II.    RECITALS
A.
On August 5, 2006, Rutti commenced Rutti I on behalf of himself and all other
individuals allegedly similarly situated to him with respect to the claims he
asserted. In Rutti I, Rutti alleged that LoJack failed to pay for all hours
worked in violation of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) and
California law; that LoJack failed to provide meal and rest periods under
California law; that LoJack failed to reimburse for business-related expenses;
that LoJack failed to pay all wages that allegedly were due upon termination of
employment; and that in engaging in these alleged practices, LoJack also
violated California Business and Professions Code section 17200. Several of
Rutti’s claims in Rutti I claims were dismissed on summary judgment; however,
Rutti appealed and summary judgment was reversed on several claims. While the
appeal was pending, the District Court dismissed the remaining California Labor
Code claims for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction, resulting in the filing of
Rutti II discussed below. Rutti I then proceeded only as an FLSA case on behalf
of individuals not members of the Class. Eventually the case was settled, other
than R-G’s claim for attorneys’ fees and costs, on which the District Court
awarded $900,518 and from which award LoJack noticed the Rutti I appeal.

4

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

B.
After dismissal of the state-law claims in Rutti I, on November 20, 2007, Rutti
and Anaya commenced Rutti II on behalf of themselves and all other individuals
allegedly similarly situated to them with respect to the claims they asserted.
In Rutti II, Rutti and Anaya alleged that LoJack failed to pay for all hours
worked in violation of California law; that LoJack failed to provide meal and
rest periods under California law; that LoJack failed to reimburse for
business-related expenses in accordance with California Labor Code section 2802;
that LoJack failed to timely pay to all wages that allegedly were due upon
termination of employment; and that in engaging in these alleged practices,
LoJack violated California Business and Professions Code section 17200.

C.
Subsequently, Furtado and Hamilton were joined as plaintiffs in Rutti II.

D.
On December 31, 2007, LoJack answered the complaint in Rutti II. LoJack denied
and continues to deny all of Plaintiffs’ material allegations. Specifically,
LoJack contends that it paid for all hours worked; that it provided meal and
rest periods; that it reimbursed for all business-related expenses in accordance
with California Labor Code section 2802; that it did not fail to pay all wages
due upon termination of employment; and that it did not engage in practices that
violated California Business and Professions Code section 17200.

E.
On September 24, 2009, and July 29, 2011, the Superior Court certified classes
in Rutti II with respect to various claims for off-the-clock work, missed rest
periods, and failure to reimburse expenses for the period from April 5, 2003, to
the present; claims for missed meal periods for the period from April 5, 2003,
to around December 2006; and claims for unfair competition for the period from
April 5, 2002, to the present, and appointed Rutti, Furtado, and Hamilton as
class representatives and R-G, as Class Counsel.

F.
Both before and after class certification, the Parties engaged in extensive
discovery in Rutti II, including depositions, interrogatories, and document
requests. In addition, LoJack filed an appeal of the class certification order,
a motion for decertification of the class, a motion to modify the class
definition, and a motion for summary judgment or summary adjudication intended
to dismiss all the claims of many Class Members based on their bankruptcies and
releases of claims, and to dismiss many claims of the remaining Class Members on
a number of legal and factual grounds. Plaintiffs intended to oppose that
motion, which was taken off calendar on account of the Settlement and has not
been ruled upon. In addition, LoJack planned to bring a motion to decertify the
classes certified by the Superior Court. Plaintiffs intended to oppose that
motion, as well.

G.
During good-faith negotiations, each side, represented by its respective
counsel, recognized the substantial risk of an adverse result in Rutti II, and
agreed to settle Rutti II and all other matters covered by this Agreement
pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. This Agreement replaces
and supersedes any other agreements, understandings, or representations between
the Parties.

5

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

H.
This Agreement represents a compromise and settlement of highly disputed claims.
Nothing in this Agreement is intended or will be construed as an admission by
LoJack that Plaintiffs’ claims in Rutti II or R-G’s claim in Rutti I have merit
or that it has any liability to Plaintiffs, the Class, or R-G on those claims,
or as an admission by Plaintiffs that LoJack’s defenses in Rutti II have merit.

Based on these Recitals, the Parties agree as follows:
III.    SETTLEMENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS
A.
Maximum Settlement Amount. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the Maximum Settlement Amount that LoJack may be obligated to pay in
connection with the Settlement of Rutti II is $8,100,000. This amount will cover
(a) all Net Settlement Shares paid to eligible Class Members and (as applicable)
their bankruptcy trustees; (b) all employer taxes applicable to the Settlement
Shares (including FICA payments); (c) the Class Representative Payments and the
Special Anaya Settlement Payment; (d) the Class Counsel Fees Payment and the
Class Counsel Litigation Expenses Payment; (e) the Settlement Administrator’s
fees and expenses; (f) the payment to the California Labor and Workforce
Development Agency (the “LWDA”) for its share of the settlement of claims for
civil penalties; and (g) any other fees or expenses (other than attorneys’ fees
and expenses) incurred in implementing the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and securing dismissal of Rutti II as approved by the Superior Court.
As provided below, LoJack will pay less than the Maximum Settlement Amount if
fewer than all of the Former Employee Class Members or their bankruptcy trustees
choose to submit valid Claim Forms, and may be relieved of the obligation to pay
any of the Maximum Settlement Amount if more than a certain number of Class
Members or their bankruptcy trustees choose to opt out of the Settlement. In
such a case, the Settlement will be deemed null and void, the Parties will
retain any and all rights and obligations and litigation will resume as if the
Settlement had never been entered into. Considered as a whole, the Settlement
does not establish a fund from which claims will be paid.

B.
Minimum Net Settlement Amount. Regardless of the number of Class Members or
their bankruptcy trustees who choose not to participate in the Settlement
(unless LoJack exercises its right to rescission, as provided below), and
regardless of the number of Former Employee Class Members or their bankruptcy
trustees who do not submit valid Claim Forms, the Parties agree that not less
than a Minimum Net Settlement Amount will be allocated to Settlement Shares.

1.
Calculation.

a.
First, the Total Current Employee Class Members Compensable Workweeks will be
calculated by adding all Compensable Workweeks for all Current Employee Class
Members.

6

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

b.
Second, the Total Adjusted Former Employee Class Member Compensable Workweeks
will be calculated by adding (i) all Compensable Workweeks for all Former
Employee Class Members who did not sign prior releases of claims; and (ii)
one-half of all Compensable Workweeks for all Former Employee Class Members who
signed prior releases of claims to account for funds received in exchange for
the releases of claims. The Former Employee Class Members who signed prior
releases of claims are Gregory Acevedo, Jesus Hinojos, Khamphong Noravong,
Daniel Arellano, Arturo Perez Juarez, Rudy Ramirez, Julio Calderon, Omar Lopez,
John Riedy, Maynard Claycomb, Jorge Loredo, Daniel Rios, Antonio Corrales, Luan
Luu, Jose Serna, Albert Cruz, Rodrigo Melchor, Gary Sutton, Nelson Franco, Edwin
Moz Martinez, Robert Wagner, Gilbert Gonzalez, Saul Nava, and Michael Welch.

c.
Third, the Total Adjusted Compensable Workweeks will be calculated by adding the
Total Current Employee Class Member Compensable Workweeks and the Total Adjusted
Former Employee Class Member Compensable Workweeks.

d.
Fourth, the Maximum Net Settlement Amount will be calculated by subtracting from
the Maximum Settlement Amount (as approved by the Court) (1) the Class
Representative Payments and the Special Anaya Settlement Payment; (2) the Class
Counsel Fees Payment and the Class Counsel Litigation Expenses Payment; (3) the
Settlement Administrator’s fees and expenses; (4) the payment to the LWDA; and
(5) any other fees or expenses (other than attorneys’ fees and expenses)
incurred in implementing the terms and conditions of this Agreement and securing
dismissal of Rutti II as approved by the Superior Court.

e.
Fifth, the Minimum Net Settlement Amount will be calculated by adding (1) the
Maximum Net Settlement Amount multiplied by the fraction produced when the Total
Current Employee Class Member Compensable Workweeks are divided by the Total
Adjusted Compensable Workweeks and (2) the Maximum Net Settlement Amount
multiplied by the fraction produced when the Total Adjusted Former Employee
Class Member Comparable Workweeks are divided by the Total Adjusted Compensable
Workweeks, and then multiplied by 3/4. In other words, there will be a
guaranteed payout of 100% of the Maximum Net Settlement Amount allocable to the
claims of Current Employee Class Members and of 75% of the Maximum Net
Settlement Amount allocable to the claims of Former Employee Class Members,
based on the workweek formula set forth above.

7

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

C.
Net Settlement Amount.

1.
If all Former Employee Class Members or their bankruptcy trustees submit valid
Claim Forms, the Net Settlement Amount will be the Maximum Net Settlement
Amount.

2.
However, if a Former Employee Class Member or his bankruptcy trustee does not
file a valid Claim Form, such Former Employee Class Member or his bankruptcy
trustee will not be eligible to receive a Settlement Share, and the Settlement
Share that would have been attributed to such Former Employee Class Member or
his bankruptcy trustee will be deducted from the Maximum Net Settlement Amount.
The amount remaining after those deductions will be the Net Settlement Amount;
however, the Maximum Net Settlement Amount will not be reduced below the Minimum
Net Settlement Amount.

3.
To the extent that the Net Settlement Amount is less than the Maximum Net
Settlement Amount, the difference will be retained by LoJack, and neither any
Plaintiff, nor any Class Member, nor Class Counsel, nor any other third party
will be eligible to claim all or any part of it.

D.
Settlement Share. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
Settlement Administrator will allocate a Settlement Share from the Net
Settlement Amount to eligible Participating Class Members or their bankruptcy
trustees as follows:

1.
Calculation.

a.
First, the Final Total Adjusted Compensable Workweeks will be calculated by
summing: (a) all Compensable Workweeks for Current Employee Class Members who
did not opt out of the Settlement and whose bankruptcy trustees did not opt out
of the Settlement; (b) all Compensable Workweeks for Former Employee Class
Members who did not opt out of the Settlement or whose bankruptcy trustees did
not opt out of the Settlement, who did not sign prior releases of claims, and
who filed valid Claim Forms or whose bankruptcy trustees filed valid Claim
Forms; and (c) half of the Compensable Workweeks for Former Employee Class
Members who did not opt out of the Settlement or whose bankruptcy trustee did
not opt out of the Settlement, who signed prior releases of claims, and who
filed valid Claim Forms or whose bankruptcy trustees filed valid Claim Forms.

b.
Each Current Employee Class Member or his bankruptcy trustee will be allocated a
Settlement Share equal to the Net Settlement Amount times the Current Employee
Class Member’s Compensable

8

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

Workweeks divided by the Final Total Adjusted Compensable Workweeks.
c.
Where the applicable Former Employee Class Member did not sign a prior release
of claims, the Former Employee Class Member or his bankruptcy trustee will be
allocated a Settlement Share equal to the Net Settlement Amount times the Former
Employee Class Member’s Compensable Workweeks divided by the Final Total
Adjusted Compensable Workweeks.

d.
Where the applicable Former Employee Class Member signed a prior release of
claims, the Former Employee Class Member or his bankruptcy trustee will be
allocated a Settlement Share equal to half of the Net Settlement Amount times
the Former Employee Class Member’s Compensable Workweeks divided by the Final
Total Adjusted Compensable Workweeks.

2.
Payments to Bankrupt Class Members or Their Bankruptcy Trustees.

a.
The Bankrupt Class Members include: Edick Allahyari, Mynor Andrade, Antonio
Ascencio, Daniel C. Binder, Hugo R. Bolanos, Jr., Ascary Carrillo, Gilbert
Casas, Rogelio Chavez, Sergio Chavez, Joaquin G. Cocom, Vuong L. Doan, Rodolfo
Flores, Jr., Eric T. Floria, Christopher Franco, Nelson Franco, Rigoberto
Garcia, Robert W. Gately, III, Joel M. Hernandez, Juan Managa, Saul Nava,
Dominique Nguyen, Justin A. Pinho, Adrian Reyes, Gerardo Reyes, Raul G. Sanchez,
Marlon A. Sequeira, Luis Torres, Carlos Valiente, and Orlando White. The Parties
will update this list prior to filing for preliminary approval of the
Settlement.

b.
Where a Net Settlement Share is otherwise payable under the Settlement, the Net
Settlement Share attributable to a Bankrupt Class Member who filed for
bankruptcy after the end of his employment in a class position will be paid to
his bankruptcy trustee, unless the Bankrupt Class Member provides the Settlement
Administrator with written confirmation of abandonment by his bankruptcy trustee
of the claims asserted on behalf of the Bankrupt Class Member in Rutti II. If
the Bankrupt Class Member provides a written confirmation of abandonment of
claims to the Settlement Administrator, and if the Net Settlement Share is
otherwise payable under the Settlement, the Settlement Administrator will pay
the Bankrupt Class Member’s Net Settlement Share to the Bankrupt Class Member.

c.
Where a Net Settlement Share is otherwise payable under the Settlement, the Net
Settlement Share attributable to a Bankrupt Class

9

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

Member who filed for bankruptcy during his employment in a class position will
be paid as follows:
(i)
For the portion of the Bankrupt Class Member’s Net Settlement Share attributable
to time worked in a class position before the Bankrupt Class Member filed for
bankruptcy, half of such amount will be paid to the Bankrupt Class Member and
half to the Bankrupt Class Member’s bankruptcy trustee, unless the Bankrupt
Class Member provides the Settlement Administrator with written confirmation of
abandonment by the bankruptcy trustee of the claims asserted on behalf of the
Bankrupt Class Member in Rutti II. If the Bankrupt Class Member provides a
written confirmation of abandonment of the claims asserted on behalf of the
Bankrupt Class Member in Rutti II to the Settlement Administrator, and if the
Net Settlement Share is otherwise payable under the Settlement, the Settlement
Administrator will pay the Bankrupt Class Member’s full Net Settlement Share to
the Bankrupt Class Member.

(ii)
For the portion of the Bankrupt Class Member’s Net Settlement Share attributable
to time worked in a class position after the Bankrupt Class Member filed for
bankruptcy, 100% of such amount will be paid directly to the Bankrupt Class
Member, provided that the amount is otherwise payable under the Settlement.

3.
Withholding.

a.
One-third of each Settlement Share (the “Wage Portion”) is intended to settle
each Participating Class Member’s claims for unpaid wages. Accordingly, the Wage
Portion will be reduced by applicable employee tax deductions and withholdings
and the employer’s share of taxes applicable to the Wage Portion (including FICA
payments). The Settlement Administrator will issue a Form W-2 with respect to
the Wage Portion less the employer’s share of taxes applicable to it.

b.
One-third of the Settlement Share (the “Non-Wage Reimbursement Portion”) is
intended to settle each Participating Class Member’s claims for reimbursement of
necessary business related expenses incurred in the course and scope of
employment. Accordingly, the Non-Wage Reimbursement Portion will not be reduced
by tax deductions and withholdings; instead, the Settlement Administrator will
issue a Form 1099 with respect to the Non-Wage Reimbursement Portion.

10

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

c.
One-third of the Settlement Share (the “Non-Wage Interest and Penalties
Portion”) is intended to settle each Participating Class Member’s claims for
interest on unpaid wages and unreimbursed business-related expenses and civil
and statutory penalties. Accordingly, the Non-Wage Interest and Penalties
Portion will not be reduced by tax deductions and withholdings; and, instead,
the Settlement Administrator will issue a Form 1099 with respect to the Non-Wage
Interest and Penalties Portion.

4.
Effect of Former Employee Class Members Failing to Submit Claim Forms. Former
Employee Class Members or their bankruptcy trustees who fail to timely submit a
valid Claim Form will receive no Settlement Share, and the Settlement Share that
would have been attributed to such Class Member or his bankruptcy trustee will
be deducted from the Maximum Net Settlement Amount, subject to the requirement
that in no event will LoJack pay less than the Minimum Net Settlement Amount.

E.
Attorneys’ Fees Award in Rutti I. Within 10 days after this Agreement has been
fully executed, LoJack will pay to R-G the attorneys’ fees award issued in Rutti
I, Docket Nos. 295, 297, and 298 (the “Rutti I Attorneys’ Fees Award”), plus
interest at the legal rate specified by 28 U.S.C. section 1961(a). Interest will
not continue to accrue on the Rutti I Attorneys’ Fees Award in R-G’s favor after
the payment is made. However, LoJack will retain the Rutti I Appeal pending the
Agreement becoming Final. If the Agreement becomes Final, LoJack will withdraw
the Rutti I Appeal. If the Agreement does not become Final, LoJack may proceed
with the Rutti I Appeal and the Parties will retain all their rights regarding
the Rutti I Appeal, any post-appeal proceedings, any reduction in the Rutti I
Attorneys’ Fees Award, and any fees awarded for work performed on the Rutti I
Appeal.

F.
Payments to Plaintiffs and Class Counsel. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, the Settlement Administrator will make the following payments
out of the Maximum Settlement Amount as follows:

1.
To Plaintiffs: In addition to their Net Settlement Shares, Plaintiffs will apply
to the Superior Court for an award of not more than $25,000 each as their Class
Representative Payments or, in the case of Anaya, as his Special Anaya
Settlement Payment. LoJack will not oppose Class Representative Payments and the
Anaya Settlement Payment of $25,000 to each Plaintiff. The Settlement
Administrator will pay the Class Representative Payments and Anaya Settlement
Payment approved by the Superior Court (but not more than $25,000 each) out of
the Maximum Settlement Amount. If the Superior Court approves a Class
Representative Payment or Special Anaya Settlement Payment of less than $25,000,
the remainder will be retained in the Maximum Net Settlement Amount. Tax
deductions and withholdings will not be taken from the Class Representative
Payments and Special Anaya Settlement

11

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

Payment, and instead Forms 1099 will be issued to Plaintiffs with respect to
those payments.
2.
To Class Counsel: Class Counsel will apply to the Superior Court for an award of
not more than $3,240,000 (40% of the Maximum Settlement Amount) as their Class
Counsel Fees Payment and an amount not more than $275,000 as their Class Counsel
Litigation Expenses Payment, and LoJack will not oppose their request. The
Settlement Administrator will pay the amount approved by the Superior Court (but
not more than $3,240,000 and $275,000, respectively) out of the Maximum
Settlement Amount. If the Superior Court approves a Class Counsel Fees Payment
or a Class Counsel Litigation Expenses Payment of less than $3,240,000 or
$275,000, respectively, the remainder will be retained in the Maximum Net
Settlement Amount. Tax deductions and withholdings will not be taken from the
Class Counsel Fees Payment or the Class Counsel Litigation Expenses Payment, and
instead a Form 1099 will be issued to Class Counsel.

3.
To LWDA. The Parties will apply to the Superior Court for a payment out of the
Maximum Settlement Amount to the LWDA of $30,000 (the “LWDA Payment”) as the
LWDA’s share of the settlement of statutory penalties paid under this Agreement
pursuant to PAGA. If the Superior Court approves an LWDA Payment of less than
$30,000, the remainder will be retained in the Maximum Net Settlement Amount.

4.
To the responsible tax authorities. The Settlement Administrator will pay out of
each Settlement Share to the responsible tax authorities (a) the employer’s
share of payroll taxes on the Wage Portion of the Settlement Share; and (b) any
other required tax withholdings or deductions on the Wage Portion.

5.
To the Settlement Administrator. The Settlement Administrator will pay out of
the Maximum Settlement Amount to itself its reasonable fees and expenses as
approved by the Superior Court in an amount not to exceed $50,000.

G.
Appointment of Settlement Administrator. The Parties will ask the Superior Court
to appoint Gilardi & Co., LLC, a qualified administrator, to serve as the
Settlement Administrator, which, as a condition of appointment, will agree to be
bound by this Agreement with respect to the performance of its duties and its
compensation. The Settlement Administrator’s duties will include preparing,
printing, and mailing the Class Notice Packet to the Class Members and the
bankruptcy trustees; conducting a National Change of Address search on any Class
Notice Packet returned by the U.S. Postal Service as non-deliverable, and
re-mailing the Class Notice Packet to the Class Member’s or bankruptcy trustee’s
new address; setting up a toll-free telephone number to receive calls from Class
Members and bankruptcy trustees; determining the correct number of Compensable
Workweeks; receiving completed

Participating Class Member’s and bankruptcy trustee’s Settlement Share and Net
Settlement Share, subject to the dollar limitations set forth in this Agreement.
The Settlement Administrator’s reasonable fees and expenses, including the cost

Should the Superior Court decline to preliminarily approve all material aspects
of the Settlement, the Settlement will be null and void and the Parties will
have no further obligations under it.

13

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

2.
Notice to Class Members. After the Superior Court enters its order granting
Preliminary Approval of the Settlement, every Class Member and bankruptcy
trustee will be provided with the Class Notice Packet (which will include the
Class Notice completed to reflect the order granting Preliminary Approval of the
Settlement and (as applicable) the Claim Form for Settlement Share or Class
Member Settlement Information Sheet completed to show the Class Member’s
information) as follows:

a.
Within 20 days after the date on which the Superior Court has granted
preliminary approval, LoJack will provide to the Settlement Administrator the
names, last known addresses and telephone numbers, Social Security numbers, and
the number of Compensable Workweeks of all Class Members (the “Class Members’
Data”). At the same time, LoJack will provide the Class Members’ Data (without
Social Security numbers) to Class Counsel. LoJack also will provide the
Settlement Administrator and Class Counsel with the names and last known
addresses and telephone numbers for the Bankrupt Class Members’ bankruptcy
trustees. Class Counsel will also provide such information to the Settlement
Administrator if LoJack’s information is inaccurate or incomplete and Class
Counsel are able to obtain such information from the Bankrupt Class Members. If
any of the Class Members’ Data are unavailable to LoJack, LoJack will so inform
Class Counsel and the Parties will make their best efforts to reconstruct or
otherwise agree upon the Class Members’ Data prior to when it must be submitted
to the Settlement Administrator. If the Parties are unable to agree, the dispute
will be resolved pursuant to the dispute-resolution procedure set forth in
section III.H.5. This information will otherwise remain confidential and will
not be disclosed to anyone, except as required to applicable taxing authorities,
in order to carry out the reasonable efforts described in section III.H.2.c., or
pursuant to LoJack’s express written authorization or by order of the Superior
Court.

b.
Within 20 days after receiving the Class Members’ Data and bankruptcy trustee
information, or as soon thereafter as it is able to do so, the Settlement
Administrator will mail the Class Notice Packets to all identified Class Members
and bankruptcy trustees via first-class regular U.S. Mail using the mailing
address information provided by LoJack, unless modified by any updated address
information that the Settlement Administrator obtains in the course of
administration of the Settlement. The exterior of the Class Notice Packet’s
mailing envelope, as part of the return address, will include the following:
“RUTTI V. LOJACK CORP. CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT ADMINISTRATOR,” and directly
beneath the address, will include the following: “IMPORTANT LEGAL DOCUMENT
REGARDING

14

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

CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT—YOU MUST NOTIFY THE SETTLEMENT ADMINISTRATOR IF YOUR
ADDRESS IS INCORRECT IN ORDER TO RECEIVE YOUR SETTLEMENT SHARE.”
c.
If a Class Notice Packet is returned because of an incorrect address, the
Settlement Administrator will promptly, and not later than 10 days from receipt
of the returned packet, search for a more current address for the Class Member
or bankruptcy trustee and re-mail the Class Notice Packet to the Class Member or
bankruptcy trustee. The Settlement Administrator will use the Class Members’
Data and otherwise work with LoJack to find that more current address. The
Settlement Administrator will be responsible for taking reasonable steps,
consistent with its agreed-upon job parameters, court orders and fee, as agreed
to with Class Counsel and according to the following deadlines, to trace the
mailing address of any Class Member or bankruptcy trustee for whom a Class
Notice Packet is returned by the U.S. Postal Service as undeliverable. These
reasonable steps shall include, at a minimum, the tracking of all undelivered
mail; performing address searches for all mail returned without a forwarding
address; and promptly re-mailing to Class Members or bankruptcy trustees for
whom new addresses are found. If the Class Notice Packet is re-mailed, the
Settlement Administrator will note for its own records and notify Class Counsel
and LoJack’s Counsel of the date and address of each such re-mailing as part of
a weekly status report provided to the Parties. Class Counsel will be entitled
to receive from the Settlement Administrator any updated address information
about a Class Member or bankruptcy trustee as the Settlement Administrator
obtains such information.

d.
As part of its weekly status report, the Settlement Administrator will inform
Class Counsel and LoJack’s Counsel of completed Claim Forms and Elections Not to
Participate in Settlement it receives.

e.
Not later than 16 court days prior to the Final Approval Hearing, the Settlement
Administrator will serve on the Parties and file with the Court a declaration of
due diligence setting forth its compliance with its obligations under this
Agreement. Prior to the Final Approval Hearing, the Settlement Administrator
will supplement its declaration of due diligence if any material changes occur
between the date of the filing of its prior declaration and the hearing on final
approval.

3.
Deadline for Submission of Claim Forms for Settlement Shares, Class Member
Settlement Information Sheets, And Abandonments of Claims from Bankruptcy
Trustees. Claim Forms for Settlement Shares, Class

15

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

Member Settlement Information Sheets, and abandonments of claims from bankruptcy
trustees must be submitted to the Settlement Administrator such that they are
postmarked no later than 45 days after the Settlement Administrator mails the
Class Notice. In addition, Claim Forms for Settlement Shares may be submitted by
facsimile so long as the form is received no later than 45 days after the
Settlement Administrator mails the Class Notice.
4.
Otherwise, the Claim Form for Settlement Share, Class Member Settlement
Information Sheet, or abandonment of claims from a bankruptcy trustees will not
be timely and will have no effect.

5.
Comments on or Objections to Settlement; Elections Not to Participate in
Settlement. Class Members and bankruptcy trustees may submit comments on or
objections to the Settlement or Elections Not to Participate in Settlement
pursuant to the following procedures:

a.
Comments on or Objections to Settlement. The Class Notice will provide that
Class Members and bankruptcy trustees who wish to comment on or object to the
Settlement must file with the Superior Court and serve on counsel for the
Parties not later than 45 days after the Settlement Administrator mails the
Class Notice a written comment on or objection to the Settlement and setting
forth the grounds for the comment or objection; and must file with the Superior
Court and serve on counsel for the Parties not later than 9 court days before
the date of the Final Approval Hearing a written comment on or objection to the
request for the Class Representative Payments, the Special Anaya Settlement
Payment, or the Class Counsel Fees Payment or Class Counsel Litigation Expenses
Payment. The statement will also indicate whether the Class Member or bankruptcy
trustee intends to appear and comment or object at the Final Approval Hearing;
the failure to so indicate will constitute a waiver of the right to appear at
the hearing. A Class Member or bankruptcy trustee who does not file and serve a
written comment or objection in the manner and by the deadlines specified above
will be deemed to have waived any comments or objections and will be foreclosed
from making any comments or objections (whether by appeal or otherwise) to the
Settlement or other related matters.

b.
Election Not to Participate in Settlement. The Class Notice also will provide
that Class Members and bankruptcy trustees who wish to exclude themselves from
the Settlement must mail to the Settlement Administrator not later than 45 days
after the Settlement Administrator mails the Notice a signed Election Not to
Participate in Settlement. If a question is raised about the authenticity of a
signed

16

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

Election Not to Participate in Settlement, the Settlement Administrator will
have the right to demand additional proof of the Class Member’s or bankruptcy
trustee’s identity. A Non-Participating Class Member or his bankruptcy trustee,
as well as bankruptcy trustees who submit timely and valid Elections Not to
Participate in Settlement, will not participate in or be bound by the Settlement
and the Judgment. A Class Member or bankruptcy trustee who does not complete and
mail a timely Election Not to Participate in Settlement in the manner and by the
deadline specified above automatically will be bound by all terms and conditions
of the Settlement, if the Settlement is approved by the Superior Court, and by
the Judgment, regardless of whether he or she has objected to the Settlement.
c.
Report. Not later than 14 days after the deadline for submission of Elections
Not to Participate in Settlement, the Settlement Administrator will provide the
Parties with a complete and accurate list of all Participating Class Members,
Non-Participating Class Members, bankruptcy trustees who submitted timely and
valid Elections Not to Participate in Settlement, and bankruptcy trustees who
did not submit timely and valid Elections Not to Participate in Settlement.

6.
Resolution of Disputes. If a Class Member or his bankruptcy trustee disputes the
number of Compensable Workweeks stated for that Class Member in his or her Class
Member Settlement Information Sheet (current employees) or Claim Form for
Settlement Share (former employees), the Class Member or bankruptcy trustee must
ask the Settlement Administrator to resolve the matter by returning the
Information Sheet or Form with a statement of the number of Compensable
Workweeks that he or she contends were worked and including with the Information
Sheet or Form any documentation the Class Member or bankruptcy trustee has to
support his or her contention not later than 45 days after the Settlement
Administrator mails the Class Notice. In the event of such a dispute, LoJack
will manually review its payroll and personnel records to verify the correct
number of Compensable Workweeks. LoJack’s records will have a rebuttable
presumption of correctness. After consultation with Class Counsel, the Class
Member or bankruptcy trustee, and LoJack, the Settlement Administrator will make
a determination of the Class Member’s number of Compensable Workweeks, and that
determination will be final, binding on the Parties and the Class Member or
bankruptcy trustee, and non-appealable.

7.
No Solicitation of Comment, Objection, or Election Not to Participate. Neither
the Parties nor their respective counsel will solicit or otherwise encourage
directly or indirectly any Class Member or bankruptcy trustee to

17

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

comment on or object to the Settlement, appeal from the Judgment, or elect not
to participate in the Settlement.
8.
Right of LoJack to Reject Settlement. If five percent or more of Class Members
and their bankruptcy trustees, or a number of Class Members and their bankruptcy
trustees whose Settlement Shares would be worth five percent or more of the
Maximum Net Settlement Amount, timely submit completed Elections Not to
Participate in Settlement, LoJack will have the right, but not the obligation,
to void the Settlement and the Parties will have no further obligations under
the Settlement, including any obligation by LoJack to pay the Maximum Settlement
Amount, or any amounts that otherwise would have been owed under this Agreement,
except that LoJack will pay the Settlement Administrator’s reasonable fees and
expenses incurred as of the date that LoJack exercises its right to void the
Settlement. LoJack will notify Class Counsel and the Superior Court whether it
is exercising this right to void not later than 14 days after the Settlement
Administrator notifies the Parties of the number of valid Elections Not to
Participate in Settlement.

9.
Additional Briefing and Final Approval.

a.
Not later than 16 court days before the Final Approval Hearing, the Parties
jointly will file with the Superior Court a motion for final approval of the
Settlement, the LWDA Payment, and payment of the Settlement Administrator’s
reasonable fees and expenses and a memorandum in support of their motion; and
Plaintiffs and Class Counsel will serve on LoJack and file with the Superior
Court a motion for awards of the Class Representative Payments, the Special
Anaya Settlement Payment, the Class Counsel Fees Payment, and the Class Counsel
Litigation Expenses Payment pursuant to this Settlement, and memoranda in
support of their motions.

b.
Not later than five court days before the Final Approval Hearing, the Parties
jointly may file a reply in support of their motion for final approval of the
Settlement, the LWDA Payment, and payment of the Settlement Administrator’s
reasonable fee and expenses to the extent that any opposition to the motion is
filed; and Plaintiffs and Class Counsel may file replies in support of their
motions for the Class Representative Payments, the Special Anaya Settlement
Payment, the Class Counsel Fees Payment, and the Class Counsel Litigation
Expenses Payment.

c.
If the Superior Court does not grant final approval of the Settlement or grants
final approval conditioned on any material change to the Settlement, then either
Party will have the right to void the Settlement; if that occurs, the Parties
will have no further obligations under the

18

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

Settlement, including any obligation by LoJack to pay the Maximum Settlement
Amount, except that LoJack will pay the Settlement Administrator’s reasonable
fees and expenses incurred as of the date that the Party exercises the right to
void the Settlement under this paragraph. However, an award by the Superior
Court of a lesser amount than that sought by Plaintiffs and Class Counsel for
the Class Representative Payments, the Special Anaya Settlement Payment, the
Class Counsel Fees Payment, or the Class Counsel Litigation Expenses Payment
will not constitute a material modification to the Settlement within the meaning
of this paragraph, provided that LoJack’s obligation to make payments under this
Settlement will remain limited by the Maximum Settlement Amount.
d.
Upon final approval of the Settlement by the Superior Court at or after the
Final Approval Hearing, the Parties will present the Judgment in the form
evidenced by Exhibit F to this Agreement for the Superior Court’s approval and
entry. After entry of the Judgment, the Superior Court will have continuing
jurisdiction over Rutti II and the Settlement solely for purposes of
(i) enforcing this Agreement, (ii) addressing settlement administration matters,
and (iii) addressing such post-Judgment matters as may be appropriate under
court rules or applicable law.

10.
Waiver of Right to Appeal. Provided that the Judgment is consistent with the
material terms and conditions of this Agreement, Plaintiffs, Participating Class
Members who did not timely submit an objection to the Settlement, bankruptcy
trustees who did not timely submit an objection to the Settlement, LoJack, and
their respective counsel hereby waive any and all rights to appeal from the
Judgment, including all rights to any post-judgment proceeding and appellate
proceeding, such as a motion to vacate judgment, a motion for new trial, a
motion under California Code of Civil Procedure section 473, and any
extraordinary writ, and the Judgment therefore will become nonappealable at the
time it is entered. The waiver of appeal does not include any waiver of the
right to oppose any appeal, appellate proceedings or post-judgment proceedings.
This paragraph does not preclude Plaintiffs or Class Counsel from appealing from
a refusal by the Superior Court to award the full Class Representative Payments,
the Special Anaya Settlement Payment, the Class Counsel Fees Payment, or the
Class Counsel Litigation Expenses Payment sought by them. If an appeal is taken
from the Judgment, the time for consummation of the Settlement (including making
payments under the Settlement) will be suspended until such time as their appeal
is finally resolved and the Judgment becomes Final.

11.
Vacating, Reversal, or Material Modification of Judgment on Appeal or Review.
If, after a notice of appeal, a petition for review, or a petition for

19

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

certiorari, or any other motion, petition, or application, the reviewing court
vacates, reverses, or modifies the Judgment such that there is a material
modification to the Settlement, and that court’s decision is not completely
reversed and the Judgment is not fully affirmed on review by a higher court,
then either Plaintiffs or LoJack will have the right to void the Settlement,
which the Party must do by giving written notice to the other Parties, the
reviewing court, and the Superior Court not later than 14 days after the
reviewing court’s decision vacating, reversing, or materially modifying the
Judgment becomes Final. A vacation, reversal, or modification of the Superior
Court’s award of the Class Representative Payments, the Special Anaya Settlement
Payment, or the Class Counsel Fees and Expenses Payment will not constitute a
vacation, reversal, or material modification of the Judgment within the meaning
of this paragraph, provided that LoJack’s obligation to make payments under this
Settlement will remain limited by the Maximum Settlement Amount.
12.
Timing of Settlement Payments.

a.
Two weeks after the Settlement becomes Final, the Settlement Administrator will
pay to Class Counsel the Class Counsel Fees Payment and the Class Counsel
Litigation Expenses Payment.

b.
Four weeks after the Settlement becomes Final, the Settlement Administrator will
pay to eligible Participating Class Members or their bankruptcy trustees, the
Net Settlement Shares; to the responsible tax authorities, the employer’s share
of payroll taxes on Settlement Shares and any other required tax withholding and
deductions; to Plaintiffs, the Class Representative Payments and the Special
Anaya Settlement Payment; to the LWDA, the LWDA Payment; and to the Settlement
Administrator, its reasonable fees and expenses.

13.
Uncashed Net Settlement Share Checks. A Participating Class Member or his
bankruptcy trustee must cash his or her Net Settlement Share check within 150
calendar days after it is mailed to him or her. If a check is returned to the
Settlement Administrator, the Settlement Administrator will make all reasonable
efforts to re-mail it to the Participating Class Member or his bankruptcy
trustee at his or her correct address. If any Participating Class Member’s or
bankruptcy trustee’s Net Settlement Share check is not cashed within 90 days
after its last mailing to the Participating Class Member or his bankruptcy
trustee, the Settlement Administrator will send the Participating Class Member
or his bankruptcy trustee a letter informing him or her that unless the check is
cashed in the next 60 days, it will expire and become non-negotiable, and offer
to replace the check if it was lost or misplaced but not cashed. If the check
remains uncashed by the expiration of the 60-day period

20

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

after this notice, the Settlement Administrator will pay over the funds
represented by the check to the California State Controller-Unclaimed Property
Division with an identification of the Participating Class Member or bankruptcy
trustee. In such event, the Participating Class Member or his bankruptcy trustee
nevertheless will remain bound by the Settlement.
I.
Release of Claims.

1.
Plaintiffs. As of the date of the Judgment, Plaintiffs hereby fully and finally
release LoJack, and its parents, predecessors, successors, subsidiaries,
affiliates, and trusts, and all of its employees, officers, agents, attorneys,
stockholders, fiduciaries, other service providers, and assigns, from any and
all claims, known and unknown, including but not limited to claims arising from
or related to their employment with LoJack, their compensation while a LoJack

the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the
California Fair Employment and Housing Act; and the law of contract and tort.

21

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

2.
Participating Class Members. As of the date of the Judgment, all Participating
Class Members and their bankruptcy trustees, as well as bankruptcy trustees who
did not submit timely and valid Elections Not to Participate in Settlement,
hereby fully and finally release LoJack, and its parents, predecessors,
successors, subsidiaries, affiliates, and trusts, and all of its employees,
officers, agents, attorneys, stockholders, fiduciaries, other service providers,
and assigns, from any and all claims, known and unknown, arising from or related
to the claims and allegations made in Rutti II, whether arising under federal,
state and/or local law, statute, ordinance, regulation, common law, or other
source of law (“Participating Class Members’ Released Claims”). Participating
Class Members’ Released Claims include, but are not limited to, all claims
arising from or related to allegations that LoJack did not pay for all hours
worked, did not provide meal and rest periods, did not reimburse for
business-related expenses, did not pay all wages upon termination of employment,
and engaged in practices in violation of California Business and Professions
Code section 17200 et seq. Participating Class Members’ Released Claims also
include all claims for unpaid wages and premiums, including minimum wages,
overtime wages, meal and rest-period premiums, and interest; statutory and civil
penalties, including, but not limited to, civil penalties under PAGA,
recordkeeping penalties, pay-stub penalties, minimum-wage penalties, missed meal
period and rest-period penalties, and waiting-time penalties; and attorneys’
fees and expenses. Participating Class Members’ Released Claims also include all
such claims arising under the California Labor Code (including, but not limited
to, sections 203, 226.7, 227.3, and 2698 et seq.); the wage orders of the
California Industrial Welfare Commission; California Business and Professions
Code section 17200 et seq.; the California common law of contract; the Fair
Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. § 201 et seq.; federal common law; and the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act, 29 U.S.C. § 1001 et seq.

3.
Class Counsel. As of the date of the Final Judgment, and except as otherwise
provided by this Agreement (including its provision for LoJack’s satisfaction of
the District Court’s order and judgment awarding attorneys’ fees to R-G in Rutti
I), Class Counsel and any counsel associated with Class Counsel waive any claim
to costs and attorneys’ fees and expenses against LoJack arising from or related
to Rutti I and Rutti II, including but not limited to claims based on the
California Labor Code, the California Code of Civil Procedure, the Fair Labor
Standards Act, or any other statute or law (the “Class Counsel Released
Claims”).

4.
Waiver of Rights Under California Civil Code Section 1542. Plaintiffs’ Released
Claims, the Participating Class Members Released Claims, and the Class Counsel
Released Claims include all such respective claims, whether known or unknown by
the releasing party. Thus, even if Plaintiffs, a Participating Class Member, a
bankruptcy trustee, or Class Counsel discover

22

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

facts in addition to or different from those that they now know or believe to be
true with respect to the subject matter of their respective Plaintiffs’ Released
Claims, Class Released Claims, or Class Counsel Released Claims, those claims
will remain released and forever barred. Therefore, with respect to those
Released Claims, Plaintiffs, Participating Class Members, Participating Class
Members’ bankruptcy trustees, and Class Counsel expressly waive and relinquish
the provisions, rights and benefits of section 1542 of the California Civil
Code, which reads:
A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or
suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which
if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with
the debtor.
J.
No Effect on Other Benefits. The Net Settlement Shares will not result in any
additional benefit payments (such as 401(k) or bonus) beyond those provided by
this Agreement to Plaintiffs or Participating Class Members or their bankruptcy
trustees, and Participating Class Members and their bankruptcy trustees will be
deemed to have waived all such claims, whether known or unknown by them, as part
of their release of claims under this Agreement.

K.
Miscellaneous Terms.

1.
No Admission of Liability or Class Certification for Other Purposes.

a.
LoJack denies that it has engaged in any unlawful activity, has failed to comply
with the law in any respect, has any liability to anyone under the claims
asserted in Rutti II, or that but for the Settlement a class should be certified
in Rutti II. This Agreement is entered into solely for the purpose of
compromising highly disputed claims. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or
will be construed as an admission of liability or wrongdoing by LoJack, or an
admission by Plaintiffs that any of their claims was non-meritorious or any
defense asserted by LoJack was meritorious. This Settlement and the fact that
Plaintiffs and LoJack were willing to settle Rutti II will have no bearing on,
and will not be admissible in connection with, any litigation (other than solely
in connection with the Settlement).

b.
LoJack has agreed not to contest further the certification of the Class for the
sole purpose of effectuating this Settlement. Should the Settlement be voided by
LoJack pursuant to this Agreement, or not approved by the Superior Court, or
should the Judgment not become Final, the fact that LoJack was willing not to
contest further class certification as part of the Settlement will have no
bearing on, and will not be admissible in connection with, the issue of whether
the

23

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

Class was properly certified in a non-settlement context in Rutti II or any
other action, and in any of those events LoJack expressly reserves the right to
move for class decertification.
c.
Whether or not the Judgment becomes Final, neither the Settlement, this
Agreement, any document, statement, proceeding or conduct related to the
Settlement or the Agreement, nor any reports or accounting of those matters,
will be (i) construed as, offered or admitted in evidence as, received as, or
deemed to be evidence for any purpose adverse to LoJack or any other beneficiary
of the releases granted under this Agreement (the “Released Parties”),
including, but not limited to, evidence of a presumption, concession, indication
or admission by any of the Released Parties of any liability, fault, wrongdoing,
omission, concession or damage; or (ii) disclosed, referred to or offered in
evidence against any of the Released Parties, in any further proceeding in Rutti
II, or any other civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding except
for purposes of effectuating the Settlement pursuant to this Agreement.

d.
This section and all other provisions of this Agreement notwithstanding, any and
all provisions of this Agreement may be admitted in evidence and otherwise used
in any and all proceedings to enforce any or all terms of this Agreement, or in
defense of any claims released or barred by this Agreement.

2.
Integrated Agreement. After this Agreement is signed and delivered by all
Parties and their counsel, this Agreement and its exhibits will constitute the
entire agreement between the Parties relating to the Settlement, and it will
then be deemed that no oral representations, warranties, covenants, or
inducements have been made to any Party concerning this Agreement or its
exhibits other than the representations, warranties, covenants, and inducements
expressly stated in this Agreement and its exhibits.

3.
Attorney Authorization. Class Counsel and LoJack’s Counsel warrant and represent
that they are authorized by Plaintiffs and LoJack, respectively, to take all
appropriate action required or permitted to be taken by such Parties pursuant to
this Agreement to effectuate its terms, and to execute any other documents
required to effectuate the terms of this Agreement. The Parties and their
counsel will cooperate with each other and use their best efforts to effect the
implementation of the Settlement. In the event the Parties are unable to reach
agreement on the form or content of any document needed to implement the
Agreement, or on any supplemental provisions that may become necessary to
effectuate the terms of this Agreement, the Parties will seek the assistance of
the Superior Court, and in all cases all such documents,

24

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

supplemental provisions and assistance of the court will be consistent with this
Agreement.
4.
Modification of Agreement. This Agreement, and any and all parts of it, may be
amended, modified, changed, or waived only by an express written instrument
signed by all Parties or their successors-in-interest.

5.
Agreement Binding on Successors. This Agreement will be binding upon, and inure
to the benefit of, the successors of each of the Parties.

6.
Applicable Law. All terms and conditions of this Agreement and its exhibits will
be governed by and interpreted according to the laws of the State of California,
without giving effect to any conflict of law principles or choice of law
principles.

7.
Cooperation in Drafting. The Parties have cooperated in the drafting and
preparation of this Agreement. This Agreement will not be construed against any
Party on the basis that the Party was the drafter or participated in the
drafting.

8.
Fair Settlement. The Parties and their respective counsel believe and warrant
that this Agreement reflects a fair, reasonable, and adequate settlement of
Rutti II and have arrived at this Agreement through arms-length negotiations,
taking into account all relevant factors, current and potential.

9.
Headings. The descriptive heading of any section or paragraph of this Agreement
is inserted for convenience of reference only and does not constitute a part of
this Agreement.

10.

WHAT IS THIS NOTICE ABOUT?

Plaintiffs Mike Rutti, Gerson Anaya, Christian Furtado, and James Hamilton
(“Plaintiffs”) and defendant LoJack Corporation (“LoJack”) have reached a
proposed settlement in the class action called “Rutti v. LoJack Corp., Inc.”,
Los Angeles Superior Court Case No. BC381043 (the “Rutti Class Action”), and the
Court has preliminarily approved it. The settlement covers the following Class
Members:
All persons employed by LoJack Corporation in the State of California as an
installation technician, senior installation technician, field specialist,
senior field specialist, installer, and/or senior installer at any time from
April 5, 2002, through December 3, 2012.
You have received this notice because LoJack’s records indicate that you are a
Class Member or a bankruptcy trustee for a Class Member.
This notice is designed to inform you of whether you need to submit a claim to
receive a settlement payment (also called a “Net Settlement Share”) and, if a
claim is required, how you can submit the claim; how to submit a written
confirmation of an abandonment of claims by your bankruptcy trustee if you have
one; and how to object to the Settlement or elect not to participate in the
Settlement. If you do not submit an Election Not to Participate in Settlement
form to opt-out of the Settlement, the Settlement, if finally approved by the
Court, will be binding upon you, regardless of whether you make a claim or
object to the Settlement.

WHAT IS THIS LAWSUIT ABOUT?

2

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

On November 20, 2007, plaintiffs Mike Rutti and Gerson Anaya filed the Rutti
Class Action. They alleged various claims, including that LoJack failed to pay
for hours worked, failed to provide meal and rest periods, failed to reimburse
employees for business related expenses, and failed to pay final wages upon
termination of employment. Later, Christian Furtado and James Hamilton were
added as plaintiffs. The Superior Court certified classes in the lawsuit on
September 24, 2009, and July 29, 2011, and appointed plaintiffs Rutti, Furtado,
and Hamilton as class representatives.
LoJack denied and continues to deny all of plaintiffs’ material allegations.
After good-faith negotiations, plaintiffs and LoJack agreed to settle the Rutti
Class Action pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Settlement.
The Settlement represents a compromise and settlement of highly disputed claims.
Nothing in the Settlement is intended or will be construed as an admission by
LoJack that Plaintiffs’ claims have merit or that it has any liability to
Plaintiffs or the Class on those claims. On the contrary, LoJack denies any and
all such liability.
The parties and their counsel have concluded that the Settlement is
advantageous, considering the risks and uncertainties to each side of continued
litigation. The parties and their counsel have determined that the Settlement is
fair, reasonable, and adequate and is in the best interests of the members of
the Class.
SUMMARY OF THE SETTLEMENT

WHO IS INCLUDED IN THE SETTLEMENT?
You are included in the Settlement if you fall within the following definition
(or are the bankruptcy trustee for an individual who falls within the following
definition):
All persons employed by LoJack Corporation in the State of California as an
installation technician, senior installation technician, field specialist,
senior field specialist, installer, and/or senior installer at any time from
April 5, 2002, through December 3, 2012.

WHAT WILL I RECEIVE FROM THE SETTLEMENT, AND WHAT CLAIMS WILL I RELEASE?
If every eligible Class Member and bankruptcy trustee participates in the
Settlement and receives a Net Settlement Share, the parties estimate a Class
Members or his bankruptcy trustee will receive approximately $______ per
Compensable Workweek if the Class Member did not sign a prior release of claims
in connection with a severance payment from LoJack. If a Class Member signed a
prior release of claims, the Class Member or his bankruptcy trustee will receive
approximately $____ per Compensable Workweek. This estimate is calculated before
applicable tax withholdings and deductions.
This is only an estimate and may increase or decrease depending on the number of
Former Employee Class Members and their bankruptcy trustees who submit valid
Claim Forms and on the amounts

3

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

set by the Court for the Class Representative Payments, the Special Anaya
Settlement Payment, Class Counsel Fees Payment and Litigation Expenses Payment,
the award to the LWDA, and the Settlement Administrator’s fees and expenses, and
any other fees or expenses (except attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in
implementing the terms of this Settlement and securing dismissal of the Action.
The following paragraphs provide greater explanation regarding payments made
under the Settlement and the Class Member Release.
1.
Under the Settlement, LoJack will pay up to a Maximum Settlement Amount of
$8,100,000.

2.
From the Maximum Settlement Amount, and subject to Court approval, the
Settlement Administrator will pay Class Representative Payments to plaintiffs
Rutti, Furtado, and Hamilton, the Special Anaya Settlement Payment, Class
Counsel’s attorneys’ fees and costs, the Settlement Administrator’s fees and
expenses, any other fees or expenses (other than attorneys’ fees and expenses)
incurred in implementing the Settlement and securing dismissal of the Action,
and an amount to the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency (the
“LWDA”) for its share of the settlement of claims for civil penalties. The
remaining amount will be the “Maximum Net Settlement Amount.” The following
sub-paragraphs provide further details regarding various payments from the
Maximum Settlement Amount.

(a)
Class Representative Payments and Special Anaya Settlement Payment: In addition
to their shares as Participating Class Members, Plaintiffs will seek approval
from the Court for payment of $25,000 each to Mike Rutti, Christian Furtado, and
James Hamilton for their services as Class Representatives in initiating the
Action, their work in the prosecution of the Action, and their acceptance of the
risk of paying LoJack’s attorneys’ fees and expenses in the event of an
unsuccessful outcome of the Action; and a payment of $25,000 to Gerson Anaya to
secure a full release of claims from him.

(b)
Class Counsel Fees Payment and Litigation Expenses Payment in Rutti Class
Action: Class Counsel have represented and continue to represent the Class on a
contingency-fee basis. That means that attorneys’ fees are paid only if money is
recovered for the class. It is common to award attorneys’ fees as a percentage
of the recovery obtained by the efforts of the attorneys for the class. As part
of the final approval hearing, Matthew Righetti and John Glugoski of Righetti
Glugoski, P.C, will request $3,240,000 (or 40% of the Maximum Settlement Amount)
for their attorneys’ fees in connection with their work in the Rutti Class
Action and up to $275,000 in reimbursement of their reasonable litigation costs
and expenses that were advanced in connection with the Rutti Class Action.
LoJack does not oppose these payments. Class Members and their bankruptcy
trustees are not personally liable for any fees and costs. These amounts
constitute full and complete compensation for all legal fees, costs and expenses
of all Class Counsel, including costs and expenses resulting from experts and
other vendors retained by Class Counsel in connection with the litigation and
all work done through the completion of the litigation, whatever date that may
be. Class Members and their bankruptcy trustees will not be required to pay
Class Counsel for any other attorneys’ fees, costs or expenses out of their own
pockets if the Settlement Agreement and the fee

4

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

request are finally approved by the Court. Class Counsel’s attorneys’ fees and
expenses as approved by the Court will be paid out of the Maximum Settlement
Amount.
(c)
Costs of Administration: The reasonable costs of administering the Settlement,
including the Settlement Administrator’s fees and expenses, will be paid out of
the Maximum Settlement Amount.

(d)
Payment to LWDA: Subject to Court approval, $30,000 will be paid to the LWDA for
its share of the settlement of civil penalties claimed in the Rutti Class
Action.

3.
If a Former Employee Class Member or his bankruptcy trustee does not file a
valid Claim Form, the Settlement Share that would have been attributed to such
Class Member or bankruptcy trustee will be deducted from the Maximum Net
Settlement Amount. However, unless LoJack exercises its right to rescission, as
provided below, not less than a “Minimum Net Settlement Amount” will be
allocated to settlement shares. The Minimum Net Settlement Amount equals 100% of
the Maximum Net Settlement Amount allocable to the claims of Current Employee
Class Members and 75% of the Maximum Net Settlement Amount allocable to the
claims of Former Employee Class Members. The actual amount allocated to
Settlement Shares will be the “Net Settlement Amount.”

4.
To the extent that the Net Settlement Amount is less than the Maximum Net
Settlement Amount, LoJack will retain the difference and neither any Plaintiff,
nor any Class Member, nor Class Counsel, nor any other third party will be
eligible to claim all or any part of it.

5.
For Class Members who did not sign a prior release of claims, the portion of the
Net Settlement Amount allocated as a Settlement Share to each Class Member
and/or bankruptcy trustee who does not opt out of the Settlement and (where
required) submits a valid Claim Form will be calculated as follows:

Settlement Share
=
Net Settlement Amount x
(Class Member’s Number of Compensable Workweeks ÷
Final Total Adjusted Compensable Workweeks)

For Class Members who signed a release of claims, the amount allocated to the
Settlement Share will be half of the amount produced by the formula above.
The Final Total Adjusted Compensable Workweeks will be calculated by summing:
(a) all Compensable Workweeks for Current Employee Class Members who did not opt
out of the Settlement (or whose bankruptcy trustees did not opt out of the
Settlement); (b) all Compensable Workweeks for Former Employee Class Members who
did not opt out of the Settlement (or whose bankruptcy trustees did not opt out
of the Settlement), who did not sign prior releases of claims, and who filed
valid Claim Forms (or whose bankruptcy trustees filed valid Claim Forms); and
(c) half of the Compensable Workweeks for Former Employee Class Members who did
not opt out of the Settlement (or whose bankruptcy trustees did not opt out of
the Settlement), who signed prior releases of claims, and who filed valid Claim
Forms (or whose bankruptcy trustees filed valid Claim Forms).

5

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

6.
Employee payroll tax withholding and deductions and the employer’s share of
payroll taxes will be taken from one-third of each Settlement Share to account
for the settlement of wage claims before it is distributed to the Class Member
or his bankruptcy trustee. The resulting amount is the “Net Settlement Share.”

7.
The Net Settlement Shares and other amounts will be paid after final Court
approval of the Settlement and after all rights to appeal or review are
exhausted or any appeal or review has been resolved in favor of the Settlement.

8.
If five percent or more of Class Members and their bankruptcy trustees, or a
number of Class Members and bankruptcy trustees whose Settlement Shares would be
worth five percent or more of the Maximum Net Settlement Amount, timely submit
completed Elections Not to Participate in Settlement, LoJack will have the
right, but not the obligation, to rescind the Settlement, and the Settlement and
all actions taken in its furtherance will be null and void. LoJack will notify
Class Counsel and the Court whether it is exercising this right to rescind not
later than 14 days after the Settlement Administrator notifies the parties of
the number of valid Elections Not to Participate in Settlement, which the
Settlement Administrator will provide within 14 days after the deadline for
submission of the Election Not to Participate in Settlement forms.

9.
Class Member Release. As of the date of final approval of the Settlement by the
Court, Class Members and their bankruptcy trustees (except for Class Members and
bankruptcy trustees who submit valid and timely Election Not to Participate in
Settlement forms) fully and finally release LoJack, and its parents,
predecessors, successors, subsidiaries, affiliates, and trusts, and all of its
employees, officers, agents, attorneys, stockholders, fiduciaries, other service
providers, and assigns, from any and all claims, known and unknown, arising from
or related to the claims and allegations made in the Rutti Class Action, whether
arising under federal, state and/or local law, statute, ordinance, regulation,
common law, or other source of law (“Participating Class Members’ Released
Claims”). Participating Class Members’ Released Claims include, but are not
limited to, all claims arising from or related to allegations that LoJack did
not pay for all hours worked, did not provide meal and rest periods, did not
reimburse for business-related expenses, did not pay all wages upon termination
of employment, and engaged in practices in violation of California Business and
Professions Code section 17200 et seq. Participating Class Members’ Released
Claims also include all claims for unpaid wages and premiums, including minimum
wages, overtime wages, meal and rest-period premiums, and interest; statutory
and civil penalties, including, but not limited to, civil penalties under the
California Labor Code Private Attorneys General Act, Cal. Lab. Code § 2698 et
seq., recordkeeping penalties, pay-stub penalties, minimum-wage penalties,
missed meal period and rest-period penalties, and waiting-time penalties; and
attorneys’ fees and expenses. Participating Class Members’ Released Claims also
include all such claims arising under the California Labor Code (including, but
not limited to, sections 203, 226.7, 227.3, and 2698 et seq.); the wage orders
of the California Industrial Welfare Commission; California Business and
Professions Code section 17200 et seq.; the California common law of contract;
the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. § 201 et seq.; federal common law; and
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, 29 U.S.C. § 1001 et seq.

6

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

10.
Release Includes Claims You May Not Know About. The Participating Class Members’
Released Claims include all such claims, whether known or unknown. Thus, if you
participate in the Settlement, then even if you discover facts in addition to or
different from those that you now know or believe to be true with respect to the
subject matter of the Participating Class Members’ Released Claims, those claims
will remain released and forever barred. Therefore, as Class Members or their
bankruptcy trustees, you expressly waive and relinquish the provisions, rights,
and benefits of section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which reads:

A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or
suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which
if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with
the debtor.
11.
Plaintiffs’ and Class Counsel’s Support of the Settlement. Plaintiffs as Class
Representatives and Class Counsel support the Settlement. Their reasons include
the risk of class decertification and a trial on the merits, the risk of loss on
the merits, and the inherent delays and uncertainties associated with
litigation. Based on their experience litigating similar cases, Class Counsel
believe that further proceedings in this case, including a trial and probable
appeals, would be very expensive and protracted. No one can confidently predict
how the various legal questions at issue, including the amount of damages, would
ultimately be resolved. Therefore, upon careful consideration of all of the
facts and circumstances of this case, Class Counsel believes that the Settlement
is fair, reasonable, and adequate.

WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS UNDER THE SETTLEMENT, AND HOW DO I OBTAIN A NET SETTLEMENT
SHARE?
1.
Participating in the Settlement. Class Representatives and Class Counsel
represent your interests as a Class Member or Class Member’s bankruptcy trustee.
Unless you elect not to participate in the Settlement, you will be bound by the
terms of the Settlement and any final judgment that may be entered by the Court,
and you will be deemed to have released the claims against LoJack and the other
released parties described above. As a Class Member or Class Member’s bankruptcy
trustee, you will not be responsible for the payment of attorneys’ fees or
reimbursement of litigation expenses unless you retain your own counsel, in
which event you will be responsible for your own attorneys’ fees and expenses.

2.
Commenting on or Objecting to the Settlement. You may comment on or object to
the terms of the Settlement before final approval, either by (1) mailing a
written comment or objection to the Court, the Settlement Administrator, and
counsel for the parties, or (2) appearing at the final approval hearing. If the
Court rejects your comment or objection, however, you will still be bound by the
terms of the Settlement, unless you also submit an Election Not to Participate
in Settlement form.

3.
To comment or object, you must send a written comment or objection or a written
notice of your intent to appear and comment or object at the final approval
hearing to the Court and to counsel at the same addresses shown below.

you must file with the Court and serve on counsel for the parties any written
comments or objections and/or notices of intent to appear at the hearing not

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

or objection in the manner described above and by the specified deadline will be
deemed to have waived any comments or objections and will be foreclosed from
making any comments on or objections to the Settlement (whether by appeal or
otherwise).
5.
Claiming a Net Settlement Share. The following paragraphs provide details
regarding how to claim a Net Settlement Share.

(a)
Current Employees and Their Bankruptcy Trustees. If you are a Current Employee
Class Member, or the bankruptcy trustee for a Current Employee Class Member, you
will be entitled to a Net Settlement Share unless you submit an Election Not to
Participate in Settlement form.

(b)
Former Employees and Their Bankruptcy Trustees. If you are a Former Employee or
Former Employee’s bankruptcy trustee and wish to receive a Net Settlement Share,
you must complete the enclosed Claim Form. The Claim Form must be completed,
signed by you, and returned to the Settlement Administrator by not later than
[45 DAYS AFTER NOTICE MAILED], 2013. You will not receive a Net Settlement Share
unless you complete and timely submit the Claim Form, but you will remain bound
by the Settlement (unless you submit an Election Not to Participate in
Settlement form).

(c)
Employees Who Have Declared Bankruptcy After Their Final Employment with LoJack
in a Class Position. If you filed for bankruptcy after your final employment
with LoJack in a class position, you will be entitled to a Net Settlement Share
if and only if you provide the Settlement Administrator with written
confirmation of abandonment by your bankruptcy trustee of the claims asserted on
your behalf in the Rutti Class Action. Otherwise, you will receive nothing, and
your Net Settlement Share will be paid to your bankruptcy trustee.

(d)
Employees Who Have Declared Bankruptcy During Their Employment With LoJack in a
Class Position. If you filed for bankruptcy during your employment with LoJack
in a class position, you will be entitled to a full Net Settlement Share if and
only if you provide the Settlement Administrator with written confirmation of
abandonment by your bankruptcy trustee of the claims asserted on your behalf in
the Rutti Class Action. Otherwise, you will receive only half of the portion of
the Net Settlement Share attributable to the time you worked in a class position
before you filed for bankruptcy; the other half will be paid to your bankruptcy
trustee.

6.
Disputing the Number of Compensable Workweeks. If you dispute the time period
during which you were employed in a class position by LoJack between April 5,
2002, and December 3, 2012, listed on your Claim Form (if you are a former
employee or bankruptcy trustee for such an individual) or on your Class Member
Settlement Information Sheet (if you are a current employee or bankruptcy
trustee for such an individual), you must ask the Settlement Administrator to
resolve the matter. In order to do so, you must return the Claim Form or Class
Member Settlement Information Sheet to the Settlement Administrator by [45 DAYS
AFTER NOTICE MAILED], informing the Settlement Administrator of the fact of the
dispute and the basis for your contention that a different number of compensable
workweeks is correct for you (including any documentary evidence that you have
to support your

9

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

contention). In the event of such a dispute, LoJack will review its payroll and
personnel records to verify the time period during which you (or the Class
Member) were employed. LoJack’s records will have a rebuttable presumption of
correctness. After consultation with you, Class Counsel, and LoJack, the
Settlement Administrator will make a determination of the dates you (or the
Class Member) worked, and that determination will be final, binding on you and
LoJack, and non-appealable.
7.
Excluding Yourself from the Class and the Settlement. If you wish to exclude
yourself from the Class and the Settlement, you must complete the enclosed form
of Election Not to Participate in Settlement (“Election Not to Participate”).
The Election Not to Participate must be completed, signed by you, and mailed to
the Settlement Administrator by not later than [45 DAYS AFTER NOTICE MAILED],
2013. If the Settlement is approved by the Court, a Class Member or bankruptcy
trustee who fails to mail an Election Not to Participate in the manner and by
the deadline specified above will be bound by all terms and conditions of the
Settlement and the Judgment, regardless of whether he or she has objected to the
Settlement and whether or not he or she has submitted a Claim Form. A Class
Member or bankruptcy trustee may only submit a Claim Form OR an Election Not to
Participate. If a Class Member or bankruptcy trustee sends both forms, the
Election Not to Participate will be deemed invalid.

8.
Any eligible person who files a complete and timely Election Not to Participate
will, upon receipt, no longer be a member of the Settlement Class and will not
be eligible to receive a Net Settlement Share. Any such person, at his or her
own expense, may pursue any claims he or she may have against LoJack, its
affiliates, predecessor, or acquired companies. An incomplete Election Not to
Participate will be deemed invalid. An Election Not to Participate submitted
with a Claim Form will also be deemed invalid.

9.
Consistent with LoJack’s policies, there will be no retaliation or adverse
action taken against any Class Member who participates in the Settlement or
elects not to participate in the Settlement.

10.
The Settlement Administrator’s Address. The Court has appointed Gilardi & Co.,
LLC to act as an independent Settlement Administrator. If applicable, send your
Claim Form for Settlement Share, your Class Member Settlement Information Sheet,
your Election Not to Participate in Settlement, or your written confirmation of
abandonment by your bankruptcy trustee of the claims asserted on your behalf in
the Rutti Class Action to the Settlement Administrator at the following address:

LoJack Settlement Administrator
Gilardi & Co., LLC
3301 Kerner Blvd., #100

Hill Street, 3rd Floor, Los Angeles, CA 90012 to determine whether the

Class Member Release:
As indicated in the Notice of Settlement of Class Action, I understand and agree
that by signing and submitting this Claim Form, and otherwise participating as a
Class Member, as of the date of final approval of the Settlement, I hereby fully
and finally release LoJack, and its parents, predecessors, successors,
subsidiaries, affiliates, and trusts, and all of its employees, officers,
agents, attorneys, stockholders, fiduciaries, other service providers, and
assigns, from any and all claims, known and unknown, arising from or related to
the claims and allegations made in the Rutti Class Action, whether arising under
federal, state and/or local law, statute, ordinance, regulation, common law, or
other source of law. These released claims include, but are not limited to, all
claims arising

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

from or related to allegations that LoJack did not pay for all hours worked, did
not provide meal and rest periods, did not reimburse for business-related
expenses, did not pay all wages upon termination of employment, and engaged in
practices in violation of California Business and Professions Code section 17200
et seq. These released claims also include all claims for unpaid wages and
premiums, including minimum wages, overtime wages, meal and rest-period
premiums, and interest; statutory and civil penalties, including, but not
limited to, civil penalties under the California Labor Code Private Attorneys
General Act, Cal. Lab. Code § 2698 et seq., recordkeeping penalties, pay-stub
penalties, minimum-wage penalties, missed meal period and rest-period penalties,
and waiting-time penalties; and attorneys’ fees and expenses. Participating
Class Members’ Released Claims also include all such claims arising under the
California Labor Code (including, but not limited to, sections 203, 226.7,
227.3, and 2698 et seq.); the wage orders of the California Industrial Welfare
Commission; California Business and Professions Code section 17200 et seq.; the
California common law of contract; the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. § 201
et seq.; federal common law; and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, 29
U.S.C. § 1001 et seq.

If I later discover facts in addition to or different from those that I now know
or believe to be true with respect to the subject matter of the released claims,
those claims will remain released and forever barred. Therefore, as a Class
Member, I expressly waive and relinquish the provisions, rights, and benefits of
section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which reads:
A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or
suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which
if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with
the debtor.
If I am the trustee of the estate of a Class Member, I have provided appropriate
documentation about the capacity in which I am submitting this Claim Form on
separate sheets attached.

On ___________, 2012, a hearing was held on the joint motion of plaintiffs Mike
Rutti, Christian Furtado, and James Hamilton, and defendant LoJack Corporation
(“LoJack”), for preliminary approval of the parties’ proposed settlement,
approval of the notice to be sent to the class and bankruptcy trustees about the
settlement and the forms of claim form for settlement share, class member
settlement information, and election not to participate in the settlement, and
the setting of a date for the hearing on final approval of the settlement.
John J. Glugoski of Righetti Glugoski, P.C., appeared for plaintiffs, and
Jeffrey D. Wohl of Paul Hastings LLP appeared for LoJack.
The Court having read and considered the papers on the motion, the arguments of
counsel, and the law, and good cause appearing therefore,
IT IS ORDERED:
1.The parties’ Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement”) (Declaration of John J.
Glugoski in Support of Joint Motion for Preliminary Approval of Class Action
Settlement, [“Glugoski Decl.”], Exh. 1) is granted preliminary approval as it
meets the criteria for preliminary settlement approval. The Settlement falls
within the range of possible approval as fair, adequate and reasonable, and
appears to be the product of arm’s-length and informed negotiations and to treat
all Class Members fairly.
2.The parties’ proposed notice plan is constitutionally sound because individual
Class Notices will be mailed to each and all class members and class members’
bankruptcy trustees whose identities are known to the parties, and such notice
is the best notice practicable. The parties’ proposed Notice of Proposed Class
Action Settlement and Final Approval Hearing (“Class Notice”) (Settlement
Agreement, Exh. A), and proposed Claim Form for Settlement Share, Class Member
Settlement Information Sheet, and Election Not to Participate in Settlement
forms (id., Exhs. B-1, B-2, C-1, C-2, D) are sufficient to inform Class Members
and bankruptcy trustees of the terms of the Settlement,
