This Lock Up and Consent Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated as of December 18, 2006, is entered into and made by and among Protection One Alarm Monitoring, Inc. (“POAMI”), Integrated Alarm Services Group, Inc. (“IASG”) and each of the undersigned holders (each, a “Consenting Holder” and, together, the “Consenting Holders”) of the Old Notes (as defined below).

WHEREAS, IASG has issued $125,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 12% Senior Secured Notes due 2011 (the “Old Notes”), pursuant to an Indenture (the “Old Note Indenture”), dated as of November 16, 2004, by and among IASG, the guarantors named therein and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”);

WHEREAS, IASG, POAMI and Protection One, Inc. (“POI”) are contemplating a merger transaction (the “Merger”) pursuant to which IASG would be merged with and into a new subsidiary of POI or POAMI;

WHEREAS, POAMI, IASG and the Consenting Holders are contemplating an offer to exchange the Old Notes for a new series of 12% Senior Secured Notes due 2011 of POAMI (the “New Notes”) (such offer to be known herein as the “Exchange Offer”);

WHEREAS, as part of the Exchange Offer, IASG will solicit consents to the terms of the Old Notes set forth in the Old Note Indenture to remove many of the restrictive covenants and events of default contained therein, among other modifications (the “Amendments”) and obtain the waiver of the holders of the Old Notes with respect to any existing defaults under the Old Notes and all related documents (the “Waiver,” and together with the Amendments, the “Consent Solicitation”);

WHEREAS, POAMI and the Consenting Holders have engaged in good faith negotiations with the objective of reaching an agreement with regard to the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, the material terms of which are set forth on the term sheet annexed hereto as Exhibit A (the “Term Sheet”);

WHEREAS, to implement the transactions contemplated by the Term Sheet, POAMI and IASG intend to prepare and deliver an Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement (the “Offering Memorandum”) with respect to the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation;

WHEREAS, each Consenting Holder is the beneficial owner and/or the investment adviser or manager for the beneficial owner (with the power to vote and dispose on behalf of such beneficial owner) of the aggregate principal amount of Old Notes (for each such party, the “Relevant Ownership”), in each case as set forth below each such Consenting Holder’s signature attached hereto;

WHEREAS, in connection with the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, each Consenting Holder intends to exchange its Old Notes for New Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer and consent to the Amendments and Waiver pursuant to the Consent




Solicitation, and POAMI and IASG desire to obtain the agreement of the Consenting Holders to participate in the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, POAMI, IASG and the Consenting Holders agree as follows:

Section 1.               Voting.  Each Consenting Holder represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, it is the legal owner, beneficial owner and/or the investment adviser or manager for the beneficial owner (with the power to vote and dispose on behalf of such beneficial owner) of such legal or beneficial owner’s Relevant Ownership and that there are no Old Notes of which it is the legal owner, beneficial owner and/or investment advisor or manager for such legal or beneficial owner which are not part of its Relevant Ownership.  Subject to the consummation of the Merger pursuant to terms and conditions that are substantially similar to that certain draft Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 18, 2006, each Consenting Holder agrees for itself that it shall, in connection with the (i) Exchange Offer, tender its Old Notes in exchange for the New Notes, and (ii) Consent Solicitation, timely vote its Relevant Ownership and any other claims or interests that it holds to consent to the Amendments and the Waiver, subject, in each case, to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer, New Notes and Consent Solicitation being consistent with the Term Sheet in all respects.

Section 2.               Transmittal.  Each Consenting Holder agrees that it shall deliver to the depositary for the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, no later than the fifth (5th) business day following the commencement of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, the form of consent and letter of transmittal to be provided by POAMI in connection with the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation together with any and all certificates representing the Old Notes owned by it.  Each Consenting Holder hereby agrees that POAMI has the right to publish and disclose in the Offering Memorandum to be delivered to holders of the Old Notes and any press releases issued in connection with the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation the identity of such Consenting Holder and the nature of its agreements, commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement.

Section 3.               Restrictions on Transfer.  Each of the Consenting Holders hereby agrees that, for so long as this Agreement shall remain in effect, it shall not sell, transfer or assign all or any of its Relevant Ownerships or any option thereon or any right, interest (voting or otherwise) therein, unless the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement by executing a counterpart signature page to this Agreement and the transferor promptly provides POAMI with a copy thereof.  Each of the Consenting Holders further agrees that it will not grant any proxies or powers of attorney with respect to the Old Notes, other than to the holder of record with respect to the matters contemplated hereby, deposit any Old Notes into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement with respect to any Old Notes.

Section 4.               Further Acquisition of Old Notes.  This Agreement shall in no way be construed to preclude the Consenting Holders or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates from acquiring additional Old Notes.  However, any such additional Old Notes acquired by a Consenting Holder or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates shall

2




automatically be deemed to be Relevant Ownerships and subject to the terms of this Agreement.  Upon the request of POAMI, each Consenting Holder shall provide an accurate and current written list of the Relevant Ownerships held by such Consenting Holder, and in any event shall provide such written list of the Relevant Ownerships on the second business day prior to the expected commencement of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation.

Section 10.             Specific Performance.  It is understood and agreed by the parties that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by any party and each non-breaching party shall be entitled to the remedy of specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief, including attorneys’ fees and costs, as a remedy of any such breach, and each party agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of a bond in connection with such remedy.

4

EXCHANGE OFFER TERM SHEET FOR IASG 12% SENIOR SECURED NOTES

This term sheet is a confidential proposal made to certain holders of the 12% Senior Secured Notes of Integrated Alarm Services Group, Inc. (“IASG”) listed on Schedule A hereto, acting in their capacity as bondholders, that describes the principal terms and conditions of a proposed exchange offer for such existing 12% Senior Secured Notes.  The terms and conditions outlined in this term sheet are not intended to be all-inclusive, but rather set forth a general framework from which a mutually satisfactory exchange offer may be structured.  The actual terms and conditions are subject to, among other things, requisite approvals and satisfactory preparation and review of documentation.  This term sheet supersedes any prior oral or written agreements, proposals or understandings with respect to the matters described herein.  The parties agree that the actual indenture may require customary changes to the terms thereof in addition to those set forth below, provided that no such changes shall affect the covenants, related definitions or other economic terms without the consent of the bondholders.

*              *              *              *

I.                 Comparison of Terms of Existing Notes and New Notes

 

Existing Indenture

Proposed Indenture

Issuer:

Integrated Alarm Services Group, Inc.

Protection One Alarm Monitoring, Inc. (“POAMI”)

Issue:

Senior Secured Notes (the “Existing Notes”)

New Senior Secured Notes (the “New Notes”)

Principal Amount:

$125 million

Based upon principal amount exchanged (on a par-for-par basis)

Maturity Date:

November 15, 2011

Same

Interest Rate:

12% per annum (currently 13% due to non-registration), payable semi-annually in cash on May 15 and November 15

Initially 13% per annum due to non-registration, subject to reduction to 12% upon consummation of an exchange of the New Notes as described below under “Registration Rights”

 




 

Ranking:

The Existing Notes are senior secured obligations of IASG.

The New Notes will be pari passu in right of payment to POI/POAMI’s senior secured term loan and revolving credit facility and senior to POAMI’s 8-1/8% subordinated notes (the “8-1/8% Notes”).  The New Notes will be secured by a second priority lien on POAMI’s assets, subject to an intercreditor agreement reasonably acceptable to all parties.  The intercreditor provisions in such agreement shall provide, among other things, that (i) the lenders (the “Senior Lienholders”) under the POI/POAMI senior secured term loan and revolving credit facility (the “Bank Debt”) will have an absolute block on the ability of the holders of the New Notes (the “Second-Lien Lenders”) to exercise lien-related remedies during a period of 180 days following notice to the agent for the Senior Lienholders, (ii) the Second-Lien Lenders will not object to the Senior Lienholders’ liens, (iii) the Second-Lien Lenders will not object to a “debtor-in-possession” financing below $50mm, which preserves the priority of the Second-Lien Lenders in the collateral securing the New Notes relative to the Senior Lienholders and (iv) the Second-Lien Lenders will not object to the Senior Lienholders’ adequate protection, subject to customary protections granted to the Second-Lien Lenders.

 

In the event that the exchange offer described under “Registration Rights” below has occurred and Rule 3-10 or Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X would require the filing with the SEC of separate financial statements of any subsidiary due to such subsidiary’s capital stock being pledged as collateral for the New Notes as so exchanged, such capital stock shall be automatically deemed to not be part of the collateral (but only to the extent necessary to not be subject to such requirement), it being understood that, upon any change to the assets of POAMI or such subsidiary, or any change in such rules that results in such separate financial statements not being required to be filed, such capital stock (or any portion thereof) shall be included as part of the collateral, to the extent such inclusion would not trigger such reporting requirement.

 




 

 

 

 

Redemption:

Optional redemption by IASG pursuant to the redemption schedule contained in the Existing Notes.

Same redemption schedule, including make-whole provision.

Registration Rights:

Registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of November 16, 2004, by and among IASG, the guarantors named therein, and Morgan Joseph & Co. Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the several purchasers named therein.

POAMI will use its reasonable best efforts to register the New Notes, it being understood that the consequence of not registering the New Notes is that the interest rate shall not be reduced to 12% during the period of non-registration.

Guarantors:

Subsidiaries of IASG identified in the Existing Notes.

Subsidiaries of POAMI that guarantee the Bank Debt or the 8-1/8% Notes; Protection One, Inc. (“POI”) and IASG.

Covenants:

The Existing Notes contain certain covenants typically found in high yield note obligations, including, but not limited to, a change of control put, optional redemption, limitations on indebtedness, mergers, transactions with affiliates and restricted payments.

The New Notes will contain certain covenants found in the Existing Notes and certain revised covenants detailed below.  Covenants will apply to a restricted group consisting of POI and all of its subsidiaries, including POAMI and IASG, and will generally permit transactions within this restricted group.  Covenants to be included in the New Notes shall include, without limitation:

—Section 4.04 (Compliance Certificate).  Same.

 

—Section 4.05 (Taxes). Same.

—Revised Section 4.08 (Restricted Payments).  Covenant and related definitions to be conformed to those found in indenture for 8-1/8% Notes.  The restricted payment basket will grow beginning with the first full quarter ended after the consummation of the exchange offer, plus $5mm (provided that such $5mm shall not be available to pay dividends).  Refinancing the 8-1/8% Notes with unsecured senior or subordinated indebtedness shall be carved out from the restricted payment covenant.

 

—Section 4.09 (Limitation on Liens).  Revised covenant to include additional carevouts for (i) any interest or title of a lessor, licensor or sublicensor under any lease, license or sublicense entered into by POI/POAMI/IASG in the ordinary course of business, (ii) liens securing indebtedness in an amount of not more than $5mm and (iii) first priority liens under the POI/POAMI senior secured term loan and revolving credit facility.

 

—Section 4.10 (Repurchase Offer Following

—Revised Section 4.12 (Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted Subsidiaries).  Same.

 

—Revised Section 4.13 (Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates).  Covenant to be revised to require (i) Board approval if affiliate transaction in excess of $5mm (vs. $2mm in Existing Notes indenture) and (ii) Board approval and fairness opinion if affiliate transaction in excess of $15mm (vs. $5mm in Existing Notes indenture).  There shall also be a carveout for transactions among POI, POAMI, IASG and their subsidiaries.

 

—Section 4.14 (Limitation on Purchases of Retail Alarm Monitoring Contracts Following Certain Events).  Shall be deleted.

 

—Section 4.15 (Limitation on Issuances and Sales of Equity Interests in Restricted Subsidiaries).  Same.
