corporation by reason of the fact that he or she was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other entity,
against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, provided that
such indemnification will be denied if the individual is found liable to the corporation, unless, in such a case, the court determines the person is nonetheless entitled to indemnification for such expenses. A corporation must indemnify a present or
former director or officer who successfully defends himself or herself in a proceeding to which he or she was a party because he or she was a director or officer of the corporation against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her.
Expenses incurred by a director or officer in defending civil or criminal proceedings may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such proceedings upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer
to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. The Delaware law regarding indemnification and expense advancement is not exclusive of any other rights which may be
granted by CSWI&#146;s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, a vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, agreement or otherwise. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">CSWI&#146;s amended and restated certificate of incorporation requires that CSWI indemnify its directors and officer to the fullest extent
permitted under Delaware law. In addition, CSWI&#146;s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that all reasonable expenses incurred by or on behalf of a director or officer in connection with any investigation, claim, action,
suit or proceeding will be advanced to the director or officer by CSWI upon the request of the director or officer, which request, if required by law, will include an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amounts
advanced if ultimately it is determined that the director or officer was not entitled to be indemnified against the expenses. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The
indemnification rights provided in CSWI&#146;s amended and restated certificate of incorporation will not be exclusive of any other right to which persons seeking indemnification may otherwise be entitled. CSWI entered into indemnification
agreements with each of its directors and officers providing, in general, that CSWI will indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by law in connection with their service to CSWI or on behalf of CSWI. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As permitted by Delaware law, CSWI&#146;s amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes CSWI to purchase and maintain insurance
to protect any director, officer, employee or agent against claims and liabilities that such persons may incur in such capacities. CSWI has purchased director and officer liability insurance. </P>

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Indemnification
Under Delaware law, a
corporation may indemnify any individual who is made a party or threatened to be made a party to any proceeding, other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee
or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other entity, against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred in connection with such proceeding if (1) he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and (2) in the case of a criminal
proceeding, he or she had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. A corporation may indemnify any individual who is made a party or threatened to be made a party to any action or suit brought by or in the right of the
corporation by reason of the fact that he or she was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other entity,
against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, provided that
such indemnification will be denied if the individual is found liable to the corporation, unless, in such a case, the court determines the person is nonetheless entitled to indemnification for such expenses. A corporation must indemnify a present or
former director or officer who successfully defends himself or herself in a proceeding to which he or she was a party because he or she was a director or officer of the corporation against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her.
Expenses incurred by a director or officer in defending civil or criminal proceedings may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such proceedings upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer
to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. The Delaware law regarding indemnification and expense advancement is not exclusive of any other rights which may be
granted by CSWI's certificate of incorporation or bylaws, a vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, agreement or otherwise.
CSWI's amended and restated certificate of incorporation requires that CSWI indemnify its directors and officer to the fullest extent
permitted under Delaware law. In addition, CSWI's amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that all reasonable expenses incurred by or on behalf of a director or officer in connection with any investigation, claim, action,
suit or proceeding will be advanced to the director or officer by CSWI upon the request of the director or officer, which request, if required by law, will include an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amounts
advanced if ultimately it is determined that the director or officer was not entitled to be indemnified against the expenses.
The
indemnification rights provided in CSWI's amended and restated certificate of incorporation will not be exclusive of any other right to which persons seeking indemnification may otherwise be entitled. CSWI entered into indemnification
agreements with each of its directors and officers providing, in general, that CSWI will indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by law in connection with their service to CSWI or on behalf of CSWI.
As permitted by Delaware law, CSWI's amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes CSWI to purchase and maintain insurance
to protect any director, officer, employee or agent against claims and liabilities that such persons may incur in such capacities. CSWI has purchased director and officer liability insurance.
Limitation of Liability
Delaware law
authorizes Delaware corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of their directors to the corporation and its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of a director's fiduciary duty of care, except for liability:
•
for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders;
•
for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
•
for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; and
•
for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
2
CSWI's amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for exculpation of its
directors from liability for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.
The
limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in CSWI's amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws could have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against CSWI's directors and may
discourage or deter CSWI or its stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against CSWI's directors for breach of their duty of care, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise have benefited CSWI and its stockholders. Further, a
stockholder's investment may be adversely affected to the extent that CSWI is required to indemnify its directors and officers against defense costs and the costs of settlements and damage awards.

Item 9. Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(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;
(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. 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
3
pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 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 this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided, however,
that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the
registration statement is on Form S-8 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 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) The undersigned registrant
hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities 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 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 registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant 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 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
