notice to Executive, upon the determination by the Board of Directors that there
is Justifiable Cause (as hereinafter defined) for such termination.
        For the purposes hereof, the term "Justifiable Cause" shall mean: (i)

secure personal profit in connection with the business of the Company or any of
its subsidiaries and affiliates, or (vi) the engaging by Executive in any
business other than the business of the Company which unreasonably interferes

                Upon termination of Executive's employment for Justifiable
Cause, this Agreement shall terminate immediately and Executive shall not be
entitled to any amounts or benefits hereunder (excluding the stock grant set
forth in Section 4 to the extent then vested, which stock grant shall be subject
to the terms of the Restricted Stock Grant Agreement) other than such portion of
Executive's annual salary, unused accrued vacation time, and reimbursement of
expenses pursuant to Section 5 hereof as have been accrued through the date of

(as defined below).
      A "Change of Control" shall mean (x) the consummation of a merger or
consolidation of the Company with or into another entity or any other corporate
reorganization (except with one or more affiliates of the Company), unless more

immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or other reorganization, or (y)
during any period of two consecutive years, persons who at the beginning of such
period constitute the Board cease for any reason to constitute at least a

the beginning of such period has been approved in advance by directors
representing at least a majority of the directors then in office who were
directors at the beginning of the period or (z) the sale, transfer or other

paid by the Company to Executive under this Subsection.

                  (ii) Without Good Reason: Upon thirty (30) days' prior written
notice to the Company, the Executive may terminate this Agreement Without Good
Reason. If Executive terminates this Agreement without Good Reason, this
Agreement shall terminate immediately and Executive shall not be entitled to any
amounts or benefits hereunder (excluding the stock grant set forth in Section 4,
which Stock Grant shall be subject to the terms of the Restricted Stock
Agreement) other than such portion of Executive's annual salary, unused accrued
vacation time, and reimbursement of expenses pursuant to Section 5 hereof as
have been accrued through the date of his termination of employment.

                  (iii) Upon the voluntary resignation of Executive in any
capacity, that resignation will be deemed to be a resignation from all offices
and positions that Executive holds with respect to the Company and any of its
subsidiaries and affiliates, and if the resignation is for Good Reason, Section
8(b)(i) shall apply, otherwise Section 8(b)(ii) shall apply.

independent physician reasonably acceptable to Executive, which physician shall
provide his/her opinion as to whether Executive is totally disabled), which
determination shall be final and binding. Upon Executive's "Total Disability",
the Company shall have the right to terminate Executive's employment.
Notwithstanding any inability to perform his duties, Executive shall be entitled
to receive his Base Salary pursuant to Section 3, his benefits pursuant to

to any judicial or administrative proceeding that resulted in a judgement,
decree, or final order (i) enjoining him from future violations of, or
prohibiting any violations of any federal or state securities law, or (ii)
finding that he violated a federal or state securities law.

            (e) Executive represents and warrants that no prior employer has

      10.   NON-COMPETITION
            ---------------

            (a) Executive agrees that during his employment by the Company and
during the one (1) year period following the termination of Executive's
employment hereunder (the "Non-Competitive Period"), Executive shall not,
directly or indirectly, as owner, partner, joint venturer, stockholder,
employee, broker, agent, principal, trustee, corporate officer, director,
licensor, or in any capacity whatsoever, engage in, become financially
interested in, be employed by, render any consultation or business advice with
respect to, or have any connection with any business which competes with the
Company's Business (as defined in Section 10(b)) in any geographic area in the
United States of America and Puerto Rico where, at the time of the termination
of his employment hereunder, the business of the Company or any of such
subsidiaries and affiliates was being conducted or in which the Company was
actively preparing to conduct business ; provided, however, that Executive may
own any securities of any corporation which is engaged in such business and is
publicly owned and traded but in an amount not to exceed at any one time one
percent (1%) of any class of stock or securities of such corporation. In
addition, Executive shall not, during the Non-Competitive Period, directly or
indirectly, (i) request or cause any suppliers or customers with whom the
Company or any of its subsidiaries and affiliates has a business relationship to
cancel or terminate any such business

                                       7
<PAGE>

relationship with the Company or any of its subsidiaries and affiliates (ii)
solicit, hire, purchase from, sell to, rent from, or otherwise conduct business

or affiliate during the term of this Agreement or (iii) solicit, hire, interfere
with or entice from the Company any person who is employed by the Company or was
employed by the Company during the Term.

            (b) If any portion of the restrictions set forth in this Section 10
should, for any reason whatsoever, be declared invalid by a court of competent
jurisdiction, the validity or enforceability of the remainder of such
restrictions shall not thereby be adversely affected. For the purposes of this
Section 10, "Company's Business" means a business which provides outsource loss
prevention solutions and/or security equipment sales, installation and/or
central monitoring.

            (c) Executive acknowledges that the Company conducts business
throughout the United States and Puerto Rico, that its sales and marketing
prospects are for continued expansion throughout the United States and
therefore, the territorial and time limitations set forth in this Section 10 may
be reasonable and properly required for the adequate protection of the business
of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates. In the event any such
territorial or time limitation is deemed to be unreasonable by a court of
competent jurisdiction, Executive agrees to the reduction of the territorial or
time limitation to the area or period which such court shall deem reasonable.

affiliates, solely or jointly with others, in or relating to any activities of
the Company or its subsidiaries and affiliates known to him as a consequence of

                        Restricted Stock Grant Agreement

           This Agreement, dated this ____ day of ______________ between LP
Innovations, Inc. (the "Company") and _______________ (the "Participant").

           WHEREAS, the Company has adopted and maintains the LP Innovations,
Inc. 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") to encourage and enable the
officers, employees and directors of the Company and its Affiliates, upon whose
judgment, initiative and efforts the Company largely depends for the successful
conduct of its business, to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company;

           WHEREAS, the Plan provides that a committee (the "Committee") of the
Company's Board of Directors (which may be the entire Board of Directors) shall
administer the Plan; and

           WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that the purposes of the Plan
would be advanced by granting an award to the Participant as set forth below;

           NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

           1.     Grant of Restricted Stock. Pursuant to, and subject to, the
restrictions, terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan, the Company
will grant to the Participant (the "Grant") __________ shares of the common
stock of the Company, par value $.01 per share ("Restricted Stock").

           2.     The Grant shall be subject to and contingent on:

           A.     consummation of the distribution (the "Distribution") of
           shares of the Company's common stock to the holders of common stock
           of Casual Male Retail Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and

           B.     the Participant's continuing to be employed by or otherwise in
           the service of the Company as of the Grant Date.

           3.     Consent of Spouse. If the Participant is married, the
Participant agrees to deliver to the Company the Consent of Spouse, attached
hereto as Exhibit A, prior to the Grant Date.

           4.     Grant Date. The Grant Date of the Grant shall be the date of
the Distribution.

           5.     Incorporation of Plan. All terms, conditions and restrictions
of the Plan are incorporated herein and made part hereof as if stated herein. If
there is any conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and this
Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan, as interpreted by the
Committee, shall govern. Except as otherwise provided herein, all capitalized
terms used herein shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Plan.

           6.     Vesting. The Grant shall vest with respect to (i) a number of
whole shares as close as possible to 33 1/3% of the Grant, on the Grant Date;
(ii) a number of whole shares as close

<PAGE>

as possible to 33 1/3% of the Grant, on the first one-year anniversary of the
Distribution; and (iii) the remaining shares subject to the Grant, on the second
one-year anniversary of the Distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event of a Change of Control, all unvested shares of Restricted Stock that had
not theretofore been forfeited will become fully vested.

           7.     Restrictions on Transferability.

           (a)    Forfeiture of Unvested Shares. Until a share of Restricted
Stock vests, the Participant shall not transfer the Participant's rights to such
share of Restricted Stock or to any rights related thereto. Any attempt to
transfer such unvested shares or any rights related thereto, whether by
transfer, pledge, hypothecation or otherwise and whether voluntary or
involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, shall not vest the transferee
with any interest or right in or with respect to such shares of Restricted Stock
or such related rights, but immediately upon any such attempt, the portion of
the Grant represented by such shares of Restricted Stock and any related rights
shall be forfeited by the Participant, and the transfer shall be of no force or
effect.

           (b)    Right of First Refusal of Vested Shares. Prior to sale or
other transfer of any shares of Restricted Stock that have vested, the
Participant shall provide the Company with written notice of the proposed sale
or transfer. The Company shall have the right (but no obligation) to purchase
some or all of such shares from the Participant within ten (10) business days
after the receipt of such notice, in exchange for the Fair Market Value of such
shares on the date of such purchase by the Company. Payment shall be made in
cash or cash equivalents or by canceling indebtedness to the Company, if any,
incurred by the Participant. The Participant only may sell or transfer such
shares (i) after the end of such ten-business day period or (ii) during such
ten-business day period if the Company has given written notice that it does not
intend to exercise its right to purchase such shares.

           Termination of Employment. In the event that the Participant's
employment with the Company terminates for any reason, all shares of Restricted
Stock that have not vested as of the date of such termination, together with any
other property in respect of such shares held by the custodian pursuant to
Section 11 hereof, shall be forfeited immediately as of the date of such
termination.

           8.     Issuance of Certificates.

           (a)    Reasonably promptly after the Grant Date for any shares of
Restricted Stock that have not theretofore been forfeited, provided that the
Company has received a stock power endorsed by the Participant in blank with
respect to such shares of Restricted Stock, the Company shall issue stock
certificates, registered in the name of the Participant, evidencing such shares
of Restricted Stock. Each such certificate shall bear the following legend:

      "THE SALE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION ENCUMBRANCE OR
      OTHER DISPOSAL OF THE SECURITIES  REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE
      SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF THE LP INNOVATIONS, INC. 2002 STOCK INCENTIVE
      PLAN AND A RESTRICTED  STOCK GRANT AGREEMENT  BETWEEN LP INNOVATIONS,
      INC. AND THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THE  SECURITIES  REPRESENTED BY THIS
      CERTIFICATE.  NO  TRANSFER  OF THE  SECURITIES  REPRESENTED  BY  THIS
      CERTIFICATE  IN  CONTRAVENTION  OF SUCH PLAN AND  AGREEMENT  SHALL BE
      VALID OR  EFFECTIVE.  COPIES OF SUCH  AGREEMENT  MAY BE  OBTAINED  BY
      WRITTEN

                                        2
<PAGE>

      REQUEST  MADE BY THE  HOLDER  OF  RECORD  OF THE  CERTIFICATE  TO THE
      SECRETARY OF LP INNOVATIONS, INC."

Such legend shall not be removed from such certificates until such shares of
Restricted Stock vest.

           (b)    Each certificate issued pursuant to Section 9(a) hereof,
together with the stock powers relating to such shares of Restricted Stock,
shall be deposited by the Company with a custodian designated by the Company.
The Company may designate itself as custodian hereunder. The Company shall cause
such custodian to issue to the Participant a receipt evidencing the certificates
held by it which are registered in the name of the Participant.

           (c)    Reasonably promptly after any such shares of Restricted Stock
vest pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the Company shall cause to be issued
certificates evidencing such shares of Restricted Stock, free of the legend
provided in Section 9(a) hereof and shall cause such certificates to be
delivered to the Participant (or such Participant's legal representative,
beneficiary or heir), together with any other property in respect of such shares
held by the custodian pursuant to Section 11 hereof. The Company may require as
a condition of such delivery that the Participant remit to the Company an amount
sufficient in the opinion of the Company to satisfy any federal, state and other
governmental tax withholding requirements related to the expiration of
restrictions on the shares represented by such certificate. The Company, in its
sole discretion and upon the request of the Participant, may withhold from
delivery shares having a Fair Market Value on the vesting date equal to the
amount of tax to be withheld.

           (d)    The Participant shall not be deemed for any purpose to be, or
have rights as, a shareholder of the Company by virtue of the Grant, except to
the extent a stock certificate is issued therefor pursuant to Section 9(a)
hereof, and then only from the date such certificate is issued.

           9.     Securities Matters. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation (i) to effect the
registration pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 of any shares of Restricted
Stock to be issued hereunder or to effect similar compliance under any state
laws; or (ii) to cause to be issued or delivered any certificates evidencing
shares of Restricted Stock awarded by this Agreement unless and until the
Company is advised by its counsel that the issuance and delivery of such
certificates is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of
governmental authority and the requirements of any securities exchange on which
shares of the Company's Stock are traded. The Committee may require, as a
condition of the issuance and delivery of certificates evidencing shares of
Restricted Stock pursuant to the terms hereof, that the recipient of such shares
make appropriate covenants, agreements and representations, and that such
certificates bear appropriate legends.

           10.    Dividends, etc. Unless the Committee otherwise determines, any
securities and other property, including cash dividends, received by a
Participant with respect to a share of Restricted Stock as a result of any
dividend, stock split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination,
exchange of shares or otherwise and for which the Grant Date occurs prior to
such event but which has not vested as of the date of such event will not vest
until such share of Restricted Stock vests, and shall be promptly deposited with
the custodian designated by the Company to be held in custody in accordance with
Section 9(b) hereof as though such securities and other property were part of
such share.

right, power or remedy accruing to either party hereto upon any breach or
default of either party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power
or remedy of such party, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such
breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or
default thereafter occurring, nor shall any waiver of any single breach or

Agreement, or any waiver on the part of either party of any provisions or

undertakings with respect to the subject matter hereof other than those

Plan, supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties

           15.    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, without regard to the provisions governing conflict of laws.

to the contrary, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of,
and be binding upon, the Company and its successors and assigns and be binding
upon the Participant and the Participant's legal representatives, heirs,

writing to join herein and to be bound by the terms, conditions and restrictions
hereof.

           17.    No Retention Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer

such election within 10 days of filing notice of the election with the Internal
Revenue Service and shall within the same 10-day period remit to the Company an
amount sufficient in the opinion of the Company to satisfy any federal, state
and other governmental tax withholding requirements related to such inclusion in
Participant's income. The Participant should consult with his or her tax advisor
to determine the tax consequences of acquiring the Restricted Stock and the
advantages and disadvantages of filing the Section 83(b) election. The
Participant acknowledges that it is his or her sole responsibility, and not the
Company's, to file a timely election under Section 83(b), even if the
Participant requests the Company or its representatives to make this filing on
his or her behalf.

           19.    Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of Participant and the Company, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, hereby irrevocably waives all
right to trial by jury as to any issue relating hereto in any action, proceeding
