WHEREAS, Brink’s and BHS are entering into the Separation Agreement concurrently herewith, pursuant to which the existing businesses of Brink’s will be separated into two independent businesses, and Brink’s will distribute to holders of shares of Brink’s Common Stock the outstanding shares of BHS Common Stock owned directly or indirectly by Brink’s; and
 
WHEREAS, Brink’s and BHS wish to set forth their agreements as to certain matters regarding compensation and employee benefits matters.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained in this Agreement, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
 
ARTICLE I
 
General
 
SECTION 1.01. General Allocation of Assets and Liabilities for Existing Plans.  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, from and after the Distribution, (a) Brink’s shall retain, or shall cause the applicable other members of the Brink’s Group or its or their applicable employee benefit plans to retain, sponsorship of, and all assets and Liabilities arising out of or relating to, all employment, compensation and employee benefits-related plans, programs, agreements and arrangements sponsored or maintained by Brink’s or any of its Subsidiaries (other than BHS and its Subsidiaries) immediately prior to the Distribution (collectively, the “Existing Brink’s Plans”) and (b) BHS shall retain, or shall cause the applicable other members of the BHS Group or its or their applicable employee benefit plans to retain, sponsorship of, and all assets and Liabilities arising out of or relating to, all employment, compensation and employee benefits-related plans, programs, agreements and arrangements sponsored or maintained by BHS or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Distribution (collectively, the “Existing BHS Plans”).
 
SECTION 1.02. Cessation of Participation in Brink’s Plans.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, as of the Distribution, each employee of BHS or any of its Subsidiaries (whether or not on disability or any other leave of absence) immediately prior to the Distribution (collectively, the “BHS Employees”) shall immediately cease to participate actively in any Existing Brink’s Plan.
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
SECTION 1.03. Adoption of New BHS Plans.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, as of the Distribution, BHS shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, an appropriate level of compensation and employee benefits to the BHS Employees under one or more newly adopted employee benefit plans and arrangements.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, BHS shall be solely responsible for all Liabilities arising out of or relating to such plans and arrangements.
 
ARTICLE II
 
Stock Options and Deferred Stock Units
 
SECTION 2.01. Stock Option Conversion.  (a)  Effective immediately upon the Distribution, each option to purchase Brink’s Common Stock granted under The Brink’s Company 1988 Stock Option Plan, The Brink’s Company 2005 Equity Incentive Plan, The Brink’s Company Non-Employee Directors’ Equity Plan or The Brink’s Company Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan (collectively, the “Brink’s Stock Plans”), whether vested or unvested, that is held, immediately prior to the Distribution, by any (i) BHS Employee, (ii) former employee of BHS or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any such individual who was employed directly by Brink’s or any of its Subsidiaries (other than BHS or any of its Subsidiaries) at any time following such individual’s most recent direct employment with BHS or any of its Subsidiaries) (each such former employee, a “Former BHS Employee”) or (iii) non-employee member of the board of directors of Brink’s who, in connection with the Distribution, ceases to be a member of the board of directors of Brink’s and becomes a member of the board of directors of BHS (each such director, a “Transferring Director”, and each such option, a “Brink’s Stock Option”) shall be converted into an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Brink’s Stock Option, the number of shares of BHS Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) determined by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Brink’s Common Stock subject to such Brink’s Stock Option immediately prior to the Distribution for which such Brink’s Stock Option shall not theretofore have been exercised by (B) the Option Ratio (as defined below) (each, as so adjusted, a “Converted BHS Stock Option”).  The exercise price per share of each Converted BHS Stock Option shall be equal to the per share exercise price for the shares of Brink’s Common Stock otherwise purchasable pursuant to the corresponding Brink’s Stock Option divided by the Option Ratio, and rounded up to the nearest whole cent.  The adjustments provided in this Section 2.01(a) with respect to any Brink’s Stock Options, whether or not they are “incentive stock options” as defined in Section 422 of the Code, are intended to be effected in a manner that is consistent with Section 424(a) and Section 409A of the Code.
 
(b) For purposes of this Agreement, “Option Ratio” shall mean a fraction, the numerator of which is the closing price per share of Brink’s Common Stock on the NYSE Composite Transactions Tape trading with “due bills” on the Distribution Date and the denominator of which is the closing price per share of BHS Common Stock on the NYSE Composite Transactions Tape trading on a “when issued” basis on the Distribution Date.

(c) Effective immediately upon the Distribution, BHS shall assume the Converted BHS Stock Options and all Liabilities related thereto under one or more new equity incentive plans of BHS to be adopted by BHS prior to the Distribution.

SECTION 2.04. Notices.  As soon as reasonably practicable following the Distribution, BHS shall deliver to the holders of Converted BHS Stock Options and Replacement BHS Deferred Stock Units appropriate notices setting forth such holders’ rights in respect thereof and indicating that such Converted BHS Stock Options and Replacement BHS Deferred Stock Units shall be assumed by BHS, in the case of the Converted BHS Stock Options, or granted by BHS, in the case of the Replacement BHS Deferred Stock Units, and shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Brink’s Stock Options and Brink’s Deferred Stock Units they replace except as expressly provided herein.

(b) No later than the Distribution, Brink’s shall cause to be transferred to the BHS 401(k) Plan, and BHS shall cause the BHS 401(k) Plan to accept, an amount equal to the account balances of all BHS Employees and Former BHS Employees who are participants in the Brink’s 401(k) Plan.  Such transfer shall include any promissory notes evidencing outstanding loan balances under the Brink’s 401(k) Plan with respect to such account balances.  Brink’s shall debit the account of each such individual under the Brink’s 401(k) Plan by the amount transferred for the benefit of such individual to the BHS 401(k) Plan, and BHS shall allocate the amounts transferred to the BHS 401(k) Plan to the account of each such individual by crediting such account with the amount debited from such individual’s account under the Brink’s 401(k) Plan.  Following the foregoing transfer, BHS and/or the BHS 401(k) Plan shall assume all Liabilities of Brink’s, the Brink’s Group and their respective Affiliates under the Brink’s 401(k) Plan with respect to all participants in the Brink’s 401(k) Plan whose balances were transferred to the BHS 401(k) Plan and their beneficiaries, and Brink’s, the Brink’s Group and their respective Affiliates and the Brink’s 401(k) Plan shall have no Liabilities to provide such participants with benefits under the Brink’s 401(k) Plan following such transfer.  Brink’s and BHS shall use reasonable efforts to minimize the duration of any “blackout period” imposed in connection with the transfer of account balances from the Brink’s 401(k) Plan to the BHS 401(k) Plan.

BHS shall cause each BHS Employee and Former BHS Employee to be credited with all service accrued with Brink’s and its Subsidiaries prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for purposes of the vesting provisions of the BHS Employee Deferred Compensation Program.  As of the Ex-Dividend Date, all cash amounts deferred by BHS Employees and Former BHS Employees in the Brink’s Employee Deferred Compensation Program not previously converted into units credited to the notional accounts of such BHS Employees and Former BHS Employees shall be converted into units pursuant to the terms of the Brink’s Employee Deferred Compensation Program.  Immediately thereafter, BHS shall assume and be solely responsible for all benefits of the BHS Employees and Former BHS Employees under The Brink’s Employees Deferred Compensation Program with respect all units then standing to the credit of the notional accounts of such BHS Employees and Former BHS Employees (“Converted Units”), and the Converted Units shall be debited from such accounts.  Concurrently therewith, BHS shall establish notional accounts under the BHS Employee Deferred Compensation Program for each such BHS Employee and Former BHS Employee and shall credit a number of units to the account of each such BHS Employee and Former BHS Employee determined by multiplying the number of Converted Units previously in such BHS Employee or Former BHS Employee’s account in the Brink’s Employee Deferred Compensation Program by the Option Ratio.  Following BHS’s assumption of benefits pursuant to this Section 3.04, none of Brink’s, the Brink’s Group and their respective Affiliates shall have any further Liability with respect to any benefits assumed by BHS pursuant to this Section 3.04 and BHS shall indemnify Brink’s, the Brink’s Group and their respective Affiliates from and against any claims made by BHS Employees or Former BHS Employees or their dependents or beneficiaries with respect to such benefits.
