INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
ITEM 3. INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.
The following document filed by the Registrant with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), is incorporated by reference into
this Registration Statement:
The registration statement on Form 10 (File No. 1-15313), as amended.
The description of the Registrant's Common Stock is contained in the Form
10 under the heading "Description of Huttig Capital Stock."
All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant with the Commission
pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act after
the date of this Registration Statement, but prior to the filing of a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement which indicates that
all securities offered by this Registration Statement have been sold or
which deregisters all such securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed
to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement. Each
document incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement shall be
deemed to be a part of this Registration Statement from the date of filing
of such document with the Commission until the information contained therein
is superseded or updated by any subsequently filed document which is
incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement or by any
document which constitutes part of the prospectus relating to the Huttig
Building Products, Inc. Savings and Profit Sharing Plan meeting the
requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act.
ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
The class of securities to be offered under this Registration Statement is
registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
None.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") permits Delaware
corporations to eliminate or limit the monetary liability of directors for
breach of their fiduciary duty of care, subject to certain limitations. The
Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that no director of
the Company shall be liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i)
for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its
stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for willful or
negligent violation of the laws governing the payment of dividends or the
purchase or redemption of stock or (iv) for any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit.
II-1
<PAGE>
The Company's By-laws provide for the indemnification of directors and
officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. Section 145 of the
DGCL authorizes indemnification when a person is made a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any proceeding by reason of the fact that
such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation or is or was serving as a director, officer, employee or agent
of another enterprise, at the request of the corporation, and if such person
acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed by him or her to be
in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation. With respect
to any criminal proceeding, such person must have had no reasonable cause to
believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If it is determined that the
conduct of such person meets these standards, he or she may be indemnified
for expenses incurred (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in
connection with such proceeding.
If such a proceeding is brought by or in the right of the corporation
(i.e., a derivative suit), such person may be indemnified against expenses
actually and reasonably incurred if he or she acted in good faith and in a
manner reasonably believed by him or her to be in, or not opposed to, the
best interests of the corporation. There can be no indemnification with
respect to any matter as to which such person is adjudged to be liable to
the corporation; however, a court may, even in such case, allow such
indemnification to such person for such expenses as the court deems proper.
Where such person is successful in any such proceeding, he or she is
entitled to be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred
by him or her. In all other cases, indemnification is made by the
corporation upon determination by it that indemnification of such person is
proper because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct.
The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its
directors and certain executive officers, and also maintains insurance for
the benefit of its officers and directors.

23.3 Consent of Ernst & Young LLP (filed herewith).
23.4 Consent of Kirkpatrick & Lockhart LLP (included in the Opinion

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to submit the Plan and
any amendment thereto to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") in a timely
manner and has made or will make all changes required by the IRS in order
to qualify the Plan.
ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers of 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;
(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;
(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
II-3
<PAGE>
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.
* * *
(h) 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.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are counsel to Huttig Building Products, Inc. (the "Company") and we
have acted as counsel for the Company in connection with the preparation of the
Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be filed by the Company with the
