3. ADJUSTMENTS

     3.1. Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time subdivides
(by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a greater number of shares, then as of the record date for effecting such
subdivision the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant will be
proportionately increased and the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision
shall be proportionately decreased. If the Company at any time combines (by reverse stock split,
recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of
shares, then as of the record date for effecting such combination the number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately decreased and the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased.

     3.2. Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case of any consolidation or merger of the Company
with or into any other Person, or (a) any other corporate reorganization, in which the Company
shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation, merger or reorganization or
in connection with which the Common Stock (or other securities issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant) shall be changed into or exchanged for stock of any other entity or cash or other
property, (b) any transaction in which in excess of 50% of the Company’s voting power is
transferred to a Person not a stockholder immediately prior to the consummation of such
transaction, (c) any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or (d) a capital
reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock (or other securities issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant) that does not result in an adjustment pursuant to Section 3.1 (any such
transaction being hereinafter referred to as a “Reorganization”), then, in each case, the
Warrantholder, on exercise hereof at any time after the consummation or effective date of such
Reorganization, shall receive, in lieu of the Warrant Shares issuable on such exercise prior to the
date of such Reorganization, the stock, other securities, cash or other property to which such
holder would have been entitled upon the date of such Reorganization if such holder had exercised
this Warrant immediately prior thereto.

     3.3. Adjustment on Other Events. If the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of
this Warrant shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class(es) or
series of stock, whether by reclassification or otherwise (other than an adjustment under Section
3.1 or a merger, consolidation, or sale of assets provided for under Section 3.2), then and in each
such event, the holder hereof shall have the right thereafter to convert each Warrant Share into
the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such
reclassification, or other change by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which
such Warrant Shares would have been convertible immediately prior to such reclassification or
change, all subject to successive adjustments thereafter from time to time pursuant to and in
accordance with, the provisions of this Article III.

     3.4. Notice of Adjustment. Whenever an event necessitating an adjustment to this
Warrant pursuant to this Article III occurs, the Company shall promptly deliver written notice
thereof, by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Warrantholder in accordance with

calculation is based.

4. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF WARRANT AND WARRANT SHARES

     4.1. Restrictions on Transfer. The Warrantholder, by its acceptance of this Warrant,
agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Article IV and acknowledges and confirms that this
Warrant and any Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant have not been registered under
the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws, and may not be sold or transferred
except in compliance with and subject to the Securities Act and such state securities laws. Unless
and until this Warrant and such Warrant Shares have been registered under the Securities Act and
such state securities laws, the Company may require, as a condition to effecting any sale or
transfer of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares on the books of the Company, an opinion of counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act and such state securities laws is available for the proposed transfer or assignment.
Any purported sale or transfer of this Warrant and/or such Warrant Shares shall be null and void
unless made in compliance with the conditions set forth in this Article IV. Except as provided in
Section 4.2, (a) this Warrant and any warrant of the Company issued in exchange or replacement for
this Warrant shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the form set
forth on the cover of this Warrant, (b) each certificate for Warrant Shares issued upon the
exercise of this Warrant and each certificate issued upon the transfer of any such Warrant Shares
shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially to the same effect.

     4.2. Termination of Restrictions. The restrictions imposed by Section 4.1 upon the
transferability of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares shall terminate: (a) when and so long as
this Warrant or any such Warrant Shares shall have been effectively registered under the Securities
Act and transferred in compliance therewith; or (b) when the Company shall have received an opinion
of counsel reasonably satisfactory to it that this Warrant or such Warrant Shares may be
transferred without registration thereof under the Securities Act; provided, however, that if the
Warrant or the Warrant Shares have been held (both legally and beneficially) by the Warrantholder
for at least two (2) years and is proposed to be sold in compliance with Rule 144(k) under the
Securities Act, no such opinion of counsel shall be required if the Warrantholder is not, and
represents to the Company that is it not, an affiliate of the Company as defined in Rule 144.
Whenever the legend requirements imposed by Section 4.1 shall terminate as to this Warrant or the
Warrant Shares, the holder of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares shall be entitled to receive from
the Company, upon request, at the Company’s expense, a new warrant or a new certificate
representing the Warrant Shares, as the case may be, not bearing the restrictive legend described
in Section 4.1.

     4.3. Compliance with Securities Laws. The Warrantholder, by acceptance hereof,
represents to the Company that this Warrant and any Warrant Shares purchased upon exercise of this
Warrant are being acquired solely for the Warrantholder’s own account and not as a nominee for any
other party, and for investment, and that the Warrantholder will not offer, sell or otherwise
dispose of this Warrant or any such Warrant Shares except under circumstances that will not result
in a violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws. The Warrantholder has
such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of its investment in this Warrant and any Warrant Shares purchased on exercise
hereof and has the ability to bear the economic risks of such investment. The Warrantholder
certifies and represents to the Company that it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501
of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and, if not an individual, was not organized
for the purpose of acquiring the Warrants.

     4.4. Transfer Procedure. Subject to compliance with the other provisions of this
Article IV, transfer of this Warrant, in whole or in part, shall occur upon surrender of this
Warrant at the principal executive offices of the Company, together with a duly executed written
assignment agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Annex II and funds sufficient to
pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer and, if required, an opinion of
counsel reasonably acceptable to counsel of the Company in its professional determination
concerning the compliance of such transfer with the Securities Act and applicable state securities
laws. Upon receipt of such items, the Company shall execute and deliver a new warrant or warrants
in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denomination(s) specified in such instrument of
assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant
not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.

     4.5. Maintenance of Transfer Books. The Company agrees to maintain, at the principal
executive office of the Company, books or records for the registration and the registration of
transfer of this Warrant or any warrant of the Company issued in exchange for this Warrant.

     4.6. Registration Rights. Upon the written request of the Majority Warrantholders, the
Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, within 90 days, file a registration statement
registering the Common Stock issuable on exercise of the Warrant, and shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to remain effective until the date that is
two years from the date first written above. After the expiration of such two-year period, the

 

 

Company shall provide instructions to its transfer agents that certificates representing the
Warrant Shares shall be issued without a legend if such Warrant Shares are to be issued pursuant to
a net cashless exercise/conversion pursuant to Section 2.3(ii) hereof; provided that the
Warrantholder is not, and represents that it is not, then an “affiliate” of the Company as such
term is defined under Rule 144.

5. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF WARRANTS

its acceptance of this Warrant, agrees that it will not directly, or indirectly, offer to sell,

of the Warrant Shares; (c) reserve from its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock a
sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of
this Warrant; and (d) take all actions as may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that the

other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the
State of Delaware.

     8.8. Rights or Liabilities as Stockholder. The Warrantholder shall be deemed to have
become a holder of record of the Warrant Shares issuable under Section 2.2 only as of the date on

effective on holders of this Warrant or any warrant issued on transfer hereof. Any amendment or
waiver must be in writing to be effective.

     8.10. Notices of Record Date. Upon any establishment by the Company of a record date

     THIS
RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT is made as of this ___ day of ___, 20___, between The
Allied Defense Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“Company”), and                      (the
“Employee”).

     WHEREAS, the continued participation of the Employee is considered by the Company to be
important for the Company’s continued growth; and

     WHEREAS, in order to give the Employee an incentive to continue in the employ of the Company
and to participate in the affairs of the Company, the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors of the Company (“Committee”) has determined that the Employee shall be granted shares of
the Company’s $0.10 par value Common Stock (“Stock”), subject to the restrictions stated below, in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the 2001 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (“Plan”).

     THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

	1.  	Grant of Stock.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, the Company hereby
grants to the Employee ___ shares of Stock.

	2.  	Vesting Schedule.

Provided that the Employee has remained in the continuous employ of the Company through the
vesting dates set forth below, the following number of shares of Stock shall vest on such
dates:

	 	 	 
	

	 	                    
shares vest on                     , 20___;
	 
	 	 
	

	 	                    
shares vest on                     , 20___;
	 
	 	 
	

	 	                    
shares vest on                     , 20___; and
	 
	 	 
	

	 	                    
shares vest on                     , 20___;

For the purposes of this Agreement, employment by the Company or any subsidiary corporation
of the Company shall be considered employment by the Company.

	3.  	Restrictions.

	 	(a)  	The Stock granted hereunder may not be sold, pledged or otherwise transferred
until the Stock becomes vested in accordance with Section 2. The period of time
between the date hereof and the date Stock becomes vested is referred to herein as the
“Restriction Period.”

 

 

	 	(b)  	Except for employment terminations arising from ___, if the Employee’s
employment with the Company is terminated at any time prior to the lapse of a
Restriction Period, all unvested shares of Stock granted hereunder shall be forfeited
by the Employee, and ownership transferred back to the Company. In the event of an
employment termination arising from ___, all unvested shares of Stock granted
hereunder shall immediately vest.

4. Legend.

Any certificates representing Stock subject to the provisions of this Agreement shall have
endorsed thereon the following legend:

“The shares represented by this certificate are subject to an
agreement between the Corporation and the registered holder, a copy
of which is on file at the principal office of this Corporation.”

	5.  	Escrow.

Any certificate or certificates evidencing the Stock subject hereto shall be delivered to
and deposited with the Secretary of the Company as Escrow Agent in this transaction. The
Stock may also be held in a restricted book entry account in the name of the Employee. Such
certificates or such book entry shares are to be held by the Escrow Agent until termination
of the Restriction Period, when they shall be released by said Escrow Agent; provided,
however, that a portion of such Stock shall be surrendered in payment of required
withholding taxes in accordance with Section 7 below, unless alternative procedures for the
payment of required withholding taxes are established.

	6.  	The Employee’s Stockholder Rights.

During the Restriction Period, the Employee shall have all the rights of a stockholder with
respect to the Stock except for the right to transfer the Stock, as set forth in Section 3.
Accordingly, the Employee shall have the right to vote the Stock and to receive any cash
dividends paid to or made with respect to the Stock.

7. Taxes.

	 	(a)  	The Employee shall be liable for any and all taxes, including withholding
taxes, arising out of this grant or the vesting of Stock hereunder. The Employee shall
surrender a sufficient number of whole shares of Stock as necessary to cover all
applicable required withholding taxes and required social security contributions at the
time the restrictions on the Stock lapse, unless alternative procedures for such
payment are established. The Employee will receive a cash refund for any fraction of a
surrendered share of Stock not necessary for required withholding taxes and required
social insurance contributions. To the extent that any surrender of Stock or
alternative procedure for such payment is insufficient, the

 

 

	 	   	Employee authorizes the Company to deduct tax at source, to deduct all applicable
required withholding taxes and social security contributions from the Employee’s
compensation. The Employee agrees to pay any amounts that cannot be satisfied from
wages or other cash compensation, to the extent permitted by law.
	 
	 	(b)  	Regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income
tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding
(“Tax-Related Items”), the Employee acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability
for all Tax-Related Items legally due by him is and remains the Employee’s
responsibility and that the Company (i) make no representations nor undertakings
regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this
grant of Stock, including the grant, vesting or release, the subsequent sale of Stock
and receipt of any dividends; and (ii) does not commit to structure the terms or any
aspect of this grant of Stock to reduce or eliminate the Employee’s liability for
Tax-Related Items.

	8.	   Plan Information.

The Employee agrees to receive copies of the Plan, the Plan prospectus and other Plan
information from the Company’s web site, including copies of any annual report, proxy and
Form 10-K. The Employee acknowledges that copies of the Plan, Company’s Plan prospectus,
Plan information and stockholder information are available upon written or telephonic
request to the Company Secretary.

	9.  	   Acknowledgement and Waiver.

By accepting this grant of Stock, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the Plan
has been established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be
modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time unless otherwise
provided in the Plan; (ii) the grant of Stock is voluntary and occasional and does not
create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Stock, or benefits in lieu
of Stock, even if Stock has been granted repeatedly in the past; (iii) all decisions with
respect to future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (iv) the
Employee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with the
Company and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company to terminate the Employee’s
employment relationship at any time with or without cause; and (v) the Employee is
participating voluntarily in the Plan.

	10.  	Miscellaneous.

	 	(a)  	The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any shares of
Stock of the Company which shall have been sold or transferred in violation of any of
the provisions set forth in this Agreement, or (ii) to treat as owner of such Stock or
to accord the right to vote as such owner or to pay dividends to any transferee to whom
such Stock shall have been so transferred.

 

 

	 	(b)  	The parties agree to execute such further instruments and to take such action
as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement.
	 
	 	(c)  	Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and shall
be deemed effectively given upon delivery to the Employee at his address then on file
with the Company.
	 
	 	(d)  	The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. The Plan and this Agreement
constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter
hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the
Company and the Employee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be
modified adversely to the Employee’s interest except by means of a writing signed by
the Company and the Employee. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of
Delaware.
	 
	 	(e)  	If the Employee has received this or any other document related to the Plan
translated into a language other than English and if the translated version is
different than the English version, the English version will control.
	 
	 	(f)  	The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more
provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in
part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.
