Item
        6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Pursuant to Article IX of the Certificate of Incorporation of Valmont,
        Valmont shall, to the extent required, and may, to the extent permitted, by Section 102 and
        Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended from time
        to time, indemnify and reimburse all persons whom it may indemnify and reimburse pursuant
        thereto. No director shall be liable to Valmont or its stockholders for monetary damages
        for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. A director shall continue to be liable for (1)
        any breach of a director's duty of loyalty to Valmont or its stockholders; (2) acts or
        omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation
        of law; (3) paying a dividend or approving a stock repurchase which would violate Section
        174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware; or (4) any transaction from
        which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
The by-laws of Valmont provide for indemnification of Valmont officers and
        directors against all expenses, liabilities or losses reasonably incurred or suffered by
        the officer or director, including liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933, to
        the extent legally permissible under Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the
        State of Delaware where any such person was, is, or is threatened to be made a party to or
        is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
        investigative, by reason of the fact such person was serving Valmont in such capacity.
        Generally, under Delaware law, indemnification will only be available where an officer or
        director can establish that 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 Valmont.
Valmont also maintains a director and officer insurance policy which insures
        the officers and directors of Valmont and its subsidiaries against damages, judgments,
        settlements and costs incurred by reason of certain wrongful acts committed by such persons
        in their capacities as officers and directors.

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;
(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
                        decreased in the 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
                        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; and
(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 paragraph (a)(1)(i) and (a)(ii) of this section 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 periodic reports
        filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
        Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in
        the registration statement.
(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)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for
                        purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
                        each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
                        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 he 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 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 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 of 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.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant
        certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all the requirements for
        filing on Form S-8, and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its
        behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Omaha, State of
        Nebraska, on May 9, 2008.
