Re:                          Grant
of Restricted Share Units

 

Dear                            :

 

Protection One, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), is pleased to advise you that,
pursuant to the Company’s 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and
director compensation program, the Board has
granted to you an award of               restricted
share units (the “Restricted Units”) under the Plan, effective as of the
date hereof (the “Date of Grant”), subject to the terms and conditions
set forth herein.  Certain capitalized
terms used herein are defined in Section 10 below.  Any capitalized terms used herein and not
defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Plan.

 

1.             Issuance
of Restricted Units.  The Restricted Units
shall be awarded to you as of the Date of Grant.  Each Restricted Unit in intended to be
equivalent in value to one share of Common Stock and shall entitle you to
receive from the Company on each Vesting Date (as defined herein) one share of
Common Stock for each Restricted Unit that vest on such date.

 

2.             Vesting
of Restricted Units.

 

(a)           of
the Restricted Units shall vest and convert into shares of Common Stock on               (each
such date, a “Vesting Date”); provided, however, that any
and all unvested Restricted Units shall be immediately forfeited in the event
that you cease to serve as a                                     .

 

(b)           Notwithstanding
the foregoing or any other provision hereof to the contrary (except as provided
in this Section 2(b)), the provisions set forth in Section 7
of the Plan shall govern the vesting of the Restricted Units in the event there
is a Change of Control prior to the Restricted Units becoming fully vested; provided,
however, that for purposes of this Grant Agreement, any reference to “Western
Resources, Inc.” in Section 7 of the Plan shall be deemed to mean “Quadrangle
Group, LLC.”

 

3.             Dividends.  You shall be entitled to receive cash
payments equal to any cash dividends and other distributions paid with respect
to a corresponding number of shares of Common Stock underlying each Restricted
Unit; provided  that, if any such dividends or distributions are
paid in shares of Common Stock, you shall instead receive a number of
additional restricted share units equal to the number of shares of Common Stock
you would otherwise have received as a dividend; and provided  further
that, such additional restricted share units shall be subject to the
same provisions of this Grant Agreement (including, without

 

 

limitation, the vesting, forfeiture restrictions and
restrictions on transferability provisions) as apply to the Restricted Units
with respect to which they relate.

 

4.             Rights
as Shareholder.  Except as provided
in Section 3, you shall not have voting or any other rights as a
shareholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Units.  Upon the conversion of the Restricted Units
into shares of Common Stock, you shall obtain full voting and other rights as a
shareholder of the Company.

 

5.             Stock
Certificates.  On or after the date
the Restricted Units become nonforfeitable in accordance with Section 2
above (the “Delivery Date”), to the extent you request, you shall
receive stock certificates (the “Certificates”) evidencing the
conversion of Restricted Units into shares of Common Stock for consideration
consisting of service as a                                 .  Certificates representing the unrestricted
shares of Common Stock will be delivered to you as soon as reasonably
practicable after you request such certificates.

 

6.             Withholding
of Taxes.

 

(a)   Participant
Election.  Unless otherwise
determined by the Committee, you may elect to deliver shares of Common Stock
(or have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock deliverable upon vesting
of the Restricted Units) to satisfy, in whole or in part, the amount, if any,
the Company is required to withhold for taxes in connection with the award of
the Restricted Units or other securities pursuant to this Grant Agreement. 
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 Company, to the
extent permitted or required by law, shall have the right to deduct from any
payment of any kind otherwise due to you, an amount equal to any federal, state
or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld in connection with
the award of the Restricted Units or other securities pursuant to this Grant Agreement.

 

7.             Transferability
of Restricted Unit.  Transferability
of the Restricted Units shall be governed by the relevant provisions of the
Plan.

 

8.             Conformity
with Plan.  The Restricted Units are
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 Grant Agreement
and the Plan shall be resolved in accordance with the terms of the Plan.  By executing and returning the enclosed copy
of this Grant Agreement, you acknowledge your receipt of this Grant Agreement
and the Plan and agree to be bound by all of the terms of this Grant Agreement
and the Plan.

 

9.             Rights
of Participants.  Nothing in this
Grant Agreement shall in any way confer upon you any right to continue as a
director of, or in the performance of other services for, the Company or any
subsidiary for any period of time, or to continue your present (or any other)
rate of compensation or level of responsibility.  Nothing in this Grant Agreement shall confer

 

2

 

upon you any right to be selected again as a
Participant, and nothing in the Plan or this Grant Agreement shall provide for
any adjustment to the number of Restricted Units upon the occurrence of
subsequent events except as provided in the Plan.

this Grant Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth
below:

Attention: Patrick Ternier,
CEO

 

Re:          Waiver Letter and Amendment

Dear Mr. Ternier:

 

                Reference is
hereby made to (i) that certain Security Agreement dated August 14, 2003, by
and between Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”) and Artemis International
Solutions Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and Artemis
International Solutions Ltd., a United Kingdom corporation and wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company (as amended, modified and/or supplemented from time
to time, the “Security Agreement”) and (ii) the secured convertible minimum
borrowing note, dated as of August 14, 2003 and issued by the Company to Laurus
pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreement (as amended, modified and/or
supplemented from time to time, the “Minimum Borrowing Note”).  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein
shall have the meanings ascribed them in the Security Agreement.  Laurus is hereby notifying you of its
decision to exercise the discretion granted to it pursuant to Section 2(ii) of
the Security Agreement to make a Revolving Credit Advance to the Company in the
amount of $3,000,000 on the date hereof (the “Advance”), which such amount
would otherwise exceed the Formula Amount on the date hereof.

 

In connection with making the Advance, during the period commencing on
the date hereof and continuing through and including January 1, 2006 (the “Period”),
Laurus hereby waives compliance with Sections 3 and 5(b)(iv) of the Security
Agreement but solely as to the immediate repayment requirement of
Overadvances.  The Overadvance fee with
respect to the Advance during the Period shall be one percent (1.00%) per month
of the Advance and shall be payable monthly on the first business day of each
month during the Period and on the last day of the Period (the “Overadvance Fee”).  The Overadvance Fee is deemed fully earned on
the date hereof and not subject to rebate or proration for any reason;
provided, however, to the extent that any portion of the Advance is transferred
(the “Transferred Amount”) to, and evidenced by, a new and additional
(serialized) Minimum Borrowing Note, an Overadvance Fee shall be no longer be
required from and after the transfer of the Transferred Amount in respect of
the Transferred Amount only and the Advance shall be reduced dollar for dollar
by the Transferred Amount.  Furthermore,
to the extent that Overadvances during the Period shall exceed the Advance (as
same may be adjusted in the manner set forth in the proviso above), such excess
amounts shall also be subject to an Overadvance Fee as set forth in the
preceding sentence.  An additional fee in
the amount of $150,000 (the “Additional Overadvance Fee”) shall be paid to
Laurus in cash on the date hereof and is also deemed fully earned on the date
hereof and not subject to rebate or proration.  
Laurus further agrees that solely during the Period, the Advance shall
not be deemed an Overadvance and shall not trigger an Event of Default under
Section 19(a) of the Security Agreement.

 

It is further agreed and understood by the parties hereto that
notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the last sentence of Section
2.2 of the Minimum Borrowing Note in effect on the date hereof (the “Existing
Minimum Borrowing Note”), the Fixed Conversion Price in respect of the next
(serialized) Minimum Borrowing Note issued after the date hereof shall be equal
to the lesser of (i) $2.92 [105% of the volume weighted average closing price
for the Common Stock on the Principal Market for the five (5) trading days
immediately prior to the date hereof] and (ii) 105% of the volume weighted
average closing price for the Common Stock on the Principal Market, or on any
securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is
then being listed or traded, for the five (5) trading days immediately prior to
the $1,500,000 aggregation of such new (serialized) Minimum Borrowing Note.

 

All other terms and
provisions of the Security Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements remain in
full force and effect.   This letter may
not be amended or waived except by an instrument in writing signed by the Company
and Laurus.  This letter may be executed
in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original 

 

 

and all of which, when taken
together, shall constitute one agreement. 
Delivery of an executed signature page of this letter by facsimile
transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart
hereof or thereof, as the case may be. 
THIS LETTER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.  This
letter sets forth the entire agreement between the parties hereto as to the
matters set forth herein and supersede all prior communications, written or
oral, with respect to the matters herein. 
This agreement shall be deemed to be an Ancillary Agreement.

If the foregoing meets with
your approval please signify your acceptance of the terms hereof by signing
below.
