         determined. Executive will devote his full energy, skill and best
         efforts to the affairs of Company on a full-time basis. It is
         contemplated that such employment will continue until August 30, 2008,

         hundred forty (240) months.

3.       TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

         If Executive terminates his employment with Company, or if Company
         terminates Executive's employment prior to Executive's Retirement Date
         but after May 7, 1999, Company shall pay Executive monthly, commencing
         with the first month after executive's Retirement Date and continuing
         for two hundred forty (240) months, the amount specified in Section 2
         above. In the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of Company,
         periods of time during which Executive may be disabled may be treated
         as time of employment for
         purposes of this computation.

         hereinafter referred to as Beneficiary) a monthly amount of $4,166.00
         commencing with the first month following death and continuing for one
         hundred twenty (120) months thereafter. In the case of death of
         Executive after termination of employment with Company, but before his

         commencing with the first month following death and continuing for one
         hundred twenty (120) months thereafter. If Executive dies within two
         hundred forty (240) months following his Retirement Date and while
         receiving payments hereunder,

         Company shall pay Beneficiary the payments which would have been made
         to Executive had he lived for the balance of said two hundred forty
         (240) month period.

5.       SMALL AMOUNTS.

         In the event the amount of any monthly payments provided herein shall
         be less than Twenty ($20) Dollars, The Company in its sole discretion
         may in lieu thereof pay the commuted value of such payments (calculated
         on the basis of the interest rate and mortality assumptions being used
         by The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company of Milwaukee,
         Wisconsin, to calculate immediate annuity rates on the date of this
         Agreement) to the person entitled to such payments.

         The Beneficiary (or Beneficiaries) of any payments to be made after
         Executive's death, shall be as designated by Executive and shown on
         attached Exhibit A or such other person or persons as Executive shall
         designate in writing to Company. If no effective designation of

         employment with, render service, assistance or advice to, or allow his

         Board of Directors of the Company. Determination by the Board of
         Directors of the Company that Executive has engaged in any such
         activity shall be binding and conclusive on all parties, and in
         addition to all other rights and remedies which Company shall have,
         neither Executive not Beneficiary shall be entitled to any payments
         hereunder.

8.       INSURANCE.

         If Company shall elect to purchase a life insurance contract to provide
         Company with funds to make payments hereunder, Company shall at all
         times be the sole and complete Owner and beneficiary of such contract,
         and shall have the unrestricted right to use all amounts and exercise
         all options and privileges thereunder without knowledge or consent of
         Executive or Beneficiary or any other person, it being expressly agreed

         Executive, Beneficiary and any other person or persons having or
         claiming a right to payments hereunder or to any interest in this

         or property of any kind whatsoever owned by Company or in which it may
         have any right, title or interest now or in the future, but Executive
         shall have the right to enforce his claim against Company in the same
         manner as any unsecured creditor.

10.      AMENDMENT.

         This Agreement may be amended at any time or from time to time by
         written agreement of the parties.

         private debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance, or be
         transferable by operation of law in event of bankruptcy, insolvency or
         otherwise.

                       SENIOR OFFICER RETIREMENT AGREEMENT

         Effective August 11, 1997, THE WACKENHUT CORPORATION, a Florida
corporation (Company) and Philip L. Maslowe (Executive) hereby agree as follows:

1.       EMPLOYMENT.

         Company will employ Executive as Senior Vice President or in such other
         positions as may be determined from time to time by the Board of
         Directors of Company and at such rate of compensation as may be so
         determined. Executive will devote his full energy, skill and best
         efforts to the affairs of Company on a full-time basis. It is
         contemplated that such employment will continue until August 30, 2007
         (Executive's Retirement Date), but nevertheless either Company or
         Executive may terminate Executive's employment at any time and for any
         reason upon sixty (60) days written notice to the other.

2.       RETIREMENT.

         In the event Executive's employment continues until his Retirement
         Date, upon retirement, and commencing with the first month after
         Executive actually retires, Company will pay Executive $8,333.00
         monthly for two hundred forty (240) months.

3.       TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

         A. If Executive terminates his employment with Company, or if Company
         terminates Executive's employment prior to Executive's Retirement Date
         pursuant to Section 1 above, but after August 30, 1998, Company will
         pay Executive monthly, commencing with the first month after
         Executive's Retirement Date and continuing for two hundred forty (240)
         months, an amount calculated by multiplying the monthly amount payable
         at retirement specified in Section 2 above by a fraction the numerator
         of which is the sum of the number of years of service between the
         effective date of this Agreement and the date of termination of
         employment (partial years of service are rounded up to a full year if
         over six months and rounded down if under six months), and the
         denominator of which is the number three (3); provided, however in no
         event shall the amount paid per month exceed the amount payable under
         Section 2 of this Agreement. In the sole discretion of the Board of
         Directors of Company, periods of time during which Executive may be
         disabled may be treated as time of employment for purposes of this
         computation.

         B. If Executive terminates his employment with Company, or if Company
         terminates Executive's employment prior to Executive's Retirement Date
         but after August 30, 1998, Company will pay Executive monthly,
         commencing with the first month after Executive's Retirement Date and
         continuing for two hundred forty (240) months, an amount calculated
         by multiplying the monthly amount payable at retirement specified in
         Section 2 above by a fraction the numerator of which is the sum of the
         number of full years between the date of this Agreement and the date
         of termination of employment, and the

                                       1
<PAGE>   2
         denominator of which is the number three (3); provided, however, in no
         event shall the amount paid per month exceed the amount payable under
         Section 2 of this Agreement. In the sole discretion of the board of
         Directors of Company, periods of time during which Executive may be
         disabled may be treated as time of employment for purposes of this
         computation.

         C. If Executive terminates his employment with Company prior to August
         31, 1998, or if Company terminates Executive's employment for any
         reason prior to August 31, 1998, Executive or Beneficiary shall
         receive no payments whatsoever under this Agreement.

4.       DEATH.

         If Executive dies before his Retirement Date and before termination of
         his employment with Company, Company shall pay Executive's named
         Beneficiary (designated as provided in Section 6 of this Agreement and
         hereinafter referred to as Beneficiary) a monthly amount of $4,166.00
         commencing with the first month following death and continuing for one
         hundred twenty (120) months thereafter. In the case of death of
         Executive after termination of employment with Company, but before his
         Retirement Date, the Company shall pay to Beneficiary the lesser of (a)
         a monthly amount determined by multiplying $4,166.00 by the fraction
         determined from subsection 3.A of this Agreement, or (b) $4,166.00
         commencing with the first month following death and continuing for one
         hundred twenty (120) months thereafter. If Executive dies within two
         hundred forty (240) months following his Retirement Date and while
         receiving payments hereunder, Company shall pay Beneficiary the
         payments which would have been made to Executive had he lived for the
         balance of said two-hundred forty (240) month period. If Executive
         shall die by suicide prior to August 31, 1999, whether sane or insane,
         no payments shall be made by the Company. If the Executive shall die by
         suicide after August 30, 1999, the Company shall make such payments as
         would be required by this Agreement had Executive died at that time
         other than by suicide.

5.       SMALL AMOUNTS.

         In the event the amount of any monthly payments provided herein shall
         be less than Twenty ($20) Dollars, The Company in its sole discretion
         may in lieu thereof pay the commuted value of such payments (calculated
         on the basis of the interest rate and mortality assumptions being used
         by The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company of Milwaukee,
         Wisconsin, to calculate immediate annuity rates on the date of this
         Agreement) to the person entitled to such payments.

6.       BENEFICIARY.

         The Beneficiary (or Beneficiaries) of any payments to be made after
         Executive's death, shall be as designated by Executive and shown on
         attached Exhibit A or such other person or persons as Executive shall
         designate in writing to Company. If no effective designation of
         Beneficiaries has been made by Executive, any such payments shall be
         made to Executive's estate.

         activity shall be binding and conclusive on all parties, and in
         addition to all other rights and remedies which Company shall have,

         that neither Executive nor Beneficiary nor any other person shall have
         any right, title or interest whatsoever in or to any such contract.
