The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 8(a) shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Company may otherwise have.

(b) Indemnification of the Company and its Directors and Officers. The Underwriters agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, officers, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which the Company, or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Underwriters), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment thereto, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in the case of each of (i) and (ii) above to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Underwriters through the Representative expressly for use therein; and to reimburse the Company, or any such director, officer or controlling person for any legal and other expense reasonably incurred by the Company, or any such director, officer or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action. The Company hereby acknowledges that the only information that the Underwriters have furnished to the Company expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) is the paragraph regarding delivery of shares by the Underwriters set forth on the cover page of, and the concession and reallowance figures and the paragraph relating to stabilization by the Underwriters appearing under the caption

“Underwriting” in the Prospectus and in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 8(b) shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Underwriters may otherwise have.

(c) Notifications and Other Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise than under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8 or to the extent it is not prejudiced as a proximate result of such failure. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it shall elect, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying party’s election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other fees and expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with local counsel), approved by the indemnifying party, representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time, in light of the circumstances, after notice of commencement of the action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party.

(d) Settlements. The indemnifying party under this Section 8 shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 8, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and

indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding.

SECTION 9. CONTRIBUTION.

(a) Contribution Allocation. If the indemnification provided for in Section 8 is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the aggregate amount paid or payable by such indemnified party, as incurred, as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions herein that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total gross proceeds less underwriting discounts and commissions from the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement received by the Company, and the total underwriting commissions received by the Underwriters, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the Shares. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand, or the Underwriters, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(b) Fees and Expenses. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8, any legal or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in Section 8 with respect to notice of commencement of any action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this Section 9; provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any action for which notice has been given under Section 8 for purposes of indemnification.

(c) Equitable Considerations. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 9.

(d) Limitations; Rights to Contribution. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the

underwriting commissions received by such Underwriter in connection with the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 9, each officer and employee of the Underwriters and each person, if any, who controls the Underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Underwriters, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.

SECTION 10. TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Prior to the First Closing Date, this Agreement may be terminated by the Representative by notice given to the Company if at any time: (a) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Global Market shall have been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices shall have been generally established on any of such stock exchanges or markets by the Commission or the FINRA or any other Governmental Authority, or a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States; (b) a general banking moratorium shall have been declared by any of federal or New York authorities; (c) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of national or international hostilities or any crisis or calamity, or any change in the United States or international financial markets, or any substantial change or development involving a prospective substantial change in United States’ or international political, financial or economic conditions, in any such case that, in the reasonable judgment of the Representative is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to market the Shares in the manner and on the terms disclosed in the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or to enforce contracts for the sale of securities; (d) in the reasonable judgment of the Representative there shall have occurred any Material Adverse Change; or (e) the Company shall have sustained a loss by strike, fire, flood, earthquake, accident or other calamity of such character that in the judgment of the Representative would, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change. Any termination pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of (i) the Company to the Underwriters, (ii) the Underwriters to the Company, or (iii) of any party hereto to any other party except that the provisions of Section 4, Section 6, Section 8, Section 9, Section 11 and Sections 13 through 18 shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination.

SECTION 11. REPRESENTATIONS AND INDEMNITIES TO SURVIVE DELIVERY.

The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (a) any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of the Underwriters, the officers or employees of the Underwriters, any person controlling the Underwriters, any person controlling the Company, or the officers and employees of the Company or of any person controlling the Company, (b) acceptance of the Shares and payment for them hereunder and (c) termination of this Agreement.

If, however, the Representative shall not have completed such arrangements within such 24-hour period, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours, if practicable, within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase the Defaulted Shares on such terms. If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Defaulted Shares of an Underwriter or Underwriters by the Representative and the Company as provided above:

(i) the number of Defaulted Shares does not exceed 10% of the number of Shares to be purchased on such date, each of the non defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their respective underwriting obligations hereunder bear to the underwriting obligations of all non defaulting Underwriters; or

(ii) the number of Defaulted Shares exceeds 10% of the number of Shares to be purchased on such date, this Agreement (with respect to the First Closing Date) or, with respect to any Option Closing Date, the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase and of the Company to issue and sell the Overallotment Shares to be purchased and sold on such Option Closing Date shall terminate without liability on the part of any non defaulting Underwriter or the Company.

(b) No Relief for Defaulting Underwriter. No action taken pursuant to this Section shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of its default.

(c) Postponement Upon Default. In the event of any such default that does not result in a termination of this Agreement or, in the case of an Option Closing Date, that does not result in a termination of the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase and the Company to issue and sell the Overallotment Shares, as the case may be, either (i) the Representative or (ii) the Company shall have the right to postpone the First Closing Date or the relevant Option Closing Date, as the case may be, for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements. As used herein, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section 12.

Dear Sirs:

As an inducement to the several underwriters, for whom ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Company, Inc. is acting as the representative (the “Representative”), to enter into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with The O’Gara Group, Inc., an Ohio corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to which an offering will be made for the common stock, no par value (the “Securities”), of the Company, the undersigned hereby agrees that during the period specified in the following paragraph (the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of Securities, enter into a transaction that would have the same effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Securities, whether any such aforementioned transaction is to be settled by delivery of the Securities or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any such transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement, without, in each case, the prior written consent of the Representative. In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Representative, it will not, during the Lock-Up Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any Securities or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for the Securities.

The initial Lock-Up Period will commence on the date of this Lock-Up Agreement and continue to and include the date that is [180 days]¹ [365 days]² after the public offering date set forth on the cover page of the final prospectus used to sell the Securities (the “Public Offering Date”) pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement; provided, however, that if (1) during the last 17 days of the initial Lock-Up Period, the Company releases earnings results or publicly announces other material news or a material event relating to the Company or (2) prior to the expiration of the initial Lock-Up Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the initial Lock-Up Period, then in each case the initial Lock-Up Period will be extended until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on

The undersigned hereby acknowledges and agrees that written notice of any extension of the Lock-Up Period pursuant to the previous paragraph will be delivered by the Representative to the Company (in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement) and that any such notice properly delivered will be deemed to have been given to, and received by, the undersigned. The undersigned further agrees that, prior to engaging in any transaction or taking any other action that is subject to the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement during the period from the date of this Lock-Up Agreement to and including the 34th day following the expiration of the initial Lock-Up Period, it will give notice thereof to the Company and will not consummate such transaction or take any such action unless it has received written confirmation from the Company that the Lock-Up Period (as it may have been extended pursuant to the previous paragraph) has expired.

The undersigned’s acquisition or exercise of any stock option issued by the Company pursuant to the Company’s existing stock option plans shall not be subject to this Agreement; provided, however, that any Securities received upon the exercise of any such option will also be subject to this Agreement. A transfer of Securities by gift, will or intestacy to a family member, affiliate or trust may be made, but only to the extent the transferee agrees to be bound in writing by the terms of this Agreement prior to such transfer (or as soon as practicable after such transfer in the case of transfer by will or intestacy) and no filing by any party (donor, donee, transferor or transferee) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with such transfer (other than a filing on a Form 5, Schedule 13 G/G-A or Schedule 13D/D-A made after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period or filings on Form 3, Schedule 13G/G-A or Schedule 13D/D-A as required for a transfer to an estate or trust upon the death of the undersigned).

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and its transfer agent and registrar are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of shares of Securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties to this Agreement and supersedes all prior written or oral and all contemporaneous oral agreements, understandings and negotiations with respect to the subject matter hereof.

This Agreement shall be binding on the undersigned and the successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns of the undersigned. This Agreement shall lapse and become null and void if (1) the Company or the Representative decides not to proceed with the offering of the Securities prior to the execution of the Underwriting Agreement, (2) the Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions thereof that shall survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the Securities to be sold thereunder or (3) the Public Offering Date shall not have occurred on or before [ ], 2009.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF.
