in compliance with, and shall cause all Service Locations, Supplier Software, Developed Supplier Software and Supplier Hardware used to provide the Services to comply with (1) all Supplier Laws and (2) Customer’s directions with

with any Supplier Law or Customer instruction, as applicable, rises to the level of, or otherwise results in, a material breach of this Agreement, Customer Party may terminate this Agreement as of the date (including immediately) specified by
Customer Party in a termination notice to Supplier Party. To the extent any Change pursuant to this Section is a Change which (1) Supplier provides to multiple Supplier clients and (2) is Customer’s financial responsibility hereunder,
Supplier shall allocate to Customer, on an equitable and pro rata basis, the charges to implement such Changes. 
 20.03.
Interpretation of Laws If Supplier reasonably determines that performance of the Services requires an interpretation of any Customer Law, Supplier Party shall present to Customer Party the issue for resolution, and Customer Party shall
instruct Supplier Party in writing with respect to such issue. Supplier shall be authorized to act and rely on, and shall promptly implement such Customer Party instruction (which Customer Party instruction shall be implemented as a Non-Chargeable
Change, to the extent applicable, otherwise Customer shall pay for such assistance pursuant to the Change Control Procedures and the issue escalation procedures set forth in Article 5 of Exhibit 9) in the performance and
delivery of the Services. Supplier shall not be responsible for a failure to comply with Customer Laws to the extent that Supplier relies on, and complies with, such instructions in accordance with Section 20.02. The Contracting Parties

Customer Party’s request) and (ii) the remainder of the Term; provided, however, that such divested entity or business unit continues to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any divested entity or business unit of
Customer receiving Services pursuant to this Section shall be deemed a Service Recipient and, subject to Section 29.18, shall receive the same rights Customer has under this Agreement, and Customer Party shall remain the Contracting

entity or business unit, the Contracting Parties shall negotiate in good faith the terms and conditions (including scope and price) under which Supplier shall provide such transition services, and Supplier shall complete such transition services
within the applicable timeframes. Supplier shall perform such transition services as Non-Chargeable Changes, to the extent applicable, otherwise Customer shall pay for such transition services pursuant to the Change Control Procedures and the issue
escalation procedures set forth in Article 5 of Exhibit 9.

in good faith the terms and conditions (including scope and price) under which Supplier shall provide such transition services, and Supplier shall complete such transition services within the applicable timeframes. Supplier shall perform such
transition services as Non-Chargeable Changes, to the extent applicable, otherwise Customer shall pay for such transition services pursuant to the Change Control Procedures and the issue escalation procedures set forth in Article 5 of
Exhibit 9.

71Retirement Agreement

 Exhibit 10.1 

February 17, 2010 

Mr. Thomas A. Wooters 
 Dear Tom:

 This letter agreement (the “Agreement”) will confirm that we have agreed to the following terms and conditions
regarding your retirement as General Counsel, the orderly transition of certain of your duties and responsibilities and ultimately your full retirement from employment with LoJack Corporation (“LoJack” or the “Company”).

 1. Employment Status. 

(a) You shall have retired from your position as the Company’s General Counsel effective as of February 12, 2010 (“GC
Retirement Date”). On the GC Retirement Date you shall resign from your current positions as an officer of LoJack Corporation and the Company’s subsidiaries. From the GC Retirement Date through June 30, 2011 (the “Full Retirement
Date”) you shall serve as Vice President of Regulatory Strategy with the salary and benefits described below. Effective at the close of business on the Full Retirement Date, you will retire from your employment with LoJack. Commencing upon your
GC Retirement Date and continuing through your Full Retirement Date, you will be accountable to, and will also have such powers, duties and responsibilities as may from time to time be proscribed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company,
including: (i) to manage, maintain and develop FCC relationships and initiatives, including those of corresponding agencies in other countries in which we are currently doing or anticipate doing business, and to manage the full-time Company
personnel dedicated to such matters; (ii) to manage and address the Company’s regulatory issues, including those both domestically and internationally; (iii) to actively participate in and contribute to new product development and
related technology projects; and (iv) to manage and maintain the Company’s patent portfolio. In addition, you shall assist in the transition of your General Counsel responsibilities and provide such other services consistent with your
LoJack experience as the Company reasonably may request and which are consistent with the intent of this Agreement and your performance of the aforementioned duties and responsibilities. You will continue to perform and discharge your duties and
responsibilities faithfully, diligently and to the best of your ability. 
 (b) For the period beginning on the GC Retirement
Date and continuing until March 31, 2010, you shall continue on a full-time basis. On March 31, 2010, the Company shall pay you all accrued but unused vacation pay earned in 2010. Your annualized salary during such period shall be
$272,000. You shall be entitled to receive one-quarter of your annual bonus for 2010, at the current target rate of 50% of your salary during this period, to be paid in 2011, if at all, consistent with the Company’s other executive officers and
in accordance with the terms of the Company’s bonus plan. For the period set forth in this Section 1(b), you shall continue as an employee with all of your current salary and benefits. On March 31, 2010, your Change in Control
Agreement with the Company, dated January 25, 2006, shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.

 February 17, 2010 
  

 (c) Commencing April 1, 2010 and ending on June 30, 2011, you shall continue
as Vice President of the Company, on a part-time basis and on the terms set forth below. You will not be entitled to other benefits, except as specifically described below or as prescribed by law. 

(i) Base Salary: The Company shall pay you an annualized base salary of $140,000 during this period, less
withholdings as required by law or as authorized by you, which will be paid in bi-weekly installments or otherwise in accordance with LoJack’s usual pay schedule. 

(ii) Bonus: You shall not be entitled to a cash or stock bonus for the period commencing April 1, 2010 through
the Full Retirement Date. 
 (iii) Vacation: As a part-time employee, you will not accrue vacation time
during this period. 
 (iv) Benefits: During this period, you shall receive such benefits as the Company
shall make generally available from time to time to employees working less than 30 hours per week, including participation in the Company’s 401(k) Plan and Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan. The Company will continue to fund your
executive physical through your Full Retirement Date. Commencing as of April 1, 2010, you will be eligible to continue your group medical and dental benefits under COBRA and the Company will pay the employer portion of the premium for such
coverage until your Full Retirement Date and the employee portion will be paid by you. On the Full Retirement Date, your continuation of such coverage will be at your sole expense. 

(v) Equity Awards: During this period, you shall be entitled to continue to vest in any outstanding stock options
and restricted stock grants pursuant to their respective terms. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, such grants shall continue to be governed by the respective grant documents, including the stock option agreements and restricted stock
agreements, as the case may be. Your previously granted but unvested performance share awards shall vest or be forfeited in a manner, and at such time, consistent with the Compensation’s Committee treatment of such performance shares for all
other executive officers. You will not receive any additional equity grants during the term of this Agreement or upon your Full Retirement Date. 

(vi) Hours/Location: You shall provide services to the Company at a weekly rate of 20 hours per week. The Company
shall provide you an office in its corporate headquarters and consistent with the transition of your General Counsel responsibilities, you shall complete the move to such new office by March 1, 2010. You may choose to work remotely or at the
Company’s headquarters, at your option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during your employment with the Company, you will have the right to be employed simultaneously by one or more other companies and to engage freely in the other business
activities subject to (i) compliance with the provisions of Section 6 hereof and (ii) your availability prior to your Full Retirement Date to provide services to the Company at a weekly rate of 20 hours per week. During the term of
this Agreement, you shall meet at least once a month with the Chief Executive Officer and/or provide the Company with reports of the services performed by you, as requested.

 (d) All obligations hereunder shall commence on Final Acceptance (as defined in
Section 9) of this Agreement. In the event of your death or permanent disability prior to the Full Retirement Date, stock options and restricted stock shall vest as provided by the terms of the respective grant documents, and you or your
estate, as applicable, will continue to receive the payments described in this Section 1. 
 2. Term of Agreement;
Severance: 
 (a) The term of this agreement shall extend until June 30, 2011. However, you will retain the right to
terminate your employment at any time, and the Company retains a similar right as provided below. 
 (b) The Company may
terminate your employment at any time. However, if the Company terminates your employment other than for “Cause” (as defined below), the Company will, in lieu of any other payments or benefits hereunder or otherwise, pay, in a lump sum,
the remaining balance of the salary that would be earned if you remained employed with the Company for the term of this Agreement. For purposes of the preceding sentence, “Cause” shall mean fraud or breach of fiduciary duty in the
performance of your duties for, or responsibilities to, the Company; substantial and continued negligence in the performance of your duties for, or responsibilities to, the Company; willful misconduct in the performance of your duties, or your
commission of a felony or a crime involving an act of moral turpitude. 
 (c) If (x) the Company terminates your employment
for Cause, or (y) you terminate your employment for any reason prior to June 30, 2011, the Company will make no other payments hereunder or otherwise, except for all payments of base salary and benefits accrued and owing as of the date of
termination. 
 3. Full Retirement Date. 

(a) You agree to retire from your employment with the Company as of June 30, 2011 (the “Full Retirement Date”). For all
purposes under any equity compensation, retirement, welfare or deferred compensation plan or program maintained by the Company, “retirement” is the earlier of the Full Retirement Date or the termination of this Agreement. The Compensation
Committee will treat retirement under this Agreement as Retirement for purposes of the Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan and the 2008 Stock Incentive Plan. If this Agreement is terminated by the Company, other than for Cause, the portion of
such stock options that otherwise would have vested on or before the Full Retirement Date shall be accelerated and vest as of the date of such termination. 

(b) On your Full Retirement Date, you shall not be entitled to, nor receive, any additional compensation or benefits provided by the
Company. All equity awards, 401(k) plan and non-qualified deferred compensation plan contributions and matches shall be governed by the terms of the respective plans and grant documents, as the case may be.

 (c) On your Full Retirement Date, you may, at your option, purchase from the Company
your then issued cell phone and laptop computer at their book value to the Company. The Company will facilitate the transfer of your then current cell phone number to your personal account as of your Full Retirement Date. 

4. Indemnification. The Company shall continue to provide you with indemnification as provided in the Company’s By-Laws and
Articles of Organization. 
 5. Reaffirmation of Confidentiality Obligation; Return of LoJack Property. You hereby
acknowledge and reaffirm your continuing obligation of confidentiality regarding LoJack’s Confidential and Proprietary Information as set forth in the LoJack Corporation Employee Invention, Non-Competition and Confidentiality Agreement. After
your employment at LoJack, you will not at any time, without LoJack’s prior written consent, reveal or disclose to any person outside of LoJack, or use for your own benefit or for the benefit of any other person or entity, any confidential
information concerning LoJack’s business, customers, clients, or employees. Confidential information includes, without limitation, financial information, reports, forecasts, intellectual property, trade secrets, know-how, software, market or
sales information and plans, client lists, business plans, prospects and opportunities. All documents, records, materials, software, equipment, office entry cards or keys and other physical property, and all copies of the same that have come into
your possession or been produced by you in connection with your employment, have been and remain the sole property of LoJack. You agree that you shall return all such property to LoJack by your Full Retirement Date. 

6. Non-solicitation; Non-hire; Covenant Against Competition. You agree that during the term of this Agreement and for a period of
one (1) year after the Full Retirement Date or earlier termination of your employment (the “Restricted Period”) you will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, on your own behalf or on behalf of
any third person or entity, and whether through your own efforts or through the efforts of employing the assistance of any other person or entity (including without limitation any consultant or any person employed by or associated with any entity
with whom you are employed or associated): 
 (a) hire or employ any employee of LoJack, or solicit or induce any such employee
to terminate his/her employment or other relationship with LoJack. 
 (b) solicit or accept business, compensation, employment
or other position from or own any interest in (i) any former or present partners, affiliates or foreign licensees of LoJack or with Absolute Software Inc. or SC-integrity Inc.; or (ii) any person or entity engaged in any aspect of the
business of stolen vehicle tracking and recovery, the tracking, location or recovery of valuable mobile assets including safety and security vehicle telematics applications. You acknowledge that (i) the principal business of the Company (which
expressly includes for purposes of this Section 6 and any related enforcement provisions hereof, its successors and assigns) is the offering of products and services relating to stolen vehicle tracking and recovery, the tracking, location or
recovery of valuable mobile assets including safety and security vehicle telematics applications; (ii) LoJack is one of the limited number of persons who have developed such a business; (iii) LoJack’s business is national and
international in scope; (iv) your work for LoJack has given you access to the confidential affairs and proprietary information of the Company; (v) your covenants and agreements contained in this Section 6 are essential to the business
and goodwill of LoJack; and (vi) LoJack would not have entered into this Agreement but for the covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 6. Accordingly, you covenant, agree and acknowledge that (i) you have had an opportunity
to seek advice of counsel in connection with this Agreement and (ii) the restrictive covenants are reasonable in geographical and temporal scope and in all other respects. It is the express intent of the parties that (a) in case any one or
more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to duration, geographical scope, activity, or subject, such provision shall be construed by limiting and reducing it as determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction, so as to be enforceable to the fullest extent compatible with applicable law; and (b) in case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement cannot be so limited and reduced and for any reason is held
to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect the other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had
never been contained herein.

 7. Mutual Non-Disparagement. You agree not to take any action or make any
statement, written or oral, that disparages LoJack or any of LoJack’s directors, officers, employees or agents, or that has the intended or foreseeable effect of harming LoJack’s reputation or the personal or business reputation of any of
LoJack’s directors, officers, employees or agents. Similarly, LoJack agrees that its directors and officers will not take any action or make any statement, written or oral, that disparages you or that has the intended or foreseeable effect of
harming your reputation or your personal or business reputation and will not authorize any other employee to make any statement in behalf of the Company. 

8. Release. 

(a) First General Release of Claims. In exchange for the promises set forth herein, you, on behalf of yourself and your heirs,
executors, administrators and assigns, hereby release and forever discharge LoJack Corporation, its affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns, in their individual and official capacities,
from any and all suits, claims, demands, debts, sums of money, damages, interest, attorneys’ fees, expenses, actions, causes of action, judgments, accounts, promises, contracts, agreements, and any and all claims of law or in equity, whether
now known or unknown, which you now have or ever have had against them, or any of them, including, but not limited to, any claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, Massachusetts General Laws Chapters 149 and 151B and any other federal, state or local statute, regulation, ordinance or common law creating employment-related causes of action, and all
claims related to or arising out of your employment or the termination of your employment with LoJack. You also hereby waive any claim for reinstatement, attorney’s fees, or costs. Nothing in this General Release shall prevent you
from seeking to enforce your rights under this Agreement or any vested right which you have under any plans and grants referred to herein or any Company employee retirement or welfare benefit plan. You hereby represent that you have not
previously filed or joined in any complaints, charges or lawsuits against LoJack pending before any governmental agency or court of law relating to your employment and/or the cessation thereof.

benefits described in Section 1 above after the GC Retirement Date is conditional upon your signing and delivering on your Full Retirement Date a second General Release of Claims, as set forth on Exhibit A, which is substantially the
same as the provisions of Section 8(a) with such changes as may be necessary or deemed desirable by LoJack because of changes in applicable law, releasing LoJack Corporation, its affiliates and each of their directors, officers, employees,
agents, successors and assigns, in their individual and official capacities, from any and all claims that may have arisen between the date you sign this Agreement and the Full Retirement Date. Nothing in such General Release shall prevent you from
seeking to enforce your rights under this Agreement or any vested right which you have under any plans and grants referred to herein or any Company employee retirement or welfare benefit plan. 

9. Consultation with Counsel; Time for Signing; Revocation. You acknowledge that LoJack has advised you of your right to consult
with an attorney of your own choice prior to signing this Agreement. You have until twenty-one (21) days from your receipt of this Agreement to decide whether to sign it. You will have seven (7) days after signing this Agreement to revoke
your signature. If you intend to revoke your signature, you must do so in a writing addressed and delivered to me prior to the end of the 7-day revocation period. This Agreement shall not be effective, and neither LoJack nor you shall have any

 10.
Section 409A. In order to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), if you are determined to be a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Code at
the time any payment of nonqualified deferred compensation is made, and the deferral of the commencement of any payments or benefits otherwise payable hereunder as a result of your retirement is necessary in order to prevent the imposition of any
accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, the Company will defer the commencement of the payment of any such payments or benefits hereunder (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to
you) until the date that is six months following your retirement with the Company and its affiliates (or the earliest date as is permitted under Section 409A of the Code). 

Further, it is the intention of the parties that no payment or entitlement pursuant to this Agreement will give rise to any adverse tax
consequences to any person pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall be interpreted, applied and to the minimum extent necessary, amended, so that this Agreement
does not fail to meet, and is operated in accordance with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Any reference in this Agreement to Section 409A of the Code shall also include any proposed, temporary or final regulations, or any
other guidance, promulgated with respect to such Section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service.
