FIRST AMENDMENT, dated as of May 10, 2005 (this "Amendment"),
to the CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of August 2, 2004 (as otherwise amended,
supplemented or modified from time to time, the "Credit Agreement"), among
ALLIED SECURITY HOLDINGS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the
"Borrower"), the lending institutions from time to time parties thereto,
SOVEREIGN BANK, as Syndication Agent, CIT LENDING SERVICES CORPORATION, ING
CAPITAL LLC and PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Co-Documentation Agents, BEAR
STEARNS CORPORATE LENDING INC., as Administrative Agent, and BEAR, STEARNS & CO.
INC. ("Bear Stearns"), as Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Book Running Manager.

     A. The Borrower has requested that the Credit Agreement be amended to,
among other things, provide for new Term Loans C, the proceeds of which will be
used to repay in full all currently outstanding Term Loans. The Borrower has
appointed Bear Stearns to act as Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Book Running
Manager for this Amendment.

     B. Each existing Lender with a Term Loan Commitment or with outstanding
Term Loans (an "Existing Term Loan Lender") that executes and delivers a
signature page to this Amendment specifically in the capacity of a "Continuing
Lender" (a "Continuing Lender") will be deemed upon the First Amendment
Effective Date to have agreed to the terms of this Amendment and to have made a
commitment to make Term Loans C in an aggregate principal amount up to, but not
in excess of, the aggregate principal amount of such Existing Term Loan Lender's
outstanding Term Loans immediately prior to the First Amendment Effective Date
("Existing Term Loans"). Each Existing Term Loan Lender that executes and
delivers this Amendment solely in the capacity as an Existing Term Loan Lender
and not specifically as a Continuing Lender shall be deemed to have agreed to
this Amendment, but will not be deemed by virtue of such execution and delivery
to have undertaken any commitment to make Term Loans C.

that agrees to make Term Loans C (an "Additional Lender") will, on the First
Amendment Effective Date, make such Term Loans C to the Borrower in the manner
contemplated by Section 3. The cash proceeds of any such Term Loans C will be
used solely to repay in full the outstanding principal amount of Existing Term
Loans of Existing Term Loan Lenders (other than any such Existing Term Loans
refinanced pursuant to an exchange thereof for Term Loans C as provided herein)
and to pay fees and expenses in connection with such prepayments and with this
Amendment.

     D. The Required Lenders are willing to effect such amendment (and the other
amendments set forth herein), and the Continuing Lenders and the Additional
Lenders are willing to make Term Loans C as contemplated hereby, in each case on
the terms and subject to the conditions of this Amendment.

     E. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings
assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby.

Amendment, each New Term Lender severally agrees to make a Term Loan C or Term
Loans C on the First Amendment Effective Date to the Borrower in Dollars, which

such Lender as of the First Amendment Effective Date, provided that each

hereto to enter into this Amendment, the Borrower represents and warrants to
each of the Lenders (including the Additional Lenders) and the Administrative
Agent that, as of the First Amendment Effective Date:

          (a) This Amendment has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by
     the Borrower and this Amendment and the Credit Agreement, as amended
     hereby, constitutes the Borrower's legal, valid and binding obligation,
     enforceable against it in accordance with its terms except as such
     enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
     moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and
     by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability
     is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

          (b) The representations and warranties set forth in Section 4
     (Representations and Warranties) of the Credit Agreement are, after giving
     effect to this Amendment, true and correct in all material respects on and
     as of the First Amendment Effective Date, except where such representations
     and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date (in which case they were
     true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date).

          (c) No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

          Section 3. Term Loans C. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions
set forth herein, each Continuing Lender and each Additional Lender agrees to
make Term Loans C to the Borrower on the First Amendment Effective Date in
amounts equal to its New Term Commitment (as defined below). Notwithstanding
anything herein or in the Credit Agreement to the contrary, the aggregate
principal amount of the Term Loans C shall not exceed the aggregate principal
amount of the Existing Term Loans immediately prior to the First Amendment
Effective Date. For purposes hereof, a Person shall become an Additional Lender
and a party to the Credit Agreement by executing and delivering to the
Administrative Agent, on or prior to the First Amendment Effective Date, a
signature page to this Amendment specifically in the capacity of an "Additional
Lender" setting forth the amounts of Term Loans C such Person commits to make on
the First Amendment Effective Date. The "New Term Commitment" for any Term Loans
C of (i) any Continuing Lender shall be the principal amount of its Existing
Term Loans or such lesser amount as is determined by Bear Stearns and notified
to such Lender prior to the First Amendment Effective Date and (ii) any
Additional Lender shall be the amount of such commitment set forth on its
signature page hereto or such lesser amount as is allocated to it by Bear
Stearns and notified to it prior to the First Amendment Effective Date. The
aggregate amount of New Term Commitments shall equal the aggregate principal
amount of the Existing Term Loans.

          (b) Each Continuing Lender and each Additional Lender shall make Term
Loans C on the First Amendment Effective Date by (i) exchanging its Existing
Term Loans, if any, for Term Loans C in an equal principal amount (to the extent
the amounts of such Existing

                                       6


Term Loans, if any, do not exceed the New Term Commitment of such Lender) and
(ii) transferring to the Administrative Agent, in the manner contemplated by the
Credit Agreement (including Section 2.2 (Procedure for New Term Loan Borrowing)
thereof), an amount equal to the excess, if any, of its New Term Commitment over
the principal amount of Existing Term Loans, if any, exchanged by it pursuant to
clause (i) above. The Borrower hereby irrevocably directs the Administrative
Agent pursuant to Section 2.10 (Optional Prepayments) of the Credit Agreement to
apply all proceeds of the Term Loans C received hereunder immediately upon the
receipt thereof to prepay outstanding Existing Term Loans. The commitments of
the Additional Lenders and the exchange undertakings of the Continuing Lenders
are several and no such Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender's
failure to make or acquire by exchange any Term Loans C.

          (c) The obligations of each Continuing Lender and each Additional
Lender to make Term Loans C on the First Amendment Effective Date are subject to
the satisfaction of the following conditions:

          (i) The Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of the
     Borrower dated the First Amendment Effective Date, substantially in the
     form of Exhibit B to this Amendment;

          (ii) The Administrative Agent shall have received the executed legal
     opinion of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, counsel to the
     Borrower and its Subsidiaries, substantially in the form of Exhibit C to
     this Amendment;

          (iii) Each Subsidiary Guarantor that has not executed and delivered
     this Amendment shall have entered into a written instrument substantially
     in the form of Exhibit D to this Amendment pursuant to which it confirms
     that it consents to this Amendment and that the Security Documents to which
     it is party will continue to apply in respect of the Credit Agreement, as
     amended hereby, and the Obligations thereunder;

          (iv) Bear Stearns shall be satisfied that the Borrower has made the
     payments referred to in Section 3(e) of this Amendment or is making such
     payment on the First Amendment Effective Date with the cash proceeds of the
     Term Loans C and such other funds of the Borrower as may be required; and

          (v) The conditions to effectiveness of this Amendment set forth in
     Section 4 shall have been satisfied.

          (d) All Borrowings of Term Loans C made on the First Amendment
Effective Date will have initial Interest Periods ending on the same dates as
the Interest Periods applicable at such time to the Existing Term Loans, and the
Eurodollar Rate applicable to such Term Loans C during such initial Interest
Periods will be the same as that applicable at such time to the Existing Term
Loans being refinanced. The Borrower will not be required to make any payments
to Existing Term Loan Lenders under Section 2.15 (Computation of Interest and
Fees) of the Credit Agreement in respect of the repayment of Existing Term Loans
on the First Amendment Effective Date pursuant to their exchange for Term Loans
C.

                                       7


          (e) On the First Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower shall apply
the cash proceeds of the Term Loans C and such other amounts as may be necessary
to (i) prepay in full all Existing Term Loans (other than those that are
exchanged for Term Loans C as provided herein), (ii) pay all accrued and unpaid
interest and fees, if any, on all Existing Term Loans, (iii) pay to each
Existing Term Loan Lender all amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15
(Computation of Interest and Fees) of the Credit Agreement as a result of the
prepayment of such Lender's Existing Term Loans (other than any portion thereof
that is exchanged for Term Loans C as provided herein) on the First Amendment
Effective Date and (iv) pay all other Obligations then due and owing to the
Existing Term Loan Lenders, in their capacity as such, under the Credit
Agreement.

          (f) The Required Lenders hereby waive the requirements of Section 2.10
(Optional Prepayments) of the Credit Agreement solely to the extent that such
Section requires any notice of prepayment to be given in respect of the Existing
Term Loans to be prepaid on the First Amendment Effective Date. Notwithstanding
that the Existing Term Loans shall be refinanced in full on the First Amendment
Effective Date, the provisions of the Credit Agreement with respect to
indemnification, reimbursement of costs and expenses, increased costs and break
funding payments (other than as set forth in Section 3(d) of this Amendment)
will continue in full force and effect with respect to, and for the benefit of,
each Existing Term Loan Lender in respect of such Lender's Existing Term Loans
existing under the Credit Agreement prior to the First Amendment Effective Date.

          Section 4. Effectiveness of Amendment. The effectiveness of this
Amendment and the occurrence of the First Amendment Effective Date are subject
to receipt by the Administrative Agent (or its counsel) of duly executed
counterparts of this Amendment that, when taken together, bear the signatures of
(a) the Borrower, (b) the Required Lenders and (c) each of the Continuing
Lenders and each of the Additional Lenders.

          Section 5. Effect of Amendment. Except as expressly set forth herein,
this Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a
waiver of or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders or the
Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and
