STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

 

THIS
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into effective as of
                                ,
2010, by and between PROTECTION ONE, INC, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
and
                
(“Optionee”).

 

1.             Grant of Option.

 

1.1          Number of Option Shares and
exercise price. The Company, desiring to provide Optionee an opportunity to
purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock, and to provide Optionee with an
added incentive to remain an employee of the Company, has awarded to Optionee,
effective as of the date of this Agreement (the “Grant Date”), pursuant to the
Company’s 2008 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), and Optionee hereby
accepts, an option to purchase            
shares of Common Stock (the “Option Shares”) at a price (the “exercise price”)
of $        per
share (the “Option”). The Option is, and is intended to be, a nonqualified
stock option, and is not intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option”
within the meaning of Section 422(b) of the Code.

 

1.2          The Plan. The
Option and this Agreement shall be governed by, and shall be subject to the
terms and conditions of, the Plan, the provisions of which are hereby
incorporated into this Agreement by this reference and a copy of which has been
separately provided to Optionee. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the respective meanings given them in the Plan.

 

1.3          Vesting/Exercisability
of Option. The Option shall become exercisable (vest) as follows: (i) options
covering one-half of the Option Shares shall become exercisable on the second
anniversary of the Grant Date, and (ii) options covering the remaining
one-half of the Option Shares shall become exercisable on the third anniversary
of the Grant Date; provided that
upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, any outstanding and unvested
portion of the Option will become vested and shall be treated in accordance
with Section 1.4 below.  Subject to
the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, shares not purchased on the
above dates shall accumulate and may be purchased at any time on or before the
Expiration Date (as defined in Section 1.5 below), subject to earlier
termination due to termination of Optionee’s employment with the Company as
provided in Section 1.6, 1.7, 1.8 or 1.9 below. Provided, however, no
option shall be exercisable and no shares shall be issued hereunder unless the
registration or qualification of such shares or other required action under any
state or Federal law, rules or regulation has been made and is effective
at the time of such issuance.

 

1.4          Cash-Out of
Options. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company shall
cancel the outstanding Option as of the time of the Change of Control and make
a payment of cash to the Optionee upon the consummation of the Change of
Control that is equal to (a) the excess (if any) of the Change of Control
Price over the exercise price per Option Share covered by the Option,
multiplied by (b) the number of Option Shares covered by the outstanding
portion of the Option. If the Change of Control Price is less than or equal to
the exercise price per Option Share covered by the Option, then the Option
shall be deemed to have 

 

 

been
paid in full and shall be canceled with no payment due in respect thereof to
the Optionee.

 

1.5          Term of Option. The Option
shall continue in effect until the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Expiration
Date’’), subject to earlier termination due to termination of Optionee’s
employment with the Company, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates (collectively, the
“Employer”) as provided in Section 1.6, 1.7, 1.8 or 1.9 below.

 

1.6          Voluntary
Termination of Employment. If prior to the Expiration Date, Optionee
voluntarily terminates employment with the Employer other than for Good Reason:
(a) all vesting with respect to the Option shall cease, (b) any
unvested portion of the Option shall expire as of the date of such termination,
and (c) any vested portion of the Option shall remain exercisable until
the earlier of the Expiration Date or three (3) months after the date of
such termination.

 

1.7          Termination
Without Cause or For Good Reason.  If
prior to the Expiration Date, Optionee’s employment is terminated pursuant to a
Qualifying Termination: (a) all vesting with respect to the Options shall
cease, except that any unvested portion of the Option shall vest upon a Change
of Control (and for avoidance of doubt, be subject to Section 1.4) if a
Change of Control occurs prior to the earlier of (x) the second
anniversary of the Grant Date or (y) 90 days after the date of such
termination (or the date of such termination, if such date is after the second
anniversary of the Grant Date), (b) any unvested portion of the Option
shall expire upon the earlier of (x) the second anniversary of the Grant
Date or (y) 90 days after the date of such termination (or the date of
such termination, if such date is after the second anniversary of the Grant
Date) and (c) any vested portion of the Option shall be and remain
exercisable until the earlier of the Expiration Date or the first anniversary
of such termination.

 

1.8          Termination of
Employment — Death, Disability or Retirement. If prior to the Expiration
Date, Optionee’s employment with the Employer terminates by reason of Optionee’s
death, Disability, or Retirement (a) all vesting with respect to the
Option shall cease, (b) any unvested portion of the Option shall
immediately expire as of the date of such termination and (c) any vested
portion of the Option shall expire on the earlier of the Expiration Date or the
first anniversary of the date of such termination.  In the event of Optionee’s death, the Option
shall remain exercisable by the person or persons to whom Optionee’s rights
under the Option pass by will or the applicable laws of descent and
distribution.

 

1.9          Termination for
Cause. If prior to the Expiration Date, Optionee’s employment with the
Employer is terminated by the Employer for Cause, the Option (including any
vested portion of the Option) shall immediately expire as of the date of such
termination.

2.             Exercise of Option.

 

2.1          Mechanics of Exercise. This Option, to the extent
vested, may be exercised by Optionee, in whole or in part, by giving written
notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of whole Option Shares
to be purchased, which notice must be accompanied by payment to the Company of
the full amount of the purchase price of such Option Shares. Payment for such
Option Shares to be acquired upon exercise of this Option shall be made, at the
election of Optionee: (i) in immediately available funds in United States
dollars, by certified or bank cashier’ s check or by wire transfer; (ii) by
surrender to the Company of outstanding shares of Common Stock already owned by
Optionee, with a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the
exercise price; (iii) by the Company withholding Option Shares with a Fair
Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price, (iv) by
a combination of (i), (ii) and (iii); or (iv) by any other means
approved by the Committee, consistent with applicable law, rules and
regulations.  Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not directly or indirectly extend
or maintain credit, or arrange for the extension of credit, in the form of a
personal loan to or for any director or executive officer of the Company in
violation of Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 402
of SOX”), and to the extent that any form of payment would, in the opinion of
the Company’s counsel, result in a violation of Section 402 of SOX, such
form of payment shall not be available.

 

2.2          Withholding Taxes.  (a) At the time the Optionee exercises
this Option, in whole or in part, or at any time thereafter as requested by the
Employer, the Optionee hereby authorizes withholding from payroll and any other
amounts payable to the Optionee, and otherwise agrees to make adequate
provision for (including by means of exercise under a Regulation T Program),
any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax
withholding obligations of the Employer, if any, which arise in connection with
the exercise of this Option.

 

(b) Upon
the Optionee’s request and subject to approval by the Employer, in its sole
discretion, and compliance with any applicable legal conditions or
restrictions, the Employer may withhold from fully vested Option Shares
otherwise issuable to the Optionee upon the exercise of this Option a number of
Option Shares having a Fair Market Value, determined by the Employer as of the
date of exercise, not to exceed the amount determined by the applicable minimum
statutory withholding rates. Notwithstanding the filing of such election,
shares of Common Stock shall be withheld solely from fully vested Option Shares
determined as of the date of exercise of this Option that are otherwise
issuable to the Optionee upon such exercise. Any adverse consequences to the
Optionee arising in connection with such share withholding procedure shall be
the Optionee’s sole responsibility.

 

(c) The
Optionee may not exercise this Option unless the tax withholding obligations of
the Employer are satisfied. Accordingly, the Optionee may not be able to
exercise this Option when desired even though this Option is vested, and the
Company shall have no obligation to issue a certificate for such Option Shares
until such tax withholding obligations are satisfied.

 

3

 

2.3          Exercise by Executor or
Administrator. If any portion of the Option remains exercisable pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement following the death of Optionee, such portion may
be exercised by the executor or administrator of Optionee’s estate or any
person who has acquired the Option directly from Optionee by bequest or
inheritance for so long as such portion remains exercisable pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement.

 

2.4          Rules and Regulations. Any
arrangements with respect to the payment of (i) the purchase price of
Option Shares and (ii) any withholding or other taxes, shall be subject to
such rules and regulations as the Committee may adopt in connection
therewith.

 

3.             Delivery of Certificates Upon
Exercise of Option. Delivery of a certificate or certificates (or a book
entry or book entries, if applicable, in the Company’s discretion) representing
the purchased Option Shares shall be made as promptly as practicable after
receipt by the Company of notice of exercise and payment in full of the
purchase price and, if required, the amount of any withholding or other taxes.

 

4.             Non-Transferability. The
Option shall not be transferable except by will or the laws of descent and
distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of Optionee only by
Optionee or his or her guardian or legal representative.

 

5.             Notices. Any notice or other
communication to be given to the Company shall be in writing and addressed to
the Company (to the attention of its General Counsel) at the Company’s
principal executive offices, and any notice or other communication to be given
to Optionee shall be in writing and addressed to him or her at the address of
Optionee then maintained by the Company. All such notices and other
communications shall be personally delivered or sent by mail. Any such notice
or other communication shall be deemed to be delivered on the date on which it
is personally delivered or, if sent by mail, on the third business day after it
is deposited in the United States mail, certified or registered, postage
prepaid, addressed to the person who is to receive it at the address of such
person as specified above. The Company or Optionee may change, at any time and
from time to time, by written notice to the other, the address that it or he or
she had therefore specified for receiving notices.

 

6.             Relation to Other Benefits.  Any economic or other benefit to you under
this Plan shall not be taken into account in determining any benefits to which
you may be entitled under any retirement or other benefit or compensation plan
maintained by the Company or any subsidiary. 
Provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, that this section shall
not be construed to affect or modify the application of Section 6 of the
Employment Agreement.

upon the occurrence of a Change of Control all of the outstanding unvested
Restricted Stock shall vest, and the Company shall make a payment of cash to

outstanding immediately prior to the Change of Control, less any withholding

4.             Risk of Forfeiture.

 

Unvested
Restricted Stock shall be subject to forfeiture due to termination of Grantee’s
employment with the Company, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (collectively, the “Employer”)
as provided below.

 

(a)           Voluntary
Termination of Employment. If Grantee voluntarily terminates employment
with the Employer other than for Good Reason: (1) all vesting with respect
to the Restricted Stock shall cease and (2) any unvested Restricted Stock
shall be forfeited by Grantee as of the date of such termination, and such
forfeited shares shall automatically, without further action, be cancelled and
shall no longer be issued and outstanding.

 

(b)           Qualifying
Termination.  If Grantee’s
termination of employment is a Qualifying Termination: (1) all vesting of
the Restricted Stock shall cease; provided that any unvested Restricted Stock
shall remain subject to the vesting upon a Change in Control and to the

vesting with respect to the Restricted Stock shall cease and (2) any

termination,

 

2

 

and
such forfeited shares shall automatically, without further action, be cancelled
and shall no longer be issued and outstanding.

 

(d)           Termination for
Cause. If Grantee’s employment with the Company is terminated by the
Company for Cause, the unvested Restricted Stock shall be forfeited by Grantee
as of the date of such termination, and such forfeited shares shall
automatically, without further action, be cancelled and shall no longer be
issued and outstanding.

 

5.             Retention of Restricted Stock.  For purposes of facilitating the enforcement
of the provisions of this Agreement, the shares of Restricted Stock may, at the
election of the Company, be held in book entry form by the Company’s transfer
agent.  If the Company elects to issue
certificate(s) representing the shares of Restricted Stock, such
certificate(s) shall be held in custody by the Company until such shares
have vested in accordance with Section 3. 
Certificate(s) representing unvested shares of Restricted Stock
shall contain a legend that indicates that such shares are restricted by and
otherwise subject to this Agreement.  The
Company may take all such actions as are necessary, including by providing
instructions that the Company deems appropriate to the transfer agent, to
insure that all transfers and/or releases are made in accordance with the terms
of the Plan and this Agreement.  The
Common Stock shall not be delivered to Grantee so long as the shares of
Restricted Stock are not vested.  Grantee
also agrees to deliver a stock power in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A
executed by Grantee in blank, to the Company (to the attention of the Secretary
of the Company, or the Secretary’s designee), to hold such Stock Power and to
take all such actions and to effectuate all such transfers and/or releases as
are required in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Grantee agrees
that the Company shall not be required to deliver a certificate for the Common
Stock until the shares of Restricted Stock become vested.

 

6.             Release of Shares.  Stock certificates representing outstanding
shares of Restricted Stock that have vested in accordance with Section 3(a) will
be delivered by the Company reasonably promptly upon request by the Grantee.

 

7.             Stop-Transfer Orders.  Grantee
agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to
herein, the Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its
transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company transfers its own securities,
it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.

 

8.             Restrictions on Transfer of
Non-Vested Shares.  Prior to vesting,
the Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan, and any right or interest of the
Grantee therein, including the right to vote such non-vested shares and to
receive dividends thereon, may not be sold, assigned, transferred, exchanged,
pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered during the Restricted Period to
or in favor of any party other than the Company or a Subsidiary, and no such
sale, assignment, transfer, exchange, pledge, hypothecation, or encumbrance,
whether made or created by voluntary act of the Grantee or of any agent of such
Grantee or by operation of law, shall be recognized by, or be binding upon, or
shall in any manner affect the rights of, the Company during the Restricted
Period.  The Company shall not be
required (i) to transfer on its books any unvested Restricted Stock that
has been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of
this Agreement, or (ii) to treat as owner of such unvested shares or to
accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any

 

3

 

purchaser
or other transferee to whom such unvested shares shall have been so
transferred. These restrictions shall not apply to the Vested Portion of the
Grantee’s Restricted Stock.

 

9.             Rights of Grantee During
Restricted Period.  Except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Plan, or in any applicable
shareholder agreement, the Grantee shall, during the Restricted Period, have
all of the other rights of a stockholder with respect to outstanding shares of
unvested Restricted Stock awarded to the Grantee including, but not limited to,
the right to receive such cash dividends, if any, as may be declared on such
shares from time to time, and the right to vote (in person or by proxy) such
shares at any meeting of stockholders of the Company.  Any stock dividends declared with respect to
unvested Restricted Stock shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as
the unvested Restricted Stock with respect to which such stock dividends are
issued.

 

10.           Withholding of Taxes.

 

(a)           Participant
Election.  Grantee may elect in a
writing delivered to the Employer prior to the applicable Vesting Date to have
the Company withhold shares of Common Stock deliverable upon vesting of the
Restricted Stock to satisfy, in whole or in part, the amount, if any, the
Employer is required to withhold for taxes in connection with the award of the
Restricted Stock or other securities pursuant to this Agreement; provided,
however, the amount of shares of Common Stock shall have a Fair Market Value as
of the applicable Vesting Date not to exceed the amount determined by the
Company to be the applicable minimum statutory withholding rates.  Such election must be made on or before the
date the amount of tax to be withheld is determined.  Once made, the election shall be
irrevocable.  The fair market value of
the shares to be withheld or delivered will be the Fair Market Value as of the
date the amount of tax to be withheld is determined.

 

(b)           Company
Requirement.  The Employer, to the
extent permitted or required by law, shall have the right to deduct from any
payment of any kind otherwise due to Grantee (including shares of Common Stock
deliverable upon vesting of the Restricted Stock), an amount equal to any
federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld in
connection with the award or the vesting thereof of the Restricted Stock or
other securities pursuant to this Agreement not to exceed the amount determined
by the Company to be the applicable minimum statutory withholding rates.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, the Employer will deduct from any cash payment made pursuant to
Section 3(b) of this Agreement, an amount equal to any federal, state
or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld in connection with
the cash payment not to exceed the amount determined by the Company to be the
applicable minimum statutory withholding rates.

 

11.           Stock Power.  By election or otherwise, should the Company
withhold any of Grantee’s Restricted Stock to satisfy the Grantee’s withholding
tax obligation pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement, the Grantee does
hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint the Company as Grantee’s
Attorney-in-Fact to effectuate such transfer and record the same on the books
and records of the Company.

 

12.           Rights
of Participants.  Nothing in this
Agreement shall in any way confer upon

 

 

Grantee any right to continue as an employee of, or
in the performance of other services for, the Employer for any period of time,
or to continue Grantee’s present (or any other) rate of compensation or level
of responsibility.  Nothing in this
Agreement shall confer upon Grantee any right to be selected again as a
Participant.

 

13.          Conformity with Plan.  The Restricted Stock is intended to conform
in all respects with, and are subject to all applicable provisions of, the Plan
(which is incorporated herein by reference). 
Inconsistencies between this Agreement and the Plan shall be resolved in
accordance with the terms of the Plan.  By executing and returning the enclosed copy
of this Agreement, Grantee acknowledge Grantee’s receipt of this Agreement and
the Plan and agree to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement and the
Plan.

 

14.           Amendment or Substitution of
Restricted Stock.  The terms of the
Restricted Stock may be amended from time to time by the Committee in its
discretion in any manner that it deems appropriate; provided  that,
no such amendment shall adversely affect in a material manner any of Grantee’s
rights under the Agreement without Grantee’s written consent.

 

15.           Successors.  This Agreement shall be binding upon any
successor of the Company, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and
the Plan.

 

16.           Severability.  Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement
shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited
by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to
the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the
remainder of this Agreement.

 

17.           Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed simultaneously
in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but
all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

 

18.           Descriptive
Headings.  The descriptive headings
of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a
part of this Agreement.

 

19.           Governing
Law. THE VALIDITY, CONSTRUCTION, INTERPRETATION, ADMINISTRATION AND EFFECT
OF THE PLAN, AND OF ITS RULES AND REGULATIONS, AND RIGHTS RELATING TO THE PLAN
AND TO THIS AGREEMENT, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS, BUT NOT THE
CHOICE OF LAW RULES, OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE.

 

20.           Notices.  All notices, demands or other communications
to be given or delivered under or by reason of the provisions of this Agreement
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when (i) delivered
personally, (ii) mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt
requested and postage prepaid, (iii) sent by facsimile or (iv) sent

the
attention of such other person as the recipient party has specified by prior
written notice to the sending party.

 

21.           Entire
Agreement.  This Agreement and the
terms of the Plan constitute the entire understanding between Grantee and the
Company, and supersede all other agreements, whether written or oral, with
respect to Grantee’s grant of the Restricted Stock.

 

22.           Relation to Other Benefits.  Any economic or other benefit to Grantee
under this Plan shall not be taken into account in determining any benefits to
which Grantee may be entitled under any retirement or other benefit or
compensation plan maintained by the Company or any other Employer.  Provided, however, for the avoidance of
doubt, that this section  shall not be
