                                  THE COMPANY
 
     The O'Gara Company is a leading provider of fully integrated ballistic and
blast protected vehicle armoring systems for military, commercial and
governmental clients worldwide. Through O'Gara-Hess & Eisenhardt Armoring
Company ("OHE"), the Company currently is the primary provider of armoring
systems for High Mobility Multi-Purpose Wheeled Vehicles ("HMMWVs") used by the
U.S. Military and other armed forces worldwide. OHE also provides armored
commercial vehicles for heads of state, business executives and VIPs worldwide,
including presidential limousines used by every U.S. President since 1948.
Through O'Gara Satellite Networks Limited ("OSN"), the Company provides vital
communications systems for its clients by integrating proprietary hardware and
smart card billing software that operate on the International Maritime Satellite
("Inmarsat") network. In addition, the Company offers customized turn-key site
security systems to international customers.
 
     Originally founded in 1876 as Sayers & Scovil, a manufacturer of
horse-drawn carriages, the Company evolved into a producer of specialized motor
vehicles. By the early 1900s, the Company changed its ownership and name to Hess
& Eisenhardt and focused on the development and construction of a broad range of
specialized consumer and commercial vehicles such as ambulances and hearses. In
the 1940s, the Company was commissioned by the U.S. Secret Service to design and
assemble the first armored presidential limousine, which was used by President
Harry S. Truman. In 1982, this business was acquired by certain members of the
O'Gara family, was subsequently renamed, and has focused on producing armored
vehicles for commercial and governmental clients around the world. In 1993, the
Company was awarded its first contract to up-armor the HMMWV for the U.S.
Military.
 
     The Company's business today is increasingly being driven by the needs of
(i) worldwide military organizations to field a more versatile armored vehicle,
such as the HMMWV; (ii) governments to protect heads of state and diplomats from
terrorist attacks; (iii) multinational corporations to protect executives,
corporate assets and information in high risk countries; (iv) wealthy
individuals to secure themselves and their families from the growing threat of
kidnappings worldwide; (v) individuals to insulate themselves and their property
from planned criminal activity and random acts of violence; and (vi)
individuals, corporations and governments to obtain secure, remote or
independent telecommunications services.
 
     To capitalize on these trends, the Company has realigned its activities
along three business lines: security hardware products, security systems
integration and security services. The Security Hardware Products Group
currently markets all of the Company's armoring products, including fully
integrated ballistic and blast protected armoring systems for military and
commercial vehicles, aircraft and missile container armor, and field installed
armoring systems. The Security Systems Integration Group offers planning,
design, and hardware and software integration services which are customized to
meet specific satellite communications or site protection needs of customers.
The Security Services Group intends to offer security-related services such as
security background clearances, business intelligence, country risk assessments,
airport/aircraft security support, and private security agent and driver
training. The Company believes that its strong name recognition, reputation and
experience, combined with its design, engineering and production expertise, as
well as its
 
                                        3
<PAGE>   6
 
network of affiliations in the security industry, will enable it to market
successfully a broader array of security products and services worldwide.
 
BUSINESS STRATEGY
 
     The principal elements of the Company's business strategy are as follows:
 
     Expand armored commercial vehicle sales in foreign markets.  The Company
intends to expand its foreign market position as a leading provider of armored
commercial vehicles by leveraging its well recognized name, high quality
reputation and global network of customer relationships. To support this effort,
the Company has established manufacturing operations in Mexico, Brazil and
Russia, has increased its sales and marketing personnel from four at October
1995 to 17 at present and has increased its annual marketing budget from $0.7
million in 1995 to $1.8 million in 1996. The Company believes that these
efforts, coupled with the strong demand in these countries for armored
commercial vehicles, will enable it to penetrate effectively these markets. In
the future, the Company intends to establish manufacturing operations in
additional countries as it deems appropriate.
 
     Expand foreign military sales.  As the nature of armed conflicts changes
and worldwide military budgets are cut, the Company believes that expensive
heavily armored tracked vehicles will continue to be replaced by more versatile
and less expensive tactical wheeled vehicles ("TWVs"), such as the HMMWV. The
Company markets both factory assembled, fully armored ("Up-Armored") HMMWVs and
armor kits which may be added in the field to certain existing HMMWVs. There
currently exists an installed base of 130,000 HMMWVs, including 18,400 owned by
31 foreign countries. The Company estimates that approximately 12,000 of the
HMMWVs in use worldwide are suitable for its armor kits and believes a
significant opportunity exists to market aggressively these kits,
internationally as well as domestically. The Company also believes that those
countries currently utilizing HMMWVs are candidates for future sales of the
Up-Armored HMMWV. For example, the Company recently entered into contracts to
provide Up-Armored HMMWVs to two foreign countries, Luxembourg and Qatar.
 
     Grow non-armoring security-related businesses.  The Company's Security
Systems Integration Group intends to build upon its rapidly growing satellite
communications business and the physical site protection services it currently
offers in Russia by offering a broader array of products and services to
existing hardware customers and to buyers in new geographic markets. In
addition, the Company's Security Services Group intends to offer, either
directly or through subcontractors, additional security-related services such as
security background clearances, business intelligence, country risk assessments,
airport/aircraft security support, and private security agent and driver
training. The Company is adding Mr. William S. Sessions, the former Director of
the Federal Bureau of Investigation, as a director, and Mr. Hugh E. Price, the
former Deputy Director for Operations of the Central Intelligence Agency, as
President, Security Services Group and as a director. The Company believes the
addition of these individuals to its management team, along with their
reputation, experience and network of relationships, will enhance the Company's
ability to market these services worldwide.
 
     Standardize production to improve efficiencies and reduce throughput
time.  Since 1994, the Company has committed approximately $3.1 million to
engineering, tooling, and training to standardize its product design, armoring
components, and assembly line operations. Through the application of these
techniques, the number of employee work hours needed to produce the Up-Armored
HMMWV has been reduced from 465 to 265, and the number of components involved
from 800 to 550. These techniques are now being applied by the Company to the
production of certain commercial products, the first being the armored
GMC/Chevrolet Standard Suburban ("Standard Suburban"). Employee work hours
required to armor the Standard Suburban have been reduced from 1,200 to 650, and
the number of components involved from 350 to 200. The Company is currently
working to standardize its process of armoring a passenger sedan. As a result of
these efficiencies, the Company believes it will be better able to provide
immediate delivery of its armored commercial vehicles, which will increase
substantially their attractiveness and marketability in the U.S. as well as
abroad.

     Pursue strategic acquisition opportunities.  The fragmented nature of the
global security industry provides ample opportunities for strategic
acquisitions. The Company believes it is positioned to consolidate companies in
the armoring, systems integration, security services, engineering and secured
satellite communications sectors of the industry. On August 15, 1996, the
Company entered into an agreement in principle to acquire Palmer Associates,
S.C., a provider of security services, such as driver training, background
investigation and due diligence reports, in Mexico City, Mexico, for cash
consideration of approximately $1.0 million, payable over two years. The Company
continues to review additional acquisition opportunities in each of these
sectors.
 
     Pursue related growth opportunities.  The Company believes it will have
additional opportunities for growth by providing safety component products to
the automotive market and by capitalizing on the increasing demand for
heightened security features in the private automobile market in the United
States.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
     In 1995, the Company's net sales were $1.1 million lower than the prior
year due to a six-month delay in the delivery of HMMWV chassis from a supplier
that led to the production of 116 fewer Up-Armored HMMWVs than originally
planned. During this period, it was necessary to maintain manufacturing and
engineering support personnel to ensure production deadlines would be met once
the chassis were delivered. These support costs of approximately $0.6 million
occurred without a corresponding increase in net sales. Also, 1995 operating
expenses included $0.4 million in new selling and marketing expenses relating to
the start-up of the Company's satellite communication business. All these items
contributed to the Company's loss of $1.1 million for 1995.
 
     For the six months ended June 30, 1996, net sales improved to $41.5
million, compared to $12.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995. The
primary reason for this growth was a U.S. Military request to accelerate the
production of Up-Armored HMMWVs. U.S. Military net sales for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 were $30.0 million, armored commercial vehicle net sales
were $7.6 million, and net sales of the Company's satellite communications
business (representing the bulk of the Security Systems Integration Group's net
sales) were $3.8 million, compared to $3.5 million, $8.1 million and $0.6
million, respectively, for the corresponding 1995 period. Income before income
taxes for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased to $4.0 million compared
to a loss of $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995. In view of the
increased net sales from its acceleration of HMMWV production during the six
months ended June 30, 1996, the Company expects U.S. Military net sales for the
second half of 1996 to be lower than those for the first half. The Company
believes its commercial vehicle armoring and satellite communications businesses
will generate a greater percentage of the Company's future net sales. Increased
net sales are also expected to come from the Security Systems Integration Group
and Security Services Group.

executive offices are located at 9113 LeSaint Drive, Fairfield, Ohio 45014. The
Company's telephone number is (513) 874-2112.

(1) The pro forma information reflects the repayment of indebtedness
    (approximately $10.2 million at December 31, 1995 and $13.6 million at June
    30, 1996) from the proceeds of the Offering and the elimination of related
    interest expense (net of income taxes). In addition, prior to the Offering,
    the Company's business has been conducted by a group of corporations (the
    "Related Corporations") affiliated by substantially common management and
    control. The most significant of the Related Corporations has elected to be
    treated as an S Corporation for federal and state income tax purposes, and
    such Related Corporation's income has been allocable to its shareholders for
    income tax purposes, rather than being taxed at the corporate level. After
    the Reorganization and the termination of the S Corporation status of this
    Related Corporation, the Company will be subject to corporate income
    taxation and will file a consolidated tax return. The pro forma net income
    information reflects the application of corporate income taxes to the
    Company's consolidated income before income taxes at an effective tax rate
    of approximately 40%, which represents the estimated combined federal and
    state income tax rates. The pro forma information is presented as if such
    changes had been effected on January 1 of the periods indicated. The
    weighted average number of shares used in the calculation of pro forma net
    income per share information reflects the issuance of such number of shares
    of Common Stock offered hereby which would be necessary to generate net
    proceeds sufficient to fund the repayment of indebtedness and the
    distribution of undistributed S Corporation earnings through the time of the
    Offering. See "Prior S Corporation Status," "Corporate Reorganization,"
    "Selected Unaudited Condensed Pro Forma Financial Data," and Notes 1, 2, 14
    and 15 to the Company's Combined Financial Statements.
 
(2) The pro forma combined balance sheet data gives effect to the distribution
    of AAA Notes to existing shareholders from the AAA account in the amount of
    $9.0 million, the recognition of a net-deferred tax asset of $0.9 million
    resulting from the termination of one of the Related Corporation's S
    Corporation status and the elimination of certain net liabilities of Limited
    not being acquired as part of the Reorganization. For further information
    and definitions, see "Prior S Corporation Status," "Selected Unaudited
    Condensed Pro Forma Financial Data," and Notes 2, 14 and 15 to the Combined
    Financial Statements.

                                  RISK FACTORS
 
     Any investment in the shares of Common Stock offered hereby involves a high
degree of risk. Prospective investors should consider carefully the following
factors in evaluating an investment in the shares of Common Stock.
 
SUBSTANTIAL DEPENDENCE ON U.S. MILITARY CONTRACTS AND EXCLUSIVE ARMORING
CONTRACT
 
     Since August 1993, U.S. Military contracts have accounted for an increasing
portion of the Company's business, representing 28.5%, 50.1%, 45.6% and 72.4% of
net sales for 1993, 1994, 1995 and the six months ended June 30, 1996,
respectively. Prior to August 1993, the Company's business did not include
armoring military vehicles. The Company's U.S. Military contracts are funded in
annual increments and require subsequent authorization and appropriation which
may not occur or which may provide less than the total amount of the contract
due to budgetary or other considerations. The Company's current contracts for
504 HMMWVs (of which 320 had been shipped as of August 31, 1996) are scheduled
to be completed in early 1997. There can be no assurance that future contracts
will be received or as to the size of any contracts that are received.
Fluctuations in spending by the U.S. Government for national defense could
adversely affect the Company's ability to receive future contracts. Moreover, a
variety of international and/or domestic political factors or decisions could
result in the cancellation of the HMMWV armoring project or a curtailing of its
scope. The loss of, or a significant reduction in, this business would have a
material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows. See "Business -- U.S. Government Contracts."
 
     AM General Corporation ("AM General") is the exclusive designer and
manufacturer of HMMWVs for the U.S. Military. Under an agreement which expires
in November 1998, the Company serves as the primary designer and integrator for
all of AM General's ballistic systems and as its primary armoring integrator on
all other programs. This agreement also establishes the Company as AM General's
primary subcontractor for providing armoring kits and parts, and requires AM
General to involve the Company in the design, development or procurement of any
other armoring systems. The Company's relationship with AM General has had, and
the Company believes will continue to have, a favorable impact on its business.
There can be no assurance that future contracts will be entered into with AM
General or as to the size of any such contracts. A substantial reduction in, or
termination of, the Company's business with AM General could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows.
 
RISK OF U.S. GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN
 
     On several occasions during the U.S. Government's 1996 fiscal year, certain
operations essentially were "shut down" because of budget impasses between the
U.S. Congress and the White House. During these periods, payments to the Company
under its U.S. Military contracts were delayed. Future U.S. Government shut
downs, if sufficiently prolonged, could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
SINGLE AND PRIMARY SOURCE SUPPLIERS
 
     The Up-Armored HMMWVs armored by the Company are manufactured under U.S.
Military contracts by AM General. Should AM General for any reason be unable to
deliver HMMWVs to the Company, as occurred during 1995, or should the U.S.
Military elect or be obligated to select a new HMMWV supplier, there could be a
material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows.
 
     The majority of the glass used by the Company in armoring its vehicles
currently is obtained from Pilkington Aerospace Limited. Should the Company at
some time find it necessary to select one or more additional or substitute
suppliers, delays could be encountered in obtaining product which meets the
Company's specifications.
 
     A majority of the Company's cost of armoring HMMWVs consists of components
which are purchased from various vendors and suppliers. Component prices are
generally negotiated based on, among other things,
 
                                        8
<PAGE>   11
 
the Company's expected manufacturing volume. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to predict accurately the anticipated manufacturing volume.
As a result, the Company may be subject to future cost increases which could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows.
 
     The transportable satellite telecommunications terminals marketed for the
Company by Magellan Systems Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Orbital
Sciences Corp., under the microCOM-M name and marketed directly by the Company
under the Compact-M brand name are manufactured to Company specifications by a
single third party manufacturer, Glocom, Inc. ("Glocom"). If Glocom at some time
is unable to fulfill the Company's needs for such satellite terminals, the
Company may be unable to fill customer orders. Such an occurrence could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows.
 
FLUCTUATIONS IN OPERATING RESULTS
 
     Approximately 72.4% of the Company's net sales for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 were derived from U.S. Military contracts and an additional 6.2%
were derived from commercial contracts with U.S. governmental agencies or
foreign governments. These contracts generally are awarded on a periodic or
sporadic basis. The Company frequently receives substantial orders, and begins
to incur related expenses, in one quarter, the revenues from which will not be
received until one or more subsequent quarters. As a result, the Company
generally has significant fluctuations from time to time in its business.
Historically, these fluctuations have not been seasonal. Period-to-period
comparisons within a given year or between years may not be meaningful or
indicative of operating results over a full fiscal year. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations --
General."
 
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FIXED PRICE CONTRACTS
 
     A substantial portion of the Company's projects are currently performed on
a fixed-price basis. The Company attempts to cover anticipated increases in
labor, material and service costs of long-term fixed-price contracts through an
estimation of such increases which is reflected in the original price. Despite
these attempts, however, the revenue, cost and gross profit realized on a
fixed-price contract will often vary from the estimated amounts due to
unforeseen conditions or changes in job conditions and variations in
productivity over the term of the contract. These variations and the risks
generally inherent in fixed-price contracts may result in the gross profits
realized by the Company being different from those originally estimated and may
result in the Company's experiencing reduced profitability or losses on
projects. Depending on the size of a contract, these variations from estimated
contract performance could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
results of operations for any quarter or year.
 
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH PERCENTAGE-OF-COMPLETION ACCOUNTING
 
     The Company's net sales from government contracts and most commercial
contracts are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. Under this
method, estimated contract revenues are accrued based generally on the
percentage that costs to date bear to total estimated costs. Estimated contract
losses are recognized in full when determined. Accordingly, contract revenues
and total cost estimates are reviewed and revised periodically as the work
progresses and as change orders are approved, and adjustments based upon the
percentage of completion are reflected in contract revenues in the period when
such estimates are revised. To the extent that these adjustments result in an
increase, a reduction or an elimination of previously reported contract
revenues, the Company would recognize a credit or a charge against current
earnings, which could be material. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Impact on Operations."
 
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH BUSINESS STRATEGY
 
     The Company's strategy is to become a fully integrated global security
company. Part of this strategy requires the establishment of new lines of
business by expanding the Company's Security Systems Integration Group and
developing the Security Services Group. Historically, the Company has not
generated revenues
 
                                        9
<PAGE>   12
 
from these new lines of business. The Company's primary business and experience
historically has been in vehicle armoring. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to build or manage profitably these businesses without
substantial costs, delays or other problems, which could have a material adverse
effect upon the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows.
 
     As the Company's business develops and expands, the Company will need to
implement enhanced operational and financial systems and will require additional
employees, management and operational and financial resources. There can be no
assurance that the Company will successfully implement and maintain such
operational and financial systems or successfully obtain, integrate or utilize
the employees, management and operational and financial resources required to
manage a developing and expanding business. Failure to implement such systems
successfully and use such resources effectively could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows.
 
     The Company's business strategy requires substantial capital. In addition,
the expansion of the Company's business into related products and services may
require additional capital. Such capital may be obtained by borrowings under the
Company's credit facilities, through the issuance of long-term or short-term
indebtedness or through the issuance of equity securities in private or public
transactions. This could result in increased interest expense and/or dilution of
existing equity positions. There can be no assurance that acceptable capital
financing for future growth can be obtained on suitable terms, if at all. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations."
 
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ACQUISITION STRATEGY
 
     A further part of the Company's strategy is to grow through the acquisition
of companies that will complement its existing operations or provide it with an
entry into markets it does not currently serve. Growth through acquisitions
involves substantial risks, including the risk of improper valuation of the
acquired business and the risk of inadequate integration. There can be no
assurance that suitable acquisition candidates will be available, that the
Company will be able to acquire or manage profitably such additional companies
or that future acquisitions will produce returns that justify the Company's
investments therein. In addition, the Company may compete for acquisition and
expansion opportunities with companies that have significantly greater resources
than the Company.
 
     The Company may finance future acquisitions with cash from operations or
additional debt or equity financings. There can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to generate internal cash or obtain financing from external sources
or that, if available, such financing will be on terms acceptable to the
Company. The issuance of additional Common Stock to finance acquisitions may
result in substantial dilution to the purchasers of the Common Stock offered
hereby. Any debt financing may significantly increase the Company's leverage and
may involve restrictive covenants which limit the Company's operations. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources."
 
     If the Company is successful in acquiring additional businesses, the
Company may experience a period of rapid growth which could place significant
additional demands on the Company's management, resources and management
information systems. The Company's failure to manage any such rapid growth
effectively could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
COMPETITION
 
     The markets in which the Company does or intends to do business are highly
competitive. There are a large number of companies, both public and private,
involved in one or more aspects of security hardware, security systems
integration and security services, as well as satellite telecommunications
services. Furthermore, the Company may encounter additional competition from
future industry entrants. Certain of the Company's current competitors have, and
new competitors may have, substantially greater financial and other resources
than the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to
develop and market products or services that will be accepted in the marketplace
or that it will be able to compete
 
                                       10
<PAGE>   13
 
effectively in the future, either of which could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. See
"Business -- Competition."
 
POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC RISKS
 
     The Company has operations and assets in Brazil, Italy, Mexico and Russia.
In addition, the Company sells its products and services in other foreign
countries and is seeking to increase its level of international business
activity. Accordingly, the Company is subject to various risks, including U.S.
imposed embargoes of sales to specific countries, foreign currency restrictions,
exchange rate fluctuations, expropriation of assets, war, civil uprisings and
riots, government instability and legal systems of decrees, laws, regulations,
interpretations and court decisions which are not always fully developed and
which may be retroactively applied. The Company's operations in foreign
countries may be adversely affected in that certain governmental agencies in
such countries may interpret laws, regulations or court decisions in a manner
which might be considered inconsistent or inequitable in other countries. The
Company may be subject to unanticipated income taxes, excise duties, import
taxes, export taxes or other governmental assessments. There can be no assurance
that such risks will not result in a loss of business or other unexpected costs
which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows. See "Business."
 
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
 
     As a contractor with agencies of the U.S. Government, the Company is
obligated to comply with a variety of regulations governing certain aspects of
its operations and the workplace. Additionally, the Company's contracts give the
contracting agency the right to conduct audits of the Company's facilities and
operations, and such audits occur routinely. An audit involves a U.S.
Governmental agency's review of the Company's compliance with the prescribed
procedures established in connection with the government contract. The Company
also may be subject to investigations as a result of an audit or other causes.
Adverse findings in an audit or other investigation, including violations of
environmental or labor laws, could result in fines or other penalties, up to and
including disqualification as a U.S. Government contractor. In addition, U.S.
Government contracts may contain cost or performance incentives based on stated
targets or other criteria. Failure to meet these stated targets or criteria
could result in penalties or lost profits to the Company. Any or all of these
matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
     The Company is subject to federal licensing requirements with respect to
the sale in foreign countries of certain of its hardware products. Regulations
promulgated by the U.S. Commerce Department require the Company to obtain a
general destination license in connection with the sale of certain commercial
products in foreign countries, and certain U.S. State Department regulations
require the Company to file an export license in connection with sales of
military equipment in foreign countries. Furthermore, the U.S. State Department
prohibits all sales of military equipment to certain countries, including Cuba,
Iran, Iraq, Libya and China. There can be no assurance that such regulations
will not become more restrictive in the future, which could limit the Company's
ability to market its products internationally. See "Business -- U.S. Government
Regulation."
 
MANAGEMENT OF LABOR FORCE
 
     Due to the nature of the Company's contracts, which are awarded
periodically and are not assured for future periods, the Company may need to
hire, lay-off and rehire workers. As a result, the Company may spend substantial
time and effort training and supervising new, essentially unskilled, personnel
hired to supplement its existing trained work force. There can be no assurance
that sufficient workers will be available at any time, or can be trained in
time, so as not to interfere with the Company's ability to accept large new
orders or to meet contractual delivery deadlines. Alternatively, if the Company
were to experience production delays, as occurred with respect to the Company's
HMMWV production in 1995, it may be necessary to maintain manufacturing and
engineering support personnel in order to meet contract deadlines once
 
                                       11
<PAGE>   14
 
production resumes. These matters could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
 
     The Company's operations are dependent on the continued efforts of its
executive officers and on its senior management, particularly Mr. Thomas M.
O'Gara, its Chairman of the Board, and Mr. Wilfred T. O'Gara, its Chief
Executive Officer. If the executive officers of the Company become unable or
decide not to continue in their present positions, or if a number of senior
managers fail to continue with the Company and the Company is unable to attract
and retain replacements, the Company's business could be adversely affected. See
"Management."
 
CONTROL BY MANAGEMENT
 
     After the Offering, the Company's officers and directors will control
approximately 57% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock and will be able to
control most matters requiring approval by shareholders, including the election
of directors. In addition, the Board of Directors has the authority to issue
100,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock and to determine the rights,
preferences, privileges and restrictions of such shares without further action
by shareholders. Ohio law contains provisions that may discourage takeover bids
for the Company that have not been negotiated with the Board of Directors. Each
of these factors could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in
control of the Company and, accordingly, could limit the price that investors
might be willing to pay for the Common Stock. See "Principal and Selling
Shareholders" and "Description of Capital Stock."
 
PRODUCT LIABILITY
 
     Although the Company has never had a product liability claim made against
it, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be subject to claims of
liability in the future. The Company carries liability insurance in the amount
of $10.0 million; however, a successful claim could result in liability in
excess of coverage limits and have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
NO PRIOR PUBLIC MARKET; DETERMINATION OF INITIAL OFFERING PRICE
 
     Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Common
Stock. The initial public offering price of the Common Stock was determined by
negotiation among the Company, the Selling Shareholders and the Managing
Underwriters and may not be indicative of the market price for shares of the
Common Stock after the Offering.
 
     Although application has been made for quotation and trading of the Common
Stock on the Nasdaq National Market, no assurance can be given that an active
market for the Common Stock will develop or, if developed, will continue. If no
active market develops, it may be difficult for purchasers to resell their
Common Stock. The Managing Underwriters have advised the Company that they
intend to make a market for the Common Stock, although they are under no
obligation to do so. Were such market making to be discontinued, investors would
encounter difficulty effecting purchase or sale transactions in the absence of
alternative market makers. See "Underwriting."
 
POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF STOCK
 
     The market price for the Common Stock may be highly volatile. The Company
believes that a variety of factors, including announcements by the Company or
its competitors, quarterly variations in financial results, trading volume,
general market trends and other factors, could cause the market price of the
Common Stock to fluctuate substantially. In addition, the stock market has
experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that are often unrelated to
the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may
adversely affect the price of the Common Stock.
 
                                       12
<PAGE>   15
 
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
     Sales of a substantial number of shares of Common Stock, or the perception
that such sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices for
the Common Stock and may make it more difficult for the Company to sell shares
of Common Stock in the future at times and for prices that it deems appropriate.
Upon completion of the Offering, the Company will have 7,011,846 shares of
Common Stock outstanding (assuming no exercise of the Underwriters'
over-allotment option and no exercise of outstanding stock options). The
2,800,000 shares of Common Stock offered hereby will be freely tradeable without
restriction under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").
The remaining 4,211,846 shares of outstanding Common Stock may not be resold
unless they are registered under the Securities Act or sold pursuant to an
applicable exemption from registration, including Rule 144 under the Securities
Act. All of the outstanding shares not offered hereby are subject to "lock-up"
agreements with the Underwriters expiring 180 days after the date of this
Prospectus and may be sold during that period only with the prior written
consent of Dillon, Read & Co. Inc. Dillon, Read & Co. Inc., in its sole
discretion, and at any time without prior notice, may release all or any portion
of the Common Stock subject to the lock-up agreements described herein. When
such lock-up restrictions lapse, the Common Stock may be sold in the public
market or otherwise disposed of in compliance with the Securities Act. See
"Shares Eligible for Future Sale."
 
IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION
 
     Purchasers of the Common Stock offered hereby will experience immediate and
substantial dilution of $9.61 per share in the net tangible book value from the
initial public offering price per share (assuming an initial offering price of
$13.00 per share). See "Dilution."
 
ABSENCE OF DIVIDENDS
 
     The Company does not anticipate paying any dividends on its Common Stock in
the foreseeable future. See "Dividend Policy."
 
POTENTIAL ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECT AND POTENTIAL ADVERSE IMPACT ON MARKET PRICE OF
CERTAIN CHARTER AND CODE OF REGULATIONS PROVISIONS AND THE OHIO GENERAL
CORPORATION LAW
 
     Certain provisions of the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation and
Code of Regulations and of the Ohio Revised Code (the "Ohio GCL"), together or
separately, could discourage potential acquisition proposals, delay or prevent a
change in control of the Company and limit the price that certain investors
might be willing to pay in the future for the Common Stock.
 
     Pursuant to the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation, upon the
closing of the Offering, the Board of Directors of the Company will have
authority to issue up to 100,000 preferred shares without further shareholder
approval. Such preferred shares could have dividend, liquidation, conversion,
voting and other rights and privileges that are superior or senior to the Common
Stock. Issuance of preferred shares could result in the dilution of the voting
power of the Common Stock, adversely affect holders of the Common Stock in the
event of liquidation of the Company or delay, defer or prevent a change in
control of the Company.
 
     In addition, Sections 1701.01 and 1701.831 of the Ohio GCL contains
provisions that require shareholder approval of any proposed "control share
acquisition" of any Ohio corporation at any of three ownership thresholds: 20%,
33 1/3% and 50%; and Chapter 1704 of the Ohio GCL contains provisions that
restrict certain business combinations and other transactions between an Ohio
corporation and interested shareholders. See "Description of Capital
Stock -- Provisions Affecting Business Combinations and Changes in Control."
 
BENEFITS OF THE OFFERING TO CURRENT SHAREHOLDERS
 
     The Company intends to use approximately $9.0 million of the net proceeds
of the Offering to pay to the existing shareholders of OHE the principal of the
AAA Notes (as defined under "Prior S Corporation Status"). The principal amount
of the AAA Notes will be approximately equal to the accumulated earnings of OHE
on which taxes either have been paid or are payable by the existing
shareholders. In addition, the Selling Shareholders will receive directly a
portion of the proceeds of the Offering, the Offering will provide the
 
                                       13
<PAGE>   16
 
existing shareholders with liquidity through the creation of a public market and
certain of the existing shareholders will be released from guarantees of Company
indebtedness. See "Prior S Corporation Status," "Use of Proceeds" and "Shares
Eligible for Future Sale."
 
                           PRIOR S CORPORATION STATUS
 
     Prior to the Offering, the Company's business has been conducted by a group
of companies affiliated by substantially common ownership and control (the
"Related Corporations"). The Company's armoring business has been carried out
primarily by O'Gara-Hess & Eisenhardt Armoring Company, a Delaware corporation
("OHE"). Certain foreign armoring operations, and foreign sales for OHE, have
been carried out by O'Gara-Hess & Eisenhardt Armoring Company Limited, an Irish
corporation ("Limited"), and its subsidiaries. Satellite communications
operations have been carried out by O'Gara Satellite Networks Limited, an Irish
corporation ("OSN"), and its subsidiaries. Certain of these companies and their
businesses will be reorganized and combined with the Company (the
"Reorganization") prior to the completion of the Offering. See "Corporate
Reorganization."
 
     Since December 19, 1988, the inception date of its first taxable year, OHE
has elected to be treated as an S Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"). In general, an S Corporation is not treated as a
separate taxable entity, and an S Corporation's gains, income, losses and
separately stated tax items are taxed to its shareholders on a pro rata basis.
Since 1989, OHE has made periodic distributions to its shareholders. The balance
of taxed or taxable accumulated earnings which have not been distributed is
reflected in an "accumulated adjustments account" (the "AAA account"). In
connection with the Reorganization, OHE's S Corporation status will terminate,
and the Company will make a distribution to the existing shareholders of OHE of
promissory notes (the "AAA Notes") in an aggregate principal amount estimated to
be $9.0 million at the time of the Offering. The aggregate principal amount of
the AAA Notes will be approximately equal to the undistributed earnings in the
AAA account on which the shareholders either have paid or will be required to
pay income taxes. The amount of the AAA Notes includes an estimate of taxable
income through the anticipated effective date of the Offering. A portion of the
proceeds of the Offering will be used to repay the AAA Notes. See "Use of
Proceeds." Following the Reorganization, the Company will be subject to federal
and state income taxes.

<PAGE>   17
 
                            CORPORATE REORGANIZATION
 
     Pursuant to various agreements among the Company, OHE, Limited and the
equity holders of OHE, Limited and OSN, the operations of these corporations
will be reorganized and combined immediately prior to the effective date of the
Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part. After the
Reorganization, OHE and OSN will operate as wholly owned subsidiaries of the
Company, and OHE will succeed to the business formerly carried out by Limited
either directly or through subsidiary corporations.
 
     Equity interests in OHE and OSN, respectively, have been held beneficially
by the following individuals in the indicated percentages: Thomas M. O'Gara,
88.0% and 86.0%; Wilfred T. O'Gara, 5.8% and 5.0%; Thomas M. Letter, 3.7% and
3.4%; Charles A. Williams, 0.6% and 0%; Nicholas P. Carpinello, 1.3% and 0.6%;
Richard L. Curotto, 0.6% and 0%; and Neil P. Saldin, 0% and 5%. One hundred
percent of the equity interest in Limited has been held by an Individual
Retirement Account (the "IRA") for the benefit of Thomas M. Letter. However, OHE
holds an option to purchase 71% of Limited from the IRA for the amount of
$7,600, and Longline Leasing, Inc. (a Delaware corporation, established in
December 1993 and owned by Thomas M. O'Gara, Wilfred T. O'Gara, Thomas M.
Letter, Charles A. Williams and Nicholas P. Carpinello ("Longline")) holds a
similar option to purchase 24% of Limited for the amount of $1,900.
 
     Pursuant to various agreements dated August 23, 1996 among OHE, Limited and
the equity holders of OHE, Limited and OSN, the operations of these corporations
will be reorganized and combined immediately prior to the effective date of the
Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part. The equity holders of
OHE will transfer their ownership interests in OHE to the Company in exchange
for Common Stock of the Company. The equity holders of OSN will then transfer
their ownership interests in OSN to the Company in exchange for shares of Common
Stock. Following these transactions, the beneficial ownership of Common Stock of
the Company immediately prior to the Offering will be as follows: Thomas M.
O'Gara, 87.4%; Wilfred T. O'Gara, 5.6%; Thomas M. Letter, 3.7%; Neil P. Saldin,
1.0%; Nicholas P. Carpinello, 1.2%; Richard L. Curotto, 0.5%; and Charles A.
Williams, 0.6%. See "Principal and Selling Shareholders." In addition, OHE will
acquire certain selected assets and assume certain selected liabilities of
Limited for consideration (including OHE's interest in O'Gara Overseas Services,
S.A. -- see "Certain Relationships and Related Party
Transactions -- Intercompany Notes and Accounts Payable/Receivable") which the
Board of Directors of the Company believes represents the fair value of such
assets and liabilities. Following these transactions, Limited will have an
estimated book value of approximately $540,000. The option to purchase 71% of
Limited from the IRA will be transferred as a dividend, on a pro rata basis, to
the current shareholders of OHE.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
     The net proceeds from the sale of the 2,400,000 shares of Common Stock
offered by the Company hereby (at an assumed initial public offering price of
$13.00 per share), after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and expenses
payable by the Company in connection with the Offering, are estimated to be
approximately $28.0 million ($33.1 million if the Underwriters' over-allotment
option is exercised in full). The Company will not receive any proceeds from the
shares of Common Stock sold by the Selling Shareholders. See "Principal and
Selling Shareholders."
 
     The net proceeds to be received by the Company will be used as follows: (i)
to repay existing indebtedness (including indebtedness to certain directors and
officers) approximating $13.9 million at June 30, 1996; (ii) approximately $9.0
million to pay the principal amount of the AAA Notes dividended to the existing
shareholders of OHE in connection with the termination of the S Corporation
status of OHE; (iii) approximately $1.2 million to exercise an option to
purchase the Company's leased Mexico City manufacturing facility (which is now
leased from an unrelated third party); (iv) approximately $0.8 million to pay
the initial installments for the acquisition of Palmer Associates, S.C.; and (v)
the remaining $3.1 million for general corporate purposes, including potential
acquisitions and working capital. There can be no assurance that such
allocations will not be changed to respond to changes in the Company's business
or future conditions. The amounts actually expended for such purposes may vary
significantly and are subject to change at the Company's discretion, depending
upon certain factors, including economic conditions, the competitive environment
and strategic opportunities that may arise. See "Business -- Business Strategy."
Pending such uses, the Company intends to invest the net proceeds from the
Offering in short-term investment grade instruments. The debt to be repaid
includes amounts outstanding ($13.6 million at June 30, 1996 and $15.1 million
at August 27, 1996) under a credit line with a commercial bank expiring November
1, 1996 bearing interest at the prime rate on the first $12.5 million of
borrowings and 1% in excess of the prime rate on borrowings in excess of $12.5
million and amounts payable to certain of the Company's directors, officers and
shareholders. A portion of the credit line is guaranteed by certain of the
Company's shareholders. See "Certain Relationships and Related Party
Transactions."
 
     Following the closing of the Offering and of an anticipated $     million
new credit agreement, the Company anticipates that it will have approximately
$1.9 million of outstanding indebtedness and approximately $     million in
additional funds available under such new credit agreement, which funds may be
used for general corporate purposes, including the financing of acquisitions of
companies that will complement the Company's existing operations or provide it
with an entry into new markets. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital
Resources" and "Business -- Business Strategy."
 
                                DIVIDEND POLICY
 
     The Company anticipates that, after distribution of the AAA Notes to OHE's
shareholders and the termination of OHE's S Corporation status in connection
with the Offering, any future earnings will be retained to finance the Company's
operations and for the growth and development of its business. See "Prior S
Corporation Status." Accordingly, the Company currently does not anticipate
paying cash dividends on its shares of Common Stock in the foreseeable future.
The payment of any future dividends will be subject to the discretion of the
Board of Directors of the Company and will depend on the Company's results of
operations, financial position and capital requirements, general business
conditions, restrictions imposed by financing arrangements, if any, legal
restrictions on the payment of dividends and other factors the Board of
Directors deems relevant.

     The following table sets forth the short-term debt and capitalization of
the Company as of June 30, 1996 on an actual basis, pro forma as of such date to

adjusted for the sale by the Company of 2,400,000 of the shares of Common Stock
offered hereby (assuming an initial offering price of $13.00 per share) and the
application of the net proceeds therefrom, after deducting estimated
underwriting discounts and expenses payable by the Company in connection with
the Offering. See "Use of Proceeds." The table should be read in conjunction

                                    DILUTION
 
     The pro forma net tangible book value of the Company as of June 30, 1996,
giving effect to the Reorganization, related accounting adjustments and the
dividend of the $9.0 million principal amount of the AAA Notes to the Company's
existing shareholders (see "Prior S Corporation Status" and "Corporate
Reorganization"), was approximately $(4.3) million, or $(.93) per share of
Common Stock. Net tangible book value per share represents the Company's total
tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding. After giving effect to the sale of the 2,400,000
shares of Common Stock offered by the Company hereby at an assumed initial
public offering price of $13.00 per share (and deducting underwriting discounts
and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company), the pro forma as
adjusted net tangible book value of the Company as of June 30, 1996 would have
been approximately $23.7 million, or $3.39 per share. This represents an
immediate increase in net tangible book value of approximately $4.32 per share
to existing shareholders and an immediate dilution of $9.61 per share to new
investors purchasing shares in the Offering. See "Use of Proceeds." The
following table illustrates this per share dilution in net tangible book value
per share to new investors as of June 30, 1996:

                        SELECTED COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA
 
     The selected historical combined financial data presented below as of
December 31, 1994 and 1995 and for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1995 have been derived from the combined financial statements of
the Company which have been audited by Arthur Andersen LLP, independent public
accountants, as indicated in their report included elsewhere herein. The
combined financial data as of December 31, 1991, 1992 and 1993 and as of June
30, 1996 and for the years ended December 31, 1991 and 1992 and for the six
month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, are derived from the Company's
unaudited combined financial statements. In the opinion of management, the
six-month financial data reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of such data and are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. The selected
combined financial data should be read in conjunction with the Combined
Financial Statements and Notes thereto and "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

(1) Prior to the Offering, the Company's business has been conducted by a group
    of corporations (the "Related Corporations") affiliated by substantially
    common management and control. See "Corporate Reorganization." The most
    significant of the Related Corporations has elected to be treated as an S
    Corporation for federal and state income tax purposes, and such Related
    Corporation's income has been allocable to its shareholders for income tax
    purposes, rather than being taxed at the corporate level. Accordingly, the
    Selected Combined Financial Data do not contain a provision for income
    taxes. See "Prior S Corporation Status," the Combined Statements of
    Operations and Notes 2, 14 and 15 to the Company's Combined Financial

             SELECTED UNAUDITED CONDENSED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA
 
     The selected unaudited condensed pro forma financial data have been derived
from the combined financial statements of the Company. The unaudited pro forma
income statement data for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 and the six
months ended June 30, 1996, give effect to (i) the Reorganization and OHE's C
Corporation election, (ii) the Company's filing a consolidated U.S. Federal tax
return and (iii) reduction in interest expense related to the repayment of
certain existing debt from the proceeds of the Offering. The unaudited condensed
pro forma balance sheet data give effect to such transactions and to the
Offering and the use of the net proceeds therefrom after deducting underwriting
discounts and estimated expenses payable by the Company as if such transactions
had occurred on June 30, 1996. See "Prior S Corporation Status," "Corporate
Reorganization" and "Use of Proceeds."
 
     The selected unaudited condensed pro forma financial data and accompanying
notes should be read in conjunction with the Combined Financial Statements of
the Company and the Notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein. The unaudited pro
forma financial data are provided for informational purposes only and do not
purport to represent what the Company's financial position or results of
operations actually would have been had the transactions described therein been
completed as of the date or at the beginning of the periods indicated, or to

date or for any future period.

(1) The unaudited pro forma statement of operations data do not reflect certain
    non-recurring items which will be incurred at the time of the Offering
    including a non-cash expense, with a corresponding increase in additional
    paid-in capital, of approximately $37,000 for certain sales of shares. In
    addition, the Company will record a net deferred tax credit of $883,000 as a
    result of the termination of OHE's S Corporation status. See "Prior S
    Corporation Status," "Corporate Reorganization" and "Certain Relationships
    and Related Party Transactions -- Exercise of Stock Options and Sale of
    Shares."
 
(2) Adjustments reflect the reduction in interest expense related to the
    repayment of certain existing debt from the proceeds of the Offering. See
    "Use of Proceeds."
 
(3) Adjustments reflect the recording of federal and state income taxes at an
    effective rate of 40% as if OHE had been a C Corporation and as if the
    Company had filed a consolidated U.S. federal tax return during each such
    period. See "Prior S Corporation Status" and "Corporate Reorganization."
 
(4) The pro forma weighted average common shares outstanding is based on the
    weighted average common shares outstanding, using the treasury stock method,
    for the applicable period, as adjusted for the number of Common Shares
    required to be issued by the Company in the Offering to generate sufficient
    net proceeds to repay debt and to fund planned distributions of the AAA
    Notes to the existing shareholders of OHE.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
     The following discussion of results of operations and financial condition
is based upon and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Combined
Financial Statements and Notes thereto, the selected combined financial data and
other financial data appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus.
 
GENERAL
 
     The Company is a leading provider of security hardware products and
integrated satellite communication systems to commercial and governmental
clients worldwide and is currently pursuing additional opportunities in the
security services area. The Company's primary products include the armoring of
commercial and military vehicles and the integration of satellite communications
hardware and software. In 1996, the Company began offering integrated site
protection security systems and plans to offer security services including
training, guard services, site surveys and security engineering documentation
systems.
 
     In 1995, the Company's net sales were $1.1 million lower than the prior
year due to a six-month delay in the delivery of HMMWV chassis from a supplier
that led to the production of 116 fewer Up-Armored HMMWVs than originally
planned. During this period, it was necessary to maintain manufacturing and
engineering support personnel to ensure production deadlines would be met once
the chassis were delivered. These support costs of approximately $0.6 million
occurred without a corresponding increase in net sales. Also, 1995 operating
expenses included $0.4 million in new selling and marketing expenses relating to
the start-up of the Company's satellite communication business. All these items
contributed to the Company's loss of $1.1 million for 1995.
 
     For the six months ended June 30, 1996, net sales improved to $41.5
million, compared to $12.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995. The
primary reason for this growth was a U.S. Military request to accelerate the
production of Up-Armored HMMWVs. U.S. Military net sales for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 were $30.0 million, armored commercial vehicle net sales
were $7.6 million, and net sales of the Company's satellite communications
business (representing the bulk of the Security Systems Integration Group's net
sales) were $3.8 million, compared to $3.5 million, $8.1 million and $0.6
million, respectively, for the corresponding 1995 period. Income before income
taxes for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased to $4.0 million compared
to a loss of $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995. In view of the
increased net sales from its acceleration of HMMWV production during the six
months ended June 30, 1996, the Company expects U.S. Military net sales for the
second half of 1996 to be lower than those for the first half. The Company
believes its commercial vehicle armoring and satellite communications businesses
will generate a greater percentage of the Company's future net sales. Increased
net sales are also expected to come from the Security Systems Integration Group
and Security Services Group.
 
IMPACT ON OPERATIONS
 
     The Company's Combined Financial Statements have been or will be affected
by several factors, including: (i) revenue recognition, (ii) S Corporation
distributions and (iii) taxes on income in connection with the termination of
OHE's S Corporation status.
 
     Revenue recognition.  The Company's net sales from government contracts and
most commercial contracts are recognized using the percentage-of-completion
method calculated utilizing the cost-to-cost approach. Under this method,
estimated contract revenues are accrued based generally on the percentage that
costs to date bear to total estimated costs. Estimated contract losses are
recognized in full when determined. Accordingly, contract revenues and total
cost estimates are reviewed and revised periodically as the work progresses and
as change orders are approved, and adjustments based upon the percentage of
completion are reflected in contract revenues in the period when such estimates
are revised. To the extent that these adjustments result in an increase, a
reduction or an elimination of previously reported contract revenues, the
Company would recognize a credit or a charge against current earnings, which
could be material. Contract
 
                                       22
<PAGE>   25
 
costs include all direct material and labor costs, along with certain overhead
costs allocated to contract production.
 
     Provisions for any estimated total contract losses on uncompleted contracts
are recorded in the period in which it is concluded that such losses will occur.
Changes in estimated total contract costs will result in revisions to contract
revenue. The revisions are recognized when determined.
 
     Revenue related to telecommunications equipment and services is recognized
as equipment is shipped or as services are provided. Revenue and related direct
costs of brokered satellite time are recorded when payments are received from
customers.
 
     S Corporation distributions.  Since OHE elected S Corporation status in
1988, it has made distributions from time to time to its shareholders for the
purpose of funding their income tax payments on the income generated by OHE,
which income is taxable to the shareholders whether or not distributed. In
connection with the Reorganization, OHE is distributing to its shareholders a
dividend of approximately $9.0 million in AAA Notes, which approximates the
value of OHE's AAA account at the time of the Offering. See "Prior S Corporation
Status."
 
     Taxes on income.  In 1988, OHE elected to be treated as an S Corporation
under Subchapter S of the Code and comparable provisions of certain state tax
laws, and since then has paid no federal income tax. Prior to the
Reorganization, OHE will terminate its S Corporation status and thereafter the
Company will be responsible for federal and state income taxes.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1995
 
     Net sales.  Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were $41.5
million, an increase of $29.4 million or 241.4% compared to $12.2 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1995. The increase in net sales was primarily due
to an increase in costs incurred related to vehicles under the Up-Armored HMMWV
program. Net sales of military armoring products for the six months ended June
30, 1996 were $30.0 million,
 
                                       23
<PAGE>   26
 
an increase of $26.5 million or 757.3%, compared to $3.5 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1995. Net sales of commercial armoring products for the
six months ended June 30, 1996 were $7.6 million, a decrease of $0.4 million or
5.3%, compared to $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995. Net sales
of the satellite communications business for the six months ended June 30, 1996
were $3.8 million, an increase of $3.2 million or 548.5%, compared to $0.6
million for the six months ended June 30, 1995.
 
     Cost of sales.  Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was
$31.4 million, an increase of $22.1 million or 237.2% compared to $9.3 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1995. The increase in cost of sales was due to
the increase in production levels.
 
     Selling and marketing.  Selling and marketing expenses for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 were $2.2 million, an increase of $0.8 million or 59.6%,
compared to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995. This increase
was primarily attributable to expenses associated with increases in personnel
and advertising to implement the Company's business strategy.
 
     General and administrative.  General and administrative expenses for the
six months ended June 30, 1996 were $3.3 million, an increase of $1.2 million or
58.1%, compared to $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995. This
increase in administrative expenses was due to the addition of professional
employees to support the increased level of business activity.
 
     Interest expense.  Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1996
was $0.6 million, an increase of $0.2 million or 67.5%, compared to $0.4 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1995. This increase in interest expense was
due to increased borrowings to finance increased production levels.
 
1995 Compared to 1994
 
     Net sales.  Net sales were $32.8 million for 1995, a decrease of $1.1
million or 3.2%, compared to $33.9 million for 1994. The decrease in net sales
was primarily due to the late delivery of HMMWV chassis by a supplier which
resulted in a six-month delay in the armoring of HMMWVs for the Department of
Defense. Such delay was principally responsible for a decrease in net sales of
military armoring products to $15.0 million for 1995, a decrease of $2.0 million
or 12.0%, compared to $17.0 million for 1994. Net sales of commercial armoring
products were $15.8 million for 1995, a decrease of $0.7 million or 4.0%,
compared to $16.5 million for 1994. Net sales of the satellite communications
business were $2.0 million, an increase of $1.6 million or 358.3%, compared to
$0.4 million for 1994.
 
     Cost of sales.  Cost of sales was $25.2 million for 1995, an increase of
$0.7 million or 3.0%, compared to $24.5 million for 1994. The increase in cost
of sales was primarily due to the absorption of manufacturing and material
overhead associated with the six-month delay in the armoring of the HMMWVs for
the Department of Defense. Since production was expected to return to
anticipated levels once the delay period ended, the Company retained its
manufacturing personnel and did not temporarily reduce its head count. As a
result of this delay and the increased percentage of sales associated with
military sales, which have a lower gross profit margin than commercial sales,
cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased to 76.9% for 1995 from
72.3% for 1994. In addition, engineering expenses for OHE increased
approximately $0.5 million to $1.1 million as a result of the additional
engineering requirements for the HMMWV contract.
 
     Selling and marketing.  Selling and marketing expenses were $3.6 million
for 1995, an increase of $0.9 million or 32.6%, compared to $2.7 million for
1994. This increase was primarily attributable to increased sales personnel and
travel expenses that were incurred to support OSN's growth.
 
     General and administrative.  General and administrative expenses were $4.1
million for 1995, a decrease of $0.3 million or 7.0%, compared to $4.4 million
for 1994. Increases in personnel costs were offset by lower travel and insurance
costs.
 
                                       24
<PAGE>   27
 
     Interest expense.  Interest expense was $0.8 million for 1995, an increase
of $0.4 million or 105.4%, compared to $0.4 million for 1994. This increase in
interest expense was due to additional borrowings to finance working capital
growth and the HMMWV contract.
 
1994 Compared to 1993
 
     Net sales.  Net sales were $33.9 million for 1994, an increase of $12.9
million or 61.1%, compared to $21.1 million for 1993. The increase in net sales
was due to costs incurred relating to additional HMMWV production. Net sales of
military armoring products were $17.0 million for 1994, an increase of $11.0
million or 183.7%, compared to $6.0 million for 1993. Net sales of commercial
armoring products were $16.5 million for 1994, an increase of $2.3 million or
16.4%, compared to $14.2 million for 1993. Net sales of the satellite
communications business were $0.4 million for 1994, a decrease of $0.5 million
or 51.2%, compared to $0.9 million for 1993.
 
     Cost of sales.  Cost of sales was $24.5 million for 1994, an increase of
$9.9 million or 67.4%, compared to $14.6 million for 1993. This increase was due
to costs incurred relating to additional HMMWV production. Cost of sales as a
percentage of net sales increased to 72.3% for 1994 from 69.5% for 1993 due to
the increased percentage of sales associated with military sales, which have a
lower gross profit margin than commercial sales.
 
     Selling and marketing.  Selling and marketing expenses were $2.7 million
for 1994, an increase of $0.8 million or 41.6%, compared to $1.9 million for
1993. This increase was primarily attributable to increased personnel and travel
and promotion expenses.
 
     General and administrative.  General and administrative expenses were $4.4
million for 1994, an increase of $1.2 million or 40.1%, compared to $3.2 million
for 1993. This increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due
to additional personnel to support the higher level of business activity and
increased travel related leasing expenses.
 
     Interest expense.  Interest expense was $0.4 million for 1994, an increase
of $0.1 million or 52.4%, compared to $0.3 million for 1993. This increase
resulted from the increase in interest rates for 1994 over 1993.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
     General.  The Company's principal sources of liquidity are internally
generated funds and credit arrangements. The Company plans to repay a
significant portion of its existing bank debt with proceeds from the Offering.
 
     Existing credit agreements.  The Company is party to various credit
arrangements aggregating $16.5 million principally with The Fifth Third Bank.
The Company currently has a $12.0 million revolving credit loan that matures
November 1, 1996 and a $4.0 million facility that matures on February 14, 1997.
Outstanding borrowings under these credit arrangements were approximately $13.6
million as of June 30, 1996 and $15.1 million as of August 27, 1996. These
credit arrangements bear interest at the prime rate, which was 8.25% at June 30,
1996, on the first $12.5 million in borrowings and 1% in excess of the prime
rate on borrowings in excess of $12.5 million. The remaining $0.5 million credit
arrangement is with a Brazilian bank to support the Company's Brazilian
subsidiary.
 
     New credit agreement.  The Company expects to enter into a new credit
agreement to replace the existing credit arrangements with The Fifth Third Bank.
The new credit agreement will provide the Company with a $  million,
year, unsecured revolving credit facility together with an $     million letter
of credit facility that will provide the Company with significantly more
favorable terms and conditions than the existing credit arrangements. The new
credit agreement will contain certain financial covenants. The new credit
agreement will not be guaranteed by any of the Company's shareholders. The
Company expects that the
 
                                       25
<PAGE>   28
 
net proceeds of the Offering, together with the new credit agreement, will be
sufficient to fund the Company's operations (without giving effect to additional
acquisitions) for at least the next 12 months.
 
     Cash flows from operating activities.  Net cash used in operating
activities was $2.3 million and $4.0 million for the years ended December 31,
1994 and 1995, respectively, and $0.9 million and $1.2 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. In each period, except for
the six months ended June 30, 1995, the Company experienced a significant
aggregate net increase in receivables, vendor advances, costs in excess of
billings and inventories. These working capital requirements related to
increased production and sales in 1994 and for the first six months of 1996 and,
in 1995, a $3.4 million increase in advances to vendors.
 
     Capital expenditures.  Historically, the Company has limited its capital
expenditure requirements by leasing facilities and equipment from affiliated
entities. See "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions." Capital
expenditures totaled $0.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 1996, $0.6
million in 1995, $0.7 million in 1994 and $0.6 million in 1993. The Company
anticipates capital expenditures will total approximately $2.7 million in 1996,
including $1.2 million to purchase its leased Mexico City manufacturing
facility.
 
     Cash flows from financing activities.  Net cash provided by financing
activities of $3.6 million and $4.6 million for the years ended December 31,
1995 and 1996, respectively, and $0.8 million and $3.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively, was primarily from net
increases in borrowings under the Company's revolving lines of credit.
 
     S Corporation distributions.  OHE elected S Corporation status in 1988 and
has made distributions to its shareholders for the purpose of paying taxes on
income generated by OHE which is taxable to the shareholders. Upon the
Reorganization, OHE will terminate its S Corporation status and distribute to
its shareholders a dividend of approximately $9.0 million in AAA Notes, which
approximates the balance of OHE's AAA account. These AAA Notes will be paid with
a portion of the proceeds of this Offering. See "Prior S Corporation Status."
 
     Foreign operations.  The Company attempts to mitigate the risks of doing
business in developing countries by separately incorporating its operations in
certain such countries; having local partners in certain countries; entering
into contracts providing for payment in U.S. dollars instead of the local
currency where possible; maintaining reserves for credit losses; and maintaining
insurance on equipment to protect against losses related to political risks and
terrorism.
 
     Backlog.  The Company's backlog at December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1996 was
approximately $42.0 million and $39.0 million, respectively. Backlog consists of
net sales value for firm orders not previously included in net sales on the
basis of percentage of completion accounting. Because many factors affect the
conclusion of definitive agreements for contracts awarded and the production and
delivery of the Company's products, no assurance can be given as to whether or
when net sales will be recognized from the Company's backlog. Year-to-year
comparisons of backlog are not necessarily indicative of future operating
results.
 
     Quarterly fluctuations.  The Company's operations are not seasonal, but may
fluctuate on a quarterly basis as a result of the timing of contract costs. The
incurrence of contract costs and related production scheduling must be
responsive to specific customer delivery requirements which may involve the
acceleration of deliveries under a contract at a customer's request due to the
customer's urgent needs, such as occurred with the HMMWV contract in 1996. The
Company's liquidity may be affected by the payment terms of its U.S. Military
and certain foreign government contracts.

                               INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
 
     The Company's products and services are offered in two distinct areas of
the global security industry: (i) the market for add-on ("applique") armoring
systems for military vehicles and (ii) the commercial security market.
 
MILITARY MARKET OVERVIEW
 
     The military market for vehicle armoring systems historically has focused
on providing opaque and transparent armor for heavy tracked vehicles such as
tanks and armored personnel carriers and for other weaponry such as helicopters
and missile systems. Recently, the market for ballistic and blast protected
armoring systems has experienced significant growth largely due to the changing
nature of military conflicts and shrinking military budgets. These changes have
led to an increased threat to wheeled vehicles used in their traditional roles
and the broadening of the use of wheeled vehicles into traditional combat roles.
The expanded use of more versatile tactical wheeled vehicles ("TWVs"), such as
the HMMWV, the Heavy Expanded Multipurpose Tactical Truck ("HEMTT") and the
Palletized Loading System ("PLS"), in the late 1980s and 1990s, have provided
the basis of a fleet of TWVs which will require significantly greater add-on
armoring protection.
 
     Military conflicts increasingly require rapidly deployable forces and
equipment which are light, highly mobile and protected. For example, over the
past few years the U.S. Military and the United Nations have dispatched
peacekeeping forces to troubled situations in Bosnia, Somalia and Haiti. In
these conflicts, there are no defined "front lines," and engagements can arise
from all sides at any time. In addition, the nature of these conflicts, and in
particular the indiscriminate use of landmines of both the antipersonnel and
antitank type, have emphasized the risk from blast effects in addition to
ballistic weapons. Thus, the use of TWVs, which had historically operated behind
friendly lines with little need for armored protection, now requires integrated
armoring systems which protect against ballistic and blast effects to limit the
risks to their occupants. Armored TWVs, such as the Up-Armored HMMWV, have
played a crucial role in limiting risks to personnel and to limiting casualties
during such high risk military operations. Also, in these conflicts, the United
Nations traditionally has desired not to be perceived as an aggressor force and,
accordingly, has asked participating armed forces not to utilize heavy armored
vehicles. This has required highly protected "non-aggressive" vehicles for
peacekeeping operations worldwide. As a result of these developments, the market
for armoring systems for TWVs is increasing worldwide.
 
     Growth in the use of armored TWVs has also been driven by worldwide cuts in
military budgets. For example, the U.S. Military is focusing its efforts on
reducing the use of expensive, fully armored tracked vehicles, such as the M1A1
tank and the Bradley armored personnel carrier, in favor of less expensive
(lower initial and operational cost), light armored wheeled vehicles. The
Tactical Vehicle Modernization Plan prepared last year by the U.S. Army's
Program Executive Officer for Tactical Wheeled Vehicles for the Army Acquisition
Executive presented several scenarios for procurement of TWVs. The report
concluded that to maintain modernization of the fleet will require an investment
of $650 million annually. Up-Armored HMMWVs and kits for HMMWVs and other TWVs
are an integral part of this strategy. The continuing commitment to armor TWVs
is represented in the formal requirements document currently at DoD for
approval. This document establishes the performance requirements and guidelines
for application for the armor kits for TWVs.
 
     Because of growing cooperation and standardization between U.S. and other
international armed forces, the Company expects international demand for
armoring systems for U.S. models of TWVs to rise and for foreign armed forces to
constitute a growing sector of the military market. There are currently over
130,000 HMMWVs operating with armies around the world and, therefore, a
significant natural market for both new up-armored TWVs and retrofit armored
kits is in place. Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Taiwan
and Thailand all currently rely upon the HMMWV as a primary light TWV. These
nations, and others with less reliance on the HMMWV, are facing the same trends
and share many of the same needs as the U.S. Military. As documented by the
number of vehicles and level of interest demonstrated at the
 
                                       27
<PAGE>   30
 
EuroSatory land defense exhibition in Paris, armored light TWVs are growing in
importance for modern armies charged with peacekeeping and urban operations.
 
     The market for medium and heavy TWVs with armoring systems is currently
less well developed. However, because modern militaries desire to operate heavy
TWVs independent of armored escort, U.S. and foreign militaries are currently
developing programs to acquire armored medium and heavy TWVs. Some contracts
call for retrofitting existing fleets with armor and blast protection packages,
while others require all new vehicle designs and armoring systems.
 
     Other U.S. Military weapons systems, such as the Multiple Launch Rocket
System ("MLRS"), rely on armoring systems to protect vulnerable high technology
equipment. DoD expects the MLRS system to be deployed in the field until the
year 2025. Advanced armoring systems will be required to protect more highly
evolved and expensive systems. The success of the MLRS in Desert Storm has
increased interest in that system from friendly armed forces. Military armoring
systems are also required to protect aircraft and helicopters.
 
COMMERCIAL MARKET OVERVIEW
 
     The private security industry, broadly defined, is comprised of thousands
of companies providing a broad variety of products and services, locally,
regionally, nationally, and in some cases worldwide. These products and services
are offered by private investigators, security guard companies, home alarm
monitoring companies, and armored commercial vehicle manufacturers, among many
other security related businesses (see table below). The Freedonia Group, Inc.,
an independent research organization, estimates that the U.S. private security
market had revenues of approximately $24.8 billion in 1994, and expects this
number to increase to $39.0 billion by the year 2000. Internationally, the
market for security equipment alone is estimated at $25.9 billion and is
expected to grow to $43.9 billion by the year 2000. To date, the Company has
concentrated its efforts in the vehicle armoring area of the private security
industry. No statistical data is available with regard to the size of this area
due to its highly fragmented nature and the lack of any relevant industry trade
groups.

     Over the past 20 years, the proliferation of advanced weaponry, related
technologies and information has empowered the criminal element with the ability
to penetrate, steal, damage or destroy previously protected assets and
individuals. In the United States, for example, bombings have now replaced
murders as the fastest growing category of violent crime. Internationally, crime
rates have risen dramatically as greater affluence and social tensions in
developing nations have ignited violent criminal activity. For example,
according to Penn Associates, a leading security intelligence firm, murders have
doubled in Sao Paulo, Brazil to over 7,500 per year, and in the former Soviet
Union, several newly independent states have experienced crime rates which have
risen over 300% in the last three years. Worldwide, governments, organizations,
businesses and individuals are concerned about rapidly growing threats from (i)
terrorism, (ii) kidnapping, (iii) random acts of violence, (iv) urban
unrest/crime, and (v) crimes against business.
 
     Terrorism.  According to statistics compiled by the U.S. State Department,
individual acts of international terrorism grew 37% from 322 separate violent
incidents in 1994 to 440 in 1995. These acts included armed attacks, arson,
bombings, chemical attacks, firebombings, kidnapping and vandalism. Of these
terrorist attacks, 62% occurred in Europe, 21% in Latin America, and 10% in the
Middle East. Terrorist acts against businesses represented 332 or 75% of these
incidents in 1995, up from 127 or 39% in 1994, underscoring the
 
                                       28
<PAGE>   31
 
need for multinational businesses to protect themselves and their employees from
these calculated assaults. Governments and organizations worldwide have also
increased security focus at public buildings during major sporting and cultural
events and at train stations and airports. Demand is increasing for
sophisticated event security and integrated building/complex security systems
comprised of people, technology, and hardware products to combat the threat of
terrorism.
 
     Kidnapping.  Kidnappings for ransom have been on the rise over the past few
years and, increasingly, the targets are local and foreign business executives.
According to Kroll Associates, Inc., an independent security research firm,
Latin America continues to report the highest number of these abductions per
year with approximately 6,500 incidents reported in 1995, including 3,600
incidents in Colombia and 1,450 in Mexico, while the Middle East/Africa, Asia
Pacific, Europe, and North America/Puerto Rico reported 375, 235, 160, and 50
kidnapping incidents, respectively in 1995. In many countries, traditional
patterns of weak, inefficient and corrupt law enforcement and a significant
disparity in wealth distribution have motivated a surge in abductions as well as
underscoring the need for private security.
 
     Random acts of violence, urban unrest and crime.  Individuals are
increasingly seeking cost effective ways to insulate themselves from violent
threats while inside and away from their homes. These threats have been
heightened by the proliferation of firearms (for example, 30 U.S. states now
permit the carrying of concealed weapons) that has increased the presence of and
access to weaponry in public places. In addition, bombings in the U.S. have
increased dramatically. For example, non-incendiary bombings in the U.S. grew
55% from 1,573 in 1990 to 2,438 in 1994, according to the U.S. Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Also, urban crime and gang activities have
increased the number of drive-by shootings, carjackings, bombings and
drug-related violence. Worldwide, political, economic, and social changes
resulting in the disenfranchisement of lower socio-economic groups and
organizations have led organized crime groups and criminal enterprises to expand
their numbers and ranges of activities.
 
     Crimes against business.  An increasing spectrum of risks for corporations
has emerged such as breaking and entering, theft, unauthorized computer access,
computer fraud, illegal wiretaps, telecommunications monitoring, hostage-taking,
money laundering, industrial espionage, vandalism and terrorism. These risks
have created new challenges for corporate security managers worldwide. As
multinational corporations establish offices and manufacturing facilities in
foreign and developing countries, this diversity of threats not previously
experienced requires corporate security managers to evaluate comprehensive
security programs for both their physical plants and corporate executives.
 
     To respond to these threats, the number of security related firms has grown
and the range of advanced and highly engineered security products and support
services offered has increased as well. The technological sophistication of
security equipment has improved by utilizing advanced materials,
state-of-the-art technologies, engineering design techniques and better
production methods. Security companies have been able to develop stronger,
smaller and lighter protective products that can be sold separately or
integrated into commercial products commonly available today (such as
bulletproof vests, protective glass and home and auto security systems). In
addition, the prices for many hardware products have declined making certain
products more accessible to the broader commercial and public sectors. On the
service side, in addition to the major guard and other special security service
companies, a growing network of security professionals formerly affiliated with
government security forces have formed their own private companies advising
heads of state, corporations, organizations, and individuals on integrated
security hardware and service offerings. Overall, these products and services
will continue to be demanded by governments, organizations, corporations and
individuals seeking to protect their assets from the growing threats posed
worldwide.

                                    BUSINESS
 
     The Company is a leading provider of fully integrated ballistic and blast
protected vehicle armoring systems for military, commercial and governmental
clients worldwide. Through OHE, the Company currently is the primary provider of
armoring systems for HMMWVs used by the U.S. Military and other armed forces
worldwide. OHE also provides armored commercial vehicles for heads of state,
business executives and VIPs worldwide, including presidential limousines used
by every U.S. President since 1948. Through OSN, the Company provides vital
communications systems for its clients by integrating proprietary hardware and
smart card billing software that operate on the Inmarsat network. In addition,
the Company offers customized turn-key site security systems to international
customers.
 
     Originally founded in 1876 as Sayers & Scovil, a manufacturer of
horse-drawn carriages, the Company evolved into a producer of specialized motor
vehicles. By the early 1900s, the Company changed its ownership and name to Hess
& Eisenhardt and focused on the development and construction of a broad range of
specialized consumer and commercial vehicles such as ambulances and hearses. In
the 1940s, the Company was commissioned by the U.S. Secret Service to design and
assemble the first armored presidential limousine, which was used by President
Harry S. Truman. In 1982, this business was acquired by certain members of the
O'Gara family, was subsequently renamed, and has focused on producing armored
vehicles for commercial and governmental clients around the world. In 1993, the
Company was awarded its first contract to up-armor the HMMWV for the U.S.
Military.
 
     The Company's business today is increasingly being driven by the needs of
(i) worldwide military organizations to field a more versatile armored vehicle,
such as the HMMWV; (ii) governments to protect heads of state and diplomats from
terrorist attacks; (iii) multinational corporations to protect executives,
corporate assets and information in high risk countries; (iv) wealthy
individuals to secure themselves and their families from the growing threat of
kidnappings worldwide; (v) individuals to insulate themselves and their property
from planned criminal activity and random acts of violence; and (vi)
individuals, corporations and governments to obtain secure, remote or
independent telecommunications services.
 
     To capitalize on these trends, the Company has realigned its activities
along three business lines: security hardware products, security systems
integration and security services. The Security Hardware Products Group
currently markets all of the Company's armoring products, including fully
integrated ballistic and blast protected armored military and commercial
vehicles, aircraft and missile container armor, and field installed armoring
systems. The Security Systems Integration Group offers planning, design, and
hardware and software integration services which are customized to meet specific
satellite communications or site protection needs of customers. The Security
Services Group intends to offer security-related services such as security
background clearances, business intelligence, country risk assessments,
airport/aircraft security support, and private security agent and driver
training. The Company believes that its strong name recognition, reputation and
experience, combined with its design, engineering and production expertise, as
well as its network of affiliations in the security industry will enable it to
market successfully a broader array of security products and services worldwide.
 
SECURITY METHODOLOGY
 
     In essence, security involves the protection of an asset. That asset may be
human or material, tangible or intangible. The Company's strategy for business
growth is based upon a methodology for asset protection,
 
                                       30
<PAGE>   33
 
known as the "Concentric Circles of Protection." This methodology integrates
intelligence, access control and protective hardware, as shown in the following
diagram:
 
                        CONCENTRIC CIRCLES OF PROTECTION
 
                                  [GRAPHIC]
 
     Intelligence seeks to obtain prior warning of a possible attack to the
protected asset. Access Control seeks to limit the ability of an attacker to
strike. Protective Hardware seeks to defeat an attack once made. Communications
coordinates each of these elements. Thus, the Company's business groups are
organized to address each circle of protection, by providing the requisite
product and services necessary to meet the needs of the Concentric Circles of
Protection methodology.
 
BUSINESS STRATEGY
 
     The principal elements of the Company's operating and growth strategy are
as follows:
 
     Expand armored commercial vehicle sales in foreign markets. The Company
intends to expand its foreign market position as a leading provider of armored
commercial vehicles by leveraging its well recognized name, high quality
reputation and global network of customer relationships. To support this effort,
the Company has established manufacturing operations in Mexico, Brazil and
Russia, has increased its sales and marketing personnel from four at October
1985 to 17 at present and has increased its annual marketing budget from $0.7
million in 1995 to $1.8 million in 1996. The Company believes that these
efforts, coupled with the strong demand in these countries for armored
commercial vehicles, will enable it to penetrate effectively these markets. In
the future, the Company intends to establish manufacturing operations in
additional countries as it deems appropriate.
 
     Expand foreign military sales. As the nature of armed conflicts changes and
worldwide military budgets are cut, the Company believes that expensive heavily
armored tracked vehicles will continue to be replaced by more versatile and less
expensive tactical wheeled vehicles ("TWVs"), such as the HMMWV. The Company
markets both factory assembled, fully armored ("Up-Armored") HMMWVs and armor
kits which may be added in the field to certain existing HMMWVs. There currently
exists an installed base of 130,000 HMMWVs, including 18,400 owned by 31 foreign
countries. The Company estimates that approximately 12,000 of the HMMWVs in use
worldwide are suitable for its armor kits and believes a significant opportunity
exists to market aggressively these kits, internationally as well as
domestically. The Company also believes that those countries currently utilizing
HMMWVs are candidates for future sales of the Up-Armored HMMWV. For example, the
Company recently entered into contracts to provide Up-Armored HMMWVs to two
foreign countries, Luxembourg and Qatar.
 
     Grow non-armoring security-related businesses. The Company's Security
Systems Integration Group intends to build upon its rapidly growing satellite
communications business and the physical site protection services it currently
offers in Russia by offering a broader array of products and services to
existing hardware customers and to buyers in new geographic markets. In
addition, the Company's Security Services Group intends to offer, either
directly or through subcontractors, additional security-related services such as
security
 
                                       31
<PAGE>   34
 
background clearances, business intelligence, country risk assessments,
airport/aircraft security support, and private security agent and driver
training. The Company is adding Mr. William S. Sessions, the former Director of
the Federal Bureau of Investigation, as a director, and Mr. Hugh E. Price, the
former Deputy Director for Operations of the Central Intelligence Agency, as
President, Security Services Group and as a director. The Company believes the
addition of these individuals to its management team, along with their
reputation, experience and network of relationships, will enhance the Company's
ability to market these services worldwide.
 
     Standardize production to improve efficiencies and reduce throughput
time.  Since 1994 the Company has committed approximately $3.1 million to
engineering, tooling, and training to standardize its product design, armoring
components, and assembly line operations. Through the application of these
techniques, the number of employee work hours needed to produce the Up-Armored
HMMWV has been reduced from 465 to 265, and the number of components involved
from 800 to 550. These techniques are now being applied by the Company to the
production of certain commercial products, the first being the Standard
Suburban. Employee work hours required to armor the Standard Suburban have been
reduced from 1,200 to 650, and the number of components involved from 350 to
200. The Company is currently working to standardize its process of armoring a
passenger sedan. As a result of these efficiencies, the Company believes it will
be better able to provide immediate delivery of its armored commercial vehicles,
which will increase substantially their attractiveness and marketability in the
U.S. as well as abroad.
 
     Pursue strategic acquisition opportunities.  The fragmented nature of the
global security industry provides ample opportunities for strategic
acquisitions. The Company believes it is positioned to consolidate companies in
the armoring, systems integration, security services, engineering and secured
satellite communications sectors of the industry. On August 15, 1996, the
Company entered into an agreement in principle to acquire Palmer Associates,
S.C., a provider of security services, such as driver training, background
investigation and due diligence reports, in Mexico City, Mexico, for cash
consideration of approximately $1.0 million, payable over two years. The Company
continues to review additional acquisition opportunities in each of these
sectors.
 
RELATED GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES
 
     Longer term, the Company believes that substantial opportunities for
additional growth exist in the following areas:
 
     Automotive consumer safety market.  The Company has the rights of
representation in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Brazil for International
Electronics Engineering ("IEE"), a Luxembourg company which produces Passenger
Presence Detection sensors for the automotive industry. These sensors prevent
automotive airbags from inflating when an infant is in the front seat. The U.S.
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has proposed new rules requiring
automakers to install airbag on/off switches and warning labels on car
dashboards until a "smart" system is installed which can disengage automatically
the airbag mechanism. The Company believes that IEE has the only such sensor
system which is currently in commercial production. The Company plans to enter
the U.S. automotive consumer safety market with this product in the near future
and subsequently pursue other markets for that and related products. The Company
also intends to evaluate the cost effectiveness of potential market
opportunities for introducing other consumer-oriented automotive safety
products.
 
     U.S. protected private passenger vehicle market.  To date, the Company has
not targeted the private protected passenger vehicle market in the United
States. The Company believes that the level of violence, particularly random
bombings, drive-by shootings and carjackings, within the United States will lead
to greater demand for commercially available protected automobiles. The Company
feels that it is well suited to capitalize on this demand by offering a locally
installed protection package or kit, which may consist of anti-intrusion glass
or transparent armor, run flat tires, inside/outside intercoms or special door
lock devices. To penetrate this market, the Company will need to develop an
extensive sales, marketing, distribution and dealer installation network which
will permit it to generate volumes sufficient to allow the offering of its
products at prices attractive to potential customers.

  Military Products
 
     Up-Armored HMMWVs.  The Company is the prime contractor to the U.S.
Military for the supply of Up-Armored HMMWVs. The basic four door HMMWV chassis
are produced by AM General and shipped directly to the Company's facility where
perimeter armor and blast protection components are added. These Up-Armored
HMMWVs provide perimeter protection against 7.62 mm armor-piercing ammunition
(such as that fired by the AK-47 military assault rifle), overhead airburst
protection against a 155 mm shell, front underbody blast protection against a 12
lb. anti-tank mine, and rear underbody blast protection against a 4 lb.
anti-personnel mine. In addition, the Company installs other features designed
to enhance crew safety,
 
                                       33
<PAGE>   36
 
comfort and performance, such as air conditioning, weapon turrets and mounts,
door locks and shock-absorbing seats. The customers for this product are the
U.S. Military as well as defense and peacekeeping forces around the world. The
Company charges its customers $85,000 to $100,000 for these ballistic and blast
protective systems, which is in addition to the cost of the vehicle. In addition
to the products described above, the Company supplies engineering design and
prototype services to the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Command primarily in support
of the Up-Armored HMMWV Program. The Company also supplies spare parts and
logistics support for all of its military programs.
 
     HMMWV armor kits.  The Company supplies field-installable armoring kits to
the U.S. Military. These kits are installable on HMMWVs which are currently in
the U.S. Military inventory as well as new HMMWV chassis that are delivered to
the Company's manufacturing facilities. Two kits are available. The two door
armor kit provides perimeter protection against 7.62 mm ball ammunition and
underbody blast protection against a 12 lb. anti-tank mine. The four door armor
kit provides the same perimeter and front underbody protection but adds rear
underbody blast protection against a 4 lb. antipersonnel mine. Potential
customers for this product are current owners of non-armored HMMWVs, which
include the U.S. Military as well as defense and peacekeeping forces around the
world. At present, over 130,000 HMMWVs have been sold worldwide, and the Company
estimates that approximately 12,000 of these HMMWVs may be suitable for kit
installation. These kits sell for $18,000 to $30,000, without installation.
 
     Other armor systems.  The Company markets armor sub-systems for certain
U.S. Military tracked vehicles, such as the M9ACE earth mover, and other TWVs
such as 2.5 ton and 5.0 ton trucks, for which the defined threat is from small
arms rounds, typically defined as 12.7 mm and less. The Company also produces
various armor systems as a subcontractor to larger defense contractors, such as
Lockheed Martin Corporation ("Lockheed Martin") and The Boeing Company. These
products include armor for containers for fuels and missile launchers, and for
pilot protection, and typically involve the use of materials or methods which
are unique to the Company.
 
  Commercial Products
 
     Fully armored vehicles (FAVs).  The base vehicle that is converted into a
FAV may be a limousine, a large size sedan (such as a Cadillac or Mercedes Benz
S600), or a sport utility vehicle (such as the Standard Suburban) which is
purchased new from a dealership or directly from the factory. The armoring
process begins with disassembly of the new vehicle at the Company's production
facilities. This typically involves the removal of the interior trim, the seats,
the doors and all windows. The passenger compartment is then armored with both
opaque armor (metallic, fibrous and ceramic materials) and transparent armor
(glass/plastic laminate) and other features, such as run flat tires, are added.
Finally, the vehicle is reassembled as close to its original appearance as
possible. The designation of FAV normally connotes the ability of the completed
vehicle to protect against attacks from military assault rifles such as AK-47s
and M16s and from certain underbody explosives. Certain FAVs also are blast
protected. A blast-protected vehicle normally incorporates the ballistic and
underbody protection of an FAV but with proprietary materials and installation
methods that enable the vehicle occupants to survive a defined blast threat.
Typical types of protection defend against pipe bombs attached to the exterior
of the vehicle and non-directional charges of 20 kg of TNT detonated
approximately five meters from the vehicle. FAV armoring normally sells for
$50,000 to $200,000 in addition to the cost of the vehicle.
 
     The FAV class of vehicle includes the Parade Car, a formal limousine used
predominately for high level, official functions by a president or other head of
state. This vehicle is usually of customized design based upon a commercially
available chassis which the Company essentially rebuilds from the ground up.
Since the threat of organized assassination attempts is greater for heads of
state, these vehicles normally incorporate more advanced armor and sophisticated
protection systems. In addition to the more protective opaque and transparent
armor systems, special features may include supplemental oxygen systems, air
purification systems to protect against chemical or biological contamination,
underbody fire suppressant systems, tear gas launchers, anti-explosive
self-sealing fuel tanks, electric deadbolt door locks, gun ports and
remote-starters with bomb scanning capability. Parade Cars normally sell for
$300,000 to in excess of $1.0 million, which includes the cost of the base
vehicle.
 
                                       34
<PAGE>   37
 
     Light armored vehicles (LAVs).  The armoring process for an LAV is similar
in all respects to that for an FAV except that the base vehicle is typically a
sedan or sport utility vehicle and substantially less total weight of armoring
is added. Typical base vehicles include the Volkswagon Jetta, the General Motors
Omega, the Mercedes Benz S600 and the Jeep Cherokee. The designation of LAV
connotes the ability of the completed vehicle to protect against attacks from
handguns, such as a 9 mm or .357 Magnum. The price of LAV armoring ranges from
$5,000 to $60,000 in addition to the cost of the vehicle.
 
     Other.  Other commercial products include specialty vehicles which are
custom built for a specific mission. Vehicle types that fall into this category
are Escort Cars (usually a convertible) and Chase Cars (usually a closed-top
vehicle) in which security personnel ride while in a head of state motorcade.
Also included in this business line are armor kits, normally designed for a
specific vehicle to be installed at a location outside of the Company's main
production facilities in Fairfield, Ohio or Torino, Italy. These armor kits
usually provide LAV levels of protection. The Company also provides technical
support, training and spare parts for all of its manufactured products. The
Company can service a customer's vehicle in any of the Company's facilities. In
certain instances, the Company will fly its technicians to the customer's
location.
 
Security Systems Integration Group
 
     Satellite communication integration.  The Company offers comprehensive
design and hardware and software integration services customized to meet
specific satellite communication requirements of its customers. This involves
the integration of portable satellite terminals, mobile antennas and
software-based air time. Usually these systems are designed for remote or
security intensive operations.
 
     The portable satellite terminals, which are manufactured by third party
suppliers to Company specifications, allow the user to make voice and data
transmissions via satellite link anywhere in the world. Most terminal sales
consist of the Company's latest product manufactured by Glocom, which are
marketed for the Company by Magellan Systems Corporation under the microCOM-M
name and marketed by the Company directly under the Compact-M brand name. This
new terminal is the smallest product model currently available commercially and
is approximately the size of a lap top computer, weighing approximately five
pounds. The terminal operates on the Inmarsat-M network. The Company offers an
Inmarsat approved mobile "M" antenna system called the Voyager (developed
through a strategic alliance with Nera AS, a Norwegian company, and marketed by
the Company and Nera AS under a cooperative marketing agreement) that allows
vehicle occupants to make voice and data transmissions via satellite link while
the vehicle is in motion. The Company has developed a similar product that will
operate on the Inmarsat-B network and also will provide high speed data and
video capacity. The Company currently offers air time primarily through joint
ventures and block time agreements utilizing an internally developed and
proprietary "smart card" billing application. The "smart card" is a convenient
prepaid telephone calling card which a customer purchases from the Company and
which can be used only on the Company's systems. Most air time sales are made in
conjunction with the microCOM-M and Compact-M terminals.
 
     Site protection systems integration.  The Company is now offering
comprehensive planning, design and hardware and software integration services
customized to meet the requirements of customers for physical site protection.
Primarily intended for perimeter security around business facilities and plant
operations, the Company also offers its services to embassies, VIPs' homes and
public facilities. Generally, such a systems integration project begins with a
site survey, which identifies areas of vulnerability and recommends methods for
securing the entire area surveyed. Specific pieces of hardware are ordered and
installed, processes and procedures are outlined, engineering documentation are
provided and control centers are established. Although each job is unique, the
methodology used to develop the system is similar in most cases.
 
     Standardized subsystem products.  Currently, the Company does not offer
standardized subsystems. The Company intends to offer such "off the shelf"
products in the future in order to capitalize on time-sensitive requests from
customers. Examples of standardized subsystems are closed circuit television
monitoring systems, access control systems and pre-packaged intrusion and fire
detection systems. The Company may
 
                                       35
<PAGE>   38
 
develop these subsystems itself or through joint ventures, or may purchase or
otherwise acquire the rights to market such subsystems directly to the Company's
customers.
 
Security Services Group
 
     The Company intends to leverage its reputation in the armored vehicle
industry and its customer base to market an expanded range of security services
such as security background clearances, business intelligence, country risk
assessments, airport/aircraft security support, and private security agent and
driver training. The Company plans to offer such services first in countries in
which it is currently selling hardware products or providing security systems
integration and then expand into other geographic areas in which there is a
demonstrated need for such services, such as the Philippines and the Middle
East. At present, the Company is not generating meaningful revenues from the
services to be provided by the Security Services Group. However, on August 15,
1996, the Company entered into an agreement in principle to acquire Palmer
Associates, S.C., a provider of security services, such as driver training,
background investigation and due diligence reports, in Mexico City, Mexico, for
cash consideration of approximately $1.0 million, payable over two years.
 
CUSTOMERS
 
Security Hardware Products Group
 
     Military.  The Company's market for military hardware products is worldwide
in scope, including the U.S. Military and foreign defense forces. The Company's
major contracts for delivery of Up-Armored HMMWVs and armoring kits are with the
U.S. Army Tank Automotive Command ("TACOM"). Additionally, the Company provides
protected container systems, typically used to protect missile systems from
small arms fire, to the U.S. Missile Command ("MICOM") under a subcontract with
Lockheed Martin. The ability to obtain future U.S. military business will be
affected by future levels of defense spending and TACOM's budget. The Company
has sold Up-Armored HMMWVs to Qatar and Luxembourg, either directly or through
the Foreign Military Sales ("FMS") Program. In the future, the Company plans to
leverage the reputation earned by its Up-Armored HMMWVs in Bosnia, Somalia and
Haiti to expand its sales to foreign defense forces. See "-- U.S. Government
Contracts."
 
     Commercial.  The Company's armored commercial vehicle customers include
governmental and private buyers. U.S. and foreign governmental buyers purchase
both FAVs and LAVs. Governmental buyers also comprise the market for Parade
Cars. Typically, governmental buyers consist of ministries of foreign affairs,
defense and internal affairs and offices of presidential security. Such
customers are not constrained in their purchasing decisions by considerations
such as import duties and taxes. They are, therefore, free to search globally
for the best product. The procurement cycles of governmental buyers can range
from relatively rapid, when the vehicles are for the use of the head of state or
in a crisis mode, to prolonged bureaucratic bids and evaluations where the
procurement is for normally budgeted items. Over the past five years, the
Company has sold 31 Parade Cars to various governments and has sold FAVs and
LAVs to the governments or agencies of 33 foreign countries, and to 14
departments or agencies of the U.S. Government (including the Department of
State, the Drug Enforcement Agency, the Agency for International Development and
the General Services Administration).
 
     The Company's private customers for armored commercial vehicles include
corporations and individuals. Private buyers are much more sensitive to cost (of
which import duties and taxes may be a substantial part) and, therefore, often
will buy a locally produced product if one exists. Local servicing of the
vehicle is also a critical concern to private buyers. Over the past five years,
the Company has sold FAVs or LAVs to more than 125 private customers, including
20 Fortune 500 companies.
 
Security Systems Integration Group
 
     Satellite communication integration.  Principal customers for satellite
communications services include private corporations and individuals,
governmental agencies, peacekeeping forces and disaster relief organizations
which operate in under-developed countries that lack a telecommunications
infrastructure, in rural areas
 
                                       36
<PAGE>   39
 
of developed countries or in disaster scenarios in which the traditional forms
of telecommunications are rendered inoperable. To date most of the Company's
systems integration services customers have not been purchasers of the Company's
security hardware products. However, the Company is actively marketing these
services to security hardware purchasers and site protection services customers.
Increasingly, customers are demanding that the satellite communication channels
provided be secure. Depending on the level of security desired, satellite
communication systems can be implemented using a variety of encryption methods
up to and including fully secure U.S. Government STU-III telephones. Most of the
Company's satellite communication customers are located outside of the United
States because the U.S. Federal Communications Commission does not permit
private corporations or individuals to use in the United States terminals which
do not utilize the American Mobile Satellite Corp. ("AMSC") satellite network.
The terminals marketed by the Company access the Inmarsat network rather than
the AMSC network.
 
     Site protection systems integration.  As of June 30, 1996, the Company had
secured three commercial contracts to provide integrated site protection
systems, all to customers in Russia. Currently the Company is marketing these
services to both governmental and commercial entities primarily in Russia.
Corporate and governmental buyers of integrated security systems normally
purchase through their corporate security officer, a governmental department
responsible for the particular facility's security, a facility manager or a
construction project manager. Purchases generally are made on project-specific
proposals and include the cost of the hardware, transportation costs to the
site, engineering integration and documentation.
 
Security Services Group
 
     Although the Company currently has no contracts for its security services,
it plans to begin marketing these services to both businesses and governments in
the near future. Corporate or governmental buyers of security services usually
contract for such services through their security officers. Corporate security
officers, who are normally former members of a government agency themselves,
tend to purchase services based upon industry reputation for quality and
expertise, trust in the firm or individual they are buying the services from,
price and availability. Security services are charged out by the hour, day, week
or based upon a retainer schedule. In some cases, a project may be bid in its
entirety.
 
MARKETING AND SALES
 
     Military marketing.  The Company continues to position itself in the
marketplace as a commercial company with a military production capability and to
emphasize its ability to develop new products, or product adaptations, quickly
and more cost-effectively than traditional defense contractors. In marketing its
products to the military, the Company also places strong emphasis on its
superior anti-tank and anti-personnel mine protection for the occupants of TWVs.
The Company markets its military products through a combination of trade show
exhibitions, print advertising in military-related periodicals and direct
customer visits. The Company emphasizes the cross-marketing of military and
commercial products, which it believes strengthens the image of each product
group. The Company also has entered into a joint marketing agreement with AM
General, the manufacturer of the basic HMMWV, for sales in the military and
commercial arenas. This agreement allows the Company to benefit from the AM
General distribution network and save on certain costs, such as exhibitions
where AM General and the Company otherwise would both show products.
 
     Military sales.  The Company's military sales activities are directed
toward identifying contract bid opportunities with various U.S. Government
agencies, private enterprises acting as prime contractors on government
contracts, sales through the FMS Program, and military sales directly to foreign
military organizations. The Company has one full-time business development
manager who is responsible for this activity and also has contractual
arrangements with several outside consultants who assist the business
development manager in his activities. The Company is in the process of adding
another full-time business development manager. Proposal preparation and
presentation for government projects is done by a proposal team which normally
consists of program managers who have specific project responsibilities, a
contracting officer, a cost accountant and various manufacturing and engineering
personnel.
 
                                       37
<PAGE>   40
 
     Commercial marketing.  The Company believes that, as a result of its long
history of successfully armoring vehicles, it enjoys excellent name recognition
and a strong reputation in its sector of the security industry. The central
element of the Company's commercial marketing strategy is to leverage its name
recognition and reputation by positioning the Company as a global provider of
one-stop security services and products. The Company believes that by
positioning itself in this manner it can capitalize on its existing customer
base, maximize the benefits of its long history of supplying security-related
products around the world, and leverage its leadership niche in the armored
commercial vehicle market. When entering a foreign market, the Company normally
seeks to penetrate the market with its strongest product offering, which in most
cases is armored vehicles. The Company tailors its marketing strategy to each
geographic area of the world and will often tailor its product offering by
country. There is strong cross-marketing of military and commercial products
which the Company believes strengthens the image of each product group. This is
accomplished through consistency of product literature, image and style; the
featuring of both product groups in advertising and exhibitions; and full
briefings to customers and potential customers that encompass the Company's
entire product line.
 
     Commercial sales.  On a worldwide basis, the Company employs 17 direct
salespersons who operate out of Fairfield, Ohio; Washington, D.C.; Deer Park,
New York; Los Angeles, California; Moscow, Russia; Mexico City, Mexico; Sao
Paulo, Brazil; and Geneva, Switzerland. All sales personnel have a geographic
and/or product-specific responsibility. In most cases, sales personnel also
maintain and recruit sales agents or distributors for the Company's principal
product groups. The agents or distributors have a geographic and
product-specific agreement, and compensation in most cases is based upon a
commission arrangement. In some instances, particularly when commercial products
are sold to governments, the Company's salespersons will handle sales directly
with the ultimate customer without any involvement from an agent or distributor.
Sales personnel use a consultative approach when offering solutions to the
customer's security problems. Sales cycles for commercial products can range
from several months to a matter of days, depending upon the product and the
urgency associated with the security problem being addressed. Security products
which are readily available, such as the full armored Standard Suburban, allow
the Company to assist customers who have developed, or feel they have developed,
an immediate threat.
 
ENGINEERING AND DEVELOPMENT
 
     The Company emphasizes engineering excellence and has an extensive
engineering staff. Design engineers use state-of-the-art two-dimensional and
three-dimensional computer aided design and engineering (CAD/CAE) systems in
conjunction with coordinate measuring machines to develop electronic models
which are generally converted to solid models or prototypes. Manufacturing
engineers concentrate on the ability of the Company to manufacture a product
design, on improvements in the production process and overall cost reductions
from better methods, fewer components and less expensive materials with equal or
superior quality and on materials handling issues. Applying these techniques, in
the last several years the Company has been able to produce savings in the time
and cost necessary to produce its armored vehicles. For example, the Company was
able to reduce the number of employee work hours needed to produce the Up-
Armored HMMWV from 465 to 265 and the number of components involved from 800 to
550. Employee work hours required to armor the Standard Suburban have been
reduced from 1,200 to 650, and the number of components involved from 350 to
200.
 
     Quality engineering is responsible for assuring that manufacturing and
design plans are consistent with a reliable, quality product that meets the
specifications of the customer. Quality engineers are also responsible for
identifying in-process quality inspection points in the work orders. The
Company's ballistic engineers, in conjunction with its design and manufacturing
engineers, develop new ballistic and blast protection systems that meet
ever-changing threats. Ballistic engineers are also responsible for the
ballistic testing required by customers, the assignment of ballistic
specifications to final products and the issuance of ballistic specifications
for internal quality control. Advanced engineering is responsible for new
product development in conjunction with design engineering, manufacturing
engineering and ballistic engineering. The Company's electrical engineers,
resident in the Deer Park, New York facility, are responsible for design
specifications for all satellite and secure communications products.

U.S. GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS
 
     The Company serves as the U.S. Military's primary provider of armoring for
its HMMWV fleet. Under the initial contract in August 1993, TACOM engaged the
Company to armor fully 59 HMMWVs. A contract to armor an additional 100 vehicles
was executed in May 1994. See "-- Customers." As of March 1995 all of these 159
HMMWVs had been shipped.
 
     In 1995, the HMMWV was redesigned to include a more powerful engine and
greater cargo space. In March 1995, TACOM engaged the Company to armor 309 of
the redesigned HMMWVs. This agreement included options for the armoring of up to
an additional 155 vehicles. In February 1996, TACOM requested an acceleration of
the production of Up-Armored HMMWVs previously ordered and subsequently
exercised options for the armoring by the Company of an additional 126 of the
155 vehicles under option. Of these vehicles, 16 will be sold to Luxembourg
under the FMS program. The FMS Program is part of the U.S. Government's security
assistance program which provides equipment and services to more than 100
nations and international organizations. The U.S. Government markets, procures
and delivers military equipment and services to such foreign entities. Funding
is provided either directly by the purchaser or with U.S.-granted foreign aid
credits or loans. As of August 31, 1996, the Company will have shipped 390 of
these 435 HMMWVs.
 
     Under a July 1996 contract, TACOM engaged the Company to armor 72
additional HMMWVs. The contract includes options for the armoring of up to 218
additional vehicles. None of these vehicles has yet been shipped.
 
     Since July 1996, a contract with TACOM for an additional 124 Up-Armored
HMMWVs has been pending, subject to the receipt of certain governmental
approvals. No assurance can be given that this contract will be received.
 
     The Company also manufactures armoring kits that can be shipped to
customers and installed in HMMWVs on location. The Company installed 166 of such
kits for TACOM in its Fairfield facility during the first seven months of 1996
and has shipped 14 kits to the U.S. Army in Germany for purposes of providing
instruction to Army personnel concerning the installation process.
 
     The U.S. Government budget for fiscal year 1997, which has been submitted
to Congress for approval, includes funding for the purchase of 360 additional
Up-Armored HMMWVs. Although there can be no assurance of Congressional approval,
or that the Company will be engaged to armor such vehicles, the Company believes
that it is well positioned to benefit from any additional appropriations made by
Congress for Up-Armored HMMWVs.
 
     The Company has provided to MICOM, as a subcontractor to Lockheed Martin,
armoring for certain missile weapons systems. The Company was first engaged in
September 1993 by Lockheed Martin to armor fuel systems of missiles. The Company
was last engaged by Lockheed Martin in June 1996 and believes that it is well
positioned for future engagements.
 
COMPETITION
 
     The markets for the Company's present and contemplated products and
services are highly competitive. However, in the vehicle armoring systems
business, the Company believes that its design, engineering and production
expertise in providing fully integrated ballistic and blast protected vehicles
gives it a competitive advantage over those competitors who provide protection
against only selected ballistic threats. In the market for military armoring
systems there are a large number of companies, such as Simula, Inc., that
provide specific armoring packages for TWVs (other than the HMMWV), helicopters
and selected other military applications. The Company believes that as the size
of the Up-Armored HMMWV requirement continues to grow, competition from major
defense contractors may increase. The principal competitive factors are price,
quality of engineering and design, production capability and capacity, ability
to meet delivery schedules and reputation in the industry.
 
                                       39
<PAGE>   42
 
     The largest competitor on a worldwide basis in the production of armored
commercial vehicles is Mercedes-Benz Aktiengesellschaft ("MBZ") of Germany. MBZ
produces its own armored passenger vehicles based upon the S600 chassis, the new
Pullman Limousine and the S300 chassis. MBZ sells its product through its
worldwide dealer distribution system. In addition to MBZ, there are a number of
other vehicle armorers focused on their local foreign markets in Europe, the
Middle East and Latin America, armoring primarily locally manufactured
automobiles. U.S. based protected passenger automobile armorers include the
Pittston Company (owner of Brinks armored vehicles), Moloney Coachbuilders,
Inc., Safe Car, Inc., Rausch Enterprises, Inc. and Armet Armored Vehicles, Inc.
These and other companies compete for U.S. Department of State and Treasury
Department Secret Service contracts. Currently, the U.S. Department of State FAV
and LAV contracts are split among three companies, of which the Company is one.
The principal competitive factors are price, quality of engineering and design,
production capability and capacity, ability to delivery and reputation in the
industry.
 
     With respect to satellite communication systems integration services, the
Company competes with many companies, including STN Atlas Elektronik GmbH,
Thrane & Thrane AS and Nera AS in both the portable terminal market and sales of
air time. The Company believes that the competitive factors in this portion of
its business include product reliability, the incorporation of advanced
technological features, price, ease of installation, availability and service.
With respect to secure custom communications systems integration services, the
Company competes with small and large communications systems integrators.
 
     In the site protection systems integration and security services
businesses, the Company competes primarily with numerous local integrators and
also large suppliers of security-related equipment such as Westinghouse Electric
Corporation, The Wackenhut Corporation, Borg-Warner Security Corporation,
Pittway Corporation and ADT Inc. The principal competitive factors are the best
approach to solving the security problem, availability and the company or
individual reputation. Finally, the Company expects that its Security Services
Group will compete with major companies such as Pinkerton's, Inc., Kroll
Associates, Inc., ICTS International, N.V. and The Wackenhut Corporation and
numerous small consultant-type businesses. The principal competitive factors are
industry reputation for quality, expertise, trust in the individual firm, price
and availability.

This facility is currently leased for a term expiring in March 1997. The Company
has the right to renew the lease on terms to be agreed upon by the parties. For
accounting purposes, this lease has been treated as an operating lease, and the
Company has the option to purchase the property at any time during the term of
the lease at fair market value as defined in the lease. See "Certain
Relationships and Related Party Transactions -- 4175 Mulhauser Road," In its
Fairfield facilities, the Company has a complete fabrication and machine shop
equipped with a computer controlled plasma cutter, a computer controlled press
break, mills, automated grinders, a robotic welder and two coordinate measuring
machines, paint booths and ancillary equipment for both military and commercial
painting. The manufacture of the Company's products follows these basic stages:
receipt of raw materials and usually a base vehicle which was originally
manufactured by someone other than the Company, the fabrication of
subcomponents, installation of the subcomponents and modification of the
original vehicle as necessary to accept the sub-assemblies, reinstallation of
interior trim, paint and final road test. Products manufactured for government
programs must meet specific and rigorous quality standards for workmanship,
process and process control, raw materials, procedures and testing. A U.S.
Government quality assurance inspector is resident in the Fairfield facility and
monitors the Company's adherence to government-mandated quality standards on a
daily basis.
 
     Deer Park, New York.  This facility is used for administration, engineering

specialty armored and unarmored commercial vehicles, from component fabrication
through final assembly. On occasion, the Torino subcontractor will act as a
vendor to the LeSaint Drive facility.
 
     The Company's manufacturing capabilities include fully integrated
manufacturing programs which link production control, materials control, quality
control and accounting, thus allowing the Company to issue work orders, update
and track inventories, insert quality assurance procedures, schedule and track
production and report, on a daily basis, costs accumulated to a job. The Company
believes that its facilities are adequate for its present needs and that its
properties, including machinery and equipment, are generally in good condition,
well maintained and suitable for their intended current and foreseeable uses.
 
EMPLOYEES
 
     As of July 31, 1996, the Company had 441 employees (including 164 temporary
employees), comprised of 43 in marketing and sales, 317 (including 161 temporary
employees) in manufacturing, 34 (including three temporary employees) in
engineering and 47 in general and administrative. The Company's employees are

U.S. GOVERNMENT REGULATION
 
     As a contractor with agencies of the U.S. Government, the Company is
obligated to comply with a variety of regulations governing certain aspects of
its operations and the workplace. Additionally, the Company's contracts give the
contracting agency the right to conduct audits of the Company's facilities and
operations, and such audits occur routinely. An audit involves a governmental
agency's review of the Company's compliance with the prescribed procedures
established in connection with the government contract. The Company also may be
subject to investigations as a result of an audit or other causes. Adverse
findings in an audit or other investigation, including a violation of
environmental or labor laws, could result in fines or other penalties, up to and
including disqualification as a government contractor. In addition, government
contracts generally contain cost or performance incentives based on stated
targets or other criteria. Failure to meet these stated targets or criteria
could result in penalties or lost profits to the Company.
 
     The Company is subject to federal licensing requirements with respect to
the sale in foreign countries of certain of its hardware products. Regulations
promulgated by the U.S. Commerce Department require the Company to obtain a
general destination license in connection with the sale of certain commercial
products in foreign countries, and certain U.S. State Department regulations
require the Company to file an export license in connection with sales of
military equipment in foreign countries. Furthermore, the U.S. State Department
prohibits all sales of militaryequipment to certain countries, including Cuba,
Iran, Iraq, Libya and China. There can be no assurance that such regulations
will not become more restrictive in the future, which could limit the Company's
ability to market its products internationally.
 
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
 
     The Company and its operations are subject to a number of federal, state
and local environmental laws, regulations and ordinances that govern activities
or operations that may have adverse environmental effects, such as discharges to
air and water, as well as handling, storage and disposal practices regarding
solid and hazardous materials, and impose liability for the cost of remediating,
and certain damages resulting from, sites of past releases of hazardous
materials. Environmental laws continue to change rapidly, and it is likely that
the Company will be subject to increasingly stringent environmental standards in
the future. The Company believes that it currently conducts its activities and
operations in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws. The
Company is implementing recommendations of an environmental consulting company
designed to address certain air pollution, hazardous waste, underground storage
tank and hazard communication matters. No notices of violation have been issued
to the Company by any regulatory agency with respect to environmental matters
which remain uncorrected. The Company believes that its potential liability
under the environmental laws, if any, would not have a material adverse effect,
individually or in the aggregate, on its results of operations or financial
condition. There can be no assurance in this regard, however, nor can there be
any assurance that environmental laws will not become more stringent in the
future or that the Company will not incur significant costs in the future to
comply with such environmental laws.
 
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
     The Company is not involved in any material litigation or legal proceedings
at this time and is not aware of any material litigation or proceeding
threatened against it.
 
PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND COPYRIGHTS
 
     The Company currently has three issued U.S. patents and one pending patent
application relating to its armoring business. The Company currently has no
registered trademarks or copyrights. Although the Company does not believe that
its ability to compete in any of its product markets is dependent on its
patents, the Company does believe that the protection afforded by its recently
issued "Armoring Assembly" patent and its pending "Vehicle Mine Protection
Structure" patent application, both of which relate to vehicle underbody blast
protection, provides the Company with important technological advantages over
its competitors. Although the Company has protected its technologies to the
extent that it believes appropriate, there can be no assurance that the
Company's measures to protect its proprietary rights will deter or prevent
unauthorized use of the Company's technologies. In other countries, the
Company's proprietary rights may not be protected to the same extent as in the
United States.

Compensation Committee composed of Messrs. Mabus and Sessions.
 
              CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
     The Board of Directors of the Company has adopted a policy requiring that
after the Offering any transactions, including loans, between the Company and
its officers, directors, principal shareholders and their affiliates be on terms
no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained from unrelated third
parties and that any such transactions be approved by a majority of the
disinterested members of the Company's Board of Directors.
 
CORPORATE REORGANIZATION
 
     Pursuant to various agreements among the Company, OHE, Limited and the
equityholders of OHE, Limited and OSN, the operations of these corporations will
be reorganized and combined immediately prior to the effective date of the
Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part. See "Corporate
Reorganization."
 
LONGLINE LEASING/EXCEL ARMOR
 
     General. Excel Armor Products, Inc. ("Excel Armor" and, together with
Longline, "Longline/Excel") is a Delaware corporation established in November
1993. All of the outstanding capital stock of each of Longline and Excel Armor
is owned by Messrs. Thomas M. O'Gara, (approximately 92%), Thomas M. Letter
(approximately 5%), Wilfred T. O'Gara, Charles A. Williams and Nicholas P.
Carpinello (approximately 1% each).
 
     Lease agreements. OHE has a Master Equipment Lease with Longline, entered
into in July 1995, pursuant to which OHE leases various items of equipment from
Longline. As of June 30, 1996, OHE had approximately $1,250,000 of equipment
under lease for 12 and 36-month terms, beginning on various dates between July
1995 and April 1996, having aggregate minimum lease payments over the terms of
such leases of $1,014,924.
 
     Supplier arrangements. Since 1995, OHE has purchased the dual-hard steel
required for certain aspects of its vehicle armoring from Excel Armor, which
distributes the steel for Allegheny Ludlum Corporation, an unrelated third
party. Purchases by OHE from Excel Armor were $520,700 and $623,318 during 1995
and the first six months of 1996, respectively, and accounted for 90% and 98% of
Excel Armor's sales revenues for the same periods. In connection with these
purchases, OHE advanced $160,390 and $111,956 to Excel Armor during 1995 and the
first six months of 1996, respectively, to fund Excel Armor's initial purchase
commitments and guaranteed a $150,000 letter of credit furnished by Excel Armor
to the third party. The shareholders of Excel Armor will repay OHE's advances
prior to December 31, 1996. Currently, OHE is purchasing its dual-hard steel
directly from the third party. In August 1995, Excel Armor and OHE entered into
an agreement under which OHE manufactures certain parts needed by Excel Armor in
connection with a contract with a third party. The total contract price is
$129,000, of which OHE will receive $113,000.
 
                                       46

     Corporate aircraft. During 1993, OHE made payments aggregating $79,372 to
The August Group, a partnership in which Mr. Thomas M. O'Gara had a 25%
interest, for operating and other costs relating to a Learjet owned by The
August Group. In return, OHE was to have long-term use of the Learjet at
favorable flight rates. During the same period, OHE incurred $214,930 in flight
and pilot charges for use of the aircraft. During 1993, $42,746 of the operating
charge payments to The August Group, due to be refunded to OHE, was written off
on OHE's books. Mr. O'Gara sold his interest in the partnership in late 1993.
 
     Effective January 1, 1994, OHE entered into a five year lease for a Hawker
jet owned by Longline. Financing for the jet had been provided to Longline by
means of a $1,100,000 loan from Cessna Finance Corporation to Mr. Thomas M.
O'Gara. OHE's agreement with Longline provided for deposit and rental payments
aggregating $1,634,000 over the term of the lease. This lease was cancelled
effective January 30, 1995.
 
     In February 1995, OHE entered into a lease for a Gulfstream G-II aircraft
owned by Longline and Excel Armor as tenants in common. The Gulfstream aircraft
was purchased by Longline/Excel for a price of $4,060,000 (represented by an
exchange of the Hawker jet and new financing). In connection with the
cancellation of the Hawker lease, $440,493, representing the unamortized portion
of OHE's $504,000 deposit on that lease, was transferred as the deposit on the
Gulfstream lease. The Gulfstream lease had a non-cancelable ten year term and
initially provided for rental payments of $53,000 per month. Nonetheless the
Company paid rentals based on actual usage. In August 1996, the Gulfstream lease
was amended to provide for minimum lease payments of $35,200 per month.
 
     In February 1995, OHE also entered into a supplemental agreement with
Longline/Excel pursuant to which Longline/Excel agreed to provide all aircraft
management (including insurance) for the Gulfstream aircraft and to charter it
to others when not in use by OHE. Pursuant to this arrangement, and in lieu of
the $53,000 per month rental payments then required by the lease, OHE paid
Longline/Excel $30,000 per month, plus $1,800 per hour of monthly use in excess
of 16.7 hours, and Longline/Excel was entitled to retain all revenues from the
charter operations. In connection with the August 1996 amendment to the
Gulfstream lease, this agreement was amended to allow OHE 23 hours of usage per
month and to provide for charges of $1,500 per hour thereafter. Longline/Excel
continues to retain all revenues from charter operations. During 1995 and for
the first six months of 1996, OHE expensed $414,160 and $200,033 (including
amortization of the deposit on the lease), respectively, to Longline/Excel in
connection with the agreements for Gulfstream aircraft.
 
INTERCOMPANY NOTES AND ACCOUNTS PAYABLE/RECEIVABLE
 
     At June 30, 1996, in addition to intercompany balances in the normal course
of business, OHE was indebted to O'Gara Overseas Services, S.A. ("OOS"), for
money borrowed, in the amount of $90,015, representing principal of $88,685 and
accrued interest of $1,330 on a demand note bearing interest at 3.0% per annum.
OOS is a Swiss corporation owed 49% by O'Gara Overseas Services Trust ("OOS
Trust") and 51% by Limited. OOS Trust is an irrevocable trust, the income and
assets of which OHE is the sole beneficiary. This note will be repaid by the
Company from the proceeds of the Offering.
 
     OOS holds a promissory note in the principal amount of $250,000 from Mr.
Thomas M. O'Gara, for money borrowed, which bears interest at the rate of 3.0%
per annum and is due on demand. At June 30, 1996, $274,315 in principal and
accrued interest was outstanding under this note.
 
     OHE holds promissory notes, for money borrowed, in the principal amounts of
$100,000 and $130,000 from Mr. Thomas M. O'Gara. Each note bears interest at the
rate of 8.75% per annum and is due on December 31, 1996. At June 30, 1996,
$239,961 in principal and accrued interest was outstanding under these notes. In
addition, Mr. Thomas M. O'Gara is indebted, for money borrowed, to OHE for
$242,242 principal amount, which is not represented by a promissory note. Mr.

     OSN holds a promissory note, for money borrowed, from Excel Metal Products,
Inc. ("Excel Metal"), a corporation wholly owned by Mr. Thomas M. O'Gara, in the

                                       47
<PAGE>   50
 
interest at the rate of 8.5% and is due on February 11, 1997. At June 30, 1996,
$320,172 in principal and accrued interest was outstanding pursuant to this
note. Mr. Thomas M. O'Gara will cause Excel Metal to repay this indebtedness
upon consummation of the Offering.
 
     In December 1993, the Company offset a long-term note in the amount of
$700,000 payable to Mr. Thomas M. O'Gara against a note receivable in the same
amount from Silver Springs Land and Cattle Company ("SSLCC"), a Nevada
corporation of which Thomas M. O'Gara is the President and sole shareholder. In
December 1993, $59,500 in accrued interest due from SSLCC was written off on the
books of OHE. In 1993, 1994 and 1995, OHE paid SSLCC $6,050, $55,203 and
$11,082, respectively, for the use of its facilities for corporate meetings. No
payments were made in the first six months of 1996, and the use of these
facilities by the Company has been discontinued.
 
     Prior to August 1994, OHE was indebted to Letter International Limited
Irrevocable Trust in the amount of $1,260,000. Letter International Limited
Irrevocable Trust was a trust of which OHE was the sole beneficiary. At the same
time, the Trust was indebted in an equal amount to Mr. Thomas M. O'Gara. Mr.
Thomas M. O'Gara received from the Trust an assignment of the OHE's obligation
in satisfaction of the Trust's indebtedness to him. Mr. Thomas M. O'Gara then
agreed to the cancellation of this indebtedness of OHE in exchange for shares of
common stock of OHE equal to 21.5% of the shares of OHE outstanding, giving
effect to such transaction.
 
     Through the services of Thomas M. Letter, OOS provides sales and marketing
services for OHE and OSN. During 1993, 1994, 1995 and the first six months of
1996, $247,744, $362,761, $377,144 and $155,772, respectively, were paid to OOS
for these services.
 
     OPS has received, since its incorporation in 1988, certain medical and
general liability insurance coverage under OHE's insurance policies. These
insurance programs are paid for by OPS through monthly and annual premiums
established by OHE's insurance provider. These arrangements will be terminated
upon the consummation of the Offering.

     Building lease. OLG, Limited, an Ohio limited liability company owned by
Messrs. Thomas M. O'Gara, Wilfred T. O'Gara, Gary W. Allen, Richard Curotto,
Nicholas P. Carpinello and Michael J. Lennon, was formed in March 1996 for the
purpose of acquiring and leasing to OHE the manufacturing facility located at

EXERCISE OF STOCK OPTIONS AND SALE OF SHARES
 
     On August 23, 1996, Messrs. Thomas M. O'Gara, Wilfred T. O'Gara, Nicholas
P. Carpinello and Richard L. Curotto exercised options previously granted on
December 31, 1993 to purchase 138, 131, 91 and 85 shares of the Common Stock of
OHE, respectively, at a price of $1.00 per share. Giving effect to the
Reorganization, the corresponding numbers of shares of Common Stock of the
Company would be 37,667, 35,756, 24,838 and 23,201, respectively, at a price of
$0.0037 per share.
 
     On August 23, 1996, Mr. Thomas M. O'Gara sold 10 shares of the Common Stock
of OHE to each of Messrs. Nicholas P. Carpinello and Charles A. Williams for a
price of $468.00 per share (equivalent to 2,730 shares each of Common Stock of
the Company for a price of $1.71 per share). The Company will incur a non-
recurring, non-cash expense of approximately $37,000 in the fiscal quarter in
which the Offering is closed relating to such sales. This expense will result in
a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital, and no change in total
shareholders' equity. This expense is not tax deductible and represents the
difference between the net offering price and the net sales price of these
shares as if issued directly by the Company.

     Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of
record on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. Shareholders do not
have the right to cumulate their votes in the election of directors.
 
     Subject to preferences which have been and may be granted to holders of
preferred stock, holders of Common Stock are entitled to share in such dividends
as the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may validly declare from funds
legally available. In the event of liquidation, each outstanding share of Common
Stock entitles its holder to participate ratably in the assets remaining after
payment of liabilities and any preferred stock liquidation preferences.
 
     Shareholders have no preemptive or other rights to subscribe for or
purchase additional shares of any class of stock or any other securities of the
Company. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions with regard to the
Common Stock. All outstanding shares of Common Stock are fully paid, validly
issued and nonassessable.
 
     The vote of holders of a majority of all outstanding shares of Common Stock
is required to amend the Restated Articles of Incorporation and to approve
mergers, reorganizations, and similar transactions.
 
PREFERRED STOCK
 
     Up to 100,000 authorized shares of preferred stock may be issued from time
to time in series having such designations, preferences and rights,
qualifications and limitations as the Board of Directors may determine without
any approval of shareholders. Preferred stock could be given rights which would
adversely affect the equity of holders of Common Stock and could have preference
to Common Stock with respect to dividend and liquidation rights. Issuance of
preferred stock could have the effect of acting as an anti-takeover device to
prevent a change of control of the Company.
 
PROVISIONS AFFECTING BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND CHANGES IN CONTROL
 
     Ohio law governs the rights of shareholders of the Company. Chapter 1704 of
the Ohio Revised Code may be viewed as having an anti-takeover effect. This
statute, in general, prohibits an "issuing public corporation" (the definition
of which would include the Company) from entering into a "Chapter 1704
Transaction" with the beneficial owner (or affiliates of such beneficial owner)
of 10% or more of the outstanding shares of the corporation (an "interested
shareholder") for at least three years following the date on which the
interested shareholder attains such 10% ownership, unless the board of directors
of the corporation approves, prior to such person becoming an interested
shareholder, either the transaction or the acquisition of shares resulting in a
10% ownership position. A "Chapter 1704 Transaction" is broadly defined to
include, among other things, a merger or consolidation with, a sale of
substantial assets to, or the receipt of a loan, guaranty or other financial
benefit (which is not proportionately received by all shareholders) from the
interested shareholder. Following the expiration of such three-year period, a
Chapter 1704 Transaction with the interested shareholder is permitted only if
either (i) the transaction is approved by the holders of at least two-thirds of
the voting power of the corporation (or such different proportion as is set
forth in the corporation's articles of incorporation), including a majority of
the outstanding shares excluding those owned by the interested shareholder, or
(ii) the business combination results in the shareholders other than the
interested shareholder receiving a prescribed "fair price" for their shares. One
significant effect of Chap-
 
                                       51
<PAGE>   54
 
ter 1704 is to encourage a person to negotiate with the board of directors of a
corporation prior to becoming an interested shareholder.
 
     In addition, Section 1707.043 of the Ohio Revised Code requires a person or
entity that makes a proposal to acquire the control of a corporation to repay to
that corporation any profits made from trades in the corporation's stock within
18 months after making the control proposal.
 
     Section 1701.831 of the Ohio GCL (the "Control Share Acquisition Statute")
requires shareholder approval of any proposed "control share acquisition" of an
Ohio corporation. A "control share acquisition" is the acquisition, directly or
indirectly, by any person (including any individual, partnership, corporation,
limited liability company, society, association or two or more persons who have
a joint or common interest) of shares of a corporation that, when added to all
other shares of the corporation that may be voted, directly or indirectly, by
the acquiring person, would entitle such person to exercise or direct the
exercise of 20% or more (but less than 33 1/3%) of the voting power of the
corporation in the election of directors or 33 1/3% or more (but less than a
majority) of such voting power or a majority or more of such voting power. Under
the Control Share Acquisition Statute, the control share acquisition must be
approved in advance by the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting
shares represented at a meeting at which a quorum is present and by the holders
of a majority of the portion of the outstanding voting shares represented at
such a meeting excluding the voting shares owned by the acquiring shareholder
and certain "interested shares," including shares owned by officers elected or
appointed by the directors of the corporation and by directors of the
corporation who are also employees of the corporation.
 
     The purpose of the Control Share Acquisition Statute is to give
shareholders of Ohio corporations a reasonable opportunity to express their
views on a proposed shift in control, thereby reducing the coercion inherent in
an unfriendly takeover. The provisions of the Control Share Acquisition Statute
grant to the shareholders of the Company the assurance that they will have
adequate time to evaluate the proposal of the acquiring person, that they will
be permitted to vote on the issue of authorizing the acquiring person's purchase
program to go forward in the same manner and with the same proxy information
that would be available to them if a proposed merger of the Company were before
them and, most importantly, that the interests of all shareholders will be taken
into account in connection with such vote and the probability will be increased
that they will be treated equally regarding the price to be offered for their
common shares if the implementation of the proposal is approved.
 
     The Control Share Acquisition Statute applies not only to traditional
offers but also to open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions and
original issuances by an Ohio corporation, whether friendly or unfriendly. The
procedural requirements of the Control Share Acquisition Statute could render
approval of any control share acquisition difficult in that the transaction must
be authorized at a special meeting of shareholders, at which a quorum is
present, by the affirmative vote of the majority of the voting power represented
and by a majority of the portion of such voting power excluding "interested
shares." It is recognized that any corporate defense against persons seeking to
acquire control may have the effect of discouraging or preventing offers which
some shareholders might find financially attractive. On the other hand, the need
on the part of the acquiring person to convince the shareholders of the Company
of the value and validity of his offer may cause such offer to be more
financially attractive in order to gain shareholder approval.
 
     While the Company believes that these provisions are in its best interests,
potential shareholders should be aware that such provisions could be
disadvantageous to them because the overall effect of these statutes may be to
render more difficult or discourage the removal of incumbent management or the
assumption of effective control by other persons.
 
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
 
     The registrar and transfer agent for the Company's Common Stock is The
Fifth Third Bank, Cincinnati, Ohio.

                        SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
     Upon completion of the Offering, the Company will have outstanding
7,011,846 shares of Common Stock. The 2,800,000 shares sold in the Offering and
any of the up to 420,000 shares sold upon exercise of the Underwriters'
over-allotment option, will be freely tradeable by persons other than
"affiliates" of the Company, as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), without restriction or
registration under that Act. The remaining 4,211,846 shares (the "Restricted
Shares") will be held by the Company's current shareholders. The Restricted
Shares may not be sold unless they are registered under the Act or sold pursuant
to an applicable exemption from registration, including an exemption pursuant to
Rule 144. The Company and its current shareholders have agreed not to offer,
sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock, including the
Restricted Shares, for a period of 180 days from the date of this Prospectus,
without the prior written consent of Dillon, Read & Co. Inc.
 
     Rule 144 governs the public sale in ordinary trading transactions of
"restricted securities" and of securities owned by "affiliates." Restricted
securities are securities acquired directly or indirectly from an issuer in a
transaction not involving a public offering. In general, under Rule 144, if a
holding period of at least two years has elapsed since the date the restricted
securities were acquired from the Company, then the holder of such restricted
securities (including an affiliate of the Company) is entitled, subject to
certain conditions, to sell within any three-month period a number of shares
which does not exceed the greater of (i) 1% of the Company's then outstanding
shares of Common Stock or (ii) the shares' average weekly trading volume during
the four calendar weeks preceding such sale. Sales under Rule 144 are also
subject to certain manner-of-sale provisions and requirements as to notice and
the availability of current public information about the Company. The Company
anticipates that essentially all of the Restricted Shares will be eligible for
sale 90 days after the Offering pursuant to Rule 144.
 
     The Company has reserved up to 400,000 shares of its Common Stock for
issuance under its 1996 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). Upon the completion of
the Offering there will be options for 180,000 shares of Common Stock
outstanding under the Plan. The Company currently intends to register the shares
of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan. Subject to the expiration
of the 180-day lock-up period, and subject to compliance with Rule 144 by
affiliates of the Company and to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 by directors, officers and 10% beneficial owners, any shares issued upon
exercise of options granted under the Plan will become freely tradeable at the
effective date of the registration statement for the Plan shares.
 
     Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Common
Stock, and no prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that market sales
of shares or the availability of shares for sale will have on the market price
prevailing from time to time. Nevertheless, sales of substantial amounts of
Common Stock in the public market could adversely affect prevailing market
prices and the Company's ability to raise capital at favorable prices.
Application has been made for listing of Common Stock for quotation on the
Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "OGAR." There can be no assurance,
however, that, if approved, the Company will be able to maintain its Nasdaq
listing.

     After the reorganization transaction discussed in Note 1 to The O'Gara
Company's combined financial statements is effected, we expect to be in a
position to render the following audit report.
 
Cincinnati, Ohio,                                            ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Shareholders of
     The O'Gara Company:
 
     We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of THE O'GARA
COMPANY (Note 1) as of December 31, 1994 and 1995 and the related combined
statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of The O'Gara Company (Note 1)
as of December 31, 1994 and 1995 and the results of its operations and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

employment agreement, a five year non-competition agreement and a commission
agreement with the former shareholder. Under the terms of these agreements,
Limited forgave a $15,000 receivable from the former shareholder and is required
to pay the former shareholder $100,000 prior to October 1, 1997 (see Notes 2 and

  REORGANIZATION --
 
     In contemplation of a public equity offering (see Notes 14 and 15), the
above combining entities and respective shareholders have entered into a
reorganization plan which will result in the following:
 
          (1) The shareholders of OHE will transfer their ownership interests in
     OHE to The O'Gara Company (the Company), an Ohio corporation which prior to
     the proposed public equity offering had nominal assets and no operations,
     in exchange for common stock of the Company. The ratio of exchange was
     272.95 shares of Company common stock for each share of OHE stock.
 
          (2) The Company will then acquire all of the equity ownership of OSN
     from the shareholders of OSN in exchange for shares of Company common
     stock. The ratio of exchange was 793.1 shares of Company common stock for
     each share of OSN stocks.

     The Company is subject to audit and investigation by various agencies which
oversee contract performance in connection with the Company's contracts with the
U.S. Government. Management believes that potential claims from such audits and
investigations will not have a material adverse effect on the combined financial
statements. In addition, contracts with the U.S. Government generally contain
cost or performance incentives or both based on stated targets or other
criteria. Cost or performance incentives are recorded at the time there is
sufficient information to relate actual performance to targets or other
criteria.
 
     (b) Revenue Recognition -- Revenue related to government contracts and most
commercial contracts results principally from long-term fixed price contracts
and is recognized on the percentage-of-completion method calculated utilizing
the cost-to-cost approach. The percent deemed to be complete is calculated by
comparing the costs incurred to date to estimated total costs for each contract.
This method is used because management considers costs incurred to be the best
available measure of progress on these contracts. However, adjustments to this
measurement are made when management believes that costs incurred materially
exceed effort expended. Contract costs include all direct material and labor
costs, along with certain direct overhead costs related to contract production.
 
     Provisions for any estimated total contract losses on uncompleted contracts
are recorded in the period in which it becomes known that such losses will
occur. Changes in estimated total contract costs will result in revisions to
contract revenue. These revisions are recognized when determined.
 
     Revenue related to telecommunications equipment and services is recognized
as equipment is shipped or as services are provided. Revenue and related direct
costs of brokered satellite time are recorded when payments are received from
customers.

         Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted
contracts are net of $13,331,608 and $20,385,270 of progress billings to the
United States Military at December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively, and
$46,401,061 at June 30, 1996.
 
         Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted
contracts represent revenue recognized on long-term contracts in excess of
billings because amounts were not billable at the balance sheet date. It is
anticipated such unbilled amounts attributable to the United States Military
will generally be billed over the next 90 days as the contract is substantially
completed. Amounts receivable on other contracts are generally billed as
shipments are made. It is estimated that substantially all of such amounts will
be billed within one year, although contract extensions may delay certain
collections beyond one year.
 
     (d) Advances to Vendors -- OHE and OSN periodically make advances to
vendors. Such advances are non-interest bearing and are generally applied to
vendor billings for shipments of inventory (Note 5).
 
     (e) Inventories -- Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market
using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method and include the following:

     Costs applicable to bids in process are deferred when management believes
it is probable that future contracts will be obtained. These costs are
transferred to contract costs when contracts are awarded or are expensed when
the contract award is no longer considered probable.
 
     (h) Income Taxes -- OHE is an S Corporation for federal and state income
tax purposes. As an S Corporation, OHE generally is not responsible for income
taxes. Instead, OHE's taxable income or loss is included in the applicable
shareholders' individual federal and state income tax returns.
 
     As described in Notes 1, 14 and 15, the Company has pending an initial
public offering for the sale of common stock. Prior to the consummation of the
offering, OHE's status as an S Corporation will be terminated and, accordingly,
OHE will be subject to federal and state income taxes after the sale of the
common stock of the Company. In addition, OHE will be required to recognize a
deferred tax asset for cumulative temporary differences between financial
reporting and tax reporting, which include primarily accruals and reserves not
currently deductible for tax purposes. Such deferred tax asset will be based on
the cumulative temporary difference at the date of termination of the S
Corporation status. If the termination of the S Corporation status had occurred
at December 31, 1995 or June 30, 1996, the deferred tax asset would have been
approximately $730,000 or $883,000, respectively.
 
     The income tax provisions (benefits) of OSN, Limited, OHEM, OHEB, OSI and
Italy are not material to the accompanying combined statements of operations.
 
     (i) Foreign Currency Translation -- Assets and liabilities of foreign
operations are translated using year-end exchange rates and revenues and
expenses are translated using exchange rates prevailing during the year,
 
                                      F-11

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
with gains or losses resulting from translation included in a separate component
of shareholders' equity. Gains and losses resulting from transactions in foreign
currencies were immaterial.
 
     (j) Use of Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
     (k) Interim Information -- The accompanying interim combined financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments and reclassifications considered necessary for a fair and comparable
presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. Operating
results for the six months ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1996.
 
     (l) Research and Development -- Research and development costs are expensed
as incurred. The Company incurred approximately $19,000, $69,000 and $91,000 for
the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively, and $36,000 and
$41,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively, for
research and development. These costs are included in general and administrative
expenses in the accompanying combined statements of operations.
 
     (m) Advertising -- Advertising costs, while not material, are expensed as
incurred.
 
     (n) Investments -- In May 1995, OSN entered into a joint venture, OGM
Communications, Ltd. (OGM), with Morsviazsputnik (MVS), the Russian signatory to
Inmarsat and a marketer of Inmarsat mobile services. OSN owns a 49% interest in
OGM. The investment in OGM was recorded at the cost of the initial capital
contribution of $50,000 in May 1995 and is accounted for on the equity method.
The Company's proportionate share of OGM's income (loss) was $(24,785) for the
year ended December 31, 1995 and $7,663 for the six months ended June 30, 1996.
 
     (o) New Accounting Pronouncements -- In March 1995, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 121 (SFAS No. 121), "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
of," which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used
in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted
cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets'
carrying amount. This statement also addresses the accounting for long-lived
assets that are expected to be disposed of in the future. The Company adopted
SFAS No. 121 in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 with no material impact.
 
     In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 123 (SFAS No. 123), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which
encourages companies to recognize expense for stock-based awards based on their
fair value on the date of grant. At a minimum, SFAS No. 123 will require pro
forma disclosures in the Company's fiscal 1996 financial statements. The Company
has determined not to adopt the expense recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123.

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
     Interest cost associated with the above obligations expensed by OHE
approximated $92,000, $38,000 and $33,000 for the years ended 1993, 1994 and
1995, respectively, and $17,000 and $20,000 for the six months ended 1995 and
1996, respectively.
 
     (e) Sales - Affiliated Entities -- In 1995, OHE entered into a contract
with Excel to provide certain manufacturing services. Total revenue recognized

ended June 30, 1996.
 
     Beginning in 1995, OSN entered into certain sales contracts with MVS for

     (g) Building and Equipment Leases -- OHE currently is leasing a corporate
aircraft from Longline/Excel under a non-cancelable ten year lease agreement
which began in February 1995. The lease stipulates minimum monthly payments of
$35,200, with additional charges accruing for usage in excess of established
base limits. In 1994, OHE leased a corporate aircraft from Longline under a five
year agreement. This original lease was canceled upon the execution of the lease
with Longline/Excel. The terms of the original lease and the newly executed
lease required a non-refundable deposit. The original deposit of approximately
$504,000 is being amortized as rental expense over the existing lease period.

shareholder which stipulated monthly payments of $10,000 for services to be
provided relating to certain U.S. Government contracts. OHE recognized $120,000

(5) REVOLVING LINES OF CREDIT
 
     OHE had a $8,500,000 revolving line of credit with a bank at December 31,
1995 with interest at the bank's prime rate. In May 1996, OHE obtained an
additional $3.5 million revolving line of credit with interest at the bank's
prime rate plus 1%. These lines of credit mature on November 1, 1996 and are
secured by substantially all of the assets of OHE. In addition, the $3.5 million
revolving line of credit is secured by the personal guarantees of OHE's
shareholders. The lines of credit contain certain covenants, which among other
restrictions, require the maintenance of a minimum net worth and certain defined
financial ratios. OHE was not in compliance with certain covenants at December
31, 1995. All such violations were subsequently waived or amended by the lender.
Borrowings under these and prior lines of credit were $5,637,740 and $7,601,686
at December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively, and $9,809,896 at June 30, 1996.
 
     OSN has a bank credit facility consisting of (i) a $1,000,000 six-month
revolving loan, of which $1,000,000 was outstanding at December 31, 1995 and
June 30, 1996, and (ii) an available $3,000,000 six-month letter of credit of
which $1,587,079 and $2,836,079 was outstanding at December 31, 1995 and June
30, 1996, respectively. The letter of credit was established in the name of a
prime supplier with which OSN has a firm purchase commitment (see Note 10). The
letter of credit is provided for the reimbursement of costs incurred by the
supplier relating to the production of inventory (Note 10) to be sold to OSN. At
December 31, 1995, and June 30, 1996, OSN had advances to this vendor of
$1,607,597 and $2,624,788, respectively, related to such inventories. The
facility was originally payable on February 14, 1996 and was subsequently
refinanced through February 14, 1997. The facility is secured by OSN's currently
owned and future acquired inventory and accounts receivable.
 
     Interest on borrowings outstanding at December 31, 1995 accrues at the
bank's prime rate (8.5% at December 31, 1995) and is payable monthly.
 
     In June 1996, OHEB obtained a $500,000 line of credit with interest at
market rates. This line of credit matures on May 31, 1997 and is supported by a
standby letter of credit issued by OHE's primary lender with a similar maturity.
As of June 30, 1996, there were no borrowings under this line of credit.

     The Company does not maintain any other postretirement or postemployment

(9) EXECUTIVE BONUS PLAN
 
     During 1993, OHE adopted an executive bonus plan, which covered four
individuals. The plan awarded a bonus based on the attainment of goals
stipulated in the five year business plan, ranging from 50 to 120 percent of the
executives' base compensation. The bonus amounts were distributed 50% in cash
and 50% in non-qualified stock options to purchase stock of OHE. Subject to the
executives' ability to elect a decrease in the percentage of cash payments and
to increase the percentage of stock options, 50 percent of the bonus amount was
payable in cash, and the remainder in stock options. All options are exercisable
at $1 per share, will be forfeited should the executives terminate employment,
and are exercisable at the earliest of (i) the rejection of a bonafide offer to
purchase OHE, (ii) death or disability, or (iii) December 31, 1997. Stock
received upon exercise is subject to the same buyback agreements as OHE's common
stock (see Notes 10 and 14).
 
     OHE issued 445 options in 1994 based on 1993's operating results and
recorded compensation expense of approximately $207,000 in fiscal 1993. No
options were issued in 1994 or 1995.
 
(10) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
     (a) Letters of Credit -- Under the terms of the Economic Development
Revenue Bonds Agreement, OHE is required to maintain a letter of credit
supporting the debt. OHE's lender is committed to providing this letter of
credit to September 2, 1996. As of December 31, 1995, OHE had an outstanding
letter of credit in the amount of $1,912,500.

whereby Magellan will purchase 4,000 Compact-M portable satellite
telecommunication units for delivery within two years of the first shipment at a

agreement provides for an irrevocable purchase order for the purchase of 4,000
units of the Compact-M for approximately $12,000,000. In accordance with the
agreement, OSN delivered to Glocom a letter-of-credit in the amount of
$3,000,000 that expired in February 1996 and was extended through November 1996
for the funding of the related production costs incurred (see Note 5).
 
     In 1996, OHEB committed to purchase 100 glass kits, valued at approximately
$675,000, for delivery at various dates prior to June 1997.
 
     In 1996, OHEM entered into an irrevocable call option agreement whereby
OHEM was granted the option of purchasing its leased Mexico City manufacturing
facility for approximately $1,200,000. The option was acquired at a cost of
$29,000 and it expires on October 1, 1996.
 
     (c) Stock Buyback Agreements -- OHE's common stock is subject to a right of
first refusal prior to any sales and buy-back provisions based on estimated fair
market value (see Note 14).
 
     (d) Legal Matters -- The Company is party to various legal proceedings
arising from its combined operations. Management of the Company believes that
the outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will have
no material adverse effect on the Company's combined financial position or
results of operations.

approximate their respective historical carrying amounts.

(13) ISSUANCE OF OHE STOCK
 
     Prior to August 1994, OHE was indebted to Letter International Limited
Irrevocable Trust (Trust), a trust for which OHE was the sole beneficiary, in
the amount of $1,260,000. At the same time, the Trust was indebted in an equal
amount to OHE's majority shareholder. In August 1994, the majority shareholder
received from the Trust an assignment of OHE's obligation. The majority
shareholder then agreed to the cancellation of this indebtedness of OHE in
exchange for 2,692 shares of common stock of OHE (734,781 shares of the Company,
giving effect to the reorganization).
 
(14) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
     (a) Registration of Common Stock -- The Company has filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission a Form S-1 Registration Statement for the
sale of 2,800,000 shares of common stock (excluding the underwriters'
over-allotment option to purchase an additional 420,000 shares of common stock),
which will represent approximately 40% of the ownership of the Company. The
proceeds from the 2,400,000 shares to be sold by the Company in the offering
will be used for retirement of bank debt, payment of the AAA Notes (see (b)
below), purchase of the leased Mexico City manufacturing facility, the
acquisition in (g) below, transaction costs associated with the offering,
funding for acquisition activities and the balance for working capital. The
Registration Statement contains various risk factors that include, among others,
substantial dependence on U.S. Military contracts, single and primary source
suppliers, fluctuations in operating results, fixed price contracts, percentage
of completion accounting, competition and business and acquisition strategies
(See "Risk Factors" in the accompanying Registration Statement).
 
     Existing buyback arrangements for OHE's common stock and the OHE Executive
Bonus Plan will be terminated upon the effective date of the Company's planned
registration of common stock.
 
     (b) Dividend to Shareholders -- Prior to the effective date of the
Registration Statement, OHE will distribute to its shareholders a dividend of
approximately $9,000,000 in the form of long-term notes (the "AAA Notes") which
represent the undistributed previously taxed income of OHE as an S Corporation
through the effective date of the registration.
 
     (c) Stock Option Plans -- In August 1996, 445 options in the OHE Executive
Bonus Plan were exercised for 445 shares of OHE common stock in contemplation of
the planned public offering of common stock at their $1 per share stated value
(121,463 shares of the Company, giving effect to the reorganization).
 
     In 1996, the Company adopted a stock option plan for employees and
directors. Options granted under the plan are generally granted at fair market
value at date of grant and are exercisable over periods not exceeding ten years.
Shares reserved for grant pursuant to this plan may not exceed 400,000 shares
and options to purchase 180,000 common shares at the initial public offering
price will be awarded at the effective date of the registration.
 
     (d) Preferred Stock -- In August 1996, the Company authorized the issuance
of up to 100,000 preferred shares, $.01 par value.
 
     (e) Option to Purchase OHEB Minority Interest -- In August 1996, the
Company entered into an option agreement to acquire the minority interest in
OHEB on or prior to December 31, 1997. Under terms of the agreement, if the
Company exercises its option, it will be obligated to transfer to the former
shareholder, over a period of three years, common shares of the Company valued
at $1,200,000. The number of shares transferred is dependent on the market value
of the stock at the time of transfer. The exercise price for the purchase option
increases by $100,000 for each year after 1997 through 1999.
 
     In conjunction with this purchase, the Company also entered into a two year
employment agreement with the former shareholder.

agreed to a letter of intent to purchase certain assets and certain liabilities
of Palmer Associates, S.C. ("Palmer") for $1,000,000 in cash, payable $500,000
at the closing of the planned registration of common stock and $250,000 each on
December 31, 1997 and 1998. The former owner also will receive a $200,000
covenant not to compete, payable over four years, and a two year employment
agreement.
 
(15) PRO FORMA INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
 
     (a) Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet Information -- The pro forma combined
balance sheet at June 30, 1996 reflects the following pro forma adjustments:

        (ii) Elimination of certain net liabilities of Limited (approximately
           $46,000) not acquired by OHE in the reorganization.
 
        (iii) Recognition of a $883,000 net deferred tax asset resulting from
           the termination of OHE's S Corporation status.
 
        (iv) The reclassification of a portion of the remaining retained deficit
           of OHE prior to OHE becoming a C Corporation, from retained deficit
           to additional paid-in capital to the extent available (approximately
           $2.5 million).

forma combined statements of operations information presents the pro forma
effects on the historical combined financial information reflecting certain

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
 
     Section 1701.13(E) of the Ohio General Corporation Law allows
indemnification by the Registrant to any person made or threatened to be made a
party to any proceedings, other than a proceeding by or in the right of the
Registrant, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the Registrant, against expenses, including judgments and
fines, if he acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant and, with respect to
criminal actions, in which he had no reasonable cause to believe that his
conduct was unlawful. Similar provisions apply to actions brought by or in the
right of the Registrant, except that no indemnification shall be made in such
cases when the person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or
misconduct to the Registrant unless determined by the court. The right to
indemnification is mandatory in the case of a director or officer who is
successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein. Permissive indemnification is
to be made by a court of competent jurisdiction, the majority vote of a quorum
of disinterested directors, the written opinion of independent counsel or by the
shareholders.
 
     The Registrant's Code of Regulations provides that the Registrant shall
indemnify such persons to the fullest extent permitted by law.
 
     The Registrant intends to maintain director and officer liability insurance
which provides coverage against certain liabilities.

ITEM 16. EXHIBITS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES.
 
     (a) Exhibits. The list of exhibits is set forth beginning on page II-5 of
this Registration Statement and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
     (b) Financial Statement Schedules. See Index to Financial Statement
Schedules on page S-1 for the list of financial statement schedules filed with
this Registration Statement.
 
ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
 
     *(f) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the
underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements certificates
in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the
underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
 
     *(h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
 
                                      II-2
<PAGE>   81
 
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
 
     *(i) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:
 
        (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of
this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form
of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or
497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this Registration
Statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
        (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus
shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Shareholders of The O'Gara Company:
 
     We have audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards,
the combined financial statements of THE O'GARA COMPANY included in this
registration statement and have issued our report thereon dated July 10, 1996,
except for Notes 14 and 15 as to which the date is August 29, 1996. Our audit
was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic combined financial
statements taken as a whole. The schedule listed in the accompanying index is
the responsibility of the Company's management and is presented for purposes of
complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and is not part of
the basic combined financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic combined financial
statements and, in our opinion, fairly states, in all material respects, the
financial data required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic
combined financial statements taken as a whole.

DILLON, READ & CO. INC.
FURMAN SELZ LLC
EQUITABLE SECURITIES CORPORATION
  as Managing Underwriters
c/o Dillon Read & Co. Inc.
535 Madison Avenue
New York, New York  10022

Ladies and Gentlemen:

            Pursuant to the terms of this Underwriting Agreement (the
"Agreement"), The O'Gara Company, an Ohio corporation (the "Company"), proposes
to issue and sell, and the persons named in Schedule B annexed hereto (the
"Selling Shareholders") propose to sell, to the underwriters named in Schedule A
annexed hereto (the "Underwriters") an aggregate of shares (the "Firm Shares")
of Common Stock, $0.01 par value (the "Common Stock"), of the Company, of which
shares are to be issued and sold by the Company and an aggregate of shares are
to be sold by the Selling Shareholders in the respective amounts set forth
opposite their names in Schedule B annexed hereto.

            In addition, solely for the purpose of covering over allotments, the
Company proposes to issue and sell to the Underwriters, at the Underwriters'
option, up to an additional         shares of Common Stock (the "Additional
Shares"). The Firm Shares and the Additional Shares are hereinafter collectively
sometimes referred to as the "Shares." The Shares are described in the
Prospectus which is referred to below.

            The Company has filed, in accordance with the provisions of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder
(collectively, the "Act"), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") a registration statement on Form S-1 (333-     ), including a
prospectus, relating to the Shares. The Company has furnished to you, for use by
the Underwriters and by dealers, copies of one or more preliminary prospectuses
(each thereof being herein called a "Preliminary Prospectus") relating to the
Shares. Except where the context otherwise requires, the registration statement
as in effect at the time of execution of this Agreement or, if the registration
statement is not yet effective, as amended when it becomes effective, including
all documents




<PAGE>   3
                                       -2-

filed as a part thereof, and including any registration statement filed pursuant
to Rule 462(b) under the Act increasing the size of the offering registered
under the Act and including any information contained in a prospectus
subsequently filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act and
deemed to be part of the registration statement at the time of effectiveness
pursuant to Rule 430A under the Act, is herein called the "Registration
Statement," and the prospectus, in the form filed by the Company with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act or, if no such filing is
required, in the form of final prospectus included in the Registration Statement
at the time it became effective, is herein called the "Prospectus."

            The Company, the Selling Shareholders and the Underwriters agree as
follows:

            1. Sale and Purchase. On the basis of the representations and
warranties and the other terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company and
each of the Selling Shareholders, severally and not jointly, agrees to sell to
the respective Underwriters and each of the Underwriters, severally and not
jointly, agrees to purchase from the Company and each Selling Shareholder the
respective number of Firm Shares (subject to such adjustment as you may
determine to avoid fractional shares) which bears the same proportion to the
number of Firm Shares to be sold by the Company or by such Selling Shareholder,
as the case may be, as the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the name of
such Underwriter on Schedule A annexed hereto bears to the total number of Firm
Shares to be sold by the Company and the Selling Shareholders, in each case at a
purchase price of $        per Share. You may release the Firm Shares for public
sale promptly after this Agreement becomes effective. You may from time to time
increase or decrease the public offering price after the initial public offering
to such extent as you may determine.

            In addition, on the basis of the representations and warranties and
the other terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company hereby grants to
the several Underwriters the option to purchase, and the Underwriters shall have
the right to purchase, severally and not jointly, from the Company all or a
portion of the Additional Shares as may be necessary to cover over-allotments
made in connection with the offering of the Firm Shares, at the same purchase
price per share to be paid by the Underwriters to the Company and the Selling
Shareholders for the Firm Shares. This option may be exercised in whole or
<PAGE>   4
                                       -3-

in part from time to time on or before the thirtieth day following the date
hereof, by written notice from Dillon Read & Co. Inc. ("Dillon Read") to the
Company. Any such notice shall set forth the aggregate number of Additional
Shares as to which the option is being exercised, and the date and time when the
Additional Shares are to be delivered (any such date and time being herein
referred to as an "additional time of purchase"); provided, however, that no
additional time of purchase shall occur earlier than the time of purchase (as
defined below) nor earlier than the second business day(1) after the date on
which the option shall have been exercised nor later than the eighth business
day after the date on which the option shall have been exercised. The number of
Additional Shares to be sold to each Underwriter at an additional time of
purchase shall be the number which bears the same proportion to the aggregate
number of Additional Shares being purchased at such additional time of purchase
as the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter on
Schedule A annexed hereto bears to the total number of Firm Shares (subject, in
each case, to such adjustment as you may determine to avoid fractional shares).

            Pursuant to a combined Custody Agreement and Powers of Attorney

            2. Payment and Delivery. Payment of the purchase price for the Firm
Shares shall be made to the Company and the Representatives of the Selling
Shareholders on behalf of the Selling Shareholders by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to accounts designated in writing by the Company and
each Selling Shareholder, as the case may be, against delivery of the
certificates for the Firm Shares to you for the respective accounts of the
Underwriters. Such payment and delivery shall be made at 10:00 A.M., New York
City time, on             , 1996 (unless another time shall be agreed to by you,
the Company and the Representatives of the Selling Shareholders or unless
postponed in accordance with the provisions of Section 10 hereof). The time at
which such payment and delivery are actually made is hereinafter sometimes
called the "time of purchase." Certificates for the Firm Shares shall be
delivered to you in definitive form in such names and in such denominations as
you shall specify on the second business day preceding the time of purchase.
For the purpose of expediting the checking of the certificates for the Firm
Shares by you, the Company and the Selling Shareholders agree to make such
certificates available to you for such purpose at least one full business day
preceding the time of purchase.

            Payment of the purchase price for the Additional Shares shall be
made at the additional time of purchase in the same manner and at the same
office as the payment for the Firm Shares. Certificates for the Additional
Shares shall be delivered to you in definitive form in such names and in such
denominations as you shall specify on the second business day preceding the
additional time of purchase. For the purpose of expediting the checking of the
certificates for the Additional Shares by you, the Company agrees to make such
certificates available to you for such purpose at least one full business day
preceding the additional time of purchase.

            The Selling Shareholders will pay all applicable state transfer
taxes, if any, involved in the transfer to the several Underwriters of the
Shares to be purchased by them from the Selling Shareholders.

            3. Representations and Warranties of the Company and the Selling
Shareholders. The Company and for purposes of inducing the Underwriters to enter

      governmental or regulatory commission, board, body, authority or agency

<PAGE>   11
                                      -10-

      such actions, suits and proceedings, would be reasonably likely to result

      funds for contributions, gifts, entertainment, or other unlawful expenses
      relating to political activity; (ii) made unlawfully and corruptly
      payments to government officials or employees or to political parties or
      campaigns from corporate funds; (iii) violated any applicable provision of
      the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended (the "FCPA");
      (iv) violated any applicable U.S. "fraud and abuse legislation" or U.S.
      "anti-kickback law"; or (v) made any other payment in the nature of a
      bribe, rebate, kickback, payoff or influence payment which was unlawful
      under applicable law at the relevant time;

            (s) the Company's internal accounting controls and procedures are
      sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that the Company's transactions
      are executed and recorded in accordance with the requirements of the FCPA;

      given in the Registration Statement and Prospectus, and except as may be

<PAGE>   12
                                      -11-

      or prospective, of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, (B)

      Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (C) any obligation, contingent or
      otherwise, directly or indirectly incurred by the Company or any of its
      Subsidiaries which is material to the business, properties, assets,

      Laws"), nor any federal or state law relating to discrimination in the
      hiring, promotion or pay of employees nor any applicable federal or state
      wages and hours laws, nor any provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
      Security Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, which in
      each case is reasonably likely to result in any Material Adverse Effect;

      or properties or compliance with Environmental Laws or any permit, license
      or approval, any related constraints on operating activities and any
      potential liabilities to third parties); on the basis of such review, the

      liabilities, singly or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse
      Effect;

            (w) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any
      employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, has made any payment
      of funds of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prohibited by law, and

<PAGE>   13
                                      -12-

            law or in equity, or before or by any federal, state, local or
            foreign governmental or regulatory commission, board, body,
            authority or agency that individually or in the aggregate could
            result in a judgment, decree or order having a Material Adverse
            Effect;

              (xviii) to the best of such counsel's knowledge, no person has the
            right, contractual or otherwise, to cause the Company to issue to
            it, or register pursuant to the Act, any securities of the Company
            in consequence of the issue and sale of the Shares to the
            Underwriters hereunder;

                (xix) each issuance of securities in the Reorganization referred
            to in Item 15 of the Registration Statement (i) was effected in
            reliance upon a valid exemption from the registration requirements
            of the Act and (ii) was effected in compliance with the securities
            or blue sky laws of each jurisdiction in which such securities were
            offered and sold;

                 (xx) none of the Company or its Subsidiaries is, or after
            application of the proceeds as described under the caption "Use of
            Proceeds" in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, will be
            an "investment company" or an affiliated person of, or "promoter" or
            "principal underwriter" for, an "investment company," as such terms
            are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and
            the rules and regulations thereunder;

                (xxi) the statements in the Registration Statement and the
            Prospectus under the captions "Business-Regulation," "Description
            of Capital Stock" and "Shares Eligible for Future Sale," insofar as
            such
<PAGE>   26
                                   -25-


            statements constitute summaries of legal matters, documents or
            proceedings referred to therein, have been reviewed by such counsel,
            are accurate in all material respects and fairly present the
            information called for with respect to such legal matters, documents
            or proceedings; and

               (xxii) such counsel have participated in conferences with
            officers and other representatives of the Company, representatives
            of the independent public accountants of the Company,
            representatives of the Selling Shareholders and representatives of
            the Underwriters at which the contents of the Registration Statement
            and Prospectus were discussed and, although such counsel is not
            passing upon and does not assume responsibility for the accuracy,
            completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the
            Registration Statement or Prospectus (except as and to the extent
            stated in subparagraphs (v), (vii) and (xix) above), on the basis of
            the foregoing (relying as to materiality to a large extent upon the
            opinions of officers and other representatives of the Company)
            nothing has come to the attention of such counsel that causes them
            to believe that the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto
            at the time such Registration Statement or amendment became
            effective contained an untrue statement of a material fact or
            omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
            necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or that the
            Prospectus or any supplement thereto at the date of such Prospectus
            or such supplement, and at all times up to and including the time of
            purchase or additional time of purchase, as the case may be,
            contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state
            a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
            the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
            which they were made, not misleading (it being understood that such
            counsel need express no opinion with respect to the financial
            statements and schedules and other financial and statistical data
            included in the Registration Statement or Prospectus).

            In rendering such opinions, such counsel may rely, as to matters
      governed by the laws of jurisdictions other than the United States, upon
      the opinions of foreign
<PAGE>   27
                                   -26-


      counsel to the Company and its Subsidiaries, which counsel shall be
      reasonably acceptable to the Underwriters. Such counsel may also rely as
      to matters of fact on certificates of officers of the Company and of
      governmental officials, in which case their opinion is to state that they
      are so doing and that the Underwriters are justified in relying on such
      certificates. Such counsel's opinion may state that where a matter is
      noted as being "to the best of such counsel's knowledge," or equivalent
      words, that such knowledge is limited to the conscious awareness of
      relevant information by those lawyers in such counsel's organization who
      have been actively involved in the matters contemplated by this Agreement
      or in the Reorganization as defined in the Prospectus.

            (b) The Selling Shareholders shall furnish to you at the time of
      purchase and at the additional time of purchase, as the case may be, an
      opinion of counsel for the Selling Shareholders, addressed to the
      Underwriters, and dated the time of purchase or the additional time of
      purchase, as the case may be, with reproduced copies for each of the other
      Underwriters, and in form and substance satisfactory to Cahill Gordon &
      Reindel, counsel for the Underwriters, stating that:

                  (i) this Agreement and the Custody Agreement/Powers of
            Attorney have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of
            each of the Selling Shareholders; the Custody Agreement/Powers of
            Attorney is the legal, valid and binding agreement of each of the
            Selling Shareholders enforceable in accordance with its terms,
            except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy,
            insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting
            creditors' rights generally and general principles of equity;

                 (ii) to the best of such counsel's knowledge, each Selling
            Shareholder has full legal right and power, and has obtained any
            authorization or approval required by law (other than those imposed
            by the Act and the securities or blue sky laws of certain
            jurisdictions), to sell, assign, transfer and deliver the Shares to
            be sold by such Selling Shareholder in the manner provided in this
            Agreement;
<PAGE>   28
                                   -27-


                (iii) to the best of such counsel's knowledge, delivery of
            certificates for the Shares by each Selling Shareholder pursuant
            hereto will pass to each Underwriter that is a "bona fide purchaser"
            (as defined in Section 1308.17 of the Ohio Revised Code) all of the
            rights of the Selling Shareholder in such shares free and clear of
            any adverse claim;

                 (iv) each of the Representatives of the Selling Shareholders
            has been duly authorized by each Selling Shareholder to execute and
            deliver on behalf of such Selling Shareholder this Agreement and any
            other document necessary or desirable in connection with the
            transactions contemplated hereby and to deliver the Shares to be
            sold by such Selling Shareholder and receive payment therefor
            pursuant hereto;

                  (v) to the best of such counsel's knowledge, the consummation
            of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Power of Attorney
            and the Custody Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof
            and thereof will not constitute a breach or violation of or default
            under any trust, indenture, agreement or other instrument to which
            any of the Selling Shareholders is a party or by which any of the
            Selling Shareholders is bound;

                 (vi) to the best of such counsel's knowledge, no approval,
            authorization, consent or order of or filing with any federal, state
            or local governmental or regulatory commission, board, body,
            authority or agency is required in connection with the sale of the
            Shares to be sold by the Selling Shareholders as contemplated hereby
            other than registration of the Shares under the Act (except such
            counsel need express no opinion as to any necessary qualification
            under the state securities or blue sky laws of the various
            jurisdictions in which the Shares are being offered by the
            Underwriters); and

                (vii) to the best of such counsel's knowledge, the statements in
            the Prospectus under the caption "Principal and Selling
            Shareholders" insofar as such statements constitute a summary of
            legal matters, documents or proceedings referred to therein present
            fairly the information called for with respect to such matters.
<PAGE>   29
                                   -28-


      In rendering such opinion, such counsel may rely, as to matters of fact,
      on certificates of the Selling Shareholders, in which case their opinion
      is to state that they are so doing, and that the Underwriters are
      justified in relying on such certificates. Such counsel's opinion may
      state that where a matter is noted as being "to the best of such counsel's
      knowledge," or equivalent words, that such knowledge is limited to the
      conscious awareness of relevant information by those lawyers in such
      counsel's organization who have been actively involved in the matters
      contemplated by this Agreement or in the Reorganization as defined in the
      Prospectus.

            (c) You shall have received from Arthur Andersen, LLP, letters
      dated, respectively, the date of this Agreement and the time of purchase
      and additional time of purchase, as the case may be, and addressed to the
      Underwriters (with reproduced copies for each of the Underwriters) in the
      forms heretofore approved by the Managing Underwriters.

            (d) You shall have received at the time of purchase and at the
      additional time of purchase, as the case may be, the favorable opinion of
      Cahill Gordon & Reindel, counsel for the Underwriters, dated the time of
      purchase or the additional time of purchase, as the case may be, in form
      and substance satisfactory to you.

            (e) No amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or
      Prospectus shall be filed prior to the time the Registration Statement
      becomes effective to which you object.

            (f) The Registration Statement shall become effective at or before
      5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date of this Agreement, and if Rule
      430A under the Act is used, the Prospectus shall have been filed with the
      Commission in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the Act; provided,
      however, that the Company, the Representatives of the Selling Shareholders
      and you or any group of Underwriters, including you, who have agreed
      hereunder to purchase in the aggregate at least 50% of the Firm Shares may
      from time to time agree on a later time for the effectiveness of the
      Registration Statement.

            (g)  Prior to the time of purchase and the additional time of
      purchase, as the case may be, (i) no stop order
<PAGE>   30
                                   -29-


      with respect to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall have
      been issued under the Act or proceedings initiated under Section 8(d) or
      8(e) of the Act; (ii) the Registration Statement and all amendments
      thereto, or modifications thereof, if any, shall not contain an untrue
      statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to
      be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
      misleading; and (iii) the Prospectus and all amendments or supplements
      thereto, or modifications thereof, if any, shall not contain an untrue
      statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to
      be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the
      light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

            (h) Between the time of execution of this Agreement and the time of
      purchase or the additional time of purchase, as the case may be, there has
      not been (i) any material and adverse change, present or prospective,
      financial or otherwise (other than as referred to in or contemplated by
      the Registration Statement and Prospectus), in the business, properties,
      assets, operations, liabilities, results of operations, business,
      condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company and its
      Subsidiaries taken as a whole; (ii) any transaction that is material to
      the Company and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole contemplated or entered
      into by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, other than as described in
      or contemplated by the Registration Statement and the Prospectus; or (iii)
      any obligation, contingent or otherwise, directly or indirectly, incurred
      by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries that is material to the Company
      and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole, other than as described in or
      contemplated by the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

            (i) The Company will, at the time of purchase or additional time of
      purchase, as the case may be, deliver to you a certificate of its chief
      executive officer and chief financial officer to the effect that the
      representations and warranties of the Company as set forth in this
      Agreement and the conditions set forth in paragraphs (g) and (h) of this
      Section 8 have been met and that they are true and correct in all material
      respects as of each such date (it being understood that, in the absence of
      bad
<PAGE>   31
                                   -30-


      faith, such individuals shall have no personal liability for the accuracy
      of such certificate).

            (j) You shall have received signed letters from each of the Selling
      Shareholders and each of the directors, officers and stockholders of the
      Company to the effect that such persons will not sell, contract to sell,
      grant any option to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, directly or
      indirectly, any shares of Common Stock of the Company or securities
      convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or warrants or other
      rights to purchase Common Stock for a period of 180 days after the date of
      the Prospectus without the prior written consent of Dillon Read.

            (k) The Shares shall have been approved for listing on the Nasdaq
      National Market, subject only to notice of issuance at or prior to the
      time of purchase.

            (l) Each Selling Shareholder shall have delivered to you, at the
      time of purchase a certificate of the Representatives of the Selling
      Shareholders to the effect that the representations and the warranties of
      such Selling Shareholder as set forth in this Agreement are true and
      correct as of each such date.

            (m) All corporate proceedings and other legal matters incident to
      the authorization, form and validity of this Agreement, the Shares, and
      the Prospectus, and all other legal matters relating to this Agreement,
      the Shares, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be
      satisfactory in all reasonable respects to Cahill Gordon & Reindel, and
      such counsel shall have been furnished with such documents and opinions,
      in addition to those set forth above, as they may reasonably require for
      the purpose of enabling them to review or pass upon the matters referred
      to in this Section 8, in order to evidence the accuracy, completeness and
      satisfaction in all material respects of any of the representations,
      warranties or conditions herein contained and to render the opinion
      referred to in Section 8(d).

            (n) The Company and the Selling Shareholders shall have furnished to
      you such other documents and certificates as to the accuracy and
      completeness of any statement in the Registration Statement and the
      Prospectus as of the
<PAGE>   32
                                   -31-


      time of purchase and the additional time of purchase, as the case may
      be, as you may reasonably request.

            (o) The Company and the Selling Shareholders shall have performed
      such of their respective obligations under this Agreement as are to be
      performed by the terms hereof at or before the time of purchase and at or
      before the additional time of purchase, as the case may be.

            (p) The Company shall furnish to you at the time of purchase and at
      such additional time of purchase, as the case may be, opinions of counsel
      in Brazil, Ireland, Italy, Mexico and Russia in the forms heretofore
      previously approved by you and satisfactory to Cahill Gordon & Reindel,
      counsel for the Underwriters.

            9. Effective Date of Agreement; Termination. (a) This Agreement
shall become effective (x) if Rule 430A under the Act is not used, when you
shall have received notification of the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement, or (y) if Rule 430A under the Act is used, when the parties hereto
have executed and delivered this Agreement.

            (b) The obligations of the several Underwriters hereunder shall be
subject to termination in the absolute discretion of you or in the absolute
discretion of Dillon Read, acting on your behalf, or any group of Underwriters
(which may include you) which has agreed to purchase in the aggregate at least
50% of the Firm Shares, if, at any time prior to the time of purchase or, with
respect to the purchase of any Additional Shares, the additional time of
purchase, as the case may be, (i) trading in securities on the New York Stock
Exchange shall have been suspended or minimum prices shall have been established
on the New York Stock Exchange, (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been
declared either by the United States or New York State authorities, or (iii) the
United States shall have declared war in accordance with its constitutional
processes or there shall have occurred any material outbreak or escalation of
hostilities or other national or international calamity or crisis of such
magnitude in its effect on the financial markets of the United States as, in
your judgment or in the judgment of Dillon Read, acting on your behalf, or in
the judgment of such group of Underwriters, to make it impracticable or
inadvisable to market the Shares. If you or Dillon Read, acting on your behalf,
or any such group of Underwriters elects to terminate this Agreement as provided
in this Section 9, the Company, the Representatives of the Selling Shareholders
<PAGE>   33
                                   -32-


and each other Underwriter shall be notified promptly in accordance with
Section 12 hereof.

            (c) If the sale to the Underwriters of the Shares, as contemplated
by this Agreement, is not carried out by the Underwriters for any reason
permitted under this Agreement or if such sale is not carried out because the
Company or the Selling Shareholders, as the case may be, shall be unable to
comply with any of the terms of this Agreement, the Company or the Selling
Shareholders, as the case may be, shall not be under any obligation or liability
under this Agreement (except to the extent provided in Sections 5(p), 7 and 11
hereof), and the Underwriters shall be under no obligation or liability to the
Company and the Selling Shareholders under this Agreement (except to the extent
provided in Section 11 hereof) or to one another hereunder.

            10. Increase in Underwriters' Commitments. If any Underwriter shall
default in its obligation to take up and pay for the Firm Shares to be purchased
by it hereunder and if the number of Firm Shares which all Underwriters so
defaulting shall have agreed but failed to take up and pay for does not exceed
10% of the total number of Firm Shares, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall
take up and pay for (in addition to the aggregate principal amount of Firm
Shares they are obligated to purchase pursuant to Section 1 hereof) the number
of Firm Shares agreed to be purchased by all such defaulting Underwriters, as
hereinafter provided. Such Shares shall be taken up and paid for by such
non-defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters in such amount or amounts as you may
designate with the consent of each Underwriter so designated or, in the event no
such designation is made, such Shares shall be taken up and paid for by all
non-defaulting Underwriters pro rata in proportion to the aggregate number of
Firm Shares set opposite the names of such non-defaulting Underwriters in
Schedule A.

            If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to take up and
pay for the Firm Shares to be purchased by it hereunder and if the number of
Firm Shares which all Underwriters so defaulting shall have agreed but failed to
take up and pay for exceeds 10% of the total number of Firm Shares, and
arrangements satisfactory to you and the Company are not made within 48 hours
after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part
of any non-defaulting Underwriter.
<PAGE>   34
                                   -33-


            Without relieving any defaulting Underwriter from its obligations
hereunder, the Company and the Selling Shareholders agree with the
non-defaulting Underwriters that they will not sell any Firm Shares hereunder
unless all of the Firm Shares are purchased by the Underwriters (or by
substituted Underwriters selected by you with the approval of the Company or
selected by the Company with your approval).

            If a new Underwriter or Underwriters are substituted by the
Underwriters or by the Company for a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters in
accordance with the foregoing provision, the Company or you shall have the right
to postpone the time of purchase for a period not exceeding five business days
in order that any necessary changes in the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus and other documents may be effected.

            The term Underwriter as used in this agreement shall refer to and
include any Underwriter substituted under this Section 10 with like effect as if
such substituted Underwriter had originally been named in Schedule A.

            11. Indemnity by the Company, the Selling Shareholders, O'Gara and
the Underwriters. (a) The Company, the Selling Shareholders and O'Gara, jointly
and severally, agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Underwriter and
any person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and their respective agents,
representatives, employees, officers, partners and directors (collectively, the
"Underwriter indemnified parties"), from and against any loss, expense, damage,
judgment, liability or claim (including the costs of investigating, defending or
settling such matters and fees and expenses of counsel in connection therewith)
as they are incurred (and regardless of whether the Underwriter indemnified
party is a party to the litigation, if any) which, jointly or severally, any
such Underwriter indemnified party may incur under the Act, the Exchange Act or
otherwise insofar as such loss, expense, damage, judgment, liability or claim
arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or in the
Registration Statement as amended by any post-effective amendment thereof by the
Company) or in a Prospectus (the term Prospectus for the purpose of this Section
11 being deemed to include any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus and the
Prospectus as amended or supplemented by the Company), or arises out of or is
based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to
be stated in either such
<PAGE>   35
                                   -34-


Registration Statement or Prospectus or necessary to make the statements made
therein, not misleading, except insofar as any such loss, expense, liability or
claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in and in conformity with information
furnished in writing by any Underwriter through you to the Company expressly for
use in such Registration Statement or such Prospectus or arises out of or is
based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in
connection with such information required to be stated in either such
Registration Statement or Prospectus or necessary to make such information not
misleading; provided, however, that no Selling Shareholder or O'Gara shall be
liable under this Section 11 (or as a result of any breach of this Agreement
other than as a result of bad faith) in an amount exceeding the total price at
which the Shares sold by such Selling Shareholder were offered to the public or
an amount exceeding the proceeds of the Offering received by O'Gara
respectively. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability the
Company or the Selling Shareholders otherwise may have.

            If any action or proceeding (including any governmental or
regulatory investigation or proceeding) is brought or asserted against any
Underwriter indemnified party in respect of which indemnity may be sought
against the Company or any Selling Shareholder pursuant to the foregoing
paragraph, such Underwriter indemnified party shall promptly notify the Company
and the Representatives of the Selling Shareholders in writing of the
institution of such action and the Company or such Selling Shareholder, as the
case may be, shall assume the defense of such action or proceeding, including
the employment of counsel satisfactory to the Underwriter indemnified party and
payment of all fees and expenses; provided that the omission to so notify the
Company or any Selling Shareholder shall not in any way relieve the Company from
any liability it may have to an Underwriter indemnified party except to the
extent that the Company shall have been materially and adversely prejudiced by
such failure to give notice. An Underwriter indemnified party shall have the
right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and
expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Underwriter indemnified
party or of such controlling person unless the employment of such counsel shall
have been authorized in writing by the Company or such Selling Shareholder in
connection with the defense of such action or the Company or such Selling
Shareholder shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense of
such action within a reasonable period of time or such Underwriter indemnified
party

                                   -35-


or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more
defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those
available to the Company or such Selling Shareholder (in which case the Company
or such Selling Shareholder shall not have the right to direct the defense of
such action on behalf of the Underwriter indemnified party or parties), in any
of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the Company or such
Selling Shareholder, as the case may be, and paid as incurred (it being
understood, however, that the Company or such Selling Shareholder shall not be
liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel in any one action or
series of related actions in the same jurisdiction representing the Underwriter
indemnified parties who are parties to such action, which counsel shall be
designated by Dillon Read). Anything in this paragraph to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Company or such Selling Shareholder shall not be liable for
any settlement of any such claim or action effected without its written consent
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless the Company
or the Selling Shareholder, as the case may be, shall be in breach of its
obligations to pay fees and expenses pursuant to this Agreement, but if settled
with the written consent of the Company or the Selling Shareholder, as the case
may be, or if there is a final judgment with respect thereto, the Company and
each Selling Shareholder jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold
harmless each Underwriter indemnified party from and against any loss or
liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

            (b) Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless the Company, its directors and officers, each Selling Shareholder and
any person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act
or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any loss, expense, damage,
judgment, liability or claim (including the costs of investigating, defending or
settling such matters and fees and expenses of counsel in connection therewith)
which, jointly or severally, the Company, any Selling Shareholder or any such
person may incur under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such
loss, expense, damage, judgment, liability or claim arises out of or is based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in and in conformity with information furnished in writing by or on
behalf of such Underwriter through you to the Company expressly for use with
reference to such Underwriter in the Registration Statement (or in the
Registration Statement as amended by any post-effective amendment thereof by the
Company) or in a
<PAGE>   37
                                   -36-


Prospectus, or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission
to state a material fact in connection with such information required to be
stated either in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or necessary to make
such information not misleading.

            If any action or proceeding is brought or asserted against the
Company, any Selling Shareholder or any such person in respect of which
indemnity may be sought against any Underwriter pursuant to the foregoing
paragraph, the Company, such Selling Shareholder or such person shall promptly
notify such Underwriter in writing of the institution of such action and such
Underwriter shall assume the defense of such action, including the employment of
counsel satisfactory to the Company, such Selling Shareholder or such person and
payment of expenses provided that the omission to so notify the Underwriter
shall not in any way relieve the Underwriter from any liability they may have to
the Company, such Selling Shareholder or such person, except to the extent that
such Underwriter shall have been materially and adversely prejudiced by such
failure to give notice. The Company, such Selling Shareholder or such person
shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the fees
and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Company, such
Selling Shareholder or such person unless the employment of such counsel shall
have been authorized in writing by such Underwriter in connection with the
defense of such action or such Underwriter shall not have employed counsel to
have charge of the defense of such action or such indemnified party or parties
shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or
them which are different from or additional to those available to such
Underwriter (in which case such Underwriter shall not have the right to direct
the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in
any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by such Underwriter
and paid as incurred (it being understood, however, that such Underwriter shall
not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel in any one
action or series of related actions in the same jurisdiction representing the
indemnified parties who are parties to such action). Anything in this paragraph
to the contrary notwithstanding, no Underwriter shall be liable for any
settlement of any such claim or action effected without the written consent of
such Underwriter (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed)
unless the Company or the Selling Shareholder, as the case may be, shall be in
breach of its obligations to pay fees and expenses pursuant to this Agreement,
but if settled
<PAGE>   38
                                   -37-


with the written consent of the Company or the Selling Shareholder, as the case
may be, or if there is a final judgment with respect thereto, the Company and
each Selling Shareholder (subject to the limitation set forth _____ in this
Agreement) jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless each
Underwriter indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason
of such settlement or judgment.

            (c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 11 is
unavailable to an indemnified party under subsections (a) and (b) of this
Section 11 in respect of any losses, expenses, damages, judgments, liabilities
or claims referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu
of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, expenses,
liabilities or claims (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative benefits received by the Company, the Selling Shareholders and O'Gara
on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the
Shares 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, the Selling Shareholders and O'Gara on the one hand and of the
Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which
resulted in such losses, expenses, damages, judgments, liabilities or claims, as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits
received by the Company, the Selling Shareholders and O'Gara on the one hand and
the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as
the total proceeds from the offering (net of underwriting discounts and
commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Company and O'Gara
the Selling Shareholders and O'Gara bear to the total underwriting discounts and
commissions received by the Underwriters. The relative fault of the Company, the
Selling Shareholders and O'Gara on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the
other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or
alleged omission relates to information supplied by the Company, by the Selling
Shareholders, by O'Gara or by the Underwriters and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the
losses, expenses, damages, judgments, liabilities and claims referred to above
shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or
<PAGE>   39
                                   -38-


expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or
defending any claim or action.

            (d) The Company, the Selling Shareholders, O'Gara and the
Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
pursuant to this Section 11 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the
Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method
of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations
referred to in subsection (c) above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 11 (or as a result of any breach of this Agreement other than as a
result of bad faith), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount
in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares
underwritten by such Underwriter and distributed to the public were offered to
the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has
otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Selling Shareholder or
O'Gara shall be liable under this Section 11 (or as a result of any breach of
this Agreement other than as a result of bad faith) in an amount exceeding the
total price at which the Shares sold by such Selling Shareholder were offered to
the public or an amount exceeding the proceeds of the Offering received by
O'Gara, respectively. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within
the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from
any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The
Underwriter's obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 11 are several
in proportion to their respective underwriting commitments and not joint.

            (e) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this
Section 11 and the covenants, warranties and representations of the Company, the
Selling Shareholders and O'Gara contained in this Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any
Underwriter indemnified party, or by or on behalf of the Company, its directors
and officers, any Selling Shareholder, O'Gara or any person who controls the
Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the
issuance and delivery of the Shares. Subject to its limitation on amounts to be
paid by Selling Shareholders as set forth in Sections 11(a) and 11(d), the
indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 11 are in
addition to any other remedies that the parties hereto may have in equity or at
law.
<PAGE>   40
                                   -39-


The Company, each Selling Shareholder, O'Gara and each Underwriter agree
promptly to notify the others of the commencement of any litigation or
proceeding against it and, in the case of the Company, against any of the
Company's officers and directors in connection with the issuance and sale of the
Shares, or in connection with the Registration Statement or Prospectus.

            12.   Notices.  Except as otherwise herein provided, all
statements, requests, notices and agreements shall be in writing or by
facsimile and, if to the Underwriters, shall be sufficient in all respects
if delivered or sent to Dillon, Read & Co. Inc., 535 Madison Avenue, New
York, N.Y. 10022, Attention:  Syndicate Department, if to the Company, the
Selling Shareholders or O'Gara, shall be sufficient in all respects if

of the Company at 9113 Le Saint Drive, Fairfield, OH 45014, Attention:
[               ] and, if to any of the Selling Shareholders, shall be
sufficient in all respects if delivered or sent to the Representatives of
the Selling Shareholders at ______________, Attention: [               ].

            13.   CONSTRUCTION.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT
REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW.  THE SECTION HEADINGS IN THIS
AGREEMENT HAVE BEEN INSERTED AS A MATTER OF CONVENIENCE OF REFERENCE AND
ARE NOT A PART OF THIS AGREEMENT.

            14. Parties at Interest. The Agreement herein set forth has been and
is made solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and the Company and the
Underwriter indemnified parties and the Company, the Selling Shareholder, O'Gara
and such other person referred to in Section 11 hereof, and their respective
successors, assigns, executors and administrators. No other person, partnership,
association or corporation (including a purchaser, as such purchaser, from any
of the Underwriters) shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this
Agreement.

            15.   Counterparts.  This Agreement may be signed by the
parties in counterparts which together shall constitute one and the same
agreement among the parties.

                               THE O'GARA COMPANY


         FIRST. The name of the corporation is THE O'GARA COMPANY (the
"Corporation").

         SECOND. The place in the State of Ohio where the Corporation's
principal office is to be located is the City of Fairfield in Butler County,
Ohio.

         THIRD. The purpose for which the Corporation is organized shall be to
engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be formed under
the Ohio General Corporation Law, Ohio Revised Code Sections 1701.01 et seq.

         FOURTH. The aggregate number of shares of stock which the Corporation
shall have authority to issue is Twenty-Five Million One Hundred Thousand
(25,100,000) shares, which shall be divided into two classes, consisting of:

         (a) Twenty-Five Million (25,000,000) shares of common stock ("Common
Stock") with a par value of $.01 per share.

         (b) One Hundred Thousand (100,000) shares of preferred stock
("Preferred Stock") with a par value of $.01 per share; and,


                             PART ONE: COMMON STOCK

         The shares of Common Stock may be issued at any time or from time to
time for such amount of lawful consideration as may be fixed by the Board of
Directors. Each holder of Common Stock shall be entitled to one (1) vote for
each share of Common Stock held by such holder.


                            PART TWO: PREFERRED STOCK

         Clause 1. Except as otherwise provided by this Article Fourth or by the
amendment or amendments adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the
issue of any series of Preferred Stock, the Preferred Stock may be issued at any
time or from time to time in any amount, not exceeding in the aggregate,
including all shares of any and all series thereof theretofore issued, the One
Hundred Thousand (100,000) shares of Preferred Stock hereinabove authorized, as
Preferred Stock of one or more series, as hereinafter provided, and for such
lawful consideration as shall be fixed from time to time by the Board of
Directors.
<PAGE>   2
         Clause 2. Authority is hereby expressly granted to the Board of
Directors from time to time to adopt amendments to these Articles of
Incorporation providing for the issue in one or more series of any unissued or
treasury shares of the Preferred Stock, and providing, to the fullest extent now
or hereafter permitted by the laws of the State of Ohio and notwithstanding the
provisions of any other Article of these Articles of Incorporation of the
Corporation, in respect of the matters set forth in the following subdivisions
(i) to (ix), inclusive, as well as any other rights or matters pertaining to
such series:

         (i) The designation and number of shares of such series;

         (ii) Voting rights (to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by
the laws of the State of Ohio);

         (iii) The dividend rate or rates of such series (which may be a
variable rate and which may be cumulative);

         (iv) The dividend payment date or dates of such series;

         (v) Redemption rights (to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted
by the laws of the State of Ohio), including the price or prices at which shares
of such series may be redeemed;

         (vi) The amount of the sinking fund, if any, to be applied to the
purchase or redemption of shares of such series and the manner of its
application;

         (vii) The liquidation price or prices of such series;

         (viii) Whether or not the shares of such series shall be made
convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or classes or
of any other series of the same class of stock of the Corporation or any other
property, and if made so convertible or exchangeable, the conversion price or
prices, or the rates of exchange at which such conversion or exchange may be
made and the adjustments thereto, if any; and,

         (ix) Whether or not the issue of any additional shares of such series
or any future series in addition to such series shall be subject to any
restrictions and, if so, the nature of such restrictions.

Any of the voting rights, dividend rate or rates, dividend payment date or
dates, redemption rights and price or prices, sinking fund requirements,
liquidation price or prices, conversion or exchange rights and restrictions on
issuance of shares of any such series of Preferred Stock may, to the fullest

                                      - 2 -
<PAGE>   3
extent now or hereafter permitted by the laws of the State of Ohio, be made
dependent upon facts ascertainable outside these Articles of Incorporation or
outside the amendment or amendments providing for the issue of such Preferred
Stock adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to authority expressly vested
in it by this Article Fourth. If the then-applicable laws of the State of Ohio
do not permit the Board of Directors to fix, by the amendment creating a series
of Preferred Stock, the voting rights of shares of such series, each holder of a
share of such series of Preferred Stock shall, except as may be otherwise
provided by law, be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of Preferred Stock
of such series held by such holder.

         Clause 3. Before any dividends shall be declared or paid upon or set
apart for, or distribution made on, the Common Stock and before any sum shall be
paid or set apart for the purchase or redemption of Preferred Stock of any
series or for the purchase of the Common Stock, the holders of Preferred Stock
of each series shall be entitled to receive accrued dividends declared by the
Board of Directors, payable at the rate or rates fixed for such series in
accordance with the provisions of this Article Fourth, and no more, from the
dividend payment date thereof, or preceding dividend payment date or dates fixed
from time to time by the Board of Directors.

         Clause 4. If upon any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the
Corporation or reduction of its capital stock, the assets so to be distributed
among the holders of the Preferred Stock pursuant to the provisions of this
Article Fourth or of the amendment or amendments providing for the issue of such
Preferred Stock adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to authority
expressly vested in it by this Article Fourth shall be insufficient to permit
the payment to such holders of the full preferential amounts aforesaid, then the
entire assets of the Corporation shall be distributed ratably among the holders
of the Preferred Stock in proportion to the full preferential amounts to which
they are respectively entitled as aforesaid.

         Clause 5. The term "accrued dividends", whenever used herein with
respect to the Preferred Stock of any series, shall be deemed to mean that
amount which would have been paid as dividends declared on the Preferred Stock
of such series to date had full dividends been paid thereon at the rate fixed
for such series in accordance with the provisions of this Article Fourth, less
in each case the amount of all dividends declared paid upon the shares of such
series.

         FIFTH. The Corporation shall have the right to amend, alter, change or
repeal any provision contained in these Articles of Incorporation or any
provision that may be added or inserted in these Articles of Incorporation,
provided that:


                                      - 3 -
<PAGE>   4
         (a) Such amendment, alteration, change, repeal, addition or insertion
is consistent with law and is accomplished in the manner now or hereafter
prescribed by statute or these Articles; and

         (b) Any provision of these Articles of Incorporation which requires, or
the change of which requires, the vote or consent of all or a specific number or
percentage of the holders of shares of any class or series shall not be amended,
altered, changed or repealed by any lesser amount, number or percentage of votes
or consents of such class or series.

Any rights at any time conferred upon the shareholders of the Corporation are
granted subject to the provisions of this Article.

         SIXTH. Subject to the provisions of Article Fifth hereof, the
affirmative vote of shareholders entitled to exercise a majority of the voting
power of the Corporation shall be required to amend these Articles of
Incorporation, approve mergers and to take any other action which by law must be
approved by a specified percentage of the voting power of the Corporation or of
all outstanding shares entitled to vote.

         SEVENTH. No holder of any shares of the Corporation shall have any
preemptive rights to subscribe for or to purchase any shares of the Corporation
of any class, whether such shares or such class be now or hereafter authorized,
or to purchase or subscribe for any security convertible into, or exchangeable
for, shares of any class or to which shall be attached or appertained any
warrants or rights entitling the holder thereof to purchase or subscribe for
shares of any class.

         EIGHTH. Subject to the provisions of Article Fourth hereof, the
Corporation, through its Board of Directors, shall have the right and power to
purchase any of its outstanding shares at such price and upon such terms as may
be agreed upon between the Corporation and any selling shareholder.

         NINTH. No shareholder shall have the right to vote cumulatively in the
election of directors.

         accordance with the foregoing procedure, and if he should so determine,
         he shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination shall
         be disregarded.

                  2.2 NUMBER. The number of Directors, which shall not be less
         than the lesser of three or the number of shareholders of record, may

         number of Directors may be fixed or changed by action of the Directors
         at any meeting of Directors at which a quorum is present by a majority
         vote of the Directors present at the meeting. The Directors then in
         office may fill any Director's office that is created by an increase in
         the number of Directors. The number of Directors elected shall be
         deemed to be the number of Directors fixed unless otherwise fixed by
         resolution adopted at the meeting at which such Directors are elected.

         office or death. Directors shall be subject to removal as provided by
         statute or by other lawful procedures and nothing herein shall be
         construed to prevent the removal of any or all Directors in accordance
         therewith.

                  3.2 RESIGNATION. A resignation from the Board of Directors

         resigning Director, unless some other time is specified therein.

                  6.3 COMMITTEE ACTION. Unless otherwise provided by the Board
         of Directors, a majority of the members of any committee appointed by
         the Board of Directors pursuant to this Section shall constitute a
         quorum at any meeting thereof and the act of a majority of the members

financial or personal interest, or for the reason that one or more interested
Directors participate in or vote at the meeting of the Directors or committee
thereof that authorizes such contract, action or transaction, if in any such

         committee, in good faith, reasonably justified by such facts, authorize

                  (ii) the material facts as to the Director's relationship or
         interest and as to the contract, action or transaction are disclosed or

         the holders of shares entitling them to exercise a majority of the
         voting power of the Corporation held by persons not interested in the
         contract, action or transaction; or

                  (iii) the contract, action or transaction is fair as to the
         Corporation as of the time it is authorized or approved by the
         Directors, a committee thereof or the shareholders.

                                   ARTICLE III

           -----------------

         All officers, as between themselves and the Corporation, shall
respectively have such authority and perform such duties as are customarily
incident to their respective offices, and as may be specified from time to time
by the Board of Directors regardless of whether such authority and duties are
customarily incident to such office. In the absence of any officer of the
Corporation, or for any other reason the Board of Directors may deem sufficient,

                                   ARTICLE IV

                                 Indemnification
                                 ---------------

Section 1. Right to Indemnification.
           ------------------------

         Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a
party to or is otherwise involved (including, without limitation, as a witness)
in any actual or threatened action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative, or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by
reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the
Corporation or that, being or having been such a director or officer of the
Corporation, such person is or was serving at the request of an executive
officer of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, employee, or agent
of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, limited
liability company,

                                      - 8 -


<PAGE>   9



or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan
(hereinafter an "indemnitee"), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged
action in an official capacity as such a director, officer, partner, employee,
or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the
fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of Ohio, as the same
exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only
to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader
indemnification rights than permitted prior thereto), or by other applicable law
as then in effect, against all expense, liability, and loss (including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees, costs of investigation, judgments, fines, excise
taxes or penalties arising under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974 ("ERISA") or other federal or state acts) actually incurred or suffered by
such indemnitee in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue
as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent
and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee's heirs, executors, and
administrators. Except as provided in Section 2 with respect to proceedings
seeking to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify
any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated
by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or
ratified by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

         The right to indemnification conferred in this Section 1 shall be a
contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the
expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final
disposition (hereinafter an "advancement of expenses"). An advancement of
expenses incurred by an indemnitee in such person's capacity as a director,
officer or employee (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is
rendered by such indemnitee including, without limitation, service to an
employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an
undertaking, by or on behalf of such indemnitee to repay all amounts so advanced
if it is proved by clear and convincing evidence in a court of competent
jurisdiction that such indemnitee's omission or failure to act involved an act
or omission undertaken with deliberate intent to cause injury to the Corporation
or undertaken with reckless disregard for the best interests of the Corporation.
An advancement of expenses shall not be made if the Corporation's Board of
Directors makes a good faith determination that such payment would violate
applicable law or public policy.

Section 2. Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit.
           ---------------------------------

         If a claim under Section 1 is not paid in full by the Corporation
within sixty days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation,
except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the
applicable period shall be twenty days, the indemnitee may at any time
thereafter

                                      - 9 -


<PAGE>   10



bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If
successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the
Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an
undertaking, the indemnitee shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of
prosecuting or defending such suit. The indemnitee shall be presumed to be
entitled to indemnification under this Article IV upon submission of a written
claim (and, in an action brought to enforce a claim for an advancement of
expenses, where the required undertaking has been tendered to the Corporation),
and thereafter the Corporation shall have the burden of proof to overcome the
presumption that the indemnitee is not so entitled. 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
suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances, nor
an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors,
independent legal counsel or its shareholders) that the indemnitee is not
entitled to indemnification shall be a defense to the suit or create a
presumption that the indemnitee is not so entitled.

Section 3. Nonexclusivity and Survival of Rights.
           -------------------------------------

         The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses
conferred in this Article IV shall not be exclusive of any other right which any
person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provisions of the
Articles of Incorporation, Code of Regulations, agreement, vote of shareholders
or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

         Notwithstanding any amendment to or repeal of this Article IV, or of

provisions hereof and thereof with respect to any acts or omissions of such
indemnitee occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.

         Without limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the rights
to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Article
IV shall, notwithstanding any amendment to or repeal of this Article IV, inure
to the benefit of any person who otherwise may be entitled to be indemnified
pursuant to this Article IV (or the estate or personal representative of such

         The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect
itself and any director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation or
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise
against any expense, liability, or loss, whether or not the Corporation would
have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability, or loss
under the General Corporation Law of Ohio. The Corporation may enter into
contracts with any indemnitee in furtherance of the provisions of this Article
IV and may create a trust fund, grant a security interest, or use other means
(including, without limitation, a letter of credit) to ensure the payment of
such amounts as may be necessary to effect indemnification as provided in this

of its directors is held by the Corporation or a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Corporation, or (ii) in an executive or management capacity in a partnership
joint venture, trust, limited liability company or other enterprise of which the
Corporation or a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation is a general partner
or member or has a majority ownership shall be deemed to be so serving at the
request of an executive officer of the Corporation and entitled to
indemnification and advancement of expenses under Section 1.

Section 6. Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation.
           ----------------------------------------------------------

         The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, authorize one
or more executive officers to grant rights to advancement of expenses to
employees or agents of the Corporation on such terms and conditions no less
stringent than provided in Section 1 hereof as such officer or officers deem
appropriate under the circumstances. The Corporation may, by action of its Board
of Directors, grant rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses to
employees or agents or groups of employees or agents of the Corporation with the
same scope and effect as the provisions of this Article IV with respect to the
indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the
Corporation; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that an undertaking shall be made by an employee
or agent only if required by the Board of Directors.

E-5      SPECIAL TESTING REQUIREMENTS FOR CHEMICAL AGENT RESISTANT COATINGS
         (CARC) ON METALLIC SURFACES
         TACOM                                                        (MAY 1989)

         a) Application:    MIL-C-46168
                            MIL-C-53039

         (b) End-Item Paint Inspection: After the complete paint finish has been
applied and cured* (See *Note, below), the Contractor shall test and inspect two
units per lot for (i) workmanship, (ii) total paint film thickness, and (iii)
paint adhesion. Unless otherwise agreed to between the Contractor and the
cognizant Government quality assurance representative, a lot shall be defined as
all units submitted for final Government acceptance at one time. The use of test
panels in lieu of actual production units is prohibited. At final inspection,
the cumulative total paint film thickness of pretreatment, primer, and topcoat
shall at a minimum conform to the sum of the minimum thicknesses for individual
elements of the paint finish as specified in Table I herein. Sufficient
locations shall be spot-checked to ensure proper workmanship and paint thickness
uniformity. The size and configuration of the unit as well as the number of
vendors responsible for the paint finish of component parts shall be taken into
consideration in determining the number of locations to be checked. The specific
number of test locations shall be agreed to by the cognizant Government quality
assurance representative in advance. In addition, two locations on each sample
unit shall be selected to conduct the scribe tape test. The test locations shall
be routinely varied among the following:

                  1.     Directly adjacent to a weld

                  2.     On or directly adjacent to a machine cut or sheared 
                         edge.

                  3.     On any mechanically formed surface when 
                         lubricants/drawing compounds were used.

                  4.     On paint touch-up areas.

         (c) The precise location for each scribe tape test shall be in an
inconspicuous location that has been accepted by the cognizant Government
quality assurance representative before the test is conducted.

         (d) Upon completion of the scribe tape test, the scribe marks shall be
feathered into the adjacent area and touched up with the required top coat so
that the tested area again conforms to the applicable minimum specified in Table
I herein.

*Note: The complete paint finish is defined as the pretreatment, primer, and
topcoat applied to the substrate. Curing of the complete paint finish is
dependent upon temperature, humidity, and paint film thickness. The time
necessary to achieve sufficient adhesion to pass the scribe tape test must be
determined by each facility. For purposes of this test, curing at ambient
temperature will take from 24 to 168 hours.

Name of Offeror or Contractor    O GARA-HESS AND EISENHARDT ARMORING

         (e)      Test Methods:

                  1. Film Thickness. Film thickness shall be verified with a
nondestructive film gage. The gage shall be suitable for measurements over the
applicable substrate material and shall have sufficient accuracy to ensure
compliance to the thickness limitations. The gage shall be capable of being
calibrated. If no other calibration specification or requirement is identified
elsewhere in this contract, then the gage shall be calibrated in accordance with
MIL-STD-45662.

                  2. Scribe Tape Test. The following test procedure shall be
followed. The test surface shall be sufficiently warm and dry to ensure adhesion
of the tape. All dimensions cited in this Scribe Tape Test description are
approximate:

                     (a) Scribe four one-inch lines completely through the paint
finish to the substrate, one sixteenth to three thirty-seconds of an inch apart.

                     (b) Scribe four additional one-inch lines, completely
through the paint finish, one sixteenth to three thirty-seconds of an inch
apart, rotated 90 degrees with respect to the first set of lines. The resulting
pattern shall contain nine squares.

                     (c) Press a length of A-A-1830, A-A-884, or any
commercially available tape with a minimum adhesion rating of 45 oz. per inch of
width firmly over the scribed pattern, rubbing out all air pockets.

                     (d) Wait 10 seconds, minimum. Grasp a free end of the tape
and at a rapid speed strip it from the paint surface by pulling the tape back
upon itself at 180 degrees.

         (f)      Interpretation of Test Results

                  1. Film Thickness. All applicable surfaces shall have complete
paint coverage. A minimum of 75% of the applicable surfaces of each test unit
shall meet the minimum, cumulative dry film thickness requirements. Failure of
either test unit shall result in rejection of the production lot that it
represents.

                  2. Scribe Tape Test (Adhesion). The removal of two or more
complete squares of top coat, or top coat-primer-pretreatment coating, from
either test unit constitutes test failure and the production lot from which it
comes is rejected. Removal of overspray does not constitute test failure.

                  (2) Contamination of the surface between coatings.

                  (3) Excessive paint film thickness in a single coating
                      application.

                  (4) Application of a coating over a previous coating which has
                      not been adequately cured.

It is strongly recommended that the Contractor implement rigid in-process
controls in conjunction with the best industrial painting practices to ensure
that the performance requirements specified in this clause are met.

              (b) If the proposed program termination or reduction is likely to
result in plant closure or mass layoff, the notice provided an employee under
paragraph (a) of this clause shall have the same effect as a notice of
termination to the employee for the purpose of determining whether such employee
is eligible for training, adjustment assistance, and employee services under
section 325 or 325A of the Job Training Partnership Act. If the Contractor has
specified that the proposed program termination or reduction is not likely to
result in plant closure or mass layoff, the employee shall only be eligible to
receive services under section 314(b) and paragraphs (1) through (14), (16), and

eligible for training, adjustment assistance, and employment services under

the case may be, beginning on the date the employee receives such notice.

              (a) Any proposal submitted for the negotiation of prices for items
of supplies shall distribute costs within contracts on a basis that ensures that
unit prices are in proportion to the items' base cost (e.g., manufacturing or
acquisition costs). Any method of distributing costs to line items that distorts
unit prices shall not be used. For example, distributing costs equally among
line items is not acceptable except when there is little or no variation in base
cost. Nothing in this paragraph requires submission of cost or pricing data not
otherwise required by law or regulation.

              (b) The requirement in paragraph (a) of this clause does not apply
to any Department of Defense (DoD) and National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) contract or subcontract item of supply for which the unit
price is, or is based on, an established catalog or market price for a
commercial item sold in substantial quantities to the general public. A price is
based on a catalog or market price only if the item being purchased is
sufficiently similar to the catalog or market price commercial item to ensure
that any difference in price can be identified and justified without resort to
cost analysis.

              (c) The Offeror/Contractor shall also identify those supplies
which it will not manufacture or to which it will not contribute significant
value. This information is not required for commercial item s sold in
substantial quantities to the general public when the price is, or is based on,
established catalog or market prices.

              (d) The Contractor shall insert the substance of this clause, less
paragraph (c), in all subcontracts.

prime contract.

                  (6)      Supplies means all property, except land and 
interests in land, that is clearly identifiable for eventual use by or owned by
the DoD at the time of transportation by sea.

                           (i)      An item is clearly identifiable for eventual
use by the DoD if, for example, the contract documentation contains a reference
to a DoD contract number or a military destination.

                           (ii)     Supplies includes (but is not limited to) 
public works; buildings and facilities; ships; floating equipment and vessels of
every character, type, and description, with parts, subassemblies, accessories,
and equipment; machine tools; material; equipment; stores of all kinds; end
items; construction materials; and components of the foregoing.

or belonging to the United States, including any vessel registered or having
national status under the laws of the United States.

         (b)      The Contractor shall employ U.S.-flag vessels in the 
transportation by sea of any supplies to be furnished in the performance of this
contract. The Contractor and its subcontractors may request that the Contracting
Officer authorize shipment in foreign-flag vessels, or designate available
U.S.-flag vessels, if the Contractor or a subcontractor believes that--

                  (1)      U.S.-flag vessels are not available for timely 
shipment;

                  (2)      The freight charges are not inordinately excessive or

         (c)      The Contractor must submit any request for use of other than
U.S.-flag vessels in writing to the Contracting Officer at least 45 days prior
to the sailing date necessary to meet its delivery schedules. The Contracting
Officer will process requests submitted after such date(s) as expeditiously as
possible, but the Contracting Officer's failure to grant approvals to meet the
shipper's sailing date will not of itself constitute a compensable delay under
this or any other clause of this contract. Requests shall contain at a minimum--

                  (1)      Type, weight, and cube of cargo;

                  (2)      Required shipping date;

U.S.-flag vessels, including points of contact (with names and telephone
numbers) with at least two U.S.-flag carriers contacted. Copies of telephone
notes, telegraphic and facsimile message or letters will be sufficient for this

         (d)      The Contractor shall, within 30 days after each shipment 
covered by this clause, provide the Contracting Officer and the Division of
National Cargo, Office of Market Development, Maritime Administration, U.S.

of this contract;

                  (2)      Ocean transportation was used and only U.S.-flag

In the event there has been unauthorized use of non-U.S.-flag vessels in the
performance of this contract, the Contracting Officer is entitled to equitably
adjust the contract, based on the unauthorized use.

         (g)      The Contractor shall include this clause, including this 
paragraph (g) in all subcontracts under this contract, which exceed the small
purchase limitation of section 13.000 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation.

solicitation. However, the Government, after evaluation of the disclosure, may
cancel this procurement or take any other appropriate actions in the interests
of the Government, such as disqualification of the Offeror.

         (f) In making the certification in paragraph (2) of the certificate,

may rely upon a one-time certification from each individual required to submit a
certification to the competing contractor, supplemented by periodic training.

individual required to certify begins employment or association with the
contractor. If a contractor decides to rely on a certification executed prior to
the suspension of Section 27 (i.e., prior to December 1, 1989), the Contractor
shall ensure that an individual who has so certified is notified that section 27
has been reinstated. These certifications shall be maintained by the Contractor
for 6 years from the date a certifying employee's employment with the company
ends or, for an agent, representative or consultant, 6 years from the date such
individual ceases to act on behalf of the Contractor.

H.12     OPTION TO INCREASE VEHICLE QUANTITIES

H.12.1 Option Quantities. The Government reserves the right to increase the base
quantity of XM1114 UA-ECV vehicles by an additional quantity not to exceed 50%
of the total base quantity of XM1114 UA-ECV vehicles, or 155. The option
vehicles may be any single model or combination of models, XM1114, XM1115,
and/or XM1116.

H.12.2 Option Period. The Contracting Officer may exercise an option for an
additional quantity of vehicles at any time in one or more increments, but the
right to do so shall expire 180 days prior to the delivery of the last scheduled
production vehicle as shown in Section F of this contract. The Contractor shall
provide notice to the Contracting Officer 30 days before expiration of the
Option Period, or 210 days before the last scheduled delivery.

H.12.3 Unit Prices. The unit price to be paid for vehicles added by exercise of
option shall be the option unit price specified in Section B for XM1114, except
that XM1115 or XM1116 shall be incorporated with a negotiated delta from the
XM1114 option price. In the event that the Government intends to exercise an
option increasing the rate of production, the Government reserves the right to
require the submission of complete cost and pricing data and consideration in
the form of a reduced unit price for the option vehicles due to the economies
and efficiencies associated with increased production rate.

H.12.4 Delivery. The basic contract quantities are scheduled at a constant rate
of production through December 1996. The Government reserves the right to insert
option quantities into the existing delivery schedule and extend the delivery of
contract quantities if a customer requires earlier delivery than can be
accomodated by adding the customer quantities at the end of the existing
contract schedule. It is mutually agreed that the parties intent is to minimize
production rate/delivery rate fluctuations whenever possible. Therefore, the
parties agree to coordinate production and delivery schedules to ensure the best
opportunity to minimize said rate changes.

H.12.5 The U.S. Government may exercise the option under this clause to fulfill
Foreign Military Sales (FMS) commitments undertaken by the U.S. Government on
behalf of a foreign country. At the date of exercise of this option, the U.S.
Government will identify the foreign country for the purpose of negotiation and
equitable price adjustment for any additional cost or profit consideration
attributable to Foreign Military Sales pursuant to and included in DFARS
225.7304 and FAR 15.905-2. Failure to agree to such an equitable adjustment
shall be treated as a dispute within the meaning of the clause of this contract
entitled "DISPUTES".

PROGRAM:                   Up Armor for the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled
                           Vehicle (HMMWV) XM1109


CONTRACT:                  DAAE07-94-C-0406

MODIFICATION:              P00007

1. The purpose of this Modification P00007 is to incorporate into the contract,
Request for Waiver #W20 000, dated 21 December 1994 and to extend the contract

attached hereto and added to the contract at Section C, paragraph C.5. The
waiver addresses the presence of the cracks near the isolator mounts located on
the underside of the roof but they do not pose a vehicle safety or structural
hazard. It covers Vehicle No.'s 010 through 087 and repair on vehicles located
at the contractor's facility has been successfully completed. Page 7b of 37 of
the contract is therefore deleted and the attached new page 7b of 37 is
substituted in lieu thereof.

         b. The contract delivery schedule is extended for thirty (30) days,
from February/95 through March/95. Paragraph F5, titled "Required Delivery
Schedule", page 17 of 37, is hereby deleted from the contract and the attached
new page 17 is substituted in lieu thereof.

2. As a result of the foregoing, the contract price is neither increased or
decreased and all other terms and conditions, except as previously changed,
remain unchanged and are in full force and effect.

H.12     OPTION TO INCREASE VEHICLE QUANTITIES

H.12.1 Option Quantities. The Government reserves the right to increase the base
quantity of XM1114 UA-ECV vehicles by an additional quantity not to exceed 50%
of the total base quantity of XM1114 UA-ECV vehicles, or 155. The option
vehicles may be any single model or combination of models, XM1114, XM1115,
and/or XM1116.

H.12.2 Option Period. The Contracting Officer may exercise an option for an
additional quantity of vehicles at any time in one or more increments, but the
right to do so shall expire 240 days prior to the delivery of the last scheduled
production vehicle as shown in Section F of this contract. The Contractor shall
provide notice to the Contracting Officer 30 days before expiration of the
Option Period, or 270 days before the last scheduled delivery or unless
otherwise agreed to by both parties.

H.12.3 Unit Prices. The unit price to be paid for vehicles added by exercise of
option shall be the option unit price specified in Section B for XM1114, except
that XM1115 or XM1116 shall be incorporated with a negotiated delta from the
XM1114 option price. The option price shall be $86,900 per unit. Failure to
reach agreement on a equitable adjustment for the difference in unit prices for
the MX1115 and XM1116 shall be treated as a dispute within the meaning of the
clause of this contract entitled "DISUTES"

H.12.4 Delivery. The basic contract quantities are scheduled at a constant rate
of production through February 1997. The Government reserves the right to insert
option quantities into the existing delivery schedule and extend the delivery of
contract quantities if a customer requires earlier delivery than can be
accommodated by adding the customer quantities at the end of the existing
contract schedule. It is mutually agreed that the parties intent is to minimize
production rate/delivery rate fluctuations whenever possible. Therefore, the
parties agree to coordinate production and delivery schedules to ensure the best
opportunity to minimize said rate changes.

H.12.5 The U.S. Government may exercise the option under this clause to fulfill
Foreign Military Sales (FMS) commitments undertaken by the U.S. Government on
behalf of a foreign country at the unit price of $86,900 for the XM1114 model
vehicles and at the unit price negotiated for the XM1115 and XM1116 pursuant to
H.12.3 above.

H.13     The Government has recognized $7,948,495.72 in the contract ceiling 
price adjustment, Modification P00013, for material labor, overheads/other
direct charges and lease of all equipment and facilities, not to exceed one
year. This cost was incurred to meet the necessary acceleration of deliveries
reflected in the stated modification. The price adjustment includes the full
lease cost for the facility and equipment for work to be performed under this
contract.

H.13.1 Should the contractor secure additional work at the leased facility,
outside of performing work to meet the needs of the Government under this
acceleration and any other related contracting requirements, a downward
equitable adjustment shall be negotiated to this contract. The contractor shall
provide prompt notification (within 3 working days) to the contracting officer
that additional work is being assigned to that facility. In order to determine
this adjustment, a fully supported proposal, addressing the price reduction due
to this additional work, shall be provided to the Contracting Officer within 30
days of the notification.

H.14     Liquidate Damages Supplies, Service or Research and Development (Apr 
1984) FAR 52.211-11

         (a)    If the Contractor fails to deliver the supplies or perform the
services with the time specified in this contract, or any extension, the
Contractor shall, in place of actual damages, pay the Government as fixed,
agreed, and liquidate damages, for each day of delay the sum of $250.

         (b)    Alternatively, if delivery or performance is so delayed, the
Government may terminate this contract in whole or in part under the
Default-Fixed-Price Supply and Service clause in this contract and in that
event, the Contractor shall be liable for fixed, agreed, and liquidated damages
accruing until the time the Government may reasonably obtain delivery or
performance of similar supplies or services. The liquidated damages shall be in
addition to excess costs under the Termination clause.

         (c)    The contractor shall not be charged with liquidated damages when
the delay in delivery or performance arises out of causes beyond the control and
without the fault or negligence of the Contractor as defined in the
Default-Fixed-Price Supply and Service clause in this contract.

H.15     DEFINITIZATION SCHEDULE                                        page 20a

         (a)    A Firm Fix Price definitive contract modification is 
contemplated. The Contractor agrees to submit a FFP proposal and cost or pricing
data supporting its proposal.

         (b)    The schedule for definitizing the modification is:

                Contractor submission of proposal - 12 MAR 96

                Commencement of Negotiations - 30 MAY 96

                Definitization of contract - 21 JUN 96

         (c)    If agreement on a definitive contract modification to supersede
this ceiling priced modification is not reached by the target date in the
paragraph (b) above, or within any extension of it granted by the Contracting
officer, the Contracting officer may, with the approval of the head of the
contracting activity, determine a reasonable price of fee in accordance with
Subpart 15.8 and Part 31 of the FAR, subject to Contractor appeal as provided in
the Disputes Clause. In any event, the Contractor shall proceed with completion
of the contract, subject to the LIMITATION OF GOVERNMENT LIABILITY Clause.

H.12     OPTION TO INCREASE VEHICLE QUANTITIES

H.12.1   Option Quantities. The Government reserves the right to increase the 
base quantity of XM1114 UA-ECV vehicles by an additional quantity not to exceed
50% of the total base quantity of XM1114 UA-ECV vehicles, or 155. The option
vehicles may be any single model or combination of models, XM1114, XM1115 and/or
XM1116.

H.12.2   Option Period. The Contracting Officer may exercise an option for an
additional quantity of vehicles at any time in one or more increments, but the
right to do so shall expire 120 days prior to the delivery of the * last
scheduled production vehicle as shown in Section F of this contract. The
Contractor shall provide notice to the Contracting Officer 30 days before
expiration of the Option Period, or 150 days before the last scheduled *
delivery or unless otherwise agreed to by both parties.

H.12.3   Unit Prices. The unit price to be paid for vehicles added by exercise 
of option shall be the option unit price specified in Section B for XM1114,
except that XM1115 or XM1116 shall be incorporated with a negotiated delta from
the XM1114 option price. The option price shall be $86,900 per unit. Failure to
reach agreement on a equitable adjustment for the difference in unit prices for
the MX1115 and XM1116 shall be treated as a dispute within the meaning of the
clause of this contract entitled "DISUTES"

H.12.4   Delivery. The basic contract quantities are scheduled at a constant 
rate of production through February 1997. The Government reserves the right to
insert option quantities into the existing delivery schedule and extend the
delivery of contract quantities if a customer requires earlier delivery than can
be accomodated by adding the customer quantities at the end of the existing
contract schedule. It is mutually agreed that the parties intent is to minimize
production rate/delivery rate fluctuations whenever possible. Therefore, the
parties agree to coordinate production and delivery schedules to ensure the best
opportunity to minimize said rate changes.

H.12.5   The U.S. Government may exercise the option under this clause to 
fulfill Foreign Military Sales (FMS) commitments undertaken by the U.S.
Government on behalf of a foreign country at the unit price of $86,900 for the
XM1114 model vehicles and at the unit price negotiated for the XM1115 and XM1116
pursuant to H.12.3 above.

Exhibit A - Legal Description

                                      LEASE


         1. SPACE:

         OLG, LIMITED, an Ohio limited liability company (the "Owner"), whose
address is 9113 LeSaint Drive, Fairfield, Ohio 45014, subject to the terms
hereinafter set forth, does hereby lease to O'GARA-HESS & EISENHARDT ARMORING
COMPANY, a Delaware corporation (the "Tenant"), whose address is 9113 LeSaint
Drive, Fairfield, Ohio 45014, the real property and improvements thereon located
at 4175 Mulhauser Road, Fairfield, Ohio 45014, as more completely described in
Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Property").

         2. TERM:

         A. Initial Term. The Initial Term of this Lease shall commence on March
12, 1996 (the "Commencement Date"), and shall end at 11:59 p.m. on March 31,
1997, unless extended pursuant to the terms hereof or unless sooner terminated
as hereinafter provided.

         B. Renewal Options. Tenant shall have an option to renew the Term of
this Lease. Each option shall be exercisable by written notice to Owner, given
at least one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the time that the Initial Term
or then-current Renewal Term of this Lease, whichever is applicable, would
otherwise have expired. Within thirty (30) days after Tenant notifies Owner of
its intention to exercise each such option, Owner and Tenant shall negotiate the
term of the renewal period and the annual base rent. In the event Owner and
Tenant are unable to reach agreement on the term of the renewal period and the
annual base rent, such option shall terminate and this Lease shall terminate at
the end of the then current Term of the Lease. As used in this Lease, the "Term"
of the Lease means the Initial Term and any applicable Renewal Term(s).

         3. RENT:

         A. Initial Rent. If the Commencement Date is not the first day of a
month, then on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay Owner Interim Base Rent
calculated at the rate of $1,282.19 per day, from such Commencement Date through
and including the last day of such month.

         B. Annual Base Rent. (i) Beginning on the Commencement Date, or if the
Commencement Date is not the first day of a month then on the first day of the
next month, Tenant agrees to pay Owner as base rent ("Annual Base Rent") the sum
of $468,000 per annum, payable without demand or setoff in lawful money of the
United States, in equal monthly installments of $39,000 each, in advance, on the
first day of each month during the Initial Term of this Lease.

         C. Additional Rent: (i) This is a "net lease" (a "carefree lease" for
Owner) and Tenant agrees to pay, as Additional Rent, all real estate taxes and
installments of assessments levied against the Property during the Term hereof
and all other costs or charges arising in connection with the Property,
including, without limitation, all costs of maintenance, repair, replacement and
insurance. Tenant shall make such payments directly to the taxing authority, wi
respect to all such real estate taxes and assessments at least ten (10) days
before the same would become delinquent.



<PAGE>   2
         (ii) If Tenant shall default in performing any of its obligations
hereunder, Owner, at its option, may cure such default and all costs and
expenses of Owner in curing such default or in resisting any third-party claim
(including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) shall constitute Additional
Rent hereunder and shall be due and payable by Tenant within 10 days after
written demand therefor is made by Owner.

         (iii) If any installment of the Annual Base Rent or the Additional
Rent, or any other sum owing by Tenant to Owner under this Lease, is not paid
when due and payable or within 10 days thereafter, at Owner's option, a late
charge of 5% of the amount past due shall be immediately due and payable.

         (iv) If the present method of real estate taxation or assessment should
be changed so that there would be substituted for the whole or any part of the
real estate taxes or assessments now or hereafter imposed on the Property or any
part thereof, a capital tax or other tax imposed on the rent received by Owner
from Tenant, such other tax, to the extent that it is so substituted, shall be
included in determining Owner's real estate tax bill for the relevant years, and
shall be paid by Tenant.

         4. USE AND CARE OF DEMISED PREMISES; ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNITY:

         A. Tenant shall use and occupy the Property only for manufacturing,
warehouse and office purposes and for accessory uses customarily incidental
thereto. Tenant, at its expense, shall comply with all laws, ordinances, rules
and regulations of governmental authorities having jurisdiction, and the rules
and regulations of the National Board of Fire Underwriters (or other body
exercising similar functions) relating to Tenant's use and occupancy of the
Property. Tenant shall comply with all federal, state and local laws and
regulations, including but not limited to the federal laws commonly known as
CERCLA and RCRA and all other environmental laws.

         B. Tenant covenants and agrees:

                  (1) There shall be no Storage, Treatment or Disposal of
Hazardous Substances and no Release, transportation or migration of Hazardous
Substances in, on, onto or from the Property except as may be permitted, allowed

Property.

                  (3) Tenant shall at all times operate its business on and

of human health, welfare and the environment and Tenant shall not utilize,

careful, safe and proper manner, that no nuisance nor any trade or occupation
which is known in insurance as extra or especially hazardous shall be permitted
therein, and that no waste shall be committed or permitted upon the Property.

         D. The Tenant hereby agrees to release, hold harmless, defend and

                                      - 3 -

<PAGE>   4
to keep the Property in good condition. Owner's reasonable determination that
repairs or maintenance are necessary shall be binding on Tenant.

         6. REMODELING AND LIENS:

         A. Tenant shall make no material alterations in or additions or
improvements to the Property without first obtaining the written consent of
Owner, and all alterations, additions and improvements made by Tenant shall
become the absolute property of Owner on the termination of this Lease or the
vacation of the Property by Tenant; provided, that Owner may require Tenant to
remove the same at Tenant's expense and in such event, Tenant shall repair any
resulting damage to the Property.

         B. Any liens filed against the Property in connection with alterations,
renovations, additions or improvements by Tenant or any other liens filed
against the Property by, through or under the Tenant shall be removed by Tenant,
at its expense, within 30 days of filing.

         7. UTILITIES:

         Tenant, at its expense, shall obtain and pay for all necessary or
desired utility and other services for the Property. Owner shall not be liable
for any damages Tenant may suffer because of any unavailability of or
interruption or other deficiency in such services.

         8. INSPECTION:

         Tenant agrees to permit persons authorized by Owner to inspect the
Property at any reasonable time for any proper purpose, including, without
limitation, review of compliance with Tenant's obligations hereunder and
inspection by a prospective purchaser, mortgagee or tenant of the Property.
However, Owner shall have no duty to inspect.

         9. INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE:

         A. Tenant shall defend and indemnify Owner against all expenses,
losses, costs, claims, liability or damages (hereinafter called "Damages")
relating to the Property and accruing during the Term of this Lease including,
without limitation, Damages that may occur or be claimed with respect to any
death, personal injury, or loss or damage of chattels on or about the Property,
whether or not resulting from the Tenant's use, non-use or possession of the
Property, except such Damages as may result from and be caused solely by the
deliberate misconduct or gross negligence of the Owner.

         B. (i) Tenant shall obtain and maintain, at Tenant's sole expense, but
naming the Owner and any mortgagee of the Property as additional insured(s),
comprehensive general liability insurance with bodily injury and property damage
liability coverage in an amount to be reasonably determined, from time to time,
by Owner. Owner's determination of the amount of coverage is for Owner's
benefit, and does not constitute a representation of sufficiency to Tenant or
any third party.

         (ii) Tenant, at its expense, shall also obtain "all risk" casualty
insurance for the improvements on the Property in the amount equal to the
replacement cost of such improvements, naming Owner, Tenant and any mortgagee of
the Property as insureds, as their interests may appear.


                                      - 4 -

<PAGE>   5
         (iii) All such policies of insurance shall be written by responsible
companies of recognized standing authorized to do business in the State of Ohio,
shall be written in standard form and shall provide that the policies shall not
be cancelable except upon 30 days written notice to Owner and any mortgagee of
the Property. Tenant shall deliver to Owner a copy of such policies or insurance
binders acceptable to Owner upon the execution of this Lease, and a copy of any
renewal policy shall be delivered to Owner and to any mortgagee of the Property
at least 15 days prior to the termination date of any expiring policy. Such
policies shall be delivered endorsed "Premiums Paid" by the company or agency
issuing the same or be accompanied by other evidence satisfactory to Owner that
the premiums thereon have been paid. Each mortgagee of the Property shall agree
to disburse, in accordance with its standard construction loan practices,
amounts it receives from fire and extended coverage insurance policies for use
by Tenant in repairing, rebuilding or reconstructing the Property in accordance
with the obligations of Tenant hereunder.

         C. Each party hereto waives, as against the other and its employees and
agents, all liability and rights of subrogation with respect to property damaged
or destroyed by fire or other casualty, to the extent such property is covered
by insurance required hereunder or any other valid and collectible insurance,
even if such loss is caused by negligence of the party released.

         10. PERSONAL PROPERTY; LOSS OF BUSINESS:

         All personal property of every kind and description that may at any
time be in, at or on the Property shall be kept in, at or on the Property at
Tenant's sole risk, or at the risk of those claiming under Tenant. Owner shall
not be liable for, without limitation, any damage to said personal property or
any loss secured by the business or occupation of Tenant however arising,
whether from the bursting, overflowing or leaking of water, sewer or steam
pipes, from the heating, air conditioning or plumbing fixtures, from electric
wires, from gas or odors, or whether caused by another person in the Property or
caused in any other manner whatsoever except such as may result from and be
caused by the deliberate misconduct or gross negligence of the Owner.

         11. DAMAGE BY FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY:

         A. If the Property is so damaged by fire or other casualty that it
cannot reasonably be repaired within 120 days after the casualty, Owner, at its
option, may (1) terminate the Term of this Lease by written notice to Tenant, in
which event rent shall be prorated as of the date of the fire or other casualty,
if Tenant vacates the Property at that time, or up to such date thereafter that
Tenant vacates the Property, or (2) require Tenant to promptly repair and
reconstruct the Property to substantially the same condition, or better, as
existed immediately prior to such casualty loss. For that purpose, Owner shall
make available to Tenant the insurance proceeds, if any, relating to such
casualty loss, but Tenant's obligation to repair and reconstruct is not limited
by the amount of insurance proceeds. Owner may provide for the payment of such
insurance proceeds in a manner which assures Owner of satisfactory, lien-free
completion of such repair or reconstruction.

         B. If the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty but to a lesser
extent than specified in Paragraph A., Tenant shall promptly repair and
reconstruct the Property to substantially the same condition, or better, as
existed immediately prior to such casualty loss. For that purpose, Owner shall
make available to Tenant the insurance proceeds, if any, relating to such
casualty loss, but Tenant's obligation to repair and reconstruct is not limited
by the amount of insurance proceeds. Owner may provide for the payment of such
insurance

                                      - 5 -

<PAGE>   6
proceeds in a manner which assures Owner of satisfactory, lien-free completion
of such repair or construction.

         C. Rent shall not be abated or reduced during any period in which the
Property is being repaired or reconstructed or is otherwise untenantable, except
after any termination of the Lease as provided in Paragraph A.

         12. EMINENT DOMAIN:

         A. If the Property or any part thereof is condemned or appropriated by
any public authority during the Term of this Lease in a manner so as to affect
materially and adversely the use thereof by Tenant, Owner, at its option, may
(1) terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant, in which event such rent
as shall be due from Tenant to Owner to the date of the taking of possession of
the Property by the condemning or appropriating authority, if Tenant wholly
vacates the Property at that time, or up to such date thereafter that Tenant
wholly vacates and ceases to use the Property, shall be paid by Tenant to Owner
at the rate herein provided, or (2) require Tenant to repair and reconstruct the
Property to as nearly as practicable the same condition, or better, as existed
immediately prior to such taking of possession, in which event Owner shall
deliver the proceeds relating to such condemnation or appropriation to Tenant.
(Owner may provide for the payment of such proceeds in a manner which assures
Owner of satisfactory, lien-free completion of such repair or construction.)

         B. If the Property or any part thereof is condemned or appropriated by
any public authority during the Term of this Lease in a manner which does not
materially and adversely affect the use thereof by Tenant, Tenant shall repair
and reconstruct the Property to as nearly as practicable the same condition, or
better, as existed immediately prior to such taking of possession, in which
event Owner shall deliver the proceeds relating to such condemnation or
appropriation loss to Tenant. (Owner may provide for the payment of such
proceeds in a manner which assures Owner of satisfactory, lien-free completion
of such repair or construction.)

         C. As long as the Term of this Lease remains in effect, rent shall not
be abated during or after the period in which the Property is being repaired or
reconstructed. Owner shall be entitled to receive, and except for proceeds to be
delivered to Tenant as provided above, Owner shall retain as its sole property,
all proceeds of any condemnation award for, or relating to, the Property
(including the leasehold created hereby), but Tenant may make a separate claim
against the condemning authority for the value of its trade fixtures and costs
of relocation.

         13. ABANDONMENT:

         Should Tenant abandon the Property, Owner may enter the same, using
such force as may be necessary, and change the locks on the doors, all without
liability to Tenant. Thereafter Owner may use the Property for any desired
purpose, with or without terminating this Lease in accordance with provisions of
this Lease concerning default.

         14. ABANDONED PROPERTY:

         Should Tenant leave any property in the Property after the termination
of this Lease for whatever cause, or after the abandonment of the Property by
Tenant, then at Owner's option, (i) such property shall become the sole property
of Owner without any liability on the part of

                                      - 6 -

<PAGE>   7
Owner to account for the proceeds from the disposition, if any, of the property,
or (ii) Owner may remove and destroy or discard such property, and Tenant shall
reimburse Owner for all expenses incurred in doing so.

         15.  DEFAULT

         A. Should Tenant fail to pay any installment of Annual Base Rent, or
any Additional Rent, or any other sum herein required to be paid to Owner within
10 days after such payment is first due and payable; or should Tenant abandon
the Property before the end of the Term of this Lease; or should Tenant fail to
maintain any required insurance; or should Tenant fail to perform any covenant
or to comply with any condition herein provided to be performed or complied with
by it (other than the payment of money and maintenance of insurance) within 30
days after receipt by Tenant of written notice thereof from Owner (or, in the
event such failure can be removed or corrected, but cannot be removed or
corrected within such 30 day period, in the event Tenant does not commence to
remove or correct such failure with said 30-day period and thereafter diligently
pursue such removal or correction to completion); or should any proceeding in
bankruptcy or under any State or Federal law relating to the relief of debtors
be filed by or against Tenant; or should a receiver be appointed of any of the
property of Tenant so as to directly affect the fulfillment of the obligations
of Tenant hereunder; then and in any such event (herein called a "default")
Owner, at its option, immediately or at any time during the continuation of such
default may (i) terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Property without
terminating this Lease, and thereupon Owner may enter and retake the Property
without further notice or demand and may, without being required to, relet the
Property as agent of Tenant for the balance of the Term and receive the rent
therefor, applying the same first to the payment of expenses of such re-entering
and reletting and then to the payment of all rent due or to become due under the
terms of this Lease, and Tenant shall pay any deficiency, or (ii) declare this
Lease terminated. In retaking possession of the Property, Owner may use such
force as may be necessary so long as the conduct of Owner does not constitute a
breach of peace.

         B. If Tenant is in default hereunder, then, at the option of the Owner,
the Annual Base Rent for the entire remaining Term of this Lease shall become
immediately due and payable (discounted to present value at the time of payment
at an annual rate of 6%) and in case Tenant is declared bankrupt or voluntarily
offers to creditors terms of composition, or in case a receiver is appointed to
take charge of and conduct the affairs of Tenant, or if an order for relief is
granted for or against Tenant, such claim for unpaid installments of rent due
under this Lease shall constitute a debt provable in bankruptcy or receivership.

         C. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Tenant agrees to pay all
reasonable costs and expenses that shall be incurred by Owner, including
attorney's fees, in enforcing this Lease, and Tenant agrees to indemnify Owner
against all such fees and expenses.

         16. CUMULATIVE REMEDIES:

         The remedies to which Owner may resort under this Lease are cumulative
and are not intended to be exclusive of, and Owner shall be entitled to
exercise, any other remedy to which Owner may be entitled by law or in equity.
The failure of Owner to insist in any one or more cases on strict performance of
any provision of this Lease or to exercise any right herein contained shall not
constitute a waiver in the future of such right. Acceptance by Owner of rent or
other payment or acceptance of performance required herein with knowledge of a
breach by Tenant of any provision hereof shall not constitute a waiver of such
breach, nor shall any acceptance of rent or other payment in a lesser amount
than herein provided for

                                      - 7 -

<PAGE>   8
operate or be construed in any other manner other than as a payment on account
of the earliest rent or other charge then unpaid by Tenant.

         17. SUBLEASE OR ASSIGNMENT:

         Tenant shall not assign this Lease or sublet all or any part of the
Property without the prior written consent of Owner, which consent may be
withheld for any reason, and approval by Owner of any such assignment or
subletting shall not relieve Tenant of any obligations hereunder.

         18. SURRENDER:

         Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, Tenant agrees to
surrender to Owner the Property upon the expiration or termination of this
Lease, in as good condition and repair as the same shall be at the commencement
of the Term provided for herein, ordinary wear and tear excepted. No tenancy of
any duration, other than a tenancy at will, shall be created by Tenant's holding
over beyond the end of said Term.

         19. TRADE FIXTURES:

         Not later than the expiration or termination of the Term of this Lease,
Tenant may remove all of the trade fixtures and signs owned by Tenant which can
be removed without injury to or defacement of the Property, provided all rents
have been paid in full and all damage to the Property is promptly repaired.

         20. SUBORDINATION:

         This Lease shall be subordinate to the lien of each and every mortgage
or deed of trust of the Property or any part thereof made by Owner, whether
previously or hereafter made, unless the holder of any such mortgage or deed of
trust elects by recorded instrument that this Lease shall be prior to such
mortgage or deed of trust. Such subordination shall be self-executing and
effective without any further action by Tenant or Owner; provided, that Tenant
shall not be required to subordinate its interest under this Lease to the lien
of any mortgage or deed of trust hereafter made unless the mortgagee shall
execute a Subordination, Attornment and Nondisturbance Agreement which shall
provide in substance that Tenant's possession under this Lease shall not be
disturbed so long as Tenant is not in default of its obligations hereunder and
that Tenant shall attorn to such mortgagee or its successor in interest upon
foreclosure or sale. Tenant agrees, from time to time, immediately upon request
by Owner, promptly to execute such instruments, certificates and tenant estoppel
letters as may be requested by Owner to evidence and confirm such subordination
and promptly to deliver such instruments, certificates and letters to mortgagees
or prospective mortgagees designated by Owner.

         21. COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT:

         Owner covenants that Tenant, having performed its covenants and
obligations herein set forth, shall have quiet and peaceable possession of the
Property on the terms and conditions herein provided, free and clear of any
claim by, from, through or under any person lawfully claiming an interest in the
Property from or through Owner.



                                      - 8 -

<PAGE>   9
         22. BENEFITS:

         The terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of Owner
and Tenant, but no assignment made by Tenant contrary to the provisions of this
Lease shall vest in any assignee any right, title or interest in or to this
Lease or the Property, or any part thereof.

         23. NOTIFICATION:

         Notices required or permitted to be given under this Lease shall be
sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid,
at the addresses first set forth above, or to such other addresses as may be
designated by either party to the other by like mailing.

         24. SEVERABILITY:

         If any clause or provision of this Lease is illegal, invalid or
unenforceable, then it is the intention of the parties that the remainder of
this Lease shall not be affected thereby, and in lieu of each clause or
provision of this Lease that is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, there shall
be added as a part of this Lease a clause or provision as similar in terms to
such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable clause or provision as may be possible
and be legal, valid and enforceable. If such invalid provision is, in the
reasonable determination of Owner, essential to this Lease, Owner has the right
to terminate this Lease on written notice to Tenant.

         25. TIME:

         Time is of the essence with respect to all obligations and rights of
the parties under this Lease.

         26. OHIO LAW:

         This Lease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of Ohio.

         27. MEMORANDUM OF LEASE:

         A memorandum of lease in proper form for recording purposes shall be
executed upon request by either party. This Lease shall not be recorded.

         (i) Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Property shall be equal
to the Fair Market Value of the Property. Fair Market Value means an amount

such value shall be determined by an appraisal conducted by a three person board

shall be appointed by the Owner; and (2) One shall be appointed by the Tenant.
These two appraisers shall appoint the third appraiser. Costs and expenses of
the appraisal under this subparagraph shall be paid one-half by the Owner, and
the balance by the Tenant.

         (ii) Closing. The closing of the purchase of the Property by Tenant
(the "Closing") shall occur at a time and place to be fixed by Owner, but shall
occur not later than 30 days after Tenant exercises its Option in the manner set
forth hereafter.

         (iii) Deed. If Tenant exercises its Option, Owner shall convey the
Property to Tenant by a recordable deed of limited warranty, title thereto to be
subject to real estate taxes and installments of assessments, if any, not
delinquent on the date of Closing, easements, restrictions and agreements of
record, current


<PAGE>   14

ways. Owner shall pay the Ohio Real Property Conveyance Fee and Tenant shall pay
all other recording fees and closing costs.

         (iv) Prorations. Rents, shall be prorated as of the date of Closing.
Tenant shall be responsible for all real estate taxes, installments of
assessments, if any.

         (v) Condition. The Property shall be sold and conveyed in an "as is"
condition without warranty of any kind other than the warranties in the limited
warranty deed referred to above.

         (vi) Exercise. Tenant may exercise its Option by written notice to
Owner. This Option expires 30 days prior to the expiration of this Lease
(including any applicable Renewal Terms) or upon termination of this Lease,
whichever is earlier. Notwithstanding any of the above, Tenant may not exercise
this Option during any period that Tenant is in default of any of its
obligations under this Lease. Between the date of the exercise of this Option
and the Closing, Tenant shall remain bound by the terms of this Lease,
including, but not limited to, the obligation to make rental payments. In the
event that Tenant exercises this Option but does not close on the acquisition of
the Property, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect.

B.  All of the terms of the Lease not amended hereby shall remain
in full force and effect.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Lease has been executed as of the date first

1.       TERM AND RENTALS AND DEPOSIT

This lease is for a term of 10 years, beginning February 13, 1995, and ending
February 12, 2005. For said term or any portion thereof, Lessee shall pay to
Lessor rentals aggregating $6,760,493.00, of which $400,493.00 is herewith paid
as a deposit, and all rentals shall be payable in 120 equal successive monthly
rental payments of $53,000 each, of which the first is due March 1, 1995 and the
others on like date of each month thereafter. All rent shall be paid at Lessor's
place of business shown herein, or such other place as the Lessor may designate
by written notice to the Lessee. The operation and use of the Aircraft shall be
at the risk of Lessee, and not of Lessor and the obligation of Lessee to pay

the account of Lessee, as additional rent hereunder, the sum, each month, of
$3,337.44 determined to be 1/120th of the deposit set forth above.

2.       DESTRUCTION OF AIRCRAFT

If the Aircraft is lost, stolen, totally destroyed, damaged beyond repair or
permanently rendered unfit for use for any reason whatsoever, the liability of
the Lessee to pay rent therefor may be discharged by paying to Lessor all the
rent due
<PAGE>   2
thereon, plus all the rent to become due thereon less the net amount of the
recovery, if any, actually received by or credited to Lessor from insurance or
otherwise for such loss or damage of the Aircraft. Except as expressly provided
in this paragraph, the total or partial destruction of the Aircraft, or total or
partial loss of use or possession thereof to Lessee, shall not release or
relieve Lessee from the duty to pay the rent herein provided.

3.       NO WARRANTIES BY LESSOR; MAINTENANCE AND COMPLIANCE WITH
         LAWS.

Lessor, not being the manufacturer of the Aircraft, nor manufacturer's agent,
makes no warranty or representation, either express or implied, as to the
fitness, quality, design, condition, capacity, suitability, merchantability or
performance of the Aircraft or of the material or workmanship thereof, or that
the Aircraft will satisfy the requirements of any law, rule, specification or
contract, it being agreed that the Aircraft is leased "as is" and that all such
risks, as between the Lessor and the Lessee, are to be borne by the Lessee at
its sole risk and expense, Lessee accordingly agrees not to assert any claim
whatsoever against the Lessor based thereon. Lessee further agrees, regardless
of cause, not to assert any claim whatsoever against the Lessor for loss of
anticipatory profits or consequential damages. Lessor shall have no obligation
to test or service the Aircraft. All prior conversations, agreements or
representations related hereto and/or to the Aircraft are integrated here, and
no modification hereof shall be binding unless in writing signed by Lessor.
Lessee agrees, at its own cost and expense:

(a)      to pay all charges and expenses in connection with the
         operation of the Aircraft.

(b)      to comply with all governmental laws, ordinances,
         regulations, requirements and rules with respect to the use,
         maintenance and operation of the Aircraft; and

(c)      to make all repairs and replacements required to be made to
         maintain the Aircraft in good condition, reasonable wear and
         tear expected.

4.       INSURANCE.

Lessee agrees, at its own cost and expense, to maintain at all times (a)
Aircraft hull insurance, including all-risk ground and flight insurance on the
Aircraft for the full insurable value thereof for the term of this lease, plus
other insurance thereon in amounts and against such risks as Lessee may specify,
and deliver each policy to Lessor with a standard long form endorsement attached
thereto showing loss payable to Lessor as its interest may appear, and (b)
single limit insurance covering bodily injury liability, property damage
liability and passenger liability for the term of this lease, and deliver to
Lessor
<PAGE>   3
evidence of such insurance coverage, all insurance policies must provide that no
cancellation thereof shall be effective without 30 days prior written notice to
Lessor and all insurance policies shall be in form, terms and amounts and with
insurance carriers satisfactory to Lessor; and

5.       TAXES.

Lessee agrees that, during the term of this lease, in addition to the rent and
all other amounts provided herein to be paid, it will promptly pay all taxes,
assessments and other governmental charges (including penalties and interest, if
any, and fees for titling or registration, if required, levied or assessed:

(a)      upon the interest of the Lessee in the Aircraft or upon the
         use or operation thereof or on the earnings arising
         therefrom;

(b)      against Lessor on account of its acquisition or ownership of
         the Aircraft, or the use or operation thereof or the leasing
         thereof to the Lessee, or the rent herein provided for, or
         the earnings arising therefrom, exclusive, however, of any
         taxes based on net income of Lessor.  Lessee agrees to file,
         in behalf of Lessor, all required tax returns and reports
         concerning the Aircraft with all appropriate governmental
         agencies, and within not more than 45 days after the due
         date of such filing to send Lessor confirmation, in form
         satisfactory to Lessor, of such filing.

6.       LESSOR'S TITLE, RIGHT OF INSPECTION AND IDENTIFICATION OF
         AIRCRAFT.

Title to the Aircraft shall at all times remain in Lessor, and Lessee will at
all times protect and defend, at its own cost and expense, the title of Lessor
from and against all claims, liens and legal processes of creditors of Lessee
and keep the Aircraft free and clear from all such claims, liens and processes.
All equipment, engines, radios, accessories, instruments and parts now or
hereafter used in connection with the Aircraft shall become part of the Aircraft
by accession. Lessor warrants that the Aircraft is not registered under the laws
of any foreign country. Upon the expiration or termination of this lease, the
Lessee at Lessee's sole expense shall return the Aircraft unencumbered to the
Lessor at the place where the rent is payable or to such other place as Lessor
and Lessee agree upon, and in the same condition as when received by Lessee,
reasonable wear and treat resulting form use thereof alone excepted. Lessor
shall have the right from time to time during reasonable business hours to enter
any hangar or other place where the Aircraft is located for the purpose of
confirming the existence, condition and the proper maintenance of the Aircraft.

the Aircraft in a conspicuous place, a decalcomania or metal plate showing
Lessor as the owner and lessor of the Aircraft.

registered under the laws of any foreign country; that the Aircraft and/or
equipment will not be held, maintained or used in violation of any law,
regulation, ordinance or policy of insurance affecting the maintenance, use or
flight of Aircraft. These warranties are conditions of Lessee's right of
possession and use, and delivery is made in reliance thereon.

9.       PERFORMANCE OF OBLIGATIONS OF LESSEE BY LESSOR.

In the event that Lessee shall fail duly and promptly to perform any of its
obligations under the provision of this lease, Lessor may, at its option,
perform the same for the account of Lessee without thereby waiving such default,
and any amount paid or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees), penalty
or other liability incurred by Lessor in such performance, together with
interest at the rate of 1 1/2% per month thereon until paid by Lessee to Lessor,
shall be payable by Lessee upon demand as additional rent for the Aircraft.

         permitted by applicable law so to do.  Lessee hereby

or other intended disposition thereof is to be made. Unless otherwise provided
by law, the requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is
mailed, postage prepaid, to the address of Lessee shown herein at least ten days
before the sale or disposition. Should any proceedings be instituted by or
against Lessor for monies due to Lessor hereunder and/or for possession of the
Aircraft or for any other relief, Lessee shall pay a reasonable sum as attorneys
fees. If any statute governing the proceeding in which damages are to be proved
specifies the amount of such claim, Lessor, shall be entitled to prove as and
for damages for the breach an amount equal to that allowed under such statute.
The remedies of this lease provided in favor of Lessor shall not be deemed
exclusive, but shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to all other
remedies in its favor existing at law or in equity, and the exercise, or
beginning of exercise both Lessor of any one or more of such remedies shall not
preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Lessor of any or all such
remedies. No express or implied waiver by Lessor of any event of default
hereunder shall in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any future or
subsequent events of default.

11.      INDEMNITY.

Lessee agrees that Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee for, and Lessee shall
indemnify and save Lessor harmless from and against any and all liability, loss,
damage, expense, causes of action, suits, claims or judgments arising from or

         under the provisions of this lease;

(b)      injury to person or property resulting from or based upon

         transportation of the Aircraft or its location or condition;

<PAGE>   7
(c)      inadequacy of the Aircraft for any purpose or any deficiency or defect
         therein or the use or maintenance thereof or any repairs, servicing or
         adjustments thereto or any delay in providing or failure to provide any
         thereof or any interruption or loss of service or use thereof or any
         loss of business;

and shall, at its own cost and expense, defend any and all suits which may be
brought against Lessor, either alone or in conjunction with others upon any such
liability or claim or claims and shall satisfy, pay and discharge any and all
judgments and fines that may be recovered against Lessor in any such action or
actions, provided, however, that Lessor shall give Lessee written notice of any
such claim or demand.

12.      ASSIGNMENTS AND NOTICES.

Neither this lease nor Lessee's rights hereunder shall be assignable except with
Lessor's written consent; the conditions hereof shall bind any permitted
successors and assigns of Lessee. Lessor may assign the rents reserved herein or
all or any of Lessor's other rights hereunder. After such assignment, Lessor
shall not be assignee's agent for any purpose; Lessee will settle all claims
arising out of alleged breach of warranties or otherwise, defenses, set-offs and
counterclaims it may have against Lessor directly with Lessor, and not set up
any such against Lessor's assignee, Lessor hereby agreeing to remain responsible
therefor. Lessee on receiving notice of any such assignment shall abide thereby
and make payment as may therein be directed. Following such assignment, solely
for the purpose of determining assignee's rights hereunder, the terms "Lessor"
shall be deemed to include or refer to Lessor's assignee. All notices relating
hereto shall be delivered in person to an officer of Lessor or Lessee or shall
be mailed to Lessor or Lessee at its respective address herein shown or at any
later address last known to the sender.

13.      FURTHER ASSURANCES.

Lessee shall execute and deliver to Lessor, upon Lessor's request, such
instruments and assurances as Lessor deems necessary or advisable for the
confirmation of perfection of this lease and Lessor's rights hereunder. Lessee
may not terminate this Lease without the written consent of Lessor. If Lessor in
good faith believes itself insecure or performance impaired, it may call a
default hereunder or, instead of calling a default, Lessor may demand, and
Lessee hereby agrees to give, additional equipment or other collateral as
security for the obligations hereunder.

14.      LEASE IRREVOCABILITY.

This lease is irrevocable for the full term hereof as set forth in Paragraph 1
hereof and for the aggregate rentals herein reserved in said Paragraph 1 and the
rent shall not abate by
<PAGE>   8
reason of termination of Lessee's right of possession and/or the taking of
possession by Lessor or for any other reason, and delinquent installments of
rent shall bear interest at 1 1/2% per month if not prohibited by law, otherwise
at the highest lawful contract rate. If any part hereof is contrary to,
prohibited by or demand invalid under applicable laws or regulations of any
jurisdiction, such provision shall be inapplicable and deemed omitted but shall

                                  (THE "LEASE")


Lessors:          Longline Leasing, Inc. and Excel Armor Products, Inc.

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereinabove in the
above-referenced Lease, the parties hereto agree as follows:

         1. Lessor's interest under the Lease may be assigned as collateral to
The CIT Group/Equipment Financing, Inc. ("CIT"), and Lessee hereby gives its
consent to such assignment. Such assignment shall include all rights of Lessor
with respect to the Lease, including rights to receive notices, give or withhold
consents thereunder, receive lease payments after notice to Lessee requiring
same, and receive physical possession of the original executed Lease. CIT,
however, shall have none of the obligations of Lessor under the Lease.

         2. Notwithstanding anything the Lease to the contrary, Lessee shall
procure forthwith and maintain at Lessee's expense aircraft hull insurance,
including all-risk ground and flight insurance on the Aircraft and other leased
property for the full insurable value thereof, plus breach of warranty insurance
and such other insurance thereon in amounts and against such risks as CIT shall
specify, for the life of CIT's security interest in the Aircraft or the term of
subject Lease and all renewals thereof, which is shorter. Lessee shall promptly
deliver each policy to CIT with standard long form mortgagee endorsement
attached thereto showing losses payable to CIT, and providing CIT with not less
than 30 days advance written notice of cancellation. Each such policy shall in
form, terms, and amount, and with insurance carriers, satisfactory to CIT. CIT's
acceptance of policies with lesser amounts or covered risks shall not be a
waiver of Lessee's foregoing obligations.

         3. Lessee confirms that the Aircraft is and will be kept hangared and
permanently based at Fulton County Airport, Atlanta, Fulton County, Georgia
which base will not be changed without the prior written consent of CIT.
<PAGE>   11
         4.       Lessee will not operate the Aircraft in any airspace
for which it has not provided CIT insurance coverage as required
above.

         5. No portion of Lessee's interest under the Lease may be assigned,
sublet, transferred or encumbered, nor any portion of the leased property
purchased by Lessee, nor the Lease cancelled or suspended by Lessor or Lessee
(pursuant to purchase option or otherwise) without CIT's prior written consent.

         6.       (a)  No lease payment greater than one month in advance
may be made without CIT's prior written consent.

                  (b) The Lease shall be non-cancelable and shall not be
modified by either party without the advance written consent of CIT, which may
be withheld in CIT's sole discretion.

                  (c) The Lease is in good standing and is hereby ratified as
amended hereby and no party to this lease is in default or has done or failed to
do something, which, if unremedied, with the passage of time will become a
default.

         7. Lessee shall pay all reasonable attorneys' and paralegal fees and
costs, from prior to litigation through post-judgment proceedings, incurred by
CIT and/or Lessor in enforcing its rights upon Lessee's default hereunder.

         8. Lessee agrees that the Aircraft will be maintained at all times in
an airworthy condition necessary for aircraft licenses under the laws,
ordinances, rules and regulations of the U.S., the several states and
municipalities, and any other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft shall be
operated at any time.

         9. Lessee agrees that the Aircraft will be used at all times in
accordance with the laws, rules, regulations, and ordinances of the U.S., the
several states and municipalities thereof, and any other sovereign jurisdiction
in which the Aircraft may be used.

         10. The Lease is subordinate to the Security Agreement, Uniform
Commercial Code financing statements, and related security instruments executed
in favor of CIT in connection with the Aircraft, and CIT's exercise of its
rights under any assignment of the Lease to receive lease payments or otherwise,
shall not prejudice CIT's rights to foreclose Lessee's interest in the Lease as
subordinate to CIT's.

         11.      CIT shall have the right to inspect the Aircraft upon
reasonable notice, and immediately in the event of an emergency.

         12. CIT shall receive simultaneously with Lessor and Lessee copies of
all notices sent by either to the other, and forthwith copies of all
correspondence from either such party with each other, subleases, the FAA,
airport authorities, other
<PAGE>   12
governmental authorities, financial institutions, and/or other persons or
entities related to the Aircraft.

         13.      Lessee agrees not to make any structural modifications
to the Aircraft without CIT's prior written approval.

         14. Lessee and Lessor acknowledge that this Addendum is being executed
by them in consideration for CIT's providing of financing to Thomas M. O'Gara
which has in turn provided financing to Lessor secured by the Aircraft, and
other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged
by Lessor and Lessee; and that such financing would not have been provided in
the absence of this Addendum.

         15. Lessee covenants and agrees that during the term of that certain
Negotiable Promissory Note of even date herewith executed by Thomas O'Gara in
favor of CIT, it will provide to CIT (1) within 90 days after the end of each
fiscal year, a balance sheet and income statement of Lessee, prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied
and certified by independent certified public accountants selected by Lessee and
acceptable to CIT, and (2) within 45 days after the end of each of the first
three quarters of such fiscal year, a balance sheet and income statement of
Lessee, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
consistently applied and certified by Lessee's Chief Financial Officer.

         16.      Notice.  Notice hereunder shall be by certified mail
return receipt requested, effective upon deposit in the U.S.
mails addressed to the parties at the addresses listed below, or
as changed by notice hereunder.

         17. Truth-in-Leasing. (A) THE LESSEE CERTIFIES THAT THE AIRCRAFT
PRESENTLY COMPLIES WITH APPLICABLE FAA MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS
FOR OPERATION TO BE CONDUCTED UNDER THE LEASE AND THAT THE AIRCRAFT HAS BEEN

FOR OPERATIONS TO BE CONDUCTED UNDER THE LEASE. (B) LESSEE CERTIFIES THAT IT IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR OPERATIONAL CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT UNDER THE LEASE DURING THE
TERM HEREOF AND THAT IT UNDERSTANDS ITS RESPONSIBILITY FOR COMPLIANCE WITH
APPLICABLE FEDERAL AVIATION REGULATIONS. (C) THE LESSEE UNDERSTANDS THAT AN

REGULATIONS CAN BE OBTAINED FROM THE NEAREST FAA FLIGHT STANDARD DISTRICT
OFFICE, GENERAL AVIATION DISTRICT OFFICE, OR AIR CARRIER DISTRICT OFFICE. (D)

                               AMENDMENT TO LEASE

         This Amendment to Lease ("Amendment") is made and entered into as of
the 1st day of August, 1996, by and between Longline Leasing, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, and Excel Armor Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(collectively "Lessor"), and O'Gara-Hess & Eisenhardt Armoring Company, a
Delaware corporation ("Lessee").

                               W I T N E S S E T H

         WHEREAS, Lessor and Lessee are parties to a certain Aircraft Lease,
dated as of February 13, 1995 ("Lease");

         WHEREAS, in connection with certain amendments to the financing
agreements by which Lessor has financed the acquisition of the Aircraft, the
parties desire to amend the rental payments due under the Lease;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and
valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:

         1. Paragraph 1 of the Lease is hereby deleted in its
entirety and the following inserted in its place:

         "1.      TERM AND RENTALS AND DEPOSIT

         This lease is for a term of 10 years, beginning February 13, 1995, and
         ending February 12, 2005. Lessor shall pay Lessee a deposit of
         $400,493. For the period from February 13, 1995 to August 14, 1996,
         Lessee shall pay to Lessor rental in the sum of $53,000 per month which
         shall be due and payable on the 15th day of each month, of which the
         first is due March 15, 1995, thereafter commencing August 15, 1996,
         Lessor shall pay Lessee rental in the sum of $35,200 per month ("Base
         Rent"), which shall be due and payable on the 15th day of each month,
         plus a sum equal to the number of hours that Lessee uses the Aircraft
         in excess of 23.47 hours per each year (for purposes of this sentence
         year means each 12 month period commencing February 13) multiplied by
         $1,500, which sum shall be paid monthly at the same time as the Base
         Rent is due. All rent shall be paid at Lessor's place of business shown
         herein, or such other place as the Lessor may designate by written
         notice to the Lessee. The operation and use of the Aircraft shall be at
         the risk of Lessee, and not of Lessor and the obligation of Lessee to
         pay rent hereunder shall be unconditional.
<PAGE>   16
         Deposit/Additional Rent: Lessor shall withdraw from the deposit and
         credit to the account of Lessee, as additional rent hereunder, the sum,
         each month, of $3,337.44 determined to be 1/120th of the deposit set
         forth above.

         2.  All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the
meaning ascribed to them in the Lease.

         3.  The Lease except as modified herein shall remain in full
force and effect.

         The undersigned have executed this Amendment as of the date first above
written.

                  payroll of the Company. A director of the Company who does not
                  otherwise qualify as an Eligible Employee pursuant to the

                  sale was transacted. If the Shares are not then traded as

                  preceding day on which bid and asked prices were reported, or
                  such other method as the Board may select, shall be used in
                  determining Fair Market Value for a Share.

                           I. "Incentive Stock Option" shall have the same
                  meaning as is given to that term by Section 422 of the Code.

                  subject to an Option. The Option Price shall not be (i) less
                  than 85% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Effective
                  Date of Grant in the case of a Nonqualified Stock Option,
                  except that no Nonqualified Stock Option which is intended to
                  result in compensation that qualifies for exclusion from the
                  deduction limitation of Code Section 162(m) shall be granted

                                 ADMINISTRATION


                  3.1 Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the
Board. Subject to and consistent with the provisions of the Plan, the Board
shall establish such rules and regulations as it deems necessary or appropriate
for the proper administration of the Plan, shall interpret the provisions of the
Plan, shall decide all questions of fact arising in the application of Plan
provisions and shall make such other determinations and take such actions in
connection with the Plan and the Options granted hereunder as it deems necessary
or advisable. At any time, or from time to time, the Board may appoint a
committee of at least two directors (the "Committee") to administer, or to
approve transactions pursuant to, the Plan. For the purpose of option grants to
and approval of other transactions with persons who are subject to Rule 16b-3
under the Exchange Act with respect to O'Gara, each member of the Committee
shall be a "Non-Employee Director" as defined in Rule 16b-3. To the extent that
it is desired that compensation resulting from the grant of a particular Option
be excluded from the deduction limitation of Section 162(m) of the Code, all
directors comprising the Committee granting such Option also shall be "outside
directors" within the meaning of Code Section 162(m). In the event a Committee
is so appointed, it may carry out all of the functions of the Board with respect
to the Plan, except for amendments to or suspension or termination of the Plan.

                  3.2 Except as specifically limited by the provisions of the
Plan, the Board shall have authority to:

                           A. Determine which Eligible Employees shall be
                  granted Options;

                           B. Determine the number of Shares which may be
                  subject to each Option;

                           C. Determine the term and the Option Price of each
                  Option;

                           D. Determine whether an Option is an Incentive Stock
                  Option or a Nonqualified Stock Option;

                           E. Determine the time or times when Options will be
                  granted; and

                           F. Determine all other terms and conditions of each
                  Option, including (but not limited to) the terms of any Option
                  agreement. The Board may, in its discretion, determine as a
                  condition of any Option that a stated percentage of Shares
                  covered by such Option shall be exercisable in any one year or
                  other stated period of time. The Board may also waive or amend
                  the terms and conditions of, or accelerate the vesting of, an
                  Option under circumstances selected by the Board.

                  3.3 Any action, decision, interpretation or determination by
the Board with respect to the application or administration of this Plan shall
be final and binding upon all persons, and need not be uniform with respect to
its determination of recipients, amount, timing, form, terms or provisions of
Options.

                  3.4 No member of the Board shall be liable for any action or
determination taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Option
granted hereunder and, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, all
members shall be indemnified by the Company for any liability and expenses which
they may incur as a result of any claim or cause of action, or threatened claim
or cause of action, arising in connection with the administration of this Plan
or the grant of any Option hereunder.


                                   ARTICLE IV

                                 SHARES ISSUABLE


                  4.1 Except as provided in Article XI, the number of Shares
which may be issued under the Plan shall not exceed 400,000 Shares in the
aggregate and Options for no more than 50,000 Shares may be granted to any
individual Eligible Employee during any period of twelve (12) consecutive
months. If any Option expires or terminates for any reason without being
completely exercised, the Shares with respect to which such Option was not
exercised may again be subject to other Options. Shares tendered or withheld as
payment for the Option Price pursuant to Section 7.1 shall be available for
issuance under the Plan. The Board may make such other determinations regarding
the counting of Shares issued pursuant to the Plan as it deems necessary or
advisable, provided that such determinations shall be permitted by law.


                                    ARTICLE V

                               GRANTING OF OPTIONS


                  5.1 Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Board
may, from time to time, grant Options to Eligible Employees on such terms and
conditions as it shall determine. More than one Option and more than one form of
Option may be granted to the same individual.


                                   ARTICLE VI

                               EXERCISE OF OPTIONS


                  6.1 Any person entitled to exercise an Option may do so,
without the need for further approval pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 16b-3, in
whole or in part by delivering to O'Gara, attention: Stock Option Plan
Administrator, at its principal office, a written notice of exercise. The
written notice shall specify the number of Shares for which


                                       -4-
<PAGE>   5
an Option is being exercised and shall be accompanied by full payment of the
Option Price for the Shares being purchased.


                                   ARTICLE VII

                             PAYMENT OF OPTION PRICE


                  7.1 Subject to such administrative requirements as the Board
may impose, payment of the Option Price may be made, at the election of the
holder of an Option, in cash, by the tender of previously owned Shares, by
directing that a portion of the Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Option
be withheld by O'Gara as payment (to the extent permitted by law) or by a
combination of the foregoing. If payment by the tender of previously owned
Shares or the withholding of Shares is permitted, the value of each Share shall
be deemed to be the Fair Market Value of a Share on the day the Shares are
tendered or withheld for payment. In the case of a tender of previously owned
Shares, this shall be the date on which the Shares, duly endorsed or accompanied
by a stock power duly endorsed for transfer to O'Gara, are received by O'Gara.
In the case of a withholding of Shares, this shall be the date on which a
complete and correct notice of exercise directing the withholding is received by
O'Gara. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option's exercise price may also be
paid pursuant to a "cashless" exercise/sale procedure involving a simultaneous
sale by a broker, in which case the exercise date shall be the trade date,
provided that proceeds of such sale in full payment of the Option Price are
received by O'Gara on such date.


                                  ARTICLE VIII

             INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS AND NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTIONS


                  8.1 Any option designated as an Incentive Stock Option will be
subject to the general provisions applicable to all Options granted under the
Plan. In addition, an Incentive Stock Option shall be subject to the following
specific provisions:

                           A. No Incentive Stock Option may be exercised after
                  the expiration of ten years from the Effective Date of Grant.

                           B. At the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted,
                  if the Eligible Employee owns, directly or indirectly, stock
                  representing more than 10% of the total combined voting power
                  of all classes of stock of the Company then:

                                    (i) The Option Price must equal at least
                           110% of the Fair Market Value on the Effective Date
                           of Grant; and


                                       -5-
<PAGE>   6
                                    (ii) The term of the Option shall not be
                           greater than five years from the Effective Date of
                           Grant.

                           C. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of
                  the Effective Date of Grant) of the Shares with respect to
                  which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first
                  time by any holder during any calendar year (under all plans
                  of the Company) shall not exceed $100,000.

                  8.2 If any Option is not granted, exercised or held pursuant
to the provisions of Code Section 422, it will be considered to be a
Nonqualified Stock Option to the extent that any or all of the grant is in
conflict with those provisions.


                                   ARTICLE IX

                           TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS


                  9.1 During the lifetime of an Eligible Employee to whom an
Option has been granted, such Option is non-assignable and non-transferable and
may be exercised only by such individual or that individual's legal
representative or guardian, except that a Nonqualified Stock Option may be
transferred (A) pursuant to a "domestic relations order" as defined in Section 
414(p)(1)(B) of the Code or (B) under such other circumstances and in accordance
with such other terms and conditions as may be established by the Board. In the
event of the death of an Eligible Employee to whom an Option has been granted,
the Option shall be transferable pursuant to the holder's Will or by the laws of
descent and distribution and may thereafter be exercised by the transferee(s) as
provided in Section 10.1(C).


                                    ARTICLE X

                             TERMINATION OF OPTIONS


                  10.1 Unless earlier terminated pursuant to Article XIII, an
Option granted to an Eligible Employee will terminate as follows:

                           A. During the period of the Eligible Employee's
                  continuous employment with, or service as a director of, the
                  Company, the Option will terminate upon the earlier of the
                  date on which it has been fully exercised, it expires by its
                  terms or it is terminated by the mutual agreement of the
                  Company and the Eligible Employee.

                           B. Upon termination of the Eligible Employee's
                  employment with, or service as a director of, the Company for
                  any reason any unexercisable Option shall immediately
                  terminate. Except as provided in Section 10.1(C), any Option


                                       -6-
<PAGE>   7
                  which is exercisable on the date of termination of employment,
                  or service as a director, will terminate upon the earlier of
                  its full exercise, the expiration of the Option by its terms
                  or the end of the three-month period following the date of
                  termination. For purposes of the Plan, a leave of absence
                  approved by the Company shall not be deemed to be termination
                  of employment.

                           C. If an Eligible Employee to whom an Option was
                  granted dies or becomes subject to a Disability while employed
                  by, or serving as a director of, the Company or within three
                  months of termination of employment or service as a director,
                  for any reason, the Option may be exercised at any time within
                  one year after the date of death or the commencement of
                  Disability, to the extent that the Eligible Employee shall
                  have been entitled to exercise it at the time of death or the
                  commencement of Disability, by the Eligible Employee or the
                  Eligible Employee's legal representative or guardian or by the
                  representative(s) of the Eligible Employee's estate or the
                  person(s) to whom the Option may have been transferred by Will
                  or by the laws of descent and distribution.

                  10.2 The provisions of Section 10.1 above shall apply
irrespective of whether an Option has been transferred to a person or entity
other than the Eligible Employee to whom the Option was granted.

                  10.3 The Board, at its discretion, may extend the periods for
Option exercise set forth in this Article X.


                                   ARTICLE XI

                     ADJUSTMENTS TO SHARES AND OPTION PRICE


                  11.1 The Board shall make appropriate adjustments in the
number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan, the number of Shares
subject to outstanding Options and the Option Price of optioned Shares in order
to give effect to changes in the Shares as a result of any merger,
consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, stock dividend,
stock split, or other similar event. The determination as to the method and
extent of such adjustments shall be within the sole discretion of the Board.


                                   ARTICLE XII

                        AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN


                  12.1 The Board may at any time amend, suspend or terminate the
Plan; provided, however, that shareholder approval shall be required for any
amendment if such


                                       -7-
<PAGE>   8
approval is required pursuant to the Code or the Exchange Act, or any rule or
regulation thereunder, as such may be in effect and be interpreted from time to
time.

                  12.2 No amendment to the Plan shall alter or impair any Option
granted under the Plan without the consent of the holder thereof.


                                  ARTICLE XIII

                                 CERTAIN EVENTS


                  13.1 In the event O'Gara shall consolidate with, merge into,
or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation or
corporations (a "successor corporation"), such successor corporation may
obligate itself to continue this Plan and to assume all obligations under the
Plan. In the event that such successor corporation does not obligate itself to
continue this Plan as above provided, the Plan shall terminate effective upon
such consolidation, merger or transfer, and, except as provided in Section 13.4,
any Option previously granted hereunder shall terminate. If practical, O'Gara
shall give each holder of an Option twenty (20) days prior notice of any
possible transaction which might terminate this Plan and the Options previously
granted hereunder.

                  13.2 In the event any person, by any means of purchase or
acquisition, becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Exchange Act Rule
13d-3 as in effect on ___________, 1996) of more than 50% of the outstanding
Shares of O'Gara, or commences a tender offer pursuant to Exchange Act
Regulation 14D (as in effect on ___________, 1996) which, if successful, would
result in such person becoming the beneficial owner of more than 50% of such
Shares, then all Options which are outstanding at the time of such event shall
immediately become exercisable in full.

                  13.3 In the event of the execution of an agreement of
reorganization, merger or consolidation of O'Gara with one or more corporations
as a result of which O'Gara is not to be the surviving corporation (whether or
not O'Gara shall be dissolved or liquidated) or the execution of an agreement of
sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of O'Gara, then all
Options which are outstanding at the time of such event shall immediately become
exercisable in full.

                  13.4 In the event of any of the transactions referred to in
Section 13.3 hereof, any holder of one or more Options who is subject to the
reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to
O'Gara shall be entitled to tender such Options to the Company and to receive
from the Company a payment of cash equal to the difference between the aggregate
"Fair Value" of Shares subject to the holder's Options which are outstanding and
not exercised immediately prior to the time of consummation of the transaction
and the aggregate Option Price of such Shares. For this purpose, "Fair Value"
shall mean the cash value per Share to be paid to shareholders pursuant to such
agreement, or if cash value is not to be paid, the highest Fair Market Value of
a Share during the 60-day period immediately preceding the date of the
consummation of the transaction. The foregoing payment under this Section 13.4
shall be made in lieu of and in full discharge of any and all obligations of the
Company in respect of all subject Options of the holder.

                  13.5 The grant of Options under the Plan shall in no way
affect the right of O'Gara to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change
its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate
or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

                  13.6 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the amounts
deemed payable under this Article XIII when added to all other payments to the
holder of an Option by the Company, would, if made, constitute Excess Parachute
Payments within the meaning of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code, the amounts
deemed payable by the Company under this Article shall be reduced by the amount
deemed necessary to cause the holder to receive $1,000.00 less than three times
the holder's Base Amount (as that term is defined in Code Section 280G) from all
such payments to the holder from the Company. In the event the amount of the
payments exceeds the amount subsequently determined to have been due, the excess
benefits over three times the Base Amount shall constitute a loan by the Company
to the holder, payable on demand by the Company, with interest at a rate equal
to 120% of the applicable federal rate determined under Section 1274 of the
Code, compounded semi-annually.


                                   ARTICLE XIV

                                 EFFECTIVE DATE


                  14.1 This Plan shall become effective on _____________, 1996.
If not approved and adopted by the shareholders of O'Gara within twelve months
after such date, all Incentive Stock Options previously granted hereunder shall
be deemed to be Nonqualified Stock Options. No Option shall be granted pursuant
to this Plan subsequent to ___________, 2006 or subsequent to any earlier date
as of which this Plan is terminated.


                                   ARTICLE XV

                                  MISCELLANEOUS


                  15.1 Nothing contained in this Plan shall constitute the
granting of an Option. Each Option shall be represented by a written Option
agreement executed by both the Eligible Employee and O'Gara.

                  15.2 Certificates for Shares purchased through exercise of
Options will be issued in regular course after exercise of the Option and
payment therefor as called for by the terms of the Option. No person holding an
Option or entitled to exercise an Option granted under this Plan shall have any
rights or privileges of a shareholder of O'Gara with respect to any Shares
issuable upon exercise of such Option until certificates representing such
Shares shall have been issued and delivered. No Option may be transferred, and
no Option shall be exercisable or Shares issued and delivered upon exercise of
an Option, unless and until O'Gara has complied with any and all applicable
federal and state securities laws, listing requirements of any market or
national securities exchange on which O'Gara's Shares may then be traded and
other requirements of law. Any certificate


                                       -9-
<PAGE>   10
representing Shares acquired upon exercise of an Option may bear such legends as
the Company deems advisable to assure compliance with all applicable laws and
regulations.

                  15.3 Nothing contained in this Plan or in any Option granted
pursuant to it shall confer upon any person any right to continue in the employ
of or as a director of the Company or to interfere in any way with the right of
the Company to terminate a person's employment or status as a director at any
time. So long as a holder of an Option shall continue to be an employee of the
Company, the Option shall not be affected by any change of the employee's duties
or position.

                  15.4 This Plan shall be construed and administered in
accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Ohio.

                  (a) Executive agrees to perform his duties, responsibilities
and obligations hereunder efficiently and to the best of his ability. Executive

trade secret and/or know how, and all matters pertaining thereto, of the Company
whether or not contained in any written document, which are or have been

                  (c) All samples, drawings, sketches, documents and written

sketches, documents and written information, and all copies, facsimiles,
replicas, photocopies, and reproductions of them, to the Company.

                  (d) The Executive hereby covenants and agrees to refrain,
during his employment by the Company and for a period of two (2) years after the
date of termination of the Executive's employment for cause or if the Executive
terminates employment on his own volition, from directly or indirectly owning
any interest in or engaging in or performing any services for any person, firm
or corporation that directly or indirectly engages in any business which
competes with any aspect of the business of the Company, wherever located,
either as an individual on his own behalf, or as a partner, employee or agent
for any person or partnership, or as an employee, officer, agent, director or
shareholder of a corporation. The Executive will not at any time during the
period of the Executive's employment by the Company and for a period of two (2)
years thereafter induce or assist others to induce or attempt to induce, in any
manner, directly or indirectly, any employee, agent, representative, customer or
any other person or concern dealing with or in any way associated with the
Company to terminate or to modify in any other fashion to the detriment of the
Company such association with the Company. The Executive represents that his

not prevent him from earning a livelihood.

                  (e) The parties hereto agree that the Executive's agreements
contained in paragraph (b) through (d) of this Article relate to matters of
unique character and peculiar value impossible of replacement, that breach of
such agreements by the Executive will cause the Company great and irreparable

contained in (b) through (d) will be inadequate and that the Company, in
addition to any other relief available to it, shall be entitled to temporary
restraining orders and temporary and permanent injunctive relief or other
equitable relief without the necessity of proving actual damage so as to prevent
a breach of any of the agreements contained in (b) through (d) of this Article
and to secure the enforcement thereof.

                  5.01. TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY. The Company shall have the
right to terminate the Executive's employment at any time, with or without
"Cause." For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall mean (i) substantial
failure by the Executive to perform his duties as described in Article I of this
Agreement, (ii) a breach by the Executive of any of the other terms and
conditions of this Agreement, (iii) conduct grossly insubordinate or disloyal to
the Company, or (iv) pleading no contest or guilty to a felony charge or being
convicted of a felony.

                  5.02. DEATH. In the event Executive dies during the Term, this
Agreement shall automatically terminate, such termination to be effective on the
date of Executive's death.

                  5.03. DISABILITY. In the event that Executive shall suffer a
disability which shall have prevented him from performing satisfactorily his
obligations hereunder for a period of at least 90 consecutive days, or 180
non-consecutive days within any 365 day period, the Company shall have the right
to terminate Executive's employment, such

                                      - 3 -


<PAGE>   4



termination to be effective upon the giving of notice thereof to Executive in
accordance with Section 6.03 hereof.

                  5.04. EFFECT OF TERMINATION. (a) In the event of termination
of Executive's employment for any reason, the Company shall pay to executive (or
his beneficiary in the event of his death) any base salary or other compensation
in accordance with the normal pay practices of the Company upon a termination of
employees for similar reasons.

                  (b) In the event of termination of Executive's employment (i)
by the Company for Cause, (ii) by Executive for any reason, (iii) because of
Executive's death, or (iv) pursuant to Section 5.03, because of Executive's
disability, neither the Executive nor any beneficiary of Executive shall be
entitled to any further compensation other than the amounts described in Section
5.04(a) hereof.

                  (c) In the event of termination of Executive's employment by
the Company other than for Cause, the Company shall pay Executive, in addition
to the amounts described in Section 5.04(a) hereof, an amount equal to the value
of the continued payment of Executive's base salary for the remainder of the
Term. Such amount shall be payable, at the discretion of the Company, either (i)
in a lump sum or (ii) in equal monthly installments.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                  MISCELLANEOUS
                                  -------------

                  6.01. MITIGATION: OFFSET. In the event that an amount becomes
payable to Executive pursuant to Section 5.04(c) above, such amount shall be
reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by (i) any outstanding amounts owed by
Executive to the Company and (ii) the amount of any compensation for services
earned by Executive during the remainder of the Term, from any source, whether
paid currently or deferred. In such event, Executive shall cooperate with the
Company and shall provide such information to the Company as it may reasonably
require.

                  6.02. BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENT; BENEFICIARY. (a) This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and
their successors and assigns (but only to the extent the Agreement relates to
such entity), including, without limitation, any corporation or person which may
acquire all or substantially all of the Company's assets or business, or with or
into which the Company may be consolidated or merged. This Agreement shall also
inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Executive and his personal
or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs,
distributees, devisees and legatees. If the Executive should die while any
amount would still be payable to the Executive hereunder if he had continued to
live, all such amounts shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement to the Executive's beneficiary, devisee, legatee or other designee, or
if there is no such designee, to the Executive's estate.

                  (b) The Company shall require any successor (whether director
or indirect, by operation of law, by purchase, merger, consolidation or
otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the
Company to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same
manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it
if no such succession had taken place.

termination of the Executive's employment by the Company, the Executive shall
return all such samples, drawings, sketches, documents and written information,
and all copies, facsimiles, replicas, photocopies, and reproductions of them, to
the Company.

                  (d) The Executive hereby covenants and agrees to refrain,
during his employment by the Company and for a period of two (2) years after the
date of termination of the Executive's employment for cause or if the Executive
terminates employment on his own volition, from directly or indirectly owning
any interest in or engaging in or performing any services for any person, firm
or corporation that directly or indirectly engages in any business which
competes with any aspect of the business of the Company, wherever located,
either as an individual on his own behalf, or as a partner, employee or agent
for any person or partnership, or as an employee, officer, agent, director or
shareholder of a corporation. The Executive will not at any time during the
period of the Executive's employment by the Company and for a period of two (2)
years thereafter induce or assist others to induce or attempt to induce, in any
manner, directly or indirectly, any employee, agent, representative, customer or
any other person or concern dealing with or in any way associated with the

Company such association with the Company. The Executive represents that his
experience and capabilities are such that the provisions of this paragraph will
not prevent him from earning a livelihood.

Executive shall be able to continue his relationship with O'Gara Protective

contained in paragraph (b) through (e) of this Article relate to matters of
unique character and peculiar value impossible of replacement, that breach of
such agreements by the Executive will cause the Company great and irreparable
injury therefor, that the remedy at law for any breach of the agreements
contained in (b) through (e) will be inadequate and that the Company, in
addition to any other relief available to it, shall be entitled to temporary
restraining orders and temporary and permanent injunctive relief or other
equitable relief without the necessity of proving actual damage so as to prevent
a breach of any of the agreements contained in (b) through (e) of this Article
and to secure the enforcement thereof.

                  5.03. DISABILITY. In the event that Executive shall suffer a
disability which shall have prevented him from performing satisfactorily his
obligations hereunder for a period of at least 90 consecutive days, or 180
non-consecutive days within any 365 day period, the Company shall have the right
to terminate Executive's employment, such termination to be effective upon the
giving of notice thereof to Executive in accordance with Section 6.03 hereof.

                  5.04. EFFECT OF TERMINATION. (a) In the event of termination
of Executive's employment for any reason, the Company shall pay to executive (or
his beneficiary in the event of his death) any base salary or other compensation
in accordance with the normal pay practices of the Company upon a termination of
employees for similar reasons.

                  (b) In the event of termination of Executive's employment (i)
by the Company for Cause, (ii) by Executive for any reason, (iii) because of
Executive's death, or (iv) pursuant to Section 5.03, because of Executive's
disability, neither the Executive nor any beneficiary of Executive shall be
entitled to any further compensation other than the amounts described in Section

                  (c) In the event of termination of Executive's employment by
the Company other than for Cause, the Company shall pay Executive, in addition

of the continued payment of Executive's base salary for the remainder of the
Term. Such amount shall be payable, at the discretion of the Company, either (i)
in a lump sum or (ii) in equal monthly installments.

                  6.01. MITIGATION: OFFSET. In the event that an amount becomes
payable to Executive pursuant to Section 5.04(c) above, such amount shall be
reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by (i) any outstanding amounts owed by
Executive to the Company and (ii) the amount of any compensation for services
earned by Executive during the remainder of the Term, from any source, whether
paid currently or deferred. In such event, Executive shall cooperate with the
Company and shall provide such information to the Company as it may reasonably
require.

                  6.02. BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENT; BENEFICIARY. (a) This

such designee, to the Executive's estate.

otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the
Company to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same

signed by both of the parties hereto.

                  6.05. WAIVER. The waiver of either party of a breach of any

                  (d) The Executive hereby covenants and agrees to refrain,
during his employment by the Company and for a period of two (2) years after the
date of termination of the Executive's employment for cause or if the Executive

any interest in or engaging in or performing any services for any person, firm
or corporation that directly or indirectly engages in any business which
competes with any aspect of the business of the Company, wherever located,
either as an individual on his own behalf, or as a partner, employee or agent
for any person or partnership, or as an employee, officer, agent, director or
shareholder of a corporation. The Executive will not at any time during the
period of the Executive's employment by the Company and for a period of two (2)
years thereafter induce or assist others to induce or attempt to induce, in any
manner, directly or indirectly, any employee, agent, representative, customer or
any other person or concern dealing with or in any way associated with the
Company to terminate or to modify in any other fashion to the detriment of the
Company such association with the Company. The Executive represents that his

unique character and peculiar value impossible of replacement, that breach of
such agreements by the Executive will cause the Company great and irreparable
injury therefor, that the remedy at law for any breach of the agreements
contained in (b) through (e) will be inadequate and that the Company, in
addition to any other relief available to it, shall be entitled to temporary
restraining orders and temporary and permanent injunctive relief or other
equitable relief without the necessity of proving actual damage so as to prevent
a breach of any of the agreements contained in (b) through (e) of this Article
and to secure the enforcement thereof.

                  5.01. TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY. The Company shall have the
right to terminate the Executive's employment at any time, with or without

                  5.02. DEATH. In the event Executive dies during the Term, this
Agreement shall automatically terminate, such termination to be effective on the
date of Executive's death.

                  5.03. DISABILITY. In the event that Executive shall suffer a
disability which shall have prevented him from performing satisfactorily his
obligations hereunder for a period of at least 90 consecutive days, or 180
non-consecutive days within any 365 day period, the Company shall have the right
to terminate Executive's employment, such termination to be effective upon the
giving of notice thereof to Executive in accordance with Section 6.03 hereof.

                  5.04. EFFECT OF TERMINATION. (a) In the event of termination
of Executive's employment for any reason, the Company shall pay to executive (or
his beneficiary in the event of his death) any base salary or other compensation
in accordance with the normal pay practices of the Company upon a termination of
employees for similar reasons.

                  (b) In the event of termination of Executive's employment (i)
by the Company for Cause, (ii) by Executive for any reason, (iii) because of
Executive's death, or (iv) pursuant to Section 5.03, because of Executive's
disability, neither the Executive nor any beneficiary of Executive shall be
entitled to any further compensation other than the amounts described in Section
5.04(a) hereof.

                  (c) In the event of termination of Executive's employment by
the Company other than for Cause, the Company shall pay Executive, in addition
to the amounts described in Section 5.04(a) hereof, an amount equal to the value
of the continued payment of Executive's base salary for the remainder of the
Term. Such amount shall be payable, at the discretion of the Company, either (i)
in a lump sum or (ii) in equal monthly installments.

                  6.01. MITIGATION: OFFSET. In the event that an amount becomes
payable to Executive pursuant to Section 5.04(c) above, such amount shall be
reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by (i) any outstanding amounts owed by
Executive to the Company and (ii) the amount of any compensation for services
earned by Executive during the remainder of the Term, from any source, whether
paid currently or deferred. In such event, Executive shall cooperate with the
Company and shall provide such information to the Company as it may reasonably
require.

                  6.02. BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENT; BENEFICIARY. (a) This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and
their successors and assigns (but only to the extent the Agreement relates to
such entity), including, without limitation, any corporation or person which may
acquire all or substantially all of the Company's assets or business, or with or
into which the Company may be consolidated or merged. This Agreement shall also
inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Executive and his personal
or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs,
distributees, devisees and legatees. If the Executive should die while any
amount would still be payable to the Executive hereunder if he had continued to
live, all such amounts shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement to the Executive's beneficiary, devisee, legatee or other designee, or
if there is no such designee, to the Executive's estate.

Company to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same
manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it

such agreements by the Executive will cause the Company great and irreparable
injury therefor, that the remedy at law for any breach of the agreements
contained in (b) through (e) will be inadequate and that the Company, in
addition to any other relief available to it, shall be entitled to temporary
restraining orders and temporary and permanent injunctive relief or other
equitable relief without the necessity of proving actual damage so as to prevent
a breach of any of the agreements contained in (b) through (e) of this Article
and to secure the enforcement thereof.

disability which shall have prevented him from performing satisfactorily his
obligations hereunder for a period of at least 90 consecutive days, or 180
non-consecutive days within any 365 day period, the Company shall have the right
to terminate Executive's employment, such termination to be effective upon the
giving of notice thereof to Executive in accordance with Section 6.03 hereof.

                  5.04. EFFECT OF TERMINATION. (a) In the event of termination

in accordance with the normal pay practices of the Company upon a termination of
employees for similar reasons.

                  (b) In the event of termination of Executive's employment (i)
by the Company for Cause, (ii) by Executive for any reason, (iii) because of
Executive's death, or (iv) pursuant to Section 5.03, because of Executive's
disability, neither the Executive nor any beneficiary of Executive shall be

5.04(a) hereof.

                  (c) In the event of termination of Executive's employment by

Term. Such amount shall be payable, at the discretion of the Company, either (i)

reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by (i) any outstanding amounts owed by
Executive to the Company and (ii) the amount of any compensation for services
earned by Executive during the remainder of the Term, from any source, whether
paid currently or deferred. In such event, Executive shall cooperate with the
Company and shall provide such information to the Company as it may reasonably
require.

                  6.02. BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENT; BENEFICIARY. (a) This

their successors and assigns (but only to the extent the Agreement relates to

equipment, scientific or technical information, method of production, business
plan, financial information, listing of names, addresses or telephone numbers,
trade secret and/or know how, and all matters pertaining thereto, of the Company
whether or not contained in any written document, which are or have been
directly or indirectly communicated to, acquired by, or learned by the Executive
as a result of his relationship (whether as an employee or otherwise) with the
Company and (b) any analysis, compilation, note, study, sample, drawing, sketch,
computer program, computer file or other document, whether prepared by or under

                  (d) The Executive hereby covenants and agrees to refrain,
during his employment by the Company and for a period of two (2) years after the
date of termination of the Executive's employment for cause or if the Executive
terminates employment on his own volition, from directly or indirectly owning
any interest in or engaging in or performing any services for any person, firm
or corporation that directly or indirectly engages in any business which
competes with any aspect of the business of the Company, wherever located,
either as an individual on his own behalf, or as a partner, employee or agent
for any person or partnership, or as an employee, officer, agent, director or
shareholder of a corporation. The Executive will not at any time during the
period of the Executive's employment by the Company and for a period of two (2)
years thereafter induce or assist others to induce or attempt to induce, in any
manner, directly or indirectly, any employee, agent, representative, customer or
any other person or concern dealing with or in any way associated with the
Company to terminate or to modify in any other fashion to the detriment of the
Company such association with the Company. The Executive represents that his
experience and capabilities are such that the provisions of this paragraph will
not prevent him from earning a livelihood.

                  (e) The parties hereto agree that the Executive's agreements
contained in paragraph (b) through (d) of this Article relate to matters of
unique character and peculiar value impossible of replacement, that breach of
such agreements by the Executive will cause the Company great and irreparable
injury therefor, that the remedy at law for any breach of the agreements
contained in (b) through (d) will be inadequate and that the Company, in
addition to any other relief available to it, shall be entitled to temporary
restraining orders and temporary and permanent injunctive relief or other
equitable relief without the necessity of proving actual damage so as to prevent
a breach of any of the agreements contained in (b) through (d) of this Article
and to secure the enforcement thereof.

                                    ARTICLE V

                                   TERMINATION
                                   -----------

                  5.01. TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY. The Company shall have the
right to terminate the Executive's employment at any time, with or without
"Cause." For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall mean (i) substantial
failure by the Executive to perform his duties as described in Article I of this
Agreement, (ii) a breach by the Executive of any of the other terms and
conditions of this Agreement, (iii) conduct grossly insubordinate or disloyal to
the Company, or (iv) pleading no contest or guilty to a felony charge or being
convicted of a felony.

                  5.02. DEATH. In the event Executive dies during the Term, this
Agreement shall automatically terminate, such termination to be effective on the
date of Executive's death.

                  5.03. DISABILITY. In the event that Executive shall suffer a
disability which shall have prevented him from performing satisfactorily his
obligations hereunder for a period of at least 90 consecutive days, or 180
non-consecutive days within any 365 day period, the Company shall have the right
to terminate Executive's employment, such termination to be effective upon the
giving of notice thereof to Executive in accordance with Section 6.03 hereof.

                  5.04. EFFECT OF TERMINATION. (a) In the event of termination
of Executive's employment for any reason, the Company shall pay to executive (or
his beneficiary in the event of his death) any base salary or other compensation
in accordance with the normal pay practices of the Company upon a termination of
employees for similar reasons.

                  (b) In the event of termination of Executive's employment (i)
by the Company for Cause, (ii) by Executive for any reason, (iii) because of
Executive's death, or (iv) pursuant to Section 5.03, because of Executive's
disability, neither the Executive nor any beneficiary of Executive shall be
entitled to any further compensation other than the amounts described in Section
5.04(a) hereof.

                  (c) In the event of termination of Executive's employment by
the Company other than for Cause, the Company shall pay Executive, in addition
to the amounts described in Section 5.04(a) hereof, an amount equal to the value
of the continued payment of Executive's base salary for the remainder of the
Term. Such amount shall be payable, at the discretion of the Company, either (i)
in a lump sum or (ii) in equal monthly installments.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                  MISCELLANEOUS
                                  -------------

                  6.01. MITIGATION: OFFSET. In the event that an amount becomes
payable to Executive pursuant to Section 5.04(c) above, such amount shall be
reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by (i) any outstanding amounts owed by
Executive to the Company and (ii) the amount of any compensation for services
earned by Executive during the remainder of the Term, from any source, whether
paid currently or deferred. In such event, Executive shall cooperate with the
Company and shall provide such information to the Company as it may reasonably
require.

                  6.02. BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENT; BENEFICIARY. (a) This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and
their successors and assigns (but only to the extent the Agreement relates to
such entity), including, without limitation, any corporation or person which may
acquire all or substantially all of the Company's assets or business, or with or
into which the Company may be consolidated or merged. This Agreement shall also
inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Executive and his personal
or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs,
distributees, devisees and legatees. If the Executive should die while any
amount would still be payable to the Executive hereunder if he had continued to
live, all such amounts shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement to the Executive's beneficiary, devisee, legatee or other designee, or
if there is no such designee, to the Executive's estate.

                  (b) The Company shall require any successor (whether director
or indirect, by operation of law, by purchase, merger, consolidation or
otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the
Company to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same
manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it
if no such succession had taken place.

                  6.03. NOTICES. Any notice required or permitted hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be sufficiently given if personally delivered or

notice given hereunder shall be deemed to have been given at the time of receipt
thereof by the person to whom such notice is given if personally delivered or at
the time of mailing if sent by registered or certified mail.

                  6.04. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENT. This Agreement contains the
entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the terms and conditions
of Executive's employment during the Term and supersedes any and all prior
agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, between the parties
hereto with respect to compensation due for services rendered hereunder. This
Agreement may not be changed or modified except by an instrument in writing
signed by both of the parties hereto.

                  6.05. WAIVER. The waiver of either party of a breach of any
provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a continuing
waiver or as a consent to or waiver of any subsequent breach hereof.

and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

                  (a) Executive agrees to perform his duties, responsibilities
and obligations hereunder efficiently and to the best of his ability. Executive

                  (a) The term "Confidential Information", as employed in this
Agreement, means (a) any object, material, device, substance, data, report,
record, forecast, interpretation or information, whether written or oral, not in
the public domain and relating to or reflecting any product, design, process,
procedure, formula, research, idea, invention, discovery, improvement,
equipment, scientific or technical information, method of production, business
plan, financial information, listing of names, addresses or telephone numbers,
trade secret and/or know how, and all matters pertaining thereto, of the Company
whether or not contained in any written document, which are or have been
directly or indirectly communicated to, acquired by, or learned by the Executive
as a result of his relationship (whether as an employee or otherwise) with the
Company and (b) any analysis, compilation, note, study, sample, drawing, sketch,
computer program, computer file or other document, whether prepared by or under
the direction of the Company, the Executive or others, and all copies,
facsimiles, replicas, photographs, and reproductions thereof, which contain,
relate to, or reflect any of the aforementioned items.

                  (b) The Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, either
disclose any Confidential Information, except to the extent required in the
performance of his duties as an employee of the Company and then only at the
direction of the Company, or use any Confidential Information for the benefit of
himself or any person, firm, corporation, or association other than Company,

                  (d) The Executive hereby covenants and agrees to refrain,
during his employment by the Company and for a period of two (2) years after the
date of termination of the Executive's employment for cause or if the Executive
terminates employment on his own volition, from directly or indirectly owning
any interest in or engaging in or performing any services for any person, firm
or corporation that directly or indirectly engages in any business which
competes with any aspect of the business of the Company, wherever located,
either as an individual on his own behalf, or as a partner, employee or agent
for any person or partnership, or as an employee, officer, agent, director or
shareholder of a corporation. The Executive will not at any time during the
period of the Executive's employment by the Company and for a period of two (2)
years thereafter induce or assist others to induce or attempt to induce, in any
manner, directly or indirectly, any employee, agent, representative, customer or
any other person or concern dealing with or in any way associated with the
Company to terminate or to modify in any other fashion to the detriment of the
Company such association with the Company. The Executive represents that his
experience and capabilities are such that the provisions of this paragraph will
not prevent him from earning a livelihood.

                  (e) The parties hereto agree that the Executive's agreements
contained in paragraph (b) through (d) of this Article relate to matters of
unique character and peculiar value impossible of replacement, that breach of
such agreements by the Executive will cause the Company great and irreparable
injury therefor, that the remedy at law for any breach of the agreements
contained in (b) through (d) will be inadequate and that the Company, in
addition to any other relief available to it, shall be entitled to temporary
restraining orders and temporary and permanent injunctive relief or other
equitable relief without the necessity of proving actual damage so as to prevent
a breach of any of the agreements contained in (b) through (d) of this Article
and to secure the enforcement thereof.

                                    ARTICLE V

                                   TERMINATION
                                   -----------

                  5.01. TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY. The Company shall have the
right to terminate the Executive's employment at any time, with or without
"Cause." For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall mean (i) substantial
failure by the Executive to perform his duties as described in Article I of this
Agreement, (ii) a breach by the Executive of any of the other terms and
conditions of this Agreement, (iii) conduct grossly insubordinate or disloyal to
the Company, or (iv) pleading no contest or guilty to a felony charge or being
convicted of a felony.

                  5.02. DEATH. In the event Executive dies during the Term, this
Agreement shall automatically terminate, such termination to be effective on the
date of Executive's death.

                  5.03. DISABILITY. In the event that Executive shall suffer a
disability which shall have prevented him from performing satisfactorily his
obligations hereunder for a period of at least 90 consecutive days, or 180
non-consecutive days within any 365 day period, the Company shall have the right
to terminate Executive's employment, such termination to be effective upon the
giving of notice thereof to Executive in accordance with Section 6.03 hereof.

<PAGE>   4



                  5.04. EFFECT OF TERMINATION. (a) In the event of termination
of Executive's employment for any reason, the Company shall pay to executive (or
his beneficiary in the event of his death) any base salary or other compensation
in accordance with the normal pay practices of the Company upon a termination of
employees for similar reasons.

                  (b) In the event of termination of Executive's employment (i)
by the Company for Cause, (ii) by Executive for any reason, (iii) because of
Executive's death, or (iv) pursuant to Section 5.03, because of Executive's
disability, neither the Executive nor any beneficiary of Executive shall be
entitled to any further compensation other than the amounts described in Section
5.04(a) hereof.

                  (c) In the event of termination of Executive's employment by
the Company other than for Cause, the Company shall pay Executive, in addition
to the amounts described in Section 5.04(a) hereof, an amount equal to the value
of the continued payment of Executive's base salary for the remainder of the
Term. Such amount shall be payable, at the discretion of the Company, either (i)
in a lump sum or (ii) in equal monthly installments.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                  MISCELLANEOUS
                                  -------------

                  6.01. MITIGATION: OFFSET. In the event that an amount becomes
payable to Executive pursuant to Section 5.04(c) above, such amount shall be
reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by (i) any outstanding amounts owed by
Executive to the Company and (ii) the amount of any compensation for services
earned by Executive during the remainder of the Term, from any source, whether
paid currently or deferred. In such event, Executive shall cooperate with the
Company and shall provide such information to the Company as it may reasonably
require.

                  6.02. BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENT; BENEFICIARY. (a) This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and
their successors and assigns (but only to the extent the Agreement relates to
such entity), including, without limitation, any corporation or person which may
acquire all or substantially all of the Company's assets or business, or with or
into which the Company may be consolidated or merged. This Agreement shall also
inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Executive and his personal
or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs,
distributees, devisees and legatees. If the Executive should die while any
amount would still be payable to the Executive hereunder if he had continued to
live, all such amounts shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement to the Executive's beneficiary, devisee, legatee or other designee, or
if there is no such designee, to the Executive's estate.

                  (b) The Company shall require any successor (whether director
or indirect, by operation of law, by purchase, merger, consolidation or
otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the
Company to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same
manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it
if no such succession had taken place.

                  6.03. NOTICES. Any notice required or permitted hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be sufficiently given if personally delivered or
if sent by registered or

                                      - 4 -

notice given hereunder shall be deemed to have been given at the time of receipt
thereof by the person to whom such notice is given if personally delivered or at
the time of mailing if sent by registered or certified mail.

                  6.04. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENT. This Agreement contains the
entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the terms and conditions
of Executive's employment during the Term and supersedes any and all prior
agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, between the parties
hereto with respect to compensation due for services rendered hereunder. This
Agreement may not be changed or modified except by an instrument in writing
signed by both of the parties hereto.

                  6.05. WAIVER. The waiver of either party of a breach of any
provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a continuing
waiver or as a consent to or waiver of any subsequent breach hereof.

                  6.06. HEADINGS. The Article and Section headings herein are
for convenience of reference only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement
and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

construed and interpreted in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of
Ohio without reference to the principles of conflict of laws.

                  6.08. AGREEMENT TO TAKE ACTIONS. Each party hereto shall

instruments, and shall take such other actions, as may be reasonably necessary
or desirable in order to perform his or its obligations under this Agreement or
to effectuate the purposes hereof.

                  6.09. VENUE AND JURISDICTION. Executive shall bring any legal
action against the Company in either Butler County Court of Common Pleas, State
of Ohio, U.S.A. or in United States District Court, Southern District of Ohio
(Western Division). Executive will not pursue legal action against the Company
in any other judicial venue. Executive submits to the jurisdiction of these
courts and waives any claim of improper venue, inconvenient forum or forum non
conveniens. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, at its sole

provision or provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of any other provision or provisions of this Agreement, which

Project Bonds shall initially be dated as of September 1, 1986, and thereafter
shall be dated as of the Interest Payment Date next preceding the date of their
authentication, unless authenticated upon an Interest Payment Date in which case
they shall be dated as of the date of their authentication; provided, however,
that if at the time of authentication of any Bond interest thereon is in
default, such Bond shall be dated as of the date to which interest has been
paid. Interest on the Project Bonds shall be calculated on the basis of 360-day
years consisting of twelve 30-day months.

                Interest on the Project Bonds shall be payable as follows: for
the first Interest Period, i.e., from September 1, 1986 to and including
February 28, 1987, the Project Bonds shall bear interest at the rate of five and
one-fourth percent (5 1/4%) per annum, payable on March 1, 1987. From and after
March 1, 1987, the Project Bonds shall bear interest at the percentage per annum
(the "Six-Month Interest Rate") determined as of the Interest Rate Determination
Date immediately preceding such Interest Period (a) by the Remarketing Agent to
be that rate per annum which, if borne by all the outstanding Project Bonds,
would, in the judgment of the Remarketing Agent (taking into consideration
current transactions and comparable securities in which the Remarketing Agent is
involved or of which it is aware and prevailing financial market conditions), be
the interest rate necessary (but which would not exceed the interest rate
necessary) to produce as nearly as practical a par bid for each outstanding
Project Bond on the Interest Rate Determination Date, provided, that the
interest rate so determined shall not be more than one hundred thirty-five
percent (135%) nor less than eighty percent (80%) of the Six-Month Interest
Index for such Interest Period or (b) in the event that either the Indexing
Agent no longer computes or fails to compute the Six-Month Interest Index and no
other municipal securities evaluation service has been appointed by the Issuer,
or the Remarketing Agent has been removed and no successor appointed, by the
Trustee to be that rate per annum equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of the bond
equivalent yield of thirteen-week United States Treasury bills determined on the
basis of the average per annum discount rate at which such thirteen-week
Treasury bills shall have been sold at the most recent Treasury auction held
during the seventeen (17) Business Days ending on or including the Interest Rate
Determination Date, or, if no such auction shall have been conducted during such
seventeen (17) Business Days ending on the Business Day preceding the Interest
Rate Determination Date, the bond equivalent yield of thirteen-week United
States Treasury bills shall be determined on the basis of the arithmetic average
of the mean between the closing bid and asked per annum market discount rates
for the issue of Treasury bills or other Treasury obligations with a maturity
date closest to ninety-one (91) days from the date of quotation (selecting the
bills or other obligations with the

                                     - 17 -
<PAGE>   23
earlier maturity in the case of two issues with maturity dates equally close to
ninety-one (91) days), as reported daily on a composite basis by the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York for the first, second and third Business Days
immediately preceding the Interest Rate Determination Date. Anything herein to
the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Six-Month Interest Rate
exceed twelve percent (12%) per annum.

                The Six-Month Interest Index shall be based upon six-month yield
evaluations at par of not less than twenty (20) nor more than forty (40) issues
of securities (which may include without limitation issues of commercial paper,
project notes, bond anticipation notes and tax anticipation notes), the interest
on which is exempt from Federal income taxation (the "High Grade Component
Issues") selected by the Indexing Agent for the purpose of computing its
"Six-Month High Grade Municipal Index" which is offered generally by the
Indexing Agent to its subscribers and identified in a certificate delivered by
the Indexing Agent. The issues included in the computation of the Index, after
notice to the Issuer, the Company, the Trustee, the Remarketing Agent and the
Letter of Credit Bank may be changed, added or reduced from time to time by the
Indexing Agent. If the Issuer, the Company or the Letter of Credit Bank objects
to the proposed change, the Indexing Agent will replace, beginning with the next
computation, the issue to which an objection has been made.

                The computation of the Six-Month Interest Index by the Indexing
Agent, and the computation of the Six-Month Interest Rate by the Remarketing
Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be binding and conclusive upon the
holders of the Project Bonds.

                Anything in this Bond Legislation to the contrary
notwithstanding to the extent the Letter of Credit Bank either holds or is
pledged the Project Bonds or any portion thereof, the interest rate on such
Project Bonds shall be the Letter of Credit Bank Rate (as such term is defined
in Exhibit A to the Indenture).

                (c) Extraordinary Optional Redemption. In the event the Company
exercises its option to prepay the Loan as provided in Section 8.2(a) and 8.2(b)
of the Agreement, the Project Bonds are subject to extraordinary optional
redemption by the Issuer prior to stated maturity at any time in whole at a
redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest
to the redemption date.

                The exercise of any such prepayment option by the Company shall
be conditioned on the deposit by the Company of sufficient funds with the Letter
of Credit Bank in accordance

                                     - 18 -
<PAGE>   24
with Section 2.1 of the Agreement or waiver of such requirement by the Letter of
Credit Bank.

                Notice from the Company to the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.4
of the Agreement that the Company shall exercise its option to prepay the Loan
pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Agreement, shall constitute the direction from
the Issuer to the Trustee to call all of the then outstanding Project Bonds for
extraordinary optional redemption pursuant to this paragraph, and no separate
notice from the Issuer to the Trustee shall be required.

                (d) General Optional Redemption. Except as expressly authorized
in Section 8.2(a) and 8.2(b) of the Agreement and as required in Section 8.3 of
the Agreement, the Company shall not be entitled to prepay all or any part of
the Loan prior to March 1, 1987. The Company has an option, exercisable on any
Interest Payment Date occurring on and after March 1, 1987, upon giving notice
in accordance with Section 8.4 of the Agreement, to prepay all or part (in the
amount of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof) of the Loan Payments at a
prepayment price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be prepaid, without
penalty or premium, but with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment.

                The exercise of any such prepayment option by the Company shall
be conditioned on the deposit by the Company of sufficient funds with the Letter
of Credit Bank in accordance with Section 2.1 of the Agreement or waiver of such
requirement by the Letter of Credit Bank.

                Notice from the Company to the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.4
of the Agreement that the Company shall exercise its general option to prepay
the Loan pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Agreement, shall constitute the
direction from the Issuer to the Trustee to call all or part of the then
outstanding Project Bonds for general optional redemption pursuant to this
paragraph, and no separate notice from the Issuer to the Trustee shall be
required.

                (e) Special Mandatory Redemption Upon Unenforceability or
Taxability. The Project Bonds are also subject to special mandatory redemption
by the Issuer prior to stated maturity at any time in whole if and when (i) the
Agreement shall have become void or unenforceable or impossible of performance
in accordance with the intent and purpose of the parties as expressed in the
Agreement by reason of any changes in the Constitution of the State or the
Constitution of the United States of America or by reason of legislative or
administrative action (whether state or Federal) or any final decree, judgment
or order of any court or administrative body (whether state or Federal) entered
after the contest thereof by the Issuer or the

                                     - 19 -
<PAGE>   25
Company in good faith to the effect that the Note and the obligations evidenced
thereby are no longer enforceable by the holder thereof, or (ii) interest on the
Project Bonds shall have become subject to Federal income tax because of a
Determination of Taxability. The redemption price in any such events shall be
100% of the principal amount of the Project Bonds outstanding plus accrued
interest to the redemption date. Any such redemption shall be made not more than
120 days following the effective date of such constitutional amendment,
legislation, administrative action or decree, judgment or order, or following
the date of the Determination of Taxability (excluding any final determination
that interest is subject to Federal income tax with respect to any Project Bond
because such Project Bond is held by a "substantial user" of the Project or by a
"related person", as those terms are used in Section 103(b) of the Code). Notice
from the Company to the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.4 of the Agreement that
the Company shall prepay the Loan in full as required under Section 8.3 of the
Agreement, shall constitute the direction from the Issuer to the Trustee to call
all the then outstanding Project Bonds for special mandatory redemption pursuant
to this paragraph, and no separate notice from the Issuer to the Trustee shall
be required.

                (f) Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption. The Project Bonds are
subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption, prior to maturity, on September 1
in the years 1987 through 2016, inclusive, at the redemption price of 100% of
the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the redemption date, as
provided in Section 7 hereof.

                (g) Special Mandatory Redemption Upon Expiration of Letter of
Credit. The Project Bonds are subject to mandatory redemption in whole on the
Letter of Credit Termination Date or any subsequent date to which the Letter of
Credit Termination Date shall have been extended at a redemption price of 100%
of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the redemption date
unless, at least forty-five (45) days prior to any such Letter of Credit
Termination Date (a) the Letter of Credit Bank shall have agreed to an extension
or further extension of the Letter of Credit Termination Date to a date not
earlier than one (1) year from the Letter of Credit Termination Date being
extended or (b) the Company shall have obtained an Alternate Letter of Credit
with a termination date not earlier than one (1) year from the Letter of Credit

                                     - 20 -
<PAGE>   26
Trustee on behalf of the Issuer by mailing a copy of the redemption notice by
first class mail at least thirty days prior to the date fixed for redemption to
the registered owner of each Bond to be redeemed at the address shown on the
registration books kept by the Trustee; provided, however, that failure to give
such notice by mailing, or any defect in such notice, shall not affect the
validity of any proceedings for the redemption of the Project Bonds.

                If less than the entire unmatured portion of the Project Bonds
be called for redemption at any time or from time to time, the Project Bonds to
be redeemed shall be selected in the inverse order of their maturities, and
within any maturity the selection of such Project Bonds or portion of fully
registered Project Bonds shall be made by lot in such manner as may be
designated by the Trustee; provided, however, that if Project Bonds have been
pledged to the Letter of Credit Bank as a result of a Remarketing Drawing (as
defined in the Letter of Credit) or purchased by the Letter of Credit Bank
pursuant to the Remarketing Agreement, Project Bonds so held by the Letter of
Credit Bank will be selected for redemption by the Trustee prior to any
selection by lot.

                (i)  Place of Payment.  Bond service charges on Project
Bonds shall be payable, without deduction for services of the Paying Agent, in
the manner provided in the Project Bonds.

                (j) Execution. The Project Bonds shall be executed by at least
two members of the Legislative Authority of the Issuer, provided that any of
such signatures may be facsimiles.

                (k)  Appointment of Remarketing Agent and Indexing Agent.
The Issuer hereby appoints Gradison & Company Incorporated,
Cincinnati, Ohio, as the Remarketing Agent under the Indenture and
Kenny Information Systems, New York, New York, as Indexing Agent
under the Indenture.

                Section 4. Terms of all Bonds. All Bonds shall bear such
designation as may be necessary to distinguish them from Bonds of any other
series. Bond service charges on all Bonds shall be payable in lawful money of
the United States of America. Bonds shall be issued as fully registered Bonds.
All Bonds shall be negotiable instruments within the meaning of Chapter 165 of
the Ohio Revised Code, subject to applicable provisions for registration, and
shall express on their faces the purpose for which they are issued and such
other statements or legends as may be required by law.

                All Bonds shall be executed in the manner provided in the Bond
Legislation authorizing their issuance or in the manner provided by the
applicable law in effect at the time of their issuance. In case any officer
whose signature or a facsimile of


                                     - 21 -
<PAGE>   27
whose signature shall appear on any Bonds shall cease to be such officer before
the issuance, authentication or delivery of such Bonds, such signature or such
facsimile shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same
as if he or she had remained in office until that time.

                Unless otherwise provided in the Bond Legislation authorizing
the issuance of Additional Bonds, notice of call for redemption of all Bonds
shall be given in the manner provided in Section 3 hereof for the notice of call
for redemption of the Project Bonds. If Bonds or portions of fully registered
Bonds are duly called for redemption and if on such redemption date moneys for
the redemption of all the Bonds to be redeemed, together with accrued interest
to the redemption date, shall be held by the Trustee or Paying Agents so as to
be available therefor, then from and after such redemption date such Bonds or
portions of fully registered Bonds shall cease to bear interest.

                Section 5. Security Pledged for Bonds. As provided herein, the
Project Bonds shall be equally and ratably payable solely from the Pledged
Receipts and secured by a pledge of and lien on moneys deposited in the
Construction Fund and the Bond Fund, and a pledge and assignment of other moneys
constituting Pledged Receipts, and further secured by the Indenture and by the
pledge and assignment of the Note and by the Mortgage, the Assignment of Rents,
the Security Agreement and the Guarantee; and anything in this Bond Legislation,
the Bonds, the Agreement, Mortgage and the Assignment of Rents or the Indenture
to the contrary notwithstanding, neither this Bond Legislation, the Bonds, the
Agreement, Mortgage, the Security Agreement, the Assignment of Rents nor the
Indenture shall constitute a debt or a pledge of the faith and credit of the
Issuer or of the State or any political subdivision thereof and the holders or
owners of the Bonds shall have no right to have taxes levied by the General
Assembly of the State or the taxing authority of the Issuer or of any other
political subdivision of the State for the payment of the principal of, premium,
if any, or interest on the Bonds, but such Bonds are payable solely from the
Pledged Receipts and the Bonds shall contain on the face thereof a statement to
that effect.

                Section 6. Sale of Project Bonds; Allocation of Purchase Price.
The Executive and Fiscal Officer are hereby authorized and directed to offer for
sale the Project Bonds to the Original Purchaser for purchase by the Original
Purchaser at the price set forth in the Bond Purchase Agreement, plus accrued
interest, in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Bond Legislation,
and to make the necessary arrangements on behalf of the Issuer with the Original
Purchaser to establish the date, location, procedure and conditions for the
delivery of the Project Bonds to the Original Purchaser. The Executive and
Fiscal Officer further are hereby authorized and directed to


                                     - 22 -
<PAGE>   28
take all steps necessary to effect due authentication, delivery and security of
the Project Bonds under the terms of this Bond Legislation and the Indenture,
and it is hereby determined that the aforesaid purchase price and the interest
rate for the Project Bonds and the manner of sale, as provided in this Bond
Legislation, are in compliance with all legal requirements. The Clerk of the
Legislative Authority shall furnish to the Original Purchaser a true transcript
of proceedings had with reference to the issuance of the Project Bonds,
certified by him or her, along with such information from his or her records as
is necessary to determine the regularity and validity of the issuance of said
Bonds.

                The distribution of a Preliminary Offering Circular relating to
the Project Bonds is ratified and approved hereby. The use and distribution of a
final Offering Circular, relating to the original issuance of the Bonds,
substantially in the form now on file with the Issuer and any supplements
thereto is authorized hereby. The Issuer has not confirmed, and assumes no
responsibility for the accuracy, sufficiency or fairness of, any statements in
the Preliminary Offering Circular or the final Offering Circular or any
supplements thereto, or in any reports, financial information, offering or
disclosure documents or other information in any way relating to the Project,
the Company, the Letter of Credit Bank, the Remarketing Agent, the Indexing
Agent or the Original Purchaser.

                At the time of issuance, delivery of and payment for the Project
Bonds, the Bond Fund Payment shall be deposited from the purchase price for the
Project Bonds into the Bond Fund.

                There is hereby created by the Issuer and ordered maintained as
a separate deposit account (except when invested as hereinafter provided) in the
custody of the Trustee a trust fund to be designated "County of Butler,
Ohio--O'Gara-Hess & Eisenhardt Armoring Company Limited Partnership Construction
Fund" (herein called the "Construction Fund"). The Bond proceeds, after payment
of bond discounts, shall be used to fund the Bond Fund with the Bond Fund
Payment and the balance to fund the Construction Fund. Moneys in the
Construction Fund shall be disbursed by the Trustee in accordance with the
provisions of the Agreement, and the Trustee is hereby authorized and directed
to issue its check for each disbursement required by the provisions of the
Agreement. The Issuer covenants and agrees promptly to take whatever action, if
any, is necessary in approving and ordering all such disbursements.

                The moneys to the credit of the Construction Fund shall, pending
application thereof as above set forth, be subject to a lien and charge in favor
of the holders of the Project Bonds, but only to the extent of their interest
therein.

                                     - 23 -
<PAGE>   29
                Moneys in the Construction Fund shall be applied to payment of
the costs of acquiring, constructing, furnishing and equipping the Project in
accordance with the Agreement. Any moneys remaining in the Construction Fund
after payment of such costs will be applied as provided in Section 4.2(g) of the
Agreement.

                Moneys in the Construction Fund can be disbursed by the Trustee
only in accordance with the Disbursement Agreement.

                There is hereby also created by the Issuer and ordered
maintained as a separate deposit account in the custody of the Trustee, a trust
fund to be designated "County of Butler, Ohio--O'Gara-Hess & Eisenhardt Armoring
Company Limited Partnership Excess Investment Earnings Account" (the "Excess
Investment Earnings Account") and therein a Principal Subaccount and an Interest
Subaccount as provided in the Indenture.

                Section 7. Source of Payment - Bond Fund. As provided in the
Agreement, moneys sufficient in time and amount to pay the Bond service charges
as they come due are to be drawn by the Trustee from the Letter of Credit Bank
pursuant to the Letter of Credit (or paid by the Company directly to the
Trustee, including payments received on the Note) for the account of the Issuer
and deposited in the Bond Fund. Under the provisions of the Agreement, payments
with respect to the Note received by the Trustee shall be deposited into the
Reimbursement Account in the Bond Fund for the account of the Issuer and shall
constitute Loan Payments.

                There is hereby created by the Issuer and ordered maintained, as
a separate deposit account (except when invested as hereinafter provided) in the
custody of the Trustee, a trust fund to be designated "County of Butler,
Ohio--O'Gara-Hess & Eisenhardt Armoring Company Limited Partnership Revenue Bond
Fund" (herein called the "Bond Fund"). The Bond Fund (and accounts therein
provided for in the Indenture or in the Agreement) and the moneys and
investments therein are hereby pledged to and shall be used for the payment of
Bond service charges, all as provided herein and in the Indenture and the
Agreement, provided that no part thereof (except as may otherwise be provided
for herein and in the Indenture or the Agreement) shall be used to redeem or
purchase, prior to maturity, any Bonds.

                On or before each date when Bond service charges are due and
payable, the Trustee shall transmit from moneys in the Bond Fund applicable
thereto to any other Paying Agents, as appropriate, amounts sufficient to meet
payments to be made by them of Bond service charges then to be due and payable;
provided that to the extent that the amount needed by any other Paying Agent is
not sufficiently predictable, the Trustee may


                                     - 24 -
<PAGE>   30
make such credit arrangements with such Paying Agent as to permit meeting such
payments.

                There shall be deposited into the Bond Fund (and credited, if
required by the Indenture or the Agreement, to appropriate accounts therein), as
and when received, (a) all Loan Payments, (b) all moneys drawn by the Trustee
under the Letter of Credit for the payment of principal of or interest on the
Project Bonds, and (c) all other Pledged Receipts, except those amounts required
by the Indenture or the Agreement to be deposited in the Construction Fund or
any other separate insurance or condemnation proceeds account.

                As and for the Mandatory Sinking Fund Requirements for the
retirement, by mandatory redemption pursuant to Section 3 hereof, of the Project
Bonds the aggregate of the Loan Payments specified in Section 2.1 of the
Agreement which are to be deposited in the Bond Fund on or before each Loan
Payment Date (as defined in the Agreement) shall include amounts sufficient to
redeem on each corresponding Mandatory Redemption Date the principal amount of
Project Bonds set opposite the appropriate year in the Bond Purchase Agreement
and Exhibit A to the Indenture. For the purpose of effecting said mandatory
redemption the Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, and without necessity for
further action by the Company, shall cause to be redeemed, in the manner
provided in Section 3 hereof, on each Mandatory Redemption Date such an
aggregate principal amount of the Project Bonds as equals the Mandatory Sinking
Fund Requirements as provided for above in this Section 7 for the applicable
Mandatory Redemption Date; provided, however, that Loan Payments shall be
decreased by credits for the Bond Fund Payment, for the proceeds of business
interruption insurance deposited in the Bond Fund, for the amount of any
penalties or liquidated damages received or withheld under construction
contracts and deposited in the Bond Fund, and for certain Project Bonds
theretofore redeemed by the Trustee or delivered to the Trustee by the Company,
all in accordance with Sections 2.1 and 2.10 of the Agreement.

                The Issuer hereby covenants and agrees that so long as any of
the Bonds are outstanding it will deposit or cause to be deposited in the Bond
Fund, Pledged Receipts sufficient in time and amount to pay the Bond service
charges as the same become due and payable, and to this end the Issuer covenants
and agrees that, so long as any Bonds are outstanding, it will diligently and
promptly proceed in good faith and use its best efforts to enforce the
Agreement, and that, should there be an event of default under the Agreement,
the Issuer shall fully cooperate with the Trustee and with the Bondholders to
protect fully the rights and security of the Bondholders hereunder. Nothing
herein shall be construed as requiring the Issuer to use or


                                     - 25 -
<PAGE>   31
apply to the payment of Bond service charges any funds or revenues from any
source other than Pledged Receipts.

                The Issuer covenants and agrees, whenever the moneys and
investments in the Bond Fund (or otherwise held by the Trustee for such purpose)
are sufficient in amount to redeem all of the Bonds then outstanding and to pay
interest to accrue thereon to the date or dates of such redemption, to take and
cause to be taken, at the direction of the Company, the necessary steps to
redeem all of said Bonds on the next succeeding redemption date or dates for
which the required notice of call for redemption may be given.

                Section 8. Additional Bonds. At the request of the Company with
the prior written consent of the Letter of Credit Bank, which consent may be
withheld in its absolute discretion, if the Company is not then in default under
the Agreement, upon delivery to the Trustee of an irrevocable letter of credit,
substantially in the form of the Letter of Credit, the Issuer, to the extent
permitted by law (including the Act) then in effect and for purposes consistent
with the Act, shall use its best efforts to issue Additional Bonds from time to
time to provide loans to the Company for: (i) completion of the Project,
including additional costs incurred in acquiring, constructing and equipping the
Project, or (ii) restoring or repairing the Project following any condemnation
thereof or damage thereto to the extent the Net Proceeds of any insurance or
condemnation award are insufficient to pay for same, or (iii) acquiring or
constructing improvements to the Project, (iv) refunding the Project Bonds or
any one or more series of Additional Bonds, or (v) any combination of the
foregoing; provided, that the proceeds of any Additional Bonds shall, except to
the extent issued for the purpose described in clause (iv), be used solely to
pay permissible costs under the Act. Such Additional Bonds shall be on a parity
with the Project Bonds and any Additional Bonds theretofore or thereafter
issued, except with respect to any moneys drawn by the Trustee under the Letter
of Credit and deposited in the Bond Fund, which shall be used only for the
payment of principal of and interest on the Project Bonds. Before any Additional
Bonds are authenticated there shall be delivered to the Trustee the items
required by Section 2.08 of the Indenture and (a) any necessary amendment of the
Agreement to provide for increased Loan Payments so that the aggregate of the
Loan Payments thereafter payable under the Agreement shall be sufficient in
amount to make all required payments into the Bond Fund in order to pay when due
Bond service charges on all Bonds then to be outstanding, and for all Additional
Payments (as defined in the Agreement) by the Company under the provisions of
the Agreement and the Bond Legislation, and (b) either the opinion of nationally
recognized bond counsel or a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service of the
United States Department of Treasury that the issuance of such series of


                                     - 26 -
<PAGE>   32
Additional Bonds will not adversely affect the exemption from Federal income
taxation of the interest paid or payable on any outstanding Bonds.

                Section 9. Covenants of Issuer. In addition to other covenants
of the Issuer contained in this Bond Legislation and the Indenture, the Issuer
further covenants and agrees as follows:

                (a) Payment of Bond Service Charges. The Issuer will, solely
from Pledged Receipts pay or cause to be paid the Bond service charges on each
and all Bonds on the dates, at the places and in the manner provided herein, in
the applicable Bond Legislation and in the Bonds.

                (b) Performance of Covenants, Authority and Actions. The Issuer
will at all times faithfully observe and perform all agreements, covenants,
undertakings, stipulations and provisions contained in the Bond Legislation, the
Agreement, the Indenture and in any and every Bond executed, authenticated and
delivered under the Indenture, and in all proceedings of the Issuer pertaining
to the Bonds, the Indenture or the Agreement. The Issuer warrants and covenants
that it is, and upon delivery of the Project Bonds will be, duly authorized by
the Constitution and laws of the State, including particularly and without
limitation the Act, to issue the Project Bonds and to execute the Indenture, the
Agreement and the Bond Purchase Agreement, to provide the security for payment
of the Bond service charges in the manner and to the extent herein and in the
Indenture set forth; that all actions on its part for the issuance of the
Project Bonds and execution and delivery of the Indenture, the Agreement and the
Bond Purchase Agreement have been or will be duly and effectively taken; and
that the Project Bonds in the hands of the holders thereof will be valid and
enforceable special obligations of the Issuer according to the terms thereof.
Each provision of this Bond Legislation, the Indenture, the Agreement, the Bond
Purchase Agreement and the Bonds is binding upon each such officer of the Issuer
as may from time to time have the authority under law to take such actions as
may be necessary to perform all or any part of the duties required by such
provision; and each duty of the Issuer and of its officers undertaken pursuant
to such proceedings for the issuance of the Bonds is established as a duty of
the Issuer and of each such officer having authority to perform such duty,
specifically enjoined by law and resulting from an office, trust, or station
within the meaning of Section 2731.01 of the Ohio Revised Code, providing for
enforcement by writ of mandamus.

                (c) Pledged Receipts. Except as otherwise provided in this Bond
Legislation, the Indenture and the Agreement, the Issuer will not create or
suffer to be created any debt, lien or charge thereon, or make any pledge or
assignment of or create any debt, lien or


                                     - 27 -
<PAGE>   33
charge thereon, or make any pledge or assignment of or create any lien or
encumbrance upon the Pledged Receipts, including the moneys in the Bond Fund and
Construction Fund, other than the pledge and assignment thereof under this Bond
Legislation, the Indenture and the Agreement.

                (d) Recordings and Filings. The Issuer will, at the expense of
the Company, cause (to the extent required by the laws of the State to perfect
such instruments and/or the lien created thereby) all necessary financing
statements, amendments thereto, continuation statements and instruments of
similar character relating to the pledges and assignments made by it to secure
the Bonds, to be recorded and filed in such manner and in such places and to the
extent required by law in order to fully preserve and protect the security of
the holders of the Bonds and the rights of the Trustee under the Indenture.

                (e) Inspection of Project Books. All books and documents in the
Issuer's possession relating to the Project or the Pledged Receipts shall at all
times be open to inspection by such accountants or other agents of the Trustee
or the Letter of Credit Bank as the Trustee or the Letter of Credit Bank may
from time to time designate.

                (f) Rights under Agreement. The Trustee, in its name or in the
name of the Issuer, may, for and on behalf of the Bondholders, enforce all
rights of the Issuer and all obligations of the Company under and pursuant to
the Agreement and Note, whether or not the Issuer is in default of the pursuit
or enforcement of such rights and obligations.

                (g) Maintenance of Agreement. The Issuer shall do all things and
take all actions on its part necessary to comply with the obligations, duties
and responsibilities on the part of the Issuer under the Agreement, and will
take all actions within its authority to maintain the Agreement in effect in
accordance with the terms thereof and to enforce and protect the rights of the
Issuer thereunder, including actions at law and in equity, as may be
appropriate.

                (h) Arbitrage Provisions. The Issuer will, to the extent that it
is in a position to control or direct such matters, restrict the use of the
proceeds of the Project Bonds in such manner and to such extent, if any, as may
be necessary, after taking into account reasonable expectations at the time the
Project Bonds are delivered to the Original Purchaser, so that they will not
constitute "arbitrage bonds" under Section 103(c) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1954, as amended, and the regulations promulgated under that section. The
Fiscal Officer or any other officer having responsibility with respect to the
issuance of the Project Bonds, is authorized and directed, alone


                                     - 28 -
<PAGE>   34
or in conjunction with any of the foregoing or with any other officer, employee,
consultant or agent of the Legislative Authority, or any partner of the Company,
and upon receipt of satisfactory indemnities, to give an appropriate certificate
on behalf of the Issuer, for inclusion in the transcript of proceedings for the
Project Bonds, setting forth the facts, estimates and circumstances and
reasonable expectations pertaining to said Section 103(c) and regulations
thereunder. The Issuer also will, to the extent it is in a position to control
or direct such matters, comply with Section 103(c)(6) of the Code.

                Section 10. Investment of Bond Fund and Construction Fund.
Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, moneys in the Bond Fund and the
Construction Fund shall be invested and reinvested by the Trustee in Eligible
Investments, in accordance with and subject to the orders (if verbal, to be
confirmed in writing) of the Authorized Company Representative with respect
thereto, provided that investments of moneys in the Bond Fund shall mature or be
redeemable at the option of the Trustee at the times and in the amounts
necessary to provide moneys hereunder to pay Bond service charges as they fall
due at stated maturity or by redemption or pursuant to any Mandatory Sinking
Fund Requirements, and further provided that moneys in the Reimbursement Account
in the Bond Fund shall mature or be redeemable at the option of the Trustee at
the times and in the amounts necessary to reimburse the Letter of Credit Bank
for draws under the Letter of Credit, and provided that each investment of
moneys in the Construction Fund shall in any event mature or be redeemable at
the option of the Trustee at such time as may be necessary to make timely
payments from said Construction Fund. Any such investments may be purchased from
the Trustee or its affiliates. The Trustee shall sell or redeem investments
standing to the credit of the Bond Fund to produce sufficient moneys hereunder
at the times required for the purpose of paying Bond service charges when due as
aforesaid, and shall do so without necessity for any order on behalf of the
Issuer and without restriction by reason of any such order. For purposes of the
Indenture and this Bond Legislation, such investments shall be valued at face
amount or market value, whichever is less.

                Section 11. Indenture, Agreement and Bond Purchase Agreement. In
order better to secure the payment of the Bond service charges as the same shall
become due and payable, each member of the Legislative Authority is hereby
authorized and directed, on behalf of the Issuer, to execute and deliver the
Indenture, the Agreement and the Bond Purchase Agreement in substantially the
forms submitted to the Issuer, and to endorse upon the Note the assignment
thereof to the Trustee, which instruments are hereby approved, with such changes
therein not inconsistent with this Bond Legislation and not substantially


                                     - 29 -
<PAGE>   35
adverse to the Issuer as may be permitted by the Act and approved by the
officers executing the same. The approval of such changes by said officers, and
that such are not substantially adverse to the Issuer, shall be conclusively
evidenced by the execution of the Indenture, the Agreement and the Bond Purchase
Agreement respectively, and by endorsement of the Note, by such officers.

                This Bond Legislation shall constitute a part of the Indenture
as therein provided and for all purposes of said Indenture, including, without
limitation thereto, application to this Bond Legislation of the provisions in
the Indenture relating to amendment, modification and supplementation, and
provisions for severability.

                Section 12. Other Documents. Each member of the Legislative
Authority and/or the Fiscal Officer are hereby further authorized and directed
to execute financing statements, other assignments and any other instruments as
are, in the opinion of bond counsel to the Issuer, necessary to perfect the
pledges set forth in the Indenture and to consummate the transactions provided
for in the Indenture, the Agreement and the Bond Purchase Agreement.

                Section 13. Compliance with Section 121.22, Ohio Revised Code.
It is hereby found and determined that all formal actions of this Legislative
Authority concerning and relating to the passage of this Bond Legislation were
taken in an open meeting of this Legislative Authority, and that all
deliberations of this Legislative Authority and of any of its committees, if
any, that resulted in such formal action, were taken in meetings open to the
public, in full compliance with applicable legal requirements, including Section
121.22 of the Ohio Revised Code.

                Section 14. Prevailing Rates of Wages. All laborers and
mechanics employed on the Project shall be paid at the prevailing rates of wages
of laborers and mechanics for the class of work called for by the Project, which
wages shall be determined in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 4115 of
the Ohio Revised Code, for determination of prevailing wages, provided that
should the Company or other nonpublic user beneficiary of the Project undertake,
as part of the Project, construction to be performed by its regular collective
bargaining unit employees who are covered under a collective bargaining
agreement which was in existence prior to the date of the commitment instrument
undertaking to issue the Project Bonds, then, in that event, the rate of pay
provided under the collective bargaining agreement may be paid to such
employees.

                Section 15. Election by Issuer. The Issuer hereby elects with
respect to the Project Bonds to be within the 


                                     - 30 -
<PAGE>   36
limitations imposed by the provisions of Section 103(b)(6)(D) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1954, as enacted by Public Law 90-634, as amended, and the
Executive or Fiscal Officer is hereby authorized and directed to perform any and
all acts and provide such information as may be required by the Secretary of the
Treasury, his delegate or the Internal Revenue Service in order to implement
such election, and any and all acts heretofore taken pertaining to such election
and relating to such requirements are hereby ratified and confirmed.

                Section 16. Temporary Project Bonds. Pending the preparation of
definitive Project Bonds, the Issuer may execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver temporary Project Bonds in printed or typewritten form.
Temporary Project Bonds shall be issuable in fully registered form, of any
denomination, and substantially in the form of the definitive Project Bonds but
with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for
temporary Project Bonds, all as may be determined by the Fiscal Officer, his
execution of any such temporary Project Bonds to be conclusive evidence of his
determinations as aforesaid. Every temporary Project Bond shall be executed on
behalf of the Issuer, and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same
conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the
definitive Project Bonds. If one or more temporary Project Bonds are issued,
then without unnecessary delay the Issuer shall execute and furnish definitive
Project Bonds and thereupon temporary Project Bonds may be surrendered to the
Trustee in exchange therefor without charge to the holder thereof, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Project
Bonds an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Project Bonds. Until so
exchanged the temporary Project Bonds shall be entitled to the same benefits
under the Indenture as definitive Project Bonds.

                Section 17. Approval Pursuant to Section 103(k) of the Code. For
purposes of complying with Section 103(k) of the Code, the Legislative Authority
hereby approves the issuance of the Project Bonds in the maximum aggregate
principal amount of $2,300,000 and the acquisition, construction and equipping
of an approximately 85,000 square foot facility for the manufacture of armored
automobiles, located on a 7.6 acre tract at the Northwest corner of the
intersection of Le Saint Drive and Thunderbird Road, Union Township, Butler

                            [FORM OF REVERSE OF BOND]

            This Bond is one of a duly authorized issue of Variable Rate Demand
Economic Development Revenue Bonds, Series 1986 (O'Gara-Hess & Eisenhardt
Armoring Company Limited Partnership Project) (the "Bonds"), issuable under the
Trust Indenture, dated as of September 1, 1986 (the "Indenture"), between the
Issuer and the Trustee, aggregating in principal amount $2,300,000 and issued
for the purpose of making a loan (the "Loan") to assist O'Gara-Hess & Eisenhardt
Armoring Company Limited Partnership (the "Company") in the financing of costs
of a Project, as defined in the Loan Agreement, dated as of September 1, 1986
(the "Agreement"), between the Issuer and the Company. The Bonds, together with
any Additional Bonds which may be issued on a parity therewith under the
Indenture (collectively, the "Bonds"), are special obligations of the Issuer,
issued or to be issued under and are to be secured and entitled equally and
ratably to the protection given by the Indenture. The Bonds are issued pursuant
to Section 13 of Article VIII of the Constitution of the State of Ohio and to
the laws of that State, particularly Chapter 165, Ohio Revised Code, and to a
resolution duly adopted by the Board of County Commissioners of the Issuer.

            Reference is made to the Indenture for a more complete description
of the Project, the provisions, among others, with respect to the nature and
extent of the security for the Bonds, the rights, duties and obligations of the
Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Bonds, and the terms and conditions
upon which the Bonds are issued and secured. Each Holder assents, by its
acceptance hereof, to all of the provisions of the Indenture.

            Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company has executed and delivered to
the Issuer, and the Issuer has endorsed to the Trustee the Company's promissory
note, dated as of September 1, 1986 (the "Note"), in the principal amount of
$2,300,000. The Company is required by the Agreement and the Note to make
payments to the Trustee in the amounts and at the times necessary to pay the
principal of and interest and any premium (the "Bond service charges") on the
Bonds. The Company's obligations thereunder are secured by the Open-End Mortgage
and Security Agreement, dated as of September 1, 1986 (the "Mortgage"), from the
Company to the Trustee and The Central Trust Company, N.A., Cincinnati, Ohio
(the "Letter of Credit Bank") and by an Assignment of Rents and Leases, dated as
of September 1, 1986, from the Company to the Trustee and the Letter of Credit
Bank (the "Assignment of Rents"). In the Indenture, the Issuer has assigned to
the Trustee, to provide for the payment of the Bond service charges on the
Bonds, the Issuer's right, title and interest in and to the Agreement,


                                     - 37 -
<PAGE>   43
except for Unassigned Issuer's Rights as defined in the Agreement.

            Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company has caused to be issued and
delivered to the Trustee by the Letter of Credit Bank an irrevocable letter of
credit (the "Letter of Credit"), pursuant to which the Trustee is entitled to
draw up to (a) the principal amount of the Bonds outstanding to enable the
Trustee to pay (i) the principal amount of the Bonds when due at maturity or
upon redemption or acceleration and (ii) an amount equal to the purchase price
of any Bonds tendered for purchase by the Holders thereof which cannot be
remarketed by the Remarketing Agent, plus (b) the amount of interest due on the
Bonds but not to exceed one hundred ninety-five (195) days maximum accrued
interest (at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum) to enable the Trustee
to pay interest due on the Bonds, plus (c) the amount of any discount (not to
exceed 2%) at which Bonds are remarketed. To provide for the issuance of the
Letter of Credit, the Company has entered into a Letter of Credit Agreement,
dated as of September 1, 1986 (the Letter of Credit Agreement is hereinafter
referred to as the "Reimbursement Agreement"), with the Letter of Credit Bank
pursuant to which the Company is obligated to reimburse the Letter of Credit
Bank for all drawings made under the Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit
shall expire on September 2, 1991, unless extended, and may be replaced by an
Alternate Letter of Credit (as defined in the Indenture). The issuer of the
Alternate Letter of Credit must satisfy the requirements of Section 4.16 of the
Indenture. As used herein, the term "Letter of Credit" shall refer to the Letter
of Credit and any Alternate Letter of Credit.

            The Company has also entered into a Security Agreement dated as of
September 1, 1986, from the Company to the Trustee and the Letter of Credit Bank
(the "Security Agreement"), and the corporate general partners of the Company
have entered into a Guarantee Agreement, dated as of September 1, 1986, from
such general partners to the Trustee and the Letter of Credit Bank (the
"Guarantee Agreement").

            Copies of the Indenture, the Agreement, the Mortgage, the Note, the
Letter of Credit, the Security Agreement, the Guarantee Agreement, the
Reimbursement Agreement and the Assignment of Rents are on file at the principal
corporate trust office of the Trustee.

            The Bond service charges on the Bonds are payable solely from the
Pledged Receipts, as defined and as provided in the Indenture (being, primarily,
the amounts to be drawn on the Letter of Credit to pay Bond service charges),
and are an obligation of the Issuer only to the extent of such Pledged Receipts.



                                     - 38 -
<PAGE>   44
THE BONDS ARE NOT SECURED BY AN OBLIGATION OR PLEDGE OF ANY MONEYS RAISED BY
TAXATION AND DO NOT REPRESENT OR CONSTITUTE A DEBT OR PLEDGE OF THE FAITH AND
CREDIT OF THE ISSUER, THE STATE OF OHIO OR ANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OR TAXING
DISTRICT OF THE STATE OF OHIO.

            The Bonds are issuable only as fully registered bonds in the
denominations of $5,000 and any integral multiple thereof and are exchangeable
for Bonds of other authorized denominations in equal aggregate principal amounts
at the office of the Registrar specified on the face hereof, but only in the
manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture. This Bond is
transferrable at the office of the Registrar, by the Holder in person or by his
attorney, duly authorized in writing, upon presentation and surrender hereof to
the Registrar. The Registrar is not required to transfer or exchange any Bond
during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any Interest
Payment Date.

            This Bond is subject to changes in certain terms as described below.

            PART I. INITIAL FIXED INTEREST RATE.

            For the first Interest Period, i.e., from September 1, 1986 to and
including February 28, 1987, the Project Bonds shall bear interest at the rate
of five and one-fourth percent (5 1/4%) per annum, payable on March 1, 1987.

            PART II. SIX-MONTH INTEREST RATE PROVISIONS.

            From and after March 1, 1987, the Bonds shall bear interest at the
percentage per annum (the "Six-Month Interest Rate") determined as of the
Interest Rate Determination Date immediately preceding such Interest Period (a)
by the Remarketing Agent to be that rate per annum which, if borne by all the
outstanding Bonds, would, in the judgment of the Remarketing Agent (taking into
consideration current transactions and comparable securities in which the
Remarketing Agent is involved or of which it is aware and prevailing financial
market conditions), be the interest rate necessary (but which would not exceed
the interest rate necessary) to produce as nearly as practical a par bid for
each outstanding Bond on the Interest Rate Determination Date, provided, that
the interest rate so determined shall not be more than one hundred thirty-five
percent (135%) nor less than eighty percent (80%) of the Six-Month Interest
Index for such Interest Period or (b) in the event that either the Indexing
Agent no longer computes, or fails to compute, the Six-Month Interest Index and
no other municipal securities evaluation service has been appointed by the
Issuer, or the Remarketing Agent has been removed and no successor appointed, by
the Trustee to be that rate per annum to



                                     - 39 -
<PAGE>   45
be equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of the bond equivalent yield of
thirteen-week United States Treasury bills determined on the basis of the
average per annum discount rate at which such thirteen-week Treasury bills shall
have been sold at the most recent Treasury auction held during the seventeen
(17) Business Days ending on and including the Interest Rate Determination Date,
or, if no such auction shall have been conducted during such seventeen (17)
Business Days ending on the Business Day preceding the Interest Rate
Determination Date, the bond equivalent yield of thirteen-week United States
Treasury bills shall be determined on the basis of the arithmetic average of the
mean between the closing bid and asked per annum market discount rates for the
issue of Treasury bills or other Treasury obligations with a maturity date
closest to ninety-one (91) days from the date of quotation (selecting the bills
or other obligations with the earlier maturity in the case of two issues with
maturity dates equally close to ninety-one (91) days), as reported daily on a
composite basis by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for the first, second
and third Business Days immediately preceding the Interest Rate Determination
Date. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the
Six-Month Interest Rate exceed twelve percent (12%) per annum. The term
"Interest Rate Determination Date", as used herein, means the twelfth Business
Day preceding the commencement of each Interest Period.

            The Six-Month Interest Index shall be based upon six-month yield
evaluations at par of not less than twenty (20) nor more than forty (40) issues
of securities (which may include without limitation issues of commercial paper,
project notes, bond anticipation notes and tax anticipation notes), the interest
on which is exempt from Federal income taxation (the "High Grade Component
Issuers") selected by the Indexing Agent for the purpose of computing its
"Six-Month High Grade Municipal Index" which is offered generally by the
Indexing Agent to its subscribers. The issues included in the computation of the
index after notice to the Issuer, the Company, the Trustee, the Remarketing
Agent and the Letter of Credit Bank may be changed, increased or reduced from
time to time by the Indexing Agent. If the Issuer, the Company or the Letter of
Credit Bank objects to the proposed change, the Indexing Agent will replace,
beginning with the next computation, the issue to which an objection has been
made.

            The computation of the Six-Month Interest Index by the Indexing
Agent, and the computation of the Six-Month Interest Rate by the Remarketing
Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be binding and conclusive upon the
Holders of the Bonds.

            PART III. INTEREST RATE WITH RESPECT TO BONDS HELD BY OR PLEDGED BY
THE COMPANY TO THE LETTER OF CREDIT BANK PURSUANT TO REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT.



                                     - 40 -
<PAGE>   46
            Anything in this Bond to the contrary notwithstanding, the interest
rate on any Bond held by or pledged to the Letter of Credit Bank by virtue of
the Reimbursement Agreement will be equal to a rate per annum equal to the Prime
Rate plus one and one-half percent (1-1/2%).

            PART IV. TENDER OPTIONS.

            On March 1, 1987, and on any Interest Payment Date thereafter, any
Bond or portion thereof in the amount of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof
(except for any Bond or portion of any Bond called for redemption on such date
or previously called for redemption) shall be purchased, but only from the
sources hereinafter specified, by the Remarketing Agent, at the option of the
Holder thereof, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount
thereof, upon:

                  (a) delivery to the Remarketing Agent, at its principal
            office, at or prior to 4:00 P.M., local time, on the eighth Business
            Day prior to such Interest Payment Date of a written notice which
            (i) states the principal amount of such Bond (or portion thereof),
            the number thereof and the name of the registered owner thereof and
            (ii) states that such Bond (or portion thereof) is to be so
            purchased on such Interest Payment Date; and

                  (b) delivery of such Bond, assigned in blank, to the
            Remarketing Agent, at its principal office, at or prior to 11:00
            A.M., local time, on the fifth Business Day immediately preceding
            such Interest Payment Date.

Payment for Bonds purchased by the Remarketing Agent shall be made with the
following funds, which shall be applied in the following order: (a) proceeds of
the remarketing of such Bonds by the Remarketing Agent, (b) proceeds of a draw
under the Letter of Credit, or (c) a combination of the foregoing.

            In the event the Company or the Letter of Credit Bank should fail to
make any required payment for the purchase price of any unmarketed Bonds, such
failure shall constitute an Event of Default and the Trustee have the remedies
set forth in Article VI of the Indenture.

            The Issuer has appointed Gradison & Company Incorporated,
Cincinnati, Ohio, as the initial Remarketing Agent. The Issuer may, from time to
time, at the direction of the Company, remove or replace the Remarketing Agent.

            There shall be no purchase of Bonds by the Remarketing Agent if
there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of


                                     - 41 -
<PAGE>   47
Default under the Indenture of which the Remarketing Agent has received written
notice. The Remarketing Agent's obligations are set forth in an Remarketing
Agreement dated as of September 1, 1986, among the Remarketing Agent, the
Company, the Letter of Credit Bank, and the Trustee (the "Remarketing
Agreement").

            The Issuer has appointed Kenny Information Systems as the initial
Indexing Agent under the Indenture. The Issuer may from time to time, at the
direction of the Company, remove the Indexing Agent and appoint a different
nationally recognized municipal securities evaluation service to serve as
Indexing Agent.

            PART V. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

            On March 1, 1987, and on any Interest Payment Date thereafter, the
Bonds are subject to redemption in whole or in part (in integral multiples of
$5,000) by the Issuer, at the Company's option, at a redemption price equal to
100% of the principal amount to be redeemed, plus accrued interest to the
redemption date, but without penalty or premium.

            The Bonds are subject to mandatory redemption by the Issuer in whole
on September 1, 1991, or any Interest Payment Date thereafter which next
precedes a Letter of Credit Termination Date (as defined in the Indenture) or a
subsequent date to which the Letter of Credit Termination Date shall have been
extended (or if the Letter of Credit Termination Date is on an Interest Payment
Date, then such date), at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount
thereof plus accrued interest to the redemption date unless, at least forty-five
(45) days prior to such Interest Payment Date (a) the Letter of Credit Bank
shall have agreed to an extension or further extension of the Letter of Credit
Termination Date to a date not earlier than one (1) year from the Letter of
Credit Termination Date being extended or (b) the Company shall have obtained an
Alternate Letter of Credit with a termination date not earlier than one (1) year
from the Letter of Credit Termination Date for the Letter of Credit it replaces.

            The Bonds are subject to redemption prior to stated maturity
pursuant to first class mailed notice thereof given 30 days prior to the
redemption date, as follows:

            1. The Bonds are subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption at a

* Final Maturity

            2. The Bonds are subject to mandatory redemption prior to stated
maturity at any time in whole at a redemption price of 100% of the principal
amount thereof plus accrued interest to the redemption date if and when (i) the
Agreement shall have become void or unenforceable or impossible of performance
in accordance with the intent and purpose of the parties as expressed in the
Agreement by reason of any changes in the Constitution of the State or the
Constitution of the United States of America or by reason of legislative or
administrative action (whether state or Federal) or any final decree, judgment
or order of any court or administrative body (whether state or Federal) entered
after the contest thereof by the Issuer or the Company in good faith to the
effect that the Note and the obligations evidenced thereby are no longer
enforceable by the holder thereof, or (ii) interest on the Bonds shall have
become subject to Federal income tax because of a






                                     - 43 -
<PAGE>   49
Determination of Taxability (as defined in the Indenture). Any such redemption
shall be made not more than 120 days following the effective date of such
constitutional amendment, legislation, administrative action or decree, judgment
or order, or following the date of the Determination of Taxability (excluding
any final determination that interest is subject to Federal income tax with
respect to any Bond because such Bond is held by a "substantial user" of the
Project or by a "related person", as those terms are used in Section 103(b)(13)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended.).

            3. The Bonds are also subject to redemption in whole at a redemption
price of 100% of the principal amount redeemed plus accrued interest to the
redemption date at the option of the Company, in the event of damage,
destruction or condemnation of the Project as provided in the Agreement.

            If less than all Bonds are to be redeemed at one time, the selection
of Bonds, or portions thereof in amounts of $5,000 or any integral multiple
thereof, to be redeemed shall be made by lot by the Trustee; provided, however,
that if Bonds are held by or have been pledged to the Letter of Credit Bank as a
result of a Remarketing Drawing (as defined in the Letter of Credit), Bonds so
held by the Letter of Credit Bank will be selected for redemption by the Trustee
prior to any selection by lot. If Bonds or portions thereof are called for
redemption and if on the redemption date moneys for the redemption thereof are
held by the Trustee, thereafter those Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed
shall cease to bear interest, and shall cease to be secured by, and shall not be
deemed to be outstanding under, the Indenture.

            In addition to the provision contained in the Indenture authorizing
the Issuer and the Trustee, without the consent of or notice to any of the
Bondholders, to enter into supplemental indentures not inconsistent with the
Indenture and for certain purposes specified therein, the Indenture contains
provisions permitting such parties, with the consent of the Holders of not less
than 66-2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time outstanding,
to execute supplemental indentures for the purpose of modifying, altering,
amending, adding to or rescinding, in any particular, any of the terms or
provisions of the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto; provided,
however, that no such supplemental indenture shall (a) without the consent of
the Holder of each Bond so affected extend the maturity of the principal of or
the interest on any Bond, reduce the principal amount of any Bond or the rate of
interest or redemption premium thereon, or reduce the amount or extend the time
of payment required by any Mandatory Sinking Fund Requirements (as defined in
the Indenture), or (b) without the consent of the Holders of all Bonds then
outstanding permit a privilege or priority of any Bond or Bonds over any other
Bond



                                     - 44 -
<PAGE>   50
or Bonds or reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds required for
consent to such supplemental indenture. For purposes of this paragraph consent
of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the
Bonds with respect to supplemental indentures shall have been deemed to have
been obtained if the Trustee does not receive letters of protest or objections
to such supplemental indentures signed by or on behalf of the Holders of 33-1/3%
or more of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding within
60 days from the date the Trustee mails notice of any proposed supplemental
indenture to the Holders of the Bonds as more specifically provided in the
Indenture.

            The Holder of each Bond has only those remedies provided in the
Indenture.

            The Bonds shall not constitute the personal obligation, either
jointly or severally, of the members of the Legislative Authority of the Issuer
or of any other officer of the Issuer.

            This Bond shall not be entitled to any security or benefit under the
Indenture or be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until the certificate
of authentication herein shall have been signed.

            NOW, THEREFORE, THIS INDENTURE WITNESSETH, that in order to secure
the payment of the Bond service charges on the Bonds according to their true
intent and meaning, and to secure the performance and observance of all the
covenants and conditions therein and herein contained and to declare the terms
and conditions upon and subject to which the Bonds are and are intended to be
issued, held, secured, and enforced, the Issuer, in consideration of the
premises and the acceptance by the Trustee of the trusts hereby created and of
the purchase and acceptance of the Project Bonds by the holders and owners
thereof, and for other good and valuable considerations, the receipt of which is
hereby acknowledged, has executed and delivered this Indenture and does hereby
pledge and assign to The Central Trust Company, N.A., Cincinnati, Ohio, as
Trustee, and to its successors in trust, and its and their assigns, for the
securing of the performance of the obligations of the Issuer hereinafter set
forth, the Issuer's right, title and interest in Pledged Receipts, including
without limitation all payments and other amounts receivable by or on behalf of
the Issuer under the Agreement (except for Unassigned Issuer's Rights as defined
in the Agreement) and in respect to the Loan, and all moneys and investments in
the Construction Fund and Bond Fund, and in particular the payments to be
received under and pursuant to and subject to the provisions of the Agreement
and the Note, pursuant to the terms of which payments are to be paid directly to
the Trustee at the corporate trust office of the Trustee for the account of the
Issuer and deposited in the Bond Fund, all subject to and in accordance with
this Indenture;

            TO HAVE AND TO HOLD to the Trustee and its successors in said trust
and to its and their assigns forever;

            BUT IN TRUST, NEVERTHELESS, for the equal and proportionate benefit,
except as to the Letter of Credit and subject to the terms hereof, security and
protection of all present and future holders and owners of the Bonds issued or
to be issued under and secured by this Indenture, and for the enforcement of the
payment of the Bond service charges on the Bonds, when payable, according to the
true intent and meaning thereof and of this Indenture and to secure the
performance of and compliance with the covenants, terms and conditions of this
Indenture, without preference, priority or distinction, as to lien or otherwise,
of any one Bond over any other by reason of designation, number, date of
authorization, issuance, sale, execution or delivery, date of the Bonds or of
maturity, or otherwise, so that each and all Bonds shall have the same right,
lien and privilege under this Indenture, and shall be equally and ratably
secured hereby, as if all the Bonds had been made, issued and negotiated
simultaneously with the delivery of this Indenture, it being intended that the
lien and security of this Indenture shall take effect from the date hereof,
without regard to the date of actual issue, sale or disposition of the Bonds as




                                     - 46 -
<PAGE>   52
though upon such date all the Bonds were actually issued, sold and delivered to
purchasers for value; provided, however, that if the Issuer, its successors or
assigns, shall well and truly pay, or cause to be paid, the principal of the
Bonds and the interest due or to become due thereon together with any premium
required by redemption of any of the Bonds prior to maturity, at the times and
in the manner mentioned in the Bonds according to the true intent and meaning
thereof, or shall cause the payment to be made into the Bond Fund as required
under Section 7 of the Bond Legislation authorizing the Project Bonds and the
Bond Legislation authorizing any Additional Bonds, or shall have caused the
Bonds to have been paid and discharged in accordance with Sections 8.01 and 8.02
of this Indenture, shall well and truly keep, perform and observe all the
covenants and conditions pursuant to the terms of this Indenture to be kept,
performed and observed by it, and shall pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee
and Paying Agents all sums of money due or to become due to them in accordance
with the terms and provisions hereof, then this Indenture and the rights hereby
granted shall cease, determine and be void; otherwise, this Indenture shall be
and remain in full force and effect.

            And it is expressly declared that the Bond Legislation set forth
above is part of this Indenture and that all Bonds issued and secured hereunder
are to be issued, authenticated and delivered, and all Pledged Receipts hereby
pledged and the Construction Fund and the Bond Fund are to be dealt with and
disposed of under, upon and subject to the terms, conditions, stipulations,
covenants, agreements, trusts, uses and purposes provided in this Indenture, and
the Issuer has agreed and covenanted, and does hereby further agree and
covenant, with the Trustee and with the respective holders and owners from time
to time, of the Bonds or any part thereof, as follows:

                                    ARTICLE I

                                   DEFINITIONS

            In addition to the words and terms elsewhere defined, directly or by
reference to the Agreement, in this Indenture, including the Bond Legislation,
the following words and terms as used in this Indenture shall have the following
meanings unless the context or use clearly indicates another or different
meaning or intent:

            "Bond Registrar" means the Trustee acting as Bond Registrar with
respect to the Bonds pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture.

            "Extraordinary Services" and "Extraordinary Expenses" means all
services rendered and all reasonable expenses properly



                                     - 47 -
<PAGE>   53
incurred under this Indenture other than Ordinary Services and Ordinary
Expenses.

            "Ordinary Services" and "Ordinary Expenses" mean those services
normally rendered and those expenses normally incurred by a trustee under
instruments similar to this Indenture.

            "Redemption Price" means principal and premium, if any, as set forth
in Section 3 of the Bond Legislation.

                                   ARTICLE II

                        FORM, EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION,
                       REGISTRATION AND EXCHANGE OF BONDS

            Section 2.01 Form of Bonds and Temporary Bonds. The Bonds and
Trustee's certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the forms set
forth in the preambles to this Indenture with, in the case of Additional Bonds,
such omissions, insertions and variations as may be authorized or permitted by
the Bond Legislation authorizing, or supplemental indenture entered into in
connection with, such Additional Bonds, all consistent with this Indenture.

            Bonds of any series may be initially issued in temporary form
exchangeable for definitive Bonds of the same series when ready for delivery.
The temporary Bonds shall be of such denomination or denominations as may be
determined by the Legislative Authority in accordance with the Bond Legislation,
and may contain such reference to any of the provisions of this Indenture as may
be appropriate. Every temporary Bond shall be executed and authenticated upon
the same conditions and in substantially the same manner as the definitive
Bonds. If temporary Bonds are issued, the Issuer will thereafter execute and
furnish definitive Bonds and thereupon the temporary Bonds may be surrendered
for cancellation in exchange therefor at the principal office of the Trustee,
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary
Bonds an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Bonds of the same series
and maturity of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary
Bonds shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive
Bonds authenticated and delivered hereunder.

            Section 2.02 Terms of Additional Bonds. Any series of Additional
Bonds shall have maturities, interest rates, interest payment dates, redemption
provisions, denominations, registration provisions and other terms as provided
in the Bond Legislation authorizing the issuance thereof, and the proceeds
thereof shall be held, invested and paid out as therein




                                     - 48 -
<PAGE>   54
provided, provided that such terms and provisions shall not be otherwise
inconsistent with this Indenture.

            Section 2.03 Execution and Authentication of Bonds. The Bonds shall
be executed in the manner provided in the Bond Legislation authorizing such
Bonds; provided, however, that such manner of execution shall not be
inconsistent with any requirements of law or of this Indenture.

            No Bond shall be valid or become obligatory for any purpose or shall
be entitled to any security or benefit under this Indenture unless and until an
authentication certificate, substantially in the form hereinabove set forth in
connection with the Project Bonds, shall have been duly endorsed upon such Bond.
Such authentication by the Trustee upon any Bond shall be conclusive evidence
that the Bond so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder and is entitled to the security and benefit of this Indenture. Such
certificate of the Trustee may be executed by any person duly authorized by the
Trustee, but it shall not be necessary that the same person sign the
authentication certificate on all of the Bonds.

            Section 2.04 Transfer, Exchange and Registration of Bonds. Each Bond
shall be of a single maturity of the same series; provided, however, that the
Fiscal Officer with approval of the Trustee may authorize issuance of one or
more Bonds representing more than one maturity of the same series with
appropriate changes in the bond form to cover more than one maturity, such
authorization and approval in each case to be evidenced by the facsimile or
original signature of the Fiscal Officer and authentication by the Trustee.
Except as otherwise provided in the Bond Legislation, each Bond shall bear
interest from its date and shall be dated as of September 1, 1986 if
authenticated prior to the first Interest Payment Date, and otherwise shall be
dated as of the Interest Payment Date next preceding the date of its
authentication, unless authenticated upon an Interest Payment Date in which case
it shall be dated as of the date of its authentication; provided, however, that
if at the time of authentication of any Bond interest thereon is in default,
such Bond shall be dated as of the date to which interest has been paid.

            Unless otherwise provided in the Bond Legislation, the principal of
and any premium on all registered Bonds shall be payable at the corporate trust
office of the Trustee upon presentation and surrender of such registered Bonds,
and payment of the interest on the Bonds shall be made on each Interest Payment
Date to the person in whose name the Bond is registered at the close of business
on the Regular Record Date applicable to each Interest Payment Date on the
registration books hereinafter provided for as the registered holder thereof, by
check or draft mailed or delivered by the Trustee to such


                                     - 49 -
<PAGE>   55
registered holder at his address as it appears on such registration books.

            Any Bonds, upon surrender thereof at the corporate trust office of
the Bond Registrar, together with an assignment duly executed by the registered
holder or his duly authorized attorney in such form as shall be satisfactory to
the Bond Registrar, may, if and to the extent permitted by law, at the option of
the registered holder thereof, be exchanged for fully registered Bonds of the
same series of any denomination or denominations authorized by the applicable
Bond Legislation in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unmatured and
unredeemed principal amount of such fully registered Bonds, and bearing interest
at the same rate and maturing on the same date or dates.

            Any fully registered Bond may be transferred upon the books kept for
the registration and transfer of Bonds, only upon surrender thereof at the
corporate trust office of the Bond Registrar together with an assignment duly
executed by the registered holder or his duly authorized attorney in such form
as shall be satisfactory to the Bond Registrar. Upon the transfer of any such
fully registered Bond and on request of the Bond Registrar, the Issuer shall
execute in the name of the transferee, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, a new fully registered Bond or Bonds of the same series, of any
denomination or denominations permitted by this Indenture and the applicable
Bond Legislation, in aggregate principal amount equal to the unmatured and
unredeemed principal amount of such fully registered Bond, and bearing interest
at the same rate and maturing on the same date or dates.

            In all cases in which Bonds shall be exchanged or fully registered
Bonds shall be transferred hereunder, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver Bonds in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Bond Legislation as to
the series of Bonds authorized by such Bond Legislation, the Issuer and Bond
Registrar may make a charge for every such exchange or transfer of Bonds
sufficient to reimburse them for any tax, fee or other governmental charge
required to be paid with respect to such exchange or to reimburse them for all
other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such exchange or transfer,
and such charge or charges shall be paid before any such new Bond shall be
delivered; provided, however, that if any fully registered Bonds shall have been
initially delivered in temporary form to the Original Purchaser of the same
series of Bonds, there shall be no charge to the Original Purchaser for the
exchange of temporary Bonds for definitive Bonds. Neither the Issuer nor the
Bond Registrar shall be required to make any such exchange or transfer of any
Bond during the fifteen days next preceding an Interest Payment Date on the
Bonds of the same




                                     - 50 -
<PAGE>   56
series or next preceding any selection of Bonds of the same series to be
redeemed, or after such Bond has been selected for partial or complete
redemption.

            In case any fully registered Bond is redeemed in part only, the
Issuer, on or after the redemption date and upon surrender of such Bond, shall
cause execution of and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver a new Bond or
Bonds in authorized denominations and in aggregate principal amount equal to the
unredeemed portion of such Bond.

            So long as any of the Bonds remain outstanding, the Issuer will
cause to be maintained and kept, at the corporate trust office of the Trustee as
Bond Registrar, books for the aforesaid registration and transfer of Bonds
except that as to any series of Bonds an additional or different Bond Registrar
may be designated in the applicable Bond Legislation.

            Section 2.05 Mutilated, Lost, Wrongfully Taken or Destroyed Bonds.
In the event any temporary or definitive Bond is mutilated, lost, wrongfully
taken or destroyed, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate
a new Bond of like date, maturity and denomination as that mutilated, lost,
wrongfully taken or destroyed, provided that, in the case of any mutilated Bond
such mutilated Bond shall first be surrendered to the Trustee, and in the case
of any lost, wrongfully taken or destroyed Bond there shall be first furnished
to the Issuer, the Company, the Letter of Credit Bank and the Trustee evidence
of such loss, wrongful taking or destruction satisfactory to the Fiscal Officer,
the Authorized Company Representative, the Letter of Credit Bank and the
Trustee, together with indemnity satisfactory to them. In the event such lost,
wrongfully taken or destroyed Bond shall have matured, instead of issuing a new
Bond the Issuer, by its Fiscal Officer, may direct the Trustee to pay the same
without surrender thereof upon the furnishing of the satisfactory evidence and
indemnity as in the case of issuance of a new Bond. The Issuer and the Trustee
may charge the holder of such Bond with their reasonable fees and expenses in
connection with their action pursuant to this Section .

            Every new Bond issued pursuant to this Section shall, with respect
to such Bond constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Issuer,
whether or not the lost, wrongfully taken or destroyed Bond shall be found at
any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally
and proportionately with any and all other Bonds duly issued hereunder. All
Bonds shall be held and owned on the express condition that the foregoing
provisions of this Section are exclusive with respect to the replacement or
payment of mutilated, lost, wrongfully taken or destroyed Bonds and shall
preclude any and all rights or remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute
existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with


                                     - 51 -
<PAGE>   57
respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other
securities without their surrender.

            Section 2.06 Safekeeping and Cancellation of Bonds. Any Bond
surrendered for the purpose of payment or retirement, or for exchange, or for
replacement or payment pursuant to Section 2.05, shall be cancelled upon
surrender thereof to the Trustee or Paying Agents. Any such Bonds cancelled by a
Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall promptly be transmitted by such Paying
Agent to the Trustee. Certification of such surrender and cancellation shall be
made to the Issuer by the Trustee at least once each calendar year. Unless
otherwise directed by the Issuer or other lawful authority, cancelled Bonds
shall promptly be destroyed by shredding or cremation by the Trustee, and
certificates of such destruction (describing the manner thereof) provided by the
Trustee to the Issuer.

            Section 2.07 Delivery of the Project Bonds. Upon the execution and
delivery of this Indenture and subject to Section 6 of the Bond Legislation, the
Issuer shall execute and deliver to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall
authenticate, the Project Bonds and deliver them to, or for the account of, the
Original Purchaser thereof as may be directed by the Issuer as hereinafter in
this Section 2.07 provided.

            Prior to the delivery by the Trustee of any of the Project Bonds
there shall be filed with the Trustee:

            1. A copy, duly certified by the Clerk of the Legislative Authority,
of the Bond Legislation authorizing the execution and delivery of the Indenture,
Agreement, Bond Purchase Agreement, and the issuance and sale of the Project
Bonds, and a copy, duly certified by a general partner of the Company, of the
resolution or resolutions adopted by the Company authorizing the execution and
delivery of the Agreement, Reimbursement Agreement, Bond Purchase Agreement,
Assignment of Rents, Mortgage, Security Agreement, Guarantee Agreement and Note.

            2. Original executed counterparts of the Indenture, Agreement,
Mortgage, Assignment of Rents, Security Agreement, Guarantee Agreement and the
Reimbursement Agreement.

                               REDEMPTION OF BONDS

            Section 3.01 Privilege of Redemption and Redemption Price. The Bonds
shall be subject to redemption prior to maturity at such times, to the extent
and in the manner provided in the applicable Bond Legislation, all subject to
this Indenture.

            Section 3.02 Issuer's Election to Redeem. The Issuer, except in the
case of redemption pursuant to any mandatory redemption provisions provided in
the Bond Legislation, and except as otherwise provided in the Bond Legislation,
shall give written notice to the Trustee of its election to redeem in the manner
provided in and in accordance with the applicable Bond Legislation, of the
places where the amounts due upon such redemption are payable, and of the
redemption date and of the principal amount of each maturity of each series of
redeemable Bonds to be redeemed, which notice shall be given at least forty-five
days prior to the redemption date or such shorter period as shall be acceptable
to the Trustee. In the event notice of redemption shall have been given as in
the Bond Legislation or Section 3.03 provided, the Issuer shall, and hereby
covenants that it will on or prior to the redemption date, if sufficient funds
shall have been provided for the purpose by the Company under the Agreement or
the Letter of Credit, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee an amount in cash
which, in addition to other moneys, if any, available therefor held by the
Trustee, will be sufficient to redeem at the Redemption Price thereof, plus
interest accrued to the redemption date, all of the redeemable Bonds which the
Issuer has so elected to redeem.

            Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption. When the Trustee shall receive
notice from or on behalf of the Issuer of its




                                     - 57 -
<PAGE>   63
election to redeem Bonds, or in order to carry out any mandatory redemption
provisions of any Bond Legislation, the Trustee shall give notice of call for
redemption as provided for in the applicable Bond Legislation.

            Section 3.04 Payment of Redeemed Bonds. Notice having been given in
the manner provided in Section 3.03, the Bonds so called for redemption shall
become due and payable on the redemption date at the Redemption Price, plus
interest accrued to the redemption date, and, upon presentation and surrender
thereof at the place or places specified in such notice, such Bonds shall be
paid at the Redemption Price plus interest accrued to the redemption date. If,
on the redemption date, moneys for the redemption of all such Bonds to be
redeemed, together with interest to the redemption date, are held by the Trustee
so as to be available therefor on said date and if notice of redemption shall
have been given as aforesaid, then, from and after the redemption date such
Bonds so called for redemption shall cease to bear interest, and said Bonds
shall no longer be considered as outstanding hereunder. If said moneys shall not
be so available on the redemption date, such Bonds shall continue to bear
interest until paid at the same rate as they would have borne had they not been
called for redemption.

            All moneys deposited in the Bond Fund and held by the Trustee or
Paying Agents for the redemption of particular Bonds shall be held in trust for
the account of the holders thereof and shall be paid to them respectively upon
presentation and surrender of such Bonds.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                         FURTHER PROVISIONS AS TO FUNDS,
                         PAYMENTS, PROJECT AND AGREEMENT

            Section 4.01 Provisions for Payment. The Issuer hereby authorizes
and directs the Trustee to cause withdrawal of sufficient funds from the Bond
Fund available for such purpose to pay the Bond service charges on the Bonds as
the same become due and payable (whether at stated maturity or by redemption or
pursuant to any Mandatory Sinking Fund Requirements or otherwise), for the
purposes of paying, or transferring necessary funds to Paying Agents to pay,
said Bond service charges, which authorization and direction the Trustee hereby
accepts. The Trustee shall create and maintain a separate Reimbursement Account
("Reimbursement Account") within the Bond Fund which Reimbursement Account shall
be used by the Trustee to reimburse the Letter of Credit Bank, as provided
herein or in the Agreement.

            Section 4.02 Non-presentment of Bonds. In the event any Bond shall
not be presented for payment when the principal


                                     - 58 -
<PAGE>   64
thereof becomes due, whether at maturity, at the date fixed for redemption
thereof, or otherwise, if funds sufficient to pay such Bond shall have been made
available to the Trustee for the benefit of the holder or holders thereof, all
liability of the Issuer to the holder thereof for the payment of such Bond shall
thereupon cease and be completely discharged, and it shall be the duty of the
Trustee to hold such funds, without liability for interest thereon, in a
separate account in the Bond Fund for the benefit of the holder of such Bond,
who shall thereafter be restricted exclusively to such funds for any claim of
whatever nature on his part under this Indenture or on, or with respect to, said
Bond; provided that any funds which shall be so held by the Trustee and which
remain unclaimed by the holder of the Bond not presented for payment for a
period of three years after such due date thereof, shall be paid first to the
Letter of Credit Bank to the extent of any amounts due and payable to the Letter
of Credit Bank under the Reimbursement Agreement and then to the Company free of
any trust or lien and thereafter the holder of such Bond shall look only to the
Company for payment and then only to the amounts so received by the Letter of
Credit Bank or the Company without any interest thereon, and the Trustee shall
have no further responsibility with respect to such moneys.

            Section 4.03 Extension of Payment of Bonds. The Issuer shall not
directly or indirectly extend or assent to the extension of the maturity of any
of the Bonds or the time of payment of any claims for interest, by the purchase
or funding of such Bonds or claims for interest or by any other arrangement, and
in case the maturity of any of the Bonds or the time for payment of any such
claims for interest shall be extended, such Bonds or claims for interest shall
not be entitled in case of any event of default under this Indenture to the
benefit of the Indenture or to any payment out of the funds (except funds held
for the payment of particular Bonds or claims for interest pursuant to this
Indenture held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent) except subject to the prior
payment of the principal of all Bonds issued and outstanding the maturity of
which has not been extended and of such portion of the accrued interest on the
Bonds as shall not be represented by such extended claims for interest. Nothing
herein shall be deemed to limit the right of the Issuer to issue any duly
authorized refunding Bonds and such issuance shall not be deemed to constitute
an extension of maturity of the Bonds.

            Section 4.04 Payments to Trustee and Paying Agents. Pursuant to the
provisions of the Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay to the Trustee,
continuing until the outstanding Bonds shall have been fully paid and discharged
in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, the reasonable fees, charges
and expenses of the Trustee, as Trustee (for Ordinary and Extraordinary Services
and Expenses), Bond Registrar and Paying Agent, and of other Paying Agents, as
and when the same



                                     - 59 -

become due; provided, that the Company may, without creating a default
thereunder, contest in good faith the necessity for any such Extraordinary
Services and Extraordinary Expenses and the reasonableness of any such fees,
charges or expenses. The initial or acceptance fees of the Trustee and the fees,
charges and expenses of the Trustee or other Paying Agents referred to in the
first sentence of this Section, which may become due and payable during the
Construction Period (as defined in the Agreement) may be paid by the Trustee
from the Construction Fund as and when the same shall become due and payable as
provided in the Agreement.

            Section 4.05 Moneys to be Held in Trust. All moneys required or
permitted to be deposited with or paid to the Trustee or any Paying Agent under
any provision of this Indenture, the Letter of Credit or the Agreement, and any
investments thereof, shall be held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent in trust
and, except for moneys deposited with or paid to the Trustee or any Paying Agent
for the redemption of Bonds, notice of the redemption of which has been duly
given, and moneys held by the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof, shall,
while held by the Trustee or Paying Agent, be subject to the lien hereof.

            Section 4.06 Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds. In the event that
Net Proceeds, or an amount equal to Net Proceeds, of any insurance or
condemnation award shall be paid to the Trustee for the account of the Issuer
and deposited in a special account or in the Reimbursement Account in the Bond
Fund, in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.8 of the Agreement, the
Trustee hereby agrees to accept and disburse such Net Proceeds or amount as
directed by the Issuer with the consent of the Letter of Credit Bank and the
Company. Any such Net Proceeds or amount equal thereto deposited in the
Reimbursement Account in the Bond Fund in accordance with the provisions of said
Section 5.8 shall be applied in the manner provided in Section 2.9 of the
Agreement.

amounts remaining in the Bond Fund, after all of the outstanding Bonds shall be
deemed to have been paid and discharged under the provisions of this Indenture,
and the fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and the Paying Agents and all
other amounts required to be paid under this Indenture and the Agreement shall
have been paid, shall be paid first to the Letter of Credit Bank in satisfaction
of any outstanding obligations of the Company to the Letter of Credit Bank under
the terms of the Reimbursement Agreement and then to the Company upon the
expiration or sooner termination of the Agreement, provided that nothing
contained herein shall impair any right of the Issuer or the Trustee under the
Agreement, this

Indenture or law to recover from such amounts prior to such payment to the
Company any loss, cost or expense incurred as a result of any default by the
Company in any payment of Loan Payments.

            Section 4.08 Records of Construction Fund. The Trustee shall cause
to be kept and maintained adequate records pertaining to the Construction Fund

Company, file an accounting thereof with the Issuer, the Letter of Credit Bank

            Section 4.10 Amendments to Agreement and Letter of Credit Not

Agreement, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Rents, or the Letter of Credit are to
be applied to the payment of Bond service charges. Except as provided in this
Section 4.15 and Sections 4.02 and 4.16 hereof, the Bond Fund (and accounts
therein for which provision is made herein or in the Agreement) and the moneys
and Eligible Investments therein shall be used solely and exclusively for the
payment of Bond service charges as they fall due at stated maturity, or by
redemption or pursuant to any Mandatory Sinking Fund Requirements or upon
acceleration, all as provided herein and in the Agreement.

            The Trustee shall establish separate accounts within the Bond Fund
for each separate series of Bonds. The Trustee shall establish separate
subaccounts within each separate series account in the Bond Fund to the extent
required so that the Trustee may at all times ascertain the date and source of
deposit of the funds in each subaccount.

            Moneys in the Bond Fund shall be used to pay Bond service charges
with respect to the Bonds and for the redemption of Bonds prior to maturity and
as otherwise provided in this Indenture only in the following order:

            FIRST: Amounts derived from the proceeds of the initial sale and
            delivery of the Bonds representing any accrued interest thereon, and
            proceeds from the investment thereof;

            SECOND: Amounts drawn by the Trustee under the Letter of Credit; and

            THIRD: Any other amounts available in the Bond Fund.

            The Issuer hereby authorizes and directs the Trustee to draw on the
Letter of Credit pursuant to its terms, in the amounts and at the times
necessary to pay Bond service charges on the Bonds pursuant to this Section
4.15.

            The Trustee shall draw upon the Letter of Credit in accordance with
the terms thereof under the following circumstances:

                  (a) On or before 11:00 A.M., local time, on the fourth
            Business Day prior to any Interest Payment Date or the fourth
            Business Day preceding the date of the purchase of any Bonds by the
            Remarketing Agent pursuant to Section 5.21 hereof, or the payment of
            any discount pursuant to Section 5.20 hereof, the Trustee shall
            determine the amount necessary to make all required payments of
            principal and interest on the Bonds on the next succeeding Interest
            Payment Date or such purchase of the Bonds or such payments of
            discounts thereon, and shall present a draft to the Letter of Credit
            Bank (together with required certificates under the Letter of
            Credit) in such amount, so as to permit the timely transfer of funds
            (which in the case of any payment of principal or interest on the
            Bonds, other than as a result of inability of the Remarketing Agent
            to remarket such Bonds, shall require that such funds be in the
            Trustee's possession on the Business Day immediately preceding the
            date such principal or interest is due on the Bonds) from the Letter
            of Credit Bank to the Trustee for payment of the principal of and
            interest on the Bonds when due, whether at maturity or upon prior
            redemption or acceleration or otherwise, or the payment of the
            purchase price of the Bonds or the payment of any discount from the
            remarketing of the Bonds. In addition to the foregoing draws, the
            Trustee shall make a draw on the Letter of Credit in the case of a
            Defaulting Buyer (as defined in Section 5.23 hereof).

                  (b) Upon acceleration of the Bonds upon the occurrence of an
            Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, the Trustee shall, on or
            before 10:00 A.M., local time, on the Business Day following the
            date of declaration of the acceleration of the Bonds, present a
            draft to the Letter of Credit Bank (together with required
            certificates under the Letter of Credit) for payment of the entire
            amount due under Section 6.02 hereof.

                  (c) If the Letter of Credit Bank has not transferred funds in
            accordance with the Letter of Credit upon the presentment of any
            such draft, the Trustee shall (i) resubmit such draft properly and
            take such other action as may be necessary to cause the Letter of
            Credit Bank to honor its obligations under the Letter of Credit and
            (ii) promptly notify, by oral or telephonic communication confirmed
            in writing, the


                                     - 64 -

            Company of the failure of the Letter of Credit Bank to transfer
            funds.

            In calculating the amount to be drawn on the Letter of Credit for
the payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds, whether at maturity or
upon redemption or acceleration, the Trustee shall not take into account the
potential receipt of funds from the Company under the Agreement on or before the
corresponding Interest Payment Date, or the existence of any other moneys in the
Bond Fund (other than accrued interest, if any, received at the time of the
issuance and delivery of the Bonds), but shall draw on the Letter of Credit for
the full amount of principal and interest coming due on the Bonds. In
calculating the amount to be drawn on the Letter of Credit for the purchase of
Bonds and the payment of any such discount in connection with the remarketing of
the Bonds, the Trustee shall take into account only the proceeds expected to be
received by the Remarketing Agent with respect to the remarketing of such Bonds,
including purchase thereof for its own account. Upon receipt of such moneys from
the Letter of Credit Bank, the Trustee shall (i) deposit the amount representing
a drawing on the Letter of Credit for the payment of principal and interest on
the Bonds in the Bond Fund, and apply the same to the payment of such principal
and interest due on the Bonds on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, (ii)
deposit the amount representing a drawing on the Letter of Credit for the
purchase of Bonds and the payment of any such discount in a separate trust fund
and disburse said amount to the Remarketing Agent for the purchase of Bonds and
the payment of any such discount and (iii) so long as there does not exist the
Event of Default described in Section 6.01(j) hereof, pay, on behalf of the
Company, but only from and to the extent of Loan Payments and any other amounts
then on deposit in the Reimbursement Account in the Bond Fund and not derived
from drawings under the Letter of Credit, to the Letter of Credit Bank any and
all amounts then due and payable under the Reimbursement Agreement. Any payment
made by the Trustee on behalf of the Company described in clause (iii) of the
immediately preceding sentence shall be made by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to the account of the Letter of Credit Bank on the date the
Trustee receives moneys pursuant to a drawing upon the Letter of Credit.

            The Trustee shall transmit to any Paying Agents, as appropriate from
moneys in the Bond Fund applicable thereto, amounts sufficient to make timely
payments of principal of and any premium on the Bonds to be made by those Paying
Agents and then due and payable. To the extent that the amount needed by any
Paying Agent is not sufficiently predictable, the Trustee may make any credit
arrangements with that Paying Agent which will permit those payments to be made.
The Issuer authorizes and directs the Trustee to cause withdrawal of moneys from
the Bond Fund which are available for the purpose of paying, and are



                                     - 65 -
<PAGE>   71
sufficient to pay, the principal of and any premium on the Bonds as they become
due and payable (whether at stated maturity, by redemption or pursuant to any
Mandatory Sinking Fund Requirements), for the purposes of paying or transferring
moneys to the Paying Agents which are necessary to pay such principal and
premium.

            Section 4.16. Extension of Letter of Credit; Alternate Letter of
Credit. The Letter of Credit expires upon the earliest to occur of (i) the
Trustee's making of the final drawing available to be made thereunder, (ii)
receipt by the Letter of Credit Bank of written notice from the Trustee that the
Indenture has been discharged and all outstanding Bonds have been deemed to be
paid in full in accordance with the Indenture or (iii) subject to the provision
for extension, and for substitution of an Alternate Letter of Credit provided
for herein, September 2, 1991.

            The Letter of Credit Bank may, at its election, provide for an
extension of the expiration date of the Letter of Credit to a date not earlier
than one (1) year from the Letter of Credit Termination Date being extended. The
Company may, at its option, provide for the delivery to the Trustee of an
Alternate Letter of Credit, which shall have an expiration date of not earlier
than one (1) year from the Letter of Credit Termination Date for the Letter of
Credit it replaces and shall otherwise comply with the terms of the Alternate
Letter of Credit Agreement. The issuer of the Alternate Letter of Credit must be
organized under Federal or state laws with a net worth at the time of issuance
of the Alternate Letter of Credit at least equal to that of the Letter of Credit
Bank (or any successor entity thereto under the Letter of Credit) at such time.
If the Letter of Credit is so extended to a date not earlier than one (1) year
from the Letter of Credit Termination Date being extended, or if the Company so
provides such an Alternate Letter of Credit complying with the requirements of
this paragraph, the mandatory redemption pursuant to the terms of this Indenture
shall not occur.

            Section 4.17. Release of Documents Upon Termination of Letter of
Credit. Upon the termination of the Letter of Credit, the Trustee, upon written
direction from the Company, shall unconditionally and timely release and
discharge the lien of the Mortgage, the Assignment of Rents and the Security
Agreement (and any other documents or instruments given as security by the
Company or any guarantor under the Guarantee Agreement or Additional Guarantees)
and shall redeliver the Guarantee Agreement and the Additional Guarantees to
each of the Guarantors.

                         THE TRUSTEE, REMARKETING AGENT,
                        INDEXING AGENT AND PAYING AGENTS

            Section 5.01 Trustee's Acceptance and Responsibilities. The Trustee
hereby accepts the trusts imposed upon it by this Indenture and the Agreement,
and agrees to perform the trusts and its obligations under this Indenture and
the Agreement as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in
the conduct of his own affairs, but only upon and subject to the following
express terms and conditions:

                  (a) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereof
            and perform any of its duties by or through attorneys, agents,
            receivers or employees but shall be answerable for the conduct of
            the same in accordance with the standard specified above, and shall
            be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters of trusts
            hereof and duties hereunder, and may in all cases pay reasonable
            compensation to all such attorneys, agents, receivers and employees
            as may reasonably be employed in connection with the trusts hereof.
            The Trustee may act upon the opinion or advice of any attorney (who
            may be the attorney or attorneys for the Issuer or the Company),
            approved by the Trustee in the exercise of reasonable care. The
            Trustee shall not be responsible for any loss or damage resulting
            from any action taken or not taken in good faith in reliance upon
            such opinion or advice. The Trustee shall, however, be responsible
            for loss or damage resulting from any negligence or willful
            misconduct on its part.

                  (b) Except for its certificate of authentication on the Bonds,
            the Trustee shall not be responsible for any recital herein or in
            the Bonds, or for the validity, priority, recording or rerecording,
            filing or refiling of this Indenture or the Agreement or any
            financing statements, amendments thereto or continuation statements,
            or for insuring the Project or collecting any insurance moneys, or
            for the validity of the execution by the Issuer of this Indenture or
            of any supplements thereto or instruments of further assurance, or
            for the sufficiency of the security hereof. The Trustee shall not be
            bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of
            any covenants, conditions or agreements on the part of the Issuer or
            on the part of the Company under the Agreement in connection with
            the matters referred to in Section 5.1 of the Agreement, except as
            hereinafter set forth; but the Trustee may require of the Issuer or



                                     - 67 -
<PAGE>   73
            the Company full information and advice as to the performance of the
            covenants, conditions and agreements aforesaid. Except as otherwise
            provided in Section 6.03 hereof, the Trustee shall have no
            obligation to perform any of the duties of the Issuer under the
            Agreement.

                  (c) The Trustee shall not be accountable for the application
            by the Company of the proceeds of any Bonds authenticated or
            delivered hereunder.

                  (d) The Trustee shall be protected in acting upon any notice,
            request, consent, certificate, order, affidavit, letter, telegram or
            other paper or document believed to be genuine and correct and to
            have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons. Any action
            taken by the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture upon the request or
            authority or consent of any person who at the time of making such
            request or giving such authority or consent is the holder of any
            Bonds, shall be conclusive and binding upon all future holders of
            the same Bond and of Bonds issued in exchange therefor or in place
            thereof.

                  (e) As to the existence or nonexistence of any fact or as to
            the sufficiency or validity of any instrument, paper or proceeding,
            the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon a certificate signed on
            behalf of the Issuer or the Company by an authorized officer or
            partner thereof as sufficient evidence of the facts therein
            contained, and, prior to the occurrence of a default of which the
            Trustee has been notified as provided in paragraph (g) of this
            Section, or of which by said paragraph it is deemed to have notice,
            shall also be entitled to rely upon a similar certificate to the
            effect that any particular dealing, transaction or action is
            necessary or expedient, but may at its discretion obtain such
            further evidence deemed necessary or advisable, but shall in no case
            be bound to secure the same. The Trustee may accept a certificate of
            an officer, or an assistant thereto, of the Issuer having charge of
            the appropriate records to the effect that legislation or any
            resolution in the form therein set forth has been adopted by the
            Legislative Authority of the Issuer or by the general partners of
            the Company, as conclusive evidence that such legislation or
            resolution has been duly adopted and is in full force and effect.

                  (f) The permissive right of the Trustee to do things
            enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty and
            the Trustee shall not be



                                     - 68 -
<PAGE>   74
            answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct.

                  (g) The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be
            deemed to have notice of any default hereunder, except events of
            default described in paragraphs (a), (b), (i), (j), or (k), of
            Section 6.01 hereof, unless the Trustee shall be specifically
            notified by writing delivered to it of such default by the Issuer,
            the Letter of Credit Bank or the Company or by the holders of at
            least twenty-five percent in aggregate principal amount of Bonds
            then outstanding, and in the absence of such notice so delivered the
            Trustee may conclusively assume there is no default except as
            aforesaid.

                  (h) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any debts
            contracted, or for injury or damage to persons or to personal
            property, or for salaries or nonfulfillment of contracts, relating
            to the Project.

                  (i) At any and all reasonable times the Trustee and the Letter
            of Credit Bank, and their duly authorized agents, attorneys,
            experts, engineers, accountants and representatives shall have the
            right fully to inspect the Project and any and all books, papers and
            records of the Issuer pertaining to the Project and the Bonds, and
            to take such memoranda from and in regard thereto and make copies
            thereof as may be desired.

                  (j) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or
            surety in respect of the execution of the said trusts and powers or
            otherwise in respect of the premises.

                  (k) Notwithstanding anything elsewhere in this Indenture
            contained, the Trustee shall have the right, but shall not be
            required, to demand, in respect of the authentication of any Bonds,
            the withdrawal of any cash, the release of any property, or any
            action whatsoever within the purview of this Indenture, any
            showings, certificates, opinions, appraisals or other information,
            or corporate action or evidence thereof, in addition to that by the
            terms hereof required as a condition of such action by the Trustee,
            deemed desirable for the purpose of establishing the right of the
            Issuer to the authentication of any Bonds, the withdrawal of any
            cash, the release of any property, or the taking of any other action
            by the Trustee.

<PAGE>   75
                  (l) Before taking action under Article VI or Section 5.04
            hereof, the Trustee may require that a satisfactory indemnity bond
            be furnished for the reimbursement of all expenses to which it may
            be put and to protect it against all liability, except liability
            which is adjudicated to have resulted from its negligence or willful
            misconduct by reason of any action so taken.

                  (m) Unless otherwise provided herein, all moneys received by
            the Trustee under this Indenture shall, until used or applied or
            invested as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for
            which they were received but need not be segregated from other funds
            except to the extent required by this Indenture or by law. The
            Trustee shall not be under liability for interest on any moneys
            received hereunder except such as may be agreed upon with the Issuer
            or the Company.

            Section 5.02 Fees, Charges and Expenses of Trustee and Paying
Agents. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.04 hereof, the Trustee shall be
entitled to timely payment and/or reimbursement for reasonable fees for its
Ordinary Services rendered hereunder and all advances, counsel fees and other
Ordinary Expenses reasonably and necessarily made or incurred by the Trustee in
connection with such Ordinary Services and, in the event that it should become
necessary that the Trustee perform Extraordinary Services, it shall be entitled
to reasonable extra compensation therefor, and to reimbursement for reasonable
and necessary Extraordinary Expenses in connection therewith; provided, that if
such Extraordinary Services or Extraordinary Expenses are occasioned by the
neglect or willful misconduct of the Trustee, it shall not be entitled to
compensation or reimbursement therefor. The Trustee and any Paying Agent shall
also be entitled to payment and reimbursement, but only from the applicable
Construction Fund or from the Additional Payments by the Company pursuant to the
Agreement or from Pledged Receipts available therefor, but not from moneys
derived from drawings on the Letter of Credit, for their reasonable fees and
charges as Paying Agents.

            Section 5.03 Notice to Bondholders if Default Occurs. If a default
occurs of which the Trustee has, pursuant to this Indenture, notice, then the
Trustee shall give written notice thereof to the Letter of Credit Bank and to
the holders of all Bonds then outstanding as shown by the registration books
maintained pursuant to Section 2.04 hereof.

            Section 5.04 Intervention by Trustee. In any judicial proceeding to
which the Issuer, Letter of Credit Bank or the Company is a party and which in
the opinion of the Trustee and its attorney has a substantial bearing on the
interest of



                                     - 70 -
<PAGE>   76
holders of the Bonds, the Trustee may intervene on behalf of the Bondholders and
shall do so if requested in writing by the holders of at least twenty-five
percent in the aggregate principal amount of Bonds then outstanding. The rights
and obligations of the Trustee under this Section are subject to the approval of
such intervention by a court of competent jurisdiction.

            Section 5.05 Successor Trustee. Any corporation or association into
which the Trustee may be converted or merged, or with which it or any successor
to it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer its assets and
trust business as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation or
association resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or
transfer to which it is a party, ipso facto, shall be and become successor
Trustee hereunder and vested with all of the title to the trust estate hereunder
and all the trusts, powers, discretions, immunities, privileges and all other
matters as was its predecessor, without the execution or filing of any
instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that any such
successor Trustee shall be a trust company, a bank or a banking association
authorized to exercise corporate trust powers within the State of Ohio, having a
reported capital and surplus or undivided profits of not less than $50,000,000.

            Section 5.06 Resignation by the Trustee. The Trustee may at any time
resign from the trusts hereby created by giving at least sixty (60) days'
written notice thereof to the Issuer, the Letter of Credit Bank, the Company and
the Original Purchaser of each series of Bonds then outstanding, and by giving
such notice in the same manner as provided for in the Bond Legislation for
giving notice of call for redemption, not less than forty-five (45) days before
such resignation is to take effect, and such resignation shall take effect at
the appointment of a successor Trustee by the Bondholders or by the Issuer and
acceptance by the successor Trustee of such trusts.

            Section 5.07 Removal of the Trustee. The Trustee may be removed at
any time by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the
Trustee, to the Issuer, the Letter of Credit Bank and to the Company and signed
by or on behalf of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
Bonds then outstanding; provided however, that the removal of the Trustee shall
not be effective until a successor Trustee has been appointed pursuant to
Section 5.08 hereof.

            Section 5.08 Appointment of Successor Trustee. In case the Trustee
hereunder shall resign or be removed, or be dissolved, or otherwise become
incapable of acting hereunder, or in case it shall be taken under the control of
any public



                                     - 71 -
<PAGE>   77
officer or officers, or of a receiver appointed by a court, a successor shall be
appointed by the Issuer with the written consent of the Company and the Letter
of Credit Bank; provided that if a successor Trustee is not so appointed within
ten days after notice of resignation is mailed or instrument of removal is
delivered as provided in Sections 5.06 and 5.07, respectively, or within ten
days after the Trustee is dissolved, taken under control or otherwise incapable
of action as above provided, then the holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of Bonds then outstanding, by an instrument or concurrent
instruments in writing signed by or on behalf of such holders, may designate a
successor Trustee. Every such successor Trustee appointed pursuant to the
provisions of this Section shall be a trust company, a bank or a banking
association in good standing, duly authorized to exercise corporate trust powers
within the State of Ohio, having a reported capital and surplus or undivided
profits of not less than $50,000,000 and willing to accept the trusteeship under
the terms and conditions of this Indenture.

            Section 5.09 Concerning Any Successor Trustee. Every successor
Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its
predecessor and also to the Issuer, the Letter of Credit Bank and the Company,
an instrument in writing accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon
such successor without any further act shall become fully vested with all the
rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of its predecessor; but such
predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the written request of its successor or the
Issuer, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee
all the estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts of such predecessor
hereunder, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver all property, securities
and moneys held by it as Trustee to its successor. Should any instrument in
writing from the Issuer be required by any successor Trustee for more fully and
certainly vesting in such successor the rights, powers and duties hereby vested
or intended to be vested in the predecessor, any and all such instruments in
writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the
Issuer.

            Section 5.10 Successor Trustee as Custodian of Funds, Bond Registrar
and Paying Agent. In the event of a change in the office of Trustee, the
predecessor Trustee which has resigned or been removed shall cease to be
custodian of any funds it may hold pursuant to the Indenture, and cease to be
Bond Registrar and Paying Agent for any of the Bonds, and the successor Trustee
shall become such custodian, Bond Registrar and Paying Agent.

            Section 5.11 Adoption of Authentication. In case any of the Bonds
contemplated to be issued hereunder shall have been authenticated but not
delivered, any successor Trustee may adopt



                                     - 72 -
<PAGE>   78
the certificate of authentication of the original Trustee or of any successor of
it as Trustee hereunder and deliver the said Bonds so authenticated as
hereinbefore provided; and in case any of such Bonds shall not have been
authenticated, any successor Trustee may authenticate such Bonds either in the
name of any predecessor or in its own name. In all such cases such certificate
of authentication shall have the same force and effect as provided in the Bonds
or in this Indenture with respect to the certificate of authentication of the
Trustee.

            Section 5.12 Trustee Protected in Relying Upon Instruments.
Legislation, resolutions, opinions, certificates and other instruments provided
for in this Indenture may be accepted by the Trustee as conclusive evidence of
the facts and conclusions stated therein and shall be full warrant, protection
and authority to the Trustee for its actions taken hereunder.

            Section 5.13 Designation and Succession of Paying Agents. The
Trustee and the other banks or trust companies, if any, designated as Paying
Agent or Paying Agents in the Bond Legislation pertaining to a particular series
of Bonds shall be the Paying Agent or Paying Agents for the applicable series of
Bonds, and in the absence of such designation the Trustee shall be the sole
Paying Agent.

            Any bank or trust company with or into which any Paying Agent other
than the Trustee may be merged or consolidated, or to which the assets and
business of such Paying Agent may be sold, shall be deemed the successor of such
Paying Agent for the purposes of this Indenture. If the position of such Paying
Agent shall become vacant for any reason, the Issuer shall, within thirty days
thereafter, appoint a bank or trust company located in the same city as such
Paying Agent to fill such vacancy; provided, however, that if the Issuer shall
fail to appoint such Paying Agent within said period, the Trustee shall make
such appointment.

            The Paying Agents shall enjoy the same protective provisions in the
performance of their duties hereunder as are specified in Section 5.01 hereof
with respect to the Trustee, insofar as such provisions may be applicable.

            Section 5.14 Dealing in Bonds. The Trustee, the Letter of Credit
Bank, the Remarketing Agent and Paying Agents and any of their directors,
officers, employees or agents, may in good faith become the owners of Bonds
secured hereby with the same rights which it or they would have hereunder if not
the Trustee, the Letter of Credit Bank, the Remarketing Agent or Paying Agent.

            Section 5.15 No Transfer of Note or Notes held by the Trustee.
Except as required to effect an assignment to a



                                     - 73 -
<PAGE>   79
successor trustee or the Letter of Credit Bank, or in the event of default under
the Agreement, the Reimbursement Agreement or this Indenture the Trustee shall
not sell, assign, pledge or transfer the Note or Notes held by it, and the
Trustee is authorized to enter into an agreement with the Company to such
effect.

            Section 5.16 Investment of Construction Fund and Bond Fund. Subject
to Article VI hereof, any moneys (except moneys in the Bond Fund derived from
drawings under the Letter of Credit) held as part of the Construction Fund, Bond
Fund or any special trust fund created pursuant to Article IV of the Agreement
shall, to the extent permitted by law, at the written or verbal (if verbal, to
be confirmed in writing) request of and as specified by the Authorized Company
Representative be invested and reinvested by the Trustee in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4.5 of the Agreement and Section 10 of the Bond
Legislation. Any such investments shall be held by or under the control of the
Trustee and shall be deemed at all times a part of the Construction Fund, Bond
Fund or any such special trust fund, as the case may be, and the interest
accruing thereon and any profit realized from such investments shall be credited
as set forth in Section 5.17 of this Indenture and any loss resulting from such
investments shall be charged to such fund. The Trustee is directed to sell and
reduce to cash funds a sufficient amount of such investments whenever the cash
balance in the Construction Fund is insufficient to pay a requisition when
presented or whenever the cash balance in the Bond Fund or special trust fund is
insufficient for the uses prescribed for moneys held in the Bond Fund or special
trust fund, respectively.

            The Company has covenanted and agreed that it will (a) prepare and
file with the Trustee and the Issuer a report setting forth the "Rebate Amount"
determined in accordance with Section 6.2(t) of the Agreement, and (b) deposit
or cause to be deposited in the Excess Investment Earnings Account (as defined
in the Agreement) any and all Rebate Amounts promptly following a determination
of any such Rebate Amount.

            The Trustee, as Construction Fund and Bond Fund custodian, covenants
and agrees that it will, on or before each anniversary of the date of issuance
of the Bonds, prepare and file with the Issuer and the Company a report with
respect to the Construction Fund and the Bond Fund setting forth the total
amounts invested during the preceding bond year, the investments made with the
moneys in the Construction Fund and the Bond Fund and the investment earnings
(and losses) resulting from the investments in each such Fund, respectively,
together with such additional information concerning such Funds and the
investments therein, respectively, as the Issuer or the Company shall reasonably
request.

<PAGE>   80
            The Trustee agrees that it will, to the extent practicable, keep all
moneys in the Excess Investment Earnings Account fully invested in Eligible
Investments and it will disburse all moneys in the Excess Investment Earnings
Account to the United States at the times and in the manner set forth in Section
6.2(t) of the Agreement.

            Moneys in the Excess Investment Earnings Account, including
investment earnings thereon, if any, shall not be subject to the pledge of this
Indenture and shall not constitute moneys held for the benefit of the Holders of
the Bonds.

            Section 5.17 Allocation of Income from Investments. All interest
accruing therefrom and any profit realized from investments of moneys in the
Construction Fund and Bond Fund shall, subject to the requirements of Section
6.2(t) of the Agreement, be allocated as follows:

            (a)   interest and profits from investment of Construction Fund
                  moneys shall be retained in the Construction Fund;

            (b)   interest and profits from investment of Bond Fund moneys shall
                  be retained in the Bond Fund and shall be used for the
                  purposes for which the Bond Fund is created;

            (c)   interest and profits from investment of moneys in the Excess
                  Investment Earnings Account shall be applied as required in
                  Section 6.2(t) of the Agreement; and

            (d)   interest and profits from investment of other funds or
                  accounts, if any, shall be paid into the Reimbursement Account
                  in the Bond Fund; provided that such payment shall not, in the
                  opinion of nationally-recognized bond counsel, impair the
                  tax-exempt status of interest on the Bonds.

            Section 5.18 Appointment of Remarketing Agent. The Issuer shall,
with the approval of the Company, appoint the Remarketing Agent for the Bonds,
subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.19 hereof. The Remarketing
Agent shall designate to the Trustee its principal office and signify its
acceptance of the duties and obligations imposed upon it hereunder by a written
instrument of acceptance delivered to the Issuer, the Company, the Letter of
Credit Bank and the Trustee under which the Remarketing Agent will agree,
particularly:

                  (a) to hold all Bonds delivered to it for purchase pursuant to
            Section 5.21 hereof in trust for



                                     - 75 -
<PAGE>   81
            the benefit of the respective holders of such Bonds until moneys
            representing the purchase price of such Bonds shall have been
            delivered to or for the account of or to the order of such holders
            of such Bonds;

                  (b) to hold all moneys delivered to it hereunder for the
            purchase of Bonds pursuant to Section 5.21 hereof in trust for the
            benefit of the Person or entity which shall have so delivered such
            moneys until the Bonds purchased with such moneys shall have been
            delivered to or for the account of such Person or entity;

                  (c) to establish the Six-Month Interest Rate on each
            applicable Interest Rate Determination Date; and

                  (d) to keep such books and records as shall be consistent with
            prudent industry practice and to make such books and records
            available for inspection by the Issuer, the Trustee, the Letter of
            Credit Bank and the Company at all reasonable times.

The Remarketing Agent shall be entitled to advice of legal counsel on any matter
relating to the Remarketing Agent's obligations hereunder and shall be entitled
to act upon the opinion of such counsel in the exercise of reasonable care in
fulfilling such obligations.

            Section 5.19 Qualifications of Remarketing Agent. The Remarketing
Agent shall be a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.,
having a capitalization of at least $2,500,000 and being authorized by law to
perform all the duties imposed upon it by this Indenture. The Remarketing Agent
may at any time resign and be discharged of the duties and obligations created
by this Indenture by giving at least 60 day's prior written notice by registered
or certified mail to the Issuer, the Company, the Letter of Credit Bank and the
Trustee. The Remarketing Agent may be removed at any time, by the Issuer at the
direction of the Company, by an instrument, signed by the Issuer, designating a
successor Remarketing Agent (with the approval of the Company), filed with the
Remarketing Agent, the Letter of Credit Bank and the Trustee.

            In the event of the resignation or removal of the Remarketing Agent,
the Remarketing Agent shall pay over, assign and deliver any moneys and Bonds
held by it in such capacity to its successor or, if there be no successor, to
the Trustee as hereinafter provided.

            In the event that the Remarketing Agent shall resign or be removed,
or be dissolved, or if the property or affairs of the Remarketing Agent shall be
taken under the control of any


                                     - 76 -
<PAGE>   82
state or Federal court or administrative body because of bankruptcy or
insolvency, or for any other reason, and the Issuer shall not have appointed its
successor as Remarketing Agent, the Trustee, notwithstanding the provisions of
the first paragraph of this Section, but only upon its receipt of actual notice
of such resignation, removal or dissolution shall ipso facto be deemed to be the
Remarketing Agent for all purposes of this Indenture until the appointment by
the Issuer of the successor Remarketing Agent; provided that the Trustee, in its
capacity as Remarketing Agent, shall not be required to remarket Bonds or
establish rates of interest otherwise than as provided in Section 3 of the Bond
Legislation.

            Section 5.20 Remarketing of Bonds. Upon delivery of Bonds to the
Remarketing Agent for purchase pursuant to Section 5.21 hereof, the Remarketing
Agent shall offer for sale and use its best efforts to sell such Bonds, any such
sale to be made on or before the Interest Payment Date on which such Bonds are
to be purchased, and in so doing may sell such Bonds at such a discount or such
a premium as, in its judgment having due regard to prevailing financial market
conditions, is necessary, but which would not exceed the discount or would not
be less than the premium necessary, to enable the Remarketing Agent to sell, not
later than the applicable Interest Payment Date, such Bonds so delivered to it;
provided, that no Bond shall be resold by the Remarketing Agent at a price less
than ninety-eight percent (98%) of its par value. Except as provided in Section
5.21 hereof, the Remarketing Agent may resell directly to the Company any Bonds
so delivered to it. The amount of any premium from any such resale, net of any
remarketing fees due to the Remarketing Agent and any amounts due and payable to
the Letter of Credit Bank under the Reimbursement Agreement, shall be paid to
the Company. The amount of any discount from any such resale shall be drawn by
the Trustee, at the written request of the Remarketing Agent, on the Letter of
Credit. In its capacity as a registered broker-dealer, the Remarketing Agent
may, but is not obligated to, acquire for its own account any Bonds so delivered
to it, but not otherwise resold, in which case the Remarketing Agent shall
resell such Bonds to itself. The Remarketing Agent may purchase and sell Bonds
for its own account at any time.

            Section 5.21 Purchase of Bonds by the Remarketing Agent. So long as
no Event of Default shall have happened and be continuing hereunder, any Bond
(or a portion thereof in the amount of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof)
shall be purchased, but only from the sources hereinafter specified, by the
Remarketing Agent, at the option of the holder thereof, on March 1, 1987, and on
any Interest Payment Date thereafter, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the
principal amount thereof, upon:



                                     - 77 -
<PAGE>   83
                  (a) delivery to the Remarketing Agent, initially Gradison &

            time, on the eighth Business Day prior to such Interest Payment Date
            of a written notice which (i) states the principal amount of such
            Bond (or portion thereof) to be purchased and the number thereof and
            the name of the registered owner thereof, and (ii) states that such
            Bond (or a portion thereof) is to be so purchased on such Interest
            Payment Date; and

                  (b) delivery of such Bond, assigned in blank, to the
            Remarketing Agent at the aforementioned office, at or prior to 11:00
            A.M. local time, on the fifth Business Day immediately preceding
            such Interest Payment Date.

Payment for Bonds purchased by the Remarketing Agent shall be made with the
following funds only in the following order of availability: (i) the proceeds
from the remarketing of such Bonds by the Remarketing Agent, (ii) money is
received from the Trustee pursuant to terms under the Letter of Credit, or (iii)
a combination of the foregoing.

            Bonds remarketed by the Remarketing Agent shall be delivered to the
purchasers thereof. Bonds purchased by the Remarketing Agent and not remarketed
shall, if purchased with proceeds of a draw on the Letter of Credit, be
delivered to the Letter of Credit Bank and shall, if purchased with funds
provided by the Company, at the direction of the Company, be held by the
Remarketing Agent for the Company, delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or
delivered to the Company.

            Bonds held by or pledged to the Letter of Credit Bank pursuant to
the Remarketing Agreement shall be delivered to the Letter of Credit Bank or
held by the Remarketing Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Bank.

            Section 5.22 Drawings on Letter of Credit for Purchase of Bonds. The
Remarketing Agent shall direct the Trustee in writing to draw moneys under the
Letter of Credit to the extent necessary to make timely payments required to be
made pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 5.21 hereof.

            At least five (5) Business Days before each Interest Payment Date
the Remarketing Agent shall notify the Trustee and the Company in writing of the
amount of any discount required to remarket the Bonds pursuant to Section 5.20
hereof and the face amount of any Bonds held by the Remarketing Agent which
cannot be remarketed by the Remarketing Agent on such Interest Payment Date.

<PAGE>   84
            Section 5.23 Delivery of Proceeds of Sale. The proceeds of the sale
by the Remarketing Agent of any Bonds delivered to it by, or held by it for the
account of, the Company or the Letter of Credit Bank, or delivered to it by any
other holder, shall be turned over to the Company, the Letter of Credit Bank or
such other holder, as the case may be; provided that any such proceeds which
otherwise would be turned over to the Company shall be turned over to the Letter
of Credit Bank if there has been a drawing under a Letter of Credit pursuant to
Section 5.22 hereof, but only to the extent the Letter of Credit Bank has not
been reimbursed for such drawing and all other amounts due under the
Reimbursement Agreement; and provided further, that any premium received or any
sale shall be paid or applied as provided in Section 5.20 hereof.

            In connection with remarketing of the Bonds hereunder, the
Remarketing Agent will be acting in an agency capacity rather than as principal.
Accordingly, the following provisions of this paragraph are designed to provide
protection to the Remarketing Agent against the risk that any Person (a
"Defaulting Buyer") which has agreed to purchase a Bond or portion thereof in
the remarketing process for any reason fails to pay the purchase price therefor.
Not later than noon on the fourth Business Day after any Interest Payment Date,
the Remarketing Agent shall provide notice to the Company, the Trustee, the
Letter of Credit Bank and the Original Purchaser, of the principal amount of the
Bonds remarketed hereunder for which the Remarketing Agent has paid the purchase
price but for which the Remarketing Agent has not been reimbursed by a
Defaulting Buyer. On the fifth Business Day after such Interest Payment Date the
Trustee shall draw such amount on the Letter of Credit and use the moneys so
drawn, to pay to the Remarketing Agent the applicable purchase price which shall
include interest to date. In the event of any such drawing, and provided such
drawing is promptly honored in full, the Bonds purchased in whole or in part
with the proceeds of such draw shall be assigned and delivered by the Trustee to
the Letter of Credit Bank and shall be pledged by the Company to the Letter of
Credit Bank pursuant to the Reimbursement Agreement.

            Section 5.24 No Purchases or Sales After an Event of Default.
Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding there shall be no
purchases or sales of Bonds pursuant to this Article V if there shall have
occurred and be continuing an Event of Default under this Indenture of which the
Remarketing Agent has been notified in writing.

            Section 5.25 Indexing Agent. The Issuer shall, with the approval of
the Company, appoint the Indexing Agent for the Bonds, subject to the conditions
set forth herein. The Indexing Agent shall designate to the Trustee its
principal office and signify its acceptance of the duties and obligations
imposed

                                     - 79 -
<PAGE>   85
upon it hereunder by a written instrument of acceptance delivered to the Issuer,
the Trustee, the Company, the Letter of Credit Bank and the Remarketing Agent
under which the Indexing Agent will agree, particularly:

                  (a) no later than 10:00 A.M. on each Interest Rate
            Determination Date to compute the Six-Month Interest Index in
            accordance with the terms of this Indenture and to give (i)
            telephonic notice to the Remarketing Agent of the Six-Month Interest
            Index no later than 10:00 A.M. on such Interest Rate Determination
            Date, and (ii) to give written notice to the Issuer, the Trustee,
            the Letter of Credit Bank, the Remarketing Agent and the Company of
            the Six-Month Interest Index on such Interest Rate Determination
            Date; and

                  (b) to keep such books and records as shall be consistent with
            prudent industry practice and to make such books and records
            available for inspection by the Issuer, the Trustee, the Letter of
            Credit Bank and the Company at all reasonable times.

            The Indexing Agent shall be a nationally recognized municipal
securities evaluation service. The Indexing Agent may at any time resign and be
discharged of the duties and obligations created by this Indenture by giving at
least sixty days' notice to the Issuer, the Company, the Remarketing Agent, the
Letter of Credit Bank and the Trustee. The Indexing Agent may be removed at any
time, at the direction of the Company, by an instrument, signed by the Issuer,
filed with the Indexing Agent, the Remarketing Agent, the Letter of Credit Bank
and the Trustee.

            Section 5.26. Reimbursement of Remarketing Agent. The Company has
agreed, pursuant to Section 2.2(d) of the Agreement, to pay directly reasonable
compensation to and the reasonable expenses of the Remarketing Agent. Unless
otherwise agreed from time to time by the Company, the Letter of Credit Bank and
the Remarketing Agent, the Remarketing Agent will charge a fee of three eighths
of one percent (3/8%) of the principal amount of the Bonds remarketed as the fee
for remarketing such Bonds.

                  such event;

            (j)   failure of the Letter of Credit Bank to honor any proper
                  drawing (including Principal, Interest, Discount or
                  Remarketing Drawings) in timely fashion so that the funds
                  necessary to pay such principal and interest are in the
                  possession of the Trustee on the Interest Payment Date on
                  which such principal and interest is due to the holders of the
                  Project Bonds; provided, however, that the Company has not
                  obtained an Alternate Letter of Credit within twenty-five (25)
                  days of such event; or

            (k)   failure to pay amounts due to the holder of any Project Bond
                  who has delivered such Project Bond to the Remarketing Agent
                  for purchase pursuant to the terms of this Indenture upon
                  notification to the Trustee and the Company of such failure
                  from the Remarketing Agent or any such holder, provided,
                  however, that if the Company shall have made such payment
                  within five (5) days of such notice, such failure shall not
                  constitute an event of default.

            Upon the occurrence of any event of default, the Trustee shall
within five days after knowledge of such event of default, give written notice
of the event of default, by registered or certified mail, to the Issuer, the
Company, the Letter of Credit Bank and the Original Purchaser.

            Section 6.02. Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, as defined in Section 6.01 hereof, as specified in Subsections (a),
(b), (i), (j), or (k) of Section 6.01 hereof, the Trustee shall declare, by a
notice in writing delivered to the Company, the principal of all Bonds then
outstanding (if not then due and payable), together with interest accrued
thereon, to be due and payable immediately. Upon the occurrence of any other
Event of Default, other than an Event of Default under Subsection (h), the
Trustee shall, upon



                                     - 82 -
<PAGE>   88
the written direction of the Letter of Credit Bank, declare, by a notice in
writing delivered to the Company, the principal of all Bonds then outstanding
(if not then due and payable), together with interest accrued thereon, to be due
and payable immediately. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in
Subsection (h) of Section 6.01 hereof, if there is not then an existing Event of
Default described in Subsections (a), (b), (i), (j), or (k) of Section 6.01
hereof, then the Trustee, without the written request of the Letter of Credit
Bank may, and upon the written request of the holders of not less than 25
percent in aggregate principal amount of Bonds then outstanding shall, declare
the principal of all Bonds then outstanding, together with interest accrued
thereon, to be due and payable immediately. Upon any such declaration, principal
and interest shall become and be due and payable immediately. Interest on the
Bonds shall accrue to the date determined by the Trustee for the tender of
payment to the holders pursuant to that declaration which date must be within
the period for which principal of and interest on the Bonds is covered by the
amount available under the Letter of Credit; provided, that interest on any
unpaid principal of Bonds outstanding shall continue to accrue from the date
determined by the Trustee for the tender of payment to the holders of those
Bonds.

            Any such declaration shall be by notice in writing to the Issuer,
the Letter of Credit Bank and the Company, and, upon said declaration, principal
and interest on all Bonds shall become and be immediately due and payable. The
Trustee immediately upon such declaration shall give notice thereof in the same
manner and within the same time period as provided in Section 3.03 hereof with
respect to redemption of the Bonds. Such notice shall specify the date on which
payment of principal and interest shall be tendered to the holders of the Bonds.
Upon any declaration of acceleration hereunder, the Trustee shall (i)
immediately exercise such rights as it may have under the Agreement and the
Notes to declare all payments thereunder to be immediately due and payable and
(ii) immediately draw upon the Letter of Credit to the full extent permitted by
the terms thereof.

            Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Company
fails to provide the Trustee with a written statement to the effect that a
Determination of Taxability has occurred as a result of a violation of the
capital expenditure limit under Section 103(b)(6)(D) of the Code, the Trustee
may, at the expense of the Company, request an opinion of nationally-recognized
bond counsel acceptable to the Company with regard to the tax-exempt status of
the Bonds, and if in the opinion of such bond counsel the Bonds are taxable, the
Trustee shall declare, by a notice in writing delivered to the Company, the
principal of all Bonds then outstanding (if not then due and


                                     - 83 -
<PAGE>   89
payable), together with interest accrued thereon, to be due and payable
immediately.

            Section 6.03 Other Remedies; Rights of Bondholders. Upon the
happening and continuance of an event of default the Trustee may, with or
without taking action under Section 6.02 hereof, pursue any available remedy,
including without limitation actions at law or in equity, to enforce the payment
of Bond service charges or to remedy any event of default.

            Upon the happening and continuance of an event of default, and if
requested so to do by the holders of at least twenty-five percent in aggregate
principal amount of Bonds then outstanding and indemnified at its option, as
provided in Section 5.01 hereof, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights
and powers conferred by this Section and by Section 6.02 as the Trustee, being
advised by counsel, shall deem most effective to enforce and protect the
interests of the Bondholders.

            No remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee (or to the
Bondholders) hereby is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, but each
and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other
remedy given to the Trustee or to the Bondholders hereunder or now or hereafter
existing.

            No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon
any default or event of default shall impair any such right or power or shall be
construed to be a waiver of any such default or event of default or acquiescence
therein; and every such right and power may be exercised from time to time and
as often as may be deemed expedient.

            No waiver of any default or event of default hereunder, whether by
the Trustee or by the Bondholders, shall extend to or shall affect any
subsequent default or event of default or shall impair any rights or remedies
consequent thereon.

            The Trustee, as the assignee of all right, title and interest of the
Issuer in and to the Agreement (except Unassigned Issuer Rights) and the Note,
shall enforce each and every right granted to the Issuer under the Agreement and
the Note. In exercising such rights and the rights given the Trustee under this
Article VI, the Trustee shall take such action as, in the judgment of the
Trustee, applying the standards described in Section 5.01 hereof, would best
serve the interests of the Bondholders.

            Section 6.04 Right of Bondholders to Direct Proceedings. Anything in
this Indenture to the contrary not withstanding, the holders of a majority in
aggregate principal



                                     - 84 -
<PAGE>   90
amount of Bonds then outstanding shall have the right at any time, by an
instrument or instruments in writing executed and delivered to the Trustee, to
direct the method and place of conducting all proceedings to be taken in
connection with the enforcement of the terms and conditions of this Indenture,
or for the appointment of a receiver or any other proceedings hereunder;
provided, that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with the
provisions of law and of this Indenture, and provided that the Trustee shall be
indemnified to its satisfaction.

            Section 6.05 Appointment of Receivers. Upon the occurrence of an
event of default, and upon the filing of a suit or other commencement of
judicial proceedings to enforce the rights of the Trustee and of the Bondholders
under this Indenture, the Agreement, and the Note, the Trustee shall be
entitled, as a matter of right, to the appointment of a receiver or receivers of
the Pledged Receipts, pending such proceedings, with such power as the court
making such appointment shall confer.

                Upon the occurrence of an event of default, to the extent such
rights may then lawfully be waived, neither the Issuer, nor the Company, nor
anyone claiming through or under either of them, shall set up, claim, or seek to
take advantage of any stay, extension, moratorium or redemption laws now or
hereafter in force, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement of this
Indenture, but the Issuer, for itself and all who may claim through or under it,
hereby waives, to the extent it may lawfully do so, the benefit of all such laws
and all right of redemption to which it may be entitled.

            Section 6.06 Application of Moneys. All moneys received by the
Trustee or a receiver pursuant to any right given or action taken under the
provisions of this Article shall, after payment of the Trustee's fees and
expenses, subject to any provision made pursuant to Sections 3.04 or 4.02
hereof, be deposited in the Bond Fund and all moneys in the Bond Fund shall be
applied as follows:

            (a)   Unless the principal of all the Bonds shall have become or
                  have been declared due and payable, all such moneys shall be
                  applied:

            First--To the payment to the persons entitled thereto of all
            installments of interest then due on the Bonds, in the order of
            maturity of the installments of such interest beginning with the
            earliest such maturity and, if the amount available shall not be
            sufficient to pay in full any particular installment, then to the
            payment thereof ratably, according to the amounts due on such
            installment, to the persons entitled thereto,


                                     - 85 -
<PAGE>   91
            without any discrimination or privilege except as to any difference
            in the respective rates of interest specified in the Bonds; and

            Second--To the payment to the persons entitled thereto of the unpaid
            principal of any of the Bonds which shall have become due (other
            than Bonds previously called for redemption for the payment of which
            moneys are held pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture)
            whether at maturity or by call for redemption, in the order of their
            due dates and beginning with the earliest such due date, with
            interest on such Bonds from the respective dates upon which they
            became due and if the amount available shall not be sufficient to
            pay in full all Bonds due on any particular date, together with such
            interest, then to the payment thereof ratably, according to the
            amount of principal due on such date, to the persons entitled
            thereto without any discrimination or privilege.

            (b)   If the principal of all the Bonds shall have become due or
                  shall have been declared due and payable pursuant to this
                  Article, all such moneys shall be applied to the payment of
                  the principal and interest then due and unpaid upon the Bonds,
                  without preference or priority of principal over interest or
                  of interest over principal, or of any installment of interest
                  over any other installment of interest, or of any Bond over
                  any other Bond, ratably, according to the amounts due
                  respectively for principal and interest, to the persons
                  entitled thereto without any discrimination or privilege
                  except as to any difference in the respective rates of
                  interest specified in the Bonds.

            (c)   If the principal of all the Bonds shall have been declared due
                  and payable pursuant to this Article, and if such declaration
                  shall thereafter have been rescinded and annulled under the
                  provisions of Section 6.10 hereof, then, subject to the
                  provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section in the event that
                  the principal of all the Bonds shall later become due or be
                  declared due and payable, the moneys shall be applied in
                  accordance with the provisions of paragraph (a) of this
                  Section;

provided, however, that prior to any application of moneys as set forth above,
the Trustee shall be entitled to its necessary and reasonable fees and expenses
incurred in the enforcement of any remedies under this Indenture.

<PAGE>   92
            The Letter of Credit is issued by the Letter of Credit Bank only
with respect to the payment of principal, interest and certain discounts and
purchase price payments on the Project Bonds for the benefit of the Trustee on
behalf of the holders of such Project Bonds. Proceeds of draws on the Letter of
Credit shall not be used for any other purpose.

            Whenever moneys are to be applied pursuant to the provisions of this
Section, such moneys shall be applied at such times, and from time to time, as
the Trustee shall determine, having due regard to the amount of such moneys
available for application and the likelihood of additional moneys becoming
available for such application in the future. Whenever the Trustee shall apply
such funds, it shall fix the date (which shall be an Interest Payment Date
unless it shall deem another date more suitable) upon which such application is
to be made and upon such date interest on the amounts of principal to be paid on
such dates, and for which moneys are available, shall cease to accrue. The
Trustee shall give notice as it may deem appropriate of the deposit with it of
any moneys and of the fixing of any such date, and shall not be required to make
payment to the holder of any unpaid Bond until such Bond shall be presented to
the Trustee for cancellation if fully paid.

            The provisions of this Section are in all respects subject to the
provisions of Section 4.03 hereof.

            Whenever all Bonds and interest thereon have been paid under the
provisions of this Section and all fees, expenses and charges of the Trustee and
Paying Agents and all other expenses payable under this Indenture have been
paid, any balance remaining in the Bond Fund shall be paid as provided in
Section 4.07 hereof.

            Section 6.07 Remedies Vested in Trustee. All rights of action
(including the right to file proof of claims) under this Indenture or under any
of the Bonds may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the
Bonds or the production thereof in any trial or other proceeding relating
thereto and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be
brought in its name as Trustee without the necessity of joining as plaintiffs or
defendants any holders of the Bonds, and any recovery of judgment shall be for
the benefit of the holders of the outstanding Bonds, subject, however, to the
provisions of this Indenture.

            Section 6.08 Rights and Remedies of Bondholders. No holder of any
Bond shall have any right to institute any suit, action or proceeding for the
enforcement of this Indenture or for the execution of any power or trust thereof
or for the appointment of a receiver or any other remedy hereunder, unless an
event of default hereunder has occurred and is continuing, of


                                     - 87 -
<PAGE>   93
which the Trustee has been notified as provided in Section 5.01(g), or of which
by said paragraph it is deemed to have notice, and the holders of at least
twenty-five percent in aggregate principal amount of Bonds then outstanding
shall have made written request to the Trustee and shall have afforded the
Trustee reasonable opportunity to proceed to exercise the powers or trusts
hereinbefore granted or to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own
name, and have offered to the Trustee indemnity as provided in Section 5.01, and
the Trustee shall thereafter fail or refuse to exercise the powers or trusts
hereinbefore granted or to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own
name; and such notification, request and offer of indemnity are hereby declared
in every case at the option of the Trustee to be conditions precedent to the
execution of the powers and trusts of this Indenture, and to any action or cause
of action for the enforcement of this Indenture, or for the appointment of a
receiver or for any other remedy hereunder; it being understood and intended
that no one or more holders of the Bonds shall have any right in any manner
whatsoever to affect, disturb or prejudice the lien of this Indenture by its,
his, or their action or to enforce any right hereunder except in the manner
herein provided and that proceedings shall be instituted, had and maintained in
the manner herein provided and for the benefit of the holders and owners of all
Bonds then outstanding. Subject to the foregoing, each Bondholder shall have a
right of action to enforce the payment of the principal of and interest on any
Bond held or owned by him at and after the maturity thereof at the place, from
the sources and in the manner in said Bond expressed.

            Section 6.09 Termination of Proceedings. In case the Trustee shall
have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture by the appointment of a
receiver or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or
abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely, then and in
every such case the Issuer, the Trustee and the Bondholders shall be restored to
their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, and all rights,
remedies and powers of the Trustee shall continue unimpaired as before.

            Section 6.10 Waivers of Events of Default. The Trustee with the
consent of the Letter of Credit Bank, other than in the case of an event of
default described in Section 6.01(a), (b), (h), (i), (j), or (k) hereof, may in
its discretion waive any event of default under this Indenture and its
consequences and rescind any declaration of maturity of principal, and shall do
so upon the written request of (1) the Letter of Credit Bank and (2) the holders
of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of all Project Bonds and
Additional Bonds then outstanding; provided, however, that there shall not be
waived any event of default described in paragraphs (a) or (b) of Section 6.01
hereof or any such declaration in connection



                                     - 88 -
<PAGE>   94
therewith rescinded. In case of any such waiver or rescission, or in case any
proceeding taken by the Trustee on account of any such event of default shall
have been discontinued or abandoned or determined adversely, then and in every
such case the Issuer, the Trustee, the Letter of Credit Bank and the Bondholders
shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder respectively,
but no such waiver or rescission shall extend to any subsequent or other event
of default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                             SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

            Section 7.01 Supplemental Indentures Not Requiring Consent of
Bondholders. The Issuer and the Trustee may without the consent of, or notice
to, any of the Bondholders, but with the consent of the Letter of Credit Bank,
enter into indentures supplemental to this Indenture and financing statements or
other instruments evidencing the existence of a lien and/or security interests
and amendments to the Letter of Credit as shall not, in the opinion of the
Issuer and the Trustee, be inconsistent with the terms and provisions hereof for
any one or more of the following purposes:

            (a)   To cure any ambiguity, inconsistency or formal defect or
                  omission in this Indenture or the Letter of Credit;

            (b)   To grant to or confer upon the Trustee for the benefit of the
                  Bondholders any additional rights, remedies, powers, or
                  authority that may lawfully be granted to or conferred upon
                  the Bondholders or the Trustee;

            (c)   To subject additional revenues, additional notes or interests
                  in real estate to the liens and pledge of the Indenture;

            (d)   To add to the covenants and agreements of the Issuer contained
                  in the Indenture other covenants and agreements thereafter to
                  be observed for the protection of the Bondholders, or to
                  surrender or limit any right, power or authority reserved to
                  or conferred upon the Issuer in the Indenture, including the
                  limitation of rights of redemption so that in certain
                  instances Bonds of different series will be redeemed in some
                  prescribed relationship to one another;





                                     - 89 -
<PAGE>   95
            (e)   To evidence any succession to the Issuer and the assumption by
                  such successor of the covenants and agreements of the Issuer
                  contained in the Indenture, the Agreement and the Bonds or of
                  the Letter of Credit Bank contained in the Letter of Credit;

            (f)   To modify, amend or supplement the Indenture in such manner as
                  to permit the qualification thereof under the Trust Indenture
                  Act of 1939, as amended, or to comply with any similar
                  requirements of any other law;

            (g)   In connection with the issuance of Additional Bonds in
                  accordance with Section 2.08 hereof and Section 8 of the Bond
                  Legislation for the Project Bonds; and

            (h)   Any other change not to the detriment of the holders of the
                  Bonds.

The Trustee may also accept, without the consent of or notice to any of the
Bondholders, an Alternate Letter of Credit or any amendments to the Letter of
Credit necessary to continue the effectiveness of the Letter of Credit as
originally intended or which in the judgment of the Trustee are not to the
prejudice of the Bondholders.

            Section 7.02 Supplemental Indentures Requiring Consent of
Bondholders. Exclusive of supplemental indentures referred to in Section 7.01
hereof and subject to the terms and provisions and limitations contained in this
Section , and not otherwise, the holders of not less than 66-2/3% in aggregate
principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding shall have the right, from time
to time, anything contained in any other Section or provision of this Indenture
to the contrary notwithstanding, with the consent of the Letter of Credit Bank,
to consent to and approve the execution by the Issuer and the Trustee of such
other indenture or indentures supplemental to this Indenture as shall be deemed
necessary and desirable by the Issuer and the Trustee for the purpose of
modifying, altering, amending, adding to or rescinding, in any particular, any
of the terms or provisions contained in this Indenture; provided, however, that
nothing in this Section or elsewhere shall permit, or be construed as
permitting, a supplemental indenture providing for (a) an extension of the
maturity of the principal or of the interest on any Bond, or a reduction in the
principal amount of any Bond or the rate of interest or redemption premium
thereon, or a reduction in the amount or extension of the time of any payment
required by any Mandatory Sinking Fund Requirements provided for in the Bond
Legislation, without the consent of the holder of each Bond so affected, or (b)
a

                                     - 90 -
<PAGE>   96
privilege or priority of any Bond or Bonds over any other Bond or Bonds, a
reduction in the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds required for consent to
such supplemental indenture, or (c) an extension of the time for or reduction in
the amount of any payment under the Letter of Credit without the consent of the
Letter of Credit Bank and the holders of all of the then outstanding Bonds.

            If at any time the Issuer shall request the Trustee to enter into
any such supplemental indenture for any of the purposes of this Section, the
Trustee shall, if any Bonds are at the time outstanding, upon being
satisfactorily indemnified with respect to expenses, cause notice of the
proposed execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed by first-class
mail, postage prepaid, to the Original Purchaser of each series of Bonds and to
all registered holders of Bonds then outstanding at their addresses as they
appear on the registration books herein provided for. The Trustee shall not,
however, be subject to any liability to any Bondholder by reason of its failure
to mail, or the failure of such Bondholder to receive, the notice required by
this Section, and any such failure shall not affect the validity of such
supplemental indenture when consented to and approved as provided in this
Section. Such notice shall briefly set forth the nature of the proposed
supplemental indenture and shall state that copies thereof are on file at the
office of the Trustee for inspection by all Bondholders. Such notice or notices
may be waived by an instrument or concurrent instruments executed by the holders
or owners of all Bonds at the time outstanding.

            If, within 60 days or such longer period as shall be prescribed by
the Trustee following the mailing of such notice the holders of not less than
66-2/3% of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding shall
have consented to the adoption thereof, such supplemental indenture may be
executed and this Indenture shall be deemed to be modified and amended in
accordance therewith. The holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate
principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding shall be deemed to have consented
to and approved the adoption of such supplemental indenture if the Trustee does
not receive letters of protest or objections thereto signed by or on behalf of
the holders of 33-1/3% or more of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds
then outstanding on or before 3:30 P.M. local time at the principal corporate
trust office of the Trustee on the 60th day after mailing of the aforesaid
notice.

            Any such consent shall be binding upon the holder of the Bond giving
such consent and, anything in Section 9.01 hereof to the contrary
notwithstanding, upon any subsequent holder of such Bond and of any Bond issued
in exchange therefor (whether or not such subsequent holder has notice thereof),
unless such consent is revoked by the holder of such Bond giving

such consent or by a subsequent holder thereof by filing with the Trustee, prior
to the execution by the Trustee of such supplemental indenture, such revocation
and, if such Bond or Bonds are transferable by delivery, proof that such Bonds
are held by the signer of such revocation in the manner permitted by Section
9.01. At any time after the holders of the required percentage of Bonds shall
have consented to the supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall make and file
with the Issuer a written statement that the holders of such required percentage
of Bonds have so consented. Such written statement shall be conclusive that such
consents have been so filed.

            If the holders of the required percentage in aggregate principal
amount of the Bonds outstanding shall have consented to and approved the
execution thereof as herein provided, no holder of any Bond shall have any right
to object to the execution of such supplemental indenture, or to object to any
of the terms and provisions contained therein or the operation thereof, or in
any manner to question the propriety of the execution thereof, or to enjoin or
restrain the Trustee or the Issuer from executing the same or from taking any
action pursuant to the provisions thereof.

            Section 7.03 Consent of the Company. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, a supplemental indenture under this Article VII which affects
any rights or obligations of the Company shall not become effective unless and
until the Company shall have consented in writing to the execution and delivery
of such supplemental indenture. In this regard, the Trustee shall cause notice
of the proposed execution and delivery of any supplemental indenture together
with a copy of the proposed supplemental indenture to be mailed as provided in
Section 9.04 hereof to the Company at least ten days before the date of its
proposed execution and delivery in the case of a supplemental indenture referred
to in Section 7.01 hereof, and not later than five days after such mailing of
the notice of the proposed execution and delivery in the case of a supplemental
indenture provided for in Section 7.02 hereof.

            Section 7.04 Authorization to Trustee; Effect of Supplement. The
Trustee is authorized to join with the Issuer in the execution of any
supplemental indenture provided for in this Article and to make the further
agreements and stipulations which may be contained therein. Any supplemental
indenture executed in accordance with the provisions of this Article shall
thereafter form a part of this Indenture; all the terms and conditions contained
in any such supplemental indenture as to any provision authorized to be
contained therein shall be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this
Indenture for any and all purposes; this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be
modified and amended in accordance therewith; and the respective rights, duties
and obligations under this Indenture of the



                                     - 92 -
<PAGE>   98
Issuer, the Company, the Trustee, the Letter of Credit Bank, the Remarketing
Agent, the Indexing Agent, the Paying Agents and all holders of Bonds then
outstanding shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced thereunder,
subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments. Express reference
to such executed supplemental indenture may be made in the text of any Bonds
issued thereafter, if deemed necessary or desirable by the Trustee or the
Issuer. A copy of any supplemental indenture provided for in this Article,
except such as may be entered into pursuant to clause (g) of Section 7.01
hereof, shall be mailed by the Trustee to the Original Purchaser of each and
every series of Bonds affected thereby.

            Section 7.05 Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall be entitled to
receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, the opinion of any
counsel approved by it, who may be counsel for the Issuer, as conclusive
evidence that any such proposed supplemental indenture complies with the
provisions of this Indenture, and that it is proper for the Trustee, under the
provisions of this Article, to join in the execution of such supplemental
indenture.

            Section 7.06 Modification by Unanimous Consent. Notwithstanding
anything contained elsewhere in this Indenture, the rights and obligations of
the Issuer and of the holders of the Bonds, and the terms and provisions of the
Bonds and this Indenture or any supplemental indenture, may be modified or
altered in any respect with the consent of the Issuer, the consent of the
Trustee, the consent of the Letter of Credit Bank and the consent of the holders
of all of the Bonds then outstanding and, if required by Section 7.03 hereof,
the consent of the Company.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                DISCHARGE OF LIEN

            Section 8.01 Release of Indenture. If the Issuer shall pay or cause
to be paid and discharged all the outstanding Bonds or there shall otherwise be
paid to the holders of the outstanding Bonds all Bond service charges due or to
become due thereon, and provision shall also be made for paying all other sums
payable hereunder by the Issuer or by the Company, including the fees or
expenses of the Trustee, then and in that event this Indenture (except for
Sections 4.0l, 4.02, 4.07 and 8.02 hereof) shall cease, determine and become
null and void, and the covenants, agreements and other obligations of the Issuer
hereunder shall be discharged and satisfied, and thereupon the Trustee shall
release this Indenture, including the cancellation and discharge of the lien
hereof, and execute and deliver to the Issuer such instruments in writing as
shall be requisite to satisfy the lien hereof and to enter on the records such
satisfaction and discharge and such other


                                     - 93 -
<PAGE>   99
instruments to evidence such release and discharge as may be reasonably required
by the Issuer; and the Trustee and Paying Agents shall assign and deliver to the
Issuer any property, other than the Note or Notes, at the time subject to the
lien of this Indenture which may then be in their possession, except amounts in
the Bond Fund required to be paid to the Company or the Letter of Credit Bank
under Section 4.07 hereof, or to be held by the Trustee and Paying Agents under
Section 4.02 hereof or otherwise for the payment of Bond service charges.

            Section 8.02 Payment and Discharge of Bonds. All the outstanding
Bonds of one or more series or of one or more maturities within any series shall
be deemed to have been paid and discharged within the meaning of this Indenture,
including, without limitation, Section 8.01 hereof, if:

            (a)   the Trustee and the Paying Agents shall hold in the Bond Fund
                  in trust for and irrevocably committed thereto, sufficient
                  moneys drawn under the Letter of Credit plus any premium
                  deposited by the Company with the Trustee for at least 91
                  days, or

            (b)   the Trustee shall hold in the Bond Fund in trust for and
                  irrevocably committed thereto, direct obligations of, or
                  obligations guaranteed by, the United States (or securities or
                  receipts evidencing ownership interests in such obligations)
                  which have been purchased from moneys drawn under the Letter
                  of Credit plus any premium deposited by the Company with the
                  Trustee for at least 91 days certified by an independent
                  accounting firm of national reputation to be of such
                  maturities and interest payment dates and to bear such
                  interest as will, without further investment or reinvestment
                  of either the principal amount thereof or the interest
                  earnings therefrom (likewise to be held in trust and
                  committed, except as hereinafter provided), be sufficient
                  together with moneys (if any) referred to in (a) above,

for the payment, at their maturities or redemption dates, of all Bond service
charges thereon to the date of maturity or redemption, as the case may be, or if
default in such payment shall have occurred on such date then to the date of the
tender of such payment; provided, that if any of such Bonds are to be redeemed
prior to the maturity thereof, notice of such redemption shall have been duly
given or irrevocable provision satisfactory to the Trustee shall have been duly
made for the giving of such notice. Any moneys held by the Trustee in accordance
with the provisions of this Section may be invested


                                     - 94 -
<PAGE>   100
by the Trustee, but only in direct obligations of, or obligations guaranteed by,
the United States the maturities or redemption dates of which, at the option of
the holder, shall coincide as nearly as practicable with, but not later than,
the time or times at which said moneys will be required for the aforesaid
purposes. Any income or interest earned by, or increment to, the investments
held under this Section shall, to the extent determined from time to time by the
Trustee to be in excess of the amount required to be held by it for the purposes
of this Section, be transferred at the time of such determination as provided in
Section 4.07 hereof for transfers of remaining amounts in the Bond Fund. In the
event of non-presentment as referred to in Section 4.02 hereof, the moneys held
pursuant to this Section to which Section 4.02 would apply but for the release
of this Indenture shall be held and paid as provided for in said Section 4.02.
Bonds so paid and discharged shall thereafter be secured solely by the moneys
and investments so deposited and held for their payment, and shall no longer be
secured by the Pledged Receipts or a lien upon the Note or Notes, provided that
if payment or provision therefor has been made in accordance with this Section
8.02 with respect to all the Bonds of any series of Bonds or of one or more
maturities within any series, the Trustee shall surrender the Note or Notes
relating to such Bonds to the Company.

             In the event that this Indenture is satisfied and discharged in
accordance with the first paragraph of this Section and Section 8.01 hereof, the
holders of any Bonds then outstanding, the maturity or redemption dates thereof
having not then arrived, shall have the right (to the extent that such will not
result in insufficient moneys to pay Bond service charges on other Bonds at
maturity or redemption) as of and on any Interest Payment Date to surrender said
Bonds to a Paying Agent designated in such Bonds, and, upon such surrender, to
be paid the principal amount of any Bond surrendered, plus the redemption
premium, if any, held in accordance with this Section on account of the
surrendered Bond, plus interest accrued on any such Bond so surrendered computed
to such Interest Payment Date; provided that such right may be exercised only
after the holders of any such Bonds to be surrendered have given written notice
to the Trustee, at least sixty days before the Interest Payment Date on which
they request such payment, of their intent to so surrender the Bonds for such
payment and setting forth in such notice the Bonds to be surrendered. If any
Bond as to which such notice of intent has been given is not surrendered on or
before such Interest Payment Date, surrender thereof for payment need not be
accepted for a period of one year from said date. The Trustee shall give notice
within thirty days after such discharge and satisfaction of this Indenture in
the same manner as provided in Section 3 of the Bond Legislation for the Project
Bonds for notice of call for redemption, to the holders of such Bonds provided
for in this paragraph of their rights under this



                                     - 95 -
<PAGE>   101
paragraph; provided that failure so to mail any such notice shall not impose any
liability on the Trustee nor affect the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

            Section 9.01 Instruments of Bondholders. Any consent, request,
direction, approval, objection or other instrument required by the Indenture to
be signed and executed by the Bondholders may be in any number of concurrent
writings of similar tenor and may be signed or executed by such Bondholders in
person or by agent appointed in writing. Proof of the execution of any such
consent, request, direction, approval, objection or other instrument or of the
writing appointing any such agent and of the ownership of Bonds, if made in the
following manner shall be sufficient for any of the purposes of this Indenture,
and shall be conclusive in favor of the Trustee with regard to any action taken
under such request or other instrument, namely:

            (a)   The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such
                  writing may be proved by the certificate of any officer in any
                  jurisdiction, who by law has power to take acknowledgments
                  within such jurisdiction, that the person signing such writing
                  acknowledged before him the execution thereof, or by affidavit
                  of any witness to such execution.

            (b)   The fact of ownership of fully registered Bonds shall be
                  proved by the registration books maintained by the Bond
                  Registrar.

            Nothing contained herein shall be construed as limiting the Trustee
to such proof, it being intended that the Trustee may accept any other evidence
of the matter herein stated which it deems to be sufficient. Any request or
consent of the holder of any Bond shall bind every future holder of the same
Bond in respect to anything done or suffered to be done by the Issuer, the
Trustee or any Paying Agent in pursuance of such request or consent.

            Section 9.02 Limitation of Rights. With the exception of rights
herein expressly conferred, nothing expressed or mentioned in or to be implied

in respect to this Indenture or any covenants, conditions and provisions herein
contained; this Indenture and

of this Indenture, or in case any covenant, stipulation, obligation, agreement,
act, or action, or part thereof, made, assumed, entered into, or taken under
this Indenture, or any application thereof, is for any reason held to be
illegal, invalid or inoperable, such illegality or invalidity or inoperability
shall not affect the remainder thereof or any other clause, provision or section
of this Indenture or any other covenant, stipulation, obligation, agreement,
act, or action, or part thereof, made, assumed, entered into, or taken under
this Indenture, which shall at the time be construed and enforced as if such
illegal or invalid or inoperable portion were not contained herein, nor shall
such illegality or invalidity or inoperability or any application thereof affect
any legal and valid and operable application from time to time, and each such
section, provision, covenant, stipulation, obligation, agreement, act, or
action, or part thereof, shall be deemed to be effective, operative, made,
entered into or taken in the manner and to the full extent from time to time

the Indenture shall be effective to the extent authorized and permitted by
applicable law. No such covenant, stipulation, obligation or agreement shall be
deemed to be a covenant, stipulation, obligation or agreement of any present or
future member, officer, agent or employee of the Issuer or its Legislative
Authority in his individual capacity, and neither the members of the Legislative
Authority nor any official executing the Bonds shall be liable personally on the
Bonds or be subject to any personal liability or accountability by reason of the
issuance thereof.

duly authorized pursuant to law to create and issue the Bonds and enter into
this Indenture and to pledge the Pledged Receipts, the Bond Fund and all its

                              ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS;
                       COMPANY TO EXECUTE AND DELIVER NOTE

deposited with the Trustee and disbursed, after deducting the Bond Fund Payment
as provided in the Indenture, in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2
hereof in payment of costs of the Project and costs of issuance and sale of the

attached hereto as Exhibit A, evidencing the obligation of the Company to repay
the Loan made by the Issuer. Such Note shall be dated as of September 1, 1986,
shall be payable to the order of the Issuer for the principal amount of the
Loan, and shall be payable in the amounts and at the rates set forth in such
Note. Such amounts of principal, interest and premium, if any, shall together
constitute the Loan Payments.

                  The Company shall, simultaneously with the delivery of the
Project Bonds and the Note, deliver or cause to be delivered the Letter of
Credit to the Trustee. The Company agrees that it will not, either by its action
or inaction, in any way adversely affect the continuation or effectiveness of
the Letter of Credit.

                  All Loan Payments made hereunder on account of principal of
and interest and any premium on the Note shall be made directly to the Trustee
at its corporate trust office for the account of the Issuer for deposit in the
Reimbursement Account in the Bond Fund.

                  The Company shall have the right to prepay the Loan in full
and without premium or penalty but with accrued interest to the date of such
prepayment on the amount prepaid, upon the happening of an event described in
Section 8.2(a) or (b) of this Agreement, and the Company shall also have the
option, exercisable on any Interest Payment Date, to prepay all or part (in the
amount of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof) of the Loan, without premium
or penalty, but with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment; provided,
however, that before the Company gives the notice in accordance with Section 8.4
of this Agreement of its intention to exercise its option to prepay the Loan in
whole or in part, the Company shall deposit with the Letter of Credit Bank the
full amount of the prepayment price, including accrued interest to the date of
prepayment specified in

                                     - 15 -

the aforesaid notice, or alternatively, obtains a written waiver of such deposit
requirement from the Letter of Credit Bank. The Company shall be required to
prepay the Loan in full with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on
the amount prepaid, upon the happening of an event described in Section 8.3 of
this Agreement. Any such prepayment pursuant to said Section 8.3 shall be
without premium or penalty. Any such optional or mandatory prepayment shall be
made pursuant to the notice provisions described in Section 8.4 of this
Agreement.

                  In any event, the sum of the Loan Payments payable under this
Section shall be sufficient to pay the total amount due with respect to the
principal of, premium (if any) and interest on the Bonds as and when due, and if
at any time when said payments are due the balance in the Bond Fund is
insufficient to make such payments, the Company will forthwith pay to the
Trustee, for the account of the Issuer for deposit into the Bond Fund, any such
deficiency; provided, that any amount at any time held by the Trustee in the
Bond Fund as the Bond Fund Payment, as interest earned on moneys held by the
Trustee and deposited in the Reimbursement Account in the Bond Fund, as the
proceeds of business interruption insurance, or as a result of the payment of
any penalties or liquidated damages received or withheld under construction
contracts and deposited in the Reimbursement Account in the Bond Fund shall be
transferred by the Trustee to the Letter of Credit Bank pursuant to Section 4.15
of the Indenture, and provided further, that if at any time all the outstanding
Bonds are paid and discharged within the meaning of the Indenture and the Letter
of Credit Bank has been fully reimbursed under the Reimbursement Agreement, the
Company shall not be obligated to make any further Loan Payments under this
Section . All payments made pursuant to this Section shall be made in such
manner and at such times as shall be necessary to assure that the Trustee shall
receive such payments in sufficient time to permit payment of the amounts of the
principal of, and interest and any premium on the Bonds when the same shall
respectively become due and payable.

                  The Issuer and the Company have provided for the payment of
the principal of the Project Bonds, upon maturity, redemption or acceleration,
and up to 195 days' interest on the Project Bonds from payments to be made by
the Letter of Credit Bank to the Trustee pursuant to the Letter of Credit.

the Project Bonds as they become due, including as a result of a Determination
of Taxability. The Issuer and the Company authorize the Trustee to draw moneys,
in which moneys the Company has no interest, under the Letter of Credit in an
amount sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Project Bonds at
least two (2) days prior to the date such principal or interest becomes due. The
amount of such drawings shall be

                           Project; provided, that with respect to special
                           assessments or other governmental charges that may

its own name and behalf or in the name and behalf of the Issuer, in good faith
contest any such taxes, assessments and other charges and, in the event of any
such contest, may permit the taxes, assessments or other charges so contested to
remain unpaid (except where tender of all or a portion of the taxes, assessments
or other charges may be made without prejudice to the Company's contest
regarding same, in which case such tender shall be made to avoid the imposition
of any penalty) during the period of such contest and any appeal therefrom

shall be promptly satisfied and discharged by payment thereof, by furnishing a
bond satisfactory to the Trustee and the Letter of Credit Bank, or by payment to

any such cost, expense or liability (other than any amount which represents
principal of or interest or any premium on any Bonds).

Section 2.1 hereof, a Note or Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to

                           Bonds.

                  Upon payment in full of the principal of and interest and any
premium on any or all Bonds, whether at maturity or by redemption or otherwise,
and the surrender thereof to, and cancellation thereof by, the Trustee, or upon
provision for the payment thereof having been made in accordance with the
provisions of the Indenture, the Notes, issued concurrently with such Bonds, of
the same maturity, bearing the same interest rate and in an amount equal to the
aggregate principal amount of such Bonds so surrendered and cancelled or for the
payment of which provision has been made, shall be deemed fully paid and the
obligations of the Company thereunder terminated and such Notes shall be
cancelled and surrendered by the Issuer or the Trustee to the Company.
Notwithstanding the previous sentence, in the event that moneys sufficient for
such payment have been paid to the Trustee by the Letter of Credit Bank, the
Trustee shall upon written instructions of the Letter of Credit Bank assign all
of its right, title and interest in and to the Notes, together with the
Mortgage, the Security Agreement, Guarantee Agreement, Additional Guarantees and
Assignment of Partnership Interests to the Letter of Credit Bank. The Company
hereby agrees and consents to such an assignment without defense or set-off by
reason of any dispute between the Company and the Trustee. Unless the Company is
entitled to a credit under express terms of

                                     - 19 -

this Agreement or the Indenture, all payments on each Note shall be in the full
amount required thereunder. Each Note shall be payable to the Issuer and shall
not be negotiated by the Issuer, except to effect assignment thereof to the
Trustee and to any successor trustee under the Indenture.

                  Section 2.4. Assignment of Payments and Note. The Issuer will,
as security for payment of the Bonds, concurrently with the issuance of the
Bonds, pledge and assign to the Trustee all right, title and interest of the
Issuer in and to the corresponding Note and the Issuer's rights under this
Agreement to receive the Loan Payments, including the right to receive payments
under such Note (but specifically excluding Unassigned Issuer's Rights), and
hereby covenants and agrees with the Company to pledge, assign and deliver the
Note issued pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof to the Trustee. The Issuer hereby
authorizes and directs the Company and the Company hereby agrees, to pay all
Loan Payments directly to the Trustee at its corporate trust office for the
account of the Issuer and for deposit in the Bond Fund. Additional Payments
shall be paid directly to the person or entity to whom or to which they are due.
The Company will, as additional security for payment of the Bonds, concurrently
with the issuance of the Bonds and the Issuer's assignment of the Note, mortgage
the Project to the Trustee and the Letter of Credit Bank, pursuant to the
Mortgage, and will execute and deliver the Security Agreement and cause the
execution and delivery of the Guarantee Agreement, and the Additional
Guarantees.

                  Section 2.5. Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the
Company to make payments pursuant to this Agreement and to perform and observe
the other agreements on its part contained herein shall be absolute and
unconditional. Until such time as all conditions provided in the Indenture for
release of the Indenture are met, the Company (i) will not suspend or
discontinue any payments pursuant to the Note or Notes or this Agreement, (ii)
will perform and observe all of its other agreements contained in this
Agreement, and (iii) except as provided in Article VIII hereof, will not
terminate this Agreement for any cause including, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, failure to complete the Project, failure of title
to the Project or Project Site or any portion thereof, any acts or circumstances
that may constitute failure of consideration, destruction of or damage to the
Project, or any portion thereof, commercial frustration of purpose, any change
in the tax or other laws or administrative rulings of or administrative actions
by or under authority of the United States of America or of the State or any
failure of the Issuer or the Letter of Credit Bank to perform and observe any
agreement, whether expressed or implied, or any duty, liability or obligation
arising out of or connected with this Agreement or the Reimbursement Agreement
or the Indenture. Nothing contained in

                                     - 20 -
<PAGE>   26
this Section shall be construed to release the Issuer from the performance of
any of the agreements on its part contained in this Agreement, and in the event
the Issuer should fail to perform any such agreement on its part, the Company
may institute such action against the Issuer as the Company may deem necessary
to compel performance or recover its damages for nonperformance so long as such
action shall not do violence to the agreements on the part of the Company
contained in the next preceding sentence. The Company may, however, at its own
cost and expense and in its own name or, to the extent lawful, in the name of
the Issuer, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding or take any other
action involving third persons which the Company deems reasonably necessary in
order to secure or protect its rights hereunder, and in such event the Issuer
hereby agrees to cooperate fully with the Company so far as lawful, but at the
Company's expense, and to take all action necessary to effect the substitution
of the Company for the Issuer in any such action or proceeding if the Company
shall so request, or if the Issuer shall determine such action to be in its
interest. This provision shall not be construed to require cooperation by the
Issuer with the Company in any labor dispute.

                  Section 2.6. Prepayment of Loan and Additional Payments;
Moneys for Purchase or Optional Redemption. Except as provided in Sections 8.2
and 8.3 hereof, the Company shall not be entitled to prepay all or any part of
the Loan prior to March 1, 1987. On March 1, 1987, and on any Interest Payment
Date thereafter, the Company shall have the option to prepay all or part (in the
amount of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof) of the Loan (i) at the
prepayment price provided in Section 2.1 of this Agreement, (ii) upon depositing
sufficient moneys with the Letter of Credit Bank as set forth in said Section 
2.1, and (iii) upon giving notice in accordance with Section 8.4 hereof.

                  The Issuer agrees that it shall take all steps that may be
necessary to ensure that the Trustee accept such prepayment of the Loan, or of
any Additional Payments when the same are tendered by the Company for deposit by
the Trustee in the Reimbursement Account in the Bond Fund to be used to
reimburse the Letter of Credit Bank for any draw under the Letter of Credit used
to redeem Project Bonds on the corresponding Bond Redemption Date. Payments
required under the Note shall be accelerated as necessary to correspond with, in
time and amount, payments of principal of and interest and premium, if any, on
the Bonds.

                  Section 2.7. Past Due Loan Payments and Additional Payments.
In the event that the Company should fail to pay any Loan Payments or Additional
Payments, the payment in default shall continue as an obligation of the Company
with interest payable at the Interest Rate for Advances until the amount in
default shall have been fully paid; provided, however, that anything herein to
the contrary notwithstanding the rate of

                                     - 21 -
<PAGE>   27
interest on any Loan Payment in default shall not be less than the rate of
interest on the Bonds to which such Loan Payment relates.

                  Section 2.8. Redemption of Bonds. The Issuer, at the written
request at any time of the Company, and upon provision first made for the
Issuer's expenses, if any, shall forthwith take all steps that may be necessary
under the applicable redemption provisions of the Indenture to effect the
redemption of all or part of the then outstanding Bonds, as may be specified by
the Company, on the earliest redemption date on which such redemption may be
made under such applicable provisions.

                  Section 2.9. Application of Certain Proceeds. So long as the
Company is not in default hereunder or under the Note, the Trustee shall, with
respect to amounts deposited in the Reimbursement Account in the Bond Fund
pursuant to Sections 3.1(c) (penalties or liquidated damages received or
withheld under construction contracts), 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 or 5.8 hereof, reimburse
the Letter of Credit Bank for corresponding draws under the Letter of Credit
used to redeem Project Bonds (if such Bonds are subject to redemption under
applicable provisions hereof or of the Indenture). In lieu of such redemption
(if such Bonds are not subject to redemption under applicable provisions hereof
or of the Indenture), at the Company's option, with the concurrence of the
Letter of Credit Bank, such amounts may (i) be retained in the Reimbursement
Account in the Bond Fund and used for the purposes for which said Account is
created if the Trustee and the Letter of Credit Bank receive an opinion from a
firm of nationally-recognized bond counsel that such retention will not cause
the Bonds to become taxable, or (ii) be used to purchase Bonds on the open
market at prices not exceeding par plus accrued interest to the date of payment
therefor and surrender Bonds so purchased to the Trustee for cancellation.

                  Section 2.10. Adjustment of Loan Payments in the Event of
Redemption or Cancellation of Project Bonds. In the event the Issuer redeems any
Project Bonds or in the event the Company delivers to the Trustee any Project
Bonds with instructions to cancel said Bonds, then in that event the principal
amount of such Bonds shall be allowed as a credit against principal payable
under the Note in the inverse order of principal payments due under the Note.

                  Section 2.11 Assignment of Agreement and Pledged Receipts. To
secure the payment of Bond service charges, the Issuer shall assign, by the
Indenture, its rights under and interest in this Agreement (except for the
Unassigned Issuer's Rights) and the Pledged Receipts to the Trustee. The Company
hereby agrees and consents to those assignments.

                  Section 2.12 Payments to Remarketing Agent. The Company shall
pay to the Remarketing Agent on or before each Interest Payment Date on which
the Remarketing Agent is required to remarket Project Bonds, an amount equal to
the amount to be paid by the Remarketing Agent for the purchase of Project Bonds
on such Interest Payment Date, pursuant to the Indenture, provided that amounts
available on such Interest Payment Date for such payment from either:

                           (i)  proceeds of the remarketing of such Project
                  Bonds by the Remarketing Agent, or

                           (ii)  proceeds of a draw under the Letter of
                  Credit

shall be credited against the Company's obligation to make payments under this
Section 2.12.

                  The Company hereby consents to the appointment of the
Remarketing Agent and any successor Remarketing Agent pursuant to and as
specified in Sections 5.18 and 5.19 of the Indenture and to the appointment of
the Indexing Agent and any successor Indexing Agent pursuant to and as specified
in Section 5.25 of the Indenture.

of the Project Bonds to the Original Purchaser pursuant to the Indenture, the
Company shall obtain and deliver, to the Trustee, the Letter of Credit. The
initial Letter of Credit shall be issued by the Letter of Credit Bank pursuant
to the Reimbursement Agreement; shall be dated the date of delivery of the
Project Bonds; shall expire on September 2, 1991, subject to extension in
accordance with the terms thereof and of the Reimbursement Agreement; may be
replaced by an Alternate Letter of Credit complying with the provisions of
Section 4.16 of the Indenture; shall obligate the Letter of Credit Bank to pay
to the Trustee up to (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Project Bonds (a)
to enable the Trustee to pay the principal of the Project Bonds at maturity,
upon redemption or acceleration, and (b) to enable the Remarketing Agent to pay
the portion of the purchase price of Project Bonds delivered to, and not
remarketed by, the Remarketing Agent, equal to the aggregate principal amount of
such Project Bonds, and (ii) an amount equal to the portion of the purchase
price of Project Bonds delivered to and remarketed by the Remarketing Agent,
representing any discount at which the Project Bonds are remarketed as permitted
by Section 5.20 of the Indenture, plus (iii) an amount equal to the maximum
interest (at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum) to accrue on the
Project Bonds for one hundred ninety-five (195) days to enable the Trustee to
pay interest on the Project Bonds; and shall be in substantially the same form
as attached to the Reimbursement Agreement and made a part thereof.

                  The Company shall take whatever action may be necessary to

Letter of Credit Bank of all amounts payable under the Reimbursement Agreement
at the times and in the amounts described therein and the payment of any
transfer fees required by the Letter of Credit Bank upon any transfer of the
Letter of Credit or an Alternate Letter of Credit to any successor Trustee

                           the Project, construction to be performed by its
                           regular collective bargaining unit employees who
                           are covered under a collective bargaining
                           agreement which was in existence prior to the date
                           of the commitment instrument undertaking to issue
                           the Project Bonds, then, in that event, the rate
                           of pay provided under the collective bargaining
                           agreement may be paid to such employees.  To the
                           extent required by Section 4115.032 of the Ohio
                           Revised Code, the Company shall comply, and shall

                           including, without implied limitation, obtaining
                           or causing to be obtained from the Ohio Department
                           of Industrial Relations ("Department") its
                           determination of the prevailing rates of wages to
                           be paid for the class of work called for by the
                           Project and requesting it to designate a
                           prevailing wage coordinator ("Coordinator") for
                           the Project, pursuant to Section 4115.032 of the
                           Ohio Revised Code.  Prior to issuance of the

                           or refusal by the Department to designate a
                           Coordinator for the Project within thirty days of
                           receipt of such request, the Issuer shall

                           interim Coordinator for the Project until the
                           Department designates a Coordinator, and the cost
                           of such employee's services, based upon the time
                           of such employee expended in performing such

                           total of the costs of the issuance, sale and delivery
                           of the Project Bonds and any cost incurred prior to

                           Construction Fund exceed the amount specified above
                           shall only be applied by the Company as set forth in
                           clause (i) above to redeem or retire Bonds, or a
                           portion thereof at the earlier of their next

                           not exceed the yield on the Bonds, and provided
                           further that with regard to such redemption or
                           retirement of Bonds, such excess shall not be applied
                           to any premium which is paid for such Bonds.

                  Each of the payments referred to in the preceding subsections
(a) through (f) above shall be made only upon satisfaction by the Company of all
requirements for each disbursement under the terms of the Disbursement Agreement
and each such disbursement shall be made by the Trustee only in accordance with
the provisions of the Disbursement Agreement.

                  Section 4.3.  Obligation of the Parties to Cooperate in
Furnishing Documents.  The Issuer and the Company agree to
cooperate in furnishing the documents referred to in Section 4.2

                                     - 31 -

hereof that are required to effect payments out of the Construction Fund, and to
cause such approvals and orders to be directed by the Authorized Company
Representative to the Trustee as may be necessary to effect payments out of the
Construction Fund in accordance with Section 4.2 hereof. The Issuer's obligation
is subject to any provisions of this Agreement or the Indenture requiring
additional documentation with respect to payments and shall not extend beyond
the moneys in the Construction Fund available for payment under the terms of the
Indenture.

                  Section 4.4. Company Required to Pay Costs in Event
Construction Fund Insufficient. In the event the moneys in the Construction Fund
(including moneys from the proceeds of any Additional Bonds sold to finance
completion of the Project) should not be sufficient to pay all costs payable
therefrom, the Company agrees, in order to fulfill the public purposes for which
the Project is to be used, to complete the acquisition, improvement,
construction, installation and equipment to be accomplished pursuant hereto and
to pay all costs therefor in full; provided, however, that nothing contained
herein shall impair the Company's rights under Article VIII hereof. The Issuer
does not make any warranty, either expressed or implied, that the moneys, which
will be paid into the Construction Fund and which under the provisions of this
Agreement will be available for payment of the costs of the acquisition,
improvement, construction, installation and equipment to be accomplished
pursuant hereto, will be sufficient to pay all the costs which will be incurred
in that connection. The Company agrees that if after exhaustion of the moneys in
the Construction Fund the Company should pay pursuant hereto any portion of the
said costs listed in Section 4.2 hereof, it shall not be entitled to any
reimbursement therefor from the Issuer, the Trustee, or the holders of any of
the Bonds, nor shall it be entitled to any diminution in or abatement or
postponement of the Loan Payments.

                  Section 4.5. Investment of Fund Moneys. Except as otherwise
provided in the Indenture, any moneys held as part of the Bond Fund or
Construction Fund shall at the oral (and if oral, to be confirmed in writing) or
written request of the Authorized Company Representative be invested or
reinvested by the Trustee as specified in the Indenture. The Issuer and the
Company jointly and severally covenant that the use of the proceeds of the Bonds
will be restricted in such manner and to such extent, if any, as may be
necessary, after taking into account reasonable expectations at the time of
issuance of the Bonds, so that they will not constitute "arbitrage bonds" within
the meaning of Section 103(c) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations
prescribed under that Section. The Company and the Issuer hereby agree that the
gross proceeds of the Project Bonds will be restricted, invested and rebated as
provided in Section 6.2(t) hereof. Any officer of the Issuer having

                                     - 32 -
<PAGE>   38
responsibility with respect to the issuance of the Bonds is authorized and
directed, alone or in conjunction with any other officer, partner, employee or
consultant of the Issuer or the Company, and upon receipt of satisfactory
indemnities from the Company, to give an appropriate certificate on behalf of
the Issuer, for inclusion in the transcript of proceedings for the Bonds,
setting forth the facts, estimates and circumstances and reasonable expectations
pertaining to said Section 103(c) and regulations thereunder. The Clerk of the
Legislative Authority shall cause to be furnished as provided in the Indenture a
true transcript of certified proceedings including all proceedings had with
reference to the issuance of the Bonds along with such other information as is
necessary or proper with respect to the Bonds.

                         DESTRUCTION AND EMINENT DOMAIN


                  Section 5.1. Maintenance. So long as any of the Bonds are
outstanding within the meaning of the Indenture, the Company shall keep and
maintain the Project, including all appurtenances thereto and any personal
property therein or thereon, in good repair and good operating condition.

                  So long as such shall not be in violation of the Act, and
provided there is continued compliance with applicable laws and regulations of
governmental jurisdictions, the Company shall have the right to remodel the
Project or make additions, modifications and improvements thereto, from time to
time as it, in its discretion, may deem to be desirable for its uses and
purposes, the cost of which remodeling, additions, modifications and
improvements shall be paid by the Company or, to the extent permitted by the
Indenture, from the proceeds of Additional Bonds, and the same shall, when made,
become a part of the Project, provided, however, that any such remodeling shall
not have a material adverse effect on the value of the Project; and provided
further, however, that the Company shall not, except as required by law, remodel
the Project or make any additions, modifications, or improvements thereto which
would cause the Project to fail to meet the requirements of all applicable fire
and safety codes.

                  Section 5.2. Removal of Portions of the Project. The Company
may remove items of furnishings or equipment constituting part of the Project
only in accordance with the provisions of the Reimbursement Agreement and the
Mortgage.

                  Section 5.3. Option to Release Portion of Project. The Company
has the option, with the consent of the Letter of Credit Bank, to release from
the lien of the Mortgage any portion of the land, upon which no buildings,
structures, or improvements financed from Bond proceeds are located, and
appurtenances thereto and any equipment and fixtures which are subject to the
lien of the Mortgage provided that an independent architect or engineer
certifies that such real and personal property is not necessary for the
operation of the Project and the release will not interfere with the use of the
Project. To the extent that (i) any of such equipment and fixtures are necessary
for the operation of the Project or (ii) the Company does not desire to purchase
any of such equipment and fixtures, and in either case such equipment and
fixtures can be moved to another location on the Project Site, then such
equipment and fixtures shall be moved and shall not be released hereunder. The
purchase price for such release shall be the fair market value of such property
as

                                     - 34 -
<PAGE>   40
determined by three independent real estate appraisers (selected in the manner
provided in Section 5.4(1) hereof). The purchase price will be deposited in the
Reimbursement Account in the Bond Fund and used for the purposes for which the
Reimbursement Account in the Bond Fund was created.

                  Section 5.4. Insurance Required. During the Construction
Period and throughout the term of the Note, the Company shall keep the Project,
or cause the same to be kept, continuously insured against such risks as are
customarily insured against with respect to facilities of like size and type,
paying as the same become due all premiums in respect thereto, including, but
not limited to:

                  (1)      builder's risk insurance, and prior to the expiration
                           of such builder's risk insurance, insurance on the
                           repair or replacement basis in an amount of not less
                           than 100% of the then actual cost of replacement
                           (excluding costs of replacing excavations and
                           foundations but without deduction for depreciation)
                           on the Project (with deductible provisions not to
                           exceed $50,000 in any one casualty) against loss or
                           damage by fire, lightning, windstorm, hail,
                           explosion, riot, riot attending a strike, civil
                           commotion, aircraft, vehicles and smoke and such
                           other risks as are now or hereafter included in
                           uniform standard extended coverage endorsement in
                           common use for similar structures (including
                           vandalism and malicious mischief). In the case of any
                           dispute regarding the repair or replacement value of
                           the Project, such dispute shall be determined by
                           three independent appraisers who are members of the
                           American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers, one
                           appointed by the Company, one appointed by the
                           Trustee and Letter of Credit Bank jointly, and a

                  All insurance required herein shall be taken out and
maintained in generally recognized responsible insurance companies, with at
least an A+ Class XII Best's rating or otherwise acceptable to the Letter of
Credit Bank and the Trustee, qualified to do business in the State, selected by
the Company. All policies evidencing such insurance shall provide for payment to

(2), and (3)

                                     - 36 -

hereof shall contain standard mortgagee clauses naming the Trustee and the
Letter of Credit Bank, as their interests may appear, and requiring that all Net
Proceeds of insurance resulting from any claim in excess of $5,000 for loss or
damage covered thereby be paid to the Trustee and the Letter of Credit Bank;
provided, however, that all claims regardless of amount may be adjusted by the
Company with the insurers, subject to approval of the Trustee and the Letter of
Credit Bank as to any settlement of any claim in excess of $5,000, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. A certificate or certificates of
the insurers that such insurance is in force and effect shall be deposited with
the Trustee and the Letter of Credit Bank at the time such insurance is to be in
force and effect; and prior to the expiration of any such policy the Company
shall furnish the Trustee and the Letter of Credit Bank with evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Letter of Credit Bank that the policy has
been renewed or replaced or is no longer required by this Agreement. In lieu of
separate policies, the Company may maintain one or more blanket policies of
insurance having the coverage required hereby. All such policies shall provide
that such insurance may not be modified adversely to the interests of the Issuer
or the Trustee or the Letter of Credit Bank or canceled by the issuer thereof
before the Bonds and the obligations of the Company under the Reimbursement
Agreement have been fully paid without at least thirty (30) days' notice to the
Company, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Letter of Credit Bank. If available,
all such policies shall provide that (i) any defenses against the Company shall
not affect the rights of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Letter of Credit Bank
thereunder; (ii) any loss shall be payable notwithstanding any act or negligence
of the Issuer or the Company or others that might otherwise result in forfeiture
of the insurance; (iii) the insurer waives the right of subrogation against the
Issuer and the Trustee and the Letter of Credit Bank and the Project; and (iv)
the policies are primary and noncontributory with any insurance that may be
carried by the Issuer or the Trustee or the Letter of Credit Bank.

                  Section 5.5. Title Insurance. The Company will prior to, or
simultaneously with, the issuance of the Bonds, obtain and furnish title
insurance in the form of an ALTA mortgagee's title binder issued by Chicago
Title Insurance Company in the face amount of $2,495,500 and will furnish a copy
of such binder to the Letter of Credit Bank and the Trustee. The Company will
furnish within the time limit specified in such binder a mortgagee's title
policy issued by such title insurance company. The mortgagee's title policy
shall insure that the Trustee and the Letter of Credit Bank, as their respective
interests appear, have a first mortgage in the Project Site and all improvements
thereon subject only to this Agreement and the "Permitted Encumbrances" as
defined in the Mortgage. Any Net Proceeds payable either to the Company or the
Trustee or the Letter of

                                     - 37 -
<PAGE>   43
Credit Bank under such policy shall be subject to the lien of the Indenture,
shall be paid to the Trustee and the Letter of Credit Bank and shall, at the
Company's option with the consent of the Letter of Credit Bank, be (a) used
(subject to the prior concurrence of the Trustee and the Letter of Credit Bank)
to acquire and construct replacement or substitute property for that to which
title has been lost, or (b) used to redeem or purchase Bonds at the earliest
possible date pursuant to the Indenture, or (c) used to discharge the title
defect with respect to which such Net Proceeds were paid. Any proceeds of title
insurance remaining after the Bonds are fully paid shall be paid first to the
Letter of Credit Bank to the extent of any amounts payable by the Company to the
Letter of Credit Bank under the terms of the Reimbursement Agreement and
thereafter to the Company. Any such replacement or substitute property must be
approved in writing by the Authorized Issuer Representative and must be subject
to the lien of the Mortgage.

                  Section 5.6. Worker's Compensation Coverage. While the Note
and any obligation under the Reimbursement Agreement remains unpaid, including
the Construction Period, the Company shall maintain or cause to be maintained,
in connection with the Project, the Worker's Compensation coverage required by
the laws of the State.

                  Section 5.7. Mechanics' Liens. The Company shall not suffer or
permit any mechanics' liens to be filed against the Project, nor against any
Loan Payment paid or payable hereunder, by reason of work, labor, services or
materials supplied or claimed to have been supplied to the Company or anyone
holding the Project or any part thereof through or under the Company. If any
such mechanics' liens shall at any time be filed, the Company shall, within
ninety (90) days after notice of the filing thereof, cause the same to be
discharged of record by payment, deposit, bond, order of a court of competent
jurisdiction or otherwise. The Company shall have the right to contest the
validity and the amount of any such lien by appropriate proceedings timely
instituted, provided that the Company (a) gives the Issuer, the Trustee and the
Letter of Credit Bank written notice of its intention so to do, (b) diligently
prosecutes any such contest, and (c) if requested by the Issuer, the Trustee or
the Letter of Credit Bank, furnishes a bond in cash or by surety, whichever
shall be acceptable to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Letter of Credit Bank, in
an amount equal to the amount required by applicable law, and the Company shall
not be in default hereunder for failure to pay or discharge any such lien so
long as it is contesting the same as aforesaid. In lieu of providing the cash or
surety bond required by clause (c) above, the Company may provide the Issuer,
the Trustee and the Letter of Credit Bank with evidence of a title insurance
policy or endorsement satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Bank which policy or
endorsement insures over such lien.

                  Section 5.8. Damage, Destruction and Eminent Domain. If, prior
to full payment of all Bonds outstanding (or provision for payment thereof
having been made in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture), the
Project or any portion thereof is destroyed or damaged in whole or in part by
fire or other casualty, or title to, or the temporary use of, the Project or any
portion thereof shall have been taken by the exercise of the power of eminent
domain, and the Issuer, the Company or Trustee receives Net Proceeds from
insurance or any exercise of the power of eminent domain, all Net Proceeds from
any insurance policy or any kind of condemnation awards in connection therewith
shall, at the direction of the Company be paid to the Trustee which shall
deposit same (a) in a special trust fund to be applied and disbursed in
accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 4.2 of this Agreement, to be
used by the Company, with the consent of the Letter of Credit Bank, to repair,
reconstruct, restore, replace or improve the Project or such portion thereof,
and the Company shall use its best efforts to use such proceeds in such a way as
to restore the earning power of the Project and as will not impair the character
or significance of the Project as furthering the Project Purposes, and upon
completion of such repair, reconstruction, restoration, replacement or
improvement of the Project or such portion thereof to the satisfaction of the
Letter of Credit Bank, any balance remaining in such special trust fund shall be
transferred to the Reimbursement Account in the Bond Fund, or (b) if the Company
has exercised its option to prepay the Loan pursuant to the provisions of
Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(b) hereof, into the Reimbursement Account in the
Bond Fund. The Letter of Credit Bank may impose such reasonable conditions as it
deems appropriate to ensure proper application of moneys pursuant to (a) above,
including without limitation, the requirement that all disbursements shall be
made in accordance with the provisions of the Disbursement Agreement.

                           (and equipment therefor) shall be used for
                           qualifying rehabilitation expenditures (as defined
                           in Section 103(b)(17) of the Code).

                  (q)      At no time will 25% or more of the proceeds of the
                           sale of the Project Bonds be used (directly or
                           indirectly) for the acquisition of land or any
                           interest therein.

                  (r)      If the Project consists of or will be included within
                           a project consisting of a single building, an
                           enclosed shopping mall, or a strip of offices,
                           stores, or warehouses using substantial common
                           facilities, no other tax-exempt obligation, other
                           than the Project Bonds, has been or will be issued
                           for any such project or component thereof.

                  (s)      No "significant portion" (within the meaning of
                           Section 103(b)(6)(J) of the Code) of the proceeds of
                           the Project Bonds are to be used directly or
                           indirectly to provide "residential real property for
                           family units" (within the meaning of such section).

                  (t)      (a)  The Company hereby covenants and agrees with
                           the Issuer and the Trustee for the benefit of the
                           Holders of any of the Bonds, present and future,
                           that it will proceed with due diligence to spend
                           the "gross proceeds" (hereinafter defined) of the
                           Bonds in connection with the acquisition,
                           construction, installation and equipping of the
                           Project and that it will not make, or permit, any
                           use of the proceeds of the Bonds which will cause
                           the Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" within the
                           meaning of Section 103(c) of the Code and any
                           Income Tax Regulations promulgated thereunder as

                 such regulations may apply to obligations issued as of the date
                 of the Bonds. The Company shall deliver to the Issuer its
                 certificate, evidencing the reasonable expectations of the
                 Company, in such reasonable form as the Issuer shall specify
                 and upon which the Issuer may rely.

                 (b) The Company hereby further covenants and agrees with the
                 Issuer and the Trustee, and with the Holders of any of the
                 Bonds, present and future, as follows:

                 (1) All of the gross proceeds of the Bonds, other than gross
         proceeds held in a "bona fide debt service fund" (hereinafter defined)
         will be expended on the Project within six (6) months of the date of
         issuance and delivery of the Bonds, or

                 (2) If any part of the gross proceeds of the Bonds has not
         been expended on the Project within six (6) months of the date of
         issuance and delivery of the Bonds, the Company shall invest or cause
         such gross proceeds to be invested in the manner described in
         subparagraph (A) below and shall pay or cause to be paid to the United
         States the amounts described in subparagraph (B) below in accordance
         with the terms and conditions set forth therein.

                      (A) Except during any "temporary period" (hereinafter
                 defined), the aggregate amount of gross proceeds of the Bonds
                 which are invested in "nonpurpose obligations" (hereinafter
                 defined) having a "yield" (hereinafter defined) higher than the
                 yield on the Bonds shall at no time during any "bond year"
                 (hereinafter defined) exceed one hundred fifty per centum
                 (150%) of the "debt service" (hereinafter defined) on the Bonds
                 for such bond year. In addition, the aggregate amount of gross
                 proceeds of the Bonds invested hereunder in nonpurpose
                 obligations having a yield higher than the yield on the Bonds
                 shall be reduced within 30 days of any redemption of Bonds
                 (whether by payment at maturity, mandatory sinking fund
                 redemption, redemption prior to maturity, or otherwise) which
                 results in a decrease in annual debt service on the Bonds, so
                 that after such reduction the Company's investment of gross
                 proceeds of the Bonds complies with the limitation set forth in
                 this subparagraph (A), based upon such decreased annual debt
                 service. The Company shall not be required to sell or dispose
                 of nonpurpose obligations if such sale or disposition

                 would result in the realization of a loss, for Federal income
                 tax purposes, that exceeds the amount that would be rebated to
                 the United States pursuant to the provisions of subparagraph
                 (b)(2)(B) below (but for such sale or disposition), at the time
                 of such sale or disposition if a rebate were due at such time.
                 The provisions of the foregoing sentence shall not apply to the
                 extent that other nonpurpose obligations acquired with the
                 gross proceeds of the Bonds may be sold or disposed of without
                 incurring the loss described above, and in any event the
                 provisions of the foregoing sentence shall cease to apply
                 thirty (30) days after the last day of the first "computation
                 period" (defined in subparagraph (b)(2)(B)) ending thereafter
                 on which such nonpurpose obligations can be sold or disposed of
                 without incurring the loss described hereinabove. The
                 provisions of this subparagraph (A) shall not apply to gross
                 proceeds of the Bonds which are:

                           (i) invested for the initial temporary period
                      provided in Section 1.103-14(b)(1) of the Income Tax
                      Regulations;

                           (ii) held in a bona fide debt service fund for the
                      Bonds and invested for the 13-month temporary period
                      provided in Section 1.103-14 (b)(10) of the Income Tax
                      Regulations;

                           (iii) invested for either of the temporary periods
                      provided for a sinking fund for the Bonds in Sections
                      1.103-14(b)(8) and 1.103-14(b)(12) of the Income Tax
                      Regulations;

                           (iv) invested during the one-year temporary period
                      provided for investment earnings derived from invested
                      proceeds of the Bonds and from the investment of amounts
                      held in a sinking fund for the Bonds under Sections
                      1.103-14(b)(6) and 1.103-14(b)(9) of the Income Tax
                      Regulations;

                           (v) invested for the temporary period provided for
                      proceeds of a refunding issue in Section 1.103-14(e)(3) of
                      the Income Tax Regulations; or

                           (vi) held in a "revolving fund" (within the meaning
                      of Section 1.103-14(b)(11) of the Income Tax Regulations)
                      and invested during the three-year temporary period set
                      forth therein.

For purposes of the limitations described in this subparagraph (A), in
determining the aggregate amount of gross proceeds of the Bonds invested in
nonpurpose obligations that bear a yield in excess of the yield of the Bonds,
each such obligation shall be valued at its fair market value on the date such
obligation is acquired by the Trustee at the direction of the Company. In
addition, the yield of obligations acquired with gross proceeds of the Bonds
shall be determined based on such fair market value. For purposes of this
subparagraph (A), an obligation acquired with gross proceeds of the Bonds need
not be revalued after the date on which the obligation is acquired.

                      (B) At the time or times hereinafter set forth, the
                 Company shall pay or shall cause the Trustee to pay to the
                 United States an amount, hereinafter referred to as the "Rebate
                 Amount", which is equal to the sum of:

                          (i) the excess of--

                              (a) the aggregate amounts earned from the date of
                          issuance and delivery of the Bonds on all nonpurpose
                          obligations in which gross proceeds of the Bonds have
                          been invested (other than nonpurpose obligations
                          attributable to an excess described herein) over

                              (b) the aggregate amounts which would have been
                          earned if the yield on such nonpurpose obligations
                          (other than nonpurpose obligations attributable to an
                          excess described herein) had been equal to the yield
                          on the Bonds, plus

                          (ii) any income attributable to the excess described
                      in the clause (i) above.

                 The Rebate Amount payable to the United States shall be
                 determined at least annually, on each and every anniversary
                 date of the issuance and delivery of the Bonds, by the Company
                 for each bond year during which Bonds remain outstanding and
                 upon retirement of the last of the Bonds (each such period is
                 hereinafter referred to as a "computation period"). Upon such
                 determination,

                                     - 47 -
<PAGE>   53
                 to the extent that the portion of the Rebate Amount determined
                 to be due and payable to the United States under (B)(i) above
                 as of the close of such computation period exceeds the sum of
                 (a) the then-current balance of the Principal Subaccount of the
                 Excess Investment Earnings Account created pursuant to the
                 provisions of Section 6 of the Bond Legislation and (b) amounts
                 previously rebated to the United States from the Principal
                 Subaccount of the Excess Investment Earnings Account, such
                 amount, if any, shall be deposited in the Principal Subaccount
                 of the Excess Investment Earnings Account created pursuant to
                 the provisions of the Indenture. That portion of the Rebate
                 Amount described in (B)(ii) above shall be deposited, as it is
                 earned, in the Income Subaccount of the Excess Investment
                 Earnings Account created pursuant to the provisions of the
                 Indenture. The Rebate Amount shall be paid to the United States
                 in installments, as follows:

                          (I) subject to clause (III) below, the first such
                      installment shall be paid no later than thirty (30) days
                      after the end of the fifth (5th) bond year of the Bonds;

                      each additional installment payment period during which
                      any of the Bonds remain outstanding. For purposes of this
                      clause (II), an installment payment period shall commence
                      on the last day on which a preceding installment of the
                      Rebate Amount was required to be paid, and shall end on
                      the day preceding the fifth (5th) anniversary of such
                      payment date;

                          (III) anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
                      the last installment shall be paid no later than thirty

                      and

                          (IV) each installment shall be in an amount which,
                      when aggregated with the amount of any prior installments
                      paid to the United States hereunder, will equal at least

                      to the United States hereunder as of the date such
                      installment is paid; provided, however, that the last
                      installment shall be

                           in an amount equal to the entire remaining balance of
                           the Rebate Amount payable to the United States
                           hereunder.

                      The Company shall maintain or cause to be maintained
                      records of such determinations for each computation period
                      until six years after payment in full of the Bonds and
                      shall make such records available to the Issuer, the
                      Trustee, the Letter of Credit Bank, and their
                      representatives upon reasonable request therefor. The
                      Issuer and the Trustee hereby agree to cooperate with the
                      Company in making the determinations for each computation

                      To that end the Trustee, as Construction Fund and Bond
                      Fund custodian, has covenanted and agreed in Section 5.16
                      of the Indenture that it will, on or before each
                      anniversary of the date of issuance of the Bonds, prepare
                      and file with the Issuer and the Company a report with
                      respect to the Construction Fund and the Bond Fund setting
                      forth the total amounts invested during the preceding bond
                      year, the investments made with the moneys in the
                      Construction Fund and the Bond Fund and the investment
                      earnings (and losses) resulting from the investments in
                      each such Fund, respectively, together with such
                      additional information concerning such Funds and the
                      investments therein, respectively, as the Issuer or the
                      Company shall reasonably request.

                      (3) For purposes of clause (a) of subparagraph (2)(B)(i)
                 of this subparagraph (b), the Company, in determining the
                 aggregate amounts earned on all nonpurpose obligations acquired
                 with gross proceeds of the Bonds--

                          (A) will take into account any gain or loss incurred
                      on the disposition of any such nonpurpose obligation, and

                          (B) unless the Issuer otherwise elects, will not take
                      into account any amounts earned on nonpurpose obligations
                      held in a bona fide debt service fund for the Bonds during
                      any bond year in which the gross earnings on such fund do
                      not exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000).

                      (4) Except as provided in Section 1.103-15AT(d)(6) of the
                 Temporary Income Tax Regulations with respect to the purchase
                 of obligations

                 of the United States Treasury directly from the United States
                 Treasury, at no time shall any of the gross proceeds of the
                 Bonds be invested in (A) nonpurpose obligations having a
                 purchase price which is not equal to the fair market value of
                 comparable obligations or producing a yield which is not equal
                 to the fair market yield of comparable obligations, or (B) in
                 any other manner resulting in a "prohibited payment" (within
                 the meaning of Section 1.103-l5AT(d)(6) of the Temporary Income
                 Tax Regulations) of any portion of the Rebate Amount, directly
                 or indirectly, to a party other than the United States.

                      (5) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (b)(1),
                 if gross proceeds of the Bonds subsequently arise following the
                 end of the six-month period commencing on the date of issuance
                 and delivery of the Bonds (whether due to sale of the Project,
                 condemnation of the Project, damage or destruction to the
                 Project, or otherwise) the provisions of subparagraph (b)(1)
                 shall cease to apply and the Company shall be obligated to (i)
                 make the payments to the United States set forth in
                 subparagraph (b)(2)(B) with respect to the gross proceeds of
                 the Bonds which arise following the end of such six-month
                 period (but not with respect to gross proceeds of the Bonds
                 expended during such six-month period) and perform the other
                 duties set forth in subparagraph (b)(2)(B), and (ii) limit the
                 amount of gross proceeds of the issue and perform the other
                 duties set forth in subparagraph (b)(2)(A) above.

                 Section 6.6. Right of Access. The Company agrees that, subject
to reasonable security and safety regulations and to reasonable requirements as
to notice, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Letter of Credit Bank and they or any
of their respective duly authorized agents shall have the right at all

Company further agrees that the Trustee and the Letter of Credit Bank and their
duly authorized agents shall have such rights of access to the Project as may be
reasonably necessary to cause to be completed the construction, installation and

Project in the event of failure by the Company to perform its obligations

the Trustee, the Letter of Credit Bank, and the Remarketing Agent from, agrees
that the Issuer, the Remarketing Agent, the Letter of Credit Bank, and the

Letter of Credit Bank, and the Remarketing Agent harmless against, any loss or
damage to property, or any injury to or death of any person, that may be
occasioned by any cause whatsoever pertaining to and arising out of the Project
or the use thereof during the Construction Period and while the Company is in
possession thereof. The Company further agrees to indemnify and save harmless
the Issuer, the Trustee, the Letter of Credit Bank, the Original Purchaser, and
the Remarketing Agent against and from any and all cost, liability, expenses and
claims arising from any breach or default on the part of the Company in the
performance of any covenant or agreement on the part of the Company to be
performed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or arising from any act or
failure to act by the Company or any of its agents, contractors, servants,
employees, or licensees, or arising from any accident, injury or damage
whatsoever caused to any person, firm or corporation occurring during the term
of this Agreement, on about the Project Site, and from and against all cost,
liability and expenses incurred in or in connection with any such claim or
action or proceeding brought thereon; and in case any action or proceeding be
brought against the Issuer, the Trustee, the Letter of Credit Bank, the Original
Purchaser, or the Remarketing Agent by reason of any such claim, the Company
upon notice from the Issuer, the Trustee, the Letter of Credit Bank, the
Original Purchaser, or the Remarketing Agent covenants to resist or defend such
action or proceedings at the Company's expense.

                 Section 6.8. Company Not to Adversely Affect Tax Exempt Status
of Interest on Project Bonds. The Company, for the benefit of the Issuer, the
Trustee, the Letter of Credit Bank and the holders from time to time of the
Project Bonds, hereby represents that it has not taken, or permitted to be taken
on its behalf, and agrees that it will not take, or permit to be taken

                                     - 53 -
<PAGE>   59
on its behalf, any action which would adversely affect the exemption from
Federal income taxation of the interest paid on the Project Bonds, and that it
will take, or require to be taken, such acts as may from time to time be
required under applicable law or regulation in effect on the date of the
original delivery of the Project Bonds to the Original Purchaser to maintain the
exemption from Federal income taxation of the interest on the Project Bonds. In
particular, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company agrees
that, within the meaning of Section l03(b)(6)(A) of the Code, substantially all
of the proceeds of the Project Bonds will be used to acquire, construct,
reconstruct or improve land or property of a character subject to the allowance
for depreciation.

                 The Company further covenants with the Issuer, the Letter of
Credit Bank, and the Trustee and with each of the future holders of any Bonds
that it has not permitted and will not permit the sum of the Bond issuance plus
capital expenditures (other than out of the proceeds of the Bonds) with respect
to any "facility" as defined in Section 103(b)(6)(D) of the Code, in the
incorporated area of Union Township, County of Butler, Ohio, to exceed
$10,000,000 during the applicable six (6) year period set forth in said section,
or such other limitation as may from time to time be imposed under said section.

                 The Company agrees that it will timely prepare and file, or
cause to be prepared and filed, with copies delivered to the Trustee and the
Original Purchaser, any statements or documents required to be filed by it or
any other "principal user" of the Project in order to maintain the tax exempt
status of the interest on the Bonds.

                 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Indenture to
the contrary, the Company shall in no way be obligated to pay to the holders of
the Bonds (or any prior holder) any amounts for unpaid taxes, penalties,
interest or other assessments which any of them may incur as a result of a
Determination of Taxability unless such Determination of Taxability results from
the failure of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder.

                 (a)  No assignment (other than pursuant to Section 6.3 hereof
                      or with the express written consent of the Letter of

                      Company such rights and interests as will permit it to
                      perform its obligations under this Agreement and any

                      thereof, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Issuer

                      assignment together with any instrument of assumption.

                 (d)  Any assignment from the Company shall not materially
                      impair fulfillment of the Project Purposes to be
                      accomplished by operation of the Project.

                 Section 7.2. Assignment by the Issuer. The Issuer shall assign
its rights under and interest in, and pledge the Pledged Receipts including,
among other things, Loan Payments received under or pursuant to, this Agreement,
along with all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Note, to
the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture and the Note, respectively, as security
for payment of the principal of and interest and any premium on the Bonds, and
shall not make any further such assignment or pledge except as may be necessary
or required to

enforce or secure payment of principal of and interest and any premium on the
Bonds. Each such assignment or pledge shall be subordinate and subject to the
rights of the Company under this Agreement, so long as the Company is not in
default under this Agreement, the Note, the Assignment of Rents, the Security
Agreement, or the Mortgage.

been satisfied pursuant to its provisions and (ii) sufficient moneys are on
deposit with the Trustee, the Letter of Credit Bank or the Issuer, as
appropriate, to meet all Additional Payments due or to become due through the
date on which the last of the Bonds are then scheduled to be retired or
redeemed, or, with respect to Additional Payments to become due, provisions
satisfactory to the Trustee, the Letter of Credit Bank and the Issuer are made
for paying such amounts as they come due. Such option shall be exercised by the
Company giving the Issuer, the Letter of Credit Bank and the Trustee notice of
such termination and such termination shall thereupon become effective.

                 Section 8.2. Option to Prepay Loan. The Company shall have, and
is hereby granted the option to prepay the Loan in full prior to the Termination
Date and prior to the payment and discharge of all the outstanding Bonds in
accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, if any of the following shall
have occurred:

                 (a)  The Project shall have been damaged or destroyed (i) to
                      such extent that the Project cannot be reasonably restored
                      within a period of three months to the condition thereof
                      immediately preceding such damage or destruction, or if
                      the cost of such restoration exceeds the Net Proceeds of
                      insurance by more than $100,000, or (ii) to such extent
                      that the Company is thereby prevented from carrying on its
                      normal operations in connection therewith for a period of
                      three months.

                 (b)  Title to, or the temporary use of, all or a substantial
                      portion of the Project shall have been taken under the
                      exercise of the power of eminent domain by any
                      governmental authority, or person, firm or corporation
                      acting under governmental authority, (i) to such extent
                      that the facilities comprising the Project cannot be
                      reasonably restored within a period of three months to a
                      condition of usefulness comparable to that existing prior
                      to such taking, or if the cost of such restoration exceeds
                      the Net Proceeds of any condemnation award by more than
                      $100,000, or (ii) such a taking results in the Company
                      being thereby

                      prevented from carrying on its normal operations in
                      connection therewith for a period of three months.

                 The mutual agreements contained in this Section 8.2 are
independent of, and constitute an agreement separate and distinct from, any and
all provisions of this Agreement and shall be unaffected by any fact or
circumstances which might impair or be alleged to impair the validity of any
other provision.

                 Except as expressly provided above and as required by Section
8.3 below, the Company shall not be entitled to prepay all or any part of the
Loan prior to February 1, 1987. The Company shall have, and is hereby granted,
an option, exercisable on any Interest Payment Date on and after February 1,
1987, upon giving notice in accordance with Section 8.4 hereof, to prepay all or
part (in the amount of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof) of the Loan
Payments due or to become due, subject to such terms, with such deposit
requirements and at the prepayment prices as are set forth in Sections 2.1 and
2.6 hereof.

                 Section 8.3. Obligation to Prepay Loan. The Company shall be
obligated to prepay the entire Loan prior to the expiration of this Agreement
and prior to the full payment of the Bonds (or prior to making provision for
payment thereof in accordance with the Indenture) and to cancel or terminate
this Agreement if and when (i) this Agreement shall have become void or
unenforceable or impossible of performance in accordance with the intent and
purpose of the parties as expressed in this Agreement by reason of any changes
in the Constitution of the State or the Constitution of the United States of
America or by reason of legislative or administrative action (whether state or
Federal) or any final decree, judgment or order of any court or administrative
body (whether state or Federal) entered after the contest thereof by the Issuer
or the Company in good faith to the effect that the Note and the obligations
evidenced thereby are no longer enforceable by the holder thereof, or (ii) a
Determination of Taxability shall have occurred, or (iii) the Company fails to
obtain an extension of the Letter of Credit or to obtain an Alternate Letter of
Credit on the terms provided in the Indenture.

                 Any such prepayment shall be made in the manner provided in
Section 2.l hereof on the Loan Payment Date corresponding to the Bond Redemption
Date fixed in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture in an amount
sufficient to pay the principal of and interest and any premium on the Bonds to
such Bond Redemption Date.

                 Section 8.4. Notice of Prepayment. In order to exercise an
option granted in, or to consummate a prepayment required by, this Agreement,
the Company shall, (i) within 60 days following the event authorizing the
exercise of such option

                                     - 58 -
<PAGE>   64
or requiring such prepayment, or (ii) at least 60 days prior to the date of the
Company's exercise of the option granted in the last paragraph of Section 8.2
hereof, give notice to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Letter of Credit Bank
(and the Trustee if all conditions provided in the Indenture for release thereof
are not then met), and shall specify therein the date on which such prepayment
is to be made, which date shall be not less than 45 days nor more than 90 days
from the date such notice is mailed, and in case of a redemption of the Bonds in
accordance with the provisions of the Indenture the Company shall make
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of the required notice
of redemption, in which arrangements the Issuer shall cooperate.

                 Section 8.5. Prepayment Price. In the case of prepayment of the
entire Loan pursuant to any provision of this Article, the prepayment price
shall be the sum of the following:

                 (a)  To the Trustee, an amount of money equal to the amount of
                      all principal, interest and any premium required to be
                      paid in connection with the corresponding redemption of
                      Bonds under the Indenture (plus any premium payable with
                      respect to Bonds theretofore redeemed), plus

                 (b)  to the Trustee or to the persons to whom Additional
                      Payments are or will be due, an amount of money equal to
                      the Additional Payments accrued and which will accrue
                      until final maturity of the Bonds or until the appropriate
                      redemption date if the Bonds are to be redeemed; provided
                      that this portion of such prepayment price will be deemed
                      paid if provisions acceptable to the Trustee, the Letter
                      of Credit Bank, the Remarketing Agent and the Issuer are
                      made for paying such Additional Payments as they become
                      due.

                 Section 8.6. Relative Position of this Article and Indenture.
The rights and options granted to the Company in this Article shall be and
remain prior and superior to the Indenture and may be exercised whether or not
the Company is in default hereunder; provided that such default will not result
in nonfulfillment of any condition to the exercise of any such right or option.

                 Section 8.7. Concurrent Discharge of Note. In the event any of
the Bonds shall be paid and discharged pursuant to any provisions of this
Agreement or the Indenture, so that such Bonds are not thereafter outstanding
within the meaning of the Indenture, an equivalent principal amount of the
corresponding Note or Notes shall be deemed fully paid for purposes of this
Agreement and to such extent the obligations of the Company thereunder
terminated. In such event, the Issuer or any assignee

                                     - 59 -
<PAGE>   65
of the Note or Notes shall take whatever steps are required to cause such Note
or Notes, or the pertinent installments of the principal sum thereof, to be
cancelled and deemed fully paid.

                         EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES


                 Section 9.1. Events of Default. The following shall be "events
of default" under this Agreement and the terms "event of default" or "default"
shall mean, whenever they are used in this Agreement, any one or more of the
following events:

                 (a)  The occurrence of an event of default as defined in
                      Section 6.01(a) or (b) of the Indenture.

                 (b)  Failure by the Company to observe and perform any
                      covenant, condition or agreement on its part to be
                      observed or performed hereunder, or in the Mortgage or the
                      Assignment of Rents, other than as referred to in
                      paragraph (a) of this Section, for a period of thirty (30)
                      days after notice of such failure requesting such failure
                      to be remedied, given to the Company by the Issuer or the
                      Trustee, unless the Issuer and the Trustee shall agree in
                      writing to an extension of such time prior to its
                      expiration; provided, however, that, if such default is
                      curable, and if and so long as the Company is proceeding
                      with due diligence to cure the default such period shall
                      be extended to whatever reasonable period is required to
                      permit the Company to cure such default.

                 (c)  The dissolution and liquidation of the Company, except as
                      provided in Section 6.3 of this Agreement, or failure by
                      the Company promptly to satisfy or cause to be set aside
                      any execution, garnishment or attachment of such
                      consequence as will impair its ability to carry out its
                      obligations under this Agreement, or the filing by the
                      Company of a petition for the appointment of a receiver in
                      liquidation or a trustee with respect to itself or any of
                      its property, or if it makes a voluntary assignment for
                      the benefit of creditors or files a petition in bankruptcy
                      or insolvency or for reorganization, compromise,
                      adjustment or other relief under the laws of the United
                      States or of any state relating to the relief of debtors;
                      or if any party other than the Company shall file a
                      petition for the appointment of a receiver in liquidation
                      or a trustee with respect to the Company, or shall file a
                      petition against the Company in bankruptcy, insolvency, or
                      for reorganization, compromise, adjustment or other relief
                      under the laws of the United States or any

                                     - 61 -

                      state relating to the relief of debtors and such petition
                      shall not be vacated or set aside or stayed within thirty
                      (30) days from the Company's receiving notice thereof.

                 (d)  Any foreclosure of, or ousting of the Company from
                      possession of, the Project or any material portion thereof
                      under any indenture of mortgage and deed of trust or any
                      other security interest given by the Company, or for any
                      other reason.

The provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section are subject to the following
limitations: If by reason of acts of God; winds; fires; epidemics; landslides;
floods; droughts; famines; strikes; lockouts or other industrial disturbances;
acts of public enemies; acts or orders of any kind of any governmental
authority; insurrection; military action; war, whether or not declared;
sabotage; riots; civil disturbances; explosions; breakage or accident to
machinery, transmission pipes or canals; partial or entire failure of utilities;
or any cause or event not reasonably within the control of the Company, the
Company is unable in whole or in part to carry out its agreements on its part
herein contained, other than the obligations on the part of the Company to pay
Loan Payments, Additional Payments and to carry insurance and to permit
inspection of the Project, Company records and collateral under the Security
Agreement; the Company shall not be deemed in default for a period of thirty
(30) days from the inception of such inability; provided, however, that, if such
default is curable, and if and so long as the Company is proceeding with due
diligence to cure the default such period shall be extended to whatever
reasonable period is required to permit the Company to cure such default. The
Company shall, however, use its best efforts to remedy with all reasonable
dispatch the cause or causes preventing the Company from carrying out its
agreements; provided, that the Company shall in no event be required to settle
strikes, lockouts or other industrial disturbances by acceding to the demands of
the opposing party or parties when such course is, in the judgment of the
Company, not in the interest of the Company.

                 Section 9.2. Remedies on Default. Whenever any event of default
under Section 9.1 of this Agreement shall have happened and be subsisting, any
one or more of the following remedial steps may be taken; provided that in no
event shall the Issuer be obligated to take any step which in its opinion will
or might cause it to expend time or money or otherwise incur liability unless
and until satisfactory indemnity has been furnished to it:

                 (a)  The Issuer shall, at the written request of the Trustee if
                      acceleration is declared pursuant to Section 6.02 of the
                      Indenture, declare all Loan

                                     - 62 -
<PAGE>   68
                      Payments and Additional Payments payable hereunder for the
                      remainder of the term of this Agreement to be immediately
                      due and payable, whereupon the same shall become
                      immediately due and payable.

                 (b)  In the event any of the Bonds shall at the time be
                      outstanding and not paid and discharged in accordance with
                      the provisions of the Indenture, the Issuer or the Trustee
                      may have access to and inspect, examine and make copies of
                      the books and records and any and all accounts, data and
                      income tax and other tax returns of the Company, only,
                      however, insofar as they pertain to the Project or Project
                      Site or any portion thereof, or to the Company's
                      operations of the Project or at the Project Site.

                 (c)  The Issuer may without being required to give any notice
                      (other than to the Trustee), except as provided in this
                      Agreement or as may be required by mandatory provisions of
                      law, pursue all remedies of a creditor or secured party
                      under the Ohio Revised Code, or any other applicable laws.

                 (d)  The Issuer or the Trustee may take whatever action at law
                      or in equity may appear necessary or desirable to collect
                      the Loan Payments and Additional Payments then due and
                      thereafter to become due, or to enforce performance and
                      observance of any obligation, agreement or covenant of the
                      Company under this Agreement.

                 (e)  The Trustee may exercise all remedies available under the
                      Mortgage, the Indenture, the Security Agreement, and the
                      Assignment of Rents.

Any amounts collected as Loan Payments or applicable to Loan Payments and any
other amounts which would be applicable to payment of principal of and interest
and any premium on the Bonds collected pursuant to action taken under this
Section shall be paid into the Bond Fund and applied in accordance with the
provisions of the Indenture or, if the outstanding Bonds have been paid and
discharged in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, shall be paid as
provided in Section 4.07 of the Indenture for transfers of remaining amounts in
the Bond Fund.

                 The provisions of this Section are subject to the further
limitation that the rescission or annulment of a declaration that all the Bonds
outstanding under the Indenture are immediately due and payable shall also
constitute rescission or annulment of any corresponding declaration made
pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section and a waiver and rescission of the

                                     - 63 -
<PAGE>   69
consequences of such declaration and of the event of default with respect to
which such declaration had been made, provided that no such waiver or rescission
shall extend to or affect any subsequent or other default or impair any right
consequent thereon.

                 Section 9.3. No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy conferred upon or
reserved to the Issuer or the Trustee by this Agreement is intended to be
exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such
remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given
under this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by
statute. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any
default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a
waiver thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time
and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle the Issuer or the
Trustee to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Article, it shall not be
necessary to give any notice, other than such notice as may be expressly
required herein.

                 Section 9.4. Agreement to Pay Attorneys' Fees and Expenses. In
the event the Company should default under any of the provisions of this
Agreement and the Issuer or the Trustee should employ attorneys or incur other
expenses for the collection of Loan Payments or the enforcement of performance
or observance of any obligation or agreement on the part of the Company
contained in this Agreement or in or represented by the Note, the Company shall
on demand therefor reimburse the reasonable fee of such attorneys and such other
expenses so incurred. Any attorneys' fees required to be paid by the Company
under this Agreement shall include attorneys' fees through all proceedings,
including, but not limited to, negotiations, administrative hearings, trials and
appeals.

                 Section 9.5. No Additional Waiver Implied by One Waiver. In the
event any agreement contained in this Agreement should be breached by either
party and thereafter waived by the other party, such waiver shall be limited to
the particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other
breach hereunder.

Sinking Fund Requirements or otherwise) thereof, shall be paid first to the
Letter of Credit Bank in satisfaction of any outstanding obligations of the
Company to the Letter of Credit Bank under the Reimbursement Agreement and any

from moneys paid to the Company or the Letter of Credit Bank pursuant to this
Section the holders of the Bonds entitled to such moneys shall look solely to
the Company for the payment of such moneys.

other communications hereunder shall be sufficiently given and shall be deemed
given when mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to
the appropriate Notice Address. A duplicate copy of each notice, certificate,
request or other communication given hereunder to the Issuer, the Company, the
Original Purchaser, the Letter of Credit Bank, the Remarketing Agent, or the
Trustee shall also be given to the others. The Company, the Issuer, the Original
Purchaser, the Letter of Credit Bank, the Remarketing Agent, and the Trustee
may, by notice given hereunder, designate a different Notice Address for it
other than the one specified in Section l.2 hereof.

benefit of and shall be binding upon the Issuer, the Company and their
respective successors and assigns, subject, however, to the specific provisions
hereof, and subject to the further limitation that any obligation of the Issuer
created by or arising out of this Agreement shall not be a general debt of the
Issuer or the State or any political subdivision or taxing district thereof, but
shall be payable solely out of the Pledged Receipts.

                 Section 10.5. Amendments, Changes and Modifications. Except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement or in the Indenture, subsequent to the
issuance of the Project Bonds and prior to all conditions provided for in the

prior written consent of the Trustee and the Letter of Credit Bank.

                 Section 10.6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
several counterparts, each of which shall be regarded as an original and all of

section of this Agreement, or any covenant, stipulation, obligation, agreement,
act, or action, or part thereof, made, assumed, entered into, or taken under
this Agreement, or any application thereof, is for any reason held to be
illegal, invalid or inoperable, such illegality, invalidity, or inoperability
shall not affect the remainder thereof or any other clause, provision or section
or any other covenant, stipulation, obligation, agreement, act or action or part
thereof, made, assumed, entered into, or taken thereunder, which shall at the

                                 PROMISSORY NOTE

$2,300,000                                                     September 1, 1986
                                                                Cincinnati, Ohio


                 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned O'GARA-HESS & EISENHARDT
ARMORING COMPANY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (the "Company"), an Ohio limited
partnership, promises to pay to the order of the COUNTY OF BUTLER, OHIO (the
"Lender"), the principal sum of TWO MILLION THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
($2,300,000) and to pay interest on the unpaid balance of such principal sum, as
hereinafter provided, until the payment of such principal sum has been made or
provided for.

                 The Note has been executed and delivered by the Company to the
Lender and assigned to The Central Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (the
"Trustee") pursuant to the Loan Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated as of
September 1, 1986, between the Lender and the Company. Under the Agreement, the
Lender has loaned the Company the proceeds received from the sale of the
Lender's $2,300,000 Variable Rate Demand Economic Development Revenue Bonds,
Series 1986 (O'Gara-Hess & Eisenhardt Armoring Company Limited Partnership
Project) initially dated as of September 1, 1986 (the "Bonds") to assist the
Company in the financing of the Project (as defined in the Agreement). The
Company has agreed to repay the loan of the proceeds of the Bonds by making
payments (the "Loan Payments") at the times and in the amounts set forth in this
Note. The Bonds have been issued, concurrently with the execution and delivery
of this Note, pursuant to, and are secured by, the Trust Indenture (the
"Indenture"), dated as of September 1, 1986, between the Lender and the Trustee.
The Bonds bear interest from their date at the Applicable Rate, as defined in
Appendix I to this Note, payable each March 1 and September 1, commencing March
1, 1987, and mature on September 1, 2016.

                 To provide funds to pay the principal of the Bonds as and when
due as above-specified, the Company hereby agrees to and shall make Loan
Payments in such manner as to provide immediately available funds on the first
day of each month, commencing October 1, 1986, in an amount equal to one-twelfth
of the amount payable as principal on the Bonds on each next succeeding
September 1 (provided, however, that any payment otherwise due on September 1,
shall be payable four Business Days prior to such September 1). To provide funds
to pay the interest on the Bonds as and when due as above-specified, the Company
hereby agrees to and shall make Loan Payments on November 1, 1986, in an amount
equal to one-third of the amount payable as interest on the Bonds on March 1,
1987, on the first day of each month thereafter in an

                                     - 69 -
<PAGE>   75
amount equal to one-sixth of the amount payable as interest on the Bonds on each
next succeeding March 1 and September 1, as applicable (provided, however, that
any payment otherwise due on March 1 or September 1 shall be payable four
Business Days prior to such March 1 or September 1); provided, however, that
with respect to the interest payment due November 1, 1986, the Company shall
receive a credit against such interest payment equal to the amount of money in
the Bond Fund (as defined in the Indenture) representing the Bond Fund Payment
(as defined in the Indenture).

                 If payment or provision for payment in accordance with the
Indenture is made in respect of the principal of and redemption premium, if any,
and interest on the Bonds, and if amounts due the Letter of Credit Bank pursuant
to the Reimbursement Agreement (as such terms are defined in the Indenture) have
been paid or provision therefor has been made, this Note shall be deemed paid to
the extent of such payment or provision for payment of Bonds and amounts due
under the Reimbursement Agreement has been made.

                 All Loan Payments shall be payable in lawful money of the
United States of America and shall be made to the Trustee at its principal
corporate trust office for the account of the Issuer and deposited in the Bond
Fund created by the Indenture. Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture,
the Loan Payments shall be used by the Trustee to pay the principal of and
redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds as and when due or to
reimburse the Letter of Credit Bank for draws under the Letter of Credit.

                 The obligation of the Company to make the payments required
hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional and the Company shall make such
payments without abatement, diminution or deduction regardless of any cause or
circumstances whatsoever including, without limitation, any defense, set-off,
recoupment or counterclaim which the Company may have or assert against the
Lender, the Trustee, the Letter of Credit Bank, or the Remarketing Agent (each
as defined in the Agreement) or any other person.

                 This Note is subject to optional, extraordinary optional and
mandatory prepayment upon the same terms and conditions, on the same date or
dates and at the same prepayment prices, as the Bonds are subject to optional,
extraordinary optional and mandatory redemption, and the Company hereby agrees
that it will make Loan Payments hereunder in an amount equal to the principal of
and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds due and payable on any such
redemption date. All optional prepayments of amounts due under this Note are
subject to the requirement that the Company deposit sufficient moneys with the
Letter of Credit Bank in accordance with 2.1 of the Agreement prior to the
Company giving notice of its intention to so prepay

                                     - 70 -
<PAGE>   76
pursuant to Section 8.4 of the Agreement. Any such redemption prior to stated
maturity is subject to the obligation of the Company to give the Lender and the
Trustee sufficient notice of such redemption as shall enable the Issuer and the
Trustee to take all action necessary under the Indenture to redeem on the date
specified for prepayment a like principal amount of Bonds at the same redemption
price.

                 Whenever an event of default under Section 6.01 of the
Indenture shall have occurred and, as a result thereof, the principal of the
Bonds then outstanding, and interest accrued thereon, shall have been declared
to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Indenture, the
unpaid principal amount of and accrued interest on this Note shall also be due
and payable on the date on which the principal of and interest on the Bonds
shall have been declared due and payable; provided, that the annulment of a
declaration of acceleration with respect to the Bonds shall also constitute an
annulment of any corresponding declaration with respect to this Note.

                 This Note and the Company's obligations under the Agreement are
secured by the Open-End Mortgage and Security Agreement (the "Mortgage"), and
the Security Agreement (the "Security Agreement") each dated as of September 1,
1986, from the Company to the Trustee and the Letter of Credit Bank and are
further secured by (i) the Assignment of Rents and Leases (the "Assignment of
Rents"), dated as of September 1, 1986, from the Company to the Trustee and the
Letter of Credit Bank and (ii) the Guarantee Agreement and the Additional
Guarantees described in the Agreement.

                 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Note to be
executed in its name by its duly authorized partners as of the date first
written above.

                                   APPENDIX I

                 As used in this Note, "Applicable Rate" shall mean at any time
the then applicable interest rate per annum on the Bonds as described below. The
capitalized terms not defined in the Note shall have the meanings ascribed to
them in the Indenture.


                 A. Initial Fixed Interest Rate

                 For the first Interest Period, i.e. from September 1, 1986, to
and including February 28, 1987, the Bonds shall bear interest at the rate of
five and one-fourth percent (5-1/4%) per annum, payable March 1, 1987.


                 B. Six-Month Interest Rate

                 From and after March 1, 1987, the Bonds shall bear interest at
the Six-Month Interest Rate determined as of the Interest Rate Determination
Date preceding each Interest Period (a) by the Remarketing Agent to be that rate
per annum which, if borne by all the outstanding Bonds, would, in the judgment
of the Remarketing Agent (taking into consideration current transactions and
comparable securities in which the Remarketing Agent is involved or of which it
is aware and prevailing financial market conditions), be the interest rate
necessary (but which would not exceed the interest rate necessary) to produce as
nearly as practical a par bid for each outstanding Bond on the Interest Rate
Determination Date, provided, that the interest rate determined shall not be
more than one hundred thirty-five percent (135%) nor less than eighty percent
(80%) of the Six-Month Interest Index for such Interest Period or (b) in the
event that either the Indexing Agent no longer computes, or fails to compute,
the Six-Month Interest Index and no other municipal securities evaluation
service has been appointed by the Issuer or the Remarketing Agent has been
removed and no successor appointed, by the Trustee to be that rate per annum
equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of the bond equivalent yield of thirteen-week
United States Treasury bills determined on the basis of the average per annum
discount rate at which such thirteen-week Treasury bills shall have been sold at
the most recent Treasury auction held during the seventeen (17) Business Days
ending the Business Day preceding the Interest Rate Determination Date, or, if
no such auction shall have been conducted during such seventeen (17) Business
Days ending on an including the Interest Rate Determination Date, the bond
equivalent yield of thirteen-week United States Treasury bills shall be
determined on the basis of the arithmetic average of the mean between the
closing bid and asked per annum market discount rates for the issue of Treasury
bills or other Treasury obligations with a maturity date closest to ninety-one
(91) days

                                     - 73 -
<PAGE>   79
from the date of quotation (selecting the bills or other obligations with the
earlier maturity in the case of two issues with maturity dates equally close to
ninety-one (91) days), as reported daily on a composite basis by the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York for the first, second and third Business Days
immediately preceding the Interest Rate Determination Date.

                 In no event shall the Six-Month Interest Rate borne by the
Bonds exceed twelve percent (12%) per annum.

                 The Six-Month Interest Index shall be based upon six-month
yield evaluations at par of not less than twenty (20) nor more than forty (40)
issues of securities (which may include without limitation issues of commercial
paper, project notes, bond anticipation notes and tax anticipation notes), the
interest on which is exempt from Federal income taxation (the "High Grade
Component Issues"), selected by the Indexing Agent for the purpose of computing
its "Six-Month High Grade Municipal Index" which is offered generally by the
Indexing Agent to its subscribers.


                 D. Interest Rate with Respect to Bonds
                    Held by or Pledged to Letter of
                    Credit Bank

                 The interest rate hereon payable with respect to any Project
Bond which is held by or pledged to the Letter of Credit Bank shall be a rate
per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus one and one-half percent (1 1/2%).

         WHEREAS, OSN and GLOCOM have previously entered into a Letter of Intent

GLOCOM would develop and manufacture for OSN, and OSN would purchase for resale,
certain electronic equipment described herein, which are capable of supporting
Inmarsat-M voice, fax, data, and other information communications via satellite;
and

         WHEREAS, OSN and GLOCOM desire to supersede the LOI and enter into an
agreement under which GLOCOM will manufacture and supply the PRODUCTS, on an
exclusive basis (subject to Section 2, Market Exclusivity) to OSN, and OSN will
purchase the PRODUCTS from GLOCOM and re-sell them to third parties who will
distribute the PRODUCTS through a sales network to end users;

         NOW, THEREFORE, the PARTIES hereby agree as follows:

1.       DEFINITIONS

         1.1      "COMPACT-M" means the notebook style, pre-commissioned,
                  Inmarsat-M land transportable earth station (Inmarsat M-TES)
                  being developed by GLOCOM for OSN and defined in Exhibit A and
                  specified in Exhibit E attached hereto.

         1.2      "SUPPORTING SERVICES" means those logistic services relating
                  to the usage of PRODUCTS including but not limited to smart
                  card subscription services to be developed and rendered by
                  GLOCOM with fees in addition to the OSN tariffed
                  communications services (i.e. MINUTES) to its customers.

         1.3      "TAIWAN MARKET" means end-users who are residents in Taiwan,
                  the Republic of China, and purchasing the PRODUCTS in Taiwan.

         1.4      "MINUTES" means a pre-paid plan or package allowing an
                  end-user of a PRODUCT a certain amount of usage of the PRODUCT
                  without further charges accruing.

         1.5      "MINI-M" means a future capability and option to convert the
                  COMPACT-M into an Inmarsat MINI-M terminal when the Inmarsat
                  third generation satellites and the corresponding Land Earth
                  Station services become available on a global basis.

         1.6      "PRODUCTS" means the COMPACT-M and other related accessory
                  items defined in Exhibit A sold by GLOCOM pursuant to this

                  PRODUCTS defined in Exhibit E.

         1.8      "BETA UNITS" means the pre-production units that will serve to
                  qualify that the production units of the COMPACT-M will meet

                  OSN will in turn provide these units for distribution to
                  potential customers to assist in the analyses of the readiness
                  of the PRODUCTS ("BETA TEST"). There will be no cost for these
                  units if OSN returns them after completion of the BETA TEST.
                  It is the intent of the PARTIES that the

                           agreed to by GLOCOM.

                  5.1.3    ACCEPTANCE. OSN will examine and test, and/or cause

                           Production Units, as described in the DELIVERY
                           SCHEDULE in Exhibit B attached hereto, upon delivery
                           to reasonably determine the conformance to the
                           SPECIFICATIONS. Within twenty (20) days of delivery,
                           OSN shall either: (I) accept the BETA UNITS or
                           Initial Production PRODUCTS in writing; or (ii)
                           reject the BETA UNITS or Initial Production and
                           provide GLOCOM with a written non-conformance report.
                           GLOCOM will promptly remedy any defects in the
                           PRODUCT and redeliver such PRODUCT to OSN, within ten
                           (10) days after receipt of OSN's non-conformance
                           report, for a second acceptance test. Upon
                           redelivery, OSN shall, within twenty (20) days after
                           such redelivery, either (a) accept the redelivery in
                           writing or (b) reject the redelivered PRODUCTS and at

                           section 15.3 herein or repeat the process defined by
                           (a) and (b) in this sentence.

         5.2      DEVIATION FROM SCHEDULE. GLOCOM agrees that if GLOCOM fails to
                  achieve a particular milestone more than thirty (30) days

                  specified in the DELIVERY SCHEDULE for accomplishing that
                  milestone or delivery, then OSN will have the right to
                  re-negotiate the applicable terms of this AGREEMENT or to
                  terminate the AGREEMENT under Section 15.3, or Section 15.2,
                  (subject to the grace period provided therein), whichever is
                  appropriate.

         5.3      INMARSAT TYPE APPROVAL. GLOCOM will be responsible for the
                  complete process required for the Inmarsat-M type approval
                  from Inmarsat for the COMPACT-M and its options and
                  accessories defined in Exhibit A. GLOCOM will deliver to OSN a
                  fully type approved certificate issued by Inmarsat for the
                  COMPACT-M as an Inmarsat M-TES approved for Inmarsat-M voice,
                  fax, and data communications as being defined in the
                  Inmarsat-M SDM. The said type approval certificate shall be in
                  the name of OSN, or in the name that OSN provides GLOCOM in
                  writing, with the model name and number designated by OSN, and
                  will be delivered to OSN in accordance with the MILESTONE
                  SCHEDULE, as set forth in Exhibit C. In accordance with the
                  provisions of the Resale for TAIWAN MARKET, as set forth in
                  Exhibit D, GLOCOM reserves the right to type approve the
                  COMPACT-M under its own model name for the TAIWAN MARKET but
                  is restricted from obtaining type approval to any third party
                  without the written consent of OSN. GLOCOM reserves the right
                  to develop and type approve other non Inmarsat M-TES systems
                  independent of this AGREEMENT.

                           specified in the DELIVERY SCHEDULE attached as
                           Exhibit B. In the event GLOCOM is unable to deliver
                           PRODUCTS in accordance with the DELIVERY SCHEDULE due
                           to GLOCOM's inability to obtain necessary parts,

                           liable to OSN in accordance with Section 15.5.2.

                  6.1.2    ADJUSTMENT TO DELIVERY SCHEDULE BY OSN. OSN may

         8.1      FACTORY WARRANTY. GLOCOM warrants that each PRODUCT shall
                  conform to the specifications for such PRODUCT and shall be
                  free from defects in material and workmanship, for a period
                  equal to the one (1) year from the date of shipment of such
                  PRODUCT by OSN, or any of its distributors and customers, to
                  the end-user (the "WARRANTY"). The WARRANTY shall extend to
                  OSN, its customers, distributors, and end-users of the
                  PRODUCTS. The Warranty shall specifically exclude any PRODUCTS
                  which have been subject to misuse, negligence, or accident not
                  caused by GLOCOM or which has been repaired or altered by any
                  service unauthorized by OSN. The Warranty given to the
                  end-user will be mutually agreed to by the PARTIES.

         8.2      WARRANTY REPAIR. OSN, in conjunction with its distributors,
                  shall attempt to create a worldwide "swap out" service
                  available to all PRODUCTS end-users. As a result, designated,
                  authorized service stations will be established. End-users may
                  use these designated service stations and request for a swap
                  out if their COMPACT-M unit is under factory warranty and
                  tested to be faulty beyond the service station's own
                  capability to repair. The service station shall replace the
                  end-users faulty unit with a good, working unit from its
                  inventory, if available. GLOCOM shall establish at no charge a
                  special online reporting mechanism using COMPACT-M (one of the
                  free SUPPORTING SERVICES). The Service Station will call (at
                  its expense) this SUPPORTING SERVICES which will activate this
                  swap out so that the end-user's same smart card will work on
                  the new unit. The Service Station, OSN, OSN's distributors and
                  customers, or the end-user will return the faulty unit to
                  GLOCOM. Upon receiving the utility unit, GLOCOM shall promptly
                  repair or replace, at its option and expenses, PRODUCTS that
                  fail to comply with the Factory Warranty in section 8.1. The
                  shipping cost of returning the faulty unit to GLOCOM shall be
                  born by OSN or its designated service station, OSN's
                  distributor and customer, or end-user. The shipping cost after
                  warranty repair from GLOCOM to the originated Service Station,
                  OSN, distributor and customer, or end-user will be at GLOCOM's
                  expense.

         8.3      REPLACEMENT PRODUCTS. Any PRODUCT replaced or repaired under
                  the WARRANTY shall be covered by the WARRANTY until the later
                  of: (a) the end of the original period of WARRANTY for the
                  PRODUCT, or (b) ninety (90) days from the date such PRODUCT is
                  returned to OSN or OSN's customers, distributors, or
                  end-users.

9.       SERVICE OF PRODUCT AFTER WARRANTY PERIOD

         9.1      MAIL-IN SERVICE. GLOCOM agrees to provide mail-in repair
                  service for PRODUCTS after the Factory Warranty has expired
                  for such PRODUCTS. GLOCOM will first check the PRODUCT
                  returned and give OSN an estimate for the repair based on the
                  rate table per repair type as listed in the Mail-in Service of
                  PRODUCT After Warranty Period Rate Table in Exhibit F,
                  attached hereto. GLOCOM will proceed with the repair and
                  charge based on the estimate upon OSN authorization. If the
                  authorization to repair the PRODUCT is not given by OSN, or if
                  GLOCOM receives a PRODUCT after the Factory Warranty for
                  repair of an error or fault, and GLOCOM cannot duplicate or
                  reproduce the error or fault identified by the customer,
                  distributor, or end-user, GLOCOM may charge OSN two hundred
                  twenty five dollars ($225) for a mail-in test and evaluation
                  fee.

         9.2      MAIL-IN REPAIR WARRANTY. GLOCOM warrants that paid repairs
                  performed on a PRODUCT under Section 9.1 outside of the
                  original warranty period shall conform to the SPECIFICATIONS
                  for such PRODUCT and shall be free from defects in material
                  and workmanship for a period of ninety (90) days after
                  delivery of the repaired PRODUCT to the end-user.

         9.3      PARTS REPAIR. GLOCOM agrees to repair accessory items for
                  PRODUCTS, not otherwise covered under Section 9.1, at GLOCOM's
                  best price.

         9.4      SHIPMENT FOR REPAIR. OSN or the end-user of the defective
                  PRODUCT or part is responsible for shipping costs to GLOCOM
                  and GLOCOM is responsible for the shipping cost to return the
                  repaired part (which shall be a part of the price to repair
                  defective PRODUCTS). GLOCOM shall use best efforts to assist
                  OSN to achieve a 48 hour or less repair turn around.

10.      INDEMNIFICATION.

         10.1     PRODUCT LIABILITY. GLOCOM agrees to protect, indemnify and
                  hold OSN harmless from and against all liability resulting
                  from any and all claims by third parties for loss, illegal
                  usages by GLOCOM or any of its other customers by virtue of
                  GLOCOM selling to the TAIWAN MARKET or otherwise, damages,
                  costs, expenses, fines or injury (including death) allegedly
                  caused by or arising from or related to any PRODUCT (exclusive
                  of incidental or consequential damages of OSN), to the extent
                  not caused by fault attributable to OSN and provided that
                  GLOCOM is notified by OSN of all such claims within a
                  reasonable period of time following OSN's initial notification
                  of such claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such claim
                  shall be settled without the express written consent of OSN
                  which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and provided
                  that if the entire amount of such claim is covered by GLOCOM's
                  insurance then such claim may be settled without OSN's
                  consent. Prior to OSN settling any claim for which they intend
                  to seek indemnity from GLOCOM, OSN will obtain the express
                  written consent of GLOCOM, which consent shall not be
                  unreasonably withheld.

         10.2     INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. GLOCOM hereby represents that, to the
                  best of GLOCOM's knowledge, neither the performance by the
                  PARTIES of their obligations nor the exercise of their rights
                  under this AGREEMENT shall infringe on any third party's
                  intellectual property rights. GLOCOM agrees to defend,
                  indemnify and hold OSN harmless from and against any and all
                  damages, claims losses or liabilities, including without
                  limitation, all attorneys' and other professional fees,
                  resulting from such infringement. Notwithstanding the
                  foregoing, GLOCOM shall have no liability to OSN under this
                  Section 10.2 in the event any alleged breach hereunder is
                  based on (i) the use of a PRODUCT in connection or combination
                  with equipment, devices or software not intended for use with
                  the PRODUCTS by GLOCOM, or (ii) the alteration or modification
                  of the PRODUCT, if such claim would have been avoided by the
                  absence of such connection, combination, alteration or
                  modification.

         10.3     INSURANCE. GLOCOM shall obtain and carry in full force and
                  effect, from and after the date it first delivers PRODUCTS to
                  OSN, commercial general liability insurance (including product
                  liability coverage with respect to its PRODUCTS), in the
                  amount of at least one million dollars ($1,000,000) in
                  coverage, which insurance shall name OSN and OSN's customers
                  as additional insured in any such policy of insurance. GLOCOM
                  shall provide OSN a copy of such insurance policy. Additional
                  insured status shall be limited to all liability resulting
                  from any and all claims by third parties for loss, damages,
                  costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees and
                  costs) or injury (including death) allegedly caused by or
                  arising from or related to any PRODUCT, to the extent not
                  caused by fault attributable to OSN. In addition all such
                  policies shall provide that the coverage provided thereby
                  shall not be cancelable without thirty (30) days notice to
                  OSN.

         10.4     OSN agrees to protect, indemnify, and hold GLOCOM harmless
                  from and against all liability resulting from any and all
                  claims by third parties for loss, damages, costs, expenses,
                  fines or injury (including death) allegedly caused by or
                  arising from or related to (i) any alteration or changes to
                  the PRODUCTS performed by OSN without the

                  consent of GLOCOM, and (ii) as parts sold or provided by OSN
                  with respect to the PRODUCTS without authorization of GLOCOM
                  (exclusive of incidental or consequential damages of GLOCOM),
                  provided that OSN is notified by GLOCOM of all such claims
                  within a reasonable period of time following GLOCOM's initial
                  notification of such claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
                  such claim shall be settled without the express written
                  consent of GLOCOM which consent shall not be unreasonably
                  withheld, and provided that if the entire amount of such claim
                  is covered by OSN's insurance then such claim may be settled
                  without GLOCOM's consent. Prior to GLOCOM settling any claim
                  for which they intend to seek indemnity from OSN in accordance
                  with this section, GLOCOM will obtain the express written
                  consent of OSN, which consent shall not be unreasonably
                  withheld.

         10.5     OSN shall obtain and carry in full force and effect, from and
                  after the date that GLOCOM first delivers PRODUCTS to OSN,
                  commercial general liability insurance (including product
                  liability coverage), in the amount of at least one million
                  dollars ($1,000,000) in coverage which insurance shall name
                  GLOCOM as an additional insured with respect to claims under
                  Section 10.4.

11.      PRODUCT CHANGES

         11.1     GLOCOM may make changes to the PRODUCTS, provided that such
                  changes result in performance and functionality of such
                  PRODUCTS that is at least equivalent to the performance and
                  functionality of the PRODUCTS prior to such changes and
                  notifies OSN as to the nature of the change. Furthermore,
                  GLOCOM may not make changes that affect the external
                  appearance of the PRODUCTS without OSN's prior written
                  consent. Any such changes shall be at no additional cost to
                  OSN.

         11.2     GLOCOM will keep the subject PRODUCTS current, via updates
                  supplied to OSN and/or its customers (at OSN's direction) at
                  no additional charge, with any and all Inmarsat software
                  change notices that are mandatory for proper system operation.

         11.3     Software changes that add optional system features, not in the
                  original Specification for the PRODUCTS, will be provided upon
                  mutual agreement at GLOCOM's best price.

         11.4     GLOCOM shall not make changes which will lessen the PRODUCT's
                  original specifications, delete features, interfere with the
                  functional characteristics, degrade product performance, or
                  change external physical interfaces without prior approval
                  from OSN. If it is determined that the modifications or
                  alterations will not impact the customers of the PRODUCTS, OSN
                  will most likely authorize the changes.

12.      PRODUCT TRAINING. GLOCOM shall provide a one-time training course, at a
         facility to be determined, in the U.S., in installation, usage and
         maintenance of the PRODUCTS. The training course duration is
         anticipated to take less than a week and formal presentation material
         is not required. At such training, GLOCOM shall provide all manuals,
         documentation, engineering drawings, and other materials necessary for
         OSN or its customers to develop and provide technical sales and service
         and maintenance support. OSN will be responsible for the expenses of
         its personnel attending the training course.

13.      CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

         13.1     INFORMATION RECEIVED. Each PARTY shall maintain in confidence
                  and not disclose or use except as permitted in this AGREEMENT
                  (i) any of the other PARTY's proprietary and confidential
                  technical, business, financial, product, marketing and other
                  information which it receives under this AGREEMENT, and (ii)
                  any of the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT except that
                  the PARTIES may disclose the existence of this AGREEMENT
                  ("CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION").

                  requires such entities to maintain such information in
                  confidence. In addition, the PARTIES may disclose the terms

                  Section 13 shall survive for a period of three (3) years

14.      PRODUCT PROTECTION AND RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

         14.1     PRODUCT PROTECTION. GLOCOM agrees to limit its product
                  development for Inmarsat M-TES to the COMPACT-M only. GLOCOM

                  other systems including the Mini-M (as defined by the Inmarsat
                  SDM for Mini-M) independently and separately from this
                  AGREEMENT. GLOCOM reserves the right to manufacture and sell

                  OSN shall be given the right of first refusal with respect to
                  the distribution, exclusive marketing rights, and sales of any
                  of the PRODUCTS. It is understood that due to parts
                  availability and price fluctuations, the delivery and price

15.      TERM AND TERMINATION

         15.1     TERM. Unless terminated as provided below, this AGREEMENT

         15.2     TERMINATION FOR BREACH. Either PARTY may terminate this
                  AGREEMENT upon written notice to the other PARTY, if the other

                  enforce any provision of the AGREEMENT for any breach by the
                  other PARTY shall not prejudice such PARTY's right of
                  termination or enforcement for any further, continuing or
                  other breach by the other PARTY.

         16.10    SEVERABILITY. In the event that any provision contained in
                  this AGREEMENT should, for any reason, be held to be invalid
                  or unenforceable in any respect under the laws of any
                  jurisdiction where enforcement is sought, such invalidity or
                  unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this

                  AGREEMENT are for convenience only and shall neither be
                  considered a part of, nor affect the construction or

                               LETTER OF AGREEMENT
                                   ADDENDUM #1


This Letter of Agreement is an addendum to the PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the
"AGREEMENT") signed on June 29, 1995, between O'Gara Satellite Networks, Ltd.
("OSN") and Glocom Inc. ("GLOCOM") collectively referred to as the PARTIES.

In connection with the sale of the COMPACT-M and PRODUCTS (defined in the
AGREEMENT), it is understood that the intention of the PARTIES is to maximize
the quantity of units sold under the AGREEMENT. The following activities are
meant to be actions that the PARTIES shall cooperate on in good faith:

1. UNITED STATES MILITARY SALES
- -------------------------------

Although OSN owns complete rights to market the product to the United States
Military, OSN agrees to attempt to negotiate with Rockwell International and
MESC for the purpose of establishing a sales agreement whereby Rockwell and/or
MESC will purchase PRODUCTS from OSN and resell to the United States Military.
If Rockwell and/or MESC purchases PRODUCTS from OSN with a large firm
commitment, OSN may, at its discretion, order additional quantities from GLOCOM
in accordance with paragraph 3.4 of the AGREEMENT and allow them to private
label the PRODUCTS.

2. SUGGESTED LIST PRICE
- -----------------------

Subject to applicable United States laws, OSN will collaborate with its largest
customers and establish a suggested list price for the COMPACT-M. OSN will
strongly propose that the suggested list price be set at $5,995. It is
understood that this price is suggested only and that OSN has no authority to
bind any customer or reseller in establishing prices. Furthermore, it is agreed
that it is in the PARTIES' best interest to encourage OSN's resellers to provide
PRODUCTS to end-users at the lowest price possible.

3. OGM COMMUNICATIONS LTD. (OGM)
- --------------------------------

In recent months, OGM has been formed in which OSN is a principal shareholder.
OGM is currently in negotiations with Morsviasputnik, a Russian company who is a
joint venture member of an Operating Agreement referred to in the marketplace as
Project Condominium (Condo), to purchase a portion of their share in Condo. The
purpose of Condo is to provide Inmarsat-M and Inmarsat-B services via Land Earth
Stations. OSN agrees that in the event OGM (or OSN) completes a purchase
arrangement for a portion of Condo with Morsviasputnik, OSN will provide GLOCOM
with an offer to join the resulting partnership.

                  5.1      Development of Products.

                           (a)      Schedule.  The Parties have agreed on a
schedule for accomplishment of specific events in the development of a
commercially marketable Compact-M Basic Unit, which is set forth in the
"Milestone Schedule" attached as Exhibit C. The Parties agree to use best
efforts to achieve the specific milestones established in the Milestone Schedule
by the dates indicated therein for their accomplishment. However, it is
understood that such specific dates are not absolute requirements and are target
dates, provided that the party to accomplish a specific task is using best
efforts to meet such date. OSN shall consult with Magellan on a regular basis
regarding OSN's progress and accomplishments in pursuing achievement of each
milestone in the Milestone Schedule.

                           (b)      Acceptance.  Magellan will examine and test
limited quantities of first article Production Release Product, as described in
the Milestone Schedule on Exhibit C attached hereto, upon delivery to reasonably
determine whether the same conforms to the Specifications. Within twenty (20)
days of delivery, Magellan will: (i) accept the first article Production Release
Products and so inform OSN in writing; or (ii) reject such Products and provide
OSN with a written statement of the reasons for such rejection. Failure to
reject the Product within such twenty (20) day period shall be deemed an
acceptance thereof. OSN will promptly remedy any defects in the Product and
redeliver such Product to Magellan within thirty (30) days after receipt of
Magellan's rejection notice. Magellan shall, within twenty (20) days after such
redelivery, accept or reject the redelivered Product as provided herein. If
Magellan rejects the Product after the second attempt by OSN to remedy defects,
Magellan may at its discretion agree to repeat such procedure further or may
terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 15.3 below.


<PAGE>   5




                           (c)      Failure to Develop.  If the Product fails to
meet the Specifications after the second redelivery of such Product under
Section 5.1(b), Magellan shall have the right to terminate this Agreement
pursuant to Section 15.3 hereunder. Such termination shall be Magellan's sole
and exclusive remedy for OSN's failure to develop the Product on a timely basis.

                  5.2 DEVIATION FROM SCHEDULE. The Parties agree that if a Party
fails to achieve a particular milestone more than sixty (60) days after the date
specified in the Milestone Schedule or the Delivery Schedule for accomplishing
that milestone or delivery, then the other Party will have the right to
re-negotiate the applicable terms of this Agreement or to terminate the
Agreement under Section 15.3.

         6.       DELIVERY AND SHIPPING

         6.1 PRODUCT DELIVERY SCHEDULE. OSN agrees that it will use all
reasonable efforts to ship the Products as specified in the Delivery Schedule
attached as Exhibit B, as adjusted. Commencing on the date four months after the
date of initiation of commercial production of Products hereunder, Magellan may
adjust the Delivery Schedule with a Delivery Schedule Change Notification
("DSCN"), submitted in writing to OSN no more frequently than once every four
months, which DSCN may change the Delivery Schedule for only Products scheduled
for delivery more than three months after the DSCN is issued; provided, however,
that the total quantity of Products scheduled for delivery within the first 24
months of the first production shipment of Products may not be less than four
thousand (4,000) units, and the change in the total number of units to be
shipped in any one month shall not exceed 50% of the amount previously scheduled
unless agreed to in writing by OSN.

                  6.2      DELIVERY.  OSN shall make delivery of ordered
Products and related items F.O.B. at OSN-U.S. or the
Manufacturing Site.  Unless Magellan specifies that OSN arrange
shipment of ordered Products and related items to a particular
location, Magellan shall be responsible for arranging shipment of
the ordered Products and items from OSN-U.S. or the Manufacturing
Site.

                  6.3 SHIPMENT BY OSN. If Magellan specifies a shipment location
for ordered Products and items, OSN will arrange for the ordered Products and
items to be shipped, according to Magellan's instructions as to carrier and
insurance. In the absence of specific direction, OSN will ship by the best
commercial means available as determined by OSN. All costs of such shipping and
insurance will be prepaid by OSN and added to the invoice to Magellan.

                  6.4      PACKAGING.  OSN will use reasonable commercial
methods to prevent deterioration and damage during shipment,
handling and storage, and to ensure safe arrival at the shipment
destination specified by Magellan.  Prior to commercial shipment


<PAGE>   6



of a Product to Magellan, OSN shall provide Magellan with samples of the
packaging proposed to be used for the Products for Magellan's review and
reasonable approval. OSN's prices include the cost of packaging and preparing
the Products for shipment.

         7.        PRODUCT MARKING

                  7.1      MAGELLAN SPECIFICATIONS.  OSN agrees that the
exterior of the Products ordered by Magellan and the packaging
therefor shall include and conform to the colors, labels,
trademarks and logos specified by Magellan.

                  7.2 MAGELLAN TRADEMARKS. Magellan shall retain its ownership
of all trademarks and other marks and logos it requires on the Products supplied
by OSN hereunder, and no right or license to use such trademarks, marks or logos
is granted OSN hereunder, except as needed to manufacture the Products supplied
to Magellan.

                  7.3 PACKAGING. OSN shall mark and label all packaging and
containers for the shipment and storage of Products in accordance with
Magellan's instructions. Magellan agrees to provide OSN with camera-ready
artwork for such packaging and labelling requirements within thirty (30) days of
the Effective Date.

         8.       PRODUCT WARRANTY

                  8.1 GENERAL WARRANTY. OSN warrants that each Product shall
conform to the Specifications for such Product and shall be free from defects in
material and workmanship, for a period equal to the one (1) year from the date
of shipment of such Product to the end-user (the "Warranty"). The Warranty shall
extend to Magellan and all of its distributors and end-users of the Products.
The Warranty shall specifically exclude any Products which have been subject to
misuse, negligence or accident not caused by OSN or which has been repaired or
altered by any one other then OSN or Magellan. The Warranty shall not and does
not include any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular
purpose. OSN shall not be liable hereunder for consequential or indirect damages
whether or not occasioned by OSN's negligence and OSN neither assumes nor
authorizes any person to assume for it any other liability in connection with
the Products.

                  8.2 WARRANTY REPAIR. OSN shall promptly repair or replace, at
its option and expense, Products that fail to comply with the Warranty in
Section 8.1, or alternately, shall pay Magellan its costs of remedying such
non-compliance. The shipment of non-complying Products to OSN shall be at the
customer's expense, and the return shipment of repaired or replacement Products
by OSN under this Section shall be at OSN's expense.



<PAGE>   7



                  8.3 REPLACEMENT PRODUCTS.  Any Product replaced or repaired 
under the Warranty shall be covered by the Warranty until the later of: (a) the
end of the original period of Warranty for the Product, or (b) 90 days from the
date such Product is returned to Magellan or Magellan's customer.

                  8.4 MAGELLAN REPAIRS. The Parties anticipate that OSN shall
perform most repair or replacement of Products under the Warranty. However,
Magellan may elect to perform Warranty repair at a field site by a Magellan
authorized service representative without invalidating OSN's Warranty. Warranty
repair required as a result of fault or negligence of Magellan or its authorized
representatives in performing such repair shall void the Warranty coverage with
respect to the particular product.

         9.       SERVICE OF PRODUCT AFTER WARRANTY PERIOD

                  9.1 MAIL-IN SERVICE. OSN agrees to provide mail-in repair for
Products after the Warranty period has expired for such Products. The cost of
repair to a Product with a reproducible error or fault shall be a fixed tee of
$1,250, unless otherwise changed by mutual agreement of the Parties. If OSN
receives a Product outside of the Warranty for repair of an error or fault, and
OSN cannot duplicate or reproduce the error or fault identified by the customer,
OSN may charge such customer a mail-in test and evaluation fee of $500.

                  9.2 REPAIR WARRANTY. OSN warrants that paid repairs performed
on a Product under Section 9.1 outside of the original warranty period shall
conform to the Specifications for such Product and shall be free from defects in
material and workmanship for a period of 90 days after delivery of the repaired
Product to the customer.

                  9.3 PARTS REPAIR. OSN agrees to repair auxiliary items and
spare parts for Products, not otherwise covered under Section 9.1, at a cost no
greater than OSN's best OEM repair prices, which shall in any event not exceed
75% of the replacement price hereunder for such items or parts.

                  9.4 SHIPMENT FOR REPAIR. Magellan or the owner of the
defective Product or part is responsible for shipping costs in both directions.
Unless directed otherwise by Magellan, OSN upon receipt of a defective but
repairable part shall immediately ship a replacement part if an identical part
is in inventory. Otherwise, OSN will repair the defective part received and
return the same. OSN shall use best efforts to assist Magellan to achieve a 48
hour or less repair turn around.

         10.      INDEMNIFICATION

                  10.1 PRODUCT LIABILITY.  OSN agrees to protect, indemnify and 
hold Magellan harmless from and against all liability resulting from any and all
claims by third parties for loss, illegal usages by OSN or any of its other
customers,


<PAGE>   8



damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees and costs), fines
or injury (including death) allegedly caused by or arising from or related to
any Product, to the extent not caused by fault attributable to Magellan
(including without limitation Magellan's breach of Section 2.4) and provided
that OSN is notified by Magellan of all such claims within a reasonable period
of time following Magellan's initial notification of such claims.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such claim shall be settled without the
express written consent of Magellan, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, and provided that if the entire amount of such claim is covered by
insurance then such claim may be settled without Magellan's consent.

                  10.2 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. OSN hereby represents that, to the
best of OSN's knowledge, neither the performance by the Parties of their
obligations nor the exercise of their rights under this Agreement shall infringe
on any third party's intellectual property rights. OSN agrees to defend,
indemnify and hold Magellan harmless from and against any and all damages,
claims losses or liabilities, including without limitation, all attorneys' and
other professional fees, resulting from such infringement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, OSN shall have no liability to Magellan under this Section 10.2 in
the event any alleged breach hereunder is based on (i) the use of a Product in
connection or combination with equipment, devices or software not supplied by
OSN, or (ii) the alteration or modification of the Product, if such claim would
have been avoided by the absence of such connection, combination, alteration or
modification.

                  10.3 BY MAGELLAN. Magellan agrees to protect, indemnify and
hold OSN harmless from and against all liability resulting from any and all
claims by third parties for loss, damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable
attorney's fees and costs) or injury (including death) allegedly caused by or
arising from or related to any Product, to the extent not caused by fault
attributable to OSN and provided that Magellan is notified by OSN of all such
claims within a reasonable period of time following OSN's initial notification
of such claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such claim shall be settled
without the express written consent of OSN, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, and provided that if the entire amount of such claim is
covered by insurance, then such claim may be settled without OSN's consent.

                  10.4 INSURANCE. OSN shall obtain and carry in full force and
effect, from and after the date it first delivers Products to Magellan,
appropriate commercial general liability insurance (including product liability
coverage with respect to its Products) in the amount of at least $10 million in
coverage, which insurance shall name Magellan as an additional insured in any
such policy of insurance. OSN shall provide Magellan a copy of the insurance
certificate evidencing the existence of such insurance policy. Additional
insured status shall be limited to all liability resulting from any and all
claims by third parties


<PAGE>   9



for loss, damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees and
costs), or injury (including death) allegedly caused by or arising from or
related to any Product, to the extent not caused by fault attributable to
Magellan (including without limitation Magellan's breach of Section 2.4).

         11.      PRODUCT CHANGES

                  11.1 OSN may make changes to the Products, provided that such
changes result in performance and functionality of such Products that is at
least equivalent or superior to the performance and functionality of the
Products prior to such changes, and provided further that OSN may not make
changes that affect the external appearance of the Product without Magellan's
prior written consent. Any such changes shall be at no additional cost to
Magellan.

                  11.2 OSN will keep the subject Products current, via updates
supplied to Magellan and/or its customers (at Magellan's direction) at no
additional charge, with any and all Inmarsat software change notices that are
mandatory for proper system operation.

                  11.3 Software changes that add optional system features, not
in the original Specification for the Products, will be provided upon mutual
agreement at OSN's best OEM firmware price.

                  11.4 OSN shall not make changes which will lessen the
Product's original specifications, delete features, interfere with the
functional characteristics, degrade product performance, change the external
appearance, or change external physical interfaces without prior approval from
Magellan. If it is determined that the modifications or alternations will not
impact the customers of the Products, Magellan will authorize such changes.

                  11.5 OSN agrees to offer to Magellan the right of first
refusal to obtain the distribution rights (including exclusive marketing rights)
to any Other Products that OSN may develop.

                  11.6 Magellan agrees to offer to OSN the right of first
refusal to supply to Magellan any other Inmarsat products (other than Products)
prior to Magellan offering for sale any such other Inmarsat products.

                  11.7 In the event that, prior to completion of delivery of all
4,000 units of the Compact-M Basic Unit pursuant to Magellan's initial purchase
order hereunder, a future Inmarsat service or product, including without
limitation a Mini-M service or product, is introduced that is directly
competitive with the Products and is marketed at a significantly lower price
than the Compact-M Product, then Magellan and OSN shall cooperate in good faith
in the development of a modified version of the Compact-M Product or a new
terminal, and shall discuss in good faith such


<PAGE>   10



other reasonable and appropriate actions, including without limitations
modifications to the terms of this Agreement, to address and resolve the affects
on the respective parties caused by the marketing of such competitive product or
service.

         12.      PRODUCT TRAINING

                  OSN shall provide a one-time training course at Magellan's
facility in installation, usage and maintenance of the Products. The training
course duration is anticipated to take less than one week and formal
presentation material is not required. At such training, OSN shall provide
Magellan with all manuals, documentation, engineering drawings, and other
materials necessary for Magellan to develop and provide technical sales and
service and maintenance support. All such materials provided to Magellan
hereunder shall be deemed "Confidential Information" of OSN under Article 13,
subject to the exclusions therein. OSN will be responsible for the expenses of
its personnel attending the training course.

         13.      CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

                  13.1 INFORMATION RECEIVED. Each party shall maintain in
confidence and not disclose or use except as permitted in this Agreement any of
the other party's proprietary and confidential technical, business, financial,
product, marketing and other information which it receives under this Agreement
("Confidential Information").

                  13.2 EXCEPTIONS. Section 13.1 shall not apply to, and the
receiving party shall have no obligation with respect to, any information which
the receiving party can demonstrate:

                           (a) is or becomes public knowledge through no
wrongful act of the receiving party,

                           (b) is already known to the receiving party and
not subject to an obligation of non-disclosure,

                           (c) is rightfully obtained by the receiving party
from any third party without restriction on disclosure and
without breach of any obligation owed to the disclosing party,

                           (d) is disclosed pursuant to a lawful requirement
of a governmental agency, or

                           (e) is approved for release by written
authorization of the disclosing, party.

                  13.3 SURVIVAL. The obligations of the parties arising under
this Article 13 shall survive for a period of three (3) years following the term
or any termination of this Agreement.




<PAGE>   11



         14.      PRODUCT PROTECTION

                  Magellan undertakes to preserve in all respects for the
benefit of OSN the design of the Products together with such drawings, tools,
patents, and know-how as may be made available by OSN to Magellan for the
performance of this Agreement. Furthermore, Magellan will not copy, reproduce or
release to any third party whatsoever particulars of the design and
specification of the Products to this Agreement without OSN's prior written
permission, except in so far as may be necessary to instruct and enable
Magellan's customers in the ordinary course of Magellan's business, and except
as permitted under Section 15.5. During the term of this Agreement, Magellan
shall not sell, distribute, or promote either directly or indirectly, nor as a
principal, shareholder, officer, director, employee, agent, partner or
otherwise, any product the same or similar in performance to the Products or any
products directly competitive with any Products.

         15.      TERM AND TERMINATION

                  15.1     TERM.  Unless terminated as provided below, this
Agreement shall be in effect perpetually.

                  15.2 TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE. This Agreement can be
terminated by either party, without specifying any reason, by giving at least
six (6) months notice in writing to the other party. In case of termination
hereunder by OSN, OSN agrees to fulfill completely according to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, any outstanding orders or orders placed by
Magellan within 45 days after such notice, any remaining commitments resulting
from previous orders, and all Products required to be delivered under the
Delivery Schedule prior to the effective date of such termination, and Magellan
shall be released from purchasing any additional Products under the initial
purchase order except for these Products specified to be delivered under the
Delivery Schedule prior to the effective date of such termination. In case of
termination hereunder by Magellan, Magellan guarantees that it shall complete
the purchase of all Products scheduled to be delivered by OSN under any
irrevocable purchase order hereunder.

                  15.3 TERMINATION FOR BREACH. Either party may terminate this
Agreement upon written notice to the other party, if the other party has
committed a material breach or default under the Agreement, which breach or
default remains uncured 30 days after receiving written notice from the
non-breaching party specifying such breach. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, failure of OSN to supply the Compact-M Product conforming to the
Specifications for such Product, within the time frame set forth in the Delivery
Schedule, shall constitute a material breach, subject to sections 5.2 and 6.1.

                  15.4     BANKRUPTCY.  Either party may terminate this
Agreement upon written notice if the other party becomes


<PAGE>   12



bankrupt, insolvent, or unable to pay its debts when due, or suffers the
appointment of a trustee, custodian or receiver for it or a substantial portion
of its assets, or shall commence, or have commenced against it, any proceeding
under any bankruptcy, reorganization, dissolution, adjustment of debt, or
liquidation law or statute, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of
creditors.

                  15.5 CONSEQUENCES OF TERMINATION. In the event Magellan
terminates the Agreement under sections 15.3 or 15.4, Magellan shall have the
right to use all information in the possession or control of OSN to obtain the
continued supply of Products. Articles 8, 9, 10, 13, 15, and 16 shall survive
the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

         16.      MISCELLANEOUS RIGHTS AND DUTIES

                  16.1 NO ASSIGNMENT. Neither this Agreement nor any right or
obligation hereunder may be assigned or delegated by either party without the
prior written consent of the other party, and any attempted assignment or
delegation not in conformity with this Section 16.1 shall be null and void.

                  16.2 SUCCESSOR. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to
the contrary, this Agreement with all rights and obligations hereunder shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor to which either party
directly or indirectly transfers all or substantially all of its business and
assets pertaining to the Product, whether by merger, sale of assets, sale of
stock or otherwise. The party making such a transfer shall assign this Agreement
and the rights and obligations hereunder and obtain from the assignee, in a form
satisfactory to counsel for the other party, an acceptance of such assignment
and an assumption of all of the assignor party's obligations under this
Agreement.

                  16.4 EXCUSED PERFORMANCE. Neither Party shall be liable for
damages because of delays in or failure of performance required under this
Agreement when such delay or failure is due to acts of God, acts of civil or
military authority, fire, flood, strikes, war, epidemics, shortage of power, or
other cause beyond such party's reasonable control and without its fault or
negligence, provided that such party (a) uses best efforts to promptly notify
the other in advance of conditions which will result in any such delay in or

prejudice such party's right of termination or enforcement for any further,
continuing or other breach by the other party.

in any respect under the laws of any jurisdiction where enforcement is sought,
such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this
Agreement and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid or
unenforceable provision had not been contained herein.

                  16.9 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be interpreted and

Compact-M Product Description
- -----------------------------

The Compact-M Inmarsat-M terminal is a portable satellite communications
terminal which allows the user access to the Inmarsat-M voice service and
optionally fax, data, and a secure STU III mode available at select Land Earth
Stations. The equipment comprises a basic unit plus options. The basic unit is
being purchased as the Initial Order, section 3.2 of the Agreement, at the unit
price defined by Product Unit Prices in section 4.1 of the Agreement.

The basic unit provides voice telephone service and operates with a user
supplied 12 Volt DC source (typically found in a vehicle). The basic unit
includes a transceiver unit, a telephone handset, instructions, compass, and a
12VDC power cord, in a soft carrying case. The transceiver unit contains the
system electronics modules packaged in a housing made of plastic and die-cast
aluminum and includes a unique folding antenna design.

Fax, data communications, and secure mode (depends on Land Earth Station
availability), will be available by optional software upgrades. Power supply
options will include an AC/DC converter and a rechargeable battery pack which
allows the unit to be operated off AC mains power or its optional battery pack.

An optional soft case designed to hold the basic unit (including carrying case)
will accommodate the power supply options. Other case options will include a
hard transit case to replace the soft case and a hard transit case designed to
contain the basic unit, power supply options and with room for other peripherals
such as a notebook computer, fax machine and cellular phone. The hard transit
cases will be designed to be transported as checked airline baggage.

The transceiver will incorporate a smart card reader. This system will permit
the unit to be sold with a quantity of pre-paid Minutes and thus permit the user
to arrange to pre-pay for communications services via the terminal.

                  (LES) on all Inmarsat 4 ocean region basis.

         b.       Take-or-Pay Subscription:  For a total of 100,000 or
                  more minutes per year to be paid by the Subscribers but
                  without time limit as when the minutes must be
                  consumed, MVS agrees to provide the Inmarsat-B&M
                  Satellite Services at the following special rate and
                  conditions:  (i) US$3.40/min, charged as $0.34 for
                  first six-second interval and $0.0057 for each 1-second
                  increment thereafter; (ii) good for both Inmarsat-B and
                  M satellite services on telephony, fax and regular data
                  (up to 9.6 kbps) calls initiated from terminal and
                  terminated at any place worldwide; (iii), all inclusive
                  that the rate covers MVS service charge, landline
                  connection charge and any other service charges that
                  may be imposed by MVS as a Routing Organizations or MVS

                  affiliated LES's; and (iv) available to all four ocean
                  regions on the 24-hour basis.

         c.       Non-standard calls:  The following Inmarsat-B&M calls
                  are considered to be the non-standard calls:  (i) Calls
                  initiated from land-based locations to terminals.
                  Subscribers are not responsible for these incoming
                  calls; (ii) Calls routed from an alternate LES rather
                  than MVS affiliated LES's.  The Subscribers (or their
                  customers) may elect to use an alternate LES for
                  routing calls but minutes used in such case will be
                  billed by the alternate LES to customers via MVS acting
                  as Accounting Authority at the rate set by that
                  alternate LES plus MVS standard accounting fee of 8
                  percent plus Subscriber's handling charges; and (iii)
                  terminal-to-terminal calls.  When the Subscriber (or
                  affiliated user) uses the terminal to call another
                  Inmarsat mobile earth station, service charges will be
                  billed at twice the rate as described in 1.b.(i).

2.       MVS RESPONSIBILITIES:  For 100,000 minutes on take-or-pay
         subscription, MVS will provide the Subscribers with the
         following:

         a.       Inmarsat Mobile Number(s) on each terminal
                  commissioning application submitted by Subscribers.
                  The commissioning will be registered through
                  Morsviazsputnik, the routing organization in Russia.
                  No other surcharge will be imposed by MVS;

         b.       Inmarsat-B&M satellite services the rate and conditions
                  stated in Article 1.b.;

         c.       Offer the MVS 1,000-minute promotional deal to each
                  first-time terminal owner commissioned through MVS at
                  $3.20 per minute (global, single rate, all inclusive)
                  with no time limit;

         d.       Monthly itemized calling activity statement by customer
                  account in hardcopy and electronic media.  Regular
                  calls made through the affiliated LES will be charged
                  at the rate per Article 1.b.  All non-standard calls
                  will be charged at the rate per Article 1.c.;

         e.       In the event that MVS is in default of this agreement,
                  or is no longer able to provide the services described
                  in this agreement, it is understood that the Project
                  Condominium agreement will survive and the Subscribers
                  may continue to access the services provided by Project
                  Condominium.  Furthermore the Subscribers will have the
                  option of continuing the terms of this agreement with
                  MVS-USA notwithstanding the optional arrangement
                  described in Article 4.d.

         f.       For all traffic described in Article 3.d., in which SU-04 is
                  the Accounting Authority, MVS agrees to waive all charges and
                  invoice at the rates defined by this Agreement.

3. SUBSCRIBERS OBLIGATIONS:

         a.       Make monthly payment to MVS within 30 days upon
                  receiving invoice for the minutes consumed by
                  Subscribers or their clients during that billing
                  period;

         b.       Make prepayment for the MVS 1,000-minute promotional
                  deal (per Article 2.c.) for each new terminal equipment

                  Subscribers;

         c.       Generate and forward monthly bills to customers per MVS
                  monthly calling activity statement issued;

         d.       Set 015 as the default LES access code in all four ocean
                  regions for those terminals sold by subscribers under this
                  program. As a temporary measure, 013 shall be used as the
                  default LES access code for POR and IOR until such time as an
                  agreement is reached with an POR/IOR LES for 015.

         e.       Maintain a database of all their customers and inform
                  MVS in a timely manner, of all pertinent changes.

         f.       Subscribers shall not publicly promote or advertise their
                  tariff more than 10 percent different from MVS current
                  published rates, so as not to upset market prices or damage
                  other marketing activities.

         g.       In the event that the 100,000 minutes have not been
                  fully taken at the end of this agreement term,
                  Subscribers shall be obligated to pay MVS for the
                  difference between 100,000 minutes and the utilized
                  minutes at the rate of US$3.40 per minute.  These
                  prepaid minutes can then be used by the Subscribers in
                  accordance with this Agreement without any time limit.
                  The payment obligation among the Subscribers shall be
                  in proportion to each Subscriber's initial agreed
                  commitment as follows:  O'Gara Satellite Networks 60
                  percent and GLOCOM 40 percent.

4.  OPTIONAL SERVICES

                  or pay deal identical as those set forth herein.

         b.       Subscribers shall have the option of using MVS as the
                  routing organization and MVS as the Accounting
                  Authority with designation SU-04.

         c.       Subscribers shall have the option of commissioning
                  terminal with any LES it chooses, with the exception
                  that terminals commissioned under the promotional
                  activity described in Article 2.c., will be
                  commissioned with MVS.  Subscribers shall inform MVS,
                  in a timely manner, of any commissioning performed by a
                  different LES so that the terminals will be registered
                  for this agreement.

         d.       Subscribers shall have the option of designating MVS-USA as
                  the billing entity. The terms and conditions of this
                  arrangement, if any, will be provided under a separate
                  agreement, if this option is chosen.

5.       DISCLAIMER:  In no event shall Subscribers be liable to any
         customers or third parties for any incidental, indirect,
         consequential or special damages or loss of revenue or
         profits arising out of or in connection with any MVS or
         affiliated LES operational problems related to the
         subscribed services.

6.       CONFIDENTIALITY:  MVS and the Subscribers shall keep in
         confidence all of the commercial information related to this
         Agreement, and shall not disclose such information for any
         purpose other than as required to fulfil this Agreement.

7.       TERM: This Agreement shall be valid for one year from the date first
         appeared in this document. It shall be automatically renewed every
         twelve month period unless terminated by either the Subscriber(s) or
         MVS by serving written notice to the other Party with at least thirty
         days notice. Termination shall not relieve any Party from its
         obligations under this Agreement.

8.       JURISDICTION:  In the case of any disputes and/or discords
         arising between MVS and Subscribers in connection with this
         Agreement, the Parties agree to settle them by way of
