BACKGROUND
1. Immediately after the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, The Xxxxx-X'Xxxx Company, an Ohio corporation (the "Company"), New
Kroll Holdings, KER Acquisition, Inc., an Ohio corporation which is currently an
indirect wholly owned subsidiary of New Kroll Holdings ("Reorganization Merger
Sub"), and BCP/XXXX Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned
subsidiary of BCP LLC ("Recapitalization Merger Sub"), are entering into a
Merger Agreement (the "Merger Agreement"). (Capitalized terms used but not
defined herein will have the meanings assigned to them in the Merger Agreement.)
The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, for the following two mergers
to occur:
- A "Reorganization Merger", in which Reorganization Merger Sub will
merge with and into the Company, with the shares of the Company being
converted into a like number of shares of New Kroll Holdings and the
shares of Reorganization Merger Sub being converted into shares of the
Company, such that the Company will become an indirect wholly owned
subsidiary of New Kroll Holdings, which itself will become the entity
publicly held by the shareholders who previously held shares in the
Company; and
- A "Recapitalization Merger", which will occur immediately following
consummation of the Reorganization Merger and in which Recapitalization
Merger Sub will merge with and into New Kroll Holdings, with the shares
of New Kroll Holdings (subject to certain exceptions described in this
Agreement) being converted into the right to receive cash and the
shares of Recapitalization Merger Sub being converted into shares of
New Kroll Holdings.
2. Each Shareholder owns the number of shares of common stock,
par value $.01 per share, of the Company (the "Company Common Stock") specified
opposite its name under the column "Owned Shares" on Schedule A (with respect to
the Retaining Shareholders) or Schedule B (with respect to the O'Gara
Shareholders). All of such shares, together with any shares of Company Common
Stock acquired of record or beneficially by such Shareholders in any capacity
after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time of the Recapitalization
Merger, whether upon exercise of options, conversion of convertible securities,
purchase, exchange or otherwise, will be referred to herein as "Owned Shares".
(It is understood that, following consummation of the Reorganization Merger,
references to "Company Common Stock" will mean the shares of common stock, par
value $.01 per share, of New Kroll Holdings.)

Company's business, properties or assets or any of the foregoing, or otherwise
cooperate in any way with, or assist or participate in, facilitate or encourage,
any effort or attempt by any other person to do or seek any of the foregoing
(other than solely in his capacity as an officer or director of the Company in
the event that the Board of Directors of the Company has concluded in accordance
with Section 5.05 of the Merger Agreement failing to take these or similar
actions on the part of the Company would be reasonably likely to cause the Board
of Directors to be in breach of its fiduciary duties to the shareholders of the
Company under the OGCL). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, from and after the date hereof, each O'Gara Shareholder shall promptly
advise BCP LLC orally and in writing of the receipt by any of them (or any of
the other entities or persons referred to above) of any Acquisition Proposal (it
being understood that to the extent solely received in their respective
capacities as officers or directors of the Company, their obligation to so
advise BCP LLC shall be governed by the Merger Agreement) or any inquiry which
is likely to lead to any Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions
of such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry and the identity of the person making
any such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry. Each O'Gara Shareholder will keep BCP
LLC fully informed of the status
6
6
and details of any such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry (it being understood
that to the extent such Acquisition Proposal was received solely in their
respective capacities as officers or directors of the Company, their obligation
to so advise BCP LLC shall be governed by the Merger Agreement).
3.4 Termination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, at the option of BCP LLC, exercisable at any time, this Article 3 will
automatically terminate and the O'Gara Shareholders will be free to vote their
shares of Company Common Stock as they see fit and take any other any action
otherwise prohibited by this Article 3.
ARTICLE 4: PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES
4.1 Purchase and Sale. Upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth herein, the Retaining Shareholders, severally and not
jointly, agree to sell and transfer to BCP LLC, and BCP LLC agrees to purchase
from the Retaining Shareholders, the number of Shares listed under the column

Conversion Shares"). Xxxxx Xxxxx irrevocably waives his right to receive cash in
respect of such Series C/D Conversion Shares and acknowledges and agrees that
his respective Series C/D Conversion Shares will not be converted into cash in
the Recapitalization Merger but instead will be converted into 15,000 newly

issued shares of New Kroll Holdings' Series D Preferred Stock in accordance with
the terms of the Merger Agreement.
5.3 Waiver of Right to Receive Cash and Agreement to Receive

("AIG"), Schedule A identifies 1,111,111.12 of its shares of Company Common

Conversion Shares"). AIG irrevocably waives its right to receive cash in respect
of such Series A Conversion Shares and acknowledges and agrees that such Series

Merger but instead will be converted into 20,000 newly issued shares of New

waives any rights of
8
