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; (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; provided, however, that paragraph (A)(1)(i) and (A)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 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.
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 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to 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.

Re: 1995 Stock Incentive Plan
Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for Brush Wellman Inc., an Ohio corporation (the "Company"), in connection with its 1995 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). We have examined such documents, records and matters of law as we have deemed necessary for purposes of this opinion, and based thereon we are of the opinion that the shares of Common Stock of the par value of $1 per share that may be issued or transferred and sold pursuant to the Plan and the agreements contemplated thereby (the "Agreements') are duly authorized and will be, when issued in accordance with the Plan and the Agreements, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, provided that the consideration received by the Company is at least equal to the par value of such shares.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5 to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 being filed by the Company to effect registration of the 750,000 shares of Common Stock to be issued and sold pursuant to the Plan under the Securities Act of 1933.
Very truly yours,
We consent to the incorporation by reference in the Registration Statement (Form S-8) pertaining to the 1995 Stock Incentive Plan of our report dated January 25, 1995, with respect to the consolidated financial statements of Brush Wellman Inc. incorporated by reference in its Annual Report (Form 10-K) for the year ended December 31, 1994 and the related financial statement schedules included therein, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
