Recitals
A. The

Safety Products, Inc. Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), which
was approved by the Company’s shareholders in January 2009.
B. The
Committee has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and
appropriate to the stated purposes of the Plan that the Company grant to the
Optionee an option to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (“Shares”)
pursuant and subject to the terms, definitions, and conditions of the
Plan.
C. Any
capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings
given them in the Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated by
reference herein in its entirety.
NOW,
THEREFORE, the Company and the Optionee do hereby agree as follows:
SECTION
1 — GRANT OF
OPTION
Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the
Optionee an option (the “Option”) to purchase all or any part of __________
Shares. The Option is subject to the terms set forth herein and in
all respects to the terms and provisions of the Plan applicable to Incentive
Stock Options. This Option is intended to be an incentive stock
option as described in Code Section 422.
SECTION
2 — OPTION
PRICE
The
option price hereunder is $_____ per Share, which price
the Company believes is currently the fair market value per
Share. Accordingly, it is not intended that the Option constitute
“deferred compensation” pursuant and subject to Code Section
409A.
SECTION
3 — DURATION OF
OPTION
Subject
to acceleration upon a Change of Control, as defined in Section 2.5 of the Plan,
and subject to such shorter period as provided herein, including Section 4 of
this Agreement (related to excise of the Option) and Section 8 of this Agreement
(related to Termination of Service), the Option shall be exercisable with
respect to Shares vested at that time as set forth on the attached Schedule A
and as set forth in Section 4, and shall otherwise remain exercisable until the
tenth anniversary of the Grant Date (which Option Period shall be reduced to the
fifth anniversary of the Grant Date if the Optionee owns or is deemed to own
more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the
Company), provided the Optionee is employed by the Company on the date such
event occurs.
SECTION 4 — EXERCISE
OF OPTION
Subject
to the restrictions set forth in Section 8, the Optionee shall exercise the
Option or it shall lapse if not so exercised, as described and in compliance
with the following terms set forth herein:
(a) Time of
Exercise. During the Option Period, the Optionee may exercise
the Option with respect to the Shares vested at any time upon compliance with
the terms specified in (b) and (c) below; provided, however, should the
Option be subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Option must be automatically
exercised by the Optionee, to the extent vested pursuant to Schedule A, 30 days after the first of
the following events to occur:
(i) Termination
of Service;
(ii) Change
of Control; or
(iii) January
1, 2013.
(b) Method of
Exercise. The Optionee shall exercise portions or all of the
vested Option by written notice, which shall:
(i) state
the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares in respect of which it
is being exercised, and the Optionee's address and Social Security
Number;
(ii) contain
such representations and agreements, if any, as the Board may require concerning
the holder's investment intent regarding such Shares;
(iii) acknowledge
and accept the restrictions on transfer of the Option Stock as required by
Section 9 of the Plan;
(iv) be
signed by the Optionee; and
(v) be
in writing and delivered in person or by certified mail to the Chairman of the
Board.
(c) Payment Upon Exercise of
Option. Payment of the full Option Price for Shares upon which
the Option is exercised plus any income and employment tax withholding (if
applicable) shall accompany the written notice of exercise described
above. Such payment may be in cash, in shares of Stock owned by the
Optionee, through a direction to the Company to retain Shares that would
otherwise be issued on exercise with a fair market value equal to the Option
Price or a combination thereof, as set forth in Section 6.8 of the
Plan. The Company shall cause to be issued and delivered to the
Optionee the certificate(s) representing such Shares as soon as practicable
following the receipt of notice and payment described above.

SECTION
5 — NONTRANSFERABILITY
OF OPTION
The
Option shall not be transferable or assignable by the Optionee except as set
forth in Section 14.14 of the Plan. The Option shall be exercisable,
during the Optionee's lifetime, only by the Optionee. The Option
shall not be pledged or hypothecated in any way, and shall not be subject to
execution, attachment or similar process. Except as set forth in
Section 14.14 of the Plan, any attempted transfer, assignment, pledge,
hypothecation or other disposition of the Option contrary to the provisions
hereof, and the levy of any process upon the Option, shall be null, void and
without effect. Such Option may be transferable by will or the laws
of descent and distribution upon the death of the Optionee.
SECTION
6 — EFFECT OF
AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION
OR TERMINATION OF EXISTING
OPTIONS
No
amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall, without the Optionee's
written consent, alter or impair the Option granted under the terms of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding to the contrary, the
Optionee agrees that the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion,
without the prior consent of the Optionee, modify or amend the terms of the
Option in any manner it deems necessary to comply with Code Section 409A,
including provisions related to the exercise of the Option; provided, however,
the Optionee acknowledges that the Company has no affirmative obligation to
exercise such discretion or to otherwise ensure that the Option complies with
Code Section 409A or is subject to any particular tax treatment.
SECTION
7 — RESTRICTIONS ON
ISSUING SHARES
Shares
shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Option, unless the issuance
and transferability of the Shares shall comply with all relevant provisions of
law, including, but not limited to, the (i) limitations, if any, imposed by
applicable state law; (ii) restrictions, if any, imposed by the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission; and (iii) requirements of any stock exchange upon which the
Stock may then be listed. The Board may, in its discretion, determine
if such restrictions or such issuance of Shares so complies with all relevant
provisions of law. Any certificate issued upon exercise of an Option
shall bear any legend that the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any
restrictions on transfer.
SECTION
8 — EXERCISE AFTER
TERMINATION OF SERVICE
After an
Optionee's Termination of Service, an Option may be exercised only with respect
to the number of Shares which the Optionee could have acquired by an exercise of
the Option immediately before the Termination of Service. Any Option
exercised under this Section may be exercised by the legal representative of the
estate of the Optionee or by the person or persons who acquire the right to
exercise such Option by bequest or inheritance. If the Committee determines in
the particular case that there was Cause for Termination of Service, the right
to exercise the Option shall immediately terminate upon Termination of
Service.

failure to substantially perform Optionee’s assigned duties, (ii) repeated gross
negligence in performing such Optionee’s duties, (iii) illegal conduct in
performing such Optionee’s duties, (iv) willful actions contrary to the
Company’s interest, (v) repeated refusal to comply with the reasonable and
