The Option has been granted under the Fenix Parts, Inc. 2014 Amended and Restated Incentive Stock Plan (the “Plan”), which is incorporated in this Agreement by reference. The Option was not granted under Section 5.11 of the Plan. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement without being defined (for example, the term “Committee”) have the same meanings that they have in the Plan.
2. Vesting and Exercisability
The Option may be exercised in whole or in part at any time prior to its Expiration Date to the extent that it is vested at the time of exercise. Any vested portion of the Option that remains unexercised shall expire on the Option’s Expiration Date, subject to earlier expiration as provided in Paragraph 5 of this Agreement.

EXHIBIT 10.6
Any unvested portion of the Option shall expire on Grantee’s Termination Date unless Grantee’s Termination occurs by reason of his or her death, in which case the Option shall become fully vested as of Grantee’s Termination Date.
The Option shall become fully vested upon a Change in Control, as provided in Article 7 of the Plan, prior to Grantee’s Termination Date.
3. Manner of Exercise
The Option may be exercised in respect of a whole number of Option Shares (and only in respect of a whole number) by:
(a) written notice of exercise to the Committee (or the Committee’s designee) at the Company’s principal executive offices which is received prior to the Option’s Expiration Date; together with
(b) full payment of the Exercise Price of the Option Shares in respect of which the Option is exercised; and
(c) full payment of an amount equal to the Company’s federal, state and local withholding tax obligation, if any, in connection with the Option’s exercise.
In addition, the exercise of the Option shall be subject to any procedures and policies in effect at the time of exercise that the Committee has adopted to administer the Plan.
4. Manner of Payment
Grantee’s payment of the Exercise Price of the Option Shares in respect of which the Option is exercised, and his or her payment of the Company’s withholding tax obligation, if any, in connection with the exercise, shall be made by check or by a wire transfer of immediately available funds.
Payment also may be made by means of a “cashless” net exercise through a broker approved by the Plan Administrator for the purpose, pursuant to which the full amount due to the Company is remitted directly by the broker from the net proceeds of the sale of a sufficient number of Option Shares. Payment may also be made in any other manner authorized by the Plan and specifically permitted by the Board at the time of exercise.
5. Early Expiration of Vested Portion of Option
The vested portion of the Option shall expire as follows:

6. Transferability
The Option may not be transferred, assigned or pledged (whether by operation of law or otherwise), except (i) as provided by will or the applicable laws of intestacy or (ii) in accordance with Section 5.5 of the Plan. The Option shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process.
7. Interpretation
This Agreement is subject to the terms of the Plan, as the Plan may be amended, but except as required by applicable law, no amendment of the Plan after the Grant Date shall adversely affect Grantee’s rights in respect of the Option without Grantee’s consent.
If there is a conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control. The Committee’s interpretation of this Agreement and the Plan shall be final and binding.
8. No Right to Nomination
Nothing in this Agreement shall be considered to confer on Grantee any right to continue to be nominated for election as a Director.
