Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Under Article Eight of its Certificate of Incorporation, Alamo Group Inc. is required to indemnify any person who at any time is, or shall have been, a director or officer of Alamo Group Inc. to the full extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as such Section may be amended from time to time. Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware empowers Alamo Group Inc. to indemnify, subject to the standards and limitations set forth therein, any person in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought or threatened by reason of the fact that such person is or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of Alamo Group Inc. or is or was serving in such capacity with respect to another corporation or other enterprise at the request of Alamo Group Inc.

Under Section 1 of Article Six of the Bylaws of Alamo Group Inc., Alamo Group Inc. is required to indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending, or contemplated action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of Alamo Group Inc.), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of Alamo Group Inc., or is or was serving at the request of Alamo Group Inc. as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Alamo Group Inc. and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

Under Section 2 of Article Six of the Bylaws of Alamo Group Inc., Alamo Group Inc. also is required to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or contemplated action or suit by or in the right of Alamo Group Inc. to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of Alamo Group Inc., or is or was serving at the request of Alamo Group Inc. as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interests of Alamo Group Inc., except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to Alamo Group Inc., unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.

Any indemnification under Section 1 or 2 of Article Six of the Bylaws of Alamo Group Inc. shall be made by Alamo Group Inc. only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee, or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct described in such 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 such action, suit, or proceeding, or (ii) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, if a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the stockholders.

Item 9. Undertakings.

1. Item 512(a) of Regulation S-K. 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 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 prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table above; 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 paragraphs (i) and (ii) do not apply if 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 the 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.

2. Item 512(b) of Regulation S-K. 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 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. Item 512(h) of Regulation S-K. 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.
