Exhibit 10(b)(i)

     

     

    KAMAN
CORPORATION

    

    EMPLOYEES
STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

    

    As
Amended through September 23, 2008

    

     

    1. Purpose;
Authorized Shares.  The Kaman Corporation Employees Stock Purchase
Plan (the "Plan") was adopted by the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Kaman
Corporation (the "Corporation") on February 28, 1989 for the purpose of
providing employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries an opportunity to
purchase Kaman Corporation common stock through payroll deductions during
consecutive offerings commencing July 1, 1989.  As of November 18,
1997, One Million Five Hundred Thousand (1,500,000) shares of the Corporation's
common stock in the aggregate including shares previously authorized for
issuance pursuant to the Plan but unissued as of such date were approved for
purposes of the Plan by the Board.  As of December 31, 2007, Four
Hundred Twenty One Thousand Two Hundred Seventy-Seven (421,277) shares of common
stock remained available for purchase under the Plan.

     

    2. Offering
Periods.  Each offering shall be made over a period of one
or  more whole or partial Plan Years as determined by the Committee
(as defined in paragraph 3), provided that in no event shall an offering period
be greater than five (5) Plan Years.

     

    3. Administration.  The
Plan will be administered by a committee (the "Committee") appointed by the
Board, consisting of at least three of its members.  Members of the
Committee shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan.  The
Committee will have authority to make rules and regulations for the
administration of the Plan, and its interpretations and decisions with respect
to the Plan shall be final and conclusive.  Absent some other
provision by the Board, the power and responsibilities of the Committee shall be
vested in and assumed by the Personnel and Compensation Committee of the
Board.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        1

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    4. Eligibility.  All
full-time regular employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, with at
least three (3) months of service as of the effective date of each offering
hereunder, will be eligible to participate in the Plan, subject to such rules as
may be prescribed from time to time by the Committee.  Such rules,
however, shall neither permit nor deny participation in the Plan contrary to the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"),
including, but not limited to, Section 423 thereof, and regulations promulgated
thereunder.  To the extent consistent with Code Section 423, and
regulations promulgated thereunder, the Committee may permit persons who are not
full-time regular employees of the Corporation or one of its subsidiaries at the
commencement of an offering period, or who have not satisfied the aforementioned
three (3) month service requirement at the commencement of an offering period,
to participate in such offering beginning on the date or at a specified date
after such person has been a full-time, regular employee of the Corporation or
one of its subsidiaries for at least three (3) months.  No employee
may be granted a right under the Plan if such employee, immediately after the
right is granted, would own five percent (5%) or more of the total combined
voting power or value of the stock of the Corporation or any
subsidiary.  For purposes of the preceding sentence, the rules of
Section 424(d) of the Code shall apply in determining stock ownership of an
employee, and stock which the employee may purchase under outstanding rights
shall be treated as stock owned by the employee.

     

    5. Participation.  An
eligible employee may begin participation in an offering at any time by
completing and forwarding a payroll deduction authorization form to the
employee's appropriate payroll location.  The form will authorize a
regular payroll deduction from the employee's compensation, and must specify the
date on which such deduction is to commence.  The authorization may
not be retroactive.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        2

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    6. Deductions.  Payroll
deduction accounts will be maintained for all participating
employees.  An employee may authorize a payroll deduction in terms of
dollars and cents per payroll period of not less than $1.00 or more than ten
(10%) percent of the compensation of the employee during any such payroll
period.

     

    7. Deduction
Changes.  An employee may at any time increase or decrease the
employee's payroll deduction by filing a new payroll deduction authorization
form.  The change may not become effective sooner than the next pay
period after receipt of the form.  A payroll deduction may be
increased only twice and may be reduced only twice during any Plan Year of an
offering period, unless any such additional change is required to permit the
purchase of the whole number of shares for which rights have been granted to the
employee under the provisions of paragraph 10.

     

    8. Interest.  Since
the amount of time that the Corporation will be holding funds withheld from
employees' compensation is minimal, no interest will be credited to employees'
accounts.

     

    9. Withdrawal
of Funds.  An employee may at any time and for any reason permanently
withdraw the balance of funds accumulated in the employee's payroll deduction
account, and thereby withdraw from participation in an offering.  Upon
any such withdrawal, the employee shall be entitled to receive in cash the value
of any fractional share (rounded to four decimal places) allocated to such
employee's account determined on the basis of the market value thereof as of the
date of withdrawal.  The employee may thereafter begin participation
again only once during each Plan Year of an offering period.  Partial
withdrawals will  not be permitted.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    10. Purchase
of Shares.  Subject to the payroll deduction limitation set forth in
paragraph 6 and the limitation below, each employee participating in an offering
under this Plan will be granted a right to purchase shares of the Corporation's
common stock which have an aggregate purchase price (determined under paragraph
11) equal to the sum of (a) up to ten percent (10%) of his or her compensation
during each pay period of each offering period in which he or she participates
and (b) any cash dividends reinvested in accordance with paragraph
12.  In no event may an employee be granted a right which permits such
employee's rights to purchase stock under this Plan, and any other stock
purchase plan of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, to accrue at a rate which
exceeds $25,000 of fair market value of stock (determined at the date of grant
of the right) for each calendar year in which the right is outstanding at any
time.  No right may be exercised in any manner other than by payroll
deduction as specified in paragraph 6 or dividend reinvestment as specified in
paragraph 12.

     

    11. Purchase
Price and Payment.  The purchase price to participating employees for
each share of common stock purchased under the Plan will be 85% of its market
value at the time of purchase.  Purchases of shares pursuant to the
Plan shall be made on the fifteenth (15th) day of each month.  The
number of whole and fractional shares allocated to each employee's account as of
each date of purchase shall be based upon the balance of funds in an employee's
account available for the purchase of shares as of the close of the immediately
preceding month.  A participating employee's payroll deduction account
shall be charged with the purchase price of each whole and fractional share
allocated to the employee as of the date of purchase and the employee shall be
deemed to have exercised a right to acquire such whole and fractional share as
of such date.  Additional shares covered by the participating
employee's rights under the Plan will be purchased in the same manner, provided
funds have again accrued in his or her account.

    12. Dividends.  Any
cash dividends paid with respect to the shares held under the Plan shall be paid
in cash to the participating employees for whom shares are so held on the basis
of the number of whole and fractional shares so held or, if a participating
employee so elects, such dividends shall be combined with payroll deductions,
added to the funds held under the Plan, and applied to the purchase of
additional shares of stock purchased pursuant to the Plan.  A
participating employee choosing to have dividends reinvested under this
paragraph may terminate such election during an offering period by filing a
written form at the appropriate payroll location, but may thereafter resume his
or her election to reinvest such cash dividends only once during each Plan Year
of an offering period.  An election to either stop or resume dividend
reinvestment will be effective with respect to the dividend payment next
following receipt of the form; provided that if the form is filed within thirty
(30) days before a dividend record date declared by the Board, then such
election will not be effective with respect to that particular dividend
declaration.

     

    13. Stock
Issuances.  Shares of the Corporation’s common stock will only be
issued to participating employees promptly after their request or promptly after
the participating employee's withdrawal from the Plan for any
reason.  All shares of the Corporation’s common stock issued pursuant
to the Plan shall be issued in uncertificated form subject to the right of any
participating employee to request that his or her shares be issued in
certificated form.

    14. Registration
of Shares.  Shares of the Corporation’s common stock may be registered
only in the name of the employee, or if the employee so indicates on the
employee's payroll deduction authorization form, in the employee's name jointly
with a member of the employee's family (provided that such family member has
reached the age of majority), with right of survivorship.  An employee
who is a resident of a jurisdiction which does not recognize such a joint
tenancy may have shares registered in the employee's  name as tenant
in common with a member of the employee's family (provided such family member
has reached the age of majority), without right of survivorship.

     

    15. Definitions.  The
following terms when used herein shall have the meanings set forth
below:

     

    
      	
              a.  

            	
              The
      phrase "market value" or "fair market value" means the closing price of
      the Corporation's common stock in the Over-the-Counter NASDAQ Global
      Market, as reported in the Hartford, Connecticut local issue of The Wall
      Street Journal, on the business day immediately preceding the day of
      purchase or the effective date of the offering as the context
      requires.

            

    

     

    
      	
              b.  

            	
              The
      term "subsidiary" means a subsidiary of the Corporation within the meaning
      of Section 424(f) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations
      thereunder, provided, however, that each consecutive offering under this
      Plan shall not be deemed to cover the employees of any subsidiary acquired
      or established after the effective date of such offering, unless so
      authorized by the Committee.

    16. Rights as

participating employee under the Plan or, (b) except as provided in paragraph
12, any fractional shares credited to the participating employee's
account.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        6

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    17. Rights on
Retirement, Death or Termination of Employment.  In the event of a
participating employee's retirement, death or termination of employment, no
payroll deduction shall be taken from any pay due and owing to an employee at
such time, and the balance in the employee's account (including the value of any
fractional shares calculated in the manner described in paragraph 9) shall be
paid to the employee or, in the event of the employee's death, to the employee's
beneficiary; provided, however, that in the event shares credited to the account
of a deceased employee would have been issued to the employee and a joint tenant
with right of survivorship as permitted in paragraph 14 if issued immediately
prior to such employee's death, then such shares shall be issued to such joint
tenant, if living at the time such shares are issued.

     

    A
participating employee may designate a beneficiary by completing and forwarding
a beneficiary designation form to the employee’s appropriate payroll
location.  Except where a participating employee has designated that
shares allocated to such employee are to be registered in the name of the
employee and a family member as joint tenants, with rights of survivorship, and
such family member survives the employee, upon the employee’s death, the
Corporation shall transfer to the beneficiary all shares then allocated to the
employee’s account under the Plan.  In the case of shares to be
registered in the name of the employee and a tenant in common, the beneficiary
shall only receive the employee’s interest in such shares.  The
Corporation shall also transfer to the beneficiary any funds remaining in the
employee’s payroll deduction account at the time of the employee’s
death.

    If the
employee has no beneficiary designated, or if the beneficiary predeceased the
employee, the employee’s estate shall be deemed to be the employee’s
beneficiary.

     

    18. Obligation
of Corporation to Purchase.  In the event of personal or family
circumstances of an emergency nature, for a period of one year after the
exercise of a right to purchase a share or shares as described in paragraphs 10
and 11, a participating employee shall have the right to offer such shares back
to the Corporation at the price at which such shares were purchased, and the
Corporation shall have the obligation to make such repurchase.

     

    19. Rights
Not Transferable.  Rights under this Plan are not transferable by a
participating employee and are exercisable during an employee's lifetime only by
the employee.

as may be deemed equitable by the Board.  In the event of any other
change affecting such stock, such adjustments shall be made as may be deemed
equitable by the Board to give proper effect to such event.

    22. Amendment
of the Plan.  The Board may at any time, or from time to time, amend
this Plan in any respect, except that, without the approval of a majority of the
voting power of all shares of the Corporation then issued and outstanding and
entitled to vote on the matter by applicable law, or such further shareholder
approval as may be needed to comply with the requirements of Section 423 of the
Code, no amendment shall be made (i) increasing the number of shares approved
for this Plan (other than as provided in paragraph 21); (ii) decreasing the
purchase price per share; (iii) withdrawing the administration of this Plan from
the Committee; or (iv) changing the designation of subsidiaries eligible to
participate in the Plan, except adding a subsidiary as provided in paragraph
15(b).

     

    23. Termination
of Plan.  This Plan and all rights of employees under an offering
hereunder shall terminate:

     

    
      	
              a.  

            	
              on
      the date that participating employees' accumulated payroll deductions
      pursuant to paragraph 6 and amounts reinvested pursuant to paragraph 12
      are sufficient to purchase a number of shares equal to or greater than the
      number of shares remaining available for purchase.  If the
      number of shares so purchasable is greater than the shares remaining
      available, the available shares shall be allocated by the Committee among
      such participating employees in such manner as it deems equitable,
      or

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      b.  

            	
              at
      any time at the discretion of the
Board.

            

    

     

    Upon termination of the Plan all
amounts in the accounts of participating employees not applied to the purchase
of shares hereunder, together with the value of any fractional shares calculated
in the manner described in paragraph 9, shall be promptly refunded.

    24. Government
Regulations.  The Corporation's obligation to sell and deliver shares
of its common stock under this Plan is subject to the approval of any
governmental authority required in connection with the authorization, issuance
or sale of such stock.

     

    25. Shares
Used to Fund Plan.  The Corporation may utilize unissued shares to
fund the Plan.  Purchases of outstanding shares may also be made
pursuant to and on behalf of the Plan, upon such terms as the Corporation may
approve, for delivery under the Plan.

     

    26. Qualified
Plan.  This Plan is intended to qualify as an Employee Stock Purchase
Plan as defined in Section 423 of the Code.  The term "right" as used
herein shall mean "option" as used in Section 423, and is used herein only to
avoid confusion with "options" granted under the Kaman Corporation 2003 Stock
Incentive Plan.

     

    27. Successor
Corporation.  The rights and obligations of the Corporation under this
Plan shall inure to and be binding upon any successor to all or substantially
all of the Corporation's assets and business.

     

    28. Business
Days.  If any event provided for in this Plan is scheduled to take
place on a day which is not a business day then such event shall take place on

from time to time request pursuant to Section 2.04.  Each Revolving Credit Loan under this Section 2.01(a) which is a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan shall be for an aggregate principal amount of at least $100,000.00 or any larger multiple of $25,000.00. 
Each Revolving Credit Loan under this Section 2.01(a) which is a Revolving Credit LIBOR Loan shall be for an aggregate principal amount of at least $1,000,000.00 or any larger multiple of $250,000.00.  The aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans

with respect thereto exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment.  Each Revolving Credit Loan under this Section 2.01 shall be made from the several Lenders ratably in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares.  Within the
foregoing limits, the Company may borrow under this Section 2.01(a), prepay under Section 2.11 and reborrow at any time during the Revolving Credit Period under this Section 2.01(a).  All Revolving Credit Loans not paid prior to the last day of the Revolving

of any Lender to make any Revolving Credit Loan required under this Agreement shall not release any other Lender from its obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans as provided herein.

            (b)        The Company shall deliver to the Agent and each Lender on or before the date of this Agreement (with respect to the fiscal
month of the Company ended August 31, 2008) and on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of each month thereafter commencing October 15, 2008, a borrowing base certificate in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (a
"Borrowing Base Certificate") (together with such supporting information as the Agent or any Lender may reasonably request in connection therewith) setting forth:

Company;

month of the Company;

            (iii)       the aggregate principal amount of all Swing Line Loans outstanding as of the end of the immediately preceding fiscal month of
the Company;

of the Company plus all unreimbursed drawings with respect thereto; and

            (v)        the difference, if any, between the Borrowing Base and the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings as of the end of the
immediately preceding fiscal month of the Company.

The Borrowing Base shown in such Borrowing Base Certificate shall be and remain the Borrowing Base hereunder until the next Borrowing Base Certificate is delivered to the Agent and each Lender, at which time the Borrowing Base shall be
the amount shown in such subsequent Borrowing Base Certificate.  Each Borrowing Base Certificate shall be certified (subject to normal year‐end adjustments) as being true, correct and complete in all material respects by the President or the Chief
Financial Officer of the Company.

            (c)        If at any time the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings are greater than the Borrowing Base as shown on the most recent
Borrowing Base Certificate, the Company shall be automatically required (without demand or notice of any kind by the Agent or any Lender, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Company) to immediately repay the Revolving Credit Loans and/or the Swing Line
Loans and/or surrender for cancellation the outstanding Letters of Credit, in either case in an amount sufficient to reduce the amount of the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings to the amount of the Borrowing Base.

            (d)        If the total Revolving Credit Commitments of all of the Lenders on any date should be less than the Total Revolving Credit
Outstandings on such date, whether as a result of the Company’s election to decrease the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.01(e) or otherwise, the Company shall be automatically required (without demand or notice of
any kind by the Agent or any Lender, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Company) to immediately repay the Revolving Credit Loans and/or the Swing Line Loans and/or surrender for cancellation the outstanding Letters of Credit, in either case in an amount
sufficient to reduce the amount of the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings to an amount equal to or less than the total Revolving Credit Commitments of all of the Lenders.

            (e)        The Company may, upon three (3) Business Days' prior written notice to the Agent and each Lender, terminate entirely at any
time, or proportionately reduce from time to time on a pro rata basis among the Lenders based on their respective Pro Rata Shares by an aggregate amount of $1,000,000.00 or any larger multiple of $250,000.00 the unused portions of the Revolving Credit Commitments;
provided, however, that (i) at no time shall the Revolving Credit Commitments be reduced to a figure less than the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings, (ii) at no time shall the Revolving Credit Commitments be reduced to less than $10,000,000.00 and (iii)
any such termination or reduction shall be permanent and the Company shall have no right to thereafter reinstate or increase, as the case may be, the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender.”

            “2.01A  Swing Line Commitment.

            (a)        Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing (provided, however, that U.S. Bank shall have no liability to any other Lender for making a Swing Line Loan to the Company after the occurrence or during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default unless U.S. Bank has previously received
notice in writing from the Company or any other Lender of, or has actual knowledge of, the occurrence of such Default or Event of Default), during the Revolving Credit Period, U.S. Bank  agrees to make such loans to the Company (individually, a "Swing Line Loan"
and collectively, the "Swing Line Loans") as the Company may from time to time request pursuant to Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan requested by way of a Notice of Swing Line Borrowing shall be for an aggregate principal amount of at least $100,000.00 or any larger
multiple of $25,000.00. The aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans which U.S. Bank shall be required or permitted to have outstanding under this Agreement as of any date shall not exceed the amount of the Swing Line Commitment; provided, however, that in no
event shall the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings as of any date exceed the sum of (i) the lesser of (A) total Revolving Credit Commitments of all of the Lenders as of such date or (B) the Borrowing Base as of such date.Within the foregoing limits, the
Company may borrow under this Section 2.01A, prepay under Section 2.11 and reborrow at any time during the Revolving Credit Period under this Section 2.01A.  All Swing Line Loans not paid prior to the last day of the Revolving Credit Period, together with all
accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all fees and other amounts owing by the Company to U.S. Bank with respect thereto, shall be due and payable on the last day of the Revolving Credit Period. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender (other
than U.S. Bank) shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from U.S. Bank a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share (based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the
Revolving Credit Commitments) of such Swing Line Loan.

            (b)        U.S. Bank may at any time in its sole and absolute discretion request, on behalf of  the Company (and the Company
hereby irrevocably requests and authorizes U.S. Bank to so request on its behalf), that each Lender make a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding.  Such request shall
(i) be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.04(a), (ii) not be subject to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.01(a)
for the principal amount of the Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans and (iii) be subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3. U.S. Bank shall furnish the Company with a copy of the applicable Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing promptly after delivering such
notice to the Agent.  Each Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount specified in such Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing available in immediately available funds to the Agent for the account of U.S. Bank at the Agent’s
address specified in or pursuant to Section 8.07 not later than 12:00 noon (St. Louis, Missouri time) on the day specified in such Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing, whereupon, subject to Section 2.01A(c), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed
to have made a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan to the Company in such amount. The Agent shall remit the funds so received to U.S. Bank.

            (c)        If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a borrowing of Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans in
accordance with Section 2.01A(b) (whether as a result of a failure to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth in Section 3 or otherwise), the request for a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan submitted by U.S. Bank as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a
request by U.S. Bank that each of the other Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan(s) and each such Lender's payment to the Agent for the account of U.S. Bank pursuant to Section 2.01A(b) shall be deemed payment in respect of such
participation.

            (d)        If any Lender fails to make available to U.S. Bank any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section 2.01A by the time specified in Section 2.01A(b), U.S. Bank shall be entitled to recover from such Lender, on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment
is immediately available to U.S. Bank at a rate per annum equal to the Fed Funds Rate. A certificate of U.S. Bank submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.01A shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

            (e)        Each Lender's obligation to make Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line
Loans pursuant to this Section 2.01A shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against U.S. Bank, the Company or any other
Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default or (iii) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender's obligation to make Revolving
Credit Base Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 2.01A (but not such Lender’s obligation to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.01A) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3. No such purchase or funding
of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Company to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

            (f)         At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if U.S. Bank
receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, U.S. Bank will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender's risk participation
was funded) in the same funds as those received by U.S. Bank.

            (g)        If any payment received by U.S. Bank in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned
by U.S. Bank to the Company or any other Person for any reason, each Lender shall pay to U.S. Bank its Pro Rata Share thereof on the demand of U.S. Bank, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal
to the Fed Funds Rate.

(h)        Until a Lender funds its Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.01A to refinance such Lender's Pro Rata Share of any Swing Line Loan, interest in
respect of such Pro Rata Share shall be solely for the account of U.S. Bank.

            (i)         The Company shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to U.S.
Bank.”

            30.       Section 2.02 of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following substituted in lieu thereof:

            “2.02    Term Loan. The Lenders have heretofore made LaBarge Electronics a term loan in the aggregate
original principal amount of $25,000,000.00 (the "Term Loan"). As of October 3, 2008, the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan is $3,000,000.00. LaBarge Electronics desires to borrow an additional aggregate principal amount of $7,000,000.00 from the
Lenders, thereby increasing the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan from $3,000,000.00 to $10,000,000.00. LaBarge Electronics shall borrow (a) $3,500,000.00 of such additional principal amount on October 3, 2008, and (b) the remaining
$3,500,000.00 of such additional principal amount on November 30, 2008, or on such earlier Business Day during the period commencing October 3, 2008, and ending November 30, 2008, as LaBarge Electronics may elect upon not less than three (3) Business Days’
prior written notice to the Agent (the “Additional Term Loan Advance Date”). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Lender severally agrees to
make an additional advance on the Term Loan to LaBarge Electronics (a) on October 3, 2008, in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of $3,500,000.00 and (b) on the Additional Term Loan Advance Date in a principal amount equal to such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of $3,500,000.00. The Term Loan shall mature on October 3, 2010. Principal on the Term Loan shall be due and payable in nine (9) consecutive quarterly installments as follows: eight (8) equal consecutive quarterly installments in the
amount of $500,000.00 each, due and payable on the last day of each November, February, May and August commencing November 30, 2008, with the ninth (9th) and final installment in the amount of the then outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan due and payable on
October 3, 2010. All principal payments and prepayments on the Term Loan shall, unless otherwise directed by LaBarge Electronics in writing at or prior to the time of such payment or prepayment, be applied first to that portion of the Term Loan, if any, accruing
interest based on the Adjusted Base Rate and then to those portions of the Term Loan, if any, accruing interest based on the LIBOR Rate (and among those portions of the Term Loan, if any, accruing interest based on the LIBOR Rate, being applied to the Interest
Periods in the order of their respective expiration dates (i.e. earliest expiration date first)).”

            31.       Section 2.04(a) of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following substituted in lieu thereof:

            “(a)      The Company shall give notice (a "Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing") to the Agent by 12:00 noon (St. Louis time) on the
Business Day of each Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan to be made to the Company, and by 12:00 noon (St. Louis Time) at least two (2) Eurodollar Business Days before each Revolving Credit LIBOR Loan to be made to the Company, specifying:

                        (i)         the date of such Revolving Credit Loan, which
shall be a Business Day during the Revolving Credit Period in the case of a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan and a Eurodollar Business Day during the Revolving Credit Period in the case of a Revolving Credit LIBOR Loan,

                        (ii)        the aggregate principal amount of such Revolving
Credit Loan,

                        (iii)       whether such Revolving Credit Loan is to be a Revolving
Credit Base Rate Loan or a Revolving Credit LIBOR Loan, and

                        (iv)       in the case of a Revolving Credit LIBOR Loan, the
duration of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto, subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest Period.”

            32.       Section 2.04(d) of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following substituted in lieu thereof:

written instructions of any person identifying himself or herself as one of the individuals listed on Schedule 2.04 attached hereto (or any other individual from time to time authorized to act on behalf of the Company pursuant to a resolution adopted by the
Board of Directors of the Company and certified by the Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Agent and each Lender) (each, an “Authorized Person”) with respect to any request to make a Revolving Credit Loan or a Swing Line Loan or a repayment
hereunder, and on any signature which the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, believes in good faith to be genuine, and the Company shall be bound thereby in the same manner as if such individual were actually authorized or such signature were genuine. 
The Company also hereby agrees to defend and indemnify the Agent and each Lender and hold the Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses) relating to or arising out of or in connection with the acceptance of any notices or instructions believed by the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, in good faith to have been sent or delivered
by an Authorized Person, regardless of whether such notice or instruction was in fact delivered by an Authorized Person.”

            33.       The following new Sections 2.04(e) and 2.04(f) are hereby added to the Loan Agreement:

“(e)      Except as set forth in this Section 2.04(e), the Company shall give notice (a "Notice of Swing Line Borrowing") to U.S. Bank by 12:00 noon (St. Louis time) on the Business Day of each Swing Line
Loan, specifying:

            (ii)        the principal amount of such Swing Line Loan.

A Notice of Swing Line Borrowing shall not be revocable by the Company.

Pursuant to a certain U.S. Bank Treasury Management Service Agreement by and between the Company and U.S. Bank and any and all other terms and conditions, agreements, documents and/or instruments related thereto, as the same may from
time to time be amended, modified, restated or replaced, the Company has requested and authorized U.S. Bank to (A) to apply any collected balances (after funding advances) in excess of a mutually predetermined amount (the “Target Balance”) remaining at
the end of any day in the Company’s Account No. 4349567042 at U.S. Bank (the “Company’s Operating Account”) to the repayment of any outstanding Swing Line Loans and (B) subject to all of the other terms and conditions of this Agreement
(including the preconditions to Loans set forth in Section 3.02), make a Swing Line Loan to the Company at the end of any day on which the Company shall have an overdraft (negative collected balance) or a collected balance otherwise less than the Target Balance in
the Company’s Operating Account (a “Deficiency Amount”) after crediting all deposits received in immediately available funds and debiting all withdrawals made and checks presented against the Company’s Operating Account and honored by U.S.
Bank as of such date, which Swing Line Loan shall be in the amount of the Deficiency Amount, without any other request or authorization therefor from the Company and without notice to the Company.  A Notice of Swing Line Borrowing shall not be required in
connection with a Swing Line Loan made to cover any Deficiency Amount in the Company’s Operating Account as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence.

            (f)         Unless U.S. Bank determines that any applicable condition specified in Section 3 has not been satisfied, U.S. Bank
will make the proceeds of each Swing Line Loan available to the Company by 3:00 p.m. (St. Louis time) by crediting such funds to the Company’s Operating Account.”

            34.       Section 2.05(b) of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following substituted in lieu thereof:

            “(b)      The Term Loan of each Lender to LaBarge Electronics shall be evidenced by a Term Loan Promissory Note of LaBarge Electronics
payable to the order of such Lender in an original principal amount equal to the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of $10,000,000.00, each of which Term Loan Promissory Notes shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit C attached hereto and incorporated
herein by reference (with appropriate insertions)(collectively, as the same may from time to time be amended, modified, extended, renewed, restated or replaced (including, without limitation, any Term Loan Note issued in full or
partial replacement of an existing Term Loan Note as a result of an assignment by a Lender), the "Term Loan Notes").”

            35.       The following new Sections 2.05(e) and 2.05(f) are hereby added to the Loan Agreement:

U.S. Bank in a principal amount equal to the amount of the Swing Line Commitment, which Swing Line Note shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit I attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (with appropriate insertions) (as the same may from
time to time be amended, modified extended, renewed or restated, the "Swing Line Note").

            (f)         U.S. Bank shall record in its books and records the date and amount of each Swing Line Loan made by it and the date
and amount of each payment of principal and/or interest made by the Company with respect thereto; provided, however, that the obligation of the Company to repay each Swing Line Loan actually made by U.S. Bank to the Company under this Agreement shall be absolute and
unconditional, notwithstanding any failure of U.S. Bank to make any such recordation or any mistake by U.S. Bank in connection with any such recordation. The books and records of U.S. Bank showing the account between U.S. Bank and the Company shall be conclusive
evidence of the items set forth therein in the absence of demonstrable error.”

            36.       Section 2.06 of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following substituted in lieu thereof:

            “2.06    Duration of Interest Periods and Selection of Interest Rates.

            (a)        The duration of the initial Interest Period for each Revolving Credit LIBOR Loan shall be as specified in the applicable
Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing.  The Company shall elect the duration of each subsequent Interest Period applicable to such Revolving Credit LIBOR Loan and the interest rate to be applicable during such subsequent Interest Period (and the Company shall
have the option (i) in the case of any Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan, to elect that such Revolving Credit Loan become a Revolving Credit LIBOR Loan and the Interest Period to be applicable thereto, and (ii) in the case of any Revolving Credit LIBOR Loan,
to elect that such Revolving Credit Loan become a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan), by giving oral or written notice of such election to the Agent by 12:00 noon (St. Louis time) on the Business Day of, in the case of the election of the Adjusted Base Rate, and
by 12:00 noon (St. Louis time) at least two (2) Eurodollar Business Days before, in the case of the election of the LIBOR Rate, the end of the immediately preceding Interest Period applicable thereto, if any; provided, however, that notwithstanding the
foregoing, in addition to and without limiting the rights and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders under Section 6 hereof, so long as any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall not be permitted to renew any
Revolving Credit LIBOR Loan as a Revolving Credit LIBOR Loan or to convert any Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan into a Revolving Credit LIBOR Loan.  Upon receipt of any such notice given by Borrower to the Agent under this Section 2.06(a), the Agent shall notify
each Lender by 1:00 p.m. (St. Louis time) on the date of receipt of such notice (which must be a Business Day) of the contents thereof.  If the Agent does not receive a notice of election for a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to this Section 2.06(a) within
the applicable time limits specified herein, the Company shall be deemed to have elected to pay such Revolving Credit Loan in whole pursuant to Section 2.11 on the last day of the current Interest Period with respect thereto and to reborrow the principal amount of
such Revolving Credit Loan on such date as a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan.

            (b)        The Term Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted
Base Rate.  LaBarge Electronics may from time to time fix the interest rate on all or any portion of the Term Loan in an amount not less than $500,000.00 or any larger multiple of $250,000.00 at the LIBOR Rate for the Interest Period selected by LaBarge
Electronics (subject to the definition of Interest Period); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, in addition to and without limiting the rights and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders under Section 6 hereof, so long as any Default or Event of
Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing, LaBarge Electronics shall not be permitted to fix the interest rate on all or any portion of the Term Loan at the LIBOR Rate.  If LaBarge Electronics elects to have any portion of the Term Loan bear
interest at the LIBOR Rate, LaBarge Electronics shall give oral or written notice (an "Interest Rate Selection Notice") to the Agent by 12:00 noon (St. Louis time) at least two (2) Eurodollar Business Days before any date (which must be a Eurodollar Business
Day) upon which LaBarge Electronics desires to fix the interest rate on any portion of the Term Loan, which Interest Rate Selection Notice shall specify the portion of the Term Loan which is to bear interest at the LIBOR Rate and the initial Interest Period
applicable thereto.  LaBarge Electronics may not revoke or rescind any Interest Rate Selection Notice.  Upon receipt of any such Interest Rate Selection Notice given by LaBarge Electronics to the Agent under this Section 2.06(b), the Agent shall notify each
Lender by 1:00 p.m. (St. Louis time) on the date of receipt of such Interest Rate Selection Notice (which must be a Business Day) of the contents thereof.  Unless LaBarge Electronics shall have otherwise notified the Agent in accordance with this Section
2.06(b), upon the expiration of any Interest Period, that portion of the Term Loan bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate during such Interest Period shall bear interest at the Adjusted Base Rate from and after the expiration of such Interest Period.

            (c)        The Company and LaBarge Electronics, collectively, may not have outstanding and the Lenders shall not be obligated to make
more than ten (10) LIBOR Loans at any one time.”

            37.       Section 2.07(e) of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following substituted in lieu thereof:

            “(e)      So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the from time to time outstanding principal balance of each Swing
Line Loan shall bear interest prior to the maturity of the Swing Line Note (whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rate. So long as any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the from time to time
outstanding principal balance of each Swing Line Loan shall, unless otherwise agreed in writing by each Lender, bear interest prior to the maturity of the Swing Line Note (whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to Three Percent (3%)
per annum over and above the Adjusted Base Rate. Such interest shall be due and payable monthly on the last day of each month, commencing on the first such date after such Swing Line Loan is made, and at the maturity of the Swing Line Note (whether by reason of
acceleration or otherwise). From and after the maturity of the Swing Line Note (whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise), the from time to time outstanding principal balance of each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to Three Percent
(3%) per annum over and above the Adjusted Base Rate and be due and payable on demand.

            (f)         The Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder and its determination thereof shall be
conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error.”

shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender a nonrefundable commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender (determined by subtracting such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings from such
Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate. Said commitment fee shall be (i) calculated on a daily basis, (ii) payable quarterly in arrears on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 during the
Revolving Credit Period and on the last day of the Revolving Credit Period and (iii) calculated on an actual day, 360‐day year basis.

            (b)        From and including October 3, 2008, to but excluding the Additional Term Loan Advance Date, LaBarge Electronics shall pay
to the Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders a nonrefundable commitment fee on the amount by which the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan is less than $10,000,000.00 at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate. Said
commitment fee shall be (i) calculated on a daily basis, (ii) payable in arrears on December 31, 2008, and (iii) calculated on an actual day, 360‐day year basis.

            (c)        The Company and LaBarge Electronics agree to pay U.S. Bank certain fees in the amounts set forth in that certain letter
agreement by and between the Company and U.S. Bank dated July 23, 2008, as the same may from time to time be amended, modified, extended, renewed or restated.”

            39.       The following new Section 2.11(e) is hereby added to the Loan Agreement:

Louis time) on date of the prepayment (which must be a Business Day) specifying that it is prepaying the Swing Line Loans, prepay without penalty or premium the Swing Line Loans in whole at any time or in part from time to time, by paying the principal amount to be
paid. Any such notice from the Borrower shall not be revocable.”

            40.       Section 2.13 of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following substituted in lieu thereof:

Agent will distribute to each Lender in immediately available funds its Pro Rata Share of each such payment received by the Agent for the account of the Lenders by 3:00 p.m. (St. Louis time) on the day of receipt of such payment by the Agent if such payment is

            41.       Section 2.23 of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following substituted in lieu thereof:

            “2.23    Application of Payments. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement and/or any
other Transaction Document to the contrary:

            (a)        so long as neither the Agent nor the Required Lenders have accelerated and demanded immediate repayment of any or all of
the Borrower's Obligations owed by any one or more of the Borrowers following an Event of Default under this Agreement, all monies received by the Agent and/or any Lender as a result of voluntary payment from a Borrower shall be applied to the payment of the various
Borrower's Obligations owed by such Borrower as directed by such Borrower and the Agent shall promptly remit to each Lender its ratable share of each such payment; and

            (b)        all other monies received by the Agent and/or any Lender, including, without limitation, all monies received by the Agent
and/or any Lender after the Agent or the Required Lenders have accelerated and demanded immediate repayment of any or all of the Borrower's Obligations owed by any one or more of the Borrowers following an Event of Default under this Agreement, whether received as a
result of a payment from any Borrower and/or any other Obligor, through the exercise of a right of setoff or realized from the sale or other disposition of or collections from any of the Collateral or resulting from any proceedings against any Borrower or any other
Obligor or from any source whatsoever, shall be applied in the following order (or in such other order as each of the Lenders may agree): (i) first, to the reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred by the Agent
and/or any Lender to effect such recovery, to enforce any right or remedy under this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other agreement with any Borrower or any Person relating to such recovery, to dispose of any of the Collateral, to preserve or
protect any of the Collateral, including, without limitation, making expenditures for taxes, insurance premiums, prevention of waste and preservation of any of the Collateral, repairs and maintenance, or to manage and operate any of the Collateral; and (ii)
second, pro rata among the various the Borrower’s Obligations owed by any one or more of the Borrowers based on the then total outstanding amount of each of said Borrower's Obligations on the date of receipt of such monies. For example, if,
as of the date of determination, (i) the aggregate outstanding amount (principal and interest) of the Revolving Credit Loans was $300.00, (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Swing Line Loans was $50.00, (iii) the aggregate undrawn face amount of
the outstanding Letters of Credit together with all unreimbursed drawings with respect thereto was $150.00, (iv) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan was $400.00, (v) the Swap Termination Value owed by a Borrower to a Lender with respect to a
Swap Contract was $75.00 and (vi) the amount owed by a Borrower to a Lender under or with respect to a Treasury Management Agreement was $25.00, Thirty Percent (30%) of the monies would be applied to the Revolving Credit Loans, Five Percent (5%) of the monies would
be applied to the Swing Line Loans, Fifteen Percent (15%) of the monies would be applied to the Letters of Credit, Forty Percent (40%) of the monies would be applied to the Term Loan, Seven and One-Half Percent (7-1/2%) of the monies would be applied to the Swap
Termination Value under the Swap Contract and Two and One-Half Percent (2-1/2%) of the monies would be applied to the amounts under or with respect to a Treasury Management Agreement; and any amount so allocated to a Letter of Credit shall be held in escrow by the
Agent as cash collateral for the Company’s reimbursement and other obligations with respect to such Letter of Credit until such Letter of Credit is drawn on, expires or is terminated, and, to the extent such Letter of Credit is not fully drawn, the excess
monies escrowed for such Letter of Credit shall be reallocated among the other Borrower’s Obligations owed by any one or more of the Borrowers in such amounts as would have been allocated to such other Borrower’s Obligations (in the manner set forth
above) if the undrawn portion of such Letter of Credit had not been deemed to be issued and outstanding for purposes of the allocation which gave rise to the escrow deposit); and any amount so allocated to the various the Borrower’s Obligations shall be
allocated among the Lenders based on their respective ratable shares of such Borrower’s Obligations.”
