RE:   Proposed $35,000,000 in Senior Secured Credit Facilities
Dear Steve:
It is our understanding that The O’Gara Group, Inc. (the “Company” or the “Borrower”) proposes to undertake the Transaction described in the Summary of Terms and Conditions (the “Summary”) attached hereto and has requested that PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC Bank”), provide a portion of the $35,000,000 in senior secured credit facilities consisting of (i) a revolving credit facility in an amount not to exceed $25,000,000 and (ii) a term loan facility of up to $10,000,000 (the “Credit Facilities”) and PNC Capital Markets LLC (“PNC Capital Markets” or the “Arranger”) arrange and syndicate the Credit Facilities (the “Financing”) for the proposed Transaction.
We are pleased to inform you of (i) PNC Bank’s commitment to provide $30,000,000 and (ii) First Commonwealth Bank’s (“First Commonwealth” and together with PNC Bank, the “Banks”) commitment to provide $5,000,000 of the Financing described in the attached Summary, subject to the terms and conditions referred to in this letter and the Summary. In addition, PNC Capital Markets is pleased to inform you of its agreement to act as the lead arranger and bookrunner, and PNC Bank is pleased to inform you of its agreement to act as the Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”) for the Financing, in each case subject to the terms and conditions referred to in this letter, the Summary and the Fee Letter (dated as of this date (the “Fee Letter”). This Commitment Letter (as defined below), Fee Letter and Summary are being provided in replacement of that certain commitment letter, fee letter and summary dated October 24, 2008, which superseded that certain commitment letter, fee letter and summary dated August 21, 2008.
The Summary includes a description of the principal terms of the proposed credit facilities connected with the Financing, and is intended as a framework for the documentation and as a basis for further discussion of the Financing’s terms, as appropriate. The Financing will be documented in a definitive credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) reasonably satisfactory to all parties hereto and other agreements, instruments, certificates, and documents called for by the Credit Agreement or which the Arranger or the Banks may otherwise require (collectively, the “Credit Documents”), to be delivered at the closing of the Financing (the “Closing”). The Credit Documents shall prevail over the terms of this letter; provided, however, that the provisions of this letter regarding syndication of the Financing shall survive the execution and delivery of the Credit Documents.

 


 

The Banks’ obligations are conditioned on the execution and delivery of the Credit Documents in form and content reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Arranger and PNC Bank. Because not all of the terms can be set forth in the Summary, a failure by PNC Bank or the Company to agree on the definitive terms of the Credit Documents will not constitute a breach of this commitment. The obligations of the Arranger and the Banks pursuant to this letter are also subject to acceptance by the Company as provided below and the statutory and other regulatory requirements under which PNC Bank and the Arranger are governed.
In addition to the terms and conditions set forth in the Summary, the Banks’ commitments to provide the proposed Financing are further subject to: (i) PNC Bank’s satisfaction with the organization and legal structure, significant contracts, and tax, labor, environmental, ERISA, and other matters relating to the Company and its subsidiaries, both before and after consummation of the Transaction; (ii) there being no material adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise), business, operations, properties or prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries or of the Pending Acquisitions (as defined in the Summary) since December 31, 2007; (iii) the accuracy and completeness of all representations made by or on behalf of the Company to the lenders and all information furnished by or on behalf of the Company to the lenders (including the Arranger and Administrative Agent); and (iv) the Company’s compliance with the terms of this Commitment Letter, including, without limitation, the payment in full of all reasonable fees, expenses and other amounts payable under this Commitment Letter. To assist in due diligence, the Company agrees that the Arranger or Administrative Agent may, in their discretion, request further due diligence items from the Company and retain experts or consultants in connection with the Financing.
PNC Capital Markets will manage all aspects of the syndication of the Financing in consultation with the Company, including the timing of all offers to potential lenders, the determination of the amounts offered to potential lenders, the acceptance of engagements of the lenders and the compensation to be provided to the lenders.
The Company shall take all action as the Arranger may reasonably request to assist the Arranger in forming a syndicate acceptable to it and the Company. The Company’s assistance in forming such a syndicate shall include, but not be limited to, (i) making senior management and representatives of the Company available to participate in information meetings with potential lenders at such times and places as the Arranger may reasonably request; (ii) using its best efforts to ensure that the syndication efforts benefit from the Company’s lending relationships; and (iii) providing the Arranger with all information reasonably requested by them to successfully complete the syndication.
PNC Bank shall act as the Administrative Agent for the Financing and PNC Capital Markets shall act as sole lead arranger and bookrunner. No additional agents, co-agents, arrangers or bookrunners will be appointed, or other titles conferred, without the consent of PNC Capital Markets.
This letter is issued in reliance on the information provided to the Administrative Agent and the Arranger by the Company in connection with the Company’s request for the Financing and the information in any supporting document or material. The Company represents and warrants that (i) all written information (other than financial projections referred to in clause (ii) below) that it has made or will hereafter make available to the Administrative Agent or the Arranger or any potential lender by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the Financing and other transactions contemplated hereby is and will, on the date so provided, be complete and correct in all material respects and does not and will not, on the date so provided, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading in light of circumstances under which the statements were made and (ii) all financial projections, if any, that have been or will be prepared by the Company and made available to the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any potential lender have been or will be, on the date provided, prepared in good faith based upon reasonable assumptions (it being

2


 

understood that such projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, and that no assurance can be given that the projections will be realized). The Company agrees to promptly supplement the information supplied by it and the projections supplied by it from time to time so that all such information and projections as supplemented shall be complete and correct in all material respects and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading in light of circumstances under which the statements were made. The Administrative Agent may terminate this engagement if there has been any material misrepresentation or material inaccuracy in the information heretofore provided or any failure to include material information necessary in order to make the information heretofore provided complete and correct in all material respects.
This Commitment Letter may not be assigned by the Company and no rights of the Company hereunder may be transferred and no obligations may be delegated without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or PNC Capital Markets. The commitment of PNC Bank shall be ratably and irrevocably reduced by the amount of the commitment from any prospective lender to provide a portion of the Financing, effective upon delivery of written evidence of such lender’s commitment to the Company.
No modification or waiver of any of the terms and conditions of this engagement will be valid and binding unless agreed to in writing by the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Arranger. When accepted, this letter (the “Commitment Letter”), including the attached Summary, and the fee letter dated as of this date (the “Fee Letter”) shall constitute the entire agreement between the Administrative Agent and PNC Capital Markets on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, concerning the Financing and replaces all prior understandings, statements and negotiations. The Summary and the Fee Letter are integral parts of this Commitment Letter.
The Administrative Agent’s commitment hereunder will expire on January 9, 2009, unless on or before that date the Company signs and returns the enclosed copy of this Commitment Letter along with the Fee Letter and the Acceptance Fee (receipt of which is hereby acknowledged) as specified in the Fee Letter. Once accepted, the Administrative Agent’s commitment under this letter will expire on February 17, 2009 if the Financing has not closed on or before that date. These expiration dates may only be extended in writing by the Administrative Agent and PNC Capital Markets.
The remainder of this letter sets forth our mutual understanding as to the services to be performed by the Arranger in syndicating the Financing, the obligations of the Company, compensation to PNC Bank and PNC Capital Markets well as the general terms and conditions of PNC Capital Markets’ engagement (the “Engagement”) and the engagement of the Administrative Agent.

PNC Capital Markets and PNC Bank shall be reimbursed from time to time by the Company upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (whether incurred before or after the date hereof) which they may incur while performing services hereunder, including in connection with the negotiation, preparation, due diligence, execution, syndication, delivery and enforcement of this letter, the Credit Documents and other documentation and any assignment or participation of PNC Bank’s interests herein.
