and
amount of coverage available relative to the cost thereof) to cause to be maintained
in effect policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance providing
coverage for directors and/or officers of Polypore, Inc. that is
substantially comparable in scope and amount to that provided by
Polypore, Inc.'s current policies of directors' and officers' liability

UNDERTAKINGS
1.  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)           To file, during any period in which
offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to the 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 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 by the Company 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, 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, each filing of the Company's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act 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 may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Company 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 Company of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company 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 Company 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.
