Huffy Corporation (the "Registrant") hereby states that the

reference in this Registration Statement, and further states that
all documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Registrant's amended Code of Regulations provides that the
Registrant shall indemnify each director, officer, employee or agent
of the Registrant to the full extent permitted by Ohio law.
In general, under Section 1701.13(E) of the Ohio Revised Code, an
Ohio corporation is permitted to indemnify its present or former
officers, directors, employees and agents against liabilities and
expenses incurred by such persons in their capacities as such so
long as they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
if they had no reasonable cause to believe that their conduct was
unlawful, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of
any claim, issue or matter to which a person is adjudged liable to
the corporation unless the court in which the action was brought
determines, upon application, that such person is entitled to
indemnity. Any indemnification provided for by law may be made by
a corporation upon a determination by (a) a majority vote of a
quorum of directors who are not parties to such suit or action, (b)
independent legal counsel, if no quorum of directors who are not
parties to the suit or action is available or (c) the shareholders
that the person seeking indemnification has met the applicable
statutory standard of conduct. The statute also provides that an
Ohio corporation may advance attorneys' fees incurred by directors
and officers, employees, agents and others prior to the final
outcome of a matter.
In addition, the Registrant has purchased insurance policies which
provide coverage for the acts and omissions of the Registrant's
directors and officers in certain situations.

Item 9. Undertakings.
A. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
i. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement 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.
ii. 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.
iii. 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 (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange 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 be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
C. 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 Securities and Exchange 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 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.
