Sears Tower Security
Sears Tower, the tallest building in North America, is one of more than 10,000 buildings whose security was entrusted to Kroll after Sept. 11. Kroll’s specialists continue to conduct comprehensive threat assessments, recommend systemic and policy changes, and advise on crisis management plans for building owners worldwide. (2001-present)

Notable Cases

History


Notable Cases
Over the past 30 years, Kroll has maintained a reputation for respecting its clients’ confidentiality, while also gaining worldwide recognition for its work on many high-profile public cases. These notable cases include:

Restoring Value to Stakeholders
Early in 2002, Kroll Zolfo Cooper, Kroll’s U.S. corporate advisory subsidiary, was given the monumental challenge of restructuring Enron, the fallen energy giant with $65 billion in assets. At the time of Enron’s filing, it was the largest Chapter 11 and it remains the most complex. With Kroll’s Steve Cooper at the helm as Enron’s CEO and chief restructuring officer, a Kroll team is working with Enron’s current management and its creditors committee to implement a plan to maximize value for the company’s stakeholders. (2002-Present)

Ensuring Employee Integrity
A long-standing commitment to workplace safety and employee and customer security was the catalyst for Ryder System’s decision to institute pre-employment screening program for its entire US operations. The global transportation company chose Kroll because of its extensive background screening experience and its ability to develop an Internet- based program customized to Ryder’s needs. Since the program was launched in early 2002, Kroll has conducted background checks on thousands of prospective Ryder employees. (2002-Present)

Identifying Honest Partners
As a crucial element of its expansion in China, Changan Ford, a joint venture between Ford Motor Company and China’s Changan Group, engaged Kroll to conduct due diligence on all of its prospective auto dealers. Working closely with local Changan Ford management, Kroll developed an efficient, economical system for evaluating candidates in a market lacking the typical information sources. Kroll vetted candidates from across China to confirm their managerial qualifications, financial wherewithal, and whether they held land use rights appropriate for an auto dealership. (2002-Present)

Making Public Venues Safe for the Public
Post 9/11, SMG, the world’s largest sports and entertainment facility manager, had good reason to make security a priority. More than 50 million people annually pass through the doors of its arenas, stadiums and convention centers. As part of its ongoing commitment to safeguarding its facilities and guests against terrorism, SMG asked Kroll to conduct an extensive security and emergency management training program at its global managers’ annual meeting in February. The success of this two-day initiative led to an ongoing SMG-Kroll partnership on security issues. To date, Kroll has completed threat assessments and site reviews of more than a dozen SMG venues, including Atlantic City Boardwalk Hall and the Hawaii Convention Center. (2002-Present)

Guarding Against Future Fraud
Kroll was engaged by legal counsel for Autotote, the leading provider of parimutual racing systems and services, after a scandal that rocked the sporting world. An Autotote programmer had spotted a weakness in the communications system connecting all horse racing tracks in the U.S. and exploited it to create a $3 million fake winning ticket for the Breeders Cup races. Although it was clear that Autotote was not at fault, a team of Kroll financial and information security experts was brought in to review the company’s internal controls and assist in an industry-wide audit. Autotote’s concerns were put to rest when the Kroll team reconfirmed the source of the breach and vouched for the effectiveness of the company’s new security measures. (2002)

Winning the Client’s Court Case
Thanks to Kroll’s expert involvement, a four-year dispute between Petrobras, a Brazilian energy company, and two U.S.- based insurance companies regarding cost overruns on the construction of two oil production platforms ended with a U.S. federal court awarding Petrobras more than $340 million in damages plus attorneys’ fees. The company had retained Kroll’s forensic accountants to analyze contract issues, cost overruns and other financial problems, and to provide expert testimony, which the judge referenced more than once in his decision as a key factor for ruling in favor of Petrobras. (2002)

Federal Mogul Administration
When Federal Mogul, a global automotive parts manufacturer, filed for Chapter 11 and Administration protection in the U.S. and the U.K., Kroll was appointed the administrator of its 133 U.K. companies. In this role, which will last several years, Kroll is overseeing the U.K. companies’ operations, leading their reconstruction, and developing a framework for settling an avalanche of asbestos claims which totaled approximately $1.6 billion at the time of the Chapter 11 filing. (2001-present)

Sears Tower Security
Sears Tower, the tallest building in North America, is one of more than 10,000 buildings whose security was entrusted to Kroll after Sept. 11. Kroll’s specialists continue to conduct comprehensive threat assessments, recommend systemic and policy changes, and advise on crisis management plans for building owners worldwide. (2001-present)

Los Angeles Police Department Monitorship
Kroll’s CEO is serving as independent monitor of a landmark federal consent decree mandating major reforms in the Los Angeles Police Department. A 30-person Kroll team is at work on this five-year assignment, reviewing the LAPD’s compliance with reforms designed to end corruption and abuse. (2001-present)

Banorte Anti-Money Laundering Program
Adherence to the anti-money laundering policies and procedures that Kroll put in place enabled Banco Mercantile del Norte S.A. (Banorte) to successfully defend money laundering charges in the United States District Court in Los Angeles, and regain $1.4 million that had been seized by the U.S. government during Operation Casablanca, an undercover operation targeting several banks in Mexico. (1999)

Texas A&M University Bonfire Tragedy
After the bonfire tragedy in which 12 students were killed, Kroll was retained to supervise a team of engineering and other leading consultants investigating the cause of the bonfire’s collapse. Their study led to the adoption of a wide-ranging set of recommendations regarding the annual bonfire celebration. (1999)

Educational Testing Service (ETS) Audit
When The New York Times reported security problems in the administration of certain college and graduate school admission exams, ETS hired Kroll to audit its paper and computer-based testing and scoring systems and to institute new security measures. (1998)

CNN "Tailwind" Controversy
Cable News Network (CNN) hired Kroll to provide an independent opinion on its controversial story alleging that the U.S. used lethal gas in Laos in 1970. CNN later retracted the story and established new review procedures. (1998)

Monitoring of Teamsters Election
Kroll's president was appointed by the U.S. Department of Justice to supervise the election of the president of the Teamsters union. This required investigating James Hoffa Jr., determining if he should be allowed to participate in a rerun election, and then monitoring the election to ensure that it was conducted fairly and honestly. (1997-9

Orange County Derivatives Scandal
Kroll was engaged as a special advisor to the Orange County, Calif., grand jury to evaluate the county’s internal management and investment procedures after it lost $1.7 billion in derivatives trading. (1995)

Long Island Carting Industry Compliance Monitor
Kroll was appointed by the U.S. Attorney’s Office to monitor and enforce the Long Island carting industry’s compliance with a consent decree intended to prevent organized crime activities within the industry. (1994-present)

World Trade Center Security
After the 1993 terrorist bombing of the World Trade Center, Kroll was retained as security consultants to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The security measures and evacuation procedures that the Port Authority instituted on Kroll’s recommendations enabled thousands to evacuate the towers on September 11 in just 45 minutes. Kroll continues to advise on all aspects of the Port Authority’s security. (1993-present)

Investigation of Brazil’s President Collor
A special investigative committee of the Brazilian Congress engaged Kroll to investigate corruption charges against President Fernando Collor de Mello and his campaign manager. During the course of Kroll’s investigation, Congress initiated impeachment proceedings against Collor, who resigned before he could be impeached. (1992)

Trucking Industry Cleanup
Kroll was appointed to monitor the divestiture of the Gambino family's trucking companies in New York's garment industry and to ensure that their successors did not indulge in similar criminal practices. According to The New York Times, as a result of Kroll's work, garment manufacturers estimated that "the average price for shipping a dress, a pair of jeans or a blouse plunged to 15-20 cents from 40-45 cents" in just three years. (1992-1997)

Roberto Calvi Murder
Kroll’s investigation into the death of Italian banker Roberto Calvi, ten years after he was found hanging under a bridge in London, proved it was not suicide and uncovered evidence leading to the arrest of suspects. (1991-94)

Saddam Hussein's Financial Network
The Kuwaiti government hired Kroll to investigate the financial network used by Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein to hide assets in the West. Kroll’s work linked Hussein to millions in assets held through nominees in the U.S. and Europe, exposing his front companies and agents. (1990-91)

Covenant House Founder Scandal
Kroll was hired by a special oversight committee, which included Paul Volcker, Rev. Theodore Hesburg and Cyrus Vance, to investigate allegations of financial improprieties and sexual misconduct by Rev. Bruce Ritter, founder of the New York City home for runaway teenagers. The investigation substantiated the allegations against Father Ritter, but validated Covenant House’s positive contributions and led to the establishment of tighter board controls. (1990)

Reichmann Family Libel Suit
Kroll’s investigation of the Reichmann family’s activities during World War II disproved allegations by a Toronto magazine that the family had collaborated with the Nazis and instead showed that it had taken heroic steps to help other Jews escape the Nazis. The investigation resulted in a front-page retraction and a substantial settlement that the Reichmann family contributed to charity. (1988-90)

Pacific Southwest Airlines Crash
Kroll determined that a shooting on a Pacific Southwest flight, which led to a crash in which 43 people died, was not the vengeful act of a disgruntled employee, but was instead a suicide insurance scheme. (1987)

“Baby Doc” Asset Search
The Haitian government hired Kroll to locate hundreds of millions of dollars appropriated by former dictator Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier. The investigations led to the seizure of bank accounts in New York, London, Luxembourg, Paris and Geneva. (1986)

Marcos Asset Search
A subcommittee of the U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee retained Kroll to investigate reports that Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos and his wife Imelda had secretly amassed millions of dollars in private wealth. Kroll's investigation confirmed that the Marcos were the beneficial owners of office buildings in Manhattan worth almost a billion dollars and linked them to other foreign assets. (1985)

June 3, 2003

This proxy statement is being furnished to stockholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies by Kroll’s board of directors to vote on the matters listed below.

Date, Time and Place

The annual meeting of Kroll stockholders will be held on Tuesday, June 3, 2003, at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Daylight Time, at Hotel Intercontinental — The Barclay, 111 East 48th Street, New York, New York 10017.

Purposes of the Annual Meeting

At the annual meeting, stockholders will consider and vote upon the following proposals:


1. the election of three Class I directors of Kroll and one Class II director of Kroll;

2. the approval of Kroll’s Stock Incentive Plan; and

3. ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as independent public accountants for Kroll for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003.

Record Date; Voting Rights; Quorum; Required Vote

Only holders of record of common stock at the close of business on Tuesday, April 22, 2003, the record date for the annual meeting, are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the annual meeting or at any adjournment or postponement of the annual meeting.

On the record date, 40,067,164 shares of Kroll common stock were outstanding and were held by approximately 210 holders of record. Each share of Kroll common stock is entitled to one vote per share on any matter that properly comes before the annual meeting. Holders of shares of voting stock representing a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of voting stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote must be present at the annual meeting, in person or by proxy, to constitute a quorum to transact business at the annual meeting.

The election of directors requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting. Kroll’s common stock has no cumulative voting rights. The approval of Kroll’s Stock Incentive Plan and the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche as Kroll’s independent public accountants require the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of shares of voting stock present in person or represented by proxy at the annual meeting and entitled to vote.

Share Ownership and Voting Power of Management

On the record date, the directors and officers of Kroll, including their affiliates, held a total of 3,428,413 shares of common stock or approximately 8.6% of the shares of common stock then outstanding. Kroll currently expects that its directors and officers will vote all of these shares in favor of: (1) the election of the directors proposed by Kroll, (2) the approval of the Kroll Inc. Stock Incentive Plan and (3) ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as independent public accountants for Kroll for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors of Kroll

The board of directors has unanimously approved the slate of nominees proposed for election to the Kroll board of directors and unanimously recommends that stockholders vote to elect them. See “Proposal No. 1 — Election of Directors.”

Table of Contents

The board of directors has unanimously approved the Kroll Inc. Stock Incentive Plan and unanimously recommends that stockholders vote to approve this plan. See “Proposal No. 2 — Approval of Kroll’s Stock Incentive Plan.”

The board of directors has unanimously approved the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as Kroll’s independent public accounts for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003 and unanimously recommends that stockholders vote to ratify this appointment. See “Proposal No. 3 — Ratification of Appointment of Independent Public Accountants.”

Voting and Revocation of Proxies; Shares Held in “Street Name”

Stockholders may vote their shares by attending the annual meeting and voting their shares in person, or by completing the enclosed proxy card, signing and dating it and mailing it in the enclosed postage-prepaid envelope. If a written proxy card is signed by a stockholder and returned without instructions, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted FOR the proposals described above.

Stockholders that have questions or requests for assistance in completing and submitting proxy cards should contact the General Counsel of Kroll, at the following address and telephone number:

Kroll Inc.
900 Third Avenue
New York, New York 10022
Attention: Sabrina Perel, Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary
Phone No.: (212) 593-1000

Stockholders who hold their shares in “street name,” meaning in the name of a bank, broker or other record holder, must either direct the record holder of their shares how to vote their shares or obtain a proxy from the record holder to vote at the annual meeting.

Under the applicable rules of the Nasdaq National Market, brokers who hold shares in street names for customers who are the beneficial owners of those shares are prohibited from giving a proxy to vote those customers’ shares with respect to non-routine matters to be voted on at the annual meeting in the absence of specific instructions from the customer. Brokers are also required to request these instructions from beneficial owners of shares. However, brokers who hold shares in street names for customers may vote those shares for certain routine matters, including the election of directors, the approval of incentive plans that do not involve amounts in excess of 5% of the outstanding stock and the ratification of the appointment of independent public accountants. If a stockholder who holds its shares in street name does not provide instructions to its broker, the broker may still vote those shares on those routine matters.

For purposes of determining whether a quorum is present, abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted. Because the election of directors requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting, abstentions and broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of this election. Because each of the approval of Kroll’s Stock Incentive Plan and the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche as Kroll’s independent public accountants requires the vote of a majority of the voting power of shares of voting stock present in person or represented by proxy at the annual meeting and entitled to vote, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the effect of a vote against the proposals.

All properly delivered proxies that are not revoked will be voted at the annual meeting as instructed on those proxies. A stockholder who delivers a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is voted, by:


• delivering a proxy bearing a later date;

• giving written notice of revocation to any of the persons named as proxies or to Kroll addressed to the Secretary; or

• attending the special meeting and voting in person.

The board of directors is unaware of any other matters that properly may be presented for action at the annual meeting. However, if other matters do come before the annual meeting or any adjournment or

2

Table of Contents

postponement of the annual meeting in compliance with the procedures set forth in Kroll’s by-laws, proxies will be voted on those matters in accordance with the discretion of the proxies.

Solicitation of Proxies

Kroll may use its directors, officers and employees to solicit proxies. These people will not receive any additional compensation for their services, but will be reimbursed for their out-of-pocket expenses. In addition, Kroll has retained Georgeson Shareholder Communications, Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies. Kroll will pay Georgeson a customary fee plus reasonable expenses for these services. Kroll will reimburse banks, brokers, nominees, custodians and fiduciaries for their reasonable expenses in forwarding copies of the proxy soliciting material to the beneficial owners of common stock and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners. Kroll will bear all expenses of printing and mailing this proxy statement.

PROPOSAL NO. 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Kroll’s corporate powers are exercised, and its business, property and affairs are managed, by or under the direction of its board of directors. Kroll’s board of directors is divided into three classes of directors. One class is up for election each year. This results in a staggered board which ensures continuity from year to year. Currently there are four directors in Class I, two directors in Class II and three directors in Class III. Following the annual meeting, it is expected that there will be three directors in each class.

At the annual meeting, three persons will be elected to serve as Class I directors whose terms will expire at the 2006 annual meeting or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified and one person will be elected to serve as a Class II director whose term will expire at the 2004 annual meeting or until his successor is duly elected and qualified. The nominating committee has nominated, and the board of directors has approved the nomination of, Peter A. Cohen, Thomas E. Constance and Michael D. Shmerling for election as Class I directors with a term expiring in 2006. Each of these nominees is currently a director of Kroll. In addition, the nominating committee has nominated, and the board of directors has approved the nomination of, Simon V. Freakley for election as a Class II director with a term expiring in 2004.

The shares represented by the enclosed proxy will be voted in favor of the persons nominated, unless a vote is withheld from any or all of the individual nominees. While management has no reason to believe that the nominees will not be available as candidates, if that situation should arise, proxies may be voted for the election of those other persons as the holders of the proxies may, in their discretion, determine.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of the votes cast at the annual meeting is required for the election of directors.

The board of directors unanimously recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” each of the nominees.

PROPOSAL NO. 2

APPROVAL OF KROLL’S STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

Introduction

In 1998, Kroll adopted its 1998 Stock Incentive Plan to attract and retain employees by providing incentives for continued service with Kroll. As originally adopted, the plan provided for the grant of up to 500,000 shares of common stock in the aggregate to employees of Kroll and its subsidiaries. The 1998 Stock Incentive Plan was not presented to stockholders for approval because, at the time the board of directors adopted the plan, the board of directors did not expect to grant awards of common stock to executive officers in excess of a de minimis amount of 25,000 shares or to non-employee directors at all.

However, the board of directors now believes that expanding the plan to permit grants to executive officers and non-employee directors as well as to all other employees of Kroll and its subsidiaries will help Kroll (1) attract and retain executive officers and directors by providing an additional mechanism for long-term incentive compensation and (2) motivate these people to achieve their performance objectives. Accordingly, the board of directors has approved the Kroll Inc. Stock Incentive Plan, which amends and restates the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan to modify the restriction on the number of shares of common stock that may be awarded to executive officers, to provide that non-employee directors are now eligible to receive awards, to allow no more than 50,000 shares to be awarded annually to any eligible person and to provide that

Table of Contents

shares of common stock may be granted without requiring payment from the participants, as well as to include some minor changes from the original plan. As a result of these changes and to allow grants of common stock to qualify as “performance-based” awards for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the board of directors is submitting the Kroll Inc. Stock Incentive Plan to Kroll stockholders for their approval.

Description of the Plan

The following description of the plan is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Kroll Inc. Stock Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement as Annex A.

Eligible Persons. Commencing on June 3, 2003, the plan will cover all (i) regular full-time employees of Kroll and its subsidiaries and (ii) non-employee directors of Kroll.

Awards. Up to 500,000 shares of common stock may be issued under the plan; however, no more than 50,000 shares may be granted to any eligible person during any calendar year. Shares of common stock related to any portion of an award or grant that is forfeited will again be available for awards and grants under the plan. Appropriate adjustments in the number of shares issuable and in the number of shares covered by outstanding awards will be made to give effect to any changes in Kroll’s capitalization, such as stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and similar actions.

The plan provides for the granting of incentive shares and performance awards. Incentive shares may be granted by the compensation committee, at its discretion, and shall be subject to such terms, conditions or restrictions as the compensation committee shall determine. Certificates representing the shares shall be issued, or an account will be established evidencing ownership of the shares in uncertificated form. Upon issuance of the certificates or establishment of the account, the participant shall have the rights of a shareholder with respect to such shares, subject to such restrictions as the compensation committee shall determine.

Performance awards may be granted at the discretion of the compensation committee. At the time of grant the compensation committee shall determine the performance targets and whether the performance award shall be payable in common stock or in cash. Prior to the date of payment, the award recipient may request the deferral of payment until the time of his or her termination.

Protection of Deduction under Section 162(m). The compensation committee has the discretion to require that any grant of incentive shares or performance award meet the requirements for deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. For these purposes, a grant of incentive shares or a performance award must be “performance based,” and performance targets may be expressed in terms of one or more corporate or divisional earnings-based measures (which may be based on net income, operating income, cash flow, residual income or any combination thereof), and or one or more corporate or divisional sales or fee-based measures. Any such target may be expressed on an absolute or relative basis, may use comparisons with the Company’s past performance or the current or past performance of other companies and may utilize comparisons to capital, stockholders’ equity and shares outstanding. In addition, the committee may require that payment of any award or grant be delayed until such time as it would be deductible under Section 162(m) of the Code.

Administration. The plan will be administered by the compensation committee, or a subcommittee of the compensation committee, comprised of at least two directors, formed by the recusal of certain members for purposes of meeting the requirements of (1) Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (requiring that awards to certain officers, directors and primary shareholders be approved by a committee comprised entirely of “non-employee directors”), and/or (2) Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (requiring that awards be approved by a committee solely made up of “outside directors”). All determinations of the compensation committee with respect to the plan are binding. The expenses of administering the plan are borne by Kroll.

Table of Contents

Power to Amend. The board of directors may amend or terminate the plan at any time. If terminated, any incentive shares and performance awards previously granted shall continue to be subject to the terms of the plan and the applicable award agreement. No award may be granted under the plan after June 2, 2013.

If Kroll enters into an agreement for the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets or in the event of a reorganization, merger or consolidation of Kroll in which (1) Kroll is not to be the surviving corporation or (2) Kroll is the surviving corporation and (a) the stockholders receive cash, property or other assets in the reorganization, merger or consolidation or (b) the stockholders of Kroll immediately prior to the reorganization, merger or consolidation own less than 51% of the surviving corporation, all outstanding incentive shares and performance awards will immediately become fully vested without regard to any vesting schedule, restriction or performance target.

Material Federal Income Tax Consequences

The recipient of incentive shares generally will be subject to tax at ordinary income rates on the fair market value of the shares received less any amount paid by the recipient for those shares at the time that the shares have vested and are no longer subject to restriction or forfeiture for purposes of Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code. However, a recipient who makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code within 30 days of the date of grant of incentive shares will have taxable ordinary income on the date of grant equal to the excess of the fair market value of those shares over the purchase price, if any, of those shares, determined without regard to the restrictions or potential forfeiture. If a Section 83(b) election has not been made, any dividends received on incentive shares generally will be treated as compensation that is taxable as ordinary income to the recipient.

No income generally will be recognized upon the grant of performance awards. Upon satisfaction of the applicable performance targets, the recipient generally will be required to include as taxable ordinary income in the year of receipt an amount equal to the amount of cash received or the fair market value of any unrestricted shares of common stock received.

No income generally will be recognized upon the grant of deferred incentive shares or deferred performance awards. The receipt of a deferred grant generally will be subject to tax at ordinary income rates on the fair market value of unrestricted shares of common stock on the date that those shares are transferred to the recipient, reduced by any amount paid by the recipient for the deferred shares.

To the extent that a participant in the plan recognizes ordinary income as described above, Kroll will be entitled to a corresponding deduction provided that, among other things, the income meets the test of reasonableness, is an ordinary and necessary business expense, is not an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code and is not disallowed by the $1 million limitation on certain executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Grant Information

As of April 15, 2003, 50,000 incentive shares had been granted under the original 1998 Stock Incentive Plan. As of April 15, 2003, incentive share grants had been made under the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan in the following amounts: Mr. Kroll, none; Mr. Cherkasky, 6,000 shares; Mr. Petrullo, none; Mr. Bucknam, 2,000 shares; Mr. Beber, none; all current executive officers as a group, 10,500 shares; all non-employee directors as a group, none; and all employees, other than current executive officers, as a group, 37,000 shares.

The table below sets forth information regarding grants that have been approved by the compensation committee under the proposed Stock Incentive Plan, subject to the approval of the plan by Kroll stockholders. If the plan is not approved by stockholders, these grants will be rescinded.

The board of directors unanimously recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Kroll Inc. Stock Incentive Plan.

PROPOSAL NO. 3

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

The board of directors, on the recommendation of the audit committee, has approved the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent public accountants, to audit Kroll’s consolidated financial statements for the current fiscal year ending December 31, 2003. In making its recommendation, the audit committee reviewed the audit results and the other non-audit services performed during 2002 and proposed to be performed in 2003. In selecting Deloitte & Touche, the audit committee and the board of directors carefully considered its independence. The audit committee has determined that the performance of non-audit services did not impair the independence of Deloitte & Touche.

Kroll expects that a representative of Deloitte & Touche will be present at the annual meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so and will be available to answer any appropriate questions.

Stockholder ratification of the selection of Deloitte & Touche as Kroll’s independent public accountants is not required by Kroll’s bylaws or other applicable legal requirement. However, the board of directors is submitting the appointment of Deloitte & Touche to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the appointment, the audit committee and the board of directors in their discretion will reconsider whether or not to retain Deloitte & Touche. Even if the appointment is ratified, the board of directors, in its discretion, may nevertheless appoint a different independent public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in Kroll’s best interests and in the best interests of its stockholders.

(1) All options vest in installments as follows: 1/3 of the grant vests on the date that is twelve months after the date of grant and 1/6 of the grant vests every six months thereafter. The exercise price of all options may be paid in cash or by the transfer of shares of Kroll’s common stock valued at their fair market value on the date of exercise. Each option becomes exercisable in full in the event of the execution of an agreement of merger, consolidation or reorganization pursuant to which Kroll is not to be the surviving corporation or the execution of an agreement of sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Kroll.

(2) The grant date present value is derived from a variation of the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The calculation assumes that no dividends will be declared during the life of these options. Additionally, the calculation assumes an expected option exercise life of 60 months (five years) with a corresponding risk-free interest rate of 3% based on the five-year United States treasury note yield as of December 31, 2002. Furthermore, the calculation assumes a stock volatility of 59%.

Employment Agreements. In March 2003 Jules B. Kroll entered into an employment agreement with Kroll for an “evergreen” two year term. The agreement provides for a base salary of $500,000 for 2003 and for subsequent annual calendar year increases of at least 4%. Mr. Kroll will be eligible to receive an annual bonus to be determined by the board of directors based on the performance of Kroll. Mr. Kroll also is entitled to participate in Kroll’s stock option, stock incentive and other benefit plans. In connection with the agreement, Mr. Kroll received a grant of 50,000 options. On each three-year anniversary of the agreement he will receive an additional $350,000. In the event Mr. Kroll’s agreement is terminated for any reason, he is entitled to receive compensation in accordance with Kroll’s normal pay practices upon a termination of employees for similar reasons. In addition, in the event the agreement is terminated due to Mr. Kroll’s death or disability or by Kroll for other than cause or by Mr. Kroll for good reason, he is entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to the value of his salary for the remainder of the term. Under his agreement, “cause” means the failure of Mr. Kroll to perform his duties as Executive Chairman, Mr. Kroll’s breach of the employment agreement that is not cured, gross insubordination or disloyalty to Kroll or pleading no contest or guilty to or being convicted of a felony. Under his agreement, “good reason” means any person or group other than Jules Kroll becoming the beneficial owner of 35% or more of the voting power of Kroll’s securities, any change in duties or responsibilities, any limitation on Mr. Kroll’s powers as Executive Chairman, a reduction in compensation or Kroll’s failure to comply with the employment agreement, all of which are subject to Kroll’s ability to cure. The agreement restricts Mr. Kroll from competing with Kroll during the term of the agreement and for two years after termination of the agreement if termination of employment is for cause or voluntary by him. In addition, the agreement provides for compensation arrangements if he leaves Kroll for any reason other than for cause. Additionally, Mr. Kroll has agreed that during his employment and at any time thereafter he will not and will not allow anyone else to use or license the name “Kroll” in connection with any business, goods or services which compete with any aspect of Kroll’s business.

In May 1999 Michael G. Cherkasky entered into an employment agreement with Kroll for an “evergreen” two year term. The agreement provides for a base salary of $400,000 for 1999 and for subsequent annual calendar year increases of at least 4%. Mr. Cherkasky also is entitled to participate in Kroll’s annual bonus, stock option, stock incentive and other benefit plans. In connection with the agreement, he received a signing bonus of $140,000, payable $40,000 in May 1999 and $100,000 in January 2000. On each three-year anniversary of the agreement he will receive an additional $350,000. In the event the agreement is terminated due to Mr. Cherkasky’s death or disability or by Kroll for other than cause or by Mr. Cherkasky for good reason, he is entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to the value of his salary, annual bonus, the three-year anniversary payment, stock options and incentive stock for the remainder of the term. Under his agreement, “cause” means conviction of a felony and “good reason” includes a change in duties or responsibilities, a reduction in compensation or any person or group other than Jules Kroll becoming the

beneficial owner of 35% or more of the voting power of Kroll’s securities. The agreement restricts Mr. Cherkasky from competing with Kroll during the term of the agreement. On June 13, 2002, Mr. Cherkasky’s employment agreement was amended to provide for: (1) an increase in annual base salary to $550,000; (2) the payment of an annual bonus to be determined by the board of directors based on Kroll’s performance; (3) a grant of 50,000 stock options awarded upon the effective date of the amendment to the employment agreement; (4) a grant of 25,000 incentive shares awarded effective January 1, 2003, vesting pro rata over three years; and (5) compensation arrangements if he leaves Kroll for any reason other than for cause.

Kroll has entered into employment agreements with each of the following named executive officers providing for annual base salaries in the listed amounts: Michael A. Petrullo $190,000 (expiring on February 1, 2005); Michael A. Beber, $335,000 (expiring upon termination by Kroll pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement or by Mr. Beber upon three months prior written notice to Kroll) and James R. Bucknam, $350,000 (expiring on December 31, 2004). Each of these executive officers is also entitled to participate in an annual bonus plan established by the compensation committee and/or the board of directors. Under Mr. Petrullo’s employment agreement, Kroll can terminate Mr. Petrullo’s employment at any time with or without cause, except that, in a case of termination without cause, Mr. Petrullo is entitled to receive compensation for the greater of the balance of the term of the agreement or six months. Under Mr. Bucknam’s employment agreement, Kroll can terminate Mr. Bucknam’s employment at any time with or without cause, except that, in a case of termination without cause, Mr. Bucknam is entitled to receive compensation for the greater of the balance of the term of the agreement or one year. Under Mr. Beber’s employment agreement, Kroll can terminate Mr. Beber’s employment at any time with or without cause, except that, in a case of termination without cause, Mr. Beber is entitled to receive compensation for the lesser of the balance of the term of the agreement or an amount equal to his base monthly salary times the number of years of his employment with Kroll and Lindquist Avey Macdonald Baskerville Inc. Mr. Petrullo’s employment agreement provides that if Kroll does not renew the agreement for at least one year at the end of the term, Mr. Petrullo will receive an amount equal to six months of base salary. Mr. Bucknam’s employment agreement provides that if Kroll does not renew the agreement for at least one year at the end of the term, Mr. Bucknam will receive an amount equal to one year’s base salary. Each of Mr. Petrullo’s and Mr. Bucknam’s employment agreement restricts him from competing with Kroll during the term of the agreement and for two years after termination of the agreement if termination of employment is for cause or voluntary by him. Mr. Beber’s employment agreement restricts him from competing with Kroll during the term of the agreement and, subject to geographic and other limitations, for one year after termination of the agreement.

on May 11, 2010. The plan is not required to be and has not been approved by Kroll stockholders. The plan provides for the granting of non-qualified stock options to employees of Kroll and its subsidiaries who are not officers of Kroll at the fair market value of Kroll common stock at the grant date. Unless the option grants provide otherwise, each stock option granted under this plan vests in three equal installments on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant. Options granted under the plan generally have terms of ten years.

Kroll has a total of 500,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under its 1998 Stock Incentive Plan. The plan became effective on August 12, 1998 and will expire on August 11, 2008. The plan is not required to be and has not been approved by Kroll stockholders, unless more than 25,000 shares in the aggregate are awarded to executive officers of Kroll. But see “Proposal 2 — Approval of Kroll’s Stock Incentive Plan.” The 1998 Stock Incentive Plan provides for the grant of restricted shares of Kroll common stock to employees of Kroll and its subsidiaries at a purchase price to be determined by the compensation committee. The restricted shares of Kroll common stock cannot be transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of until they have vested. The vesting period for grants of restricted stock is determined by the compensation committee and has generally varied with each grant.

In November 1998, Kroll acquired Laboratory Specialists of America, Inc. In this acquisition, all outstanding options to purchase shares of Laboratory Specialists that were unexercised at the time of completion of the acquisition became fully vested and were assumed by Kroll. Following the acquisition, no more options were issued under the Laboratory Specialists plan that was assumed by Kroll. Each option granted under the Laboratory Specialists plan that is still outstanding is fully vested and

In 1998 Kroll adopted a Stock Incentive Plan providing for the grant of shares of restricted stock, primarily to non-executive officer management employees. In addition to awards of restricted stock to 14 non-executive employees, three of Kroll’s current executive officers have been awarded restricted stock under the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan. Mr. Cherkasky received a grant of 6,000 shares of restricted stock under this plan in 1999. Mr. Bucknam received a grant of 2,000 shares of restricted stock under this plan in 2000. Ms. Perel received a grant of 2,500 shares of restricted stock under this plan in 2002. Separately, Mr. Cherkasky received a grant of 25,000 shares of restricted stock effective on January 2, 2003 in connection with the amendment of his employment agreement. This grant to Mr. Cherkasky was not made under the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan.

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and its related regulations limit the deductibility of non-“performance based” compensation received by each of Kroll’s named executive officers to $1 million per year. Compensation meeting criteria specified in Section 162(m) is considered “performance based” and is excluded from the limitation on deductibility. Kroll’s 1996 Stock Option Plan and all options granted to Kroll’s executive officers under the plan are designed to meet the Section 162(m) criteria for performance based compensation. The policy of the compensation committee is to maintain a compensation program that maximizes the creation of long-term stockholder value. Deductibility of compensation is only one of many factors used by the compensation committee to determine appropriate levels of compensation, and in the future the compensation committee may reevaluate the importance of the deductibility of compensation. The compensation committee currently does not expect the Section 162(m) limitation to be an issue in its compensation decisions during 2003.

Report of the Audit Committee

The audit committee of the board of directors reviewed and discussed with Kroll management Kroll’s audited financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. The audit committee also discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP, Kroll’s independent public accountants, the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as modified or supplemented, regarding the scope and results of the annual audit. The audit committee also received the written disclosures and the letter from Deloitte & Touche required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, as modified or supplemented, and discussed with Deloitte & Touche its independence from Kroll. The audit committee also considered the fees and services of Deloitte & Touche as disclosed under “Auditors’ Fees and Services” below and determined that such fees and services are compatible with maintaining the independence of Deloitte & Touche.

Based on the foregoing review and discussions, the audit committee recommended to the board of directors that the audited financial statements be included in Kroll’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002.

As is more further described in Proposal 3 in this proxy statement, the audit committee also approved and recommended to the board that they approve, subject to stockholder ratification, the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as Kroll’s independent public accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003.

Table of Contents

Arthur Andersen LLP, which had been Kroll’s independent public accountants for the year ended December 31, 2000, billed Kroll $5,000 for professional services rendered in connection with a review of some of Kroll’s financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001.

Financial Information Systems Design and Implementation Services. Kroll did not engage Deloitte & Touche to provide advice regarding financial information systems design and implementation during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002.

All Other Fees. In addition to the audit fees, Deloitte & Touche billed Kroll (1) $112,182 for professional services rendered in connection with a review of Kroll’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 that was initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 26, 2001, (2) $447,950 for professional services rendered in connection with the acquisition of Ontrack Data International Inc. and a review of Kroll’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 that was filed with the SEC on April 26, 2002, (3) $849,901 for professional services rendered in connection with the acquisition of Zolfo Cooper LLC, (4) $569,718 for professional services rendered in connection with the public offering of 6.3 million shares of Kroll common stock and a review of Kroll’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 that was initially filed with the SEC on September 5, 2002, (5) $129,224 for professional services rendered in connection with a review of Kroll’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 that was filed with the SEC on November 12, 2002, (6) $102,360 for tax consulting and compliance work, (7) $178,030 for professional services rendered in connection with Kroll’s disposition of the Security Products and Services Group, which was sold in August 2001, and ( $45,000 for miscellaneous projects.

In addition to the above fees, Arthur Andersen billed Kroll (1) $54,500 for professional services rendered in connection with a review of Kroll’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 that was initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 26, 2001 and (2) $20,000 for professional services rendered in connection with a review of Kroll’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 that was filed with the SEC on April 26, 2002.

Changes in Accountants

On September 28, 2001, Kroll appointed Deloitte & Touche as the independent accounting firm to audit its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001, and dismissed Arthur Andersen LLP. This decision was approved by the audit committee of the board of directors on September 28, 2001.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000 and the subsequent interim period through September 28, 2001, there were no disagreements with Arthur Andersen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Arthur Andersen would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in their report. None of Arthur Andersen’s reports on Kroll’s financial statements for either of the fiscal years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000 contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

In early 2001, Kroll was advised by Arthur Andersen of a material weakness in the ability to timely and accurately close the books of certain of Kroll’s business units, including timely and accurate account reconciliation and financial analysis, which units were subsequently sold. The material weakness that had affected Kroll has not existed since then because these business units are no longer a part of the continuing business of the Company.

In addition, during Kroll’s two most recent fiscal years or the subsequent interim period, there were no other reportable events in accordance with Item 304(a)(1)(v) (A)-(D) of Regulation S-K.

KROLL STOCK PRICE PERFORMANCE

The following graph compares the performance of Kroll’s common stock with the performance of companies included in the Russell 2000 Index of Small Capitalization Companies and in a self-constructed peer group index.

Because Kroll has operated in multiple business segments, no published peer group accurately mirrors Kroll’s business. Accordingly, Kroll has created a special peer group, which is referred to in the above graph and chart as the “new peer group,” currently composed of ChoicePoint, Inc., FTI Consulting, Inc., BearingPoint, Inc. (formerly KPMG Consulting, Inc.) and Navigant Consulting, Inc. The returns of each company are weighted according to its respective stock market capitalization. The peer group was selected based upon criteria including business activities, industries served, size of company and market capitalization. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, the peer group included Armor Holdings, Inc. instead of Navigant Consulting, Inc., but Armor Holdings is no longer regarded as a peer after Kroll’s disposition of its Securities Products and Services Group to Armor Holdings in August 2001. The graph above has been revised to reflect the new peer group, but includes the old peer group for comparative purposes.

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires Kroll’s executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of Kroll’s equity securities, to file reports of security ownership and changes in that ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These persons are also required by SEC regulations to furnish Kroll with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based upon a review of copies of these forms and written representations from its executive officers and directors, Kroll believes that all Section 16(a) forms were filed on a timely basis during and for 2002, except that the Form 3 for Dean Areen was filed late.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

In connection with Kroll’s initial public offering, the Board of Directors adopted a policy requiring that any future transactions, including loans, between Kroll and its officers, directors, principal stockholders and their affiliates, be on terms no less favorable to Kroll than could be obtained from unrelated third parties and that any such transactions be approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors.

Described below are certain transactions and relationships between Kroll and certain of its officers, directors and stockholders, which have occurred during the last fiscal year. Except with respect to interest rates charged on certain of the intercompany notes and accounts payable/receivable, Kroll believes that the material terms of the various transactions were as favorable as could have been obtained from unrelated third parties.

Intercompany Notes and Accounts Payable/ Receivable and Certain Loans

During 2002, Kroll rendered risk management services, including marketing support, and claim investigations services to American International Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries. AIG was a beneficial owner of more than five percent of Kroll common stock through September 2002. Kroll billed AIG and its subsidiaries $2,780,144 in 2002 for these services. The accounts receivable balance for AIG was $670,176 at December 31, 2002. Since 1995, Kroll has purchased some of its liability insurance, including Professional Errors and Omissions and Directors and Officers liability insurance, from AIG subsidiaries. AIG’s subsidiaries billed Kroll $1,709,411 for this insurance during 2002. Kroll obtains the coverage through an independent insurance broker and where possible obtains competitive proposals from unrelated third parties.

Kroll Background America leases office space and furnishings in Nashville, Tennessee from companies controlled by Mr. Shmerling and his family. For the year ended December 31, 2002, Kroll Background America leased 25,343 square feet of space and paid rent of $534,272. Kroll Background America subleases a portion of its Nashville office space to Kroll for its information technology department. For the year ended December 31, 2002, Kroll subleased 3,510 square feet of office space from Kroll Background America and paid rent of $86,690.

Other

Mr. Constance, who became a director of Kroll in December 2000, is a partner in the law firm of Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP, which provides legal services to Kroll.

Annex A

KROLL INC. STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
As Amended and Restated Effective June 3, 2003

1. Name and Purpose. This Plan is an amended and restated version of the Kroll-O’Gara Company 1998 Stock Incentive Plan, which shall henceforth be known as the Kroll Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of Kroll Inc. (the “Company”) by providing material incentive for the continued services of employees and directors and by attracting able individuals to service for the Company and its Subsidiaries. The term “Subsidiary” as used herein means a subsidiary corporation of the Company as the term is defined in Section 424(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”).

2. Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company (or a subcommittee thereof comprised of at least two directors formed by the recusal of certain members for purposes of carrying out the provisions of this Paragraph 2). For the purpose of awards to, and approval of other transactions with, persons who are subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) with respect to the Company, each member of the Committee shall be a “Non-Employee Director” as defined in Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. To the extent that it is desired that compensation resulting from a particular award be excluded from the deduction limitation of Section 162(m) of the Code, all directors comprising the Committee granting such award shall be “outside directors” within the meaning of Code Section 162(m). Nothing in this Plan shall prohibit any function of the Committee under this Plan from being performed by the Board. The Committee may establish, subject to the provisions of the Plan, such rules and regulations as it deems necessary for the proper administration of the Plan, and make such determinations and take such action in connection therewith or in relation to the Plan as it deems necessary or advisable, consistent with the Plan.

3. Eligibility. Regular full-time employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries and non-employee directors of the Company shall be eligible to participate in the Plan. Such employees and directors are herein referred to as “Eligible Persons.” Eligible Persons to whom Incentive Shares are awarded (as provided for in Paragraph 5) or to whom Performance Awards are granted (as provided for in Paragraph are referred to herein as “Participants.”

4. Shares Subject to the Plan.

(a) The shares to be issued and delivered by the Company under the Plan are shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value (the “Common Stock”), which may be either authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares.

(b) Subject to adjustment as provided in Paragraph 9, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued under the Plan shall not exceed five hundred thousand (500,000) shares, and the maximum number of shares that may be awarded or granted to the same Eligible Person within a single calendar year shall be fifty thousand (50,000).

(c) If any portion of an award of Incentive Shares or a grant of a Performance Award is forfeited, the shares of Common Stock related thereto shall again be available for issuance in connection with other grants or awards under this Plan.

5. Awards of Incentive Shares.

(a) The Committee from time to time, in its discretion and subject to the provisions of the Plan, may award shares of Common Stock to any or all Eligible Persons. Shares of Common Stock awarded under this Paragraph 5 of the Plan are referred to herein as “Incentive Shares.”

(b) The Committee shall advise each Participant to whom an award of Incentive Shares has been made in writing of the terms of the offer, including the number of shares which such person shall be entitled to receive, the purchase price per share (if any), and any other terms, conditions and restrictions relating thereto.

Table of Contents

Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have the power to make such award subject to any terms and conditions it may establish (which may include, among others, vesting requirements and criteria relating to future individual and/ or corporate performance) and the awards made to different persons, or to the same person at different times, may be subject to terms, conditions and restrictions which differ from each other. The Committee, in its discretion, may reserve the right to defer payment of any such award until such time as the payment of the award would not cause the Company to lose the deduction for such payment on account of the limit on deductible compensation under section 162(m) of the Code, under whatever terms and conditions (including the conversion of the award to phantom stock or some other form of deferred compensation) as the Committee deems appropriate. If the Committee incorporates performance targets into the terms of an Incentive Share award to permit its deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Code, the performance targets shall be expressed in accordance with Paragraph 8 hereof.

(c) Each award shall be embodied in an “Incentive Share Agreement” signed by the Participant and the Company providing that the Incentive Shares shall be subject to the provisions of this Plan and containing such other provisions, terms and conditions the Committee may prescribe not inconsistent with the Plan. Execution of the Incentive Share Agreement shall constitute the Participant’s acceptance of the Incentive Share award.

(d) Certificates representing the shares shall be issued to or for the Participant as soon as practical after execution of the Incentive Share Agreement. The certificates shall bear an appropriate legend reflecting that such shares are subject to the restrictions contained in this Plan and the Participant’s Incentive Share Agreement. Incentive Shares issued under this Plan shall not be transferred, delivered, assigned, sold, or disposed of in any manner, nor pledged or otherwise hypothecated, except as permitted under the applicable Incentive Share Agreement. In lieu of Incentive Share Certificates, the Company may establish an account for the Participant evidencing ownership of the shares in uncertificated form. Upon the issuance of such certificates or establishment of such account, the Participant shall have the rights of a shareholder with respect to the Incentive Shares, subject to (i) the restrictions on transfer and vesting requirements set forth in the Incentive Share Agreement, (ii) in the Committee’s discretion, the requirement that any dividends paid on such shares be held in escrow until all restrictions on such shares have lapsed, and (iii) any other conditions or restrictions contained in the Incentive Share Agreement. The Committee, in its discretion, may determine that certificates for Incentive Shares awarded to a Participant shall remain in the possession of the Company until such shares are vested and fully transferable.

6. Termination of Employment or Service While Incentive Shares Are Forfeitable.

(a) Unless the Incentive Share Agreement provides otherwise, if a Participant’s employment with, or service as a director of, the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates because of death, disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), or retirement after attaining age 65 (or, if earlier, any normal retirement age under the applicable provisions of any retirement plan of the Company or any Subsidiary), any Incentive Shares awarded to such Participant shall be fully vested and nonforfeitable on the date such Participant terminates employment or service.

(b) Unless the Incentive Share Agreement provides otherwise, if a Participant’s employment with, or service as a director of, the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason other than those specified in Paragraph 6(a), the Participant shall forfeit (and, if applicable, shall be required to resell to the Company at his original purchase price) all of the Incentive Shares in which he is not yet vested, unless the Committee shall, in its discretion, waive the restrictions under Paragraph 5(b) as to any part or all of the Incentive Shares. Any dividends paid with respect to forfeited Incentive Shares shall also be forfeited, and either the escrow account holding such dividends shall be terminated and the money returned to the Company or the Participant shall repay any such dividends he received directly.

7. Resale of Incentive Shares. In the event a Participant forfeits all or a portion of an Incentive Share award and is required to resell Incentive Shares to the Company as the result of the termination of the Participant’s employment or service as described in Paragraph 6(b) or in accordance with the terms of the Incentive Share Agreement, the Company by written notice to the Participant shall specify a date not less than five nor more than ten days from the date of such notice to consummate the purchase and sale of such

Table of Contents

Incentive Shares at the principal office of the Company. The Participant shall take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that the Company receives or holds certificates representing such Incentive Shares which have been duly endorsed and are in proper form for transfer, whereupon the Company shall deliver to the Participant a check in the amount of the purchase price. If the Participant fails to deliver the share certificates to the Company or take other appropriate action to accomplish the resale at the time specified in such notice, the Company may deposit the purchase price with the Treasurer of the Company, and thereafter the shares shall be deemed to have been transferred to the Company and the Participant shall have no further rights as a stockholder of the Company in respect of such shares. In such event, the Treasurer of the Company shall continue to hold the purchase price for such shares and shall make payment thereof, without interest, upon delivery of the share certificates to the Company or completion of any other actions required by the Committee.

8. Performance Awards. The Committee may, from time to time, in its discretion and subject to the provisions of the Plan, provide an incentive opportunity (“Performance Awards”) to any or all Eligible Persons based on achievement by the Company for any calendar year or other period chosen by the Committee. Each Performance Award shall be embodied in a “Performance Award Agreement” signed by the Participant and the Company providing that the Performance Award shall be subject to the provisions of this Plan and containing such other provisions the Committee may prescribe not inconsistent with the Plan. The Committee will determine, in its sole discretion, the performance targets and whether Performance Awards should be payable in the form of Common Stock or cash. Performance targets may be expressed in terms of one or more corporate or divisional earnings-based measures (which may be based on net income, operating income, cash flow, residual income or any combination thereof), and or one or more corporate or divisional sales or fee-based measures. Any such target may be expressed on an absolute or relative basis, may use comparisons with the Company’s past performance or the current or past performance of other companies and may utilize comparisons to capital, shareholders’ equity and shares outstanding. If a Participant requests, prior to the date on which payment of the Performance Award is to be made, that such payment not be made until termination of the Participant’s employment or service as a director, then the Committee shall consider and act upon such request promptly. If no deferral request is made by a Participant, the payment shall be made in the time period chosen by the Committee (which may be a deferred date mandated by the Committee to ensure deductibility of the Performance Award).

9. Share Adjustments. In the event of a change in the Common Stock resulting from a stock split, stock dividend, combination or exchange of shares, or other similar capital adjustment, equitable proportionate adjustment shall be made by the Committee in (a) the number of shares available for issuance under this Plan and (b) the number (and, if appropriate, the price) of shares subject to outstanding awards and grants made under this Plan.

10. Merger, Consolidation, or Sale of Assets. Except as otherwise provided in any Incentive Share Agreement, Performance Award Agreement or other agreement approved by the Committee to which an Eligible Person is a party, in the event of (a) a reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company with one or more corporations as a result of which (1) the Company is not to be the surviving corporation (whether or not the Company shall be dissolved or liquidated) or (2) the Company is the surviving corporation and (x) the stockholders receive cash, property or other assets in the reorganization, merger or consolidation or (y) the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the reorganization, merger or consolidation own less than 51% of the surviving corporation, or (b) the execution of an agreement of sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, each Incentive Share and Performance Award shall, without regard to any vesting schedule, restriction or performance target, automatically and immediately become fully vested or payable, as the case may be, immediately prior to such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer. The Plan shall terminate effective upon such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer.

11. Amendment or Termination. The Board may terminate this Plan at any time, and may amend the Plan at any time or from time to time. If the Plan is terminated, any Incentive Shares and Performance Awards shall continue to be subject to the terms of this Plan in accordance with the terms of the applicable Incentive Share Agreement or Performance Award Agreement, except as provided in Paragraph 10 or as otherwise determined by the Committee or Board at the time of termination.

12. Company Responsibility. All expenses of this Plan, including the cost of maintaining records, shall be borne by the Company. The Company shall have no responsibility or liability (other than under securities laws applicable to the Company) for any act or thing done or left undone with respect to the price, time, quantity, or other conditions and circumstances of the purchase of shares under the terms of the Plan, so long as the Company acts in good faith.

13. Implied Consent of Participants. Every Participant, by acceptance of an award of Incentive Shares or the grant of a Performance Award under this Plan, shall be deemed to have consented to be bound, on the Participant’s own behalf and on behalf of the Participant’s heirs, assigns, and legal representatives, by all of the terms and conditions of this Plan.

14. No Effect on Employment Status. The fact that an employee has been awarded Incentive Shares or granted a Performance Award under this Plan shall not limit or otherwise qualify the right of the person’s employer to terminate his or her employment at any time.

15. Tax Withholding. The Company shall be entitled to deduct from any payment to be made by it under this Plan, or to otherwise require, prior to the issuance or delivery of any shares or the payment of any cash to a Participant, payment by the Participant of all applicable Federal, state, local or other taxes required by law to be withheld. Payment of required withholding taxes may be made by the Participant in the form of shares of Common Stock. If shares of Common Stock are withheld by the Company or tendered by the Participant for this purpose, they shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of withholding or receipt by the Company. “Fair Market Value” shall mean the last sale price of the Common Stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market, or on any stock exchange on which the Common Stock is traded, on the relevant date or, if there are no reported sales on such date, on the next preceding date on which such a sale was transacted. If the Common Stock is not then traded as described in the preceding sentence, the Committee shall select a method of determining Fair Market Value.

16. Compliance with Securities Laws. Shares shall be issued by the Company pursuant to this Plan only in full compliance with all applicable securities laws. The Committee may impose such conditions on transfer, restrictions and limitations as it may deem necessary and appropriate to assure compliance with such laws.

17. Duration and Termination of Plan. The Plan as amended and restated herein shall be effective on June 3, 2003 and, unless sooner terminated, shall expire on June 2, 2013.

It's not that I'm questioning the value of their helps, I am merely stating the fact that their credibility and credit limit went a litle bit sky high(?). Anyway, hopefully that will help them improve even more their standards
