Section 2.3 Transfer Legends and Restrictions.

The transfer of the shares of New Class B Preferred purchased hereunder by the Investors (collectively, “Shares”) will be restricted in accordance with 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 2.3 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 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 2.3. 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 2.3 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 2.3, 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 2.3. 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 2.3 and the provisions of Sections 4.2(c) or 4.2(d) hereof, the provisions of Sections 4.2(c) or 4.2(d) shall prevail and control. Nothing in this Section 2.3 shall be deemed to be in derogation of, or to be excepted from, the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Shareholders Agreement.

ARTICLE III
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 also at and as of the Closing:

Section 3.1 Corporate Existence.

The Company is a corporation organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Ohio. The Company has all requisite power and authority to conduct its business and to own its properties as now conducted and owned and as proposed to be conducted and owned. Schedule 3.1-1 attached hereto sets forth a true, complete and correct copy of the Existing Articles, as amended hereunder. Schedule 3.1-2 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 3.2 Subsidiaries.

Section 3.2 of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth a list of all Subsidiaries of the Company. Each Subsidiary is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (or the local law equivalent) under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation as stated on the said Section 3.2 of the Disclosure Schedule; has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business, as now being conducted, and is duly qualified and in good standing (or the local law equivalent) as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions in which it is required to be so qualified, except where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing would materially adversely affect the business assets, liabilities, prospects or financial or other condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. Each Subsidiary is wholly owned by the Company and no person other than the Company has any “phantom equity” or similar rights or interests in any of the Subsidiaries.

Section 3.3 Power and Authority.

The Company has all requisite power and authority, and has taken all required corporate and other action necessary (including shareholder approval) to permit it, to own and hold properties to carry on its business, to execute and deliver this Agreement, to issue and sell shares of the New B-6 Series of the New Class B Preferred as herein provided, and otherwise to carry out the terms of this Agreement and all other documents, instruments, or transactions required to be executed, delivered or performed by the Company by this Agreement. None of such actions will violate any provision of the Company’s Existing Articles, the Existing Articles, as amended hereunder, or Regulations or result in the breach of or constitute a default under any agreement or instrument to which the Company is a 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 violation of this Agreement. The issuance of shares of New B-6 Series of New Class B Preferred hereunder does not give any person rights to terminate any material agreements with the Company or otherwise to exercise material rights against the Company.

Section 3.4 Ownership and Status of Capital Stock.

(a) Section 3.4 of the Disclosure Schedule is a capitalization table that sets forth the capital stock that the Company is authorized to issue, has issued, has outstanding, has reserved for issuance upon conversion of the New Class A Preferred and New Class B Preferred into Common Stock and has reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants. All outstanding shares of Common Stock, New Class A Preferred and New Class B Preferred are, and upon issuance and payment therefor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, all of the outstanding shares of New Class B Preferred to be issued under this Agreement will be, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Upon conversion of any shares of the New B-6 Series of New Class B Preferred issued hereunder, the shares of Common Stock issuable in connection therewith will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. All outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company have been issued in full compliance with applicable laws. No shares of Common Stock, New Class A Preferred or New Class B Preferred are held in the Company’s treasury. The Common Stock, the New Class A Preferred and the New Class B Preferred are not and will not be entitled to cumulative voting rights, preemptive rights, anti-dilution rights and so-called registration rights under the ‘33 Act, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Investment and Recapitalization Agreement dated as of July 14, 2006 (the “2006 Recapitalization Agreement”), the Shareholders Agreement and the Existing Articles, as amended hereunder. The Common Stock, the New Class A Preferred and New Class B Preferred have the preferences, voting powers, qualifications and special or relative rights or privileges set forth in this Agreement, the Shareholders Agreement and the Existing Articles, as amended hereunder.

(b) Except as set forth on Section 3.4 of the Disclosure Schedule or as provided to the Investors in this Agreement, there are: (x) no outstanding options, offers, warrants, conversion rights, contracts, or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase from the Company, or contracts obligating the Company to issue, transfer, or sell (whether formal or informal, written or oral, firm or contingent), Common Stock, New Class A Preferred and New Class B Preferred or other capital stock of the Company (whether debt, equity or a combination thereof) or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, New Class A Preferred and New Class B Preferred or other capital stock or “phantom” stock or similar interests; and (y) no contracts or other understandings (whether formal or informal, written or oral, firm or contingent) which require or may require the Company to repurchase any shares of its Common Stock. Other than pursuant to a transaction contemplated by, and in accordance with, Section 4.3 of the Disclosure Schedule and Section 4.3 of this Agreement, there is, and immediately upon consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby there will be, no agreement, with respect to the issuance or sale or voting of any shares of capital stock of the Company (whether outstanding or issuable upon conversion or exercise of outstanding securities) except for the offering and sale of shares of New B-6 Series of New Class B Preferred pursuant to this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the Existing Articles, as amended hereunder. The Company has no obligation to register any of its presently outstanding securities or any of its securities which may thereafter be issued under the ‘33 Act.

(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.

(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 2006 Recapitalization Agreement, the Shareholders Agreement, the Articles, as amended hereunder, 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.

(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.

Such dividends shall be cumulative (cumulating from the date of issuance of such shares of Preferred Stock on a day-to-day basis on the basis of a 360-day year), shall be compounded annually and shall be payable in arrears upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event (as defined in Section 3 of Part Two of this Article Fourth (such date being herein referred to as the “Dividend Payment Date”). Dividends shall be paid to the holders of record of the New Class A Preferred Stock and New Class B Preferred Stock, as their names appear on the share register of the Corporation on the corresponding record date for the distribution.

(b) If, on any Dividend Payment Date, the holders of the New Class A Preferred Stock and New Class B Preferred Stock shall not have received the full dividends provided for in the other provisions of this Section 2, then such dividends shall cumulate, whether or not earned or declared, with additional dividends thereon until such dividends shall be paid. Unpaid dividends shall cumulate on a day-to-day basis and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year.

(c) So long as any shares of Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, without the written consent of the holders of not less than a majority of the shares of New Class A Preferred Stock then outstanding, all series voting together as a single class, and the written consent of the holders of not less than fifty five percent (55%) of the shares of New Class B Preferred Stock then outstanding, all series voting together as a single class, neither the Corporation nor any Subsidiary or affiliate of the Corporation shall: (i) declare or pay on any Junior Stock any dividend whatsoever, whether in cash, property or otherwise; or (ii) except as set forth in Section 3 of Part Two of this Article Fourth, make any distribution on any Junior Stock, or purchase or redeem any Junior Stock, or pay or make available any monies for a sinking fund for the purchase or redemption of any Junior Stock.

3. Distributions Upon Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.

subdivision or split-up, combination or similar event affecting the Preferred Stock or the Common Stock), with the New Class A Preferred Stock being entitled to be paid the applicable New A Series Subscription Price and with the New Class B Preferred Stock being entitled to be paid the applicable New B Series Subscription Price; plus (ii) second, any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to such date; plus (iii) third, to be paid an amount equal to the product of: (x) the balance of the proceeds of the Liquidation Event; and (y) the fully-diluted ownership percentage (excluding out-of-the-money options and warrants) represented by the Preferred Stock, treating the Preferred Stock on an “as-converted” basis. If and after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of the Preferred Stock of all amounts to which such holders shall be entitled, the remaining assets and funds of the Corporation shall be distributed among the holders of Junior Stock, according to their respective shares and priorities. If, upon any such liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the net assets of the Corporation distributable among the holders of all outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment in full to such holder of the preferential amounts to which they are entitled, then the entire net assets of the Corporation shall be distributed among the holders of the Preferred Stock ratably in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.

(b) Each of the following events shall be deemed to be a “Liquidation Event” for purposes of this Section 3: (i) the acquisition of the Corporation, or of a controlling equity interest in the Corporation, 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 the Corporation, a reorganization, merger, consolidation, mandatory share exchange or conversion transaction), other than a transaction or series of related transactions in which the holders of the voting securities of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior to such transaction or the first of the series of related transactions 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 the Corporation or such surviving or resulting entity outstanding immediately after such transaction or the last of the series of related transactions; or (ii) a sale, lease or other conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation in one (1) transaction or in a series of related transactions.

4. Redemption by the Corporation. For so long as any shares of any series of New Class B Preferred Stock remain outstanding, none of the New Class A Preferred Stock shall be redeemed, in whole or in part, and neither the Corporation nor any affiliate or Subsidiary of the Corporation shall purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of New Class A Preferred Stock prior to the date on which all of the shares of all series of the New Class B Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed. Walnut, a substantial holder of the New Class B Preferred Stock, has stated its desire to exit its investment in the New Class B Preferred Stock at a point in the future, preferably on or around May 31, 2009. The Corporation acknowledges this desire and will assist Walnut in the sale of its New Class B Preferred Stock provided that such sale does not harm the holders of the New Class A Preferred or the Common Stock or the other holders of New Class B Preferred Stock and does not violate any covenants of the Corporation in any Corporation debt instruments that may be in place at such time.

5. Conversion Rights. The Preferred Stock shall be convertible into Common Stock as follows:

(a) Optional Conversion. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 5, the holder of any shares of Preferred Stock shall have the right at such holder’s option, at any time or from time to time, to convert any of such shares of Preferred Stock into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price applicable to such class and series of Preferred Stock (i.e., the applicable New A Series Conversion Price or the applicable New B Series Conversion Price, as the case may be) in effect on the Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined) upon the terms hereinafter set forth.

(b) Automatic Conversion. Each outstanding share of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted, without any further act of the Corporation or its stockholders, into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price for such Preferred Stock then in effect upon the closing of an underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the offering and sale of the Common Stock for the account of the Corporation in which the gross proceeds to the Corporation are equal to or in excess of Twenty Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) (“Qualified Public Offering”).

(c) Conversion Price. Each share of Preferred Stock shall be converted into a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing (i) the applicable Subscription Price, by (ii) the applicable Conversion Price in effect on the Conversion Date. The applicable New A Series Conversion Prices and the applicable New B Series Conversion Prices shall each be subject to adjustment as set forth in subsection (f) below. No payment or adjustment shall be made for any dividends on the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion. Upon any such conversion, the holders of Preferred Stock shall also be entitled to payment, in cash, of all accrued but unpaid dividends on shares of Preferred Stock.

Corporation shall issue and deliver to or upon the written order of such holder a certificate or check or cash with respect to any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock as provided in subsection (e) below. Subject to the provisions of subsection (f)(vii) below, the person in whose name the certificate or certificates for Common Stock are to be issued shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Common Stock on the applicable Conversion Date. Upon conversion of only a portion of the number of shares covered by a certificate representing shares of Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion (in the case of conversion pursuant to subsection (a) above), the Corporation shall issue and deliver to or upon the written order of the holder of the certificate so surrendered for conversion, at the expense of the Corporation, a new certificate covering the number of shares of Preferred Stock representing the unconverted portion of the certificate so surrendered.

(e) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip shall be issued upon conversion of shares of Preferred Stock. If more than one (1) share of Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at any one (1) time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Preferred Stock so surrendered. Instead of any fractional shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any shares of Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fractional interest in an amount equal to that fractional interest of the then Current Market Price.

(f) Conversion Price Adjustments. The applicable New Series A Conversion Prices and the applicable New Series B Conversion Prices shall each be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

(i) Common Stock Issued at Less Than the Conversion Price. If the Corporation shall issue any Common Stock other than Excluded Stock (as hereinafter defined) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the applicable Conversion Price (i.e., the applicable New Series A Conversion Price and the applicable New Series B Conversion Price, as the case may be) in effect immediately prior to such issuance, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall immediately (except as provided below) be reduced to the per share price of the shares issued in that issuance, which shall be determined by dividing the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for the shares issued in that issuance by the aggregate number of shares so issued in that issuance.

For the purposes of any adjustment of the applicable Conversion Price pursuant to clause (i), the following provisions shall be applicable:

(A) Cash. In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for cash, the amount of the consideration received by the Corporation shall be deemed to be the amount of the cash proceeds received by the Corporation for such Common Stock before deducting therefrom any discounts, commissions, taxes or other expenses allowed, paid or incurred by the Corporation for any underwriting or otherwise in connection with the issuance and sale thereof.

(B) Consideration Other Than Cash. In the case of the issuance of Common Stock (otherwise than upon the conversion of shares of capital stock or other securities of the Corporation) for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, including securities acquired in exchange therefor (other than securities by their terms so exchangeable), the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be fair value thereof as determined by the Board of Directors, irrespective of any accounting treatment; provided that such fair value as determined by the Board of Directors shall not exceed the aggregate Current Market Price of the shares of Common Stock being issued as of the date the Board of Directors authorizes the issuance of such shares.

(C) Options and Convertible Securities. In the case of the issuance of: (i) options, warrants or other rights to purchase or acquire Common Stock (whether or not at the time exercisable); (ii) securities by their terms convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (whether or not at the time so convertible or exchangeable); or options, warrants or rights to purchase such Participating or exchangeable securities (whether or not at the time exercisable):

(1) the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of such options, warrants or other rights to purchase or acquire Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such options, warrants or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration (determined in the manner provided in subclauses (A) and (B) above), if any, received by the Corporation upon the issuance of such options, warrants or rights plus the minimum purchase price provided in such options, warrants or rights for the Common Stock covered thereby;

(2) the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of or in exchange for any such convertible or exchangeable securities or upon the exercise of options, warrants or other rights to purchase or acquire such convertible or exchangeable securities and the subsequent conversion or exchange thereof, shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such securities were issued or such options, warrants or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration, if any, received by the Corporation for any such securities and related options, warrants or rights (excluding any cash received on account of accrued interest or accrued dividends), plus the additional consideration (determined in the manner provided in subclauses (A) and (B) above), if any, to be received by the Corporation upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or upon the exercise of any related options, warrants or rights to purchase or acquire such convertible or exchangeable securities and the subsequent conversion or exchange thereof;

(3) on any change in the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of any such options, warrants or rights or conversion or exchange of such convertible or exchangeable securities or any change in the consideration to be received by the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion or exchange, including, but not limited to, a change resulting from the anti-dilution provisions thereof, the applicable Conversion Price as then in effect shall forthwith be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have been obtained had an adjustment been made upon the issuance of such options, warrants or rights not

exercised prior to such change or of such convertible or exchangeable securities not converted or exchanged prior to such change, upon the basis of such change;

(4) on the expiration or cancellation of any such options, warrants or rights or the termination of the right to convert or exchange such convertible or exchangeable securities, if the applicable Conversion Price shall have been adjusted upon the issuance thereof, that Conversion Price shall forthwith be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have been obtained had an adjustment been made upon the issuance of such options, warrants, rights or such convertible or exchangeable securities on the basis of the issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued upon the exercise of such options, warrants or rights or upon the conversion of exchange of such Participating or exchangeable securities; and

(5) if the applicable Conversion Price shall have been adjusted upon the issuance of any such options, warrants, rights or convertible or exchangeable securities, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made for that actual issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof;

provided, however, that no increase in the applicable Conversion Price shall be made pursuant to subclauses (1) or (2) of this subclause (C).

(ii) Excluded Stock. “Excluded Stock” shall mean: (A) shares of Common Stock issued or reserved for issuance by the Corporation as a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, or upon any subdivision or split-up of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, (B) shares of Common Stock issued or reserved for issuance by the Corporation upon conversion of shares of Preferred Stock; (C) shares of Common Stock to be issued to employees, consultants and advisors of the Corporation, whether pursuant to options, warrants or other rights, together with any such shares that are repurchased by the Corporation and reissued to any such employee, consultant or advisor, but only to the extent that such issuances are authorized pursuant to resolutions adopted by unanimous vote of the Board of Directors, including both directors designated by Walnut, and, if required, the Corporation’s shareholders; and (D) shares of New Class A Preferred Stock issued as compensation, including contingent, “earn-out” or deferred compensation, to the sellers of businesses acquired by the Corporation in acquisitions approved by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 5.3 of the Recapitalization Agreement or as contingent, “earn-out” or deferred compensation to sellers of businesses acquired by the Corporation in transactions consummated prior to July 14, 2006.

(iii) Stock Dividends, Subdivisions, Reclassifications or Combinations. If the Corporation shall: (A) declare a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of its Common Stock; (B) subdivide or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares; or (C) combine or reclassify the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that the holder of any shares of Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion after such date shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock which he would have owned or been entitled to receive had such Preferred

Stock been converted immediately prior to such date. Successive adjustments in the applicable Conversion Price shall be made whenever any event specified above shall occur.

(iv) Other Distributions. In case the Corporation shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of shares of its Common Stock: (A) of shares of any class other than its Common Stock; or (B) of evidence of indebtedness of the Corporation or any Subsidiary; or (C) of assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions, and dividends or distributions referred to in subsection (f)(iii) above); or (D) of rights or warrants (excluding those referred to in subsection (f)(i) above), in each such case the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be reduced immediately thereafter to the price determined by dividing: (1) an amount equal to the difference resulting from: (a) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date multiplied by the applicable Conversion Price per share on such record date, less (b) the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive) of said shares or evidences of indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to be so distributed, by: (2) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. In the event that such distribution is not so made, the applicable Conversion Price then in effect shall be readjusted, effective as of the date when the Board of Directors determines not to distribute such shares, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights or warrants, as the case may be, to that Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed.

(v) Consolidation, Merger, Sale, Lease and Conveyance. In case of any consolidation with or merger of the Corporation with or into another corporation, or in case of any sale, lease or conveyance to another corporation of the assets of the corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, each share of Preferred Stock shall after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance be convertible into the number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) to which the Common Stock issuable (at the time of such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance) upon conversion of such share of Preferred Stock would have been entitled upon such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance; and in any such case, if necessary the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the holders of the shares of Preferred Stock shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, to any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock.

(vi) Rounding of Calculations; Minimum Adjustment. All calculations under this subsection (f) shall be made to the nearest cent ($0.01) or to the nearest one hundredth (1/100^th) of a share, as the case may be. Any provision of this Section 5 to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the applicable Conversion Price shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than five cents ($0.05), but any such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereto shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate five cents ($0.05) or more.

(vii) Timing of Issuance of Additional Common Stock Upon Certain Adjustments. In any case in which the provisions of this subsection (f) shall require that an

adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event, the Corporation may defer until the occurrence of such event: (A) issuing to the holder of any share of Preferred Stock converted after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment; and (B) paying to such holder any amount of cash in lieu of a fractional share of Common Stock pursuant to subsection (e) above; provided that the Corporation upon request shall deliver to such holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing such holder’s right to receive such additional shares, and such cash, upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.

(g) No Impairment. The Corporation shall not, by amendment, restatement or modification of this Part Two of Article Fourth or any other provisions of these Third Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or any provisions of its Amended and Restated Regulations or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, merger, consolidation, mandatory share exchange, conversion transaction, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all of the provisions of this Section 5 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock against dilution or impairment.

(h) Current Market Price. The Current Market Price at any date shall mean, in the event the Common Stock is publicly traded, the average of the daily closing prices per share of Common Stock for thirty (30) consecutive trading days ending no more than fifteen (15) business days before such date (as adjusted for any stock dividend, split, combination or reclassification that took effect during such thirty (30) business day period). The closing price for each day shall be the last reported sale price regular way or in case no such reported sale takes place on such day, the average of the last closing bid and asked prices regular way, in either case on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading or if not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the closing sale price for such day reported by NASDAQ, if the Common Stock is traded over-the-counter and quoted in the National Market System or if the Common Stock is so traded, but not so quoted, the average of the closing reported bid and asked prices of the Common Stock as reported by NASDAQ or any comparable system or if the Common Stock is not listed on NASDAQ or any comparable system, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by two members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. selected from time to time by the Corporation for that purpose. If the Common Stock is not traded in such manner that the quotations referred to above are available for the period required hereunder, the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the fair value as determined by the Board of Directors, irrespective of any accounting treatment.

Conversion Price that shall be in effect after such adjustment, and the Corporation shall also cause a copy of such statement to be sent by mail, first class postage prepaid, to each holder of shares of Preferred Stock at its address appearing on the Corporation’s records. Each such statement shall be signed by the Corporation’s chief financial officer or its independent public accountants, if applicable. Where appropriate, such copy may be given in advance and may be included as part of a notice required to be mailed under the provisions of subsection (j) below.

(j) Notice to Holders. In the event the Corporation shall propose to take any action of the type described in clause (i) (but only if the action of the type described in clause (i) would result in an adjustment in the applicable Conversion Price), (iii), (iv) or (v) of subsection (f) above, the Corporation shall give notice to each holder of shares of Preferred Stock, in the manner set forth in subsection (h) above, which notice shall specify the record date, if any, with respect to any such action and the approximate date on which such action is to take place. Such notice shall also set forth such facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect of such action (to the extent such effect may be known at the date of such notice) on the applicable Conversion Price and the number, kind or class of shares or other securities or property which shall be deliverable upon conversion of shares of Preferred Stock. In the case of any action which would require the fixing of a record date, such notice shall be given at least ten (10) days prior to the date so fixed, and in case of all other action, such notice shall be given at least fifteen (15) days prior to the taking of such proposed action. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of any such action.

(k) Treasury Stock. For the purposes of this Section 5, the sale or other disposition of any Common Stock theretofore held in the Corporation’s treasury shall be deemed to be an issuance thereof.

(l) Costs. The Corporation shall pay all documentary, stamp, transfer or other transactional taxes attributable to the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of any shares of Preferred Stock; provided, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificate for such shares in a name other than that of the holder of the shares of Preferred Stock in respect of which such shares are being issued.

(m) Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall reserve at all times so long as any shares of Preferred Stock remain outstanding, free from preemptive rights, out of its treasury stock (if applicable) or its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, or both, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock, sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for the conversion of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.

(n) Approvals. If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of conversion of shares of Preferred Stock require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any Federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, then the Corporation will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible endeavor to secure such registration or approval, as the case may be. If, and so long as, any Common Stock into which the shares of Preferred Stock are then convertible is listed on any

national securities exchange, the Corporation will, if permitted by the rules of such exchange, list and keep listed on such exchange, upon official notice of issuance, all shares of such Common Stock issuable upon conversion.

(o) Valid Issuance. All shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock will upon issuance by the Corporation be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof, and the Corporation shall take no action which will cause a contrary result (including without limitation, any action which would cause the applicable Conversion Price to be less than the par value, if any, of the Common Stock).

6. Voting Rights.

(a) In addition to the special voting rights provided in subsections (b), (c) and (d) below and by applicable law, and except for the election of directors, which shall be governed by the Second Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement dated as of July 14, 2006, as in effect from time to time (the “2006 Shareholders Agreement”), the holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote upon all matters upon which holders of the Common Stock have the right to vote. The holders of the New Class A Preferred Stock and New Class B Preferred Stock (other than T. O’Gara, Wilfred O’Gara (“W. O’Gara”) and Michael J. Lennon (“Lennon”)) shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the sum of largest number of full shares of Common Stock into which such shares of New Class A Preferred Stock or New Class B Preferred Stock could be converted pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 hereof at the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to vote on such matters, or if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or any written consent of stockholders is solicited, such votes to be counted together with all other shares of capital stock having general voting powers and not separately as a class. The shares of New Class B Preferred Stock held by T. O’Gara, W. O’Gara and Lennon shall be entitled to one thousand (1,000) votes for each such share (except in or with respect to the election of directors, which shall be governed by the 2006 Shareholders Agreement, the approval of incentive compensation for members of the Corporation’s senior management, the amendment or restatement of these Third Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and any matters reserved for class or series votes or as to which holders of Preferred Stock enjoy protective provisions, whether in these Third Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or otherwise). In all cases where the holders of shares of Preferred Stock have the right to vote separately as a class, such holders shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each such share held by them respectively.

(b) Without the prior consent of the holders of at least a majority of the then-outstanding shares of all series of New Class A Preferred Stock, given in writing or by vote at a meeting of stockholders called for such purpose, voting or consenting together as a single class, the Corporation will not:

(i) Alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the New Class A Preferred Stock;

(ii) Increase or decrease the authorized number of shares of New Class A Preferred Stock;

(iii) Materially change the nature of the Corporation’s business (which shall not include any expansion of the Corporation or its acquisition of related or strategic businesses); or

(iv) Amend or restate the Corporation’s Third Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, Amended and Restated Regulations or other charter documents (including any amendment or restatement effected by merger, consolidation, mandatory share exchange or otherwise) in a manner that adversely affects the rights of the holders of the New Class A Preferred Stock.

(c) Without the prior consent of the holders of at least fifty five percent (55%) of the then-outstanding shares of all series of New Class B Preferred Stock, given in writing or by vote at a meeting of stockholders called for such purpose, voting or consenting together as a single class, the Corporation shall not:

(i) Alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the New Class B Preferred Stock;

(ii) Increase or decrease the authorized number of shares of New Class B Preferred Stock;

(iii) Create (by reclassification or otherwise) any new class or series of capital stock having rights, preferences or privileges on a par with or senior to the New Class B Preferred Stock;

(iv) Materially change the nature of the Corporation’s business (which shall not include any expansion of the Corporation or its acquisition of related or strategic businesses);

(v) Amend or restate the Corporation’s Third Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, Amended and Restated Regulations or other charter documents (including any amendment or restatement effected by merger, consolidation, mandatory share exchange or otherwise) in a manner that adversely affects the rights of the holders of the New Class B Preferred Stock;

(vi) Sell or otherwise convey all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation or sell or issue shares of capital stock of the Corporation representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the capital stock of the Corporation or enter into any consolidation or merger, mandatory share exchange or conversion transaction;

(vii) Initiate the voluntary dissolution or winding-up or reorganization of the Corporation;

(viii) Enter into any agreement, directly or indirectly, with officers, employees, stockholders or directors of the Corporation, other than employment agreements, compensation arrangements, stock options or other service related transactions that are approved by the Board of Directors (with the consent of both directors designed by Walnut); or

(ix) Enter into any agreements, directly or indirectly, with any person to issue any capital stock of the Corporation in return for goods or services provided by such person.

(d) Without the prior consent of the holders of at least a majority of the then-outstanding shares of any series of Preferred Stock, given in writing or by vote at a meeting of stockholders called for such purpose, all holders of such series voting or consenting together as a single class, the Corporation will not alter or change, directly by amendment or restatement of these Third Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or indirectly by merger, consolidation, mandatory share exchange, conversion transaction or otherwise, the Subscription Price or Conversion Price applicable to such series.

7. Preemptive Rights.

(a) The Corporation hereby grants to each holder of Preferred Stock a right of first refusal to purchase, on a pro rata basis, all or any part of New Securities (as defined below) which the Corporation may, from time to time, propose to sell and issue subject to the terms and conditions set forth below. Each such holder’s pro rata share, for purposes of this Section 7, shall equal a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock then held by such holder of Preferred Stock or issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock then held by such holder or upon the exercise of any other Participating securities, options, rights or warrants then held by such holder, 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 Stock, New Class B Preferred Stock, other participating securities, options, rights or warrants (i.e., calculated on a fully-diluted basis).

(b) “New Securities” shall mean any capital stock of the Corporation whether now authorized or not and rights, options or warrants to purchase capital stock, and securities of any type whatsoever which are or may become, Participating into capital stock; provided, however, that the term “New Securities” does not include: (i) the New Class B Preferred and New A-1 Series; (ii) the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such shares of New Class B Preferred and New A-1 Series; (iii) the New Class A Preferred issued in connection with the acquisitions approved by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 5.3 of the Recapitalization Agreement or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such shares of New Class A Preferred; (iv) securities offered to the public pursuant to a Qualified Public Offering; (v) securities issued as a result of any stock split, stock dividend or reclassification of Common Stock, distributable on a pro rata basis to all holders of Common Stock; or (vi) securities issued in connection with the exercise of warrants or options listed on Section 4.4 of the Disclosure Schedule to the Recapitalization Agreement; or (viii) securities issued in connection with any of the Company’s stock option plans pursuant to resolutions

adopted by unanimous vote of the Board of Directors, including both directors designated by Walnut; and (viii) securities issued in connection with acquisitions of other businesses by the Company.

(c) If the Corporation intends to issue New Securities, it shall give each holder of Preferred Stock written notice of such intention, describing the type of New Securities to be issued, the price thereof and the general terms upon which the Corporation proposes to effect such issuance. Each holder of Preferred Stock shall have thirty (30) days from the date of any such notice to agree to purchase all or part of its, her or his pro rata share of such New Securities for the price and upon the general terms and conditions specified in the Corporation’s notice by giving written notice to the Corporation stating the quantity of New Securities to be so purchased. Each holder of Preferred Stock shall have a right of over allotment such that if any other holder of Preferred Stock fails to exercise his, her or its right hereunder to purchase his, her or its total pro rata portion of New Securities, the other holders of Preferred Stock may purchase such portion on a pro rata basis, by giving written notice to the Corporation within five (5) days from the date that the Corporation provides written notice to the other Investors of the amount of New Securities with respect to which such non-purchasing holder of Preferred Stock has failed to exercise its, her or his right hereunder.

If any holder of Preferred Stock fails to exercise the foregoing right of first refusal with respect to any New Securities within such thirty (30)-day period (or the additional five (5)-day period provided for overallotments), the Corporation may within one hundred eighty (180) days thereafter sell any or all of such New Securities not agreed to be purchased by the holders of Preferred Stock, at a price and upon general terms no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the notice given to each holder of Preferred Stock pursuant to paragraph (c) above.

11. Status of Reacquired Shares. Shares of Preferred Stock which have been issued and reacquired in any manner shall (upon compliance with any applicable provisions of the laws of the State of Ohio) have the status of authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock issuable in series undesignated as to series and may be redesignated and reissued.

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 1. General. The Corporation shall, in the case of any person who is or was an officer or director, and may, in the case of any other person, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the Ohio General Corporation Law, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or any predecessor, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, domestic or foreign, nonprofit or for profit, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, against expenses,

including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

Section 2. Derivative Actions. The Corporation shall, in the case of any person who is or was an officer or director, and may, in the case of any other person, indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent not prohibited by the Ohio General Corporation Law, any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or any predecessor, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, domestic or foreign, nonprofit or for profit, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Corporation unless, and only to the extent that, the Hamilton County, Ohio Court of Common Pleas, or the court in which such action or suit was brought, shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the Hamilton County, Ohio Court of Common Pleas or such other court shall deem proper.

Section 3. Payment or Advancement of Expenses. To the extent that a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article IV, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith. In addition, with respect to a director or officer, such expenses, including attorneys’ fees, shall be paid by the Corporation on a continuing and current basis (and not later than ten (10) business days following receipt by the Corporation of a request for reimbursement) in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, upon the Corporation’s receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount, if (with respect to an officer) it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized herein or (with respect to a director) it is ultimately determined by clear and convincing evidence in a court of competent jurisdiction that his action or failure to act involved an act or omission

undertaken with deliberate intent to cause injury to the Corporation or undertaken with reckless disrespect for the best interest of the Corporation.

Section 4. Special Procedure to Enforce Rights. If a request for indemnification or reimbursement is not paid in full by the Corporation within ninety days following the receipt thereof by the Corporation, the requesting party may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount, and, if successful in whole or in part, shall also be entitled to the expenses of prosecuting such action. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking has been tendered to the Corporation) that the requesting party has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Ohio General Corporation Law for the Corporation to indemnify the requesting party for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its shareholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the requesting party is proper under the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Ohio General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its shareholders) that the requesting party had not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the requesting party has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

Section 5. Rights are Non-Exclusive. The rights conferred on any person by Sections 1, 2, 3 and 4 above shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which such person may be entitled under any statute, provision of the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or these Amended and Restated Regulations, agreement, vote of the shareholders or disinterested Directors, or otherwise. The Corporation shall have the power to give any further indemnity, in addition to the indemnity offered or authorized under other provisions of this Article IV, to any person who is or was a director or officer, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, provided such further indemnity is either: (i) authorized, directed or provided for in the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or any duly adopted amendment thereof; or (ii) authorized, directed or provided for in any provision of these Amended and Restated Regulations, or separate agreement or contract of the Corporation which has been ratified or adopted by a vote of the shareholders of the Corporation, and provided further that the Corporation shall in no event indemnify any person from or on account of such person’s conduct which is finally adjudged to have been knowingly fraudulent, deliberately dishonest or willful misconduct, or if it is finally adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction considering the question of indemnification that such payment of indemnification is or would be in violation of applicable law.

The Board of Directors, in its discretion, shall have the power on behalf of the Corporation to indemnify, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the Ohio General Corporation Law, any person, other than a director or officer, who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed proceeding, by reason of the fact that he,

or a person for whom he is the legal representative, is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation.

Section 6. Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, domestic or foreign, nonprofit or for profit, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under this Article IV.

Section 7. Consolidation or Merger. As used in this Article IV, references to the Corporation include all constituent corporations in a consolidation or merger and the new or surviving corporation, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such a constituent corporation as a director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, domestic or foreign, nonprofit or for profit, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this Article IV with respect to the new or surviving corporation as he would if he had served the new or surviving corporation in the same capacity.

Section 8. Contract Rights. The provisions of this Article IV shall be deemed to be a contract between the Corporation and each director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation who serves in such capacity at any time while this Article is in effect, and any repeal or modification thereof shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts then or theretofore existing or any proceeding theretofore brought based in whole or in part on any such state of facts.

ARTICLE V.

The undersigned agrees that any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or relating to the terms and conditions of this non-competition covenant may be determined by litigation initiated in a federal or state court having a situs in the City of Cincinnati, Ohio. The undersigned consents to the jurisdiction of the courts in Hamilton County, Ohio for this purpose. The prevailing party shall be entitled to all costs including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses resulting from such dispute or controversy.

Walnut Investment Partners, L.P.

Cincinnati, Ohio 45202

Re: Investment in The O’Gara Group, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have served as counsel to The O’Gara Group, Inc., an Ohio corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the purchase of shares of stock in the Company by Walnut Investment Partners, L.P., Walnut Holdings O’Gara LLC, Hauser 43, LLC, PMR, LLC, Mark J. Hauser, Margie Hauser, Bullimore Limited, Wilfred T. O’Gara, William J. Motto, Brett T. Beaman, Richard T. Holman-Vlcek and Kurt M. Campbell (collectively, the “Investors”) as provided in the Investment Agreement dated as of December 17, 2007, by and between the Investors and the Company (the “Investment Agreement”). This opinion is being delivered to you pursuant to Section 6.3 of the Investment Agreement.

In offering our opinion, we have reviewed originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the following documents:

	(a)		the Articles of Incorporation of the Company (the “Articles”) as amended and supplemented through the date hereof and including the latest amendment to the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation filed with the Ohio Secretary of State (the “Secretary of State”) on the date hereof;

	(b)		the Amended and Restated Regulations of the Company as in effect on the date hereof;

	(c)		the Investment Agreement;

	(d)		certified resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company relating to the Investment Agreement and the Amendment to the Articles of the Company (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”) and the transactions contemplated thereby;

	(e)		a short-form good standing certificate for the Company dated as of a recent date and issued by the Secretary of State;

	(f)		an Officers’ Certificate of the Company, dated the date hereof, as to certain factual matters (the “Certificate”), an executed copy of which is attached to this opinion; and

(g)

such other documents as we have considered necessary or appropriate to the rendering of the opinion expressed below.

In our examination of the aforesaid documents, we have assumed, without independent investigation (the “Assumptions”):

	(a)		the genuineness of all signatures;

	(b)		the legal capacity of all individuals who have executed any of the Transaction Documents;

	(c)		the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals;

	(d)		the conformity to authentic originals of all documents submitted to us as copies;

	(e)		the accuracy and completeness of all public records and certificates reviewed by us;

	(f)		the truth and completeness of all representations and warranties made by the Company, the Investors, and the other parties in the Transaction Documents;

	(g)		the completeness of all documents submitted to us and the lack of any undisclosed modifications, waivers, or amendments to any agreements or other documents examined by us;

	(h)		that all parties to the Transaction Documents other than the Company have complied with all applicable federal and state laws, rules, and regulations in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby;

	(i)		that each party to the Transaction Documents other than the Company that is not a natural person is qualified and authorized to do business in every jurisdiction in which such qualification and authorization are required to enable it to enter into and perform its obligation under the Transaction Documents;

	(j)		that the Transaction Documents have been duly and validly authorized, executed, and delivered by all parties thereto other than to the Company;

	(k)		that the Transaction Documents constitute the valid, binding, and enforceable obligations of all parties thereto other than the Company (as to which we have not made such assumption);

	(l)		that either (i) all material terms and conditions of the relationship between the Company and the Investors are correctly and completely reflected in the Transaction Documents, or (ii) nothing in any agreement between any Investor and the Company that we have not reviewed modifies the material terms and conditions of the relationship between the Investors and the Company;

	(m)		the conduct of the parties to the transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents (the “Transaction”) complies with any applicable requirement of good faith, fair dealing, conscionability, and commercial reasonableness;

	(n)		no misrepresentations between the parties to the Transaction Documents have been made that would cause the Transaction Documents to be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part; and

	(o)		no mutual mistake of fact or misunderstanding, fraud, duress, or undue influence has occurred in connection with the Transaction.

As to any facts material to this opinion, we have relied solely upon the Certificate and the representations and warranties of the Company and the Investors set forth in the Transaction Documents and have not independently verified the matters stated therein.

Based upon the Assumptions, and subject to the Qualifications hereinafter set forth, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Company is a corporation organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Ohio. The Company has all requisite power and authority to conduct its business and to own its properties as now conducted and owned and to execute and deliver and carry out and perform its obligations under the Investment Agreement.

2. Neither the Company’s entering of the Investment Agreement nor the performance of its obligations thereunder will: (i) violate any provision of the Company’s Articles or Amended and Restated Regulations; (ii) to our knowledge, result in the breach of or constitute a default under any agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound; or (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any material lien, claim, or encumbrance on any Company asset.

3. The Company has authorized and executed the Investment Agreement. The Investment Agreement has been approved by all necessary actions, including approval by the Company’s Board of Directors and shareholders, and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its provisions.

The foregoing opinions are further qualified as follows (the “Qualifications”):

(A) We have made no investigation and we express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of Ohio.

(B) This opinion concerns only the effect of the laws (excluding the principles of conflict of laws) of the State of Ohio as currently in effect. We assume no obligation to update or supplement this opinion if any applicable laws change after the date hereof or if any facts or circumstances come to our attention after the date hereof that might change this opinion.

(C) We express no opinion as to the enforceability of: (i) self-help or other non-judicial remedies, (ii) provisions requiring indemnification, or (iii) provisions requiring the payment of legal fees.

(D) The enforceability of the Transaction Documents may be: (i) limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or conveyance, preferential transfer, or similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditors’ rights generally; (ii) subject to the rights, claims, and defenses of lessors, account debtors, or other parties to leases or other contracts to which the Company is a party; (iii) subject to the qualification that certain provisions therein may be unenforceable in whole or in part (but inclusion of such provisions does not invalidate such documents in their entirety); and (iv) subject to public policy and general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Such principles of equity are of general application, and in applying such principles a court, among other things, might require marshalling of liens, or decline to enforce or order performance of a covenant or allow acceleration of indebtedness or realization upon any security for the payment of such indebtedness, by reason of the failure to perform such a covenant or a violation of such documents to the extent that the court determines that performance of such covenant or such violation is not material to the repayment of such indebtedness. Such principles applied by a court might also limit the enforceability of covenants relating to specific performance, injunctive relief, or self-help without appropriate judicial process and include a requirement that the Investor act with reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, and might be applied, among other situations, to any provisions purporting to authorize conclusive determinations by the Investor.

(E) We express no opinion on the enforceability of any provision: (i) permitting waivers, amendments, or modifications of the Transaction Documents only if in writing, or (ii) stating that the provisions of the Transaction Documents are severable.

(F) We express no opinion on the enforceability of any provision of the Transaction Documents regarding waiver of jury trial or which provide for jurisdiction of the courts of any particular jurisdiction.

(G) The provisions regarding the remedies available on default as set forth in the Transaction Documents are subject to certain procedural requirements that affect and may restrict rights and remedies stated to be available.

(H) The phrases “to our knowledge” and “known to us” used herein mean the current actual knowledge of the lawyers within our firm who have represented the Company in connection with the Transaction Documents, without independent verification, except for our review of the documents referred to herein. Such terms do not include matters with respect to which such lawyers could be deemed to have constructive knowledge.

(I) With respect to our opinion expressed in Paragraph 1, we have relied solely upon the good standing certificate referred to above of the Secretary of State to the effect that the Company is duly qualified and in good standing under the laws of the State of Ohio.

(J) We express no opinion as to the standards of commercial reasonableness and good faith that may apply to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

(K) We have no knowledge of the Company’s financial circumstances or of the details of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, except insofar as such details

are set forth in the documents we have reviewed. Consequently, we express no opinion as to matters governed by federal or state securities laws (including the anti-fraud provisions thereof).

(L) We express no opinion as to any provision purporting to waive rights or defenses, authorize a party to act as attorney-in-fact for another party, disclaim liability or fiduciary responsibility, or preclude oral modification or waiver, or modification or waiver by conduct or course of dealing, of provisions of the Transaction Documents.

This opinion is based on existing facts, statutes, rules, regulations, and judicial rulings and is subject to changes therein. We do not, however, undertake to advise you as to future changes that affect this opinion.

The opinion expressed in this letter is solely for the use of the Investors in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. This opinion may not be relied upon by, nor may copies hereof be delivered to, any other person or entity without our prior written approval. This opinion is limited to the matters set forth herein. No other opinion should be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated. We are qualified to practice law in the State of Ohio. We do not purport to express any opinion herein concerning any law other than the laws of the State of Ohio.

Very truly yours,

TAFT STETTINIUS & HOLLISTER LLP

2. Dividends.

payable in arrears upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event (as defined in Section 3 of Part Two of this Article Fourth (such date being herein referred to as the “Dividend Payment Date”). Dividends shall be paid to the holders of record of the New Class A Preferred Stock and New Class B Preferred Stock, as their names appear on the share register of the Corporation on the corresponding record date for the distribution.

3. Distributions Upon Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.

(a) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the affairs of the Corporation (together with all other transactions deemed under this Section 3 to be a Liquidation Event, collectively “Liquidation Events”), the holders of the New Class A Preferred Stock and New Class B Preferred Stock, which shall be on a parity as to any such entitlements, shall be entitled: (i) first, to be paid the applicable Subscription Price of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock (as appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock subdivision or split-up, combination or similar event affecting the Preferred Stock or the Common Stock), with the New Class A Preferred Stock being entitled to be paid the applicable New A Series Subscription Price and with the New Class B Preferred Stock being entitled to be paid the applicable New B Series Subscription Price; plus (ii) second, any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to such date; plus (iii) third, to be paid an amount equal to the product of: (x) the balance of the proceeds of the Liquidation Event; and (y) the fully-diluted ownership percentage (excluding out-of-the-money options and warrants) represented by the Preferred Stock, treating the Preferred Stock on an “as-converted” basis. If and after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of the Preferred Stock of all amounts to which such holders shall be entitled, the remaining assets and funds of the Corporation shall be distributed among the holders of Junior Stock, according to their respective shares and priorities. If, upon any such liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the net assets of the Corporation distributable among the holders of all outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment in full to such holder of the preferential amounts to which

they are entitled, then the entire net assets of the Corporation shall be distributed among the holders of the Preferred Stock ratably in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.

5. Conversion Rights. The Preferred Stock shall be convertible into Common Stock as follows:

(a) Optional Conversion. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 5, the holder of any shares of Preferred Stock shall have the right at such holder’s option, at any time or from time to time, to convert any of such shares of Preferred Stock into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price applicable to such class and series of Preferred Stock (i.e., the applicable New A Series Conversion Price or the applicable New B Series Conversion Price, as the case may be) in effect on the Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined) upon the terms hereinafter set forth.

Stock then in effect upon the closing of an underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the offering and sale of the Common Stock for the account of the Corporation in which the gross proceeds to the Corporation are equal to or in excess of Twenty Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) (“Qualified Public Offering”).

(d) Mechanics of Conversion. The holder of any shares of Preferred Stock may exercise the conversion right specified in subsection (a) above by surrendering to the Corporation or any transfer agent of the Corporation the certificate or certificates for the share to be converted, accompanied by written notice specifying the number of shares to be converted. Upon the occurrence of the event specified in subsection (b) above, the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be converted automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer agent; provided that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue to any such holder certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless certificates evidencing the shares of Preferred Stock are either delivered to the Corporation or any transfer agent of the Corporation. Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the date when delivery of notice of an election to convert and certificates for shares is made or on the date of the occurrence of the event specified in subsection (b) above, as the case may be, and such date is referred to herein as the “Conversion Date.” Subject to the provisions of subsection (f)(vii) below, as promptly as practicable thereafter (and after surrender of the certificate or certificates representing shares of Preferred Stock to the Corporation or any transfer agent of the Corporation in the case of conversions pursuant to subsection (b) above), the Corporation shall issue and deliver to or upon the written order of such holder a certificate or check or cash with respect to any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock as provided in subsection (e) below. Subject to the provisions of subsection (f)(vii) below, the person in whose name the certificate or certificates for Common Stock are to be issued shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Common Stock on the applicable Conversion Date. Upon conversion of only a portion of the number of shares covered by a certificate representing shares of Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion (in the case of conversion pursuant to subsection (a) above), the Corporation shall issue and deliver to or upon the written order of the holder of the certificate so surrendered for conversion, at the expense of the Corporation, a new certificate covering the number of shares of Preferred Stock representing the unconverted portion of the certificate so surrendered.

(e) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip shall be issued upon conversion of shares of Preferred Stock. If more than one (1) share of Preferred

Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at any one (1) time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Preferred Stock so surrendered. Instead of any fractional shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any shares of Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fractional interest in an amount equal to that fractional interest of the then Current Market Price.

(f) Conversion Price Adjustments. The applicable New Series A Conversion Prices and the applicable New Series B Conversion Prices shall each be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

(i) Common Stock Issued at Less Than the Conversion Price. If the Corporation shall issue any Common Stock other than Excluded Stock (as hereinafter defined) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the applicable Conversion Price (i.e., the applicable New Series A Conversion Price and the applicable New Series B Conversion Price, as the case may be) in effect immediately prior to such issuance, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall immediately (except as provided below) be reduced to the per share price of the shares issued in that issuance, which shall be determined by dividing the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for the shares issued in that issuance by the aggregate number of shares so issued in that issuance.

For the purposes of any adjustment of the applicable Conversion Price pursuant to clause (i), the following provisions shall be applicable:

(B) Consideration Other Than Cash. In the case of the issuance of Common Stock (otherwise than upon the conversion of shares of capital stock or other securities of the Corporation) for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, including securities acquired in exchange therefor (other than securities by their terms so exchangeable), the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be fair value thereof as determined by the Board of Directors, irrespective of any accounting treatment; provided that such fair value as determined by the Board of Directors shall not exceed the aggregate Current Market Price of the shares of Common Stock being issued as of the date the Board of Directors authorizes the issuance of such shares.

or rights to purchase such Participating or exchangeable securities (whether or not at the time exercisable):

(5) if the applicable Conversion Price shall have been adjusted upon the issuance of any such options, warrants, rights or convertible or exchangeable

securities, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made for that actual issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof;

provided, however, that no increase in the applicable Conversion Price shall be made pursuant to subclauses (1) or (2) of this subclause (C).

Stock outstanding on such record date. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. In the event that such distribution is not so made, the applicable Conversion Price then in effect shall be readjusted, effective as of the date when the Board of Directors determines not to distribute such shares, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights or warrants, as the case may be, to that Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed.

(vii) Timing of Issuance of Additional Common Stock Upon Certain Adjustments. In any case in which the provisions of this subsection (f) shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event, the Corporation may defer until the occurrence of such event: (A) issuing to the holder of any share of Preferred Stock converted after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment; and (B) paying to such holder any amount of cash in lieu of a fractional share of Common Stock pursuant to subsection (e) above; provided that the Corporation upon request shall deliver to such holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing such holder’s right to receive such additional shares, and such cash, upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.

share exchange, conversion transaction, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all of the provisions of this Section 5 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock against dilution or impairment.

(i) Statement Regarding Adjustments.

The failure of the Company to respond within such thirty (30) day Company Option Period shall be deemed to be a waiver of the Company’s rights under this Section 2.3(c).

At such closing, the Selling Shareholder shall deliver certificates representing the Offered Securities, duly endorsed for transfer or with executed stock powers attached, and payment of all requisite transfer taxes, if any. The Offered Securities shall be free and clear of any liens (other than those arising hereunder and those attributable to actions by the purchasers thereof) and the Selling Shareholder shall so represent and warrant, and shall further represent and warrant that it, he or she is the sole beneficial and record owner of such Offered Securities.

(e) Sale to a Third Party Purchaser. Unless the Non-Selling Shareholders and the Company elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Offered Securities under Sections 2.3(b) and 2.3(c), but in any event subject to Articles 3 and 4 of this Agreement, the Selling Shareholder may sell all, but not less than all, of the remaining Offered Securities to the Third Party Purchaser and on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Offering Notice; provided, however, that such sale is bona fide and made pursuant to a contract entered into within sixty (60) days after the earlier to occur of: (i) the waiver by all of the Non-Selling Shareholders and the Company of their options to purchase the Offered Securities; and (ii) the expiration of the Company Option Period (the “Contract Date”); and provided further, that such sale shall not be consummated unless and until such Third Party Purchaser complies with Sections 2.2 and 4.2 hereof.

Capital Stock, shall have the right (hereby granted by each Shareholder) to “tag-along” on any such Transfer as set forth in this Section 3.1. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Selling Article 3 Shareholder may consummate any transaction described in the sentence immediately preceding without complying with the provisions of this Article 3. Each Selling Article 3 Shareholder shall notify the Company and each Tag-Along Rightholder of its desire to Transfer such Shares by sending written notice (a “Tag-Along Notice”) in accordance with Section 3.2. Each Tag-Along Rightholder shall have the right to sell to such Third Party Purchaser, upon the terms set forth in the Tag-Along Notice, that number of Shares of Common Stock then held by such Tag-Along Rightholder or which will be held by such Tag-Along Rightholder immediately after conversion of all or a portion of its New Class B Preferred, in accordance with the terms thereof (the “Tag-Along Rightholder Securities”) equal to that percentage of the Tag-Along Offered Securities determined by dividing: (A) the total number of Tag-Along Rightholder Securities then owned by such Tag-Along Rightholder by (B) the sum of: (x) the total number of Tag-Along Rightholder Securities then owned by all such Tag-Along Rightholders exercising their rights pursuant to this Section 3.1; and (y) the total number of shares of New Class A Preferred, New Class B Preferred and Common Stock (calculated on an as-converted basis, if applicable) proposed to be sold by the Selling Article 3 Shareholder. Subject to the proviso below, the Selling Article 3 Shareholder and the Tag-Along Rightholder(s) exercising their rights pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall effect the sale of the Tag-Along Offered Securities and such Tag-Along Rightholder Securities respectively, with the number of Tag-Along Offered Securities to be Transferred to such Third Party Purchaser by the Selling Article 3 Shareholder reduced accordingly; provided, however, that if the Third Party Purchaser wishes to purchase some but not all of the total amount of Tag-Along Offered Securities (including the Tag-Along Rightholder Securities requested to be sold by such Tag-Along Rightholder(s)), then the amount of Tag-Along Offered Securities and Tag-Along Rightholders Securities to be sold to the Third Party Purchaser shall be sold in accordance with the ratio of the amount of Tag-Along Offered Securities requested to be sold by the Selling Article 3 Shareholder and each Tag-Along Rightholder, respectively, to the total number of Tag-Along Offered Securities and Tag-Along Rightholders Securities requested to be sold.

3.2 Notice of Sale. The Selling Article 3 Shareholder shall give notice to each Tag-Along Rightholder of each proposed sale by it of shares of Capital Stock that gives rise to the rights of the Tag-Along Rightholders set forth in Section 3.1, at least thirty (30) days prior to the proposed consummation of such Transfer, setting forth the name of such Selling Article 3 Shareholder, the number of shares of Capital Stock proposed to be transferred (the “Tag-Along Offered Securities”), the name and address of the proposed Third Party Purchaser, the proposed amount and form of consideration (the “Tag-Along Offer Price”), the terms and conditions of payment offered by such Third Party Purchaser, the estimated number of the shares of Capital Stock that such Tag-Along Rightholder may Transfer to such Third Party Purchaser (determined in accordance with Section 3.1 and assuming that all Tag-Along Rightholders exercise their rights under this Section 3.1), and a representation that such Third Party Purchaser has been informed of the “tag-along” rights provided for in Section 3.1 and has agreed to purchase shares of Capital Stock in accordance with the terms hereof.

Rightholder’s wish to exercise its rights and specifying the number of shares of Capital Stock (up to the maximum number of shares of Capital Stock owned by such Tag-Along Rightholder required to be purchased by such Third Party Purchaser) it wishes to sell; provided, however, that any Tag-Along Rightholder may waive its rights under Section 3.1 prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period by giving written notice to the Selling Shareholder, with a copy to the Company. The failure of a Tag-Along Rightholder to respond within such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed to be a waiver of such Tag-Along Rightholder’s rights under Section 3.1. If a Third Party Purchaser fails to purchase shares of Capital Stock from any Tag-Along Rightholder that has properly exercised its tag-along rights pursuant to Section 3.1, then the Selling Article 3 Shareholder shall not be permitted to consummate the proposed sale of the Tag-Along Offered Securities, and any such attempted sale or proposed sale shall be null and void ab initio.

ARTICLE 4.
AFTER-ACQUIRED SECURITIES; TRANSFERRED SECURITIES; AGREEMENT TO BE
BOUND

4.1 After-Acquired Securities. All of the provisions of this Agreement shall apply to all Shares and Share Equivalents now owned or which may be issued or transferred hereafter and prior to the Initial Public Offering to a Shareholder in consequence of any additional issuance, purchase, conversion, exercise, exchange or reclassification of any such Shares or Share equivalents, corporate reorganization, or any other form of recapitalization, consolidation, merger, share split or share dividend or which are acquired by a Shareholder in any other manner.

4.2 Agreement to be Bound. The Company covenants that it shall not issue any shares of Capital Stock or any Share Equivalents (other than options granted pursuant to a Company option plan approved by unanimous vote of the Board of Directors, including both Walnut Directors), or register the transfer of any shares of Capital Stock or any Share Equivalents (other than options granted pursuant to a Company option plan approved by unanimous vote of the Board of Directors, including both Walnut Directors), to any Person not a party to this Agreement, unless such Person has agreed in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement pursuant to an instrument reasonably acceptable to the Company and to the holders of a majority in interest of the then-issued and outstanding New Class B Preferred and to the holders of a majority in interest of the issued and outstanding New Class A Preferred and Common Stock, voting together as a single class. The joinder agreement attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit 4.2 is reasonably acceptable to the Company and to the holders of a majority in interests of the issued and outstanding New Class B Preferred and New Class A Preferred, voting together as a single class. Upon becoming a party to this Agreement, such Person shall be deemed to be, and shall be subject to the same obligations as, each Shareholder hereunder. Any issuance or transfer of Shares or any Share Equivalents by the Company in violation of this Section 4.2 shall be null and void ab initio.

In addition, each Shareholder shall vote its, his or her Shares at any Shareholders Meeting or act by Written Consent with respect to such Shares, upon any matter submitted for action by the Company’s shareholders or with respect to which such Shareholder may vote or act by Written Consent, in conformity with the specific terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Charter Documents.
