               AMENDED AND RESTATED EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

         THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE AGREEMENT ("Agreement")
is made and entered into as of this 21st day of November, 2001, by and between
The Wackenhut Corporation, a Florida corporation, its successor or successors,
(hereinafter referred to as the "Company") and Alan B. Bernstein (hereinafter
referred to as the "Executive").

         The Executive is a key executive of the Company, and the Company
desires to provide the Executive with an incentive to remain with the Company if
concerns arise over a possible change in control.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and
valuable consideration, the Company and the Executive agree as follows:

1.       TERMINATION OF EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT. (a) PAYMENTS AND BENEFITS. If the
         Executive ceases to be employed by the Company for any reason
         (including the delivery of a written resignation to the Company by the
         Executive or his authorized representative on the Executive's or his
         estate's behalf) at any time during the 12 month period commencing on
         the date on which a Change in Control (as defined in Section 2 below)
         occurs, then (i) the Company shall pay the Special Termination Payment
         (as defined in Section 3 below) to the Executive (or his estate) within
         ten days after said termination, (ii) all awards granted pursuant to
         The Wackenhut Corporation Employee Long-Term Incentive Stock Plan and
         any other unvested stock options or other interests the Executive holds
         in the Company's stock or the stock of a subsidiary of the Company
         shall become fully vested, all restrictions on restricted stock units
         shall lapse, and all performance targets with respect to performance
         units or shares will be deemed to have been met as of the date the
         Executive's employment is terminated, (iii) the Company shall transfer
         all of its interest in any automobile used by the Executive pursuant to
         The Wackenhut Corporation Executive Automobile Policy (the "Executive
         Automobile Policy") and shall pay the balance of any outstanding loans
         or leases on such automobile (whether such obligations are those of the
         Executive or the Company) so that the Executive owns the automobile
         outright (in the event such automobile is leased, the Company shall pay
         the residual cost of such lease), (iv) the Company shall pay to the
         Executive, within ten days after said termination, an amount equal to
         the Deferred Compensation Payoff Amount defined below in full
         satisfaction of the Company's obligations under that certain Amended
         and Restated Senior Officer Retirement/Deferred Compensation Agreement
         between the Company and the Executive (the "Deferred Compensation
         Agreement"), (v) the Company shall continue to provide the Executive
         (and if applicable, his beneficiaries) with the Executive Benefits (as
         described in Section 4), at no cost to the Executive in no less than
         the same amount and, on the same terms and conditions as in effect on
         the date on which the Change of Control occurs for a period of 3 years
         after the date of termination of the Executive's employment with the
         Company, regardless of the cost to the Company, or, alternatively, if
         the Executive (or his estate) elects at any time in a written notice
         delivered to the Company to waive any particular Executive Benefits,
         the

<PAGE>

         Company shall make a cash payment to the Executive within ten days
         after receipt of such election in an amount equal to the present value
         of the Company's cost of providing such Executive Benefits from the
         date of such election to the end of the foregoing 3-year period, and
         such present value shall be determined by reference to the Company's
         then-current cost levels and a discount rate equal to 120 percent of
         the short-term applicable Federal rate provided for in Section 1274(d)
         of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") for the month in which the
         Change in Control occurs; and (vi) the Company shall pay to the
         Executive, within 10 days after said termination, an amount equal to
         the sum of (a) the dollar value of vacation time that would have been
         credited to the Executive pursuant to the Company's Vacation Policy
         dated August 1, 1997, Number HR 350 (the "Vacation Policy") if the
         Executive had remained employed by the Company through the "Anniversary
         Date" (as defined in the Vacation Policy) immediately following his
         termination of employment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of
         which is the number of days which elapsed from the Executive's
         Anniversary Date immediately preceding the date of termination through
         the date of such termination, and the denominator of which is 365, plus
         (b) the dollar value of vacation time which the Executive was entitled
         to have taken immediately prior to the Executive's termination, which
         was not in fact taken by the Executive; the dollar value of vacation
         time referred to above shall be equal to the amount which would have
         been paid to the Executive by the Company during such vacation time had
         the vacation time in fact been taken by the Executive immediately prior
         to the Executive's termination.

                  (b)      RULES AND DEFINITIONS.

                           (1) If the Executive dies during the 3-year period
                  contemplated by clause (v) of the foregoing paragraph (a), the
                  Company shall provide the Executive Benefits, to the extent
                  applicable, to the Executive's estate, or make any applicable
                  cash payments in lieu thereof to said estate. The Executive
                  shall be deemed to be employed by the Company if the Executive
                  is employed by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company in
                  which the Company owns a majority of the subsidiary's voting
                  securities. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to
                  the contrary, subsequent reemployment of the Executive by the
                  Company or any successor of the Company following a Change in
                  Control will not cause the Executive to forfeit any
                  compensation or benefits provided in this Agreement.

                           (2) The "Deferred Compensation Payoff Amount" is the
                  sum of (i) an amount which will be sufficient to allow the
                  Executive to purchase an annuity policy issued by a life
                  insurance company which has the highest ratings from
                  independent rating agencies (such as Standard & Poor's or A.M.
                  Best) which will provide after-tax benefits in amounts which
                  are at least equal to the after-tax benefits the Executive
                  would have received had the Company paid the deferred
                  compensation benefits to the Executive pursuant to the
                  Deferred Compensation Agreement, with payments commencing no
                  later than 30 days after the issuance of said annuity and at
                  the same intervals as provided for in the Deferred
                  Compensation Agreement (the "Annuity

                                        2

<PAGE>

                  Funding Amount"), plus (ii) the Deferred Compensation Gross-up
                  Payment defined below. The Deferred Compensation Gross-up
                  Payment is an amount which will cause the remainder of the
                  Deferred Compensation Payoff Amount minus all Applicable Taxes
                  (defined below) applicable to the Executive as a result of
                  payment of the Deferred Compensation Payoff Amount, to be
                  equal to the Annuity Funding Amount prior to deduction of any
                  Applicable Taxes imposed with respect to the Annuity Funding
                  Amount."Applicable Taxes" means all federal, state, local and
                  other taxes, including income taxes, payroll taxes, and any
                  other taxes, but not including any Excise Tax which is the
                  subject of Section 3.a of this Agreement. The Deferred
                  Compensation Gross-up Payment is intended to place the
                  Executive in the same economic position with respect to the
                  Annuity Funding Amount that the Executive would have been in
                  if the Applicable Taxes did not apply. For purposes of
                  determining after-tax benefits referred to in the definition
                  of the Annuity Funding Amount above, the taxes to be taken
                  into account shall be all applicable federal taxes assuming
                  that the Executive is subject to taxation at the highest
                  marginal rates. The payment of the Excise Tax Gross-up Payment
                  provided for in Section 3.a, if applicable, shall be in
                  addition to the Deferred Compensation Gross-up Payment
                  referred to above. Upon payment of the Deferred Compensation
                  Payoff Amount, the Company shall have no further obligation to
                  make payments with respect to the Deferred Compensation
                  Agreement.

                           (3) With respect to any Executive Benefits which are
                  health benefits subject to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget
                  Reconciliation Act of 1985 ("COBRA") ("Health Benefits") and
                  for which continuation coverage under COBRA is elected by the
                  Participant (at the Participant's expense), the Company shall
                  provide the Executive with the Health Benefits (at its
                  expense) contemplated by clause (v) of the foregoing paragraph
                  (a) for a 3-year period beginning on the date continuation
                  coverage under COBRA ends, provided that the Executive (or
                  Executive's estate) does not elect to waive the Health Benefit
                  in lieu of a cash payment as provided in clause (v) of the
                  foregoing paragraph (a). If the Executive makes the election
                  to receive the present value of said Executive Benefits under
                  clause (v) of paragraph (a), the present value of Executive
                  Benefits which are Health Benefits shall not be affected by
                  any COBRA coverage, and this shall not impair the Executive's
                  right to elect COBRA continuation as contemplated above.

2.       CHANGE IN CONTROL. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Change in
         Control" shall be deemed to have occurred as of the first day that any
         one or more of the following conditions shall have been satisfied:

                  (i) any "person" as such term is used in Section 13(d) and
         14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (the "Exchange Act")
         (other than members of the Controlling Shareholder Group, the Company,
         any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under any employee
         benefit plan of the Company, or any company owned, directly or
         indirectly, by the

                                        3

<PAGE>

         shareholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as
         their ownership of stock of the Company), is or becomes the "beneficial
         owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or
         indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 30% or more of
         the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities;

                  (ii) the shareholders of the Company approve a merger or
         consolidation of the Company with any other corporation or entity,
         OTHER THAN a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting
         securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto
         continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being
         converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than 80%
         of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or
         such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or
         consolidation; or

                  (iii) the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of
         complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or
         disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company's
         assets; or

                  (iv) the total combined voting power of the Company (or any
         successor entity) represented by shares of voting stock owned by
         members of the Controlling Shareholder Group is reduced to 30 percent
         or less.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Change in
         Control be deemed to have occurred, with respect to the Executive, if
         the Executive is part of a purchasing group which consummates a
         transaction causing a Change in Control. The Executive shall be deemed
         "part of a purchasing group" for purposes of the preceding sentence if
         the Executive is a direct or indirect equity participant in the
         purchasing company or group.

                  The "Controlling Shareholder Group" includes (i) George R.
         Wackenhut, (ii) the spouse and lineal descendants of George R.
         Wackenhut, (iii) any trust whose only beneficiaries are persons
         described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), and (iv) Affiliates of
         the persons described in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii). An
         "Affiliate" of a person includes only a corporation, limited liability
         company, partnership, or similar entity where all of the voting
         securities or ownership interests of said entity are directly owned by
         such person. A "person" includes any natural person and any
         corporation, limited liability company, partnership, trust or other
         entity.

3.       SPECIAL TERMINATION PAYMENT. For purposes of this Agreement, the
         "Special Termination Payment" shall mean an aggregate amount of money
         equal to the product of three (3) multiplied by the sum of the
         Executive's annual base salary as in effect at the time of the
         termination giving rise to the Special Termination Payment, or if
         greater the annual base salary in effect for the calendar year prior to
         the date of termination, plus the greater of (i) the annual bonus the
         Executive received during the preceding calendar year or (ii) the
         largest annual bonus the Executive would have received if his
         employment had not been terminated

                                        4

<PAGE>

         in the calendar year in which his employment was terminated assuming
         that all targets and incentives are met (regardless of actual results
         and criteria). In the event that the Company does not pay the Special
         Termination Payment by the due date specified in this Agreement, then
         the unpaid amount shall bear interest at the rate of 18 percent per
         annum, compounded monthly, until it is paid.

         a.       EQUALIZATION PAYMENT. If any of the Special Termination
                  Payment will be subject to the tax (the "Excise Tax") imposed
                  by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
                  amended (the "Code") (or any similar tax that may hereafter be
                  imposed), the Company shall also pay to the Executive in cash
                  an additional amount (the "Excise Tax Gross-up Payment") such
                  that the net amount retained by the Executive after deduction
                  from the Special Termination Payment and the Excise Tax
                  Gross-up Payment of any Excise Tax imposed upon the Special
                  Termination Payment and any federal, state local and other
                  taxes (including income taxes, payroll taxes, Excise Tax and
                  any other taxes) imposed upon the Excise Tax Gross-up Payment
                  shall be equal to the original amount of the Special
                  Termination Payment, prior to deduction of any Excise Tax
                  imposed with respect to the Special Termination Payment. The
                  Excise Tax Gross-up Payment is intended to place the Executive
                  in the same economic position he would have been in if the
                  Excise Tax did not apply. The Excise Tax Gross-up Payment
                  shall be paid to the Executive in full, at the time the
                  Special Termination Payment is paid pursuant to Section 1
                  hereof. For purposes of determining the Excise Tax Gross-up
                  Payment pursuant to this Section 3.a, the Special Termination
                  Payment shall also include any amounts which would be
                  considered "Parachute Payments" (within the meaning of Section
                  280G(b)(2) of the Code) to the Executive, including, but not
                  limited to, all items listed in Section 1 of this Agreement to
                  the extent that they are considered to be Parachute Payments
                  such that the Company will absorb the full cost of any Excise
                  Tax thereon and all taxes relating to the Company's absorption
                  of any Excise Taxes.

         b.       TAX RATES. For purposes of determining the amount of the
                  Excise Tax Gross-up Payment, the Executive shall be deemed to
                  pay Federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of
                  Federal income taxation in the calendar year in which the
                  Excise Tax Gross-up Payment is to be made, and state and local
                  income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the
                  state and locality of the Executive's residence on the date of
                  termination, net of the maximum reduction in Federal income
                  taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and
                  local taxes.

         c.       TAX CALCULATION. Simultaneously with the Company's payment of
                  the Special Termination Payment, the Company shall deliver to
                  the Executive a written statement specifying the total amount
                  of all payments provided for in this Agreement, together with
                  all supporting calculations. If the Executive disagrees with
                  the Company's calculation of any of said payments, the
                  Executive shall submit to the Company, no later than 30 days
                  after receipt of the Company's calculations, a written

                                        5

<PAGE>

                  notice advising the Company of the disagreement and setting
                  forth his calculation of said payments. The Executive's
                  failure to submit such notice within such period shall be
                  conclusively deemed to be an agreement by the Executive as to
                  the amount of said payments. If the Company agrees with the
                  Executive's calculations, it shall pay any shortfall to the
                  Executive within 20 days after receipt of such a notice from
                  the Executive, together with interest thereon accruing at the
                  rate of 18 percent per annum, compounded monthly, from the
                  original due date of the Special Termination Payment through
                  the actual date of payment of said shortfall. If the Company
                  does not agree with the Executive's calculations, it shall
                  provide the Executive with a written notice within 20 days
                  after the receipt of the Executive's calculations advising the
                  Executive that the disagreement is to be referred to an
                  independent accounting firm for resolution. Such disagreement
                  shall be referred to an independent "Big 5" accounting firm
                  which is not the regular accounting firm of the Company and
                  which is agreed to by the Company and the Executive within 10
                  days after issuance of the Company's notice of disagreement
                  (if the parties cannot agree on the identity of the accounting
                  firm which is to resolve the dispute, the accounting firm
                  shall be selected by means of a coin toss conducted in Palm
                  Beach County, Florida by counsel to the Executive on the first
                  business day after such 10 day period in such manner as such
                  counsel may specify). The accounting firm shall review all
                  information provided to it by the parties and submit a written
                  report setting forth its calculation of the amounts provided
                  for in this Agreement within 15 days after submission of the
                  matter to it, and such decision shall be final and binding on
                  all of the parties. The fees and expenses charged by said
                  accounting firm shall be paid by the Company. If the amount of
                  the payment actually paid by the Company was less than the
                  amount calculated by the accounting firm, the Company shall
                  pay the shortfall to the Executive within 5 days after the
                  accounting firm submits its written report, together with
                  interest thereon accruing at the rate of 18 percent per annum,
                  compounded monthly, from the original due date of the Special
                  Termination Payment through the actual date of payment of said
                  shortfall.

         d.       SUBSEQUENT RECALCULATION. In the event the Internal Revenue
                  Service imposes an Excise Tax that is greater than the Excise
                  Tax assumed for purposes of calculating the Excise Tax
                  Gross-up Payment, the Company shall reimburse the Executive
                  for the full amount necessary to make the Executive whole in
                  accordance with the principles set forth above, including any
                  interest and penalties which may be imposed.

4.       EXECUTIVE BENEFITS. The term "Executive Benefits" means all health,
         dental, disability, life insurance, retirement and fringe benefits or
         programs now or hereafter established by the Company which cover the
         Company's executives or its employees, and applicable family members
         and which are in effect on the date on which a Change in Control
         occurs. The term "Executive Benefits" also includes, for purposes of
         Section 3, the value of the items provided for in clauses (ii) and
         (iii) of the first sentence in Section 1.

                                        6

5.       NON-COMPETITION. In the event that Executive's employment is terminated
         pursuant to Section 1 hereof and Executive timely receives payment of
         the Special Termination Payment, Executive agrees that for a period of
         12 months after such termination of employment not to, directly or
         indirectly, own, manage, operate, control or participate in the
         ownership, management operation or control of, or be connected as an
         officer, employee, partner, director or otherwise with, or have any
         financial interest in, or aid or assist anyone else in the conduct of,
         any business (a "Competitive Operation") which competes with any
         business conducted by the Company, or by any group, division or
         subsidiary of the Company for which the Executive has had
         responsibility, in any area where such business is being conducted at
         the time of such termination. It is understood and agreed that, for the
         purposes of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5, no business
         which is conducted by the Company at the time of the Executive's
         termination and which subsequently is sold or discontinued by the
         Company shall be deemed to be a Competitive Operation within the
         meaning of this Section 5. Ownership of an amount not to exceed five
         percent (5%) of the voting stock of any publicly held corporation shall
         not constitute a violation hereof.

6.       RELEASE AND INDEMNITY. The Company hereby fully and forever releases,
         acquits, discharges and holds the Executive harmless from any and all,
         and all manner of, actions and causes of action, claims, suits, costs,
         debts, sums of money, claims and demands, presently known or unknown,
         whatsoever in law or equity or otherwise, which the Company ever had,
         now has or may now have, or will have in the future, by reason of any
         matter, cause or thing whatsoever, from the beginning of the world and
         all times thereafter. The preceding sentence does not apply to any
         matters, events, actions, claims, damages or losses arising from, in
         connection with or relating to (i) any intentional illegal conduct of
         the Executive, or (ii) conduct of the Executive after the Executive
         ceases to be employed by the Company. The Company at all times shall
         indemnify, save harmless and reimburse the Executive, from and against
         any and all demands, claims, liabilities, losses, actions, suits or
         proceedings, or other expenses, fees, or charges of any character or
         nature, which the Executive may incur or with which they may be
         threatened with, arising from, in connection with, relating to or
         arising as a result of Executive's employment by the Company or any
         other relationship that the Executive has with the Company as an
         officer, director, agent shareholder or otherwise, including without
         limitation settlement costs and attorneys' fees and court costs at
         trial and appellate levels which the Executive may incur in connection
         with settling, defending against or resisting any of the foregoing. The
         Company shall pay to the Executive any amounts due with respect to said
         indemnity within 5 business days after the Executive issues a written
         demand therefor to the Company. The provisions of this section are an
         expansion of any rights that the Executive may have with respect to the
         subject matter, and no other agreement or arrangement which the Company
         may have that benefits the Executive with respect to the subject matter
         hereof shall be superseded or limited in any way as a result of the
         parties entering into this Agreement.

7.       EXAMPLES. The operation of this Agreement is illustrated by the example
         set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. Said example is not intended to
         limit the manner in which amounts payable hereunder are to be
         calculated. If other tax rates, taxes or other charges are applicable,
         the calculations shall be adjusted to achieve the same economic result
         to the Executive such that the Executive receives all payments under
         this Agreement free of costs represented by Excise Taxes or any taxes
         relating to the absorption by the Company of Excise Taxes, and also
         such that the Annuity Funding Amount is received free not only of
         Excise Taxes, but also of all other taxes arising with respect to the
         Annuity Funding Amount and the absorption by the Company of all such
         taxes. The assumptions set forth in the said example are for
         illustrative purposes only, and have no relationship to the actual
         amounts that may apply under this Agreement.

8.       NOTICES. Notices and all other communications contemplated by this
         Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly
         given when received at the address specified herein. In the case of
         Executive, notices shall be delivered to him at the home address which
         he has most recently communicated to the Company in writing. In the
         case of the Company, notices shall be delivered to the Company's
         corporate headquarters, and all notices shall be directed to the
         attention of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, with a copy to the
         Company's General Counsel.

9.       NO MITIGATION. Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount
         of any payment or benefit contemplated by this Agreement upon his
         termination of employment (whether by seeking new employment or in any
         other manner), nor shall any such payment or benefit be reduced by any
         earnings or benefits that Executive may receive from any other source.

10.      MODIFICATION AND WAIVER. This Agreement shall not be canceled,
         rescinded or revoked, nor may any provision of this Agreement be
         modified, waived or discharged unless the cancellation, rescission,
         revocation, modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in writing
         and signed by Executive and by the President or Chairman of the Board
         of the Company. No waiver by either party of any breach of, or of
         compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement by the
         other party shall be considered a waiver of any other condition or
         provision or of the same condition or provision at another time.

11.      COMPLETE AGREEMENT. This Agreement supersedes all previous severance
         agreements entered into by Executive and the Company, including the
         Executive Severance Agreement entered into between the parties in the
         year 2000. Except as specifically provided in Section 1 of this
         Agreement, this Agreement does not affect any deferred compensation
         agreements, non-qualified retirement plans, or any other agreements
         entered into by the parties.

12.      NO ASSIGNMENT. No right, benefit or interest hereunder, shall be
         subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, encumbrance,
         charge, pledge, hypothecation, or set-off in respect of any claim, debt
         or obligation, or to execution, attachment, levy or similar process, or
         assignment by operation of law. Any attempt, voluntary or involuntary,
         to effect any

                                       8

<PAGE>

         action specified in the immediately preceding sentence shall, to the
         full extent permitted by law, be null, void and of no effect. This
         Agreement is binding on all successors of the Company, whether by
         merger, consolidation, purchase or otherwise, and all references to the
         Company shall also include references to any such successor.

13.      GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and
         enforced in accordance with and subject to, the laws of the State of
         Florida applicable to Agreements made and to be performed entirely
         within such State, as to all matters governed by state law or, if
         controlling, by applicable federal law.

14.      SEVERABILITY. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or
         provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or
         enforceability of any other provision hereof, which shall remain in
         full force and effect.

15.      LITIGATION; VENUE. Any action at law or in equity under this Agreement
         shall be brought in the courts of Palm Beach County, Florida, and in no
         other court (whether or not jurisdiction can be established in another
         court). Each party hereto waives the right to argue that venue is not
         appropriate in the courts of Palm Beach County, Florida.

16.      EXPENSES. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for all legal
         and/or accounting expenses he incurs in connection with the execution,
         delivery and enforcement of his rights under this Agreement.

17.      WITHHOLDING. All payments made pursuant to this Agreement will be
         subject to withholding of applicable taxes.

18.      COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
         counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all
         of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

                                   Page 1 of 2

         This example assumes the following:

         (i) the Special Termination Payment in Section 1(a)(i)is $1.1 million;

         (ii) the Annuity Funding Amount provided for in Section 1(b)(2) is $2
million;

         (iii) the combined value of the benefits set forth in clauses (ii),
(iii), (v) and (vi) of Section 1(a) for purposes of Code Section 280G is
$100,000;

         (iv) all payments under this Agreement are "parachute payments" under
Code Section 280G(b)(2)(A);

         (v) the Executive's base amount under Code Section  280G(b)(3)(A) is
$300,000;

         (vi) the present value of the deferred compensation payments due to the
Executive pursuant to the Deferred Compensation Agreement for purposes of Code
Section 280G is $1,800,000; and

         (vii) payments made to the Executive under this Agreement are subject
to a maximum federal income tax rate under Code section 1 of 39.1%, a payroll
tax under Code section 3101 of 1.45%, and an excise tax under Code section 4999

               AMENDED AND RESTATED EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

         THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE AGREEMENT ("Agreement")
is made and entered into as of this 27th day of November, 2001, by and between
The Wackenhut Corporation, a Florida corporation, its successor or successors,
(hereinafter referred to as the "Company") and Robert C. Kneip (hereinafter
referred to as the "Executive").

         The Executive is a key executive of the Company, and the Company
desires to provide the Executive with an incentive to remain with the Company if
concerns arise over a possible change in control.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and
valuable consideration, the Company and the Executive agree as follows:

1.       TERMINATION OF EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT. (a) PAYMENTS AND BENEFITS. If the
         Executive ceases to be employed by the Company for any reason
         (including the delivery of a written resignation to the Company by the
         Executive or his authorized representative on the Executive's or his
         estate's behalf) at any time during the 12 month period commencing on
         the date on which a Change in Control (as defined in Section 2 below)
         occurs, then (i) the Company shall pay the Special Termination Payment
         (as defined in Section 3 below) to the Executive (or his estate) within
         ten days after said termination, (ii) all awards granted pursuant to
         The Wackenhut Corporation Employee Long-Term Incentive Stock Plan and
         any other unvested stock options or other interests the Executive holds
         in the Company's stock or the stock of a subsidiary of the Company
         shall become fully vested, all restrictions on restricted stock units
         shall lapse, and all performance targets with respect to performance
         units or shares will be deemed to have been met as of the date the
         Executive's employment is terminated, (iii) the Company shall transfer
         all of its interest in any automobile used by the Executive pursuant to
         The Wackenhut Corporation Executive Automobile Policy (the "Executive
         Automobile Policy") and shall pay the balance of any outstanding loans
         or leases on such automobile (whether such obligations are those of the
         Executive or the Company) so that the Executive owns the automobile
         outright (in the event such automobile is leased, the Company shall pay
         the residual cost of such lease), (iv) the Company shall pay to the
         Executive, within ten days after said termination, an amount equal to
         the Deferred Compensation Payoff Amount defined below in full
         satisfaction of the Company's obligations under that certain Amended
         and Restated Senior Officer Retirement/Deferred Compensation Agreement
         between the Company and the Executive (the "Deferred Compensation
         Agreement"), (v) the Company shall continue to provide the Executive
         (and if applicable, his beneficiaries) with the Executive Benefits (as
         described in Section 4), at no cost to the Executive in no less than
         the same amount and, on the same terms and conditions as in effect on
         the date on which the Change of Control occurs for a period of 3 years
         after the date of termination of the Executive's employment with the
         Company, regardless of the cost to the Company, or, alternatively, if
         the Executive (or his estate) elects at any time in a written notice
         delivered to the Company to waive any particular Executive Benefits,
         the

<PAGE>

         Company  shall make a cash payment to the Executive within ten days
         after receipt of such election in an amount equal to the present value
         of the Company's cost of providing such Executive Benefits from the
         date of such election to the end of the foregoing 3-year period, and
         such present value shall be determined by reference to the Company's
         then-current cost levels and a discount rate equal to 120 percent of
         the short-term applicable Federal rate provided for in Section 1274(d)
         of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") for the month in which the
         Change in Control occurs; and (vi) the Company shall pay to the
         Executive, within 10 days after said termination, an amount equal to
         the sum of (a) the dollar value of vacation time that would have been
         credited to the Executive pursuant to the Company's Vacation Policy
         dated August 1, 1997, Number HR 350 (the "Vacation Policy") if the
         Executive had remained employed by the Company through the "Anniversary
         Date" (as defined in the Vacation Policy) immediately following his
         termination of employment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of
         which is the number of days which elapsed from the Executive's
         Anniversary Date immediately preceding the date of termination through
         the date of such termination, and the denominator of which is 365, plus
         (b) the dollar value of vacation time which the Executive was entitled
         to have taken immediately prior to the Executive's termination, which
         was not in fact taken by the Executive; the dollar value of vacation
         time referred to above shall be equal to the amount which would have
         been paid to the Executive by the Company during such vacation time had
         the vacation time in fact been taken by the Executive immediately prior
         to the Executive's termination.

                  (b)      RULES AND DEFINITIONS.

                           (1) If the Executive dies during the 3-year period
                  contemplated by clause (v) of the foregoing paragraph (a), the
                  Company shall provide the Executive Benefits, to the extent
                  applicable, to the Executive's estate, or make any applicable
                  cash payments in lieu thereof to said estate. The Executive
                  shall be deemed to be employed by the Company if the Executive
                  is employed by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company in
                  which the Company owns a majority of the subsidiary's voting
                  securities. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to
                  the contrary, subsequent reemployment of the Executive by the
                  Company or any successor of the Company following a Change in
                  Control will not cause the Executive to forfeit any
                  compensation or benefits provided in this Agreement.

                           (2) The "Deferred Compensation Payoff Amount" is the
                  sum of (i) an amount which will be sufficient to allow the
                  Executive to purchase an annuity policy issued by a life
                  insurance company which has the highest ratings from
                  independent rating agencies (such as Standard & Poor's or A.M.
                  Best) which will provide after-tax benefits in amounts which
                  are at least equal to the after-tax benefits the Executive
                  would have received had the Company paid the deferred
                  compensation benefits to the Executive pursuant to the
                  Deferred Compensation Agreement, with payments commencing no
                  later than 30 days after the issuance of said annuity and at
                  the same intervals as provided for in the Deferred
                  Compensation Agreement (the "Annuity

                                       2
<PAGE>

                  Funding Amount"), plus (ii) the Deferred Compensation Gross-up
                  Payment defined below. The Deferred Compensation Gross-up
                  Payment is an amount which will cause the remainder of the
                  Deferred Compensation Payoff Amount minus all Applicable Taxes
                  (defined below) applicable to the Executive as a result of
                  payment of the Deferred Compensation Payoff Amount, to be
                  equal to the Annuity Funding Amount prior to deduction of any
                  Applicable Taxes imposed with respect to the Annuity Funding
                  Amount."Applicable Taxes" means all federal, state, local and
                  other taxes, including income taxes, payroll taxes, and any
                  other taxes, but not including any Excise Tax which is the
                  subject of Section 3.a of this Agreement. The Deferred
                  Compensation Gross-up Payment is intended to place the
                  Executive in the same economic position with respect to the
                  Annuity Funding Amount that the Executive would have been in
                  if the Applicable Taxes did not apply. For purposes of
                  determining after-tax benefits referred to in the definition
                  of the Annuity Funding Amount above, the taxes to be taken
                  into account shall be all applicable federal taxes assuming
                  that the Executive is subject to taxation at the highest
                  marginal rates. The payment of the Excise Tax Gross-up Payment
                  provided for in Section 3.a, if applicable, shall be in
                  addition to the Deferred Compensation Gross-up Payment
                  referred to above. Upon payment of the Deferred Compensation
                  Payoff Amount, the Company shall have no further obligation to
                  make payments with respect to the Deferred Compensation
                  Agreement.

                           (3) With respect to any Executive Benefits which are
                  health benefits subject to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget
                  Reconciliation Act of 1985 ("COBRA") ("Health Benefits") and
                  for which continuation coverage under COBRA is elected by the
                  Participant (at the Participant's expense), the Company shall
                  provide the Executive with the Health Benefits (at its
                  expense) contemplated by clause (v) of the foregoing paragraph
                  (a) for a 3-year period beginning on the date continuation
                  coverage under COBRA ends, provided that the Executive (or
                  Executive's estate) does not elect to waive the Health Benefit
                  in lieu of a cash payment as provided in clause (v) of the
                  foregoing paragraph (a). If the Executive makes the election
                  to receive the present value of said Executive Benefits under
                  clause (v) of paragraph (a), the present value of Executive
                  Benefits which are Health Benefits shall not be affected by
                  any COBRA coverage, and this shall not impair the Executive's
                  right to elect COBRA continuation as contemplated above.

2.       CHANGE IN CONTROL. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Change in
         Control" shall be deemed to have occurred as of the first day that any
         one or more of the following conditions shall have been satisfied:

                  (i) any "person" as such term is used in Section 13(d) and
         14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (the "Exchange Act")
         (other than members of the Controlling Shareholder Group, the Company,
         any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under any employee
         benefit plan of the Company, or any company owned, directly or
         indirectly, by the

                                       3
<PAGE>

         shareholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as
         their ownership of stock of the Company), is or becomes the "beneficial
         owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or
         indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 30% or more of
         the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities;

                  (ii) the shareholders of the Company approve a merger or
         consolidation of the Company with any other corporation or entity,
         OTHER THAN a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting
         securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto
         continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being
         converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than 80%
         of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or
         such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or
         consolidation; or

                  (iii) the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of
         complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or
         disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company's
         assets; or

                  (iv) the total combined voting power of the Company (or any
         successor entity) represented by shares of voting stock owned by
         members of the Controlling Shareholder Group is reduced to 30 percent
         or less.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Change in
         Control be deemed to have occurred, with respect to the Executive, if
         the Executive is part of a purchasing group which consummates a
         transaction causing a Change in Control. The Executive shall be deemed
         "part of a purchasing group" for purposes of the preceding sentence if
         the Executive is a direct or indirect equity participant in the
         purchasing company or group.

                  The "Controlling Shareholder Group" includes (i) George R.
         Wackenhut, (ii) the spouse and lineal descendants of George R.
         Wackenhut, (iii) any trust whose only beneficiaries are persons
         described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), and (iv) Affiliates of
         the persons described in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii). An
         "Affiliate" of a person includes only a corporation, limited liability
         company, partnership, or similar entity where all of the voting
         securities or ownership interests of said entity are directly owned by
         such person. A "person" includes any natural person and any
         corporation, limited liability company, partnership, trust or other
         entity.

3.       SPECIAL TERMINATION PAYMENT. For purposes of this Agreement, the
         "Special Termination Payment" shall mean an aggregate amount of money
         equal to the product of three (3) multiplied by the sum of the
         Executive's annual base salary as in effect at the time of the
         termination giving rise to the Special Termination Payment, or if
         greater the annual base salary in effect for the calendar year prior to
         the date of termination, plus the greater of (i) the annual bonus the
         Executive received during the preceding calendar year or (ii) the
         largest annual bonus the Executive would have received if his
         employment had not been terminated

                                       4
<PAGE>

         in the calendar year in which his employment was terminated assuming
         that all targets and incentives are met (regardless of actual results
         and criteria). In the event that the Company does not pay the Special
         Termination Payment by the due date specified in this Agreement, then
         the unpaid amount shall bear interest at the rate of 18 percent per
         annum, compounded monthly, until it is paid.

         a.       EQUALIZATION PAYMENT. If any of the Special Termination
                  Payment will be subject to the tax (the "Excise Tax") imposed
                  by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
                  amended (the "Code") (or any similar tax that may hereafter be
                  imposed), the Company shall also pay to the Executive in cash
                  an additional amount (the "Excise Tax Gross-up Payment") such
                  that the net amount retained by the Executive after deduction
                  from the Special Termination Payment and the Excise Tax
                  Gross-up Payment of any Excise Tax imposed upon the Special
                  Termination Payment and any federal, state local and other
                  taxes (including income taxes, payroll taxes, Excise Tax and
                  any other taxes) imposed upon the Excise Tax Gross-up Payment
                  shall be equal to the original amount of the Special
                  Termination Payment, prior to deduction of any Excise Tax
                  imposed with respect to the Special Termination Payment. The
                  Excise Tax Gross-up Payment is intended to place the Executive
                  in the same economic position he would have been in if the
                  Excise Tax did not apply. The Excise Tax Gross-up Payment
                  shall be paid to the Executive in full, at the time the
                  Special Termination Payment is paid pursuant to Section 1
                  hereof. For purposes of determining the Excise Tax Gross-up
                  Payment pursuant to this Section 3.a, the Special Termination
                  Payment shall also include any amounts which would be
                  considered "Parachute Payments" (within the meaning of Section
                  280G(b)(2) of the Code) to the Executive, including, but not
                  limited to, all items listed in Section 1 of this Agreement to
                  the extent that they are considered to be Parachute Payments
                  such that the Company will absorb the full cost of any Excise
                  Tax thereon and all taxes relating to the Company's absorption
                  of any Excise Taxes.

         b.       TAX RATES. For purposes of determining the amount of the
                  Excise Tax Gross-up Payment, the Executive shall be deemed to
                  pay Federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of
                  Federal income taxation in the calendar year in which the
                  Excise Tax Gross-up Payment is to be made, and state and local
                  income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the
                  state and locality of the Executive's residence on the date of
                  termination, net of the maximum reduction in Federal income
                  taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and
                  local taxes.

         c.       TAX CALCULATION. Simultaneously with the Company's payment of
                  the Special Termination Payment, the Company shall deliver to
                  the Executive a written statement specifying the total amount
                  of all payments provided for in this Agreement, together with
                  all supporting calculations. If the Executive disagrees with
                  the Company's calculation of any of said payments, the
                  Executive shall submit to the Company, no later than 30 days
                  after receipt of the Company's calculations, a written notice

                                       5
<PAGE>

                  advising the Company of the disagreement and setting forth his
                  calculation of said payments. The Executive's failure to
                  submit such notice within such period shall be conclusively
                  deemed to be an agreement by the Executive as to the amount of
                  said payments. If the Company agrees with the Executive's
                  calculations, it shall pay any shortfall to the Executive
                  within 20 days after receipt of such a notice from the
                  Executive, together with interest thereon accruing at the rate
                  of 18 percent per annum, compounded monthly, from the original
                  due date of the Special Termination Payment through the actual
                  date of payment of said shortfall. If the Company does not
                  agree with the Executive's calculations, it shall provide the
                  Executive with a written notice within 20 days after the
                  receipt of the Executive's calculations advising the Executive
                  that the disagreement is to be referred to an independent
                  accounting firm for resolution. Such disagreement shall be
                  referred to an independent "Big 5" accounting firm which is
                  not the regular accounting firm of the Company and which is
                  agreed to by the Company and the Executive within 10 days
                  after issuance of the Company's notice of disagreement (if the
                  parties cannot agree on the identity of the accounting firm
                  which is to resolve the dispute, the accounting firm shall be
                  selected by means of a coin toss conducted in Palm Beach
                  County, Florida by counsel to the Executive on the first
                  business day after such 10 day period in such manner as such
                  counsel may specify). The accounting firm shall review all
                  information provided to it by the parties and submit a written
                  report setting forth its calculation of the amounts provided
                  for in this Agreement within 15 days after submission of the
                  matter to it, and such decision shall be final and binding on
                  all of the parties. The fees and expenses charged by said
                  accounting firm shall be paid by the Company. If the amount of
                  the payment actually paid by the Company was less than the
                  amount calculated by the accounting firm, the Company shall
                  pay the shortfall to the Executive within 5 days after the
                  accounting firm submits its written report, together with
                  interest thereon accruing at the rate of 18 percent per annum,
                  compounded monthly, from the original due date of the Special
                  Termination Payment through the actual date of payment of said
                  shortfall.

         d.       SUBSEQUENT RECALCULATION. In the event the Internal Revenue
                  Service imposes an Excise Tax that is greater than the Excise
                  Tax assumed for purposes of calculating the Excise Tax
                  Gross-up Payment, the Company shall reimburse the Executive
                  for the full amount necessary to make the Executive whole in
                  accordance with the principles set forth above, including any
                  interest and penalties which may be imposed.

4.       EXECUTIVE BENEFITS. The term "Executive Benefits" means all health,
         dental, disability, life insurance, retirement and fringe benefits or
         programs now or hereafter established by the Company which cover the
         Company's executives or its employees, and applicable family members
         and which are in effect on the date on which a Change in Control
         occurs. The term "Executive Benefits" also includes, for purposes of
         Section 3, the value of the items provided for in clauses (ii) and
         (iii) of the first sentence in Section 1.

                                       6
<PAGE>

5.       NON-COMPETITION. In the event that Executive's employment is terminated
         pursuant to Section 1 hereof and Executive timely receives payment of
         the Special Termination Payment, Executive agrees that for a period of
         12 months after such termination of employment not to, directly or
         indirectly, own, manage, operate, control or participate in the
         ownership, management operation or control of, or be connected as an
         officer, employee, partner, director or otherwise with, or have any
         financial interest in, or aid or assist anyone else in the conduct of,
         any business (a "Competitive Operation") which competes with any
         business conducted by the Company, or by any group, division or
         subsidiary of the Company for which the Executive has had
         responsibility, in any area where such business is being conducted at
         the time of such termination. It is understood and agreed that, for the
         purposes of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5, no business
         which is conducted by the Company at the time of the Executive's
         termination and which subsequently is sold or discontinued by the
         Company shall be deemed to be a Competitive Operation within the
         meaning of this Section 5. Ownership of an amount not to exceed five
         percent (5%) of the voting stock of any publicly held corporation shall
         not constitute a violation hereof.

6.       RELEASE AND INDEMNITY. The Company hereby fully and forever releases,
         acquits, discharges and holds the Executive harmless from any and all,
         and all manner of, actions and causes of action, claims, suits, costs,
         debts, sums of money, claims and demands, presently known or unknown,
         whatsoever in law or equity or otherwise, which the Company ever had,
         now has or may now have, or will have in the future, by reason of any
         matter, cause or thing whatsoever, from the beginning of the world and
         all times thereafter. The preceding sentence does not apply to any
         matters, events, actions, claims, damages or losses arising from, in
         connection with or relating to (i) any intentional illegal conduct of
         the Executive, or (ii) conduct of the Executive after the Executive
         ceases to be employed by the Company. The Company at all times shall
         indemnify, save harmless and reimburse the Executive, from and against
         any and all demands, claims, liabilities, losses, actions, suits or
         proceedings, or other expenses, fees, or charges of any character or
         nature, which the Executive may incur or with which they may be
         threatened with, arising from, in connection with, relating to or
         arising as a result of Executive's employment by the Company or any
         other relationship that the Executive has with the Company as an
         officer, director, agent shareholder or otherwise, including without
         limitation settlement costs and attorneys' fees and court costs at
         trial and appellate levels which the Executive may incur in connection
         with settling, defending against or resisting any of the foregoing. The
         Company shall pay to the Executive any amounts due with respect to said
         indemnity within 5 business days after the Executive issues a written
         demand therefor to the Company. The provisions of this section are an
         expansion of any rights that the Executive may have with respect to the
         subject matter, and no other agreement or arrangement which the Company
         may have that benefits the Executive with respect to the subject matter
         hereof shall be superseded or limited in any way as a result of the
         parties entering into this Agreement.

7.       EXAMPLES. The operation of this Agreement is illustrated by the example
         set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. Said example is not intended to
         limit the manner in which amounts payable hereunder are to be
         calculated. If other tax rates, taxes or other charges are applicable,
         the calculations shall be adjusted to achieve the same economic result
         to the Executive such that the Executive receives all payments under
         this Agreement free of costs represented by Excise Taxes or any taxes
         relating to the absorption by the Company of Excise Taxes, and also
         such that the Annuity Funding Amount is received free not only of
         Excise Taxes, but also of all other taxes arising with respect to the
         Annuity Funding Amount and the absorption by the Company of all such
         taxes. The assumptions set forth in the said example are for
         illustrative purposes only, and have no relationship to the actual
         amounts that may apply under this Agreement.

8.       NOTICES. Notices and all other communications contemplated by this
         Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly
         given when received at the address specified herein. In the case of
         Executive, notices shall be delivered to him at the home address which
         he has most recently communicated to the Company in writing. In the
         case of the Company, notices shall be delivered to the Company's
         corporate headquarters, and all notices shall be directed to the
         attention of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, with a copy to the
         Company's General Counsel.

9.       NO MITIGATION. Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount
         of any payment or benefit contemplated by this Agreement upon his
         termination of employment (whether by seeking new employment or in any
         other manner), nor shall any such payment or benefit be reduced by any
         earnings or benefits that Executive may receive from any other source.

10.      MODIFICATION AND WAIVER. This Agreement shall not be canceled,
         rescinded or revoked, nor may any provision of this Agreement be
         modified, waived or discharged unless the cancellation, rescission,
         revocation, modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in writing
         and signed by Executive and by the President or Chairman of the Board
         of the Company. No waiver by either party of any breach of, or of
         compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement by the
         other party shall be considered a waiver of any other condition or
         provision or of the same condition or provision at another time.

11.      COMPLETE AGREEMENT. This Agreement supersedes all previous severance
         agreements entered into by Executive and the Company, including the
         Executive Severance Agreement entered into between the parties in the
         year 2000. Except as specifically provided in Section 1 of this
         Agreement, this Agreement does not affect any deferred compensation
         agreements, non-qualified retirement plans, or any other agreements
         entered into by the parties.

12.      NO ASSIGNMENT. No right, benefit or interest hereunder, shall be
         subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, encumbrance,
         charge, pledge, hypothecation, or set-off in respect of any claim, debt
         or obligation, or to execution, attachment, levy or similar process, or
         assignment by operation of law. Any attempt, voluntary or involuntary,

                                       8
<PAGE>

         to effect any action specified in the immediately preceding sentence
         shall, to the full extent permitted by law, be null, void and of no
         effect. This Agreement is binding on all successors of the Company,
         whether by merger, consolidation, purchase or otherwise, and all
         references to the Company shall also include references to any such
         successor.

13.      GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and
         enforced in accordance with and subject to, the laws of the State of
         Florida applicable to Agreements made and to be performed entirely
         within such State, as to all matters governed by state law or, if
         controlling, by applicable federal law.

14.      SEVERABILITY. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or
         provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or
         enforceability of any other provision hereof, which shall remain in
         full force and effect.

15.      LITIGATION; VENUE. Any action at law or in equity under this Agreement
         shall be brought in the courts of Palm Beach County, Florida, and in no
         other court (whether or not jurisdiction can be established in another
         court). Each party hereto waives the right to argue that venue is not
         appropriate in the courts of Palm Beach County, Florida.

16.      EXPENSES. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for all legal
         and/or accounting expenses he incurs in connection with the execution,
         delivery and enforcement of his rights under this Agreement.

17.      WITHHOLDING. All payments made pursuant to this Agreement will be
         subject to withholding of applicable taxes.

18.      COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
         counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all
         of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

                                   Page 1 of 2

         This example assumes the following:

         (i) the Special Termination Payment in Section 1(a)(i)is $1.1 million;

         (ii) the Annuity Funding Amount provided for in Section 1(b)(2) is $2
million;

         (iii) the combined value of the benefits set forth in clauses (ii),
(iii), (v) and (vi) of Section 1(a) for purposes of Code Section 280G is
$100,000;

         (iv) all payments under this Agreement are "parachute payments" under
Code Section 280G(b)(2)(A);

         (v) the Executive's base amount under Code Section  280G(b)(3)(A) is
$300,000;

         (vi) the present value of the deferred compensation payments due to the
Executive pursuant to the Deferred Compensation Agreement for purposes of Code
Section 280G is $1,800,000; and

         (vii) payments made to the Executive under this Agreement are subject
to a maximum federal income tax rate under Code section 1 of 39.1%, a payroll
tax under Code section 3101 of 1.45%, and an excise tax under Code section 4999

               AMENDED AND RESTATED EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

         THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE AGREEMENT ("Agreement")
fpis made and entered into as of this 21st day of November, 2001, by and between
The Wackenhut Corporation, a Florida corporation, its successor or successors,
(hereinafter referred to as the "Company") and Philip L. Maslowe (hereinafter
referred to as the "Executive").

         The Executive is a key executive of the Company, and the Company
desires to provide the Executive with an incentive to remain with the Company if
concerns arise over a possible change in control.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and
valuable consideration, the Company and the Executive agree as follows:

1.       TERMINATION OF EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT. (a) PAYMENTS AND BENEFITS. If the
         Executive ceases to be employed by the Company for any reason
         (including the delivery of a written resignation to the Company by the
         Executive or his authorized representative on the Executive's or his
         estate's behalf) at any time during the 12 month period commencing on
         the date on which a Change in Control (as defined in Section 2 below)
         occurs, then (i) the Company shall pay the Special Termination Payment
         (as defined in Section 3 below) to the Executive (or his estate) within
         ten days after said termination, (ii) all awards granted pursuant to
         The Wackenhut Corporation Employee Long-Term Incentive Stock Plan and
         any other unvested stock options or other interests the Executive holds
         in the Company's stock or the stock of a subsidiary of the Company
         shall become fully vested, all restrictions on restricted stock units
         shall lapse, and all performance targets with respect to performance
         units or shares will be deemed to have been met as of the date the
         Executive's employment is terminated, (iii) the Company shall transfer
         all of its interest in any automobile used by the Executive pursuant to
         The Wackenhut Corporation Executive Automobile Policy (the "Executive
         Automobile Policy") and shall pay the balance of any outstanding loans
         or leases on such automobile (whether such obligations are those of the
         Executive or the Company) so that the Executive owns the automobile
         outright (in the event such automobile is leased, the Company shall pay
         the residual cost of such lease), (iv) the Company shall pay to the
         Executive, within ten days after said termination, an amount equal to
         the Deferred Compensation Payoff Amount defined below in full
         satisfaction of the Company's obligations under that certain Amended
         and Restated Senior Officer Retirement/Deferred Compensation Agreement
         between the Company and the Executive (the "Deferred Compensation
         Agreement"), (v) the Company shall continue to provide the Executive
         (and if applicable, his beneficiaries) with the Executive Benefits (as
         described in Section 4), at no cost to the Executive in no less than
         the same amount and, on the same terms and conditions as in effect on
         the date on which the Change of Control occurs for a period of 3 years
         after the date of termination of the Executive's employment with the
         Company, regardless of the cost to the Company, or, alternatively, if
         the Executive (or his estate) elects at any time in a written notice
         delivered to the Company to waive any particular Executive Benefits,
         the

<PAGE>

         Company shall make a cash payment to the Executive within ten days
         after receipt of such election in an amount equal to the present value
         of the Company's cost of providing such Executive Benefits from the
         date of such election to the end of the foregoing 3-year period, and
         such present value shall be determined by reference to the Company's
         then-current cost levels and a discount rate equal to 120 percent of
         the short-term applicable Federal rate provided for in Section 1274(d)
         of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") for the month in which the
         Change in Control occurs; and (vi) the Company shall pay to the
         Executive, within 10 days after said termination, an amount equal to
         the sum of (a) the dollar value of vacation time that would have been
         credited to the Executive pursuant to the Company's Vacation Policy
         dated August 1, 1997, Number HR 350 (the "Vacation Policy") if the
         Executive had remained employed by the Company through the "Anniversary
         Date" (as defined in the Vacation Policy) immediately following his
         termination of employment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of
         which is the number of days which elapsed from the Executive's
         Anniversary Date immediately preceding the date of termination through
         the date of such termination, and the denominator of which is 365, plus
         (b) the dollar value of vacation time which the Executive was entitled
         to have taken immediately prior to the Executive's termination, which
         was not in fact taken by the Executive; the dollar value of vacation
         time referred to above shall be equal to the amount which would have
         been paid to the Executive by the Company during such vacation time had
         the vacation time in fact been taken by the Executive immediately prior
         to the Executive's termination.

                  (b)      RULES AND DEFINITIONS.

                           (1) If the Executive dies during the 3-year period
                  contemplated by clause (v) of the foregoing paragraph (a), the
                  Company shall provide the Executive Benefits, to the extent
                  applicable, to the Executive's estate, or make any applicable
                  cash payments in lieu thereof to said estate. The Executive
                  shall be deemed to be employed by the Company if the Executive
                  is employed by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company in
                  which the Company owns a majority of the subsidiary's voting
                  securities. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to
                  the contrary, subsequent reemployment of the Executive by the
                  Company or any successor of the Company following a Change in
                  Control will not cause the Executive to forfeit any
                  compensation or benefits provided in this Agreement.

                           (2) The "Deferred Compensation Payoff Amount" is the
                  sum of (i) an amount which will be sufficient to allow the
                  Executive to purchase an annuity policy issued by a life
                  insurance company which has the highest ratings from
                  independent rating agencies (such as Standard & Poor's or A.M.
                  Best) which will provide after-tax benefits in amounts which
                  are at least equal to the after-tax benefits the Executive
                  would have received had the Company paid the deferred
                  compensation benefits to the Executive pursuant to the
                  Deferred Compensation Agreement, with payments commencing no
                  later than 30 days after the issuance of said annuity and at
                  the same intervals as provided for in the Deferred
                  Compensation Agreement (the "Annuity

                                        2

<PAGE>

                  Funding Amount"), plus (ii) the Deferred Compensation Gross-up
                  Payment defined below. The Deferred Compensation Gross-up
                  Payment is an amount which will cause the remainder of the
                  Deferred Compensation Payoff Amount minus all Applicable Taxes
                  (defined below) applicable to the Executive as a result of
                  payment of the Deferred Compensation Payoff Amount, to be
                  equal to the Annuity Funding Amount prior to deduction of any
                  Applicable Taxes imposed with respect to the Annuity Funding
                  Amount."Applicable Taxes" means all federal, state, local and
                  other taxes, including income taxes, payroll taxes, and any
                  other taxes, but not including any Excise Tax which is the
                  subject of Section 3.a of this Agreement. The Deferred
                  Compensation Gross-up Payment is intended to place the
                  Executive in the same economic position with respect to the
                  Annuity Funding Amount that the Executive would have been in
                  if the Applicable Taxes did not apply. For purposes of
                  determining after-tax benefits referred to in the definition
                  of the Annuity Funding Amount above, the taxes to be taken
                  into account shall be all applicable federal taxes assuming
                  that the Executive is subject to taxation at the highest
                  marginal rates. The payment of the Excise Tax Gross-up Payment
                  provided for in Section 3.a, if applicable, shall be in
                  addition to the Deferred Compensation Gross-up Payment
                  referred to above. Upon payment of the Deferred Compensation
                  Payoff Amount, the Company shall have no further obligation to
                  make payments with respect to the Deferred Compensation
                  Agreement.

                           (3) With respect to any Executive Benefits which are
                  health benefits subject to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget
                  Reconciliation Act of 1985 ("COBRA") ("Health Benefits") and
                  for which continuation coverage under COBRA is elected by the
                  Participant (at the Participant's expense), the Company shall
                  provide the Executive with the Health Benefits (at its
                  expense) contemplated by clause (v) of the foregoing paragraph
                  (a) for a 3-year period beginning on the date continuation
                  coverage under COBRA ends, provided that the Executive (or
                  Executive's estate) does not elect to waive the Health Benefit
                  in lieu of a cash payment as provided in clause (v) of the
                  foregoing paragraph (a). If the Executive makes the election
                  to receive the present value of said Executive Benefits under
                  clause (v) of paragraph (a), the present value of Executive
                  Benefits which are Health Benefits shall not be affected by
                  any COBRA coverage, and this shall not impair the Executive's
                  right to elect COBRA continuation as contemplated above.

2.       CHANGE IN CONTROL. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Change in
         Control" shall be deemed to have occurred as of the first day that any
         one or more of the following conditions shall have been satisfied:

                  (i) any "person" as such term is used in Section 13(d) and
         14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (the "Exchange Act")
         (other than members of the Controlling Shareholder Group, the Company,
         any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under any employee
         benefit plan of the Company, or any company owned, directly or
         indirectly, by the

                                        3

<PAGE>

         shareholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as
         their ownership of stock of the Company), is or becomes the "beneficial
         owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or
         indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 30% or more of
         the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities;

                  (ii) the shareholders of the Company approve a merger or
         consolidation of the Company with any other corporation or entity,
         OTHER THAN a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting
         securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto
         continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being
         converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than 80%
         of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or
         such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or
         consolidation; or

                  (iii) the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of
         complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or
         disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company's
         assets; or

                  (iv) the total combined voting power of the Company (or any
         successor entity) represented by shares of voting stock owned by
         members of the Controlling Shareholder Group is reduced to 30 percent
         or less.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Change in
         Control be deemed to have occurred, with respect to the Executive, if
         the Executive is part of a purchasing group which consummates a
         transaction causing a Change in Control. The Executive shall be deemed
         "part of a purchasing group" for purposes of the preceding sentence if
         the Executive is a direct or indirect equity participant in the
         purchasing company or group.

                  The "Controlling Shareholder Group" includes (i) George R.
         Wackenhut, (ii) the spouse and lineal descendants of George R.
         Wackenhut, (iii) any trust whose only beneficiaries are persons
         described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), and (iv) Affiliates of
         the persons described in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii). An
         "Affiliate" of a person includes only a corporation, limited liability
         company, partnership, or similar entity where all of the voting
         securities or ownership interests of said entity are directly owned by
         such person. A "person" includes any natural person and any
         corporation, limited liability company, partnership, trust or other
         entity.

3.       SPECIAL TERMINATION PAYMENT. For purposes of this Agreement, the
         "Special Termination Payment" shall mean an aggregate amount of money
         equal to the product of three (3) multiplied by the sum of the
         Executive's annual base salary as in effect at the time of the
         termination giving rise to the Special Termination Payment, or if
         greater the annual base salary in effect for the calendar year prior to
         the date of termination, plus the greater of (i) the annual bonus the
         Executive received during the preceding calendar year or (ii) the
         largest annual bonus the Executive would have received if his
         employment had not been terminated

                                        4

<PAGE>

         in the calendar year in which his employment was terminated assuming
         that all targets and incentives are met (regardless of actual results
         and criteria). In the event that the Company does not pay the Special
         Termination Payment by the due date specified in this Agreement, then
         the unpaid amount shall bear interest at the rate of 18 percent per
         annum, compounded monthly, until it is paid.

         a.       EQUALIZATION PAYMENT. If any of the Special Termination
                  Payment will be subject to the tax (the "Excise Tax") imposed
                  by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
                  amended (the "Code") (or any similar tax that may hereafter be
                  imposed), the Company shall also pay to the Executive in cash
                  an additional amount (the "Excise Tax Gross-up Payment") such
                  that the net amount retained by the Executive after deduction
                  from the Special Termination Payment and the Excise Tax
                  Gross-up Payment of any Excise Tax imposed upon the Special
                  Termination Payment and any federal, state local and other
                  taxes (including income taxes, payroll taxes, Excise Tax and
                  any other taxes) imposed upon the Excise Tax Gross-up Payment
                  shall be equal to the original amount of the Special
                  Termination Payment, prior to deduction of any Excise Tax
                  imposed with respect to the Special Termination Payment. The
                  Excise Tax Gross-up Payment is intended to place the Executive
                  in the same economic position he would have been in if the
                  Excise Tax did not apply. The Excise Tax Gross-up Payment
                  shall be paid to the Executive in full, at the time the
                  Special Termination Payment is paid pursuant to Section 1
                  hereof. For purposes of determining the Excise Tax Gross-up
                  Payment pursuant to this Section 3.a, the Special Termination
                  Payment shall also include any amounts which would be
                  considered "Parachute Payments" (within the meaning of Section
                  280G(b)(2) of the Code) to the Executive, including, but not
                  limited to, all items listed in Section 1 of this Agreement to
                  the extent that they are considered to be Parachute Payments
                  such that the Company will absorb the full cost of any Excise
                  Tax thereon and all taxes relating to the Company's absorption
                  of any Excise Taxes.

         b.       TAX RATES. For purposes of determining the amount of the
                  Excise Tax Gross-up Payment, the Executive shall be deemed to
                  pay Federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of
                  Federal income taxation in the calendar year in which the
                  Excise Tax Gross-up Payment is to be made, and state and local
                  income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the
                  state and locality of the Executive's residence on the date of
                  termination, net of the maximum reduction in Federal income
                  taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and
                  local taxes.

         c.       TAX CALCULATION. Simultaneously with the Company's payment of
                  the Special Termination Payment, the Company shall deliver to
                  the Executive a written statement specifying the total amount
                  of all payments provided for in this Agreement, together with
                  all supporting calculations. If the Executive disagrees with
                  the Company's calculation of any of said payments, the
                  Executive shall submit to the Company, no later than 30 days
                  after receipt of the Company's calculations, a written

                                        5

<PAGE>

                  notice advising the Company of the disagreement and setting
                  forth his calculation of said payments. The Executive's
                  failure to submit such notice within such period shall be
                  conclusively deemed to be an agreement by the Executive as to
                  the amount of said payments. If the Company agrees with the
                  Executive's calculations, it shall pay any shortfall to the
                  Executive within 20 days after receipt of such a notice from
                  the Executive, together with interest thereon accruing at the
                  rate of 18 percent per annum, compounded monthly, from the
                  original due date of the Special Termination Payment through
                  the actual date of payment of said shortfall. If the Company
                  does not agree with the Executive's calculations, it shall
                  provide the Executive with a written notice within 20 days
                  after the receipt of the Executive's calculations advising the
                  Executive that the disagreement is to be referred to an
                  independent accounting firm for resolution. Such disagreement
                  shall be referred to an independent "Big 5" accounting firm
                  which is not the regular accounting firm of the Company and
                  which is agreed to by the Company and the Executive within 10
                  days after issuance of the Company's notice of disagreement
                  (if the parties cannot agree on the identity of the accounting
                  firm which is to resolve the dispute, the accounting firm
                  shall be selected by means of a coin toss conducted in Palm
                  Beach County, Florida by counsel to the Executive on the first
                  business day after such 10 day period in such manner as such
                  counsel may specify). The accounting firm shall review all
                  information provided to it by the parties and submit a written
                  report setting forth its calculation of the amounts provided
                  for in this Agreement within 15 days after submission of the
                  matter to it, and such decision shall be final and binding on
                  all of the parties. The fees and expenses charged by said
                  accounting firm shall be paid by the Company. If the amount of
                  the payment actually paid by the Company was less than the
                  amount calculated by the accounting firm, the Company shall
                  pay the shortfall to the Executive within 5 days after the
                  accounting firm submits its written report, together with
                  interest thereon accruing at the rate of 18 percent per annum,
                  compounded monthly, from the original due date of the Special
                  Termination Payment through the actual date of payment of said
                  shortfall.

         d.       SUBSEQUENT RECALCULATION. In the event the Internal Revenue
                  Service imposes an Excise Tax that is greater than the Excise
                  Tax assumed for purposes of calculating the Excise Tax
                  Gross-up Payment, the Company shall reimburse the Executive
                  for the full amount necessary to make the Executive whole in
                  accordance with the principles set forth above, including any
                  interest and penalties which may be imposed.

4.       EXECUTIVE BENEFITS. The term "Executive Benefits" means all health,
         dental, disability, life insurance, retirement and fringe benefits or
         programs now or hereafter established by the Company which cover the
         Company's executives or its employees, and applicable family members
         and which are in effect on the date on which a Change in Control
         occurs. The term "Executive Benefits" also includes, for purposes of
         Section 3, the value of the items provided for in clauses (ii) and
         (iii) of the first sentence in Section 1.

                                        6

5.       NON-COMPETITION. In the event that Executive's employment is terminated
         pursuant to Section 1 hereof and Executive timely receives payment of
         the Special Termination Payment, Executive agrees that for a period of
         12 months after such termination of employment not to, directly or
         indirectly, own, manage, operate, control or participate in the
         ownership, management operation or control of, or be connected as an
         officer, employee, partner, director or otherwise with, or have any
         financial interest in, or aid or assist anyone else in the conduct of,
         any business (a "Competitive Operation") which competes with any
         business conducted by the Company, or by any group, division or
         subsidiary of the Company for which the Executive has had
         responsibility, in any area where such business is being conducted at
         the time of such termination. It is understood and agreed that, for the
         purposes of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5, no business
         which is conducted by the Company at the time of the Executive's
         termination and which subsequently is sold or discontinued by the
         Company shall be deemed to be a Competitive Operation within the
         meaning of this Section 5. Ownership of an amount not to exceed five
         percent (5%) of the voting stock of any publicly held corporation shall
         not constitute a violation hereof.

6.       RELEASE AND INDEMNITY. The Company hereby fully and forever releases,
         acquits, discharges and holds the Executive harmless from any and all,
         and all manner of, actions and causes of action, claims, suits, costs,
         debts, sums of money, claims and demands, presently known or unknown,
         whatsoever in law or equity or otherwise, which the Company ever had,
         now has or may now have, or will have in the future, by reason of any
         matter, cause or thing whatsoever, from the beginning of the world and
         all times thereafter. The preceding sentence does not apply to any
         matters, events, actions, claims, damages or losses arising from, in
         connection with or relating to (i) any intentional illegal conduct of
         the Executive, or (ii) conduct of the Executive after the Executive
         ceases to be employed by the Company. The Company at all times shall
         indemnify, save harmless and reimburse the Executive, from and against
         any and all demands, claims, liabilities, losses, actions, suits or
         proceedings, or other expenses, fees, or charges of any character or
         nature, which the Executive may incur or with which they may be
         threatened with, arising from, in connection with, relating to or
         arising as a result of Executive's employment by the Company or any
         other relationship that the Executive has with the Company as an
         officer, director, agent shareholder or otherwise, including without
         limitation settlement costs and attorneys' fees and court costs at
         trial and appellate levels which the Executive may incur in connection
         with settling, defending against or resisting any of the foregoing. The
         Company shall pay to the Executive any amounts due with respect to said
         indemnity within 5 business days after the Executive issues a written
         demand therefor to the Company. The provisions of this section are an
         expansion of any rights that the Executive may have with respect to the
         subject matter, and no other agreement or arrangement which the Company
         may have that benefits the Executive with respect to the subject matter
         hereof shall be superseded or limited in any way as a result of the
         parties entering into this Agreement.

7.       EXAMPLES. The operation of this Agreement is illustrated by the example
         set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. Said example is not intended to
         limit the manner in which amounts payable hereunder are to be
         calculated. If other tax rates, taxes or other charges are applicable,
         the calculations shall be adjusted to achieve the same economic result
         to the Executive such that the Executive receives all payments under
         this Agreement free of costs represented by Excise Taxes or any taxes
         relating to the absorption by the Company of Excise Taxes, and also
         such that the Annuity Funding Amount is received free not only of
         Excise Taxes, but also of all other taxes arising with respect to the
         Annuity Funding Amount and the absorption by the Company of all such
         taxes. The assumptions set forth in the said example are for
         illustrative purposes only, and have no relationship to the actual
         amounts that may apply under this Agreement.

8.       NOTICES. Notices and all other communications contemplated by this
         Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly
         given when received at the address specified herein. In the case of
         Executive, notices shall be delivered to him at the home address which
         he has most recently communicated to the Company in writing. In the
         case of the Company, notices shall be delivered to the Company's
         corporate headquarters, and all notices shall be directed to the
         attention of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, with a copy to the
         Company's General Counsel.

9.       NO MITIGATION. Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount
         of any payment or benefit contemplated by this Agreement upon his
         termination of employment (whether by seeking new employment or in any
         other manner), nor shall any such payment or benefit be reduced by any
         earnings or benefits that Executive may receive from any other source.

10.      MODIFICATION AND WAIVER. This Agreement shall not be canceled,
         rescinded or revoked, nor may any provision of this Agreement be
         modified, waived or discharged unless the cancellation, rescission,
         revocation, modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in writing
         and signed by Executive and by the President or Chairman of the Board
         of the Company. No waiver by either party of any breach of, or of
         compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement by the
         other party shall be considered a waiver of any other condition or
         provision or of the same condition or provision at another time.

11.      COMPLETE AGREEMENT. This Agreement supersedes all previous severance
         agreements entered into by Executive and the Company, including the
         Executive Severance Agreement entered into between the parties in the
         year 2000. Except as specifically provided in Section 1 of this
         Agreement, this Agreement does not affect any deferred compensation
         agreements, non-qualified retirement plans, or any other agreements
         entered into by the parties.

12.      NO ASSIGNMENT. No right, benefit or interest hereunder, shall be
         subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, encumbrance,
         charge, pledge, hypothecation, or set-off in respect of any claim, debt
         or obligation, or to execution, attachment, levy or similar process, or
         assignment by operation of law. Any attempt, voluntary or involuntary,
         to effect any

                                        8

<PAGE>

         action specified in the immediately preceding sentence shall, to the
         full extent permitted by law, be null, void and of no effect. This
         Agreement is binding on all successors of the Company, whether by
         merger, consolidation, purchase or otherwise, and all references to the
         Company shall also include references to any such successor.

13.      GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and
         enforced in accordance with and subject to, the laws of the State of
         Florida applicable to Agreements made and to be performed entirely
         within such State, as to all matters governed by state law or, if
         controlling, by applicable federal law.

14.      SEVERABILITY. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or
         provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or
         enforceability of any other provision hereof, which shall remain in
         full force and effect.

15.      LITIGATION; VENUE. Any action at law or in equity under this Agreement
         shall be brought in the courts of Palm Beach County, Florida, and in no
         other court (whether or not jurisdiction can be established in another
         court). Each party hereto waives the right to argue that venue is not
         appropriate in the courts of Palm Beach County, Florida.

16.      EXPENSES. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for all legal
         and/or accounting expenses he incurs in connection with the execution,
         delivery and enforcement of his rights under this Agreement.

17.      WITHHOLDING. All payments made pursuant to this Agreement will be
         subject to withholding of applicable taxes.

18.      COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
         counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all
         of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

               AMENDED AND RESTATED EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

         THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE AGREEMENT ("Agreement")
is made and entered into as of this 21st day of November, 2001, by and between
The Wackenhut Corporation, a Florida corporation, its successor or successors,
(hereinafter referred to as the "Company") and Sandra L. Nusbaum (hereinafter
referred to as the "Executive").

         The Executive is a key executive of the Company, and the Company
desires to provide the Executive with an incentive to remain with the Company if
concerns arise over a possible change in control.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and
valuable consideration, the Company and the Executive agree as follows:

1.       TERMINATION OF EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT. (a) PAYMENTS AND BENEFITS. If the
         Executive ceases to be employed by the Company for any reason
         (including the delivery of a written resignation to the Company by the
         Executive or her authorized representative on the Executive's or her
         estate's behalf) at any time during the 12 month period commencing on
         the date on which a Change in Control (as defined in Section 2 below)
         occurs, then (i) the Company shall pay the Special Termination Payment
         (as defined in Section 3 below) to the Executive (or her estate) within
         ten days after said termination, (ii) all awards granted pursuant to
         The Wackenhut Corporation Employee Long-Term Incentive Stock Plan and
         any other unvested stock options or other interests the Executive holds
         in the Company's stock or the stock of a subsidiary of the Company
         shall become fully vested, all restrictions on restricted stock units
         shall lapse, and all performance targets with respect to performance
         units or shares will be deemed to have been met as of the date the
         Executive's employment is terminated, (iii) the Company shall transfer
         all of its interest in any automobile used by the Executive pursuant to
         The Wackenhut Corporation Executive Automobile Policy (the "Executive
         Automobile Policy") and shall pay the balance of any outstanding loans
         or leases on such automobile (whether such obligations are those of the
         Executive or the Company) so that the Executive owns the automobile
         outright (in the event such automobile is leased, the Company shall pay
         the residual cost of such lease), (iv) the Company shall pay to the
         Executive, within ten days after said termination, an amount equal to
         the Deferred Compensation Payoff Amount defined below in full
         satisfaction of the Company's obligations under that certain Amended
         and Restated Senior Officer Retirement/Deferred Compensation Agreement
         between the Company and the Executive (the "Deferred Compensation
         Agreement"), (v) the Company shall continue to provide the Executive
         (and if applicable, her beneficiaries) with the Executive Benefits (as
         described in Section 4), at no cost to the Executive in no less than
         the same amount and, on the same terms and conditions as in effect on
         the date on which the Change of Control occurs for a period of 3 years
         after the date of termination of the Executive's employment with the
         Company, regardless of the cost to the Company, or, alternatively, if
         the Executive (or her estate) elects at any time in a written notice
         delivered to the Company to waive any particular Executive

<PAGE>

         Benefits, the Company shall make a cash payment to the Executive within
         ten days after receipt of such election in an amount equal to the
         present value of the Company's cost of providing such Executive
         Benefits from the date of such election to the end of the foregoing
         3-year period, and such present value shall be determined by reference
         to the Company's then-current cost levels and a discount rate equal to
         120 percent of the short-term applicable Federal rate provided for in
         Section 1274(d) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") for the month
         in which the Change in Control occurs; and (vi) the Company shall pay
         to the Executive, within 10 days after said termination, an amount
         equal to the sum of (a) the dollar value of vacation time that would
         have been credited to the Executive pursuant to the Company's Vacation
         Policy dated August 1, 1997, Number HR 350 (the "Vacation Policy") if
         the Executive had remained employed by the Company through the
         "Anniversary Date" (as defined in the Vacation Policy) immediately
         following her termination of employment, multiplied by a fraction, the
         numerator of which is the number of days which elapsed from the
         Executive's Anniversary Date immediately preceding the date of
         termination through the date of such termination, and the denominator
         of which is 365, plus (b) the dollar value of vacation time which the
         Executive was entitled to have taken immediately prior to the
         Executive's termination, which was not in fact taken by the Executive;
         the dollar value of vacation time referred to above shall be equal to
         the amount which would have been paid to the Executive by the Company
         during such vacation time had the vacation time in fact been taken by
         the Executive immediately prior to the Executive's termination.

                  (b)      RULES AND DEFINITIONS.

                           (1) If the Executive dies during the 3-year period
                  contemplated by clause (v) of the foregoing paragraph (a), the
                  Company shall provide the Executive Benefits, to the extent
                  applicable, to the Executive's estate, or make any applicable
                  cash payments in lieu thereof to said estate. The Executive
                  shall be deemed to be employed by the Company if the Executive
                  is employed by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company in
                  which the Company owns a majority of the subsidiary's voting
                  securities. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to
                  the contrary, subsequent reemployment of the Executive by the
                  Company or any successor of the Company following a Change in
                  Control will not cause the Executive to forfeit any
                  compensation or benefits provided in this Agreement.

                           (2) The "Deferred Compensation Payoff Amount" is the
                  sum of (i) an amount which will be sufficient to allow the
                  Executive to purchase an annuity policy issued by a life
                  insurance company which has the highest ratings from
                  independent rating agencies (such as Standard & Poor's or A.M.
                  Best) which will provide after-tax benefits in amounts which
                  are at least equal to the after-tax benefits the Executive
                  would have received had the Company paid the deferred
                  compensation benefits to the Executive pursuant to the
                  Deferred Compensation Agreement, with payments commencing no
                  later than 30 days after the issuance of said annuity and at
                  the same intervals as provided for in the Deferred
                  Compensation Agreement (the "Annuity

                                        2

<PAGE>

                  Funding Amount"), plus (ii) the Deferred Compensation Gross-up
                  Payment defined below. The Deferred Compensation Gross-up
                  Payment is an amount which will cause the remainder of the
                  Deferred Compensation Payoff Amount minus all Applicable Taxes
                  (defined below) applicable to the Executive as a result of
                  payment of the Deferred Compensation Payoff Amount, to be
                  equal to the Annuity Funding Amount prior to deduction of any
                  Applicable Taxes imposed with respect to the Annuity Funding
                  Amount."Applicable Taxes" means all federal, state, local and
                  other taxes, including income taxes, payroll taxes, and any
                  other taxes, but not including any Excise Tax which is the
                  subject of Section 3.a of this Agreement. The Deferred
                  Compensation Gross-up Payment is intended to place the
                  Executive in the same economic position with respect to the
                  Annuity Funding Amount that the Executive would have been in
                  if the Applicable Taxes did not apply. For purposes of
                  determining after-tax benefits referred to in the definition
                  of the Annuity Funding Amount above, the taxes to be taken
                  into account shall be all applicable federal taxes assuming
                  that the Executive is subject to taxation at the highest
                  marginal rates. The payment of the Excise Tax Gross-up Payment
                  provided for in Section 3.a, if applicable, shall be in
                  addition to the Deferred Compensation Gross-up Payment
                  referred to above. Upon payment of the Deferred Compensation
                  Payoff Amount, the Company shall have no further obligation to
                  make payments with respect to the Deferred Compensation
                  Agreement.

                           (3) With respect to any Executive Benefits which are
                  health benefits subject to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget
                  Reconciliation Act of 1985 ("COBRA") ("Health Benefits") and
                  for which continuation coverage under COBRA is elected by the
                  Participant (at the Participant's expense), the Company shall
                  provide the Executive with the Health Benefits (at its
                  expense) contemplated by clause (v) of the foregoing paragraph
                  (a) for a 3-year period beginning on the date continuation
                  coverage under COBRA ends, provided that the Executive (or
                  Executive's estate) does not elect to waive the Health Benefit
                  in lieu of a cash payment as provided in clause (v) of the
                  foregoing paragraph (a). If the Executive makes the election
                  to receive the present value of said Executive Benefits under
                  clause (v) of paragraph (a), the present value of Executive
                  Benefits which are Health Benefits shall not be affected by
                  any COBRA coverage, and this shall not impair the Executive's
                  right to elect COBRA continuation as contemplated above.

2.       CHANGE IN CONTROL. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Change in
         Control" shall be deemed to have occurred as of the first day that any
         one or more of the following conditions shall have been satisfied:

                  (i) any "person" as such term is used in Section 13(d) and
         14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (the "Exchange Act")
         (other than members of the Controlling Shareholder Group, the Company,
         any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under any employee
         benefit plan of the Company, or any company owned, directly or
         indirectly, by the

                                        3

<PAGE>

         shareholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as
         their ownership of stock of the Company), is or becomes the "beneficial
         owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or
         indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 30% or more of
         the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities;

                  (ii) the shareholders of the Company approve a merger or
         consolidation of the Company with any other corporation or entity,
         OTHER THAN a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting
         securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto
         continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being
         converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than 80%
         of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or
         such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or
         consolidation; or

                  (iii) the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of
         complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or
         disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company's
         assets; or

                  (iv) the total combined voting power of the Company (or any
         successor entity) represented by shares of voting stock owned by
         members of the Controlling Shareholder Group is reduced to 30 percent
         or less.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Change in
         Control be deemed to have occurred, with respect to the Executive, if
         the Executive is part of a purchasing group which consummates a
         transaction causing a Change in Control. The Executive shall be deemed
         "part of a purchasing group" for purposes of the preceding sentence if
         the Executive is a direct or indirect equity participant in the
         purchasing company or group.

                  The "Controlling Shareholder Group" includes (i) George R.
         Wackenhut, (ii) the spouse and lineal descendants of George R.
         Wackenhut, (iii) any trust whose only beneficiaries are persons
         described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), and (iv) Affiliates of
         the persons described in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii). An
         "Affiliate" of a person includes only a corporation, limited liability
         company, partnership, or similar entity where all of the voting
         securities or ownership interests of said entity are directly owned by
         such person. A "person" includes any natural person and any
         corporation, limited liability company, partnership, trust or other
         entity.

3.       SPECIAL TERMINATION PAYMENT. For purposes of this Agreement, the
         "Special Termination Payment" shall mean an aggregate amount of money
         equal to the product of three (3) multiplied by the sum of the
         Executive's annual base salary as in effect at the time of the
         termination giving rise to the Special Termination Payment, or if
         greater the annual base salary in effect for the calendar year prior to
         the date of termination, plus the greater of (i) the annual bonus the
         Executive received during the preceding calendar year or (ii) the
         largest annual bonus the Executive would have received if her
         employment had not been terminated

                                        4

<PAGE>

         in the calendar year in which her employment was terminated assuming
         that all targets and incentives are met (regardless of actual results
         and criteria). In the event that the Company does not pay the Special
         Termination Payment by the due date specified in this Agreement, then
         the unpaid amount shall bear interest at the rate of 18 percent per
         annum, compounded monthly, until it is paid.

         a.       EQUALIZATION PAYMENT. If any of the Special Termination
                  Payment will be subject to the tax (the "Excise Tax") imposed
                  by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
                  amended (the "Code") (or any similar tax that may hereafter be
                  imposed), the Company shall also pay to the Executive in cash
                  an additional amount (the "Excise Tax Gross-up Payment") such
                  that the net amount retained by the Executive after deduction
                  from the Special Termination Payment and the Excise Tax
                  Gross-up Payment of any Excise Tax imposed upon the Special
                  Termination Payment and any federal, state local and other
                  taxes (including income taxes, payroll taxes, Excise Tax and
                  any other taxes) imposed upon the Excise Tax Gross-up Payment
                  shall be equal to the original amount of the Special
                  Termination Payment, prior to deduction of any Excise Tax
                  imposed with respect to the Special Termination Payment. The
                  Excise Tax Gross-up Payment is intended to place the Executive
                  in the same economic position she would have been in if the
                  Excise Tax did not apply. The Excise Tax Gross-up Payment
                  shall be paid to the Executive in full, at the time the
                  Special Termination Payment is paid pursuant to Section 1
                  hereof. For purposes of determining the Excise Tax Gross-up
                  Payment pursuant to this Section 3.a, the Special Termination
                  Payment shall also include any amounts which would be
                  considered "Parachute Payments" (within the meaning of Section
                  280G(b)(2) of the Code) to the Executive, including, but not
                  limited to, all items listed in Section 1 of this Agreement to
                  the extent that they are considered to be Parachute Payments
                  such that the Company will absorb the full cost of any Excise
                  Tax thereon and all taxes relating to the Company's absorption
                  of any Excise Taxes.

         b.       TAX RATES. For purposes of determining the amount of the
                  Excise Tax Gross-up Payment, the Executive shall be deemed to
                  pay Federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of
                  Federal income taxation in the calendar year in which the
                  Excise Tax Gross-up Payment is to be made, and state and local
                  income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the
                  state and locality of the Executive's residence on the date of
                  termination, net of the maximum reduction in Federal income
                  taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and
                  local taxes.

         c.       TAX CALCULATION. Simultaneously with the Company's payment of
                  the Special Termination Payment, the Company shall deliver to
                  the Executive a written statement specifying the total amount
                  of all payments provided for in this Agreement, together with
                  all supporting calculations. If the Executive disagrees with
                  the Company's calculation of any of said payments, the
                  Executive shall submit to the Company, no later than 30 days
                  after receipt of the Company's calculations, a written

                                        5

<PAGE>

                  notice advising the Company of the disagreement and setting
                  forth her calculation of said payments. The Executive's
                  failure to submit such notice within such period shall be
                  conclusively deemed to be an agreement by the Executive as to
                  the amount of said payments. If the Company agrees with the
                  Executive's calculations, it shall pay any shortfall to the
                  Executive within 20 days after receipt of such a notice from
                  the Executive, together with interest thereon accruing at the
                  rate of 18 percent per annum, compounded monthly, from the
                  original due date of the Special Termination Payment through
                  the actual date of payment of said shortfall. If the Company
                  does not agree with the Executive's calculations, it shall
                  provide the Executive with a written notice within 20 days
                  after the receipt of the Executive's calculations advising the
                  Executive that the disagreement is to be referred to an
                  independent accounting firm for resolution. Such disagreement
                  shall be referred to an independent "Big 5" accounting firm
                  which is not the regular accounting firm of the Company and
                  which is agreed to by the Company and the Executive within 10
                  days after issuance of the Company's notice of disagreement
                  (if the parties cannot agree on the identity of the accounting
                  firm which is to resolve the dispute, the accounting firm
                  shall be selected by means of a coin toss conducted in Palm
                  Beach County, Florida by counsel to the Executive on the first
                  business day after such 10 day period in such manner as such
                  counsel may specify). The accounting firm shall review all
                  information provided to it by the parties and submit a written
                  report setting forth its calculation of the amounts provided
                  for in this Agreement within 15 days after submission of the
                  matter to it, and such decision shall be final and binding on
                  all of the parties. The fees and expenses charged by said
                  accounting firm shall be paid by the Company. If the amount of
                  the payment actually paid by the Company was less than the
                  amount calculated by the accounting firm, the Company shall
                  pay the shortfall to the Executive within 5 days after the
                  accounting firm submits its written report, together with
                  interest thereon accruing at the rate of 18 percent per annum,
                  compounded monthly, from the original due date of the Special
                  Termination Payment through the actual date of payment of said
                  shortfall.

         d.       SUBSEQUENT RECALCULATION. In the event the Internal Revenue
                  Service imposes an Excise Tax that is greater than the Excise
                  Tax assumed for purposes of calculating the Excise Tax
                  Gross-up Payment, the Company shall reimburse the Executive
                  for the full amount necessary to make the Executive whole in
                  accordance with the principles set forth above, including any
                  interest and penalties which may be imposed.

4.       EXECUTIVE BENEFITS. The term "Executive Benefits" means all health,
         dental, disability, life insurance, retirement and fringe benefits or
         programs now or hereafter established by the Company which cover the
         Company's executives or its employees, and applicable family members
         and which are in effect on the date on which a Change in Control
         occurs. The term "Executive Benefits" also includes, for purposes of
         Section 3, the value of the items provided for in clauses (ii) and
         (iii) of the first sentence in Section 1.

                                        6

5.       NON-COMPETITION. In the event that Executive's employment is terminated
         pursuant to Section 1 hereof and Executive timely receives payment of
         the Special Termination Payment, Executive agrees that for a period of
         12 months after such termination of employment not to, directly or
         indirectly, own, manage, operate, control or participate in the
         ownership, management operation or control of, or be connected as an
         officer, employee, partner, director or otherwise with, or have any
         financial interest in, or aid or assist anyone else in the conduct of,
         any business (a "Competitive Operation") which competes with any
         business conducted by the Company, or by any group, division or
         subsidiary of the Company for which the Executive has had
         responsibility, in any area where such business is being conducted at
         the time of such termination. It is understood and agreed that, for the
         purposes of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5, no business
         which is conducted by the Company at the time of the Executive's
         termination and which subsequently is sold or discontinued by the
         Company shall be deemed to be a Competitive Operation within the
         meaning of this Section 5. Ownership of an amount not to exceed five
         percent (5%) of the voting stock of any publicly held corporation shall
         not constitute a violation hereof.

6.       RELEASE AND INDEMNITY. The Company hereby fully and forever releases,
         acquits, discharges and holds the Executive harmless from any and all,
         and all manner of, actions and causes of action, claims, suits, costs,
         debts, sums of money, claims and demands, presently known or unknown,
         whatsoever in law or equity or otherwise, which the Company ever had,
         now has or may now have, or will have in the future, by reason of any
         matter, cause or thing whatsoever, from the beginning of the world and
         all times thereafter. The preceding sentence does not apply to any
         matters, events, actions, claims, damages or losses arising from, in
         connection with or relating to (i) any intentional illegal conduct of
         the Executive, or (ii) conduct of the Executive after the Executive
         ceases to be employed by the Company. The Company at all times shall
         indemnify, save harmless and reimburse the Executive, from and against
         any and all demands, claims, liabilities, losses, actions, suits or
         proceedings, or other expenses, fees, or charges of any character or
         nature, which the Executive may incur or with which they may be
         threatened with, arising from, in connection with, relating to or
         arising as a result of Executive's employment by the Company or any
         other relationship that the Executive has with the Company as an
         officer, director, agent shareholder or otherwise, including without
         limitation settlement costs and attorneys' fees and court costs at
         trial and appellate levels which the Executive may incur in connection
         with settling, defending against or resisting any of the foregoing. The
         Company shall pay to the Executive any amounts due with respect to said
         indemnity within 5 business days after the Executive issues a written
         demand therefor to the Company. The provisions of this section are an
         expansion of any rights that the Executive may have with respect to the
         subject matter, and no other agreement or arrangement which the Company
         may have that benefits the Executive with respect to the subject matter
         hereof shall be superseded or limited in any way as a result of the
         parties entering into this Agreement.

7.       EXAMPLES. The operation of this Agreement is illustrated by the example
         set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. Said example is not intended to
         limit the manner in which amounts payable hereunder are to be
         calculated. If other tax rates, taxes or other charges are applicable,
         the calculations shall be adjusted to achieve the same economic result
         to the Executive such that the Executive receives all payments under
         this Agreement free of costs represented by Excise Taxes or any taxes
         relating to the absorption by the Company of Excise Taxes, and also
         such that the Annuity Funding Amount is received free not only of
         Excise Taxes, but also of all other taxes arising with respect to the
         Annuity Funding Amount and the absorption by the Company of all such
         taxes. The assumptions set forth in the said example are for
         illustrative purposes only, and have no relationship to the actual
         amounts that may apply under this Agreement.

8.       NOTICES. Notices and all other communications contemplated by this
         Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly
         given when received at the address specified herein. In the case of
         Executive, notices shall be delivered to him at the home address which
         she has most recently communicated to the Company in writing. In the
         case of the Company, notices shall be delivered to the Company's
         corporate headquarters, and all notices shall be directed to the
         attention of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, with a copy to the
         Company's General Counsel.

9.       NO MITIGATION. Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount
         of any payment or benefit contemplated by this Agreement upon her
         termination of employment (whether by seeking new employment or in any
         other manner), nor shall any such payment or benefit be reduced by any
         earnings or benefits that Executive may receive from any other source.

10.      MODIFICATION AND WAIVER. This Agreement shall not be canceled,
         rescinded or revoked, nor may any provision of this Agreement be
         modified, waived or discharged unless the cancellation, rescission,
         revocation, modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in writing
         and signed by Executive and by the President or Chairman of the Board
         of the Company. No waiver by either party of any breach of, or of
         compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement by the
         other party shall be considered a waiver of any other condition or
         provision or of the same condition or provision at another time.

11.      COMPLETE AGREEMENT. This Agreement supersedes all previous severance
         agreements entered into by Executive and the Company, including the
         Executive Severance Agreement entered into between the parties in the
         year 2000. Except as specifically provided in Section 1 of this
         Agreement, this Agreement does not affect any deferred compensation
         agreements, non-qualified retirement plans, or any other agreements
         entered into by the parties.

12.      NO ASSIGNMENT. No right, benefit or interest hereunder, shall be
         subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, encumbrance,
         charge, pledge, hypothecation, or set-off in respect of any claim, debt
         or obligation, or to execution, attachment, levy or similar process, or
         assignment by operation of law. Any attempt, voluntary or involuntary,
         to effect any

                                        8

<PAGE>

         action specified in the immediately preceding sentence shall, to the
         full extent permitted by law, be null, void and of no effect. This
         Agreement is binding on all successors of the Company, whether by
         merger, consolidation, purchase or otherwise, and all references to the
         Company shall also include references to any such successor.

13.      GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and
         enforced in accordance with and subject to, the laws of the State of
         Florida applicable to Agreements made and to be performed entirely
         within such State, as to all matters governed by state law or, if
         controlling, by applicable federal law.

14.      SEVERABILITY. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or
         provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or
         enforceability of any other provision hereof, which shall remain in
         full force and effect.

15.      LITIGATION; VENUE. Any action at law or in equity under this Agreement
         shall be brought in the courts of Palm Beach County, Florida, and in no
         other court (whether or not jurisdiction can be established in another
         court). Each party hereto waives the right to argue that venue is not
         appropriate in the courts of Palm Beach County, Florida.

16.      EXPENSES. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for all legal
         and/or accounting expenses she incurs in connection with the execution,
         delivery and enforcement of her rights under this Agreement.

17.      WITHHOLDING. All payments made pursuant to this Agreement will be
         subject to withholding of applicable taxes.

18.      COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
         counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all
         of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

                                    EXHIBIT A
                                   Page 1 of 2

         This example assumes the following:

         (i) the Special Termination Payment in Section 1(a)(i)is $1.1 million;

         (ii) the Annuity Funding Amount provided for in Section 1(b)(2) is $2
million;

         (iii) the combined value of the benefits set forth in clauses (ii),
(iii), (v) and (vi) of Section 1(a) for purposes of Code Section 280G is
$100,000;

         (iv) all payments under this Agreement are "parachute payments" under
Code Section 280G(b)(2)(A);

         (v) the Executive's base amount under Code Section  280G(b)(3)(A) is
$300,000;

         (vi) the present value of the deferred compensation payments due to the
Executive pursuant to the Deferred Compensation Agreement for purposes of Code
Section 280G is $1,800,000; and

         (vii) payments made to the Executive under this Agreement are subject
to a maximum federal income tax rate under Code section 1 of 39.1%, a payroll
tax under Code section 3101 of 1.45%, and an excise tax under Code section 4999
of 20%, and no other taxes are applicable.

         Under these assumptions, the Deferred Compensation Gross-up Payment
under Section 1(b)(2) of the Agreement is $1,364,171.57, the Deferred

to Article 12 herein, until all Shares subject to it shall have been purchased
or acquired according to the Plan's provisions. However, in no event may an
Award be granted under the Plan on or after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the
Plan's Effective Date.

Compensation Committee of the Board, or by any other Committee appointed by the
Board consisting of not less than two (2) Directors who are not Employees. The
members of the Committee shall be appointed from time to time by, and shall
serve at the discretion of, the Board of Directors. No member of the Committee

subject to ratification by the Board, the Committee shall have full power to
select Key Employees to whom Awards are granted; to determine the size and types
of Awards; to determine the terms and conditions of such Awards in a manner

or instrument entered into under the Plan; to establish, amend, or waive rules
and regulations for the Plan's administration; and (subject to the provisions of
Article 11 herein) to amend the terms and conditions of any outstanding Award to

Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan and all related orders or
resolutions of the Board of Directors shall be final, conclusive and binding on
all Persons, including the Company, its stockholders, employees, Participants,

         3.4 PROCEDURES OF THE COMMITTEE. All determinations of the Committee
shall be made by not less than a majority of its members present at the meeting
(in person or otherwise) at which a quorum is present. A majority of the entire
Committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Any action
required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Committee may be taken
without a meeting if a unanimous written consent, which sets forth the action,
is signed by each member of the Committee and filed with the minutes for
proceedings of the Committee. No member of the Committee shall be liable, in the
absence of bad faith, for any act or omission with respect to his or her
services on the Committee. Service on the Committee shall constitute service as
a Director of the Company so that members of the Committee shall be entitled to
indemnification (as provided in Article 14 herein), and limitation of liability
and reimbursement with respect to their services as members of the Committee to
the same extent as for services as Directors of the Company.

         3.5 AWARD AGREEMENTS. Each Award under the Plan shall be evidenced by
an award agreement which shall be signed by an officer of the Company and by the
Participant, and shall contain such terms and conditions as may be approved by
the Committee, which need not be the same in all cases. Any award agreement may
be supplemented or amended in writing from time to time as approved by the
Committee, provided that the terms of such agreements as amended or
supplemented, as well as the terms of the original award agreement, are not
inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan.

            ARTICLE 4. SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN AND MAXIMUM AWARDS

         4.1 NUMBER OF SHARES AVAILABLE FOR GRANT. Subject to adjustment as
provided in Section 4.2 herein, the number of Shares hereby reserved for
issuance to Participants under the Plan shall be three million one hundred and
thirty five thousand eight hundred and forty four (3,135,844). The Board shall
determine the appropriate methodology for calculating the number of Shares
issued pursuant to the Plan. Unless and until the Board determines that an Award
to a Covered Employee shall not be designed to comply with the Performance-Based
Exception, the following rules shall apply to grants of such Awards under the
Plan:

         (a)      Stock Options. The maximum aggregate number of Shares that may
                  be granted in the form of Stock Options, pursuant to any Award
                  granted in any one fiscal year to any one single Participant,
                  shall be one hundred thousand (100,000).

         (b)      Performance Shares/Performance Units. The maximum aggregate
                  payout (determined as of the end of the applicable performance
                  period) with respect to Awards of Performance Shares or
                  Performance Units granted in any one fiscal year to any one
                  Participant shall be equal to the value of fifty thousand
                  (50,000) Shares.

                                       6
<PAGE>

         4.2 LAPSED AWARDS. If any Award granted under this Plan terminates,
expires, or lapses for any reason, any Shares subject to such Award again shall
be available for the grant of an Award under the Plan.

         4.3 ADJUSTMENTS IN AUTHORIZED SHARES. In the event of any merger,
reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, separation, liquidation, Stock
dividend, split-up, Share combination, or other change in the corporate
structure of the Company affecting the Shares, such adjustment shall be made in
the number and class of Shares which may be delivered under Section 4.1
(including such single Participant limits), and in the number and class of
and/or price of Shares subject to outstanding Options, Restricted Stock Units,
Performance Units, and Performance Shares granted under the Plan, as may be
determined to be appropriate and equitable by the Committee, in its sole
discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargements of rights; and provided that the
number of Shares subject to any Award shall always be a whole number. Any
adjustment of an ISO under this paragraph shall be made in such a manner so as
not to constitute a "modification" within the meaning of Section 425(h)(3) of
the Code.

                    ARTICLE 5. ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION

         5.1 ELIGIBILITY. Persons eligible to participate in this Plan include
all Employees of the Company, who, in the opinion of members of the Committee,
are Key Employees. "Key Employees" may include Employees who are members of the
Board, but may not include Directors who are not Employees.

         5.2 ACTUAL PARTICIPATION. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the
Committee may, from time to time, select from Key Employees those to whom Awards
shall be granted and shall determine the nature and amount of each Award. No
Employee shall have any right to be granted an Award under this Plan.

                            ARTICLE 6. STOCK OPTIONS

         6.1 GRANT OF OPTIONS. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan,
Options may be granted to Key Employees at any time and from time to time, as
shall be determined by the Committee. The Committee shall have complete
discretion in determining the number o Shares subject to Options granted to each
Participant. The Committee may grant ISOs, NQSOs, or a combination thereof.
However, no Employee may receive an Award of ISOs that are first exercisable
during any calendar year to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of
the shares (determined at the time the options are granted) exceeds $100,000.
Nothing in this Article 6 shall be deemed to prevent the grant of NQSOs in
excess of the maximum established by Section 422A of the Code.

         6.2 OPTION AGREEMENT. Each Option grant shall be evidenced by an Option
Agreement that shall specify the Option Price, the duration of the Option, the
number of Shares to which the Option pertains, and such other provisions as the
Committee shall determine. The Option Agreement also shall specify whether the
Option is intended to be an ISO within the meaning of Section 422A of the Code,
or a NQSO whose grant is intended not to fall under the Code provisions of
Section 422A.

                                       7
<PAGE>

         6.3 OPTION PRICE. The purchase price per Share covered by an Option
shall be determined BY THE COMMITTEE, but, in the case of an ISO, shall not be
less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such Share on the date the Option is
granted.

         An ISO granted to an employee who, at the time of grant, owns (Within
the meaning of Section 425 (d) of the Code) Shares possessing more than 10% of
the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, shall
have an exercise price which is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the
Shares subject to the Option.

         6.4 DURATION OF OPTIONS. Each Option shall expire at such time as the
Committee shall determine at the time of grant provided, however, that no ISO
shall be exercisable later than the tenth (10th) anniversary date of its grant.

         6.5 EXERCISE OF OPTIONS. Options granted under the Plan shall be
exercisable at such times and be subject to such restrictions and conditions as
the Committee shall in each instance approve, which need not be the same for
each grant or for each Participant.

         6.6 PAYMENT. Options shall be exercised by the delivery of a written
notice of exercise to the Secretary of the Company, setting forth the number of
Shares with respect to which the Option is to be exercised, accompanied by full
payment for the Shares.

         The Option Price upon exercise of any Option shall be payable to the
Company in full either (a) in cash or its equivalent, or (b) by tendering
previously acquired Shares having a Fair Market Value at the time of exercise
equal to the total Option Price (provided that the Shares which are tendered
must have been held by the Participant for at least six (6) months prior to
their tender to satisfy the Option Price), or (c) by a combination of (a) or
(b).

         The Committee also may allow cashless exercise as permitted under
Federal Reserve Board's Regulation T, subject to applicable securities law
restrictions, or by any other means which the Committee determines to be
consistent with the Plan's purpose and applicable law. The proceeds from such a
payment shall be added to the general funds of the Company and shall be used for
general corporate purposes.

         As soon as practicable after receipt of a written notification of
exercise and full payment, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, in the
Participant's name, Share certificates in an appropriate amount based upon the
number of Options exercised.

         6.7 RESTRICTIONS ON SHARE TRANSFERABILITY. The Committee shall impose
such restrictions on any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option
under the Plan, as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation,
restrictions under applicable Federal securities laws, under the requirements of
any Stock exchange or market upon which such Shares are then listed and/or
traded, and under any blue sky or state securities laws applicable to such
Shares.

         6.8 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT DUE TO DEATH, DISABILITY OR RETIREMENT.
In the event the employment of a Participant is terminated by reason of death or

                                       8
<PAGE>

disability, any outstanding Options shall become immediately exercisable at any
time prior to the expiration date of the Options or within one year after such
date of termination of employment, whichever period is shorter, by such person
or persons as shall have acquired the Participant's rights under the Option by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

         In the event the employment of a Participant is terminated by reason of
retirement (as defined under the then established rules of the Company's
nonqualified retirement plan), any outstanding Options shall become immediately
exercisable at any time prior to the expiration date of the options.

         In its sole discretion, and prior to the termination of the employment
due to death, disability or retirement, the Committee may extend the period
during which outstanding Options may be exercised.

         In the case of ISOs, the tax treatment prescribed under Section 422A of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, may not be available if the
Options are not exercised within the Section 422A prescribed time period after
termination of employment.

         6.9 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT FOR OTHER REASONS. If the employment of
the Participant shall terminate for any reason other than for death, disability,
retirement or for Cause, the Participant shall have the right to exercise
Options that were vested in the Participant at the date of termination within
the 90 days after the date of termination but in no event beyond the expiration
of the term of the Option and only to the extent that the Participant was
entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination of employment. The
Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to extend the 90 days up
to the expiration date of the Options.

         If the employment of the participant shall terminate for Cause, all
outstanding Options immediately shall be forfeited to the Company and no
additional exercise period shall be allowed, regardless of the vested status of
the Options.

         6.10 NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. No Option granted under the Plan
may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or
hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
Further, all Options granted to a Participant under the Plan shall be
exercisable during his lifetime only by such Participant.

                        ARTICLE 7. RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

         7.1 GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS. Subject to the terms and
provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may
grant Restricted Stock Units to Key Employees in such amounts as the Committee
shall determine.

         7.2 RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT. Each Restricted Stock Unit grant
shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Unit Agreement that shall specify the
Period of Restriction, or Periods, the number of Restricted Stock Units covered
by the grant, and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine. Each
Restricted Stock Unit shall be equivalent in value to a Share of Common Stock.

                                       9
<PAGE>

         7.3 VESTING. Each grant of Restricted Stock Units shall require the
Participant to remain in the employment of the Corporation or a Subsidiary for a
prescribed period ("Restriction Period"). The Committee shall determine the
Restriction Period or Periods which shall apply to the share of Common Stock
covered by each grant of Restricted Stock Units.

         7.4 OTHER RESTRICTIONS. The Committee shall impose such other
restrictions on any Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to the Plan as it
may deem advisable including, without limitation, restrictions based upon the
achievement of specific (Company-wide, divisional, and/or individual)
performance goals, and/or restrictions under applicable Federal or state
securities laws.

         7.5 PAYMENT. Upon expiration of the Restriction Period or Periods
applicable to each grant of Restricted Stock Units, the Participant shall,
without payment on his part, be entitled to receive payment in an amount equal
to the aggregate fair market value of the shares of Common Stock covered by such
grant on the date of expiration. Such payment may be made only in shares of
Common Stock equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units with respect to which
such payment is made.

         7.6 DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS. A Participant whose Restricted Stock Units
have not previously terminated shall be entitled to receive payment in an amount
equal to each cash dividend the Company would have paid to such Participant
during the term of those Restricted Stock Units as if the Participant has been
the owner of record of the shares of Common Stock covered by such Restricted
Stock Units on the record date for the payment of such dividend. Payment of each
such dividend equivalent shall be made on payment date of the cash dividend with
respect to which it is made, or as soon as practicable thereafter.

         7.7 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT DUE TO DEATH, DISABILITY OR RETIREMENT.
In the event that a Participant's employment is terminated with the Company
because of death, disability or normal retirement (as defined under the then
established rules of the Company), any remaining Period of Restriction
applicable to the Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof shall
automatically terminate and, except as otherwise provided in Section 7.4, the
Shares issued in payment of the Restricted Stock Units shall be free of
restrictions and freely transferable. In the event that a Participant terminates
his employment with the Company because of early retirement (as defined under
the then established rules of the Company), the Committee, in its sole
discretion, may waive the restrictions remaining on any or all grants of
Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Section 7.3 herein and add such new
restrictions to Shares issued in payment of Restricted Stock Units as it deems
appropriate.

         7.8 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT FOR OTHER REASONS. In the event that a
Participant terminates his employment with the Company for any reason other than
for death, disability or retirement, as set forth in Section 7.7 herein, during
the Period of Restriction, then any Restricted Stock Units granted still subject
to restrictions as of the date of such termination shall automatically be
forfeited. In such event, the Participant shall not be entitled to receive any
payment with respect to those Restricted Stock Units, except as provided in
Section 7.6 herein, provided, however, that, in the event of any involuntary
termination of the employment of a

                                       10
<PAGE>

participant by the Company other than for Cause, the Committee, in its sole
discretion, may waive the automatic forfeiture of any or all such Restricted
Stock Unit grants.

               ARTICLE 8. PERFORMANCE UNITS AND PERFORMANCE SHARES

         8.1 GRANT OF PERFORMANCE UNITS AND PERFORMANCE SHARES. Subject to the
terms and provisions of the Plan, Performance Units or Performance Shares may be
granted to Participants at any time and from time to time as shall be determined
by the Committee. The Committee shall have complete discretion in determining
the number of Performance Units or Performance Shares granted to each
Participant.

         8.2 VALUE OF PERFORMANCE UNITS AND PERFORMANCE SHARES. Each Performance
Unit shall have an initial value of one dollar ($1.00) and each Performance
Share initially shall represent one share of Stock. The Committee shall set
performance goals in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they
are met, will determine the ultimate value of the Performance Unit or
Performance Share to the Participant. The time period during which the
performance goals must be met shall be called a "Performance Period".

         8.3 PAYMENT OF PERFORMANCE UNITS AND PERFORMANCE SHARES. After a
Performance Period has ended, the holder of a Performance Unit or Performance
Share shall be entitled to receive the value thereof as determined by the extent
to which performance goals discussed in Section 8.2 have been met.

         8.4 FORM AND TIMING OF PAYMENT. Payment in Section 8.3 above shall be
made in cash, stock or a combination thereof as determined by the Committee.
Payment may be made in a lump sum or installments as prescribed by the
Committee. If any payment is to be made on a deferred basis, the Committee may
provide for the payment of dividend equivalents or interest during the deferral
period.

         8.5 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT DUE TO DEATH, DISABILITY OR RETIREMENT.
In the case of death, disability, or retirement, the holder of a Performance
Unit or Performance Share shall receive pro rata payment based on the number of
months service during the Performance Period but based on the achievement of
performance goals during the entire Performance Period. Payment shall be made at
the time payments are made to Participants who did not temrinate service during
the Performance Period.

         8.6 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT FOR OTHER REASONS. In the event that a
Participant terminates employment with the Company for any reason other than
death, disability or retirement, all Performance Units or Performance Shares
shall be forfeited; provided, however, that in the event of an involuntary
termination of the employment of the Participant by the Company other than for
Cause, the Committee in its sole discretion may waive the automatic forfeiture
provisions and pay out on a pro rata basis based on the achievement of
performance goals during the entire Performance Period; in the event the
Committee chooses to make a pro rata payment, such a payment shall be made at
the time payments are made to Participants who did not terminate service during
the Performance Period.

                                       11
<PAGE>

         8.7 NONTRANSFERABILITY. No Performance Units or Performance Shares
granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise
alienated or hypothecated, otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution until the termination of the applicable Performance Period. All
rights with respect to Performance Units or Performance Shares granted to a
Participant under the Plan shall be exercisable during his lifetime only by the
Participant or the Participant's legal representative.

         8.8 PERFORMANCE MEASURES. Unless and until the Committee proposes for
shareholder vote and shareholders approve a change in the general performance
measures set forth in this Section 8.8, the attainment of which may determine
the degree of payout and / or vesting with respect to Awards to Covered
Employees which are designed to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception, the
performance measure(s) to be used for purposes of such grants shall be chosen
from among:

         (a) Return on Equity;
         (b) Earnings Per Share;
         (c) Operating Cash Flow;
         (d) Gross Revenue;
         (e) Income Before Taxes;
         (f) Net Income;
         (g) Return on Revenue; and
         (h) Stock Price Appreciation.

         The Board shall have the discretion to adjust the determinations of the
degree of attainment of the pre-established performance goals; provided,
however, that Awards which are designed to qualify for the Performance-Based
Exception, and which are held by Covered Employees, may not be adjusted upward
(the Board shall retain the discretion to adjust such Awards downward).

         In the event that applicable tax and / or securities laws change to
permit Board discretion to alter the governing performance measures without
obtaining shareholder approval of such changes, the Board shall have sole
discretion to make such changes without obtaining shareholder approval. In
addition, in the event that the Board determines that it is advisable to grant
Awards which shall not qualify for the Performance-Based Exception, the Board
may make such grants without satisfying the requirements of Code Section 162(m).

                         ARTICLE 9. RIGHTS OF EMPLOYEES

         9.1 EMPLOYMENT. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in
any way the right of the Company to terminate any Participant's employment at
any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of
the Company.

         9.2 PARTICIPATION. No employee shall have the right to be selected to
receive an Award under this Plan, or, having been so selected, to be selected to
receive a future Award.

                          ARTICLE 10. CHANGE IN CONTROL

         10.1 STOCK BASED AWARDS. Notwithstanding the remaining provisions of
the Plan, in the event of a Change in Control of the Company, all Stock based
awards granted under this Plan, including NQSOs, ISOs, and Restricted Stock
Units, that are still outstanding and not yet vested, shall become immediately
100% vested in each Participant, as of the first date that the definition of
Change in Control has been fulfilled, and shall remain as such for the remaining
life of the Award, as such life is provided herein and within the provisions of
the related individual Award Agreements. Within ten (10) business days after the
occurrence of a Change in Control, the stock certificates representing payment
of Restricted Stock Unit grants, without any restrictions or legend thereon,
shall be delivered to the applicable Participants.

         10.2 PERFORMANCE BASED AWARDS. Notwithstanding the remaining provisions
of the Plan, in the event of a Change in Control of the Company, all performance
based awards granted under this Plan shall be immediately paid out in cash,
including Performance Units or Performance shares. The amount of the payout
shall be based on the extent to which performance goals, established for the
Performance Period then in progress, have been met up to the date of the Change
in Control, or at target, whichever is higher.

         10.3 POOLING OF INTERESTS ACCOUNTING. Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that the consummation of a
Change in Control is contingent on using the pooling of interests accounting
methodology, the Board may take any action necessary to preserve the use of
pooling of interests accounting.

               ARTICLE 11. AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION

         11.1 AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION. With the approval of the
Board, at any time and from time to time, the Committee may terminate, amend, or
modify the Plan. However, without the approval of the stockholders of the
company (as may be required by the Code, by the insider trading rules of Section
16 of the Exchange Act, by any national securities exchange or system on which
the Shares are then listed or reported, or by a regulatory body having
jurisdiction with respect hereto), no such termination, amendment, or
modification may:

                  (a)      Increase the total amount of Shares which may be
                           issued under this Plan, except as provided in Section
                           4.3 herein; or

                  (b)      Change the class of employees eligible to participate
                           in the Plan; or

                  (c)      Materially increase the cost of the Plan or
                           materially increase the benefits to Participants; or

                  (d)      Extend the maximum period after the date of grant
                           during which Options may be exercised; or

         11.2 AWARDS PREVIOUSLY GRANTED. No termination, amendment or
modification of the Plan shall in any manner adversely affect any Award
previously granted under the Plan, without the written consent of the
Participant.

         11.3 COMPLIANCE WITH CODE SECTION 162(m). At all times when Code
Section 162(m) is applicable, all Awards granted under this Plan shall comply
with the requirements of Code Section 162(m); provided, however, that in the
event the Board determines that such compliance is not desired with respect to
any Award or Awards available for grant under the Plan, then compliance with
Code Section 162(m) will not be required. In addition, in the event that changes
are made to Code Section 162(m) to permit greater flexibility with respect to
any Award or Awards available under the Plan, the Board may, subject to this
Article 11, make any adjustments it deems appropriate.

                             ARTICLE 12. WITHHOLDING

         12.1 TAX WITHHOLDING. The Company shall have the power and the right to
deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount
sufficient to satisfy Federal, state and local taxes (including the
Participant's FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to
any grant, exercise or payment made under or as a result of this Plan.

         12.2 SHARE WITHHOLDING. With respect to withholding required upon the
exercise of NQSOs, or upon the payment of Restricted Stock Units, or upon the
payment of Performance Units or Performance shares (if paid in full or part in
Shares), participants may elect, subject to the approval of the Committee, to
satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by having the Company
withhold Shares having a Fair market Value, on the date the tax is to be
determined, equal to the amount required to be withheld. All elections shall be
irrevocable, and be made in writing, signed by the Participant in advance of the
day that the transaction becomes taxable.

         Share withholding elections made by Participants who are subject to the
short-swing profit restrictions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act must comply
with such additional restrictions in making their election.

                     ARTICLE 13. REDEMPTION OF COMMON STOCK
                          ON TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

         As of the time of voluntary or involuntary termination of employment of
a Participant and at the discretion of the Committee, Participant shall sell to
the Corporation, and the Corporation shall redeem from the Participant, all of
Participant's Shares, that are owned or have vested due to Participant's
participation in the Plan. The redemption price for each Share redeemed shall be
the average of the highest and lowest price at which the Stock was traded during
the five business days preceding the date of the Committee's decision to redeem
the Shares of a participant. The redeemed shares shall be transferred to the
Corporation properly endorsed by the Participant free and clear of all claims,
liens and encumbrances whatsoever. As used herein, the term "termination of
employment" means the complete termination of employment.

                           ARTICLE 14. INDEMNIFICATION

         Each Person who is or shall have been a member of the Committee, or of
the Board, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and
from any loss, cost, liability or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably
incurred by him in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit or
proceeding to which he may be a party or in which he may be involved by reason
of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan and against and from any
and all amounts paid by him in settlement thereof, with the Company's approval,
or paid by him in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit or
proceeding against him, provided he shall give the Company an opportunity, at
its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he undertakes to handle
and defend it on his own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall
not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such Persons
may be entitled under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a
matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify
them or hold them harmless.

                             ARTICLE 15. SUCCESSORS

         All obligations of the Company under the Plan, with respect to Awards
granted hereunder, shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the
existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase,
merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all substantially all of the business
and/or assets of the Company.

                         ARTICLE 16. REQUIREMENTS OF LAW

         16.1 REQUIREMENTS OF LAW. The granting of Awards and the issuance of
Shares under this Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and
regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national
securities exchanges as may be required.

         16.2 GOVERNING LAW. To the extent not preempted by Federal law, the
Plan, and all agreements hereunder, shall be construed in accordance with and
governed by the laws of the State of Florida.
