2010 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

EMPLOYEE OPTION GRANT AWARD AGREEMENT

 

GRANT TO:  [Name]

 

THIS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of [Date] (the “Grant Date”),
between Armored Auto Group Parent Inc. (f/k/a Viking Parent Inc.), a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), and [Name] (the “Grantee”).  Capitalized terms,
unless defined in Section 9 or a prior section of this Agreement, shall have the
same meanings as in the Viking Parent Inc. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the
“Plan”).

 

WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant to the Grantee options (“Options”) to
purchase a certain number of shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01, of the
Company on the date hereof pursuant to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the Plan.

 

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it would be to the advantage, and in the
best interest, of the Company and its stockholders to grant the option provided
for herein to the Grantee pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Plan and
this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and
other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged,
the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

SECTION 1.                         GRANT OF OPTION AWARD

 

(a)                                 Grant.  Subject to the terms and conditions
of the Plan and this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee the
right and option to purchase all or any part of an aggregate of [Total Number of
Options] Shares (the “Option”), subject to adjustment as set forth in the Plan. 
[Number of Time-Based Options] Shares subject to the Option shall vest based on
the passage of time (the “Time Award”), and [Number of Performance-Based
Options] Shares subject to the Option shall vest based upon the achievement of
certain annual performance goals specified herein (the “Performance Award”), in
each case, in accordance with Section 2 and Section 5.

 

(b)                                 Plan.  The Option is subject to the terms
and conditions of the Plan (as it may be amended from time to time) which are
hereby incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Agreement.

 

(c)                                  No Rights as Stockholder. It shall be
understood that none of the terms contained herein grant to the Grantee any
rights as a stockholder, and the Grantee shall not have any such rights under
this Agreement unless and until the Grantee receives Incentive Shares in
connection with the exercise of the Option in accordance with the terms
hereunder.

 

(d)                                 Non-Competition and Confidentiality.  In
consideration of the Option granted herein, the Grantee agrees to be bound by
the non-competition and confidentiality provisions set forth on Schedule C
hereto, which is incorporated herein and made a part hereof

 

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

 

(the “Restrictive Covenants”).  The Grantee hereby acknowledges and agrees that
the Restrictive Covenants set forth on Schedule C hereto are in addition to, and
not in lieu of, any other restrictive provisions and covenants in favor of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries by which the Grantee is otherwise bound,
including, but not limited to, the restrictive provisions and covenants
contained in the [Insert prior employment/restrictive covenant agreement] dated
as of [Insert date of such agreement].

 

(e)                                  Exercise Price.  The Exercise Price of the
Shares subject to the Option shall be $[·] per Share (the “Exercise Price”).

 

SECTION 2.                         VESTING

 

The portion of the Option that has become vested is hereinafter referred to as
the “Vested Portion” and the portion of the Option that has not yet become
vested is hereinafter referred to as the “Unvested Portion”.  Subject to the
terms set forth in the Plan and this Award Agreement, the Option shall vest as
follows:

 

(a)                                 Time Award.  The Time Award shall vest in
equal installments on each of the first, second, third, fourth and fifth
anniversaries of the Grant Date (each such date, a “Time Vesting Date”), such
that 20% of the Time Award shall vest on each Time Vesting Date, subject to the
Grantee’s continued Service through the applicable Time Vesting Date.

 

(b)                                 Performance Award.  The Performance Award
shall vest as set forth below:

 

(i)                                     The Performance Award shall vest in
equal annual twenty percent (20%) installments (each, a “Tranche”) on each
Determination Date for each of the fiscal years ending on December 31 of [2014,
2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018] (each, a “Fiscal Year”), subject to (i) the Grantee’s
continued Service on each Determination Date, and (ii) the achievement of the
annual Group EBITDA targets specified in Schedule A hereto, as determined by the
Board in its reasonable discretion.  With respect to each applicable Fiscal
Year, “Determination Date” shall mean the date on which the Board determines the
level at which the applicable Group EBITDA for such year has been attained,
which date shall be no later than fifteen (15) days following the date on which
the Company’s audited financial statements with respect to such Fiscal Year are
delivered to the Board, and, promptly after such determination, the Company
shall notify the Grantee of the amount of Group EBITDA for such Fiscal Year and
the portion of the Performance Award that vests pursuant to this
Section 2(b)(i).

 

1.                                      Vesting.  With respect to any applicable
Fiscal Year of the Company, 100% of the Tranche eligible to vest with respect to
such Fiscal Year shall vest if the Group EBITDA with respect to such Fiscal Year
is equal to, or greater than, the Target Amount applicable to such Fiscal Year,
as set forth on Schedule A.  With respect to any applicable Fiscal Year of the
Company, 0% of the Tranche eligible to vest with respect to such Fiscal Year
shall vest if the Group EBITDA with respect to such Fiscal Year is less than the
Floor Amount applicable to such Fiscal Year as set forth in Schedule A.  In the
event that the Group EBITDA for Fiscal Years [2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018] is at
least the Floor Amount, then the portion of such Tranche eligible to vest with
respect to such Fiscal Year that becomes vested shall be determined based on the
following formula: (i) 100% of the amount of the Tranche eligible to

 

2

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

 

vest in such Fiscal Year, multiplied (ii) by a fraction, (x) the numerator of
which is the actual Group EBITDA for such Fiscal Year minus the Floor Amount
applicable to such Fiscal Year as set forth on Schedule A, and (y) the
denominator of which is Target Amount applicable to such Fiscal Year as set
forth on Schedule A minus the Floor Amount applicable to such Fiscal Year as set
forth on Schedule A; provided that such percentage shall not exceed 100%. For
the 2014 Fiscal Year, 100% of the Tranche eligible to vest with respect such
Fiscal Year shall vest in the event that the Group EBITDA for the 2014 Fiscal
Year is at least the Floor Amount.

 

2.                                      Carry Back and Carry Forward.  With
respect to the Performance Award granted pursuant to this Agreement, if the
Group EBITDA for the Fiscal Year ending December 31, [2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 or
2018] (determined before the application of this Section 2(b)(i)(2) (each a
“Current Year”) exceeds the Target Amount for such Current Year as set forth on
Schedule A (the amount of such excess, an “Excess Amount”): (x) the Group EBITDA
for the prior Fiscal Year (“Prior Year”) shall be recalculated to be an amount
equal to the sum of the Group EBITDA for such Prior Year plus the Excess Amount
(a “Carry Back”); or (y) the Group EBITDA for the following Fiscal Year (“Next
Year”) shall be recalculated to be an amount equal to the sum of the Group
EBITDA for such Next Year plus the Excess Amount (a “Carry Forward”).  Any
Excess Amount shall first be applied to a Carry Back, and then, any remaining
Excess Amount may be applied to a Carry Forward; provided, that there shall be
no Carry Forward for 2019 for performance in respect of 2018.  For the avoidance
of doubt, in no event will more than 100% of the Tranche eligible to vest with
respect to such Fiscal Year become vested after taking into account any
applicable Carry Back or Carry Forward.

 

(ii)                                  In no event shall the Grantee be eligible
to receive more than one-hundred percent (100%) of the Performance Award.

 

(c)                                  Accelerated Vesting.  In connection with a
Change of Control, subject to the Grantee’s continued Service through the date
of the Change of Control (or if Grantee’s Service is involuntarily terminated
without Cause or is voluntarily terminated with Good Reason in either case
within sixty (60) days before a Change of Control:

 

(i)                                     the entire Unvested Portion of the Time
Award shall vest (it being understood that in no event shall the Grantee be
eligible to receive more than one-hundred percent (100%) of the Time Award); and

 

(ii)                                  the entire Unvested Portion of the
Performance Award, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Performance Award
for any Prior Year that has not vested pursuant to the annual Group EBITDA
targets specified in Schedule A, shall vest (it being understood that in no
event shall the Grantee be eligible to receive more than one-hundred percent
(100%) of the Performance Award) if, and only if, the applicable Return of
Capital Target as set forth in Schedule B is achieved; and upon the occurrence
of a Change of Control in which the applicable Return of Capital Target set
forth in Schedule B is not achieved, all such unvested Performance Award options
shall be cancelled by the Company without consideration and shall be deemed
terminated and forfeited without consideration in all respects, or as otherwise
determined by the Board.

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

 

SECTION 3.                         EXERCISE PROCEDURES

 

(a)                                 Notice of Exercise.  Subject to Section 5
hereof, the Vested Portion may be exercised by delivering to the Company at its
principal office written notice of intent to so exercise in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit A (such notice, a “Notice of Exercise”).  Such Notice of
Exercise shall be accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate Exercise Price
in cash for the Shares to be exercised (plus payment of the applicable tax
withholding) and, if applicable, an executed Joinder Agreement as required by
Section 3(c), and an Irrevocable Proxy as required by Section 3(d).  In the
event that the Option is being exercised by the Grantee’s representative, the
Notice of Exercise shall be accompanied by proof (satisfactory to the Committee)
of the representative’s right to exercise the Option.  The aggregate Exercise
Price for the Shares to be exercised shall be paid (i) in cash or another form
of payment to the extent, but only to the extent, permitted by the Board, in its
sole discretion, in accordance with the Plan, or (ii) following an Initial
Public Offering, subject to such requirements as may be imposed by the Board and
subject to other requirement or restriction in the Stockholders’ Agreement,
through the delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to sell Shares
obtained upon the exercise of the Option and to deliver promptly to the Company
an amount out of the proceeds of such sale equal to the aggregate Exercise Price
for the Shares being purchased.  In the event of the Grantee’s death, the Vested
Portion shall be exercisable by the executor or administrator of the Grantee’s
estate, or the Person or Persons to whom the Grantee’s rights under this
Agreement shall pass by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, as the
case may be.  Any heir or legatee of the Grantee shall take rights herein
granted subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan.

 

(b)                                 Withholding.  The Company shall have the
power and the right to deduct or withhold automatically from any amount
deliverable under this Agreement, or otherwise, or to require the Grantee to
remit to the Company, the minimum statutory amount to satisfy federal, state and
local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld
with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of this Agreement. The
Grantee may elect, subject to the approval of the Board, in its sole discretion,
to satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by having the
Company withhold Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date the tax is to be
determined equal to the minimum statutory total tax that could be imposed in
connection with any such taxable event.

 

(c)                                  Joinder Agreement; 83(b) Election.  At the
time of the Notice of Exercise, if the Grantee is not then party to the
Stockholders’ Agreement, the Grantee shall be required to execute a Joinder
Agreement and become a party to the to the Stockholders’ Agreement prior to or
concurrent with such exercise.  If the Grantee fails to execute the Joinder
Agreement at or prior to the time of the Notice of Exercise, such exercise shall
be ineffective and, without further notice, be deemed null and void.  Grantee
understands that under Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “Code”), the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Incentive
Shares on the date of any forfeiture restrictions applicable to such Incentive
Shares lapse over the Exercise Price for such Incentive Shares will be
reportable as ordinary income on such lapse date.  For this purpose, the term
“forfeiture restrictions” includes the right of the Company to repurchase the
Incentive Shares pursuant to the repurchase rights set forth in the
Stockholders’ Agreement.  Grantee understands that Grantee may elect under
Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed at the time the Incentive Shares are
acquired, rather than when and as such Incentive Shares cease to be subject to
such forfeiture restrictions.  Such election must be

 

4

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

 

filed with the Internal Revenue Service within thirty (30) days after the
Exercise Date.  Even if the Fair Market Value of the Incentive Shares on the
Exercise Date equals the Exercise Price (and thus no tax is payable), the
election must be made to avoid adverse tax consequences in the future.  Grantee
understands that failure to make this filing within the thirty (30) day period
will result in the recognition of ordinary income by Grantee as and each time
the forfeiture restrictions lapse.  GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS GRANTEE’S
SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, AND NOT THE COMPANY’S, TO FILE A TIMELY ELECTION UNDER
SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF GRANTEE REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO
MAKE THIS FILING ON HIS OR HER BEHALF.  This filing should be made by registered
or certified mail, return receipt requested, and Grantee must retain two
(2) copies of the completed form for filing with Grantee’s State and Federal tax
returns for the current tax year and additional copy for Grantee’s personal
records.

 

(d)                                 Irrevocable Proxy.  At the time of the
Notice of Exercise, if the Grantee has not then executed an Irrevocable Proxy,
the Grantee is also required to execute an Irrevocable Proxy.

 

(e)                                  Issuance of Shares; Stockholders’
Agreement; Restrictions on Shares.  After receiving a properly completed and
executed Notice of Exercise and payment for the full amount of the Exercise
Price as required by Section 3(a) and, if applicable, an executed Joinder
Agreement as required by Section 3(c), and an Irrevocable Proxy as required by
Section 3(d), the Company shall cause to be issued a certificate or certificates
for the Incentive Shares, registered in the name of the Grantee (or in the names
of such person and his or her spouse as community property or as joint tenants
with right of survivorship), provided that as a condition to the issuance of
Incentive Shares hereunder, the Grantee shall make, as of the time of issuance
of such Incentive Shares, representations and warranties in a form satisfactory
to the Company and substantially similar to those contained in Exhibit B.  In
connection with any exercise of the Option, the Person exercising the Option
shall deliver to the Company a duly executed blank share power in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit C.  Incentive Shares received upon the exercise of
the Option shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the
Stockholders’ Agreement, including all transfer restrictions and repurchase
rights set forth therein.  The certificates for Incentive Shares may include any
legend that the Board deems appropriate to reflect any conditions and
restrictions applicable to such Incentive Shares.

 

SECTION 4.                         SECURITIES LAW ISSUES, TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

 

(a)                                 Grantee Acknowledgements and
Representations.  The Grantee understands and agrees that:  (x) neither the
Option nor the Incentive Shares have been registered under the Securities Act,
(y) the Option and the Incentive Shares are restricted securities under the
Securities Act and (z) neither the Option nor the Incentive Shares may be resold
or transferred unless they are first registered under the Securities Act or
unless an exemption from such registration is available.  The Grantee hereby
makes the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit B hereto.

 

(b)                                 No Registration Rights.  The Company may,
but shall not be obligated to, register or qualify the issuance of Incentive
Shares to the Grantee, or the resale of any such Incentive Shares by the Grantee
under the Securities Act or any other applicable law.

 

5

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

 

(c)                                  Transfers.  Unless otherwise determined by
the Board, in its sole discretion, the Grantee shall not be permitted to
transfer or assign the Option except in the event of death or in accordance with
Section 14.5 of the Plan.  The Grantee understands that the Stockholders’
Agreement contains significant restrictions on the transfer of the Incentive
Shares.  The Grantee acknowledges that the transfer restrictions contained in
this Agreement are reasonable and in the best interests of the Company.

 

SECTION 5.                         TERM OF GRANT; EXPIRATION OF VESTED PORTION
AND UNVESTED PORTION

 

(a)                                 Term of Grant.  The Option granted pursuant
to this Agreement shall expire, terminate and be cancelled 10 years from the
Grant Date (such date, the “Expiration Date”), unless such Option has expired,
terminated and been cancelled earlier as set forth herein.

 

(b)                                 Expiration of Vested Portion Following
Termination.  Upon the Grantee’s Service ceasing (a “Terminated Grantee” and,
the date of such termination, the “Termination Date”) for any reason and subject
to the Terminated Grantee’s continued compliance with any Restrictive Covenants,
the following shall apply:

 

(i)                                     if the Terminated Grantee’s Service is
terminated for any reason other than the Terminated Grantee’s death, Permanent
Disability or Cause, the Terminated Grantee or his or her Permitted Transferees
shall have 60 days from the Termination Date to exercise the Vested Portion
(otherwise such Vested Portion, as of the end of such 60-day period, shall be
cancelled, terminated and forfeited in all respects), but in no event later than
the Expiration Date;

 

(ii)                                  if the Terminated Grantee’s Service is
terminated for Cause, the Vested Portion of the Option as of the Termination
Date shall be cancelled, terminated and forfeited in all respects as of the
Termination Date;

 

(iii)                               if the termination of the Terminated
Grantee’s Service is due to the Terminated Grantee’s death, the Terminated
Grantee or his or her legal representative or Permitted Transferees shall have
one year from the Termination Date to exercise the Vested Portion (otherwise
such Vested Portion, as of the end of such one-year period, shall be cancelled,
terminated and forfeited in all respects); and

 

(iv)                              if the termination of the Terminated Grantee’s
Service is due to the Terminated Grantee’s Permanent Disability, the Terminated
Grantee or his or her legal representative or Permitted Transferees shall have
180 days from the Termination Date to exercise the Vested Portion (otherwise
such Vested Portion, as of the end of such 180-day period, shall be cancelled,
terminated and forfeited in all respects), but in no event later than the
Expiration Date.

 

(c)                                  Expiration of Unvested Portion Following
Termination.  Any Unvested Portion as of the Termination Date shall expire and
terminate in all respects as of such date, and shall be forfeited by the Grantee
or his or her Permitted Transferees.  For the avoidance of doubt, no Carry Back
shall cause any further Performance Awards to vest following the Termination
Date.

 

6

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

 

SECTION 6.                         CALL RIGHT UPON TERMINATION OF SERVICE

 

Upon the termination of the Grantee’s Service, the Company, or any Avista
Investors designated thereby, shall have the right to exercise the Call Right
following such termination for any reason, in each case, pursuant to the terms
and conditions set forth in the Stockholders’ Agreement.

 

SECTION 7.                         ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES

 

In the event of a recapitalization or another event set forth in Section 12 of
the Plan, the terms of the Option (including, without limitation, the number and
kind and Exercise Price of Shares subject to this Agreement) shall be adjusted
as set forth in the Plan; it being understood, that the foregoing is not in
limitation of the terms set forth in Section 2(b) and 2(c) above.

 

SECTION 8.                         MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

 

(a)                                 No Retention Rights.  Nothing in this
Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon the Grantee any right to continue in
Service or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the
Company or any Subsidiary, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by the
Company and each of its Subsidiaries, to terminate the Grantee’s Service at any
time and for any reason, with or without Cause.

Agreement.

provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that
would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State
of Delaware.  All claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that
may be based

EXHIBIT B

 

Investment Representations and Warranties

 

The Grantee hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:

 

1.                                      The Option and Incentive Shares received
by him or her will be held by him or her for investment only for his or her own
account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the sale or
distribution of any part thereof in violation of applicable U.S. federal or
state or foreign securities laws.  The Grantee has no current intention of
selling, granting participation in or otherwise distributing the Option or
Incentive Shares in violation of applicable U.S. federal or state or foreign
securities laws.  The Grantee does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement
or arrangement with any person or entity to sell, transfer or grant
participation to such person or entity, or to any third person or entity, with
respect to any of the Option or Incentive Shares, in each case, in violation of
applicable U.S. federal or state or foreign securities laws.

 

2.                                      The Grantee understands that the
issuance of the Option and Incentive Shares has not been registered under the
Securities Act or any applicable U.S. state or foreign securities laws, and that
the Option and Incentive Shares are being issued in reliance on an exemption
from registration, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona
fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Grantee’s
representations as expressed herein.

 

3.                                      The Grantee has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of his or her owning the Option and Incentive Shares.  The
Grantee is a sophisticated investor, has relied upon independent investigations
made by the Grantee and, to the extent believed by the Grantee to be
appropriate, the Grantee’s representatives, including the Grantee’s own
professional, tax and other advisors, and is making an independent decision to
invest in the Option and Incentive Shares.  The Grantee has been furnished with
such documents, materials and information that the Grantee deems necessary or
appropriate for evaluating an investment in the Company, and the Grantee has
read carefully such documents, materials and information and understands and has
evaluated the types of risks involved with holding the Option and Incentive
Shares.  The Grantee has not relied upon any representations or other
information (whether oral or written) from the Company or its stockholders,
directors, officers or affiliates, or from any other person or entity, in
connection with his or her investment in the Option and Incentive Shares.  The
Grantee acknowledges that the Company has not given any assurances with respect
to the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the Option and
Incentive Shares.

 

4.                                      The Grantee has had, prior to his or her
being granted the Option and Incentive Shares, the opportunity to ask questions
of, and receive answers from, the Company concerning the terms and conditions of
the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and the Grantee’s holding of the
Option and Incentive Shares and to obtain additional information necessary to
verify the accuracy of any information furnished to him or her

 

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

 

or to which he or she had access.  The Grantee confirms that he or she has
satisfied himself or herself with respect to any of the foregoing matters.

 

5.                                      The Grantee acknowledges that he or she
has had the opportunity to seek legal advice and all documents, materials and
information that he or she has requested or read relating to holding the Option
or Incentive Shares and confirms that he or she has satisfied himself or herself
with respect to any of the foregoing matters.

 

6.                                      The Grantee understands that no U.S.
federal or state or foreign agency has passed upon the Option or Incentive
Shares or upon the Company, or upon the accuracy, validity or completeness of
any documentation provided to the Grantee in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Agreement, nor has any such agency made any finding or
determination as to holding the Option or Incentive Shares.

 

7.                                      The Grantee understands that there are
substantial restrictions on the transferability of the Option and Incentive
Shares and that on the date of the Agreement and for an indefinite period
thereafter there will be no public market for the Option or Incentive Shares
and, accordingly, it may not be possible for the Grantee to liquidate his or her
investment in case of emergency, if at all.  In addition, the Grantee
understands that the Agreement and Stockholders’ Agreement contain substantial
restrictions on the transferability of the Option and Incentive Shares and
provide that, in the event that the conditions relating to the transfer of the
Option or any Incentive Shares in such document has not been satisfied, the
holder shall not transfer the Option or any such Incentive Shares, and unless
otherwise specified the Company will not recognize the transfer of the Option or
any such Incentive Shares on its books and records or issue any share
certificates representing the Option or any such Incentive Shares, and any
purported transfer not in accordance with the terms of the Agreement or the
Stockholders’ Agreement shall be void.  As such, Grantee understands that: a
restrictive legend or legends in a form to be set forth in the Agreement and the
Stockholders’ Agreement will be placed on the certificates representing the
Option and Incentive Shares; a notation will be made in the appropriate records
of the Company indicating that each of the Option and Incentive Shares are
subject to restrictions on transfer and, if the Company should at some time in
the future engage the services of a securities transfer agent, appropriate
stop-transfer instructions will be issued to such transfer agent with respect to
the Option and Incentive Shares; and the Grantee will sell, transfer or
otherwise dispose of the Option or Incentive Shares only in a manner consistent
with its representations set forth herein and then only in accordance with the
Agreement and the Stockholders’ Agreement.

 

8.                                      The Grantee understands that (i) neither
the Option nor the Incentive Shares may be sold, transferred or otherwise
disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption
therefrom, (ii) the Option and Incentive Shares have not been registered under
the Securities Act; (iii) the Option and Incentive Shares must be held
indefinitely and he or she must continue to bear the economic risk of holding
the Option and Incentive Shares unless such Option and Incentive Shares are
subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such
registration is available; (iv) the Grantee is prepared to bear the economic
risk of holding the Option and Incentive Shares for an indefinite period of
time; (v) it is not anticipated that there will be any public market for

 

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

 

the Option or Incentive Shares; (vi) the Option and Incentive Shares are
characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws;
and (vii) the Option and Incentive Shares may not be sold, transferred or
otherwise disposed of except in compliance with federal, state and local law.

 

9.                                      The Grantee understands that an
investment in the Option or Incentive Shares is not recommended for investors
who have any need for a current return on this investment or who cannot bear the
risk of losing their entire investment.  In that regard, the Grantee understands
that his or her holding the Option and Incentive Shares involves a high degree
of risk of loss.  The Grantee acknowledges that: (i) he or she has adequate
means of providing for his or her current needs and possible personal
contingencies and has no need for liquidity in this investment; (ii) his or her
commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not
disproportionate to his or her net worth; and (iii) his or her holding the
Option and Incentive Shares will not cause his or her overall financial
commitments to become excessive.

 

10.                               The Grantee has completed and signed the
Accredited Investor Certificate attached hereto as Schedule 1.

IRREVOCABLE PROXY

 

I, [Name], do hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint the Chief Executive
Officer of Armored Auto Group Parent Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings” or

Preferred Stock is entitled to vote at any time, and (iii) any and all
additional equity interests in the Company in which I may at any time have an
interest (the “Stock”) of Holdings, represented by certificate number [    ] (or
any other certificate(s) issued in replacement or in lieu thereof) at any
meeting of the stockholders (whether annual, regular or special meetings and
whether or not an adjourned meeting) of Holdings, or any express written consent
or dissent in any action taken in lieu of such a meeting and to exercise, do or
perform any act, right, power, duty, or obligation that I now have or may
acquire the legal right, power or capacity to exercise, do, or perform in
connection with, arising out of, or relating to the exercise of voting the
Stock.

including, but not limited to, the removal and replacement of managers and
officers, or the liquidation, dissolution, merger or sale of Holdings or any of

Notwithstanding the foregoing, my proxy shall not be used to take any action
that would intentionally expose me to personal liability, including, but not
limited to, liability for withholding taxes, sales taxes, franchise taxes and/or
other debts and expenses of the Company or expose me to investigation or
prosecution, nor will it prevent me from receiving notice or other information
that I am entitled to receive under the Stockholder Agreement, the Amended and
Restated Charter of Holdings or applicable law as a result of my ownership of
the Stock.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, my proxy shall not be used to sell the Stock

consideration of the agreements and covenants of Holdings and the parties in
connection with the transactions contemplated by the Stockholder Agreement and,
as such, is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable unless and until
the Stockholder Agreement is terminated.

Revocation of Prior Irrevocable Proxy.  This irrevocable proxy shall revoke any
other power of attorney or proxy granted by me with respect to the Stock, and I
shall not grant any subsequent powers of attorney or proxies with respect to the
Stock as long as this irrevocable proxy remains in full force and effect.

 

Durable Proxy.  This irrevocable proxy shall not terminate on my physical or
mental disability, or incapacity.

 

Ratification.  I hereby ratify and confirm all that my proxy, or his successors,
shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this irrevocable proxy and
the rights and power granted herein.

 

Effect of My Death.  My death shall not revoke or terminate this agency as to
the proxy, agent or other person who, without actual knowledge of my death, acts
in good faith under this irrevocable proxy.  Any action so taken, unless
otherwise invalid or unenforceable, shall be binding upon me and my heirs,
devisees, and personal representatives.

 

Governing Law.  THIS IRREVOCABLE PROXY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN

parties that such provision should be enforceable to the maximum extent
permissible under applicable law.  To the extent that any provision of this

considered deleted herefrom and the remainder of such provision and of this
Schedule C shall be unaffected and shall continue in full force and effect.

 

(b)                                 The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the

necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the Company and its
Affiliates and their Confidential Information and that each and every one of the
restraints is reasonable in respect to subject matter, length of time and
geographic area, and that these restraints, individually or in the aggregate,
will not prevent the Grantee from obtaining other suitable employment during the
period in which the Grantee is bound by the restraints.  The Grantee
acknowledges that each of these covenants has a unique, very substantial and
immeasurable value to the Company and its Affiliates and that the Grantee has
sufficient assets and skills to provide a livelihood while such covenants remain
