          Intellectual Property Rights indicating their place of registration is
          set out in Schedule 16. These  registrations are valid and enforceable
          and the Seller has no knowledge of any matter which could lead to such
          Intellectual Property Rights being the subject of opposition.

7.12.2    The Company does not use any Intellectual  Property Right belonging to
          third  parties  and has  never  been  informed  of any  claim  in this
          respect.

          authorisation  to use the  Intellectual  Property Rights and has never

7.12.4    The  Company  benefits  from  licences  in respect of the Intellectual
          Property Rights set out in Schedule 17. These licences are valid, have
          been validly  granted to the Company and the Company has complied with
          all its  obligations in this respect.  The Company has not granted any
          sub-licence.

7.12.5    The  Company is entitled  to use without payment all material know how
          and other material technical information used by it in connection with
          its business or businesses and all information  concerning the methods
          and processes used by the Company,  and no rights to disclosure or use
          of any material know how or material technical information used by the

7.12.6    None of the  processes, products of the Company, know how or technical
          or other information used by the Company infringes, to the best of the
          Seller's knowledge and belief, any intellectual  property or any right
          of any other person,  relating in particular to intellectual property,
          or involves the unlicensed use of confidential  information  disclosed
          to the Company by any person in circumstances which might entitle that
          person to make a claim against the Company.


                                       26

<PAGE>

7.12.7    There are  no outstanding  claims against the Company for infringement
          of any intellectual  property or of any rights relating to it used (or
          which  has been  used) by the  Company  and no such  claims  have been
          settled by the giving of any  undertakings  which remain in force. The
          Company has not  received any actual or  threatened  claim that any of
          the Intellectual Property Rights is invalid.

          the  Company  are kept  strictly  confidential.  The  Company  has not
          disclosed any of its confidential information to any other person save
          where a legally  binding and of full force and effect  confidentiality
          agreement in respect of such  disclosure  is in place.  The Seller and
          the  Company  are not aware of any such  confidentiality  having  been
          breached.

7.12.9    Schedule 18 details the computer software used by the Company and sets
          out, whether such computer  software belongs to the Company or whether
          the  Company  has a licence  in respect  of it.  The  Company  has not
          granted  a licence  to any  third  party in  respect  of the  computer
          software  belonging  to it and it has no  knowledge of any use of such

          authorisation,  computer  software  belonging to third parties and has
          not been informed of any claim in this respect.

7.12.10   The computer software  owned by the Company or in respect of which the
          Company has been granted a license is sufficient  and  appropriate  to
          enable the Company to exercise its present activities.

7.12.11   So  far as the  Seller is  aware disaster recovery plans are in effect
          and are  adequate  to  ensure  that the  computer  hardware,  computer
          software and/or data can be replaced or substituted  without  material
          disruption to the business of the Company.

7.12.12   So far as  the Seller is aware the Company  has adequate procedures to
          ensure  internal  and  external  security  of the  computer  hardware,
          computer software and data, including (without limitation)  procedures
          for preventing  unauthorised access,  preventing the introduction of a
          virus,  taking and storing on-site and off-site  back-up copies of the
          computer software and data.

7.12.13   The computer hardware and the computer software have not in the period
          of 12 months  immediately prior to Completion been unduly  interrupted
          or hindered the running or operation of the Company's business.

          and level reasonably  appropriate to the businesses  carried out by it

          Vehicles, whether owned or rented, Leasehold Premises,  activities and
          operations.

          insured  against  in  respect  of the  activities  carried  out by the
          Company,  and more  particularly  all loss of opportunity or any other
          liability resulting from the products.

7.13.4    Schedule  20  sets  out  the  incidents  for  the  previous  three (3)
          accounting  periods in respect of which the  Company  has made  claims
          under the policies set out in Schedule 19 together  with the amount of
          payments made under such policies.

8.4.1     Except  as provided  in Clause 8.4.2  the Seller undertakes neither to
          transfer  Sale Shares to a third  party,  nor to grant any third party
          any rights over the Sale Shares nor to take any steps nor to engage in
          any  negotiation  in relation to acquiring any interest in the capital

               alternative buyers;

          (ii) fully coordinate all discussions  with, and hold such discussions
               only  with,  the  Monitoring  Trustee  approval.  Any  action  or

<PAGE>

               (a) ensuring that no information is provided that is commercially
               sensitive or  that could endanger  the viability and stability of
               the Business; and

               (b) preserving  the  current  and  future  competitiveness of the
               Business;

          (iii) inform all  alternative  buyers of the  fact that the Seller has
                entered into a legally binding and  confidential  agreement  for
                the  sale of  the  Shares  to  the  Buyer,  subject  only  to EU
                Commission  approval. Accordingly,  all prospective  alternative
                buyers shall be made specifically aware that their engagement in
                the sale process is only as an alternative in the event that the
                Transactions with the Buyer fail to close;

          (iv)  be  precluded  from  providing  prospective  alternative  buyers

          (v)   not develop  or  discuss  any  potential   transaction  with  an
                alternative buyer  beyond  a  stage  that  could  reasonably  be
                characterised as  preliminary  drafting based on the first draft
                Sale and Purchase Agreement provided initially to the Buyer. For
                the  avoidance of doubt, no final  documents  shall be agreed or
                exchanged,  regardless  of  whether  or  not  they  are  legally
                binding.

          (vi)  together with the Buyer, use their respective best endeavours to
                coordinate  and   promptly  take   any  action  that  is  deemed
                reasonably  necessary or  advisable by the parties to facilitate
                the EU  Commission  approval  of  the  Seller's  submission  and
                request for approval of this Transaction; and

          (vii) refer prospective  alternative  buyers only to Graham Foster and
                S0ren  Lundsberg-Nielsen both of G4S plc,  who shall be the only

          names,  designs  and  models,  know-how,   copyrights  and  industrial
          property  rights  which are  currently  registered  in the name of the
          Company or used by the Company, including the stationery and uniforms,
          but only in the same  manner  and for the same  purposes  as they were
          used prior to the date of Completion


                                       38

<PAGE>

          For the avoidance of doubt, no other rights  whatsoever are granted to
          the Company or the Buyer in respect of the names  "Securicor",  "Group
          4" "Group 4 Falck" or "Falck" or any associated trademarks.

8.5.2     The  Seller has committed to  provide the Company with  necessary  and
          adequate  transitional  services for up to 6 months post Completion as
          reasonably requested by the Buyer and reasonably  sufficient to enable
          the Company to be fully  functional  in  relation  to its  business as
          conducted prior to Completion.  The Buyer will use its best efforts to
          make the  transition  as short as  possible  and  cease the use of the
          services as soon as possible within the 6 month period. The outline of
          the main services currently being provided to the Company is specified
          in  Document  18  referred  to in  Schedule  2,  Part  (b).  Prior  to
          Completion  the  parties  will use their best  efforts to develop  and
          agree  a  comprehensive   Transitional   Services   Agreement  ("TSA")
          specifying  the  services  to a  degree  necessary  for the  practical
          implementation  of the services.  The  transitional  services shall be
          provided by the Seller at no cost to the Buyer or the Company.

          8.5.2.1  The Seller shall provide the following  transitional services
          to the Company:

          (a)  Collect,  compile,  analyse and  present  the monthly  management
               accounts   consistent   with  past   practice,   subject  to  the
               information  being  provided  by the  Company in a timely  manner
               meeting the same reporting deadlines as prior to divestment.

          (b)  Continue to provide management  information  consistent with past
               practice  and  provide  the  same  availability  as  prior to the
               divestment.

          (c)  Making   available   appropriate   and   agreed  procurement  and
               purchasing  systems and  information  and provide  necessary  and
               relevant supervision of actual procurement.

          (d)  Making  available  appropriate  and agreed  invoicing  and credit
               control  systems  and  information  and  provide   necessary  and
               relevant supervision of actual invoicing and credit control.

          (e)  Making available an  appropriate  and agreed  payroll  system and
               providing the necessary and relevant  supervision  for the actual
               handling of the payroll.

          (f)  HR  support   comprising  general  advice  and  guidance,  mainly
               provided by phone and e-mail as a back office hot line service.


                                       39

<PAGE>

          (g)  Contract  management  comprising  general  advice  and  guidance,
               mainly  provided  by phone and  e-mail as a back  office hot line
               service.

          (h)  Support for supervising  and  maintaining the IT systems with the
               aim of preserving the same  availability and functionality as pre
               Completion.   Further,   necessary  support  and  supervision  to
               facilitate  migration  of IT  systems to be  operated  on a stand
               alone basis and/or provide the integration into and connection to
               the Buyer's IT Systems.

          (i)  To the extent that the Company prior to Completion as part of its
               ordinary  operation was utilising services provided by the Seller
               or a Seller's Group Affiliate, which is not adequately covered as
               part  of  sub-clauses  (a) to (h)  above,  then  such  additional
               service shall continue to be provided by Seller as a transitional
               service consistent with past practice.

          (j)  All equipment  utilised by the  Company,  as part of its ordinary
               operation  prior  to  Completion  shall  be  deemed  as an  asset
               belonging to the Company,  regardless  of whether the Company has
               title or other  legal  entitlement  to use such  asset,  with the
               effect that the Seller or a Seller's Group Affiliate cannot claim
               a right to take possession of such equipment. However, should the
               Seller  intend  to take  possession  of any such  asset  then the
               Seller shall give the Buyer reasonable prior notice before taking
               any such action.

          8.5.2.2   The  Seller shall supply such specified transitional service
          on the following main conditions:

          (a)  Seller is providing  the  services  at its own cost and shall not
               invoice any cost to the Buyer or the Company.

          (b)  Seller  has the  management  control  over by whom  and how  such
               services will be provided.

          (c)  Seller shall not  undertake  any liabilities for the provision of
               services  or  liability  for the  services or lack of same beyond
               what  liabilities  a  non-related   outsourcing   provider  would
               normally be expected to accept to undertake.

          (d)  If Buyer  requests service  beyond the 6 month  period and Seller
               agrees to provide such service,  Seller reserves to do this on an
               arms length charging basis.

          been duly  authorised by its corporate  bodies and that this Agreement

                          SECTION III - INDEMNIFICATION
                          -----------------------------

10.       INDEMNIFICATION
          ---------------

10.1      Principle

10.1.1    The  Seller  undertakes  to  indemnify the  Buyer, or any other person
          nominated by the Buyer, against:

          (a)  any Loss that the Company  or the Buyer may suffer by virtue of a
               reduction in the value of an item of assets or an increase in the
               value of an item of  liabilities  resulting  from a liability not
               being specifically  accounted for or insufficient provision being
               made for it in the  Accounts,  as long as the  cause or origin of
               this reduction in assets or increase in liabilities  arises prior
               to Completion;

          (b)  any Loss that the Company or the Buyer  suffer as a result of any
               breach,   inaccuracy  or  omission  in  the  representations  and
               warranties contained in Clause 7 or of the non-performance by the
               Seller of any of its obligations under this Agreement, as long as
               such Loss has not been  indemnified  in full by the provisions of
               Clause 10.1.1 (a) above;

          (c)  any Loss that the Company suffers in respect of Taxes in relation
               to a period prior to Completion  which has not been  accounted or
               provided for in the Accounts;

          (d)  any Loss that the  Company suffers in respect of value added tax,
               whether such Loss arises in respect of matters  occurring  before
               or after  Completion,  where the liability in question relates to
               supplies made by any company (other than the Company) which is or
               was a member of the same value  added tax group as the Company on
               or before Completion.

10.1.2    The obligation  to indemnify applies as well to all events which occur
          between the Date of this  Agreement and  Completion and which have the
          effect of rendering the  representations,  warranties and undertakings
          contained  in Section II incorrect  or  incomplete  whether or not the
          Loss suffered could not be ascertained  or was not  ascertained  until
          after Completion.

10.1.3    If  the  Loss to which the provisions of Clause 10.1.1 applies relates
          to  Taxes,  the  undertaking  of the  Seller  under  Clause  10.1.1 to
          indemnify the Buyer is agreed to be an undertaking to pay to the Buyer
          an amount equal to the liability to Taxes.


                                       42

<PAGE>

10.2      Net Loss

          The Seller is only liable to indemnify  the net Loss. In this respect,
          the total indemnity  under this clause will be calculated  taking into
          account the following factors:

          (a)  If the event which forms the basis of a request for an  indemnity
               for Loss has  given  rise to the  making  of a  provision  in the
               Accounts, the amount of the indemnifiable Loss will be reduced by
               the amount of the provision in the Accounts  specifically  booked
               to cover such Loss;

          (b)  If the  event gives  rise to an insurance claim and recovery paid
               to the  Company  or to the  Buyer,  the  amount  of the  Seller's
               liability shall be reduced by such payment;

          (c)  Any tax adjustment  which has the sole effect of  transferring an
               expense  or an  income  from  one  financial  year  to  the  next
               financial  year will only be taken  into  account  in  respect of
               interest  and late  payment  penalties  on the  transfer  of such
               expenditures or income;

          (d)  All amounts paid by the Seller or the Buyer, as the  case may be,
               under the terms hereof  shall be treated to the extent  permitted
               under applicable tax law as adjustments to the Purchase Price for
               all Tax purposes, and to the extent not so permitted,  the amount
               of any such  payment  shall be increased to take into account the
               Tax, if any, resulting from the receipt of such payment.

10.3      Limitations of Liability

10.3.1    The Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer pursuant to Clause 10.1 or
          for a breach of the warranties or representations set out in Clause 7:

          10.3.1.1 to the extent that the claim relates to any matters disclosed
          in the Disclosure Schedule.

          10.3.1.2 to the extent that a claim arises:-

          (a)  wholly or partly from an act or omission occurring at the request
               of or with the  written  consent of the Buyer or (on or after the
               date of Completion) the Company;

          (b)  wholly or partly from an act or omission  since the last Accounts
               Date compelled by law;


                                       43

<PAGE>

          (c)  wholly or partly as a result of any increase in rates of taxation
               since the Last Accounting Date;

          (d)  wholly  or partly  as a result of the passing after Completion of
               an enactment or other  government  regulation with  retrospective
               effect.

          10.3.1.3 to the extent that the subject of the claim:

          (a)  has been or is made good or is otherwise compensated  for without
               cost to the Buyer or the Company; or

          (b)  is or but for this Agreement  would be recoverable by the Company
               by  insurance  in place at  Completion,  or  would  have  been so
               recoverable  but for any change in the terms of  insurance  since
               the date of Completion.

10.4      Where the Buyer and/or the Company are at any time entitled to recover
          from some other person any sum in respect of any matter giving rise to
          a claim under Clause 10.1 or under any of the other provisions of this
          Agreement  the Buyer shall and shall  procure  that the Company  shall
          undertake  all  reasonable  steps to enforce such a recovery  prior to
          taking  any  action  (other  than  notifying  the Seller of the claim)
          against  the  Seller  and in the event  that the Buyer or the  Company
          shall  recover  any amount  from such  other  person the amount of the
          claim  against  the Seller  shall be  reduced by the amount  recovered
          PROVIDED THAT

          (i)  the costs and expenses of such action are paid for by the Seller;
               and

          (ii) time for bringing a claim against the Seller  pursuant to Clauses
               12.1 or 12.2 is  extended to a period of three  months  following
               cessation of such third party claim.

10.5      If  the  Seller  pays at any time  to the  Buyer or to the Company any
          amount  pursuant  to a claim  pursuant to Clause 10.1 and the Buyer or
          the Company  subsequently  becomes entitled to recover from some other
          person any sum in respect of any matter  giving rise to such claim the
          Buyer shall procure that the Company shall take all necessary steps to
          enforce  such a recovery  and shall  forthwith  repay to the Seller so
          much of the  amount  paid by them to the Buyer or the  Company as does
          not exceed the sum  recovered  from such other  person less all costs,
          charges  and  expenses  incurred  by  the  Buyer  or  the  Company  in
          recovering that sum from such other person.

10.6      The  Buyer shall  be  liable to the Seller in respect of any Loss that
          the Seller  suffers as a result of any breach,  inaccuracy or omission
          in the representations and warranties  contained in Clause 9 or of the
          non-performance  by the  Buyer of any of its  obligations  under  this
          Agreement.

10.7      The Buyer accepts that it has a general duty to mitigate its Loss.

11.       FLOOR THRESHOLD AND CEILING
          ---------------------------

11.1      Floor

          The Seller will only be liable to the Buyer  under  Clause 9 or Clause

11.2      Ceiling

          The total  amount  for  which the  Seller  may be  liable  under  this

12.1      Requests for Indemnification  pursuant to this Agreement in respect to
          Taxes  must be  received  before the  expiration  of a period of seven
          years (save where the relevant  limitation  period applicable to Taxes
          is longer  than  seven  years or  increased  beyond  seven  years with
          retrospective  effect,  in which case such  increased  period shall be
          applicable) plus three (3) months, from the date of Completion.


                                       45


<PAGE>


12.2      Save  as  otherwise  specifically  provided  any  other  requests  for
          indemnification pursuant to this Agreement must be received before the
          expiration  of a  period  of  eighteen  (18)  months  from the Date of
          Completion.  Claims under Clause 8.3 of this Agreement are not subject
          to this  limitation  on the period  during  which  such  claims may be
          brought.

12.3      The  Buyer  shall  not  lose  its  right  to  indemnification  at  the
          expiration of the limitation  periods referred to above as long as the
          requests pursuant to this Agreement (or the events which may give rise
          to a  claim)  are  notified  before  the  expiration  of such  periods
          PROVIDED  THAT  the  liability  of the  Seller  for  any  claim  shall
          absolutely  cease (unless the amount payable in respect of a claim has
          been  agreed  by the  Seller  within 6 months  of the date of  written
          notice  given  pursuant to Clause 12.1 or Clause 12.2 (as the case may
          be)) if legal  proceedings have not been instituted in respect of such
          claim within 6 months of the date of written  notice given pursuant to
          Clause  12.1 or Clause 12.2 (as the case may be)(or such later date as
          the Buyer and Seller may agree).

13.       PENSIONS INDEMNITY
          ------------------

13.1      The  Seller  shall  continue  to  bear  full  responsibility  for  the
          provision of all benefits  whatsoever (whether through a group pension
          scheme  or  schemes  or  otherwise)  on  retirement  or death  for all
          employees of the Company in respect of the period to  Completion.  The
          Seller shall indemnify the Buyer in full against any costs or expenses
          incurred  by the Buyer or the  Company on or from  Completion  arising
          from any  obligation  of the  Company,  including  any  failure by the
          Company  to  comply  with  any  such  obligation,  in  respect  of any
          arrangement  (including any oral promise or any  obligation  which has
          developed  from custom and practice) for the provision of all benefits
          on retirement or death in respect of the period to Completion.  If the
          Buyer requests the Seller to provide it with any information  which it
          requires  with a view to  establishing  pension  arrangements  for the
          employees of the Company  following  Completion,  the Seller shall, as
          soon as practicable after such request, provide the Buyer with such of
          the  information  requested  which it is  reasonable  for the Buyer to
          request and which it is practicable for the Seller to provide.


                                       46


<PAGE>


13.2      For a period of 6 months following the date of Completion, no notices,
          invitations  and  announcements  relating to the pension  arrangements
          made  available  to, or to be made  available to, the employees of the
          Company  will be issued by the Buyer or the Seller  without  the prior
          written  agreement  of  the  other  party  (such  agreement  not to be
          unreasonably withheld or delayed).

13.3      For  the  avoidance  of  doubt  the  indemnity provided for under this
          Clause 13 shall not be subject to any disclosures,  qualifications  or
          limitations  (as to time or  amount)  which  are set out in any  other
          provision of this  Agreement  and in  particular in Clauses 10, 11 and
          12.

14.       NOTIFICATION PROCEDURE AND PAYMENT OF THE INDEMNITY
          ---------------------------------------------------

14.1      Principle

14.1.1    Any event capable of giving rise to an obligation to indemnify must be
          notified  in  writing by the Buyer to the  Seller  forthwith  upon the
          Buyer  becoming  aware of the same,  specifying  full  details  of the
          reasons for which the Buyer requests  indemnification  from the Seller
          as  well  as  the  sum  of  the   indemnifiable   Loss  incurred,   if
          determinable.

14.1.2    Except  in the event  that  written objection is sent by the Seller to
          the Buyer  within two (2)  months of the  receipt by the Seller of the
          notification  above,  and save where a claim is being  made  against a
          third  party in  accordance  with  Clause  10.4,  the  indemnification
          requested  shall be  considered  due and shall  give rise to  interest
          accruing  after the date of reception by the Seller of the request for
          indemnity by the Buyer (the interest being payable at the same time as
          the indemnity). The relevant interest rate shall be 5% per annum.

14.1.3    If  on  the contrary, the Seller notifies an objection to the Buyer in
          the time-limits set out above,  the dispute shall be settled  pursuant
          to Clause 14.11.

14.2      Third party requests

14.2.1    In the  event of any legal or  administrative  action filed by a third
          party  against  the  Company  as  well as of a tax  assessment  issued
          against the  Company,  which would give rise to a request by the Buyer
          to the Seller,  the Buyer or the Company shall give written  notice to
          the Seller as soon as is reasonably  practicable following the Company
          becoming  aware of such action.  It is expressly  understood  that any
          delay by the Buyer or the  Company in  informing  the Seller will only
          give rise to the  payment of damages to the Seller in an amount  equal
          to the loss suffered by the latter, but such limitation of the Buyer's


                                       47

<PAGE>

          liability  shall be  applicable  only if the Buyer's or the  Company's
          delay in providing notification significantly compromised the Seller's
          ability to  participate  in the  defence of such action and the Seller
          was otherwise  entitled to  participate in the defence under the terms
          of this Agreement.

14.2.2    In the  event the  Seller does  not notify in writing the Buyer of its
          intentions  in respect of the conduct of the legal action  referred to
          above within 30 (thirty)  Working Days of receipt of the  notification
          referred to above,  the Seller  shall be deemed to have decided not to
          take part in the defence of the Company against the third party claim.

14.2.3    It is  expressly agreed the Buyer  shall be authorised to commence any
          urgent action to defending the Company's  interests without consulting
          the Seller,  if the  Seller's  advice  cannot be  reasonably  obtained
          considering the nature of the legal action to be conducted  and/or the
          time-limits for response set out by the third party.

14.2.4    In the  event of a disagreement on  the strategy to be implemented, or
          if the Seller  chooses not to intervene in the defence of the Company,
          the Company will keep  ultimate  management of its defence for its own
          benefit and that of interested parties as is set out above.

14.2.5    Subject to  the second  sentence of this  Clause  14.2.5,  the Company
          shall control any audits, disputes, administrative,  judicial or other
          proceedings related to Taxes imposed upon the Company. In the event an
          adverse determination would result in the Seller having responsibility
          for any amount of Taxes,  the Seller shall be entitled to participate,
          through the Buyer or the Company,  in that portion of the  proceedings
          relating  to the Taxes with  respect to which it may incur  liability.
          Neither the Buyer nor the Company  shall settle or agree to settle any
          Tax  liability or  compromise  any claim with respect to Taxes,  which
          settlement  or  compromise  may affect the liability of the Seller for
          Taxes,  without  the  Seller's  consent  (which  consent  shall not be
          unreasonably withheld or delayed). Any amended Tax return or claim for
          Tax refund for any period shall be filed, or caused to be filed,  only
          by the Buyer, who shall not be obligated to make (or cause to be made)
          such filing.

14.2.6    The  Seller  on  the  one  hand, and the Buyer  and the Company on the
          other, shall cooperate with each other and with each other's agents in
          connection with Tax matters related to the Company,  including  making
          all relevant Tax information and documents in its possession available
          to the other  party and  including  in  connection  with any  transfer
          pricing enquiry.

14.3      Beneficiary of indemnification


                                       48

          winding up, absorption,  contribution or disposal of all or any assets
          of the Company.
