     This Founders’ Bonus Plan Agreement (“Agreement”), dated as of September 18, 2006,
sets forth the terms and conditions by which The O’Gara Group, Inc. (“TOG”) shall reward
Thomas M. O’Gara, Wilfred T. O’Gara and Michael J. Lennon (collectively, the “Founders”),
as the founding management and shareholders of TOG, for the successful growth of TOG through
acquisitions.

     1.      For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings specified or referred
to in this Section 1.

     “Acquisition” — means the acquisition of (i) more than fifty percent (50%) of the
outstanding equity securities of any entity by means of any transaction or series of related
transactions (including, without limitation, any stock acquisition or transfer, any issuance of
stock by the entity, a reorganization, merger, consolidation, mandatory share exchange or
conversion transaction) in one (1) transaction or in a series of related transactions; or (ii) a
purchase, lease or other acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of a business or
entity, including, without limitation, a business unit or division of an entity in one (1)
transaction or in a series of related transactions.

     “Company” — means TOG or any subsidiary controlled directly or indirectly by TOG.

     “IPO” — means the sale, in an underwritten registered public offering, of common
stock of the Company pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act that
results in gross proceeds to the Company of not less than Twenty Five Million Dollars
($25,000,000).

     “Liquidating Event” — means the first to occur of (i) the acquisition of TOG, or of a
controlling equity interest in TOG, by another party or entity or group of affiliated parties by
means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any
stock acquisition or transfer, any issuance of stock by TOG, a reorganization, merger,
consolidation, mandatory share exchange or conversion transaction), other than a transaction, or
series of related transactions, as the case may be, in which the holders of the voting securities
of TOG outstanding immediately prior to such transaction, or the first of the series of related
transactions, as the case may be, continue to retain (either by such voting securities remaining
outstanding or by such voting securities being converted into voting securities of the surviving or
resulting entity) at least fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the voting
securities of TOG or such surviving or resulting entity outstanding immediately after such
transaction, or the last of the series of related transactions, as the case may be; (ii) a sale,
lease or other conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in one (1)
transaction or in a series of related transactions; or (iii) an IPO.

     “Liquidated” — means the bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings are commenced
by or against an entity, or a receiver or liquidator is appointed for
the entity’s business (and if such proceedings are commenced against the entity involuntarily, the proceedings are not
dismissed within ninety (90) days).

 

 

      “Qualified Acquisition” — means (A) any Acquisition by the Company that is entered
into during the period from immediately following the Company’s acquisition of Diffraction, Ltd. to
the earlier of (i) December 31, 2007; (ii) the effective date of a Liquidating Event that is not an
IPO; and (iii) the day prior to the effective date of a Liquidating Event that is an IPO and (B)
any proposed Acquisitions identified in documents filed as part of an IPO that becomes effective
not later than December 31, 2007 for which proceeds of the IPO will be used by the Company to enter
into such proposed Acquisitions.

     “Qualified Acquisition Purchase Price” — means the total purchase price paid, or
estimated to be paid, as the case may be, for any Qualified Acquisition, including the value of all
components of the purchase price (e.g. cash, stock, any other equity, seller financing, assumed
bank liabilities and earn outs).

     “Securities Act” — means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder.

     2.      Subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in Sections 3, 4 and 5, upon a
Liquidating Event, TOG shall pay each of the Founders an amount in cash equal to five percent (5%)
(resulting in an aggregate payment to the Founders of fifteen percent (15%)) of the aggregate
Qualified Acquisition Purchase Price for all Qualified Acquisitions (collectively, the
“Founders’ Bonus”), with the Founders’ Bonus to be paid in a lump sum on the effective date
of the Liquidating Event occurring any time after the date hereof, subject to the following
qualifications:

          a.      In the event of an IPO as the Liquidating Event and in the event that any shares of TOG
then held by The Walnut Group or its affiliates are subject to a lock-up period imposed upon the
recommendation of the underwriters, the lesser of the entire Founders’ Bonus or $3,000,000 (in the
aggregate) shall be paid to the Founders pro-rata in equal amounts upon the closing of such IPO and
the remaining sum, if any, shall be paid to the Founders pro-rata in equal amounts upon the end of
any such lock-up period.

          b.      If the Liquidating Event is a transaction other than an IPO, (i) all of the preferred
shareholders of TOG immediately prior to the Liquidating Event shall be entitled to be paid their
Subscription Price and accrued dividends (both as set forth in TOG’s then current articles of
incorporation) prior to the payment of the Founders’ Bonus, and (ii) if the proceeds received,
directly or indirectly, by TOG’s shareholders is other than all cash, the cash value of the
Founders’ Bonus will be paid to the Founders pro-rata in equal amounts in the same form (or forms)
and same percentages of cash and other consideration as the holders of TOG’s Class B 5%
Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock receive.

     3.      With respect to any particular Qualified Acquisition, one half of the Founders’ Bonus
relating to such particular acquisition (i.e., 2.5% of Qualified Acquisition Purchase Price
individually, 7.5% of Qualified Acquisition Purchase Price in the aggregate) will be forfeited if

2

 

the acquired company is Liquidated prior to the Liquidating Event. Additionally, the
Founders’ Bonus is forfeited in total in the event that upon the Liquidating Event the difference
between the equity value of the Company established at the time of and by the Liquidating Event
(but before accounting for payment of the Founders’ Bonus) and the equity value of the Company
established immediately subsequent to its acquisition of Diffraction, Ltd. is less than the amount
of the Founders’ Bonus.

     4.      Founders’ Bonus amounts based upon earn out payments made or accrued relating to any
Qualified Acquisitions will cease to accrue on the effective date of the Liquidating Event.

     5.      This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements between the parties with respect to its
subject matter and constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to its subject
matter. This Agreement may not be amended except by a written agreement executed by TOG and all of
the Founders. TOG and the Founders acknowledge that if payment of the entire Founders’ Bonus upon
the completion of an IPO would, in the opinion of the lead underwriter retained by TOG for purposes
of TOG’s IPO, prevent TOG from completing an IPO, then the form, timing and amounts of
consideration to be paid to the Founders under this Agreement will be revised by the parties
immediately prior to said IPO to the extent necessary, but in any event not to increase the value
of the Founders’ Bonus, in accordance with the recommendation of such underwriters as may be
necessary to complete the IPO.

     6.      This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of Ohio without regard to
conflicts of law principles.

Effective Time shall be converted, by virtue of the Merger and without the need for any action on

the terms hereof and of the Shareholders Agreement. Each certificate evidencing the shares of New
Class B Preferred, including any certificate issued to any transferee thereof, shall be imprinted
with legends in substantially the following form (unless otherwise permitted under this Section 3.6
or unless such shares of New Class B Preferred shall have been effectively registered and sold
under the ‘33 Act and applicable state securities laws):

“THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933. THEY MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR TRANSFERRED BY SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE OR
OTHERWISE UNLESS: (I) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OF 1933 IS IN EFFECT; OR (II) THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, WHICH OPINION
IS REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, TO THE EFFECT THAT

 

- 9 -

SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. TRANSFER OF THE
SECURITIES IS FURTHER RESTRICTED AS PROVIDED IN THE SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SHAREHOLDERS
AGREEMENT DATED AS OF JULY 14, 2006, A COPY OF WHICH IS AVAILABLE AT THE COMPANY’S OFFICES.”

     Each Holder of Shares by acceptance thereof agrees, so long as any legend described in this
Section shall remain on the certificates evidencing the Shares, as the case may be, prior to any
transfer of any of the same (except for a transfer effected pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the ‘33 Act or in compliance with Rule 144 or Rule 144A thereunder), to give
written notice to the Company of such Holder’s intention to effect such transfer and agrees to
comply in all material respects with the provisions of this Section 3.6. Such notice, if required,
shall describe the proposed method of transfer of the Shares in question. Upon receipt by the
Company of such notice, if required, and if in the opinion of counsel to such Holder, which opinion
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the proposed transfer may be effected without
registration under the ‘33 Act in compliance with Section 4(2) or Rules 144 or 144A thereunder and
under applicable state securities laws, then the proposed transfer may be effected; provided,
however, that in the case of any Holder which is a partnership, no such opinion of counsel shall be
necessary for a transfer by such partnership to a partner of such partnership, or a retired partner
of such partnership who retires after the date such partnership became a Holder, or the estate of
any such partner or retired partner, if the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms
of this Section 3.6 to the same extent as if such transferee were originally a signatory to this
Agreement. Upon receipt by the Company of such opinion and of such agreement by the transferee to
be bound by this Section 3.6, the Holder of such Shares shall thereupon be entitled to transfer the
same in accordance with the terms of the notice (if any) delivered by such Holder to the Company.
Each certificate, if any, evidencing the Shares, as the case may be, issued upon any such transfer
shall bear the legend set forth in this Section 3.6. Upon the written request of a Holder of the
Shares, the Company shall remove the foregoing legend from the certificates evidencing such Shares,
as the case may be, and issue to such Holder new certificates therefor, free of any transfer legend
if, with such request, the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel selected by the
Holder, such opinion to be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that any transfers
by said Holder of such Shares may be made to the public without compliance with either Section 5 of
the ‘33 Act or Rule 144 thereunder and applicable state securities laws. In no event will such
legend be removed if such opinion is based upon the “private offering” exemption of Section 4(2) of
the ‘33 Act.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a conflict between the provisions of this
Section 3.6 and the provisions of Sections 5.2(c) or 5.2(d) hereof, the provisions of Sections
5.2(c) or 5.2(d) shall prevail and control. Nothing in this Section 3.6 shall be deemed to be in
derogation of, or to be excepted from, the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Shareholders
Agreement.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH

RESPECT TO THE COMPANY

     Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule furnished pursuant to this Agreement, the
Company represents and warrants to the Investors (and each of them), at and as of the date hereof

and to own its properties as now conducted and owned and as proposed to be conducted and owned.
Schedule 4.1-1 attached hereto sets forth a true, complete and correct copy of the Existing
Articles. Schedule 4.1-2 attached hereto sets forth a true, complete and correct copy of the
Regulations. The Company is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions
in which the nature of its properties and business requires such qualification and in which the
failure to be so qualified would materially adversely affect the business, assets, liabilities,
prospects or financial or other condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

     Section 4.2 Subsidiaries.

     Section 4.2 of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth a list of all Subsidiaries of the Company.

party or by which it is bound or result in the creation or imposition of any material lien, claim
or encumbrance on any Company asset. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the
Company and (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the Investors)
constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in
accordance with its terms. No event has occurred and no condition exists that would constitute a

COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

     Section 5.1 Accounts and Reports. 

     Until a Public Offering occurs and so long as twenty five percent (25%) of the Shares of New
Class B Preferred issued under this Agreement remain outstanding (as adjusted for stock splits,
stock combinations and the like and including any shares of Common Stock held by the Investors into
which the New Class B Preferred may be converted), the Company shall furnish any Investor who or
that (together with its or his Affiliates) owns ten percent (10%) of the outstanding capital stock
of the Company with copies of the following certificates, filings and reports:

               (a) Annual Reports. As soon as available, and in any event within one
hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year, audited Financial
Statements of the Company.

               (b) Monthly Financial Statements. Within thirty (30) days after the
end of each month, beginning with August 2006, copies of the Company’s

 

- 21 -

unaudited statements of income and cash flow and unaudited consolidated balance
sheet as of the end of such month together with comparisons to budget and forecast
and to corresponding periods in prior years, which shall be prepared in accordance
with GAAP consistently applied and so certified by the Company’s principal financial
officer.

               (c) Certifications. All Financial Statements referred to in Section
5.1(a) above shall be certified by the Company’s Independent Public Accountants and
shall be presented in form comparative to the similar period of the preceding year.
If for any period the Company has any Subsidiary or Subsidiaries whose accounts are
consolidated with those of the Company, then, in respect of such period, all such
Financial Statements will be the consolidated and consolidating financial statements
of the Company and all such consolidated Subsidiaries.

               (d) Forecast. As soon as available, but in no event later than
December 31 of each year, a budget and forecast for the fiscal year beginning on
January 1 of the next calendar year, including a profit and loss statement,

after preparation, any revisions thereto, in each case for review by the Investors
and in a format approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.

               (e) Other Information. Upon the reasonable request of an Investor, the
Company will reasonably promptly deliver to Investor other information and data, not
proprietary in nature (in the good-faith judgment of the Company), pertaining to its
business, financial and corporate affairs to the extent that such delivery will not
violate any then applicable laws and any contracts of the Company with third
persons. The Company will permit any person designated by an Investor in writing,
at the expense of that Investor, to visit and inspect any of the properties of the
Company, including its books of account, and to discuss its affairs, finances, and
accounts with the Company’s officers or directors, all at such reasonable times and
upon reasonable notice and as often as that Investor may reasonably request, all in
a manner consistent with the reasonable security and confidentiality needs of the
Company; provided, however, that the Company shall be under no such
obligation: (i) with respect to information deemed in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Company to be proprietary; or (ii) if the Company’s Board of
Directors reasonably believes such visit, inspection, or discussion would violate
applicable laws or any contract with third persons. Nothing in this Section 5.1
shall be deemed to limit, or to be in derogation of, any Investor’s inspection
rights under Section 1701.37 of the Ohio General Corporation Law.

     Section 5.2 Small Business Administration.

               (a) On an ongoing basis on and after the Closing Date, for so long as Walnut
beneficially owns shares of New Class B Preferred or Common Stock in

 

- 22 -

the Company, the Company will use reasonable efforts to complete any forms and
provide any non-confidential information that may be reasonably required by the
Small Business Administration (“SBA”) in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

               (b) In addition to any other rights granted hereunder, the Company shall grant
Walnut and the SBA access to the Company’s books and records for the purpose of
verifying the use of such proceeds in verifying the certification made by the
Company and the SBA Forms delivered by the Company prior to the Closing and for the
purpose of determining whether the principal business activities of the Company
continue to constitute “eligible business activities” (within the meaning of the SBA
Regulations).

               (c) Upon the occurrence of a transaction or series of transactions that
constitutes a Regulatory Violation (as defined below) where the representatives of
Walnut on the Company’s Board of Directors opposed (in Board votes) the transaction
or series of transactions and warned the Company that a Regulatory Violation might
occur, in addition to any other rights or remedies to which it may be entitled
(whether under this Agreement, the Shareholders Agreement, the New Articles or
otherwise), Walnut shall have the right, to the extent required under the SBA
Regulations, to demand in writing that the Company shall cure such Regulatory
Violation, and if such Regulatory Violation cannot be cured in a timely manner, to
repurchase all of the outstanding New Class B Preferred owned by Walnut at a price
equal to the purchase price paid for such securities hereunder plus all declared and
unpaid dividends or distributions thereon by delivering written notice of such
demand to the Company. The Company shall pay, to the extent permitted by law, the
purchase price for such New Class B Preferred by a cashier’s or certified check or
by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to Walnut within ninety (90)
days after the Company’s receipt of the demand notice and, upon such payment, Walnut
shall deliver the certificates or other instruments evidencing the New Class B
Preferred being repurchased by the Company duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied
by duly executed forms of assignment free of any liens or adverse claims. For
purposes of this Agreement, “Regulatory Violation” means a change in the principal
business activity of the Company and any “ineligible business activity” (within the
meaning of Title 13, Code of Federal Regulations §107.720).

               (d) In the event that Walnut reasonably determines that it has a Regulatory
Problem (as defined below), Walnut shall have the right to transfer its New Class B
Preferred to an accredited investor (as defined in the regulations promulgated under
the ‘33 Act), without regard to any restriction on transfer set forth in this
Agreement, the Shareholders Agreement or the New Articles (provided that the
transferee agrees to become a party to the Shareholders Agreement), and the Company
shall take all reasonable actions as are required by Walnut in order to: (i)
effectuate and facilitate any transfer by Walnut of any New

 

- 23 -

Class B Preferred then held by Walnut to any such person; (ii) permit Walnut
(or any of its Affiliates) to exchange all or any portion of any voting security
then held by it on a share-for-share basis for share of a non-voting security of the
Company, which non-voting security shall be identical in all respects to the voting
security exchanged for it, except that it shall be non-voting and shall be
convertible into a voting security on such terms as are reasonably requested by
Walnut in light of regulatory considerations then prevailing; (iii) continue and
preserve the respective allocations of the voting interests with respect to the
Company arising out of Walnut’s ownership of voting securities before the transfers
and amendments referred to above (including entering into such additional agreements
as are reasonably requested by Walnut to permit any Persons designated by Walnut to
exercise any voting power that is relinquished by Walnut); and (iv) at the expense
of Walnut, promptly amend this Agreement, the Shareholders Agreement, the Articles
and related agreements and instruments to effectuate and reflect the foregoing. For
purposes of this Agreement, a “Regulatory Problem” means any set of facts or
circumstances wherein it has been asserted by any Governmental Authority (or any
Investor that is an SBIC reasonably believes that there is a substantial risk of
such assertion) that Walnut is not entitled to hold, or exercise any significant
rights with respect to, the New Class B Preferred. Walnut represents and warrants
to the Company that it is not aware of a Regulatory Problem applicable to it as of
the date of this Agreement.

     Section 5.3 Use of Proceeds. 

     The Company shall use the proceeds of the sale of the New Class B Preferred hereunder solely
for the acquisitions described on Schedule 5.3 (which acquisitions are subject to the approval of
the Company’s Board of Directors, the approving majority of which must include both Walnut
Directors), expansion of the Company’s business and general working capital, as set forth in the
SBA Forms.

     Section 5.4 Rule 144. 

     The Investors recognize that the provisions of Rule 144 under the ‘33 Act are not presently
applicable to securities of the Company. The Company covenants that: (a) at all times after the
Company first becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the ‘34 Act,
the Company will comply with the current public information requirements of Rule 144(c)(1) under
the ‘33 Act; and (b) at all such times as Rule 144 is available for use by the Investors, the
Company will furnish the Investors or any Holder upon request with all information within the
possession of the Company required for the preparation and filing of Form 144.

documentation proprietary to any former employer; (ii) protect, by maintenance of
secrecy to the extent appropriate, all technical and business information developed
by and belonging to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which has not been
patented; (iii) cause to be patented all technological information developed by and
belonging to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, which, in the opinion of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries and its counsel, is patentable and is best
protected by patenting; and (iv) cause each person who becomes an officer of or
consultant to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to execute an agreement, in
form and substance acceptable to the Investors and their counsel, relating to
matters of nondisclosure.

               (b) Licenses and Trademarks. The Company shall use reasonable
commercial efforts to own, possess and maintain all patents, trademarks, service
marks, trade names, copyrights and licenses necessary or useful in the conduct of
its business and the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

               (c) Other Agreements. The members of the Executive Management Team
shall, as of the date of this Agreement, have entered into agreements for the
benefit of the Investors relating to matters of corporate opportunities and a
limited non-competition covenant, all in the form attached hereto and incorporated
herein as Schedule 5.5.

     Section 5.6 Liability Insurance; D&O Insurance; Charter Indemnity Provisions.

     The Company will maintain in full force and effect a policy or policies of standard
comprehensive general liability insurance and a directors and officers liability insurance policy,
each underwritten by a reputable and financially stable U.S. insurance company insuring the
Company’s properties and business and officers and directors against such losses and risks, and in
such amounts, as are adequate for its business and as are customarily carried by entities of
similar size engaged in the same or similar business. Such policies shall include property loss
insurance policies, with extended coverage, sufficient in amount to allow the replacement of any of
its tangible properties which might be damaged or destroyed by the risks or perils normally covered
by such policies. The Company’s Board of Directors, including Walnut’s Board Members and the Board
observers designated by Walnut shall be covered by the directors’ and officers’ insurance policy.
Pursuant to provisions in the Company’s New Articles and/or Regulations (which provisions shall be
in form and substance acceptable to the Investors and their counsel), the Company shall also
indemnify the members of the Company’s Board of Directors and advance expenses to such persons to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

     Section 5.7 Taxes and Assessments. 

     The Company will pay and discharge before the same become delinquent and before penalties
accrue thereon, all taxes, assessments and governmental charges upon or against the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective properties, and all other material

 

- 25 -

liabilities at any time existing, except to the extent and so long as: (a) the same are being
contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings in such manner as not to cause any material
adverse effect upon the financial condition of the Company or the loss of any right of redemption
from any sale thereunder; and (b) the Company shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves
with respect thereto.

     Section 5.8 Maintenance of Entity. 

     The Company will preserve, renew and keep, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to

at its expense, will promptly execute and deliver promptly to the Investors upon request all such
other and further reasonable documents, agreements and instruments in compliance with or pursuant

               (a) The Company hereby grants to the Investors a right of first refusal to
purchase, on a pro rata basis, all or any part of New Securities (as defined below)
which the Company may, from time to time, propose to sell and issue subject to the
terms and conditions set forth below. Each Investor’s pro rata share, for purposes
of this Section 5.13, shall equal a fraction, the numerator of which is the number
of shares of Common Stock then held by that Investor or issuable upon conversion of
New Class B Preferred then held by that Investor or upon the exercise of any other
convertible securities, options, rights, or warrants then held by that Investor, and
the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock then
outstanding plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion or exercise of then outstanding New Class A Preferred, New Class B
Preferred, and other convertible securities, options, rights or warrants
(i.e., calculated on a fully-diluted basis, taking into account all
management options, whether now existing or proposed).

               (b) “New Securities” shall mean any capital stock of the Company

New Class A Preferred to be issued in connection with the acquisitions set forth on
Schedule 5.3, or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such shares
of New Class A Preferred or of New Class B Preferred; (ii) securities offered to
the public pursuant to a Public Offering; (iii) securities issued as a result of any
stock split, stock dividend or reclassification of Common Stock, distributable on a

               (c) If the Company intends to issue New Securities, it shall give the Investors
written notice of such intention, describing the type of New Securities to be
issued, the price thereof and the general terms upon which the Company

 

- 27 -

proposes to effect such issuance. The Investors shall have thirty (30) days
from the date of any such notice to agree to purchase all or part of its pro rata
share of such New Securities for the price and upon the general terms and conditions
specified in the Company’s notice by giving written notice to the Company stating
the quantity of New Securities to be so purchased.

               (d) If any Investor fails to exercise the foregoing right of first refusal with
respect to any New Securities within such thirty (30)-day period, the Company may
within one hundred eighty (180) days thereafter sell any or all of such New
Securities not agreed to be purchased by the Investors, at a price and upon general
terms no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the notice given
to the Investors pursuant to paragraph (c) above. In the event the Company has not
sold such New Securities within such one hundred eighty (180)-day period, the
Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without first offering
such New Securities to the Investors in the manner provided above.

     The holders of the New Class A Preferred shall have comparable preemptive rights under and
pursuant to the Company’s New Articles. In the event of any conflict (including any conflict as to
scope) between the Company’s New Articles and the provisions of this Section 5.13, the provisions
of the Company’s New Articles shall govern and prevail. A party having preemptive rights under
multiple documents may avail itself, himself or herself of such preemptive rights under one (1)
(but not more than one (1)) such document.

     Section 5.14 Auditor. 

     The Company shall retain a firm of certified public accountants of established national or

and expense, on the lives of the members of the Executive Management Team and on the lives of the
members of key managers of the Subsidiaries (“Subsidiary Key Persons”). The members of the
Executive Management Team and the Subsidiary Key Persons shall fully cooperate in obtaining such
insurance.

     Section 6.1 Power and Authority. 

     Such has full power and authority and has taken all required corporate, partnership or other
action necessary to permit it to execute and deliver this Agreement, and all other documents or
instruments required by this Agreement, and to carry out the terms of this Agreement and of all
such other documents or instruments.

     Section 6.2 Purchase for Investment. 

     Such Investor is purchasing the New Class B Preferred and any Common Stock into which such New
Class B Preferred may be converted for investment, for its own account and not with a view to
distribution thereof, except for transfers permitted hereunder. Such Investor understands that the
New Class B Preferred and any Common Stock received upon conversion of the New Class B Preferred
must be held indefinitely unless it is registered under the ‘33 Act or an exemption from such
registration becomes available, and that the New Class B Preferred and any Common Stock received
upon conversion thereof may only be transferred as provided in this Agreement and in the
Shareholders Agreement.

     Section 6.3 Financial Matters. 

     Such Investor represents and warrants to the Company that it understands that the purchase of
the New Class B Preferred, as the case may be, involves substantial risk and that its financial
condition and investments are such that it is in a financial position to hold the New Class B
Preferred, as the case may be, for an indefinite period of time and to bear the economic risk of,
and withstand a complete loss of, such New Class B Preferred, as the case may be. In addition, by
virtue of its expertise, the advice available to it and previous investment experience, such
Investor has extensive knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, investments,
securities and private placements and the capability to evaluate the merits and risks of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Such Investor represents that it is an “accredited
investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the ‘33 Act.

Agreement to the contrary, but subject to the other provisions of this Article VIII, the Company
shall indemnify, defend, and hold the Investors (and each of them), the Investors’ respective
directors, partners, officers and Affiliates, and each of such partners’ and Affiliates’ officers,
directors, partners, employees, representatives and Affiliates, (collectively, the “Investor
Indemnitees”) harmless from and against, and shall reimburse them for, any and all demands,

 

- 32 -

claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses whatsoever (including, without
limitation, any fines, penalties, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred by Investor
Indemnitees in investigating or defending any of the foregoing, and other reasonable expenses
incurred investigating or defending any of the foregoing or enforcing this Agreement) (individually
a “Loss” and collectively “Losses”) sustained or incurred by an Investor Indemnitee
resulting from or arising in connection with: (a) any material inaccuracy in or breach of any of
the representations or warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement or the Schedules or
Exhibits hereto or in the documents delivered to the Investors pursuant hereto; or (b) any breach
by the Company of any of its covenants, obligations, or agreements contained herein or in the New
Articles, or the Shareholders Agreement, in each case whether or not such Loss results from a third
party claim.

     Section 8.2 Indemnification by the Investors. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, but subject to the other provisions of this Article VIII, the Investors,
severally and not jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend, and hold the Company and its
officers, directors, employees, representatives and Affiliates, and each of the Company’s
Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, partners, representatives and Affiliates (collectively,
the “Company Indemnitees”) harmless from and against, and shall reimburse them for, any and
all Losses sustained or incurred by a Company Indemnitee resulting or arising from: (a) any
material inaccuracy in or breach of any of such Investor’s representations or warranties set forth
in this Agreement; or (b) any breach of any covenant, obligation or agreement of such Investor
contained in this Agreement, or the Shareholders Agreement, in each case whether or not such Loss
results from a third party claim.

     Section 8.3 Indemnification Notice. In the event that: (i) an event occurs which
gives a Person a right to indemnification hereunder; or (ii) any third party claim is asserted
against a Person with respect to which such Person is entitled to indemnification hereunder, such
Person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, within sixty (60) days of the later of the
occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim or the date that the indemnified party learned of
such claim (provided, however, that if a claim arises by virtue of litigation, then in no event
less than ten (10) days prior to the date in which an appearance or answer is due, whichever is
earlier), notify the Person obligated to indemnify it (the “Indemnifying Party”) of such
claim by delivery of a written notice describing the claim and indicating the basis for
indemnification hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the
Indemnified Party within ten (10) days after receipt from the Indemnified Party of notice of such
claim, to conduct at its expenses the defense against such claim in its own name, or if necessary
in the name of the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party fails to give such
notice, it shall be deemed to have elected not to conduct the defense of the subject claim, and in
such event the Indemnified Party shall have the right to conduct such defense and, only with the
prior consent of the Indemnifying Party which shall not be unreasonably withheld, to compromise and
settle the claim. In the event that the Indemnifying Party does elect to conduct the defense of
the subject claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with and make available to the
Indemnifying Party such assistance and materials as may be reasonably requested by it, all at the
expense of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have the right at its expense to
participate in the defense, provided that the Indemnified Party will have the right to compromise
and settle the claim only with the

 

- 33 -

prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. Any settlement to which the Indemnifying
Party shall have consented in writing shall conclusively be deemed to be an obligation with respect
to which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder.

     Section 8.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and
warranties made by the parties in or pursuant to this Agreement or in any document delivered
pursuant hereto shall be deemed to have been made as of the Closing Date. The representations and
warranties of the parties will survive the Closing until the third anniversary of the Closing Date.
The covenants of the parties shall survive the Closing for the periods indicated in this Agreement
or, if not so indicated, indefinitely.
