proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. In the case of an action by or in the right of the corporation, such indemnification is limited to expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless, and only
to the extent that, a court determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for the expenses that the court deems proper. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">BCL Section&nbsp;1744 provides that, unless ordered by a court, any indemnification referred to above shall be made by the corporation only as
authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct. Such determination shall be made: </P>

and any liability and loss, including judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement incurred or paid by such person in connection with any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative and whether or not by or in the right of the Corporation or otherwise, by reason of the fact that such person was an officer or director of Kennametal or served in certain other capacities. The Bylaws provide that no
indemnification shall be made where the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct or recklessness or where the proceeding has been initiated by the person
seeking indemnification and was not <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-authorized</FONT> by the Board of Directors (except in the case where the person successfully, in whole or in part, brings suit against the Corporation to enforce such
person&#146;s right to indemnification). The Bylaws provide that to the extent required by law, the payment of expenses incurred by an officer or director in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an
undertaking, by or on behalf of such person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified. The Bylaws also state that the right to indemnification, including the right to
advancement of expenses, is a contract right which will continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer or trustee, and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As permitted by BCL Section&nbsp;1713, Kennametal&#146;s Bylaws provide that directors generally will not be personally liable for monetary
damages for any action taken or failure to take any action unless the director has breached or failed to perform his or her duty as a fiduciary (the standard of care established by the BCL), and such failure constitutes self-dealing, willful
misconduct or recklessness; provided, however, that the foregoing provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i)&nbsp;for any responsibility or liability of such director pursuant to any criminal statute, or (ii)&nbsp;for any
liability of a director for the payment of taxes pursuant to local, State or Federal law. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">3. <I>Director and Officer Liability

provides similar rights to indemnification against liability and expenses as are provided in the Indemnification Bylaws. In addition, the form of agreement provides that Kennametal will pay expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) incurred or
estimated to be incurred by an indemnitee in connection with a threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition provided the indemnitee agrees to repay to Kennametal the amount of such expenses that it
is ultimately determined the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the form of agreement, Kennametal represents that it
has directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance in place and agrees to purchase and maintain such insurance, in such amount as is deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors, during the term of the officers service to Kennametal and
thereafter (but in no event longer than four&nbsp;years) so long as indemnitee is subject to any possible claim or threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, by reason of the indemnitees service to Kennametal. The indemnification
provided under the form of agreement is not exclusive of any other rights and the indemnification rights provided under the form of agreement are independent of the rights to indemnification provided by the Indemnification Bylaws. </P>
