(“DAS”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement dated December 22, 2008 by and among DynaBil Acquisition, Inc., each of the Stockholders of DynaBil Acquisition, Inc., as Sellers, Ducommun AeroStructures, Inc., as Purchaser, and Ducommun Incorporated, as Guarantor (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, DAS acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Acquisition”) of DynaBil Acquisition, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary DynaBil Industries, Inc. (collectively, “DynaBil”). The purchase price for the Acquisition of DynaBil includes (i) a cash payment of $39,500,000 subject to adjustment for outstanding indebtedness, certain other liabilities and certain tax benefits, and (i) a promissory note in the principal amount of $7,000,000, with interest accruing at a rate of five percent (5%) per annum, and with principal in the amount of $4,000,000 payable eighteen (18) months after the closing and $3,000,000 payable five (5) years after the closing. The purchase price is subject to adjustment based on DynaBil’s tangible book value as of the closing determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Stock Purchase Agreement contains representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities customary for transactions of this type. Other than the Stock Purchase Agreement, there are no material relationships between DynaBil and its former shareholders, on the one hand, and the Company, DAS and their affiliates, on the other hand. The purchase price consideration was determined by arms’ length negotiations between the parties. On December 23, 2008, the Company issued a press release announcing the acquisition of DynaBil.

On December 19, 2008, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the other lenders named therein (the “Amendment No. 1”). Amendment No. 1 amended the Company’s unsecured revolving credit line of $75,000,000 which matures on April 7, 2010 to (i) provide the lenders approval and consent to the Acquisition, and (ii) increase the Company’s borrowing cost thereunder by 0.75% per annum. Under Amendment No. 1, interest is payable monthly on the Company’s outstanding borrowings at Bank of America’s prime rate plus a spread (0.75% to 1.25% per annum based on the leverage ratio of the Company) or, at the election of the Company, for terms up to six (6) months at the LIBOR rate plus a spread (1.75% to 2.25% per annum depending on the leverage ratio of the Company).

-12-

2.2. Consideration.

(a) The aggregate consideration for the Shares and the Warrant shall consist of the following (collectively, the “Purchase Price”):

(i) An aggregate of $39,500,000 in cash at the Closing (the “Base Cash Amount”), subject to the following adjustments:

(A) plus or minus (as applicable) the Estimated Book Value Adjustment; and

(B) plus or minus (as applicable) the Book Value Adjustment, as determined in accordance with Section 2.5 below; and

(ii) a promissory note in the initial principal amount of $7,000,000 bearing five (5%) percent interest per annum, which interest shall be paid annually on each annual anniversary of the Closing Date, issued by Guarantor to Stockholders’ Representative in favor of the Sellers and payable in cash in principal installments of $4,000,000 eighteen months following the Closing, and $3,000,000 on the fifth anniversary of the Closing, together with any unpaid interest payments accrued in respect to the outstanding principal, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Note”).

(b) The Purchase Price, including the proceeds of the Note, shall be allocated by the Stockholders’ Representative among Sellers as set forth in the Contribution Agreement.

2.3. Closing Payment. Purchaser shall pay Sellers at Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated by Sellers an amount equal to the Base Cash Amount, plus or minus (as applicable), the Estimated Book Value Adjustment, and minus the Escrow Amount (the “Closing Cash Payment”). Purchaser agrees to pay to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as escrow agent (including its successors under the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Agreement and the Indemnity Escrow Agreement, the “Escrow Agent”), at the Closing, the Escrow Amount in cash payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds for deposit into an interest bearing escrow account. Each of the Balance Sheet Escrow Amount and the Indemnity Escrow Amount, respectively, will be available to satisfy amounts owed by Sellers to Purchaser under this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each of the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Agreement and the Indemnity Escrow Agreement, respectively.

2.4. Equity Rights. Immediately prior to or simultaneously hereto, the Equityholders have (i) (to the extent exercisable by such Equityholder) exercised their respective Equity Rights, and (ii) surrendered and irrevocably canceled their Equity Rights. To the extent that an Equityholder is obligated to pay to the Company an exercise price in connection with the exercise

-13-

of his, her or its Equity Rights, the Stockholders’ Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, shall deduct the amount of the exercise price from the portion of the Purchase Price to which such Equityholder may otherwise be entitled, as set forth in the Contribution Agreement. The benefit of any Tax deduction by the Company resulting from such exercise shall be for the benefit of Sellers and shall be included in the calculation of Book Value pursuant to Section 2.5.

2.5. Book Value Adjustment.

(a) Closing Statement. As soon as practicable (but not later than ninety (90) days) following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Stockholders’ Representative a statement (the “Closing Statement”) containing Purchaser’s calculation of Book Value (“Closing Book Value”) as of the close of business on the Closing Date. All calculations of the Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and, to the extent not otherwise provided herein, (i) using the same accounting principles, policies and methods as the Company has historically used in connection with the calculation of the items reflected on the Closing Statement and (ii) containing all year-end reserves and adjustments; provided, however, that such accounting principles, policies and methods shall be in accordance with GAAP. In the sole discretion of the Stockholders’ Representative, the failure of Purchaser to timely deliver such Closing Statement shall constitute Purchaser’s acceptance of the Estimated Book Value as of the Closing Date and the Estimated Book Value shall be the Final Book Value for purposes hereof. Protest Notice. Within forty-five (45) days following the earlier of delivery of the Closing Statement or the date which is ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, the Stockholders’ Representative may deliver written notice (the “Protest Notice”) to Purchaser of any disagreement or modification to any amount included in or omitted from the Closing Statement, or if no such Closing Statement is delivered, the Estimated Book Value. Such Protest Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of such disagreement together with the amount(s) in dispute. The failure of the Stockholders’ Representative to timely deliver such Protest Notice within the prescribed time period will constitute acceptance by the Stockholders’ Representative and the Sellers of the Closing Statement or the Estimated Book Value (as applicable) and the value of the Closing Book Value. The Stockholders’ Representative and its representatives shall be given reasonable access to Purchaser’s books and records and any work papers of Purchaser and its independent accountants relating to the Closing Statement during reasonable business hours and upon two business days notice, for the purpose of verifying the Closing Statement.

(c) Resolution of Protest. During the fifteen (15) days following Purchaser’s receipt of the Protest Notice, Purchaser and the Stockholders’ Representative shall seek to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified therein. If Purchaser and the Stockholders’ Representative are unable to resolve any disagreement as to any amount included in or omitted from the Closing Statement or the Estimated Book Value (as applicable) within fifteen (15) days following Purchaser’s receipt of the Protest Notice, then the amounts in dispute will be referred to the Independent Accountant for final arbitration within forty-five (45) days after submitting the matter to the Independent Accountant, which arbitration shall be final and binding on each of Purchaser and the Sellers. The Independent Accountant shall act as an arbitrator to determine, based solely on the standards set forth in this Agreement and on written presentations by Purchaser and the Stockholders’ Representative, and not by independent review, only those amounts still in dispute. With respect to each disputed item, the Independent Accountant’s determination, if not in accordance with the

-14-

position of either Purchaser or the Stockholders’ Representative, shall not be in excess of the higher, nor less than the lower, of the amounts advocated by Purchaser in the Closing Statement or by the Stockholders’ Representative in the Protest Notice with respect to each such disputed item. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be shared equally between Purchaser and the Sellers. The term “Final Closing Statement,” as used in this Agreement, shall mean the Closing Statement or, if no Closing Statement is delivered, the Estimated Book Value accepted by the Stockholders’ Representative or agreed to by Purchaser and the Stockholders’ Representative in accordance with this Agreement or the definitive statement resulting from the determinations made by the Independent Accountant (in addition to those items theretofore accepted by the Stockholders’ Representative or agreed to by Purchaser and the Stockholders’ Representative). Any determination of the Independent Accountant pursuant to this Section 2.5(c) may be entered into and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(d) Book Value Adjustment and Payment. Within five (5) days following the determination of the Final Closing Statement and the Book Value set forth in such Final Closing Statement (the “Final Book Value”) in accordance with Section 2.5:

(i) If the Final Book Value is equal to or greater than the Estimated Book Value (such excess, the “Upward Book Value Adjustment”), then:

(A) the Stockholders’ Representative and Purchaser shall each deliver written notice to the Escrow Agent and Purchaser specifying the Upward Book Value Adjustment;

(B) the Escrow Agent shall pay to the Stockholders’ Representative the entire Balance Sheet Escrow Amount (adjusted for interest accrued thereon) for distribution to each Seller according to each such Seller’s applicable portion (as set forth in the Contribution Agreement) in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Agreement; and

(C) Purchaser shall promptly pay to the Stockholders’ Representative the Upward Book Value Adjustment for distribution to each Seller according to each such Seller’s applicable portion (as set forth in the Contribution Agreement).

(ii) If the Estimated Book Value is greater than the Final Book Value (such excess, the “Downward Book Value Adjustment”), then:

(A) the Stockholders’ Representative and Purchaser shall each deliver written notice to the Escrow Agent and the Stockholders’ Representative specifying the Downward Book Value Adjustment;

(B) the Escrow Agent shall pay Purchaser the Downward Book Value Adjustment out of the Balance Sheet Escrow Amount (adjusted for interest accrued on such amount) to Purchaser in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Agreement. If the Balance Sheet Escrow Amount is less than the Downward Book Value

-15-

Adjustment, then the Sellers, in proportion to such Seller’s applicable portion (as set forth in the Contribution Agreement) shall within five (5) days pay to the Purchaser the amount of such difference; and

(C) to the extent that one or more Sellers fails to pay such difference within such five (5) day period, Purchaser may, at its option, (1) pursue such deficiency directly from the Sellers or (2) deliver written notice to the Escrow Agent and the Stockholders’ Representative specifying such amount, and the Escrow Agent shall pay such amount out of the Indemnity Escrow Amount to Purchaser in accordance with the terms of the Indemnity Escrow Agreement; provided, however, that the Sellers (I) shall promptly restore the Indemnity Escrow Amount to the extent any funds are so paid and (II) shall remain liable in the event the Indemnity Escrow Amount is insufficient to cover the amount of such deficiency. No failure on the part of Purchaser to deliver a written notice as specified in the immediately preceding sentence shall relieve the Sellers of the obligation to pay the amount of such deficiency to Purchaser.

2.6. Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall be consummated at 9:00 a.m. at the offices of Harter Secrest & Emery LLP, Rochester, New York, on the date hereof (the “Closing Date”).

(a) Authorization of Transaction. Seller has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform his, her or its obligations hereunder.

Seller need not give any notice to, make any filing with, or obtain any authorization, consent, or approval of any government or governmental agency in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and all other agreements contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by Seller.

Except as set forth in Section 4.33 of the Company Letter, none of the Sellers are a party to any option, warrant, purchase right, or other contract or commitment that could require such Seller to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any capital stock of the Company (other than this Agreement). Except as set forth on Section 4.33 of the Company Letter, none of the Sellers are a party to any voting trust, proxy, or other agreement or understanding with respect to the voting of any capital stock of the Company.

ARTICLE V

POST-CLOSING COVENANTS

The Parties agree as follows with respect to the period following the Closing.

5.1. General. In case at any time after the Closing any further action is necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each of the Parties will take such further action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as any other Party reasonably may request, all at the sole cost and expense of the requesting Party (unless the requesting Party is entitled to indemnification therefor under Article VII or Section 8.1 below). Sellers acknowledge and agree that from and after the Closing Purchaser will be entitled to possession of all documents, books, records (including tax records), agreements, and financial data relating to the Company and its Subsidiary.

5.2. Company Indemnification.

(a) Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees that, for a period of six years following the Closing Date, it shall cause the Company to, and the Company shall, maintain in its Certificate of Incorporation and by-laws provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of former or present directors and officers than are presently set forth in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and by-laws on the Closing Date, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for such period in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any such individuals; provided, however, that each of the Sellers and their respective Affiliates will not receive and shall not pursue any such indemnification, advancement of expenses or exculpation to the extent such indemnification, advancement of expenses or exculpation relate to (i) a breach

-36-

of this Agreement, (ii) a breach of any representation set forth in this Agreement by any Seller, or (iii) any action, change, event, condition or circumstance giving rise to an obligation to indemnify a Purchaser Indemnitee under this Agreement. To the extent that former or present directors and officers other than the Sellers are permitted hereunder to pursue such indemnification, advancement of expenses or exculpation (each, a “Covered Person”), the following procedures shall apply:

(i) Such director or officer must deliver notice to Purchaser of any claim (threatened or otherwise) that may give rise to such right of indemnification, advancement of expenses or exculpation; and

(ii) Purchaser and the Company shall have the right, upon written notice to such director or officer, to participate in, and in the absence of a conflict of interest, to assume the defense thereof at the expense of Purchaser or the Company.

(b) Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees that, for a period of six years and 90 days following the Closing Date, it shall cause the Company (or its successors) to, and the Company (or its successors) shall, maintain a Book Value of at least $10,000,000.

(c) This Section 5.2 shall survive the Closing and is intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Covered Person and his or her heirs and legal representatives and shall be binding on the Company and its successors and assigns.

5.3. Employees. Following the Closing, Purchaser shall cause the Company to: (a) continue the Company’s management incentive program for calendar year 2008 as currently adopted by the Company, the terms of which are set forth on Section 5.3(a) of the Company Letter, to the extent accrued on the Final Closing Statement, and (b) pay to the Company’s management employees, in accordance with past practice and in any event prior to March 15, 2009, any bonus amounts earned in the event that such incentive thresholds set forth in such plan are achieved to the extent accrued on the Final Closing Statement.

5.4. Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

(a) From the Closing Date to and including (i) in the case of the Founders, the date which is four years following the Closing Date, (ii) in the case of the Management Shareholders other than Mark Godfrey, the date which is two years following the Closing Date and (iii) in the case of Mark Godfrey, the date which is one year following the Closing Date, each of the Founders and the Management Shareholders hereby agrees that each shall not, for any reason, directly or indirectly,

(i) engage or be interested in any business that competes with the Business, and shall not, directly or indirectly, have any interest in, own, manage, operate, control, be connected with as a shareholder (other than as a shareholder of less than five percent (5%) of the issued and outstanding stock of a publicly-held corporation), joint venture, officer, partner, employee or consultant, or

-37-

otherwise engage or invest or participate in, any business that shall compete with the Business in any county or any other political subdivision of any state of the United States of America or of any other country in the world where the Company conducts the Business as of the date hereof; or

(ii) solicit, recruit or hire any person who as of the Closing Date is a Company Group Employee, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (A) a general solicitation to the public of general advertising or similar methods of solicitation by search firms not specifically directed at Company Group Employees and the hiring of any Company Group Employees who respond thereto, or (B) the Sellers or any of their Affiliates from soliciting, recruiting or hiring any Company Group Employee who has ceased to be employed or retained by the Company, the Subsidiary or the Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates for at least 12 months.

(b) All of the parties agree that the duration and area for which the covenants not to compete and not to solicit set forth in this Section 5.4 are to be effective are reasonable. In the event that any court determines that the time period or the geographical areas provided for in this Section 5.4, or both of them, are unreasonable and that either such covenant is to that extent unenforceable, such covenant shall remain in full force and effect for the greatest time period and in the greatest geographical area that would not render it unenforceable. The parties intend that each such covenant shall be deemed to be a series of separate covenants, one for each and every county of each and every state of the United States of America and for any other country in the world where such covenant is intended to be effective.

(c) The parties agree that damages would be an inadequate remedy for Purchaser in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Section 5.4 and thus, in any such event, Purchaser may, either with or without pursuing any potential damage remedies, immediately seek to obtain and enforce an injunction prohibiting a Seller from violating this Section 5.4.

5.5. Confidentiality

(a) For a period of five years following the Closing Date, the Sellers shall not, and the Sellers shall cause their Affiliates and the respective representatives of the Sellers and their Affiliates not to, use for its or their own benefit or divulge or convey to any third party, any Confidential Information; provided, however, that each of the Sellers or their Affiliates may furnish such portion (and only such portion) of the Confidential Information as such Seller or such Affiliate reasonably determines it is legally obligated to disclose if: (i) it receives a request to disclose all or any part of the Confidential Information under the terms of a subpoena, civil investigative demand or order issued by a governmental authority; (ii) to the extent not inconsistent with such request, it notifies Purchaser of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such request and consults with Purchaser on the advisability of taking steps available under applicable laws to resist or narrow such request; and (iii) it exercises its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the disclosed Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the definition of “Affiliate,” each Institutional Seller shall be responsible for the breach by any of its Institutional Seller Affiliates of any of the obligations of confidentiality set forth in this Section 5.5 as if such

-38-

Institutional Seller Affiliate was an Affiliate for purposes of this Section 5.5, to the extent such breach was related to Confidential Information disclosed to such Institutional Seller Affiliate directly or indirectly by any Seller or, prior to the Closing Date, the Company or its Subsidiary; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.5 shall restrict any Institutional Seller or Institutional Seller Affiliate from disclosing (i) to the current or potential investors of such Institutional Seller or Institutional Seller Affiliate the terms of this Transaction or (ii) to any governmental entity (including the Small Business Administration) such information as may be required by any law or regulation applicable to such Institutional Seller or Institutional Seller Affiliate.

(b) Effective as of the Closing, the Sellers hereby assign to Purchaser all of the Sellers’ right, title and interest in and to any confidentiality agreements entered into by the Sellers (or their Affiliates or representatives) and each Person (other than Purchaser and its Affiliates and representatives) who entered into any such agreement or to whom Confidential Information was provided in connection with a business combination involving the Company or its Affiliates. From and after the Closing, the Sellers will take all actions reasonably requested by Purchaser in order to assist in enforcing the rights so assigned, provided that Purchaser shall reimburse Sellers for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing such assistance. Sellers shall direct Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin Capital, Inc. to request that each such Person return to the Company or destroy any documents, files, data or other materials constituting Confidential Information that was provided to such Person in connection with the consideration of any such business combination, in each case in accordance with the terms of the confidentiality agreement with such Person.

5.6. Wastewater. As soon as practicable but not later than thirty (30) days after the Closing, Purchaser shall provide notice to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, Region 2, and any other governmental entity, if any, that regulates wastewater discharge, that past and present wastewater discharges from the Subsidiary’s facility located at 2 Flint Mine Road, Coxsackie, New York (the “Flint Mine Road Facility”) appear to be subject to regulation under the categorical pretreatment standards promulgated under the Clean Water Act. This notice shall include a proposed schedule to bring the facility into compliance (the “EPA Notice”). Purchaser shall take such actions necessary to bring the Flint Mine Road Facility into compliance with the categorical pretreatment standards within a commercially reasonable time following Closing. Purchaser shall consult with the Stockholders’ Representative regarding the EPA Notice and provide the Stockholders’ Representative with a draft of the EPA Notice for the Stockholders’ Representative’s review and comment. Purchaser shall promptly provide the Stockholders’ Representative with copies of all correspondence, documents, and reports related to bringing the Flint Mine Road Facility into compliance with the categorical pretreatment standards.

Subject to the other limitations set forth in this Article VII, Purchaser and Guarantor shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, save and hold harmless Sellers and each of their Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys, agents and representatives and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) against and from all Damages sustained or incurred by any Seller Indemnitee to the extent resulting from, or arising out of (a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser to Sellers herein or in any closing document delivered to Sellers in connection herewith; and (b) the breach by Purchaser of, or failure of Purchaser to comply with, any of the covenants or obligations under this Agreement to be performed by Purchaser.

-41-

7.4. Limits on Indemnification.

(a) Deductible. The Purchaser Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover under Section 7.2(a)(i), Section 7.2(a)(iii) or Section 7.2(b)(i), and the Seller Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover under Section 7.3(a), in respect of any claim until the total amount which the Purchaser Indemnitees or the Seller Indemnitees (as the case may be) would recover under Section 7.2(a)(i), Section 7.2(a)(iii) and Section 7.2(b)(i) or Section 7.3(a) (as the case may be), but for this Section 7.4(a), exceeds $400,000, and then the Purchaser Indemnitees or the Seller Indemnitees (as the case may be) shall be entitled to recover only the excess over $200,000; provided that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to (i) breaches of (A) the Extended Representations and Warranties or the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.12, and (B) the Purchaser Core Representations and Warranties, and (ii) Damages suffered or incurred by a Purchaser Indemnitee or a Seller Indemnitee (as the case may be) as a result of, or arising out of, the actual fraud or willful misrepresentation of the Company or Sellers, on the one hand, or Purchaser on the other (as the case may be). For purposes of clarity, nothing in this Section 7.4(a) shall apply to any claims under Section 7.2(a)(ii), Sections 7.2(a)(iv) through 7.2(a)(viii) or Section 7.2(b)(ii) or to any claims under Section 7.3(b), subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.4(e).

(b) Delivery of Notice. The Purchaser Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover under Section 7.2, and the Seller Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover under Section 7.3, unless a claim has been asserted by written notice, specifying the alleged misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant with reasonable particularity, the sections of the Agreement alleged to have been breached, delivered to the Stockholders’ Representative or to Purchaser (as the case may be) on or prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in Section 7.1.

(i) In no event shall the Purchaser Indemnitees be entitled to recover under Sections 7.2(a)(i), 7.2(a)(iii), 7.2(a)(viii) or 7.2(b)(i) for any claims for Damages in excess of $8,500,000 plus the amount of any interest earned under the Note plus the amount of any income and interest earned on the Indemnity Escrow Amount (together, the “Cap Amount”); provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply (though the limitations set forth in Section 7.4(e) shall continue to apply) to any Damages: (1) arising from breaches of the Core Representations and Warranties and breaches of representations and warranties contained in Section 4.12, or (2) suffered or incurred by a Purchaser Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, the actual fraud or willful misrepresentation of the Company or Sellers. For purposes of clarity, only recoveries of claims subject to the limitation of the Cap Amount shall be aggregated in calculating whether the Cap Amount has been exceeded, and nothing in this Section 7.4(c)(i) shall apply to any indemnification to which any Purchaser Indemnitee is entitled under Sections 7.2(a)(ii), Sections 7.2(a)(iv) through 7.2(a)(vii) or Section 7.2(b)(ii), in each case subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.4(e).

-42-

(ii) In no event shall the Seller Indemnitees be entitled to recover under Section 7.3(a) for any claims for Damages in excess of the Cap Amount; provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply to any Damages: (1) arising from breaches of Purchaser Core Representations and Warranties, or (2) suffered or incurred by a Seller Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, the actual fraud or willful misrepresentation of Purchaser, in each case without limit upon such Damages. For purposes of clarity, nothing in this Section 7.4(c)(ii) shall apply to any indemnification to which any Seller Indemnitee is entitled under Section 7.3(b).

(d) Other Limitations and Obligations.

(i) The Purchaser Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover under Section 7.2 for any claims for punitive damages arising out of the breach of any representations, warranties or covenants of the Company or Sellers set forth in this Agreement unless such punitive damages either (i) are included in a Third Party Claim and the Purchaser Indemnitee is liable to the third party claimant for such punitive damages or (ii) are suffered or incurred by a Purchaser Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, the fraud or willful misconduct of the Company or Sellers.

(ii) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VII, the Purchaser Indemnitees shall be entitled to recover under Section 7.2 for any claims for Damages, including consequential damages (including lost profits and diminutions in value); provided, that such consequential damages (including lost profits and diminutions in value) shall be calculated as if the Company and the Subsidiary had continued to operate as a separate business without regard to any consequential damages that (i) result uniquely from their combination with the Purchaser after Closing or (ii) are a consequence of any special circumstances applicable to Purchaser.

(iii) The Purchaser Indemnitee and the Seller Indemnitee, as applicable, agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery for matters subject to indemnification claims under this Article VII from available insurance policies, provided, however, that such obligation shall not limit, change or delay a Purchaser Indemnitor’s or Seller Indemnitor’s indemnification obligations under this Article VII unless and until such party actually receives such insurance proceeds, in which case the insurance proceeds actually received for a particular matter (net of fees, costs and expenses incurred obtaining the insurance proceeds) by the Purchaser Indemnitee or the Seller Indemnitee, as applicable, shall reduce the Damages for such matter.

(iv) The Purchaser Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover under Section 7.2 to the extent the matter in question does not exceed the amount of any reserves specific to such matter as such reserves are reflected on the Final Closing Statement and taken into account in the calculation of Final Book Value.

(e) Several Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article VII, in no event shall the cumulative aggregate liability of any particular Seller to the Purchaser Indemnitees under this Article VII for any indemnification amounts under this Article

-43-

VII exceed the proceeds from or related to the Transactions actually due to such Seller, delivered to such Seller, or delivered to the Stockholders’ Representative in favor of such Seller (including such amounts due or delivered under the Note, the Indemnity Escrow Amount, the Balance Sheet Escrow Amount, and any interest or income earned on each) (the “Proceeds Cap”); provided, however, that the cumulative aggregate liability of Pine Street shall not exceed the proceeds received from or related to the sale of the Warrant hereunder.

7.5. Third Party Claims.

(a) If any third party shall notify any Party (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter which may give rise to a claim for indemnification (a “Third Party Claim”) against any other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Article VII, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify each Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying any Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party thereby is prejudiced.

(b) Any Indemnifying Party will have the right at any time to assume and thereafter contest, defend, litigate or settle such Third Party Claim with counsel of his, her or its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party if (i) the Indemnifying Party acknowledges to the Indemnified Party in writing, within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party, its obligations to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to all elements of such Third Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against such Third Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (iii) the Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, and (iv) settlement or an adverse judgment of the Third Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a pattern or practice adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party. In such case, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of any such action, with its counsel and at its own expense; provided, however, that if there are one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that conflict with those available to the Indemnifying Party, or if the Indemnifying Party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently the Third Party Claim after receiving notice from the Indemnified Party that it believes the Indemnifying Party has failed to do so, the Indemnified Party may assume the defense of such claim; provided, further, that the Indemnified Party may not settle such claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. If the Indemnified Party controls the defense of the claim, the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of such claim, with its counsel and at its own expense.

(c) The parties agree to render, without compensation, to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other in order to insure the proper and adequate defense of any action, suit or proceeding, whether or not subject to indemnification hereunder.

-44-

7.6. Indemnity Benefits. Indemnification payments under this Article VII shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party without reduction for any Indemnity Tax Benefits available to the Indemnified Party. However, to the extent that the Indemnified Party recognizes Indemnity Tax Benefits as a result of any Damages, the Indemnified Party shall pay the amount of such Indemnity Tax Benefits (but not in excess of the indemnification payment or payments actually received from the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Damages) to the Indemnifying Party as such Indemnity Tax Benefits are actually recognized by the Indemnified Party. For this purpose, the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to recognize a tax benefit (“Indemnity Tax Benefit”) with respect to a taxable year if, and to the extent that, the Indemnified Party’s cumulative liability for Taxes through the end of such taxable year, calculated by excluding any Tax items attributable to the Damages from all taxable years, exceeds the Indemnified Party’s actual cumulative liability for Taxes through the end of such taxable year, calculated by taking into account any Tax items attributable to the Damages for all taxable years (to the extent permitted by relevant Tax law and treating such Tax items as the last items claimed for any taxable year). The Parties shall make appropriate adjustments for insurance coverage and take into account the time cost of money (using the Applicable Rate as the discount rate) in determining Damages for purposes of this Article VII. All indemnification payments under this Article VII shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price.

7.7. Exclusive Remedy. Purchaser and Sellers acknowledge and agree that the indemnification provisions in this Article VII shall be the exclusive remedy of Purchaser Indemnitees and Seller Indemnitees with respect to the Company, its Subsidiary, and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser and Sellers hereby waive any statutory, equitable, or common law rights or remedies relating to any environmental matters, including without limitation any such matters arising under any Environmental, Health, and Safety Requirements and including without limitation any arising under CERCLA.

7.8. Recoupment Against Indemnity Escrow Amount and Note. Subject to the limitations on indemnification contained in this Article VII, any indemnification to which any Purchaser Indemnitee is entitled under this Agreement as a result of Damages it may suffer shall be made as a payment to Purchaser Indemnitee (a) first from the Indemnity Escrow Amount in accordance with the terms of the Indemnity Escrow Agreement, (b) second, as an offset against the Note, and (c) third, from Sellers in accordance with the terms and subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VII. Purchaser will promptly notify the Stockholders’ Representative in the event any right of offset is claimed by Purchaser hereunder. In the event that any such claims are disputed by the Stockholders’ Representative, Purchaser will withhold any payments due under Sections 2.2(a)(ii), 2.5(d)(i) and 7.3 in the amount asserted pursuant to any such claims, until final resolution of such dispute pursuant to Section 9.9.

7.9. Third Party Beneficiaries. Purchaser agrees that the Seller Indemnitees shall be third party beneficiaries and entitled to enforce rights under the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated March 8, 2006, by and among the Company, the Subsidiary and the shareholders listed therein (the “Original SPA”); provided, however, that the Sellers’ rights shall be subordinate to the Company’s rights thereunder; provided, further, that the foregoing proviso shall not restrict the

-45-

Sellers from enforcing their rights under the Original SPA to the extent the Sellers pay in full each Purchaser Indemnitee claim for indemnification under this Article VII that is related to the enforcement or violation of such rights.

7.10. Limitation on Warranties. PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT CONSTITUTE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY TO PURCHASER IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AND THERE ARE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, ORAL OR WRITTEN, IN RELATION THERETO BETWEEN THE PARTIES OTHER THAN THOSE INCORPORATED IN THIS AGREEMENT. EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, PURCHASER DISCLAIMS RELIANCE ON ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY OR ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY OR SELLERS OR THEIR REPRESENTATIVES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

ARTICLE VIII

TAX MATTERS

The following provisions shall govern the allocation of responsibility as between Purchaser and Sellers for certain tax matters following the Closing Date:

This Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (this “Amendment”), dated as of December 19, 2008, is entered into with reference to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) dated as of April, 7, 2005 among Ducommun Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), each lender from time to time a party thereto (each a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”), and Bank of America, N.A., as a Lender, as Issuing Lender, Swing Line Lender, and as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement. Section references herein relate to the Credit Agreement unless otherwise stated.

RECITALS

A. Borrower has notified the Administrative Agent and Lenders that it intends to acquire all of the capital stock of Dynabil Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Dynabil Parent”), and indirectly thereby to acquire Dynabil Parent’s subsidiary, Dynabil Industries, Inc., a New York corporation (“Dynabil”), in exchange for consideration of approximately $46,500,000 (collectively, the “Dynabil Acquisition”), and requested that the Required Lenders consent to and approve the Dynabil Acquisition.

B. Borrower has also requested certain amendments to the Credit Agreement in order facilitate receipt of the Required Lender’s consent to the Dynabil Acquisition.

C. The Required Lenders are willing to consent to the Dynabil Acquisition on the terms and conditions set forth below.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Dynabil Acquisition.

Borrower has notified the Administrative Agent and Lenders that it intends to complete the Dynabil Acquisition by acquiring all of the capital stock of Dynabil Parent and certain outstanding warrants of Dynabil Parent for approximately $46,500,000, subject to adjustment based on a closing statement to reflect changes in the tangible net book value of Dynabil and Dynabil Parent, to be paid (a) $39,500,000 in cash, and (b) $7,000,000 in notes.

-1-

Subject to the satisfaction of each of the terms and conditions set forth in Section 8 of this Amendment (the “Acquisition Conditions”), the Lenders signing the Consent of Lenders attached hereto hereby approve and consent to the Dynabil Acquisition at any time before March 31, 2009.

Any change in such rate announced by Bank of America shall take effect at the opening of business on the day specified in the public announcement of such change.

-2-

“Base Rate Spread” means, during each Pricing Period, the rate set forth below opposite the Leverage Ratio reported as of the last day of the Fiscal Quarter ending approximately two months prior to the first day of that Pricing Period (or, in the case of any Pricing Period commencing on the date of any Material Permitted Acquisition, the Pro Forma Leverage Ratio in effect on the date thereof):


Leverage Ratio		Base Rate Spread
Less than or equal to 1.00:1.00		75.0 bps

Leverage Ratio		LIBOR Spread
Less than or equal to 1.00:1.00		175.0 bps
Greater than 1.00:1.00 but less than or equal to 1.50:1.00		200.0 bps
Greater than 1.50:1.00		225.0 bps

“Non-Use Fee Rate” means, during each Pricing Period, the rate set forth below opposite the Leverage Ratio reported as of the last day of the Fiscal Quarter ending approximately two months prior to the first day of that Pricing Period (or, in the case of any Pricing Period commencing on the date of any Material Permitted Acquisition, the Pro Forma Leverage Ratio in effect on the date thereof):


Leverage Ratio		Non-Use Rate
Less than or equal to 1.00:1.00		25.0 bps

(j) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4, the Issuing Lender shall not be obligated to issue or extend any Letter of Credit to the extent that any Lender is then an Impacted Lender, unless the Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to the Issuing Lender, with Borrower or such Impacted Lender, to eliminate the Issuing Lender’s risk with respect to such Impacted Lender. Furthermore, to the extent that any Letters of Credit are outstanding at any time when any Lender becomes an Impacted Lender, Borrower shall, within five Business Days enter into arrangements satisfactory to the Issuing Lender to eliminate the Issuing Lender’s risk with respect to such Impacted Lender.

4. Section 2.5(a) – Swing Line Loans. Section 2.5(a) is amended in full to read as follows:

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, from the Closing Date through the day prior to the Maturity Date the Swing Line Lender may, from time to time in its sole discretion at all times, make Swing Line Loans to Borrower in such amounts as Borrower may request which do not result in the Outstanding Obligations being in excess of the then effective Aggregate Commitments, provided that (i) after giving effect to each

-4-

Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Outstandings shall not exceed $7,500,000 and (ii) without the consent of all of the Lenders, no Swing Line Loan may be made during the continuation of an Event of Default. Subject to the first sentence of this Section 2.5(a) Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow under this Section. Unless notified to the contrary by the Swing Line Lender, Swing Line Loans may be made in amounts which are integral multiples of $100,000 upon telephonic request by a Responsible Official of Borrower made to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., California local time, on the Business Day of the requested borrowing (which telephonic request shall be promptly confirmed in writing by telecopier), provided that if the requested Swing Line Loan is to be credited to an account which is not with the Swing Line Lender, the request must be submitted by 11:30 a.m., California local time. Promptly after receipt of such a request for borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall provide telephonic verification to the Swing Line Lender that, after giving effect to such request, the Outstanding Obligations will not exceed the Aggregate Commitments. Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the then applicable Base Rate Spread. Each change in the interest rate under this Section 2.5(a) due to a change in the Base Rate shall take effect simultaneously with the corresponding change in the Base Rate. Unless notified to the contrary by the Swing Line Lender, each repayment of a Swing Line Loan shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000. If Borrower instructs the Swing Line Lender to debit its demand deposit account at the Swing Line Lender in the amount of any payment with respect to a Swing Line Loan, or the Swing Line Lender otherwise receives repayment, after 3:00 p.m., California local time, on a Business Day, such payment shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. The Swing Line Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the Swing Loan Outstandings each time there is a change therein under the Swing Line.

5. Section 2.5(d) – Impacted Lenders. A new Section 2.5(d) is hereby added to the Credit Agreement to read in full as follows:

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.5, to the extent that any Swing Line Loans are outstanding at any time when any Lender becomes an Impacted

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DUCOMMUN INCORPORATED ANNOUNCES

ACQUISITION OF DYNABIL INDUSTRIES, INC.

LOS ANGELES, California (December 23, 2008) - Ducommun Incorporated (NYSE: DCO) today announced that it has acquired DynaBil Industries, Inc. (DynaBil), a privately held company based in Coxsackie, NY. DynaBil is a leading provider of titanium and aluminum structural components and assemblies for commercial and military aerospace applications. DynaBil’s sales in calendar year 2008 are expected to be approximately $43 million.

The purchase price for DynaBil was approximately $46.5 million in cash and notes, and remains subject to adjustment based on a closing balance sheet. DynaBil will become a part of Ducommun AeroStructures, Inc. (DAS), an existing Ducommun subsidiary. The close similarities between DAS and DynaBil, especially in the areas of manufacturing, engineering, supply chain management and sales and marketing, benefit both businesses by broadening their combined capabilities as a leading supplier of aerostructures to the aerospace industry.

Joseph C. Berenato, chairman and chief executive officer of Ducommun stated, “The acquisition of DynaBil is a great strategic fit for us as it adds to our titanium and aluminum assembly capabilities as well as enhancing our manufacturing processes in both metals. DynaBil expands our customer base and our content on key programs including the Sikorsky Blackhawk helicopter and Boeing 787 aircraft. We intend to pursue larger, value-added assembly contracts as a result of our increased assembly capabilities and customer base.”

Ducommun AeroStructures manufactures large, complex structural components and assemblies in aluminum, specialty alloys such as titanium, metal bond and composites for a wide variety of military and commercial aerospace applications.

Founded in 1849, Ducommun Incorporated provides engineering and manufacturing services to the aerospace and defense industry.

The statements made in this press release include forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s future financial results could differ materially from those anticipated due to the Company’s dependence on conditions in the airline industry, the level of new commercial aircraft orders, production rates for Boeing commercial aircraft, the C-17 and Apache helicopter rotor blade programs, the level of defense spending, competitive pricing pressures, manufacturing inefficiencies, start-up costs and possible overruns on new contracts, technology and product development risks and uncertainties, product performance, risks associated with acquisitions and dispositions of businesses by the Company, increasing consolidation of customers and suppliers in the aerospace industry, possible goodwill impairment, availability of raw materials and components from suppliers, and other factors beyond the Company’s control. See the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 27, 2008 for a more detailed discussion of these and other risk factors and contingencies.
