	Definitions
	 
	 
	 
	 

	 
	 
	 
	 
	 

	   Net Income
	=
	Ducommun consolidated net income excluding the following:
(i)    the effect of any changes in accounting principles that were not contemplated in the Company’s annual operating plan on which the Target is based,
(ii)    any gain or loss on the sale of any business or product line,
(iii)    any asset impairment write-offs or charges (whether of goodwill, intangible or tangible assets), 
(iv)    transaction-related costs or expenses arising in connection with the purchase or sale of any business or product line, including the effects of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141R (Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 shall continue to be applied), and
(v)    Any costs or expenses arising in connection with the refinancing, restructuring or pre-payment of any debt, including but not limited to the unamortized portion of any original issue discount, the unamortized portion of any original issue cost and expenses, and any pre-payment or make-whole payments, costs or expenses.

	 
	 
	 

	   Cash Flow
	=

	Cash flow from operating activities (subject to the adjustments of Net Income as set forth above)

	 
	 
	 

	Net Sales
	=

	Ducommun consolidated net sales, adjusted as appropriate for the effect of the purchase or sale of any business or product line

General

		
	▪
	Subject to the Compensation Committee’s discretion, no bonus will be paid to corporate or any subsidiary management unless Ducommun Net Income equals or exceeds the minimum Net Income set forth on Schedule B.

		
	▪
	Bonus targets for the persons covered by this Plan are expressed as a percentage of 2014 salaries as set forth on Schedule A.

Any person added to the Plan during the year must be approved by the CEO of Ducommun, and will be eligible to receive a pro rata bonus for the portion of the year employed.

2

		
	▪
	Except as set forth on Schedule A, to be eligible to receive a bonus award, a person must be employed by Ducommun or a subsidiary on the date of payment of the 2014 bonus.

		
	▪
	All amounts shall be calculated after accrual of the bonuses.

		
	▪
	All bonus awards to the persons listed on Schedule A are subject to the approval and are at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Ducommun.  The Compensation Committee shall make all interpretations of this Plan, and shall have discretion to make exceptions or adjustments as it deems appropriate.

Bonus Pool

		
	▪
	A bonus pool shall be generated based fifty percent (50%) on the Net Income, forty percent (40%) on the Cash Flow and ten percent (10%) on the Net Sales (each, a “Financial Metric”) of the Company compared to Target as set forth on Schedule B.

		
	▪
	The bonus pool shall be calculated as follows:

		
	▪
	Minimum or less = $0

		
	▪
	Target    =    sum of target bonus percentage multiplied by the salary* for all persons covered by this Plan (“Aggregate Target Bonuses”).

		
	▪
	Maximum    =    three times the Aggregate Target Bonuses

*Actual salary earned in 2014

		
	▪
	Shortfall in performance on one Financial Metric may be offset by over performance on the other Financial Metrics.  (For example, 100% of Target for Net Sales, 90% of Target for Cash Flow and 108% of Target for Net Income creates a bonus pool equal to the Aggregate Target Bonuses.)

		
	▪
	All bonus pool amounts shall be calculated on a linear basis for performance between two data points.

3

Bonus Awards

		
	▪
	Individual bonus awards are based on:

		
	▪
	Company Net Income, Cash Flow and Net Sales compared to Targets as set forth on Schedule B, and

		
	▪
	Assessment of individual manager performance.

		
	▪
	Shortfall in performance on one Financial Metric may be offset by over performance on other Financial Metrics.

		
	▪
	Individual bonus awards generally are subject to adjustment based on individual manager performance so that the individual bonus award would be in the range of 80% to 150% of the amount that would have been awarded to an individual manager based on the Financial Metrics alone, provided, however, that in unusual circumstances the Compensation Committee, in its discretion, may make adjustments to individual manager awards that are greater than this range.

WHEREAS the Original Collateral Agent is the collateral agent with respect to the collateral of the Additional Senior Secured Note Guarantor;
WHEREAS pursuant to Section 9.01(a)(vi) of the Senior Secured Notes Indenture, the Trustee, the Original Collateral Agent, the Additional Collateral Agent, BP I and the Issuers are authorized (i) to amend the Senior Secured Notes Indenture to add a Senior Secured Note Guarantor with respect to any Senior Secured Note and (ii) to execute and deliver this Senior Secured Notes Supplemental Indenture;
Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Senior Secured Notes Indenture.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Additional Senior Secured Note Guarantor covenants and agrees for the equal and ratable benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of the Senior Secured Notes as follows:
1.  Guarantee.  The Additional Senior Secured Note Guarantor hereby jointly and severally with all other Senior Secured Note Guarantors unconditionally guarantees the Issuers’ obligations under the Senior Secured Notes and the Senior Secured Notes Indenture on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Article X of the Senior Secured Notes Indenture and agrees to be bound by all other applicable provisions of the Senior Secured Notes Indenture.
2.  Ratification of Senior Secured Notes Indenture; Senior Secured Notes Supplemental Indenture Part of Senior Secured Notes Indenture.  Except as expressly amended hereby, the Senior Secured Notes Indenture is in all respects ratified and confirmed and all the terms, conditions and provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect.  This Senior Secured Notes Supplemental Indenture shall form a part of the Senior Secured Notes Indenture for all purposes, and every holder of a Senior Secured Note heretofore or hereafter authenticated and delivered shall be bound hereby.
3.  Governing Law.  THIS SENIOR SECURED NOTES SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE ADDITIONAL SENIOR SECURED NOTE GUARANTORS AGREE TO SECTION 13.09 OF THE INDENTURE, INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION, WAIVER OF OBJECTION TO VENUE IN THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, NEW YORK, NEW YORK, AND PURSUANT TO SECTION 13.08, THE WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

4.  Trustee, Original Collateral Agent and Additional Collateral Agent Make No Representations.  The Trustee, Original Collateral Agent and Additional Collateral Agent make no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Senior Secured Notes Supplemental Indenture.
5.  Duplicate Originals.  The parties may sign any number of copies of this Senior Secured Notes Supplemental Indenture.  Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.
6.  Effect of Headings.  The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not effect the construction thereof.
7.  No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements.  This Senior Secured Notes Supplemental Indenture may not be used to interpret another indenture, loan or debt agreement of the Issuers, BP I, BP II, RGHL or any of their Subsidiaries. Any such indenture, loan or debt agreement may not be used to interpret this Senior Secured Notes Supplemental Indenture.
8.  No Recourse Against Others.  No (i) director, officer, employee, manager, incorporator or holder of any Equity Interests in BP I, BP II or any Issuer or any direct or indirect parent corporation or (ii) director, officer, employee or manager of the Additional Senior Secured Note Guarantor, will have any liability for any obligations of the Issuers under the Senior Secured Notes, this Senior Secured Notes Supplemental Indenture, or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.  Each holder of Senior Secured Notes by accepting a Senior Secured Note waives and releases all such liability.  The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the guarantee of the obligations under the Senior Secured Notes and the Senior Secured Notes Indenture by the Additional Senior Secured Note Guarantor.  The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.
9.  Indemnity.  (a)  The Issuers, BP I and the Additional Senior Secured Note Guarantor executing this Senior Secured Notes Supplemental Indenture, subject to Section 10.08 of the Senior Secured Notes Indenture, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee and each Agent (which in each case, for purposes of this Section, shall include its officers, directors, employees, agents and counsel) against any and all loss, liability, claim, taxes, costs, damage or expense (including properly incurred attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Senior Secured Notes Supplemental Indenture or a Senior Secured Note Guarantee provided herein against the Issuers, BP I or the Additional Senior Secured Note Guarantor (including this Section) and defending itself against or investigating any claim (whether (i) asserted by the Issuers, BP I, the Additional Senior Secured Note Guarantor, any Holder or any other Person or (ii) with respect to any action taken by the Trustee under the 2007 Intercreditor Agreement, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, any Additional Intercreditor Agreement or any other agreement referenced herein).  The obligation to pay such amounts shall survive the payment in full or defeasance of the Senior Secured Notes or the removal or resignation of the Trustee or the applicable Agent.  The Trustee or the applicable Agent shall notify the Issuers of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided, however, that any failure so to notify the Issuers shall not relieve any of the Issuers, BP I or the Additional Senior Secured Note Guarantor executing this Senior Secured Notes Supplemental Indenture of its indemnity obligations hereunder.  The Issuers shall defend the claim and the indemnified party shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Issuers’ expense in the defense.  Such indemnified parties may have separate counsel and the Issuers, BP I and the Additional Senior Secured Note Guarantor, as applicable, shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuers need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by an indemnified party solely through such party’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.
(a)  To secure the payment obligations of the Issuers, BP I and the Additional Senior Secured Note Guarantor in this Section, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Senior Secured Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held to pay principal of and interest on the Senior Secured Notes.
10.  Successors and Assigns.  All covenants and agreements of the Issuers and the Additional Senior Secured Note Guarantor in this Senior Secured Notes Supplemental Indenture and the Senior Secured Notes shall bind their respective successors and assigns. All agreements of the Trustee and each Collateral Agent in this Senior Secured Notes Supplemental Indenture shall bind its successors and assigns.
11.  Severability.  In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Senior Secured Notes Supplemental Indenture or the Senior Secured Notes shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Senior Secured Notes Supplemental Indenture or the Senior Secured Notes.
