Restricted Stock Units Award Agreement

AWARD AGREEMENT dated as of April 7, 2008 between The Brink’s Company, a Virginia corporation (the “Company”), the employee identified on page one of this Award Agreement (the “Employee”), an employee of the Company or of a subsidiary of the Company.

By resolution dated on the date of this Award Agreement, the Compensation and Benefits Committee (the “Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors, acting pursuant to The Brink’s Company 2005 Equity Incentive Plan as amended (the “Plan”), a copy of which Plan has heretofore been furnished to the Employee (who hereby acknowledges receipt), as a matter of separate inducement and agreement in connection with the employment of the Employee by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and not in lieu of any salary or other compensation for the Employee’s services, granted to the Employee a restricted stock unit award as set forth on page one of this Award Agreement.

Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.  Subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Employee is granted the restricted stock unit award (the “Award”) as set forth on page one of this Award Agreement.

2.  Subject to the Employee’s continued employment as of the relevant vesting date (unless otherwise provided under the terms and conditions of the Plan or this Award Agreement), the Employee shall be entitled to receive (and the Company shall deliver to the Employee) within 75 days following the relevant vesting date set forth on page one of this Award Agreement (or, if applicable, within 75 days following the vesting date set forth in paragraph 4(a) of this Award Agreement), the number of Shares underlying this Award scheduled to vest on such date as set forth on page one (or paragraph 4(a)) of this Award Agreement.

3.  If a cash dividend is paid on a Share while the Award remains outstanding, the Employee shall be entitled to receive at the time such cash dividend is paid (subject to the Employee’s continued employment as of the relevant dividend payment date), a cash payment in an amount equivalent to the cash dividend on a Share with respect to each Share covered by the outstanding Award.  If the Employee incurs a termination of employment prior to the payment of Shares underlying the Employee’s vested portion of the Award but subsequent to the applicable vesting date, as set forth on page one of this Award Agreement, the Employee shall be entitled to receive with respect to each Share underlying the vested portion of the Award a cash payment in amount equivalent to a cash dividend on a Share regardless of whether the Employee continues to be employed as of the relevant dividend payment date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) the Company consummates a spin-off transaction of Brink’s Home Security (a “BHS Spin-
 
Page 2 (Company Copy)

 
Off Transaction”) while the Award remains outstanding and (ii) the BHS Spin-Off Transaction is achieved by means of a dividend or other distribution with respect to a Share, the Employee shall not be entitled to receive a cash (or stock) payment in an amount equivalent to such dividend or distribution on Shares covered by the outstanding Award.  However, in the event of a BHS Spin-Off Transaction and in lieu of a dividend equivalent payment with respect to each Share covered by the outstanding Award, the Committee shall equitably adjust in accordance with Section 5(d) of the Plan the number of restricted stock units subject to the outstanding Award at the time of the BHS Spin-Off Transaction.

4.      Notwithstanding the terms of the Plan, if the Employee shall cease to be an employee of the Company or an Affiliate:

(a) if termination of employment is by reason of the Employee’s death or permanent and total disability, the outstanding Award shall fully vest and become payable (subject to paragraph 2 above) as of the date of such termination of employment;
 
(b) if termination of employment is by reason other than as provided in paragraph 4(a) above, the outstanding Award shall be canceled as of such termination of employment and shall have no further force or effect.
 
5.  The Shares underlying the Award, until and unless delivered to the Employee, do not represent an equity interest in the Company and carry no voting rights.  The Employee will not have any rights of a shareholder with respect to the Shares underlying the Award until the Shares have been delivered to the Employee.

6.  In accordance with Section 14(b) of the Plan, the Committee may in its sole discretion withhold from the payment to the Employee hereunder a sufficient amount to provide for the payment of any taxes required to be withheld by federal, state or local law with respect to income resulting from such payment.

7.  The Award is not transferable by the Employee otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

8.  All other provisions contained in the Plan as in effect on the date of this Award Agreement are incorporated in this Award Agreement by reference.  The Board of Directors of the Company or the Committee thereof may amend the Plan at any time, provided that if such amendment shall adversely affect the rights of a holder of an Award with respect to a previously granted Award, the Award holder’s consent shall be required except to the extent any such amendment is made to comply with any applicable law, stock exchange rules and regulations or accounting or tax rules and regulations.  This Award Agreement may at any time be amended by mutual agreement of the Committee of the Board of Directors (or a designee thereof) and the holder of the Award.  Prior to a
