NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT

     THIS NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), dated as of May 20, 2005,
is entered into between ARMOR HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company") and SCOTT T. O'BRIEN (the "Employee").

                              W I T N E S S E T H :

     WHEREAS, the Company and the Employee desire to execute this Agreement
based on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set
forth in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto,
the Company and the Employee hereby agree as follows:


     1. NON-COMPETITION. For purposes of this Section 8, all references to the
Company shall be deemed to include all of the Company's affiliates and
subsidiaries. The Employee will not utilize his special knowledge of the
business of the Company and his relationships with customers, suppliers of the
Company and others to compete with the Company. During his employment by the
Company and for a period of one (1) year after the expiration of this Agreement
or earlier termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms (the "Restricted
Period"), the Employee shall not engage, directly or indirectly, or have an
interest, directly or indirectly, anywhere in the United States of America or
any other geographic area where the Company does business or in which its
products or services are marketed, alone or in association with others, as
principal, officer, agent, employee, director, partner or stockholder (except
with respect to his employment by the Company), or through the investment of
capital, lending of money or property, rendering of services or otherwise, in
any business competitive with or substantially similar to that engaged in by the
Company or any vendor, supplier or distributor of the Company during the term of
Employee's employment by the Company, or any line of business or acquisition
that the Company either (i) contemplates entering into, whether or not actually
entered into, or (ii) has obtained due diligence or other information on during
Employee's employment with the Company (it being understood hereby, that the
ownership by the Employee of 5% or less of the stock of any company listed on a
national securities exchange shall not be deemed a violation of this Section 8).
During the Restricted Period and for one year thereafter, the Employee shall
not, nor shall he permit any of his employees, agents or others under his
control to, directly or indirectly, on behalf of himself or any other person,
(i) call upon, accept business from, or solicit the business of any person who
is, or who had been at any time during the




preceding two (2) years a customer of the Company or any successor to the
business of the Company, or otherwise divert or attempt to divert any business
from the Company or any such successor, or (ii) directly or indirectly recruit
or otherwise solicit or induce any person who is an employee of, or otherwise
engaged by, the Company or any successor to the business of the Company to
terminate his or her employment or other relationship with the Company or such
successor, or hire any person who has left the employ of the Company or any such
successor during the preceding two (2) years. Employee further agrees that if
any such customer contacts Employee during the Restricted Period in respect of
doing business with Employee, Employee will advise such customer of the
restrictions on his ability to do business with such customer contained herein.
The Employee shall not at any time, directly or indirectly, use or purport to
authorize any person to use any name, mark, logo, trade dress or other
identifying words or images which are the same as or similar to those used at
any time by the Company in connection with any product or service, whether or
not such use would be in a business competitive with that of the Company. Any
breach or violation by the Employee of the provisions of this Section 8 shall
toll the running of any time periods set forth in this Section 8 for the
duration of any such breach or violation.

     2. REMEDIES. The restrictions set forth in Section 1 are considered by the
parties to be fair and reasonable. The Employee acknowledges that the
restrictions contained in Section 1 will not prevent him from earning a
livelihood. The Employee further acknowledges that the Company would be
irreparably harmed and that monetary damages would not provide an adequate
remedy in the event of a breach of the provisions of Section 1. Accordingly, the
Employee agrees that, in addition to any other remedies available to the
Company, the Company (i) shall be entitled to specific performance, injunction,
and other equitable relief to secure the enforcement of such provisions, (ii)
shall not be required to post bond in connection with seeking any such equitable
remedies, and (iii) shall be entitled to receive reimbursement from the Employee
for all attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by the Company in enforcing such
provisions. If any provisions of Section 1 or 2 relating to the time period,
scope of activities or geographic area of restrictions is declared by a court of
competent jurisdiction to exceed the maximum permissible time period, scope of
activities or geographic area, the maximum time period, scope of activities or
geographic area, as the case may be, shall be reduced to the maximum which such
court deems enforceable. If any provisions of Section 1 or 2 other than those
described in the preceding sentence are adjudicated to be invalid or
unenforceable, the invalid or unenforceable provisions shall be deemed amended
(with respect only to the jurisdiction in which adjudication is made) in such
manner as to render them enforceable and to effectuate as nearly as possible the
original intentions and agreement of the parties.

     3. MISCELLANEOUS.

         (a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire
understanding of the parties and merges and supersedes any prior or
contemporaneous agreements between the parties pertaining to the subject matter
hereof.







         (b) Modification. This Agreement may not be modified or terminated
orally, and no modification or waiver of any of the provisions hereof shall be
binding unless in writing and signed by the party against whom the same is
sought to be enforced.

         (c) Waiver. Failure of a party to enforce one or more of the provisions
of this Agreement or to require at any time performance of any of the
obligations hereof shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provisions by
such party nor to in any way affect the validity of this Agreement or such
party's right thereafter to enforce any provision of this Agreement, nor to
preclude such party from taking any other action at any time which it would
legally be entitled to take.

         (d) Successors and Assigns. Neither party shall have the right to
assign this Agreement, or any rights or obligations hereunder, without the
written consent of the other party; provided, however, that upon the sale of all
or substantially all of the assets, business and goodwill of the Company to
another company, or upon the merger or consolidation of the Company with another
company, this Agreement shall continue to be binding on the parties hereto and
inure to the benefit of the company purchasing such assets, business and
goodwill, or surviving such merger or consolidation, as the case may be, in the
same manner and to the same extent as though such other company were the
Company; and provided, further, that the Company shall have the right to assign
this Agreement to any affiliate or subsidiary of the Company. Subject to the
foregoing, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Company and any
successor thereto, and be binding upon, the parties hereto and their legal
representatives, heirs, successors and permitted assigns.

         (e) Communications. All notices, requests, demands and other
communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to
have been given at the time personally delivered or when mailed in any United
States post office enclosed in a registered or certified postage prepaid
envelope and addressed to the addresses set forth below, or to such other
address as any party may specify by notice to the other party; provided,
however, that any notice of change of address shall be effective only upon
receipt.
