                            DATED AS OF JULY 14, 2004

                                     BETWEEN

                                       AND

                            BEAR, STEARNS & CO. INC.

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

         This Registration Rights Agreement (this "AGREEMENT") is made and
entered into as of July 14, 2004, between Allied Security Escrow Corp., a
Delaware corporation ("ESCROW CORP."), and Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. (the
"INITIAL PURCHASER"), who has agreed to purchase the Company's 11.375% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2011 (including the related guarantees, if any, the
"INITIAL NOTES"), pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (as defined below).

         This Agreement is made pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, dated July
1, 2004 (the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT"), among the Company, SpectaGuard Acquisition
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and the Initial Purchaser. In order
to induce the Initial Purchaser to purchase the Initial Notes, the Company has
agreed to provide the registration rights set forth in this Agreement. The
execution and delivery of this Agreement is a condition to the obligations of
the Initial Purchaser set forth in Section 8 of the Purchase Agreement. The
Initial Notes will be issued by Escrow Corp. In connection with the proposed
acquisition of Barton Protective Services Incorporated, Escrow Corp. will merge
with and into Allied Security Holdings LLC ("HOLDINGS"), pursuant to an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "ESCROW MERGER"), and the obligations of
Escrow Corp. will be assumed by Holdings and Allied Security Finance Corp.
("FINANCE CORP."). As used herein, the term "COMPANY" refers only to Escrow
Corp. prior to consummation of the Escrow Merger, and following consummation of
the Escrow Merger, only to Holdings and Finance Corp. Capitalized terms used
herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning assigned to them in the

issued Exchange Notes).

SECTION 2.  HOLDERS

         A Person is deemed to be a holder of Transfer Restricted Securities
(each, a "HOLDER") whenever such Person owns Transfer Restricted Securities.

SECTION 3.  REGISTERED EXCHANGE OFFER

         (a) Unless the Exchange Offer shall not be permitted by applicable
federal law or Commission policy (after the procedures set forth in Section
6(a)(i) below have been complied with), the Company shall (i) cause the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement to be filed with the Commission as soon as
practicable after the Closing Date, but in no event later than 270 days after
the Closing Date (such 270th day being the "EXCHANGE OFFER FILING DEADLINE"),
(ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Exchange Offer
Registration Statement to become effective at the earliest possible time, but in
no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date (such 360th day being the
"EXCHANGE OFFER EFFECTIVENESS TARGET DATE"), (iii) in connection with the
foregoing, (A) file all pre-effective amendments to such Exchange Offer
Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to cause it to become
effective, (B) file, if applicable, a post-effective amendment to such Exchange
Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430A under the Act and (C) cause
all necessary filings, if any, in connection with the registration and
qualification of the Exchange Notes to be made under the Blue Sky laws of such
jurisdictions as are necessary to permit Consummation of the Exchange Offer, and
(iv) upon the effectiveness of such Exchange Offer Registration Statement, use
its commercially reasonable efforts to commence and Consummate the Exchange
Offer. The Exchange Offer shall be on the appropriate form permitting (i)
registration of the Exchange Notes to be offered in exchange for the Initial
Notes that are Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) resales of Exchange Notes
by Broker-Dealers that tendered into the Exchange Offer Initial Notes that such
Broker-Dealer acquired for its own account as a result of market-making
activities or other trading activities (other than Initial Notes acquired
directly from the Company or any of its Affiliates) as contemplated by Section
3(c) below.

                                       3

         (b) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause
the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be effective continuously, and
shall keep the Exchange Offer open for a period of not less than the minimum
period required under applicable federal and state securities laws to Consummate
the Exchange Offer; provided, however, that in no event shall such period be
less than 20 Business Days. The Company shall cause the Exchange Offer to comply
with all applicable federal and state securities laws. No securities other than
the Exchange Notes and the guarantees thereof shall be included in the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cause the Exchange Offer to be Consummated on or prior to 20 Business
Days after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has become effective, but
in no event later than 45 Business Days thereafter, or longer, if required by
the federal securities laws (such 45th (or longer) Business Day being the
"CONSUMMATION DEADLINE").

         (c) The Company shall include a "Plan of Distribution" section in the
Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and indicate
therein that any Broker-Dealer who holds Transfer Restricted Securities that
were acquired for the account of such Broker-Dealer as a result of market-making
activities or other trading activities (other than Initial Notes acquired
directly from the Company or any Affiliate of the Company), may exchange such
Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer; however, because
such Broker-Dealer may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of
the Act and must, therefore, deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of
the Act in connection with its initial sale of any Exchange Notes received by
such Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer, the Prospectus contained in the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement may be used to satisfy such prospectus
delivery requirement. Such "Plan of Distribution" section shall also contain all
other information with respect to such sales by such Broker-Dealers that the
Commission may require in order to permit such sales pursuant thereto, but such
"Plan of Distribution" shall not name any such Broker-Dealer or disclose the
amount of Transfer Restricted Securities held by any such Broker-Dealer, except
to the extent required by the Commission as a result of a change in policy,
rules or regulations after the date of this Agreement. See the Shearman &
Sterling no-action letter (available July 2, 1993).

         To the extent necessary to ensure that the Prospectus contained in the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement is available for sales of Exchange Notes
by Broker-Dealers, the Company agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts
to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement continuously effective,
supplemented, amended and current as required by and subject to the provisions
of Sections 6(a) and (c) hereof and in conformity with the requirements of this
Agreement, the Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as
announced from time to time, for a period of one year from the Consummation
Deadline or such shorter period as will terminate when all Transfer Restricted
Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold pursuant
thereto. The Company shall provide sufficient copies of the latest version of
such Prospectus to such Broker-Dealers, promptly upon request, and in no event
later than one day after such request, at any time during such period.

SECTION 4.  SHELF REGISTRATION

         (a) Shelf Registration. If (i) the Exchange Offer is not permitted by
applicable law or Commission policy (after the Company has complied with the
procedures set forth in Section 6(a)(i) below) or (ii) any Holder of Transfer
Restricted Securities shall notify the Company in writing within 20 Business
Days following Consummation of the Exchange Offer that (A) such Holder was
prohibited by law or Commission policy from participating in the Exchange Offer,
(B) such Holder may not resell the Exchange Notes acquired by it in the Exchange
Offer to the public without delivering a prospectus and the Prospectus contained
in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not appropriate or available for
such resales by such Holder or (C) such Holder is a Broker-Dealer and holds
Initial Notes acquired directly from the Company or any of its Affiliates, then
the Company shall:

                                       4

         (i) (x) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be filed,
on or prior to 30 days after the earlier of (i) the date as of which the Company
determines that the Exchange Offer Registration Statement will not be or cannot
be, as the case may be, filed as a result of clause (a)(i) above and (ii) the
date on which the Company receives the notice specified in clause (a)(ii) above;
provided, that, such Filing Deadline shall not be earlier than 270 days after
the date of the Indenture, (such earlier date, the "SHELF REGISTRATION FILING
DEADLINE"), a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act
(which may be an amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (the
"SHELF REGISTRATION STATEMENT")), relating to all Transfer Restricted Securities
of Holders which shall have provided the information required pursuant to
Section 4(b) hereof, and (y) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause
such Shelf Registration Statement to become effective on or prior to 90 days
after the Shelf Registration Filing Deadline (such 90th day, the "SHELF
REGISTRATION STATEMENT EFFECTIVENESS TARGET DATE").

         If, after the Company has filed an Exchange Offer Registration
Statement that satisfies the requirements of Section 3(a) above, the Company is
required to file and make effective a Shelf Registration Statement solely
because the Exchange Offer is not permitted under applicable federal law or
Commission policy (i.e., clause (a)(i) above), then the filing of the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of
clause (a) above; provided that, in such event, the Company shall remain
obligated to meet the Shelf Registration Statement Effectiveness Target Date.

         The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep any
Shelf Registration Statement required by this Section 4(a) continuously
effective, supplemented and amended as required by and subject to the provisions
of Sections 6(b) and (c) hereof and, to the extent necessary to ensure that the
Shelf Registration Statement is available for sales of Transfer Restricted
Securities by the Holders thereof entitled to the benefit of this Section 4(a)
and to ensure that it conforms to the requirements of this Agreement, the Act
and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from time
to time, for a period of at least two years (as extended pursuant to Section
6(d) hereof following the Closing Date, or such shorter period as will terminate
when all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Shelf Registration
Statement have been sold pursuant thereto.

         (b) Provision by Holders of Certain Information in Connection with the
Shelf Registration Statement. No Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities may
include any of its Transfer Restricted Securities in any Shelf Registration
Statement pursuant to this Agreement unless and until such Holder furnishes to
the Company in writing, within 20 days after receipt of a request therefor, the
information specified in Item 507 or Item 508 of Regulation S-K, as applicable,
of the Act for use in connection with any Shelf Registration Statement or
Prospectus or preliminary prospectus included therein. No Holder of Transfer
Restricted Securities shall be entitled to liquidated damages pursuant to
Section 5 hereof ("LIQUIDATED DAMAGES") in connection with a Shelf Registration
Statement, and Liquidated Damages shall not accrue for the benefit of any such
Holder and such Holder will not be entitled to the rights provided in Section
6(c) hereof, to the extent that such rights relate to a Shelf Registration
Statement, unless and until such Holder shall have provided all such
information. Each selling Holder agrees to promptly furnish to the Company
additional information required to be disclosed in order to make the information
previously furnished to the Company by such Holder not materially misleading.

SECTION 5.  LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

         If (i) any Registration Statement required by this Agreement is not
filed with the Commission on or prior to the applicable Filing Deadline, (ii)
any such Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the
Commission on or prior to the Exchange Offer Effectiveness Target Date or the
Shelf Registration Statement Effectiveness Target Date, as applicable, (iii) the
Exchange Offer has not been Consummated on or prior to the Consummation Deadline
or (iv) any Registration Statement required by

                                       5

this Agreement is filed and declared effective but thereafter ceases to be
effective or fails to be usable for its intended purpose without being succeeded
immediately by a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement that
cures such failure and that is itself declared effective immediately (each such
event referred to in clauses (i) through (iv), a "REGISTRATION DEFAULT"), then,
subject to Section 4(b) hereof, the Company agrees to pay to each Holder of
Transfer Restricted Securities affected thereby Liquidated Damages in an amount
equal to $0.05 per week per $1,000 in principal amount of Transfer Restricted
Securities held by such Holder for each week or portion thereof that the
Registration Default continues for the first 90-day period immediately following
the occurrence of such Registration Default. The amount of the Liquidated
Damages shall increase by an additional $0.05 per week per $1,000 in principal
amount of Transfer Restricted Securities with respect to each subsequent 90-day
period until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum amount
of Liquidated Damages of $0.50 per week per $1,000 in principal amount of
Transfer Restricted Securities; provided, that the Company shall not be required
to pay Liquidated Damages for more than one Registration Default at any given
time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (1) upon filing
of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (and/or, if applicable, the Shelf
Registration Statement), in the case of (i) above, (2) upon the effectiveness of
the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (and/or, if applicable, the Shelf
Registration Statement), in the case of (ii) above, (3) upon Consummation of the
Exchange Offer, in the case of (iii) above, or (4) upon the filing of a
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or an additional
Registration Statement that causes the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
(and/or, if applicable, the Shelf Registration Statement) to again be declared
effective or made usable in the case of (iv) above, the Liquidated Damages
payable with respect to the Transfer Restricted Securities as a result of such
clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), as applicable, shall cease.

         All accrued Liquidated Damages shall be paid to the Holders entitled
thereto, in the manner provided for the payment of interest in the Indenture, on
each Interest Payment Date, as more fully set forth in the Indenture and the
Notes. Notwithstanding the fact that any securities for which Liquidated Damages
are due cease to be Transfer Restricted Securities, all obligations of the
Company to pay Liquidated Damages with respect to securities shall survive until
such time as such obligations with respect to such securities shall have been
satisfied in full.

SECTION 6.  REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

         (a) Exchange Offer Registration Statement. In connection with the
Exchange Offer, the Company shall (x) comply with all applicable provisions of
Section 6(c) below, (y) use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect such
exchange and to permit the resale of Exchange Notes by Broker-Dealers that
tendered in the Exchange Offer Initial Notes that such Broker-Dealer acquired
for its own account as a result of its market-making activities or other trading
activities (other than Initial Notes acquired directly from the Company or any
of its Affiliates) being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods
of distribution thereof, and (z) comply with all of the following provisions:

                (i)   If, following the date hereof there has been announced a
         change in Commission policy with respect to exchange offers such as
         the Exchange Offer, that in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the
         Company raises a substantial question as to whether the Exchange Offer
         is permitted by applicable federal law, the Company hereby agrees to
         use its commercially reasonable efforts to seek a no-action letter or
         other favorable decision from the Commission allowing the Company to
         Consummate an Exchange Offer for such Transfer Restricted Securities.
         The Company agrees to pursue the issuance of such a decision to the
         Commission staff level. In connection with the foregoing, the Company
         hereby agrees to take all such other actions as may be requested by
         the Commission or otherwise required in connection with the issuance
         of such decision, including without limitation (A) participating in
         telephonic conferences with the Commission, (B) delivering to the
         Commission staff an analysis prepared by counsel to

                                       6

         the Company setting forth the legal bases, if any, upon which such
         counsel has concluded that such an Exchange Offer should be permitted
         and (C) diligently pursuing a resolution (which need not be favorable)
         by the Commission staff;

                (ii)  As a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer,
         each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities (including, without
         limitation, any Holder who is a Broker-Dealer) shall furnish, upon the
         request of the Company, prior to the Consummation of the Exchange
         Offer, a written representation to the Company (which may be contained
         in the letter of transmittal contemplated by the Exchange Offer
         Registration Statement) to the effect that (A) it is not an Affiliate
         of the Company, (B) it is not engaged in, and does not intend to
         engage in, and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to
         participate in, a distribution of the Exchange Notes to be issued in
         the Exchange Offer and (C) it is acquiring the Exchange Notes in its
         ordinary course of business. As a condition to its participation in
         the Exchange Offer each Holder using the Exchange Offer to participate
         in a distribution of the Exchange Notes shall acknowledge and agree
         that, if the resales are of Exchange Notes obtained by such Holder in
         exchange for Initial Notes acquired directly from the Company or an
         Affiliate thereof, it (1) could not, under Commission policy as in
         effect on the date of this Agreement, rely on the position of the
         Commission enunciated in Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc. (available June
         5, 1991) and Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13,
         1988), as interpreted in the Commission's letter to Shearman &
         Sterling dated July 2, 1993, and similar no-action letters (including,
         if applicable, any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i)
         above), and (2) must comply with the registration and prospectus
         delivery requirements of the Act in connection with a secondary resale
         transaction and that such a secondary resale transaction must be
         covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling
         security holder information required by Item 507 or 508, as
         applicable, of Regulation S-K; and

                (iii) Prior to effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration
         Statement, the Company shall provide a supplemental letter to the
         Commission (A) stating that the Company is registering the Exchange
         Offer in reliance on the position of the Commission enunciated in
         Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), Morgan
         Stanley and Co., Inc. (available June 5, 1991) as interpreted in the
         Commission's letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993, and, if
         applicable, any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i)
         above, (B) including a representation that the Company has not entered
         into any arrangement or understanding with any Person to distribute
         the Exchange Notes to be received in the Exchange Offer and that, to
         the best of the Company's information and belief, each Holder
         participating in the Exchange Offer is acquiring the Exchange Notes in
         its ordinary course of business and has no arrangement or
         understanding with any Person to participate in the distribution of
         the Exchange Notes received in the Exchange Offer and (C) any other
         undertaking or representation required by the Commission as set forth
         in any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above, if
         applicable.

         (b) Shelf Registration Statement. In connection with the Shelf
Registration Statement, the Company shall comply with all the provisions of
Section 6(c) below and use all commercially reasonable efforts to effect such
registration to permit the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities being sold
in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof (as
indicated in the information furnished to the Company pursuant to Section 4(b)
hereof), and pursuant thereto the Company will prepare and file with the
Commission a Registration Statement relating to the registration on any
appropriate form under the Act, which form shall be available for the sale of
the Transfer Restricted Securities in accordance with the intended method or
methods of distribution thereof within the time periods and otherwise in
accordance with the provisions hereof.

                                       7

         (c) General Provisions. In connection with any Registration Statement
and any related Prospectus required by this Agreement, the Company shall:

                (i)   use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such
         Registration Statement continuously effective and provide all
         requisite financial statements for the periods specified in Section 3
         or Section 4 hereof, as applicable. Upon the occurrence of any event
         that would cause any such Registration Statement or the Prospectus
         contained therein (A) to contain an untrue statement of material fact
         or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
         necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
         circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (B) not to
         be effective and usable for resale of Transfer Restricted Securities
         during the period required by this Agreement, the Company shall file
         promptly an appropriate amendment to such Registration Statement
         curing such defect, and, if Commission review is required, use its
         commercially reasonable efforts to cause such amendment to be declared
         effective as soon as practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
         the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith that it
         is in the best interests of the Company not to disclose the existence
         of or facts surrounding any proposed or pending material corporate
         transaction or other material development involving the Company or the
         guarantors, the Company may allow the Shelf Registration Statement to
         fail to be effective or the Prospectus contained therein to be
         unusable as a result of such nondisclosure for up to sixty (60) days
         in any year during the two-year period of effectiveness required by
         Section 4 hereof;

                (ii)  prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
         post-effective amendments to the applicable Registration Statement as
         may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the
         applicable periods set forth in Section 3 or Section 4 hereof, as the
         case may be; cause the Prospectus to be supplemented by any required
         Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to
         Rule 424 under the Act, and to comply fully with Rules 424, 430A and
         462, as applicable, under the Act in a timely manner; and comply with
         the provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all
         securities covered by such Registration Statement during the
         applicable period in accordance with the intended method or methods of
         distribution by the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration
         Statement or supplement to the Prospectus;

                (iii) with respect to a Shelf Registration Statement, advise
         each Holder promptly and, if requested by such Holder, confirm such
         advice in writing, (A) when the Prospectus or any prospectus
         supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with
         respect to any applicable Registration Statement or any post-effective
         amendment thereto, when the same has become effective, (B) of any
         request by the Commission for amendments to the Registration Statement
         or amendments or supplements to the Prospectus or for additional
         information relating thereto, (C) of the issuance by the Commission of
         any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
         Statement under the Act or of the suspension by any state securities
         commission of the qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities
         for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any
         proceeding for any of the preceding purposes, and (D) of the existence
         of any fact or the happening of any event that makes any statement of
         a material fact made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus,
         any amendment or supplement thereto or any document incorporated by
         reference therein untrue, or that requires the making of any additions
         to or changes in the Registration Statement in order to make the
         statements therein not misleading, or that requires the making of any
         additions to or changes in the Prospectus in order to make the
         statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
         were made, not misleading. If at any time the Commission shall issue
         any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
         Statement, or any state securities commission or other regulatory
         authority shall issue an order suspending the qualification or
         exemption from qualification of the Transfer

                                       8

         Restricted Securities under state securities or Blue Sky laws, the
         Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the
         withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest possible time;

                (iv)   subject to Section 6(c)(i), if any fact or event
         contemplated by Section 6(c)(iii)(D) above shall exist or have
         occurred, prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the
         Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document
         incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document
         so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of Transfer
         Restricted Securities, the Prospectus will not contain an untrue
         statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
         necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
         circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

                (v)    with respect to a Shelf Registration Statement, furnish
         to each Holder in connection with such sale, if any, before filing
         with the Commission, copies of any Registration Statement or any
         Prospectus included therein or any amendments or supplements to any
         such Registration Statement or Prospectus (including all documents
         incorporated by reference after the initial filing of such
         Registration Statement), which documents will be subject to the review
         and comment of such Holders in connection with such sale, if any, for
         a period of at least five Business Days, and the Company will not file
         any such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or
         supplement to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (including
         all such documents incorporated by reference) to which such Holders
         shall reasonably object within five Business Days after the receipt
         thereof. A Holder shall be deemed to have reasonably objected to such
         filing if such Registration Statement, amendment, Prospectus or
         supplement, as applicable, as proposed to be filed, contains an untrue
         statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
         necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or fails to
         comply with the applicable requirements of the Act;

                (vi)   with respect to a Shelf Registration Statement, promptly
         prior to the filing of any document that is to be incorporated by
         reference into a Registration Statement or Prospectus in connection
         with such sale, if any, provide copies of such document to each
         Holder, make the Company's representatives available for discussion of
         such document and other customary due diligence matters, and include
         such information in such document prior to the filing thereof as such
         Holders may reasonably request;

                (vii) with respect to a Shelf Registration Statement, make
         available, at reasonable times, for inspection by each Holder and any
         attorney or accountant retained by such Holders, all financial and
         other records, pertinent corporate documents of the Company and cause
         the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all
         information reasonably requested by any such Holder, attorney or
         accountant in connection with such Registration Statement or any
         post-effective amendment thereto subsequent to the filing thereof and
         prior to its effectiveness;

                (viii) with respect to a Shelf Registration Statement, if
         requested by any Holder in connection with such sale, if any, promptly
         include in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, pursuant to a
         supplement or post-effective amendment if necessary, such information
         as such Holder may reasonably request to have included therein,
         including, without limitation, information relating to the "Plan of
         Distribution" of the Transfer Restricted Securities; and make all
         required filings of such Prospectus supplement or post-effective
         amendment as soon as practicable after the Company is notified of the
         matters to be included in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective
         amendment;

                                       9

                (ix)   with respect to a Shelf Registration Statement, furnish
         to each Holder in connection with such sale, if any, without charge,
         at least one copy of the Registration Statement, as first filed with
         the Commission, and of each amendment thereto, including all documents
         incorporated by reference therein and all exhibits (including exhibits
         incorporated therein by reference);

                (x)    with respect to a Shelf Registration Statement, deliver
         to each Holder without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus
         (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendment or
         supplement thereto as such Persons reasonably may request; the Company
         hereby consents to the use (in accordance with law) of the Prospectus
         and any amendment or supplement thereto by each selling Holder in
         connection with the offering and the sale of the Transfer Restricted
         Securities covered by the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
         thereto; and

                (xi)   deliver to the Initial Purchaser, any Broker-Dealer and
         such other persons required to deliver a prospectus following the
         Exchange Offer, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus
         included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, and any
         amendment or supplement thereto as such persons may reasonably
         request; the Company hereby consents to the use (in accordance with
         law) of the Prospectus included in the Exchange Offer Registration
         Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto by the Initial
         Purchaser, any Broker-Dealer and such other persons required to
         deliver a prospectus following the Exchange Offer in connection with
         the offering and sale of the Exchange Notes covered by the Prospectus,
         or any amendment or supplement thereto, included in such Exchange
         Offer Registration Statement.

                (xii)  with respect to a Shelf Registration Statement, upon the
         request of Holders aggregating at least 20% in aggregate principal
         amount of Transfer Restricted Securities, enter into such agreements
         (including underwriting agreements containing customary terms) and
         make such customary representations and warranties and take all such
         other customary actions in connection therewith in order to expedite
         or facilitate the disposition of the Transfer Restricted Securities
         pursuant to any applicable Registration Statement contemplated by this
         Agreement as may be reasonably requested by any Holder in connection
         with any sale or resale pursuant to any applicable Registration
         Statement. In such connection, the Company shall:

                       (A)   upon request of any Holder, furnish (or in the case
                of paragraphs (2) and (3), use its commercially reasonable
                efforts to cause to be furnished) to each Holder, upon the
                effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement:

                                (1)   a certificate, dated such date, signed on
                             behalf of the Company by (x) the President or any
                             Vice President and (y) a principal financial or
                             accounting officer of the Company, in customary
                             form, confirming, as of the date thereof, such
                             matters as such Holder may reasonably request;

                                (2)   an opinion of counsel for the Company in
                             customary form, dated the date of effectiveness of
                             the Shelf Registration Statement, and covering such
                             other matters as such Holder may reasonably
                             request, and in any event including a statement to
                             the effect that such counsel has participated in
                             conferences with officers and other representatives
                             of the Company, representatives of the independent
                             public accountants for the Company and have
                             considered the matters required to be stated
                             therein and the statements contained therein,
                             although such counsel has not independently
                             verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of
                             such statements; and that such counsel advises
                             that, on the basis of the foregoing (relying as to
                             materiality to the extent such counsel deems
                             appropriate upon the

                                       10

                             statements of officers and other representatives of
                             the Company) and without independent check or
                             verification), no facts came to such counsel's
                             attention that caused such counsel to believe that
                             the applicable Registration Statement, at the time
                             such Registration Statement or any post-effective
                             amendment thereto became effective, contained an
                             untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to
                             state a material fact required to be stated therein
                             or necessary to make the statements therein not
                             misleading, or that the Prospectus contained in
                             such Registration Statement as of its date
                             contained an untrue statement of a material fact or
                             omitted to state a material fact necessary in order
                             to make the statements therein, in the light of the
                             circumstances under which they were made, not
                             misleading. Without limiting the foregoing, such
                             counsel may state further that such counsel assumes
                             no responsibility for, and has not independently
                             verified, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of
                             the financial statements, notes and schedules and
                             other financial data included in any Registration
                             Statement contemplated by this Agreement or the
                             related Prospectus; and

                                (3)   a customary comfort letter, dated as of
                             the date of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration
                             Statement from the Company's independent
                             accountants, in customary form, and covering
                             matters of the type customarily covered in comfort
                             letters to underwriters in connection with
                             underwritten offerings, and affirming the matters
                             set forth in the comfort letters delivered pursuant
                             to Section 8(h) of the Purchase Agreement;

                       (B)   set forth in full or incorporate by reference in
                the underwriting agreement, if any, the indemnification
                provisions and procedures of Section 8 hereof with respect
                to all parties to be indemnified pursuant to said Section;
                and

                       (C)   deliver such other documents and certificates as
                may be reasonably requested by the selling Holders to
                evidence compliance with clause (A) above and with any
                customary conditions contained in any agreement entered into
                by the Company pursuant to this clause (xii);

                (xiii) prior to any public offering of Transfer Restricted
         Securities, cooperate with the selling Holders and their counsel in
         connection with the registration and qualification of the Transfer
         Restricted Securities under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such
         jurisdictions as the selling Holders may request and do any and all
         other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition
         in such jurisdictions of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by
         the applicable Registration Statement; provided, however, that the
         Company shall not be required to register or qualify as a foreign
         corporation where it is not now so qualified or to take any action
         that would subject it to the service of process in suits or to
         taxation, other than as to matters and transactions relating to the
         Registration Statement, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so
         subject;

                (xiv)  issue, upon the request of any Holder or purchaser of
         Initial Notes covered by any Shelf Registration Statement contemplated
         by this Agreement, Exchange Notes having an aggregate principal amount
         equal to the aggregate principal amount of Initial Notes sold pursuant
         to the Shelf Registration Statement and surrendered to the Company for
         cancellation; the Company shall register Exchange Notes on the Shelf
         Registration Statement for this purpose and issue the Exchange Notes
         to the purchaser(s) of securities subject to the Shelf Registration
         Statement in the names as such purchaser(s) shall designate;

                                       11

                (xv)    in connection with any sale of Transfer Restricted
          Securities that will result in such securities no longer being
         Transfer Restricted Securities, cooperate with the Holders to
         facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates
         representing Transfer Restricted Securities to be sold and not bearing
         any restrictive legends; and to register such Transfer Restricted
         Securities in such denominations and such names as the selling Holders
         may request at least two Business Days prior to such sale of Transfer
         Restricted Securities;

                (xvi)   provide a CUSIP number for all Transfer Restricted
         Securities not later than the effective date of a Registration
         Statement covering such Transfer Restricted Securities and provide the

         any applicable Registration Statement, as soon as practicable, a
         consolidated earnings statement meeting the requirements of Rule 158
         under the Act (which need not be audited) covering a twelve-month
         period beginning after the effective date of the Registration
         Statement (as such term is defined in paragraph (c) of Rule 158 under
         the Act);

                (xviii) cause the Indenture to be qualified under the TIA not
         later than the effective date of the first Registration Statement
         required by this Agreement and, in connection therewith, cooperate
         with the Trustee and the Holders to effect such changes to the
         Indenture as may be required for such Indenture to be so qualified in
         accordance with the terms of the TIA; and execute and use its
         commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Trustee to execute, all
         documents that may be required to effect such changes and all other
         forms and documents required to be filed with the Commission to enable
         such Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner; and

                (xix)   provide promptly to each Holder, upon request, each
         document filed with the Commission pursuant to the requirements of
         Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

Section 6(c)(iii)(C) or any notice from the Company of the existence of any fact
of the kind described in Section 6(c)(i) or Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof (in each
case, a "SUSPENSION NOTICE"), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition
of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the applicable Registration
Statement until (i) such Holder has received copies of the supplemented or
amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(c)(iv) hereof, or (ii) such Holder
is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be
resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that
are incorporated by reference in the Prospectus (in each case, the
"RECOMMENCEMENT DATE"). Each Holder receiving a Suspension Notice hereby agrees
that it will either (i) destroy any Prospectuses, other than permanent file
copies, then in such Holder's possession which have been replaced by the Company
with more recently dated Prospectuses or (ii) deliver to the Company (at the
Company's expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such
Holder's possession of the Prospectus covering such Transfer Restricted
Securities that was current at the time of receipt of the Suspension Notice. The
time period regarding the effectiveness of such Registration Statement set forth

of days equal to the number of days in the period from and including the date of
delivery of the Suspension Notice to the Recommencement Date.

and (ii) each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of
the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) any Holder (any of the persons
referred to in this clause (ii) being hereinafter referred to as a "CONTROLLING
PERSON") and (iii) the respective officers, directors, partners and employees of
any Holder or any controlling person (any person referred to in clause (i), (ii)
or (iii) may hereinafter be referred to as an "INDEMNIFIED HOLDER"), from and
against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments and expenses
(including without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any matter, including
any action that could give rise to any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities
or judgments) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus or
Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) provided by the Company to
any Holder or any prospective purchaser of Exchange Notes or registered Initial
Notes, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
judgments are caused by an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue
statement or omission that is based upon information relating to any of the
Holders furnished in writing to the Company by any of the Holders.

         (b) Each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities agrees, severally and
not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors and
officers, and each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section
15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company to the

                                       13

same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company set forth in (a) above
to each of the Indemnified Holders, but only with reference to information
relating to such Indemnified Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such
Indemnified Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement. In no event
shall any Indemnified Holder be liable or responsible for any amount in excess
of the amount by which the total amount received by such Indemnified Holder with
respect to its sale of Transfer Restricted Securities or Exchange Notes pursuant
to a Registration Statement exceeds the sum of (i) the amount paid by such
Indemnified Holder for such Transfer Restricted Securities plus (ii) the amount
of any damages that such Indemnified Holder has otherwise been required to pay
by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission.

         (c) In case any action shall be commenced involving any person in
respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b) (the
"INDEMNIFIED PARTY"), the indemnified party shall promptly notify the person
against whom such indemnity may be sought (the "INDEMNIFYING PERSON") in writing
and the indemnifying party shall assume the defense of such action, including
the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party and
the payment of all fees and expenses of such counsel, as incurred (except that
in the case of any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant
to both Sections 8(a) and 8(b), an Indemnified Holder shall not be required to
assume the defense of such action pursuant to this Section 8(c), but may employ
separate counsel and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and
expenses of such counsel, except as provided below, shall be at the expense of
the Indemnified Holder). Any indemnified party shall have the right to employ
separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but
the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnified
party unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been specifically
authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (ii) the indemnifying party
shall have failed to assume the defense of such action or employ counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party or (iii) the named parties to
any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnified
party and the indemnifying party, and the indemnified party shall have been
advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available
to it which are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the
right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party).
In any such case, the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one
action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same
jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be
liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in
addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties and all such fees and
expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated
in writing by a majority of the Indemnified Holders, in the case of the parties
indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Company, in the case of parties
indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party shall indemnify and
hold harmless the indemnified party from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and judgments by reason of any settlement of any action (i)
effected with its written consent or (ii) effected without its written consent
if the settlement is entered into more than twenty Business Days after the
indemnifying party shall have received a request from the indemnified party for
reimbursement for the fees and expenses of counsel (in any case where such fees
and expenses are at the expense of the indemnifying party) and, prior to the
date of such settlement, the indemnifying party shall have failed to comply with
such reimbursement request; provided that this clause (ii) shall not apply for
so long as a good faith dispute regarding the reimbursement of such fees and
expenses exists between the parties. No indemnifying party shall, without the
prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement or
compromise of, or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to, any pending
or threatened action in respect of which the indemnified party is or could have
been a party and indemnity or contribution may be or could have been sought
hereunder by the indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or
judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all
liability on claims that are or could have been the subject matter of such
action and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault,
culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the indemnified party.

                                       14

         (d) To the extent that the indemnification provided for in this Section
8 is unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or judgments referred to therein, then each indemnifying
party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or judgments (i) in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one
hand, and the Indemnified Holders, on the other hand, from their sale of
Transfer Restricted Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause
8(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause
8(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and
of the Indemnified Holder, on the other hand, in connection with the statements
or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
judgments, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Indemnified Holder, on the
other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
Company, on the one hand, or by the Indemnified Holder, on the other hand, and
the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity
to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by
a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments
referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses
reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending
any action or claim.

         The Company and each Holder agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro
rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such
purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the
equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The
amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to in the immediately
preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set
forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with investigating or defending any matter, including any
action that could have given rise to such losses, claims, damages, liabilities
or judgments. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Holder, or
its related Indemnified Holders shall be required to contribute, in the
aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the total received by
such Holder with respect to the sale of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant
to a Registration Statement exceeds the sum of (A) the amount paid by such
Holder for such Transfer Restricted Securities, plus (B) the amount of any
damages which such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such
untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of
such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders' obligations to contribute
pursuant to this Section 8(d) are several in proportion to the respective
principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities held by each Holder hereunder
and not joint.

SECTION 9.  RULE 144A AND RULE 144

         The Company agrees with each Holder, for so long as any Transfer
Restricted Securities remain outstanding and during any period in which the
Company (i) is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, to make
available, upon request of any Holder, to such Holder or beneficial owner of
Transfer Restricted Securities in connection with any sale thereof and any
prospective purchaser of such Transfer Restricted Securities designated by such
Holder or beneficial owner, the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under
the Act in order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted Securities
pursuant to Rule 144A under the Act, and (ii) is subject to Section 13 or 15 (d)
of the Exchange Act, to make all filings required thereby in a timely manner in
order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule
144.

                                       15

SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS

         (a) Remedies. The Company acknowledges and agrees that any failure by
the Company to comply with their respective obligations under Section 3 and
Section 4 hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Initial
Purchaser or the Holders for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it
will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in
the event of any such failure, the Initial Purchaser or any Holder may obtain
such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the Company's and
obligations under Section 3 and Section 4 hereof. The Company further agrees to
waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law
would be adequate.

         (b) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company will not, on or after the
date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities
that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or
otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. The Company has not previously
entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to its
securities to any Person that would require such securities to be included in
any Registration Statement filed hereunder. The rights granted to the Holders
hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the
rights granted to the holders of the Company's securities under any agreement in
effect on the date hereof.

         (c) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be
amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to or departures from
the provisions hereof may not be given unless (i) in the case of Section 5
hereof and this Section 10(c)(i), the Company has obtained the written consent
of Holders of all outstanding Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) in the
case of all other provisions hereof, the Company has obtained the written
consent of Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Transfer
Restricted Securities (excluding Transfer Restricted Securities held by the
Company or its Affiliates). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent
to departure from the provisions hereof that relates exclusively to the rights
of Holders whose Transfer Restricted Securities are being tendered pursuant to
the Exchange Offer, and that does not affect directly or indirectly the rights
of other Holders whose Transfer Restricted Securities are not being tendered
pursuant to such Exchange Offer, may be given by the Holders of a majority of
the outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities subject to
such Exchange Offer.

         (d) Guarantors. The Company shall cause any of its Subsidiaries that
becomes, prior to the consummation of the Exchange Offer, a Guarantor (as
defined in the Indenture) to become party to this Agreement and assume, jointly
and severally with the Company and any other Guarantors, the continuing rights
and obligations of the Company and such other Guarantors under this Agreement
(it being understood that execution and delivery of the assumption agreement
(the "ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT"), attached as Annex B to the Escrow and Security
Agreement, dated as of July 14, 2004, among the Company, Mafco Holdings Inc., a
Delaware corporation, The Bank of New York, as escrow agent thereunder and The
Bank of New York, as trustee under the Indenture (the "ESCROW AGREEMENT"), will
satisfy the requirements of this sentence). Notwithstanding the generality of
the foregoing sentence, any entity that becomes a Guarantor upon the
consummation of the Escrow Merger (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) shall
assume, jointly and severally with the Company and any other Guarantors, the
continuing rights and obligations of the Company and such other Guarantors under
this Agreement.

         (e) Third Party Beneficiary. The Holders shall be third party
beneficiaries to the agreements made hereunder between the Company, on the one
hand, and the Initial Purchaser, on the other hand, and shall have the right to
enforce such agreements directly to the extent they may deem such enforcement
necessary or advisable to protect its rights or the rights of Holders hereunder.
