    (a)  Mr.  Kroll   beneficially   owns  2,879,991  shares  of  Common  Stock,
representing approximately 13.0% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. *

    (c)  See Item 6.

Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect
         to Securities of the Issuer.

         Mr. Kroll has entered into a Voting, Sale and Retention Agreement (the
"Voting, Sale and Retention Agreement"), dated as of November 15, 1999, by and
among BCP/KROG Acquisition Company L.L.C. ("BCP LLC"), Kroll Electronic
Recovery, Inc. ("New Kroll Holdings"), the parties listed on Schedule A attached
thereto (the "Retaining Shareholders") and the parties listed on Schedule B
attached thereto (the "O'Gara Shareholders"). A copy of the Voting, Sale and
Retention Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1, and is hereby incorporated
herein by reference in its entirety.

         Immediately after the execution and delivery of the Voting, Sale and
Retention Agreement, the Company, New Kroll Holdings, KER Acquisition, Inc., an
indirect wholly owned subsidiary of New Kroll Holdings ("Reorganization Merger
Sub"), and BCP/KROG Merger Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of BCP LLC
("Recapitalization Merger Sub") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Mergers
(the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of November 15, 1999.

         The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, for the following
two mergers to occur: (i) a "Reorganization Merger", in which Reorganization
Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the shares of the Company
being converted into a like number of shares of New Kroll Holdings and the
shares of Reorganization Merger Sub being converted into shares of the Company,
such that the Company will become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of New
Kroll Holdings, which itself will become the entity publicly held by the
shareholders who previously held shares in the Company; and (ii) a
"Recapitalization Merger", which will occur immediately following consummation
of the Reorganization Merger, in which Recapitalization Merger Sub will merge
with and into New Kroll Holdings, with the shares of New Kroll Holdings (subject
to certain exceptions described in the Voting, Sale and Retention Agreement)
being converted into the right to receive cash and the shares of
Recapitalization Merger Sub being converted into shares of New Kroll Holdings.
Pursuant to the Voting, Sale and Retention Agreement, Mr. Kroll has agreed to
vote all of his shares of Common Stock in favor of the Mergers.

- ------------------

* Based upon the 22,212,440 shares of Common Stock reported by the Company to be
issued and  outstanding  as of November 1, 1999 in its Quarterly  Report on Form
10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1999.

         (a) Each share of the Common Stock, without par value, of New Kroll
Holdings ("New Kroll Holdings Common Stock") outstanding immediately prior to
the effective time of the Recapitalization Merger ("Recapitalization Effective

"Retained Shares" in accordance with the Voting, Sale and Retention Agreement
shall not be converted and shall not be otherwise affected by the
Recapitalization Merger and shall remain outstanding as one share of New Kroll
Holdings Common Stock following the Recapitalization Effective Time.

         (b) Each issued and outstanding share of New Kroll Holdings Common
Stock that is identified as a "Series A Conversion Share" in the Voting, Sale
and Retention Agreement shall be converted into the right to receive .018 of a
fully paid and nonassessable share of 13% Cumulative Participating Preferred
Stock, Series A, of New Kroll Holdings.

         (c) Each issued and outstanding share of New Kroll Holdings Common
Stock that is identified as a "Series C-D Conversion Share" in the Voting, Sale
and Retention Agreement shall be converted into the right to receive .009 of a
fully paid and nonassessable share of 9% Cumulative Participating Preferred
Stock, Series C (the "Series C Preferred Stock"), of New Kroll Holdings and .009
of a fully paid and nonassessable share of 9% Cumulative Participating Preferred
Stock, Series D (the "Series D Preferred Stock"), of New Kroll Holdings.

         Each issued and outstanding share of New Kroll Holdings Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to the Recapitalization Effective Time (other than
Recapitalization Dissenting Shares, as defined in the Merger Agreement, those
shares identified in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above and such shares held by New
Kroll Holdings or any subsidiary of New Kroll Holdings) shall be converted into
the right to receive $18 in cash (the "Cash Merger Consideration").

         Each share of New Kroll Holdings Common Stock held in the treasury of
New Kroll Holdings and each share of New Kroll Holdings Common Stock owned by
Recapitalization Merger Sub or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
New Kroll Holdings immediately prior to the Recapitalization Effective Time
shall cease to be outstanding and shall be cancelled and retired without payment
of any consideration therefor, and cease to exist. Pursuant to the Voting, Sale
and Retention Agreement and the Merger Agreement, as a result of the Mergers,
Mr. Kroll will (i) receive Cash Merger Consideration for 546,657 shares of New
Kroll Holdings Common Stock, (ii) retain 666,667.33 shares of the New Kroll
Holdings Common Stock, and (iii) will convert 1,666,666.67 shares of New Kroll
Holdings Common Stock into 15,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and 15,000
shares of Series D Preferred Stock.

"Shareholders").

                                   BACKGROUND

indirect wholly owned subsidiary of New Kroll Holdings ("Reorganization Merger

Merger Agreement (the "Merger Agreement"). (Capitalized terms used but not
defined herein will have the meanings assigned to them in the Merger Agreement.)
The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, for the following two mergers
to occur:

o    A "Reorganization Merger", in which Reorganization Merger Sub will merge
     with and into the Company, with the shares of the Company being converted
     into a like number of shares of New Kroll Holdings and the shares of
     Reorganization Merger Sub being converted into shares of the Company, such
     that the Company will become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of New
     Kroll Holdings, which itself will become the entity publicly held by the
     shareholders who previously held shares in the Company; and

o    A "Recapitalization Merger", which will occur immediately following
     consummation of the Reorganization Merger and in which Recapitalization
     Merger Sub will merge with and into New Kroll Holdings, with the shares of
     New Kroll Holdings (subject to certain exceptions described in this
     Agreement) being converted into the right to receive cash and the shares of

Stock acquired of record or beneficially by such Shareholders in any capacity
after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time of the Recapitalization
Merger, whether upon exercise of options, conversion of convertible securities,
purchase, exchange or otherwise, will be referred to herein as "Owned Shares".
(It is understood that, following consummation of the Reorganization Merger,
references to "Company Common Stock" will mean the shares of common stock, par
value $.01 per share, of New Kroll Holdings.)

         Articles of Incorporation or Code of Regulations or other proposal or
         transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, which
         amendment or other proposal or transaction would in any manner impede,
         prevent or nullify the Mergers, the Merger Agreement or any of the

will provide voting instructions consistent with the requirements of Section 3.1
hereof) any proxy or power of attorney with respect to any of its Owned Shares,
deposit any of its Owned Shares into a voting trust or enter into any agreement
(other than this Agreement), arrangement or understanding with any person,
directly or indirectly, to vote, grant any proxy or give instructions with
respect to the voting of any of its Owned Shares. Each Shareholder further
agrees not to commit or agree to take any action inconsistent with any of the
matters covered in this Article 3.

                  3.3 No Solicitation. Each O'Gara Shareholder hereby agrees
during the term of this Agreement that it will not, directly or indirectly, nor
shall it authorize, instruct or, if asked or notified, permit (to the extent
feasible) any of its trustees, advisors, agents, representatives or other
intermediaries to, (i) solicit, initiate, encourage or take any action to
facilitate any submission of inquiries, proposals or offers from any person
relating to (A) any acquisition or purchase of any or all of its Owned Shares or
(B) any Acquisition Proposal, or agree to or endorse any Acquisition Proposal,
other than the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, or (ii) enter
into or participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any of the
foregoing or furnish to any other person any information with respect to the
Company's business, properties or assets or any of the foregoing, or otherwise
cooperate in any way with, or assist or participate in, facilitate or encourage,
any effort or attempt by any other person to do or seek any of the foregoing
(other than solely in his capacity as an officer or director of the Company in
the event that the Board of Directors of the Company has concluded in accordance
with Section 5.05 of the Merger Agreement failing to take these or similar
actions on the part of the Company would be reasonably likely to cause the Board
of Directors to be in breach of its fiduciary duties to the shareholders of the
Company under the OGCL). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, from and after the date hereof, each O'Gara Shareholder shall promptly
advise BCP LLC orally and in writing of the receipt by any of them (or any of
the other entities or persons referred to above) of any Acquisition Proposal (it
being understood that to the extent solely received in their respective
capacities as officers or directors of the Company, their obligation to so
advise BCP LLC shall be governed by the Merger Agreement) or any inquiry which
is likely to lead to any Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions
of such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry and the identity of the person making
any such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry. Each O'Gara Shareholder will keep BCP
LLC fully informed of the status and details of any such Acquisition Proposal or
inquiry (it being understood that to the extent such Acquisition Proposal was
received solely in their respective capacities as officers or directors of the
Company, their obligation to so advise BCP LLC shall be governed by the Merger
Agreement).

                  3.4 Termination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, at the option of BCP LLC, exercisable at any time, this Article 3 will

shares of Company Common Stock as they see fit and take any other any action
otherwise prohibited by this Article 3.

duly endorsed and in form for transfer to BCP LLC, and BCP will pay for the
Cash-Out Shares being purchased by wire transfer of immediately available funds
to accounts designated by the respective Retaining Shareholders no later than
two business days prior to such closing date.

                  4.3  Conditions to Closing.

                  (a) Conditions to Obligations of BCP LLC to Purchase. BCP

concurrent sale to and purchase by BCP LLC of all the Cash-Out Shares held by
all the Retaining Shareholders.

                  (b) Conditions to Obligations of Retaining Shareholders to

          ARTICLE 5: TREATMENT OF SHARES IN THE RECAPITALIZATION MERGER

                  5.1 Waiver of Right to Receive Cash and Agreement to Retain
       Shares. With respect to certain of the Retaining Shareholders, Schedule A
identifies a specified number of their shares as "Retained Common Shares"
("Retained Shares"), which shares shall include the restricted stock granted to
such shareholders by the Company subject to certain terms and conditions which
continue to apply. Such Retaining Shareholders irrevocably waive their right to
receive cash in respect of such Retained Shares and acknowledge and agree that
their Retained Shares will not be converted into cash in the Recapitalization
Merger but instead will remain outstanding and unchanged following consummation
of such Recapitalization Merger. BCP LLC irrevocably waives its right to receive
cash in respect of any shares of Company Common Stock held by it at the
effective time of the Recapitalization Merger and acknowledges and agrees that
such shares will not be converted into cash in the Recapitalization Merger but
instead will remain outstanding and unchanged following consummation of the
Recapitalization Merger.

                  5.2 Waiver of Right to Receive Cash and Agreement to Receive
Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock. With respect to Jules
Kroll, Schedule A identifies 1,666,666.67 of his shares of Company Common Stock
as "Shares to be Converted into Series C and D Preferred Stock" ("Series C/D
Conversion Shares"). Jules Kroll irrevocably waives his right to receive cash in
respect of such Series C/D Conversion Shares and acknowledges and agrees that
his respective Series C/D Conversion Shares will not be converted into cash in
the Recapitalization Merger but instead will be converted into 15,000 newly
issued shares of New Kroll Holdings' Series C Preferred Stock and 15,000 newly
issued shares of New Kroll Holdings' Series D Preferred Stock in accordance with
the terms of the Merger Agreement.

                  5.3 Waiver of Right to Receive Cash and Agreement to Receive
Series A Preferred Stock. With respect to American International Group, Inc.
("AIG"), Schedule A identifies 1,111,111.12 of its shares of Company Common
Stock as "Shares to be Converted into Series A Preferred Stock" ("Series A
Conversion Shares"). AIG irrevocably waives its right to receive cash in respect
of such Series A Conversion Shares and acknowledges and agrees that such Series
A Conversion Shares will not be converted into cash in the Recapitalization
Merger but instead will be converted into 20,000 newly issued shares of New
Kroll Holdings' Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of the
Merger Agreement.

                  5.4 Appraisal Rights. Each Shareholder hereby irrevocably
waives any rights of appraisal with respect to the Mergers or rights to dissent
from the Mergers that such Shareholder may otherwise have, with respect to the
Reorganization Merger, under the OGCL or, with respect to the Recapitalization
Merger, under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

                              ARTICLE 6: COVENANTS

                  6.1 Stockholders' and Conversion Agreements. (a) Each
Retaining Shareholder agrees that it will negotiate in good faith with BCP LLC
with respect to the terms of a stockholders' agreement to be entered into on
terms mutually satisfactory to such Retaining Shareholder and BCP LLC, including
terms as to customary registration rights.

                  (b) By the closings, BCP LLC and Jules Kroll will enter into a
Conversion Agreement reflecting the terms in the term sheet dated the date
hereof concerning such conversion.

                  6.2 Further Assurances. Each of the parties hereto agrees that
it will, from time to time, execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and
delivered, such additional or further consents, documents and other instruments
as any of the other parties to this Agreement may reasonably request for the
purpose of effectively carrying out the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.


                             ARTICLE 7: MISCELLANEOUS

                  7.1 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights,
interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned by any of the parties hereto
without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto. Subject to the
preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of
and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and
permitted assigns.

                  7.2 Termination. This Agreement will terminate, and no party
hereto shall have any rights or obligations hereunder, upon the first to occur
of (a) the Effective Time of the Recapitalization Merger and (b) the termination
of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms. Furthermore, this
Agreement will terminate as to the O'Gara Shareholders if the Merger Agreement
is amended without their consent to reduce the Cash Merger Consideration.

                  7.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, including any written
or oral agreement or understanding, among or between the parties with respect to
the subject matter hereof.

                  7.4 Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended except by an
instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto whose rights or
obligations are affected by such amendment. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended to add to or subtract from the list
of Retaining Shareholders and/or to modify the treatment of Retaining
Shareholders' holdings as set forth on Schedule A, and such amendment need only
be executed by BCP LLC and those Retaining Shareholders who are being added to
or subtracted from the list of Retaining Shareholders or the treatment of whose
holdings is being modified as set forth on Schedule A.

                  7.13 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision or

of any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any
jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect
any other provision or portion of any provision in such jurisdiction, and this
Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if
such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion of any provision had

                  7.14 Definitions; Construction. For purposes of this
Agreement:

                           (a) "Beneficially Own" or "Beneficial Ownership" with
         respect to any securities shall mean having "beneficial ownership" of
         such securities (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the
         Exchange Act), including pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or
         understanding, whether or not in writing. Without duplicative counting
         of the same securities by the same holder, securities Beneficially
         Owned by a Person shall include securities Beneficially Owned by all
         other Persons with whom such Person would constitute a "group" as
         described in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act.

                           (b) "Person" shall mean an individual, corporation,
         partnership, joint venture, association, trust, unincorporated
         organization or other entity.

                           (c) In the event of a stock dividend or distribution,
         or any change in the Company Common Stock by reason of any stock
         dividend, split-up, recapitalization, combination, exchange of shares
         or the like, the term "Shares" shall be deemed to refer to and include
         the Shares as well as all such stock dividends and distributions and
         any shares into which or for which any or all of the Shares may be
         changed or exchanged.

                  7.15 Shareholder Capacity. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, no person executing this Agreement who is, or becomes during the
term hereof, a director of the Company makes any agreement or understanding
herein in his capacity as such a director, and the agreements set forth herein
shall in no way restrict any director in the exercise of his fiduciary duties as
a director of the Company. Each Shareholder has executed this Agreement solely
in his capacity as the record or beneficial holder of such Shareholder's Owned
Shares or as the trustee of a trust whose beneficiaries are the beneficial
owners of such Shareholder's Owned Shares.

                  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of BCP LLC, the Company, New Kroll
