THE PITTSTON COMPANY
The Pittston Company, a Virginia corporation incorporated in 1930, has three
primary operating segments within its "Business and Security Services"
businesses: Brink's, Incorporated ("Brink's"); Brink's Home Security, Inc.
("BHS"); and BAX Global Inc. ("BAX Global").
The fourth operating segment is Other Operations, which consists of gold, timber
and natural gas operations. The Company also has significant assets and
liabilities associated with its former coal operations and expects to have
significant ongoing expenses and cash outflows related to former coal operations
in the future.
The Pittston Company and its subsidiaries are referred to herein as the
"Company". The Company's common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange
under the symbol "PZB."
Financial information related to the Company's operating segments is included in
Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's 2002 Annual
Report, which Note is herein incorporated by reference.
The Company has approximately 50,000 employees in its Business and Security
Services operations, including approximately 37,500 at Brink's, 2,500 at BHS and
10,000 at BAX Global.
A significant portion of the Company's business is conducted outside the United
States. Because the financial results of the Company are reported in U.S.
dollars, they are affected by changes in the value of the various foreign
currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The Company, from time to time, uses
foreign currency forward contracts to hedge certain transactional risks
associated with foreign currencies. The Company is also subject to other risks
customarily associated with doing business in foreign countries, including labor
and economic conditions, political instability, controls on repatriation of
earnings and capital, nationalization, expropriation and other forms of
restrictive action by local governments. The future effects of such risks on the
Company cannot be predicted.
The Pittston Company's internet address is www.pittston.com. The Company makes
available, free of charge, through its website, its Annual Report on Form 10-K,
quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to
those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company electronically
files such information with or furnishes it to the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
BUSINESS AND SECURITY SERVICES
BRINK'S, INCORPORATED ("BRINK'S")
GENERAL
The major services offered by Brink's include armored car transportation,
automated teller machine ("ATM") servicing, currency and deposit processing,
coin sorting and wrapping, arranging the secure air transportation of valuables
("Global Services") and the deploying and servicing of safes and safe control
devices, including its patented CompuSafe(R) service. Brink's serves customers
through 154 branches in the U.S. and 41 branches in Canada. Service is also
provided through subsidiaries, equity affiliates and associated companies in 48
countries outside the U.S. and Canada. Brink's ownership interest in
subsidiaries and affiliated companies ranges from 20% to 100%. In some instances
local laws limit the extent of Brink's ownership interest.
Brink's customers include banks; industrial, retail and other commercial
businesses; investment banking and brokerage firms; and government agencies,
such as a country's central bank. Brink's provides individualized services under
separate contracts designed to meet the distinct transportation, security and
logistics requirements of its customers. These contracts are usually for an
initial term of one year or less, but continue in effect thereafter until
canceled by either party.
Brink's armored car transportation services generally include secure
transportation of:
o Cash from businesses to banks for deposit.
o Cash, securities and other negotiable items and valuables between commercial
banks, central banks (such as the U.S. Federal Reserve Banks and their
branches and correspondents) and brokerage firms.
o New currency, coins and precious metals for a number of central banks
throughout the world.
o Canceled checks between banks or between a clearing house and its member banks
in certain geographic areas.
In late 2001 and early 2002, Brink's participated in the initial distribution of
the euro in Europe.
The trend by banks, retail businesses and others to outsource vaulting and cash
room operations continued in 2002. Brink's provides coin and currency processing
("cash logistics") services primarily to banks and retail customers. Retail
customers use Brink's cash logistics services to count and reconcile coins and
currency in Brink's secure environment, to prepare bank deposit information and
to replenish retail locations' coins and currency in proper denominations.
-1-
Through its proprietary cash processing and information systems, Brink's offers
customers the ability to integrate a full range of cash vault, ATM,
transportation, storage, processing, inventory management and reporting
services. Brink's believes that its cash processing and information systems
differentiate its cash logistics services from its competitors.
For transporting money and other valuables over long distances, Brink's Global
Services offers a combined armored car and secure air transportation service
between many cities around the world. Brink's uses regularly scheduled or
chartered aircraft in connection with its air courier services. Included in
Global Services is a worldwide specialized diamond and jewelry secure
transportation operation, with offices in the major diamond and jewelry centers
of the world.
Brink's CompuSafe(R) services provide retail customers with a proprietary
integrated system of safeguarding and managing cash. Brink's markets its
CompuSafe(R) services to a variety of cash-intensive retail customers, such as
convenience stores, gas stations and restaurants. The service includes
installing a specialized safe in the retail establishment that holds safeguarded
canisters. The customer's employees deposit currency into the canister. The
canister can only be removed by Brink's armored car personnel.
Brink's International operations accounted for approximately 56% of its revenues
and 46% of its operating profits in 2002. Brink's has International operations
in three regions: Europe, South America and Asia/Pacific.
COMPETITION
Brink's is the oldest and largest armored car service company in the U.S. as
well as a market leader in many of the countries in which it operates.
Worldwide, Brink's competes with a number of large multinational companies and
with many smaller companies.
Primary factors in attracting and retaining customers are security, the quality
of services provided and the price charged for services rendered. Brink's
believes its competitive advantages include:
o Recognizable name
o Reputation for a high level of service and security
o Proprietary cash processing and information systems
o High-quality insurance coverage
o Ability to serve multiple markets for the same customer in many of the
countries in which Brink's has operations
Brink's believes its cost structure is generally competitive, although Brink's
believes certain competitors may have lower costs as a result of lower wage and
benefit levels for employees or as a result of different security standards.
To reduce costs, financial institutions frequently use consultants and
purchasing and procurement professionals to negotiate price and frequency of
services with armored car companies. Brink's growth in sales to retail
businesses is partially dependent on the growth in the economy. Recent slow
economic growth has resulted in an increasing focus on the cost of armored car
services by retail customers. Because of Brink's high level of service and
security, and quality insurance coverage, Brink's resists competing on price
alone.
The availability of quality and reliable insurance coverage is an important
factor in the ability of Brink's to obtain and retain customers and to manage
the risks of its business. Brink's purchases "all risk" insurance coverage for
losses in excess of what it considers prudent deductibles and/or retentions. For
losses below deductible or retention levels, Brink's is self-insured. Brink's
insurance policies cover losses from most causes, with the exception of war,
nuclear risk and certain other exclusions typical for such policies. Brink's
generally does not offer its customers protection from losses arising from such
excluded causes.
Insurance is provided by different groups of underwriters at negotiated rates
and terms. Insurance is available to Brink's in major markets although the
premiums charged are subject to fluctuations depending on market conditions. The
loss experience of Brink's and, to a limited extent, other armored carriers
affects premium rates charged to Brink's.
SERVICE MARK, PATENTS AND COPYRIGHTS
BRINKS is a registered service mark in the U.S. and certain foreign countries.
The BRINKS mark, name and related marks are of material significance to Brink's
business. Brink's owns patents with respect to certain coin sorting and counting
machines, which expire in 2007 and 2008, respectively. Brink's has patents
associated with its integrated service, CompuSafe(R), that expire in 2015
through 2018. The patents for CompuSafe(R) and sorting and counting machines
provide important advantages to Brink's in their respective areas of business.
However, Brink's operations are not dependent on the existence of the
aforementioned patents.
The Company has entered into certain agreements to license the Brink's or the
Brink's Home Security name. Examples include licenses to distributors of
security products (padlocks, home safes, door and window hardware, etc.) offered
for sale to consumers through major retail chains.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
The operations of Brink's are subject to regulation by the U.S. Department of
Transportation with respect to safety of operations and equipment and financial
responsibility. Intrastate operations in the U.S. and intraprovince operations
in Canada are subject to regulation by state and by Canadian and provincial
regulatory authorities, respectively. Brink's International operations are
regulated to varying degrees by the countries in which they operate.
EMPLOYEE RELATIONS
At December 31, 2002, Brink's and its subsidiaries had approximately 37,500
employees, including11,400 employees in North America, (of whom 2,000 were
classified as part-time employees) and 26,100 employees outside North America.
At
-2-
December 31, 2002, Brink's was a party to 14 collective bargaining agreements
in North America with various local unions covering approximately 1,500
employees, almost all of whom are employees in Canada and members of unions
affiliated with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. Negotiations are
continuing on one agreement that has expired and three agreements expiring in
2003. The remaining agreements will expire after 2003. Outside of North America,
the branch workforce are members of labor or employee organizations in the
majority of the countries of operation. Brink's believes that its employee
relations are satisfactory.
PROPERTIES
In North America, Brink's owns 29 branch offices and leases an additional 166
branch offices, located in 39 states, the District of Columbia and nine Canadian
provinces. Such branches generally include office space and garage or vehicle
terminals. Of the leased branches, 121 facilities are held under long-term
leases. The remaining 45 branches are held under short-term leases or
month-to-month tenancies. Brink's corporate headquarters facility in Darien,
Connecticut, is held under a lease expiring in 2005.
In North America, Brink's owns or leases approximately 2,400 armored vehicles,
300 panel trucks and 200 other vehicles that are primarily service vehicles.
Brink's armored vehicles are of bullet-resistant construction and are specially
designed and equipped to afford security for crew and cargo.
Brink's subsidiaries and affiliated and associated companies located outside
North America operate from approximately 500 branches, the majority of which are
leased, with approximately 4,600 owned or leased armored vehicles.
Approximately 4,000 Brink's-owned CompuSafe(R) devices are located on customers'
premises in North America.
BRINK'S HOME SECURITY ("BHS")
GENERAL
BHS believes that it is the second largest provider of monitored security
services to single family residences in North America. BHS is primarily engaged
in the business of marketing, selling, installing, monitoring and servicing
electronic security systems in owner-occupied, single-family residences. At
December 31, 2002, BHS had approximately 767,000 systems under monitoring
contracts, including approximately 106,000 new subscribers added during the
year. BHS provides services to subscribers located in more than 250 metropolitan
areas in 43 states, the District of Columbia and two western provinces in
Canada.
BHS' typical security system installation consists of sensors and other devices
which are installed at a customer's home. The equipment can be configured to
signal intrusion, fire, medical and other alerts. When an alarm is triggered, a
signal is sent by telephone line to BHS' central monitoring station in Irving,
Texas. The monitoring station holds an Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc. ("UL")
listing. UL specifications for service centers include building integrity,
back-up computer and power systems, staffing and standard operating procedures.
In the event of an emergency, such as fire, tornado, major interruption in
telephone or computer service, or any other event affecting the Irving facility,
monitoring operations can be transferred to a backup facility located in
Carrollton, Texas.
BHS markets its alarm systems primarily through TV and direct mail advertising,
yellow page advertising, alliances with other service companies, inbound
telemarketing and field sales employees. BHS employees install and service most
of the systems; however, subcontractors are utilized on occasion in some service
areas. BHS does not manufacture the equipment used in its security systems.
Equipment is purchased from a limited number of suppliers and no interruptions
in supply are expected. Equipment inventories are maintained at each branch
office.
BHS has an authorized dealer program to expand its geographic coverage and
leverage its national advertising. The dealer program accounted for less than 9%
of new installations during 2002 and, as of December 31, 2002, less than 3% of
BHS' total subscriber base. Approximately 67 dealers were authorized to
participate in the program as of December 31, 2002. BHS requires that its
dealers install the same type of equipment as is installed by its own branches,
and adhere to the same installation quality standards.
In addition to initiating subscriber relationships through its branch and dealer
networks, BHS obtains new residential subscribers through its Brink's Home
Technologies division. Brink's Home Technologies markets residential security
systems, as well as a variety of low-voltage security, home networking,
communications and entertainment options, directly to major home builders.
BHS also provides monitored security to residents of apartment and condominium
complexes; however, such customers currently represent less than 2% of
subscribers.
Although its core business is focused on the monitoring of residential security
systems, BHS installs and monitors commercial security systems on a limited
basis. Such customers represent approximately 4% of subscribers.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
BHS and its employees are subject to various federal, state and local consumer
protection, licensing and other laws and regulations. BHS' business relies upon
the use of telephone lines to communicate signals, and telephone companies are
currently regulated by both the Federal and state governments. Regulation of the
installation and monitoring of fire detection devices has also increased in
several local markets. BHS' wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, Brink's Home
Security Canada Limited, is subject to the laws of Canada, British Columbia and
Alberta.
The alarm service industry experiences a high incidence of false alarms. BHS
believes its false alarm rate compares favorably to other companies' rates. The
high incidence of false alarms in the industry has caused some local governments
to impose
-3-
assessments, fines and penalties on either subscribers or the alarm
companies. A few municipalities are considering ordinances under which both
permit and alarm dispatch fees would be charged directly to the alarm companies.
BHS alarm service contracts allow BHS to pass these charges on to customers.
Police departments in two major western U.S. cities do not respond to calls from
alarm companies unless an emergency has been visually verified. If more police
departments in the future refuse to respond to calls from alarm companies
without visual verification, this could have an adverse effect on future results
of operations for BHS.
COMPETITION
BHS competes in most major metropolitan markets in the U.S. and several markets
in western Canada through branch operations or its authorized dealer program.
The home security market has a large number of competitors, including many local
and regional companies. Several of BHS' large competitors have placed a heavy
reliance on dealers and acquisitions to increase their subscriber bases, whereas
BHS has gained almost all of its subscribers through internal sales efforts. BHS
believes that it is now the second largest provider of monitored security
services to single-family residences in North America.
Competition is based on a variety of factors including, but not limited to,
price, product quality, company reputation and service quality. There has been
substantial competitive pressure on installation fees in recent years. Several
significant competitors offer installation prices which match or are less than
BHS' prices; however, many of the small local competitors in BHS' markets
continue to charge significantly more for installation. Competitive pressure on
monitoring rates, while less intense than on installation fees, is still
substantial. BHS believes that the monitoring rates it offers are generally
comparable to the rates offered by other major security companies.
BHS believes its customer retention rate is the highest among the major home
security service companies. BHS attributes its relatively high customer
retention rate to the high credit standards for new customers which reduces the
number of subsequent cancellations of service related to nonpayment. BHS also
believes it is more effective than the other major home security services
companies in the area of customer service, which tends to reduce customer
disconnects over time.
EMPLOYEES
BHS has approximately 2,500 employees, none of whom is covered by a collective
bargaining agreement. BHS believes that its employee relations are satisfactory.
PROPERTIES
BHS has approximately 55 leased offices and warehouse facilities located
throughout the U.S. and one leased office in Canada. The central monitoring
station in Irving, Texas is leased for a seven-year term ending in 2005,
including renewal options. This facility also serves as BHS' headquarters and
houses most administrative, technical and marketing services personnel. The
lease for the backup monitoring center in Carrollton, Texas, expires in 2005.
BHS leases approximately 1,300 vehicles which are used in the process of
installing and servicing its security systems.
BHS retains ownership of most of the approximately 767,000 systems currently
under contract. When a customer cancels monitoring services, BHS typically
disables the system. In a limited number of cases, BHS removes the equipment.
When a customer cancels monitoring services because of a move, the retention of
the BHS system in the residence facilitates the marketing of monitoring services
to the new homeowner.
BAX GLOBAL
GENERAL
BAX Global provides transportation and supply chain management services on a
global basis. BAX Global specializes in the heavy freight market for business to
business shipping.
BAX Global's transportation services are provided within North America using a
dedicated fleet of 20 planes with a national sorting hub in Toledo, Ohio. BAX
Global's North American operation also has a ground network that provides
transportation on a regional basis.
Outside North America, BAX Global provides transportation services using
available space on commercial carriers, and on occasion using chartered
aircraft. BAX Global's primary markets outside North America are shipping from
Asia to North America and Europe, and between North America and Europe.
BAX Global continues to expand its ocean shipping business primarily by
marketing its ocean products to its current air freight and supply chain
management customer base.
Air Transport International, LLC ("ATI"), a wholly owned subsidiary of BAX
Global, provides transportation services in North America to BAX Global and also
provides charter transportation services to other customers.
BAX Global provides certain transportation customers with supply chain
management services and operates more than 40 logistics warehouse and
distribution facilities in key world markets. BAX Global specializes in
developing supply chain management programs for companies entering new global
markets or consolidating regional activity.
TRANSPORTATION
BAX Global offers its North American (U.S., Canada and Mexico) transportation
customers a variety of products and pricing options, such as guaranteed and
standard overnight and second-day delivery as well as deferred delivery
(delivery generally within one to three business days). A variety of value-added
ancillary services, such as shipment tracking, inventory control and management
reports are also offered.
Outside North America, BAX Global offers a variety of services including
standard and expedited freight services, ocean forwarding, and door-to-door
delivery.
-4-
BAX Global also frequently acts as customs broker, facilitating the clearance of
goods through customs at international points of entry. BAX Global has the
ability to link its international network with the North American transportation
infrastructure and customs brokerage capabilities to provide seamless
door-to-door delivery and distribution from global markets to virtually any city
in North America.
BAX Global sells its services primarily through its direct sales force. BAX
Global uses various marketing methods, including print media advertising and
direct marketing campaigns.
BAX Global generally picks up or receives freight shipments from its customers,
consolidates the freight of various customers into shipments for common
destinations and arranges for the transportation of the consolidated freight.
BAX Global uses either commercial carriers or, in the case of most of its North
American shipments, its own transportation fleet and regional and national hub
sorting facilities. BAX Global distributes the shipments at the package's
destination. While shipments move long distances on either common carrier or BAX
Global's fleet, the local pickup and delivery of freight are accomplished
principally by independent contractors using trucks dedicated to the BAX Global
network. BAX Global's independent contractors are required to display BAX
Global's logo and colors.
BAX Global has the ability to provide freight service to all North American
business communities as well as to virtually all countries through its network
of 500 company-operated stations and agent locations in 123 countries. BAX
Global's network is composed primarily of controlled subsidiaries and, to a
lesser extent, agents and sales representatives in many non-U.S. locations
typically under short-term contracts.
BAX Global's freight business is tied to the cycles of international trade, with
higher volumes of shipments from August through December than during the other
months of the year. The lowest volume of shipments generally occurs in January
and February.
Including U.S. export and import revenue, BAX Global's international shipments
and logistics services accounted for approximately 76% of its revenues in 2002.
Intra-U.S. shipments accounted for approximately 24% of total revenues in 2002.
BAX Global's network has a worldwide communications and information system which
provides global tracking and tracing of shipments and logistics data for
management information reports, enabling customers to improve efficiency and
control costs. BAX Global's customers are increasingly turning to its online
services offering information management available via its web site,
www.baxglobal.com.
SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
BAX Global provides supply chain management services to a growing list of
customers. BAX Global's supply chain management business specializes in
developing solutions that include the design, implementation and management of
inventory, distribution and information processes to improve a customer's
efficiency and productivity.
BAX Global operates value-added logistics warehouse and distribution facilities
in key world markets. Companies in the healthcare, retail, automotive, aerospace
and high technology industries have been targeted as businesses with significant
supply chain management needs.
AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS
BAX Global has a fleet of leased and contracted aircraft providing regularly
scheduled next-day service throughout North America. BAX Global's wholly owned
subsidiary, ATI, is a U.S.-based freight and passenger airline that operates a
certificated fleet of DC-8 aircraft. BAX Global operates Boeing 727s under
contracts that provide the aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance ("ACMI").
ATI also provides domestic and international service for the U.S. Government Air
Mobility Command and other charter customers.
The following is a summary of BAX Global's fleet as of December 31, 2002.

(a) Aircraft configured to accommodate both passengers and cargo.
Of the 20 planes in BAX Global's transportation network, 17 are assigned to
regularly scheduled routes. Generally, three planes are held for use as backups
or are in maintenance.
BAX Global's nightly scheduled lift capacity for planes in operation at December
31, 2002 was approximately 1.0 million pounds, based on an average freight
density of 7.5 pounds per cubic foot. BAX Global's nightly lift capacity varies
depending upon the number and type of planes operated by BAX Global at any
particular time. Including trucking capacity available to BAX Global, the
aggregate daily cargo capacity at December 31, 2002, was approximately 1.9
million pounds.
For aircraft held under long-term lease, BAX Global is generally responsible for
all the normal costs of operating and maintaining the aircraft. In addition, BAX
Global is generally responsible for all or a portion of any special maintenance
or modifications which may be required by Federal Aviation Administration
("FAA") regulations or orders (see "Government Regulation" below). BAX Global's
ultimate liability for FAA matters is generally subject to dollar limits,
specific exclusions and sharing arrangements with
-5-
the lessors. Over the last three years, BAX Global spent approximately $97
million on routine heavy maintenance of its aircraft fleet. BAX Global is
generally responsible for fuel costs and other incidental costs such as landing
fees for aircraft operated under ACMI contracts.
See Notes 14 and 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's
2002 Annual Report for information regarding future minimum lease payments and
other purchase commitments related to the Company's aircraft. BAX Global's 16
leased aircraft have various expiration dates extending through 2005, and its 10
planes under ACMI contracts have various expiration dates through 2004. Based on
the current state of the aircraft leasing market, BAX Global believes that it
should be able to renew these leases or enter into new leases on terms
reasonably comparable to those currently in effect.
The average airframe age of the fleet operated by ATI is in excess of 30 years;
however, the condition of a particular aircraft and its fair market value is
dependent on its maintenance history. Factors other than age, such as cycles
(essentially the number of flights) can have a significant impact on an
aircraft's serviceability. Generally, cargo aircraft tend to have fewer cycles
than passenger aircraft over comparable time periods because they are used for
fewer flights per day and longer flight segments.
Fuel costs are a significant element of the total costs of operating BAX
Global's aircraft fleet. Fuel prices are subject to worldwide and local market
conditions. In order to protect against price increases in jet fuel, from time
to time BAX Global enters into hedging agreements, including swap contracts,
options and collars. BAX Global charges a fuel surcharge in the U.S. to its
customers when fuel costs are higher.
CUSTOMERS
BAX Global's customers include thousands of large and small industrial and
commercial businesses. Worldwide, BAX Global's top 10 customers accounted for
less than 16% of total BAX Global revenue in 2002. The Company targets customers
in the automotive, aerospace, healthcare, high technology, retail and other
industries where rapid delivery of high-value products is required.
COMPETITION
The transportation and supply chain management industries have been and are
expected to remain highly competitive. The principal competitive factors in the
transportation industry are price, the ability to provide consistently fast and
reliable delivery of shipments and the ability to provide premium services such
as shipment tracking. The principal competitive factors in the supply chain
industry are price, access to a reliable transportation network, warehousing and
distribution capabilities, and sophisticated information systems.
There is aggressive price competition in the heavy-freight market, particularly
for the business of high volume shippers. BAX Global competes with various types
of transportation companies, including other integrated transportation companies
that operate their own fleets, as well as with freight forwarders, premium
less-than-truckload (or "LTL") carriers, express delivery services, and
passenger airlines.
Domestically, BAX Global also competes with package delivery services provided
by ground transportation companies, including trucking firms and surface freight
forwarders that offer specialized time-specific services within limited
geographical areas. As an international freight forwarder, BAX Global competes
with government-owned or subsidized passenger airlines, postal services and
ocean shipping companies.
BAX Global believes its hub-and-spoke network of aircraft and trucks that serves
the North American market allows it to move freight more reliably than if it
solely used third-party services. The hub, which is located in Toledo, Ohio,
consists of various facilities, including a technologically advanced material
handling system, which is capable of sorting approximately one million pounds of
freight per hour. BAX Global believes its hub-and-spoke system feeds much of its
North American import and export business and believes it provides a competitive
advantage by offering superior, reliable service to its customers, shipping to,
from or within North America.
In supply chain management services, BAX Global competes with many third-party
logistics providers.
EMPLOYEE RELATIONS
BAX Global and its subsidiaries have approximately 10,000 employees worldwide,
of whom about 1,200 are classified as part-time.
As of December 31, 2002, approximately 200 flight crewmembers (captains, first
officers and flight engineers), were represented for purposes of collective
bargaining by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. Another 100 employees
in the U.S. (principally customer service, clerical and/or dock workers) were
represented by labor unions that in most cases are also affiliated with the
International Brotherhood of Teamsters. BAX Global did not experience any
significant strike or work stoppage in 2002 and believes that its employee
relations are satisfactory.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
The air transportation industry, including BAX Global, is subject to regulation
by the FAA under the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended, and the
Transportation Security Administration ("TSA") under the Aviation and
Transportation Security Act of 2001. The FAA and TSA are agencies of the
Department of Transportation ("DOT").

connection with its operations, including certain safety and security
regulations of the DOT and other federal and state agencies. BAX Global's
international operations are regulated by varying degrees by the countries in
which they operate.
-6-
PROPERTIES
BAX Global has approximately 260 company-operated stations (100 domestic and 160
international) and has agency agreements with approximately 240 stations (50
domestic and 190 international). BAX Global's stations are usually located at or
near airports or other transportation corridors. BAX Global operates domestic
stations, which generally include office space and warehousing facilities
located in 39 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. BAX Global
operates international facilities in 30 countries. Nearly all company-operated
stations are leased.
BAX Global operates its main distribution facility at Toledo Express Airport in
Ohio, which facilitates a fleet of aircraft and a freight-sorting operation and

OTHER OPERATIONS
The Company's Other Operations include its gold, timber and natural gas
businesses. At the end of 2002, the Company's Other Operations had approximately
60 employees. The Company does not consider its businesses within its Other
Operations to be core businesses. The Company expects to exit these activities
to focus resources on its core Business and Security Services segments.
Each of the gold, timber and natural gas businesses operate in cyclical
commodity business environments where prices are determined based partly on the
local and worldwide economy. The results of operations of each of these
businesses are highly dependent on the price of their respective products.
The Company's Other Operations own properties and interests including land,
hardwood forests, natural gas reserves and a gold mine and reserves.
GOLD
The Company's gold business is directed at locating and acquiring mineral
assets, developing advanced stage projects and operating mines.
At December 31, 2002, the Company had a 45.1% interest in MPI Mines Ltd. ("MPI")
and through its ownership of MPI and a 50% direct interest, the Company had a
72.5% interest in a gold mine in Stawell, Victoria, Australia ("Stawell"). At
December 31, 2002, through its ownership of MPI and a 25% direct interest, the
Company had a 36.3% interest in a gold mine and gold mill tolling operation in
Coolgardie, Western Australia.
In the fourth quarter 2002, the Company entered into an agreement to negotiate
the transfer of its direct interests in its Stawell and Coolgardie gold mining
joint ventures to MPI in exchange for additional shares of MPI and royalties on
future production. The transfer is contingent upon various factors.
In January 2003, MPI registered its shares on the Australian Stock Exchange and
issued additional shares of stock. After the new shares were issued, the Company
owns 30.4% of MPI.
Stawell's and Coolgardie's 2002 production and estimates of proved and probable
gold reserves as of December 31, 2002 were as follows:
2002
(Ounces of gold) Production Reserves
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stawell 101,000 222,000
Coolgardie 3,000 181,000
TIMBER
The Company's timber business has a sawmill facility that produces products
primarily for the hardwood flooring industry. The timber business also sells
hardwood chips to the paper industry and logs to other sawmill customers that
are used in the high-grade furniture and veneer markets. The Company owns
approximately 140 thousand acres of surface and timberlands in southwest
Virginia.
NATURAL GAS
The Company invests in and receives royalty income from gas development and
operations. Net proved developed natural gas reserves located in Virginia and
West Virginia approximated 57 billion cubic feet including royalty interests and
a small interest purchased in the first quarter of 2003.
FORMER OPERATIONS
During December 2002, the Company concluded its plan to sell or shut down its
remaining coal mining operations and is no longer operating as an active coal
producer.
The Company intends to continue to market its residual coal assets to interested
parties. The Company has retained certain coal-related liabilities and related
expenses. Retained liabilities include obligations related to postretirement
benefits for Company-sponsored plans, black lung benefits, reclamation and other
costs related to idle (shut-down) mines which have been retained, Health Benefit
Act, workers' compensation claims and costs of withdrawal from multi-employer
pension plans. Expenses related to these liabilities have been reflected in the
loss from discontinued operations through the disposal date. Subsequent to
-7-
the completion of the disposal process (for the period beginning
January 1, 2003), adjustments to coal-related contingent liabilities will be
reflected in discontinued operations, and expenses related to Company-sponsored
pension and postretirement benefit obligations and black lung obligations will
be reflected in continuing operations. In addition, subsequent to the disposal
date, the Company expects to have certain ongoing costs related to the
administration of the retained liabilities and will report those costs in
continuing operations. A portion of the obligations are expected to be assumed
by parties that purchase the Company's residual coal assets. The Company has not
recorded these obligations as liabilities on the balance sheet. The obligations
could be recorded as liabilities on the balance sheet in the future (with an
additional charge to earnings) if the Company no longer believes these
obligations will be assumed by other parties. See Notes 5 and 21 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements, which Notes are herein incorporated by
reference.
At December 31, 2002, the Company had approximately 110 employees related to its
former coal operations. These employees perform various duties including
reclaiming and maintaining residual assets and managing other retained
liabilities related to the former coal operations.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 and the regulations
promulgated thereunder ("SMCRA") by the Federal Office of Surface Mining
Reclamation and Enforcement ("OSM") establish mining and reclamation standards
for all aspects of surface mining as well as many aspects of deep mining. OSM
and its state counterparts monitor compliance with SMCRA. The Company's policy
is to correct violations that are the subject of OSM notices or to contest those
believed to be without merit.
The Company is also subject to other federal environmental laws, including the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act; the Occupational Safety and Health Act;
the Toxic Substances Control Act; the Comprehensive Environmental Resource,
Compensation and Liability Act; the Clean Water Act; the Clean Air Act and the
Safe Drinking Water Act, as well as state laws of similar scope. The Company
believes it is in compliance with all applicable environmental laws.
The Company has agreed to pay 80% of the remediation costs arising from
hydrocarbon contamination at a formerly owned petroleum terminal facility
("Tankport") in Jersey City, New Jersey, which was sold in 1983. The Company is
in the process of remediating the site under an approved plan. The Company
estimates its portion of the actual remaining clean-up and operational and
maintenance costs, on an undiscounted basis, to be between $2.2 million and $4.3
million. The Company is in discussions with another potentially responsible
party to recover a portion of the amount paid and to be paid by the Company
related to this matter.
HEALTH AND SAFETY LAWS
Health and safety standards in the U.S. coal industry, including reclamation and
maintenance activities on the Company's residual coal assets, are legislated by
the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969 and the Federal Mine Safety
and Health Act of 1977. The Company believes it is in compliance with all
applicable health and safety laws.
PROPERTIES
The residual properties of the Company's former coal operations are (i) unmined
or partially mined coal reserves, (ii) closed or idled coal mines, (iii) an
idled coal preparation plant, (iv) a corporate office in Lebanon, VA, and (v)
various other properties. The Company is attempting to sell coal reserves it
owns or leases primarily in West Virginia. Leases of land or coal mining rights
generally are either for a long-term period or until exhaustion of the reserves.
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Certain of the matters discussed herein, including statements regarding
significant ongoing expenses and cash outflows related to former coal operations
in the future (including costs related to the administration of retained
liabilities), the uninterrupted supply of equipment to BHS, the impact that the
refusal of police departments to respond to calls from alarm companies without
visual verification would have on BHS' results of operations, the expected
seasonal impact on the volumes shipped by BAX Global, the ability of BAX Global
to renew certain aircraft leases or enter into new leases on reasonably
comparable terms, the highly competitive nature of the transportation and supply
chain management industries, the Company's plan to exit its gold, timber and
natural gas businesses, the consummation of the transfer of the Company's direct
interests in the Stawell and Coolgardie joint ventures to MPI, the amount of
proved and probable gold reserves, the amount of proved developed atural gas
reserves, the ability to sell residual coal assets and transfer various related
obligations, the possibility that various obligations associated with the
Company's former coal business may be recorded as liabilities on the balance
sheet in the future (with an additional charge to earnings), estimates of
clean-up, operational and maintenance costs relating to the Tankport matter and
possibility that the Company will be able to recover a portion of amounts paid
or to be paid from another potentially responsible party, involve
forward-looking information which is subject to known and unknown risks,
uncertainties, and contingencies which could cause actual results, performance
or achievements, to differ materially from those which are
anticipated.
Such risks, uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the
control of the Company, include, but are not limited to, actual retirement
experience of the former coal operation's employees, black lung claims
incidence, the number of dependents covered under benefit obligations, coal
industry turnover rates, actual medical and legal costs relating to the
benefits, changes in inflation rates (including the continued volatility of
medical
-8-
inflation), the performance of BHS' equipment suppliers, the incidence
of false alarms, the willingness of BHS' customers to pay for private response
personnel or other alternatives to police responses to alarms, the market for
airplanes, the ability to obtain appropriate value for the gold, timber, and
natural gas businesses and the remaining coal assets. The negotiation of
definitive agreements for such businesses and assets, as well as for the Stawell
and Coolgardie joint ventures, and the satisfaction of any conditions to closing
contained therein, including the receipt of various consents and other
approvals, changes in the Company's strategies regarding the sale of gold,
timber and natural gas businesses, the actual amount of gold reserves and
natural gas reserves held by the Company's Other Operations, the accuracy of the
testing done and the validity of the assumptions used in estimating gold and
natural gas reserves,the completion and processing of permit replacement
documentation and the ability of purchasers of coal assets to post the required
bonds, changes in the Company's belief that various obligations associated with
the former coal business will be assumed by other parties, changes in the scope
or method of remediation or monitoring of the Tankport property, the negotiation
of a mutually acceptable agreement with the potentially responsible party in the
Tankport matter, overall economic and business conditions, foreign currency
exchange rates, the demand for the Company's products and services, the ability
of the Company and its operations to obtain appropriate insurance coverage at
reasonable prices, pricing and other competitive industry factors, fuel prices,
new government regulations and legislative initiatives, issuance of permits,
judicial decisions, variations in costs or expenses including interest rates,
and the ability of counterparties to perform.

UNDERTAKING
For the purposes of complying with the amendments to the rules governing Form
S-8 (effective July 13, 1990) under the Securities Act of 1933, the undersigned
Registrant hereby undertakes as follows, which undertaking shall be incorporated
by reference into Registrant's Registration Statements on Form S-8 Nos. 2-64258,
33-2039, 33-21393, 33-23333, 33-69040, 33-53565, 333-02219, 333-78631,
333-78633, 333-70758, 333-70772, 333-70766 and 333-70762. Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of
1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court
of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON FINANCIAL STATEMENT
SCHEDULE
The Board of Directors
The Pittston Company
Under date of February 10, 2003, we reported on the consolidated balance sheets
of The Pittston Company and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2002
and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive
loss, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 2002, as contained in the 2002 annual
report on Form 10-K. In connection with our audits of the aforementioned
consolidated financial statements, we also audited the related financial
statement schedule as included herein. This financial statement schedule is the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on this financial statement schedule based on our audits.
In our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation
to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents
fairly, in all material aspects, the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective
January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." Also as
discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company
changed its method of accounting for nonrefundable installation revenues and the
related direct costs of acquiring new subscribers in 2000 as a result of the
implementation of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements."

1.02 ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES.
---------------------
(a) Unless the context otherwise clearly requires, all accounting terms not
expressly defined herein shall be construed, and all financial computations
required under this Agreement shall be made, in accordance with GAAP,
consistently applied. All calculations made for the purposes of determining
compliance with this Agreement shall (except as otherwise expressly provided

statements referenced in Section 6.07); provided, however, if (a) the Guarantor
shall object to determining such compliance on such basis at the time of
delivery of such financial statements due to any change in GAAP or the rules
promulgated with respect thereto or (b) the Bank shall so object in writing
within 60 days after delivery of such financial statements, then such
calculations shall be made on a basis consistent with the most recent financial

ARTICLE II
LOANS
2.01 AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF COMMITMENT. The Bank agrees to make available to the
Borrowers (upon the request of BAX, in the case of the BAX Covered Subsidiaries,
or Brink's, in the case of the Brink's Covered Subsidiaries), from the Effective
Date until the Maturity Date or such earlier date on which the Bank terminates
the Commitment pursuant to Section 8.02(a) or BAX and Brink's terminate the
Commitment pursuant to Section 2.04(a) or such later date to which the Bank
agrees to extend the Commitment pursuant to Section 2.12 (the "Termination
Date"), committed funds in an aggregate amount of $35,000,000 (subject to
reduction pursuant to Section 2.04(a)), on the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement, as follows:
(a) The Commitment may be drawn upon for Loans or Letters of Credit
(collectively, "Advances") in Approved Currencies from the Effective Date until
the Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $35,000,000
(subject to reduction pursuant to Section 2.04(a)) at any time outstanding;
provided that: (1) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans
(after giving effect to any amount requested) shall not exceed the Commitment
minus the sum of all outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations.
(b) Commitment Unavailable to Certain Borrowers; Acceleration of such
Borrowers' Advances. If at any time while the Commitment is outstanding BAX or
Brink's ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Guarantor, any BAX Covered Subsidiary
ceases to be a Subsidiary of BAX or any Brink's Covered Subsidiary ceases to be
a Subsidiary of Brink's (each such Borrower a "Minority Owned Borrower"), then
and in each such event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (i) such
Borrower shall immediately, and without further act of the Bank, cease to be
permitted to draw upon the Commitment for any Advance, (ii) the unpaid principal
amount of all outstanding Loans and Reimbursement Obligations owed by such
Borrower, together with all interest and other amounts due the Bank with respect
thereto, shall automatically become due and payable without further act of the
Bank, (iii) such Borrower shall pay to the Bank an amount equal to the maximum
amount then available to be drawn under all Letters of Credit then outstanding
for the account of such Borrower, for deposit in a cash collateral account
maintained by the Bank, as security for such Letters of Credit, and (iv) upon
the Bank's receipt of full payment of the amounts contemplated by clauses (ii)
and (iii), such Borrower shall cease to be a Borrower hereunder or a party to
this Agreement.
(c) Documentation for Loans. Each Loan may be evidenced by (a) one or more
master promissory notes in form and substance acceptable to the
relevant Lending Office (each a "Note") or (b) by loan accounts
maintained by such Lending Office. The records attached as grids to the
Notes and the loan account and account records shall be conclusive
evidence, absent manifest error, of the amount of the Loans and the
interest and payments thereon. Any failure to record or any error in
doing so shall not, however, increase, limit or otherwise affect the
obligation hereunder of any Borrower to pay any amount owing with
respect to the Loans.
2.02 PROCEDURE FOR INCURRING LOANS. Each Loan shall be made upon the request of
a Borrower (and, in the case of a Borrower that is a BAX Covered Subsidiary, the
request of BAX, or, in the case of a Borrower that is a Brink's Covered
Subsidiary, the request of Brink's) to the Munich Office (which request must be
received by the Munich Office not later than 11:00 a.m. (Munich time)), unless
otherwise agreed by the Munich Office and such Lending Office, (a) on the
requested borrowing date, in the case of Base Rate Loans and Optional Rate Loans
to be funded to or in jurisdictions in the Munich Office's time zone and in time
zones following the Munich Office's time zone, (b) on the Business Day prior to
the requested borrowing date, in the case of Base Rate Loans and Optional Rate
Loans to be funded to or in jurisdictions in time zones ahead of the Munich
Office's time zone, and (c) three Business Days prior to the requested borrowing
date, in the case of LIBO Rate Loans), in a written notice in a form reasonably
satisfactory to the Munich Office specifying (i) the principal amount of the
Loan and whether it is to be denominated in Dollars or another Approved
Currency, (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii) whether the Loan is to be a Base Rate Loan, an Optional Rate Loan or a
LIBO Rate Loan; and (iv) if the requested Loan is a LIBO Rate Loan, the duration
of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan. If the notice of borrowing shall
fail to specify the duration of the Interest Period for any LIBO Rate Loan, such
Interest Period shall be one month. Each LIBO Rate Loan shall be in an amount of
not less than the Dollar Equivalent of $1,000,000. There shall be no minimum
amount for Optional Rate Loans and Base Rate Loans.
2.03 CONVERSION AND CONTINUATION ELECTIONS WITH RESPECT TO OUTSTANDING LOANS.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
(a) Any Borrower may upon irrevocable written notice to the Bank's Munich
Office and the applicable Lending Office in accordance with Section
2.03(b):
(i) elect to convert, on any Business Day, any Base Rate Loan made
to such Borrower into a LIBO Rate Loan or Optional Rate Loan;
or
(ii) elect to convert, on any Business Day, any Optional Rate Loan
made to such Borrower into a LIBO Rate Loan or Base Rate Loan;
or
(iii) elect to convert, on the last day of any Interest Period
therefor, any LIBO Rate Loan made to such Borrower into a Base
Rate Loan or Optional Rate Loan; or
(iv) elect, on the last day of the Interest Period with respect to
any LIBO Rate Loan made to such Person, to continue such Loan
as a LIBO Rate Loan denominated in the same currency for an
additional Interest Period.
(b) Any Borrower wishing to convert or continue a Loan as described in
Section 2.03(a) shall deliver by telex or fax, confirmed immediately in
writing, a notice of conversion or continuation (which notice must be
received by the Munich Office not later than 12:00 noon (Munich time),
unless otherwise agreed by such office) (i) on the date of conversion
of a LIBO Rate Loan into a Base Rate Loan or Optional Rate Loan, (ii)
three Business Days prior to the date of conversion of a LIBO Rate
Loan; and (iii) three Business Days prior to the date of continuation
of a LIBO Rate Loan, specifying:
(A) the proposed date of conversion or continuation;
(B) the aggregate principal amount of Loans to be converted or continued;
(C) the nature of the proposed conversion or continuation; and
(D) the duration of any requested Interest Period. If the
notice of conversion or continuation shall fail to
specify the duration of the Interest Period for any
LIBO Rate Loan, such Interest Period shall be one
month.
(c) During the existence of a Default or Event of Default, the Bank may
demand that any or all of the then-outstanding LIBO Rate Loans be
converted upon their expiration into Base Rate Loans. Such conversion
shall continue to be in effect so long as such Default or Event of
Default continues to exist.
2.04 TERMINATION OR REDUCTION OF THE COMMITMENT BY BAX AND BRINK'S.
-------------------------------------------------------------
(a) BAX and Brink's may, upon not less than three Business Days' prior
notice to the Bank and all other Borrowers then party hereto (i) terminate the
Commitment upon full prepayment of all outstanding Advances on the termination
date, or (ii) permanently reduce the Commitment to an amount not less than the
greater of (A) the Dollar Equivalent of the principal amount of all Advances to
remain outstanding on the reduction date and (B) $25,000,000. If the Commitment
is terminated in its entirety under this Section 2.04(a), the portion of the
Facility Fee accrued to, but not including, the effective date of such
termination shall be payable on the effective date of such termination without
any premium or penalty.
(b) For the purpose of ensuring compliance with the maximum amount
available under the Commitment, the Bank shall on each date of a voluntary
reduction of the Commitment under Section 2.04(a) and on the last Business Day
of each calendar quarter, determine the Dollar Equivalent of the principal
amount of all then-outstanding Advances.
2.05 OPTIONAL PREPAYMENTS. Subject to Section 4.04, any Borrower may, at any
time or from time to time, upon at least three Business Days' notice to the
Munich Office and the applicable Lending Office, prepay Loans made to it in
whole or in part. Such notice of prepayment shall specify the date and amount of
such prepayment and whether such prepayment is of Base Rate Loans, Optional Rate
Loans, LIBO Rate Loans or any combination thereof. No such notice shall be
revocable by any Borrower after being given. Once such notice is given by any
Borrower, such Borrower shall make such prepayment, and the payment amount
specified in such notice shall be due and payable, on the date specified
therein, together (only in the case of prepayments of LIBO Rate Loans) with
accrued interest to each such date on the amount prepaid and the amounts, if
any, required pursuant to Section 4.04.
2.06 REPAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL.
----------------------
(a) Each Borrower shall repay on the Termination Date the principal amount
of the Loans made to it that are then outstanding.
(b) In the event that the Bank determines, based on its computation made in
accordance with Section 2.04(b), that the Dollar Equivalent of the
then-outstanding Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations exceeds the Commitment,
the Bank shall give notice to the Guarantor and the Borrowers of such fact and
of the amount of such excess. Within 30 days after the date on which the
Borrowers receive such notice, they shall prepay Loans, or collateralize the
Letter of Credit Obligations with cash (as set forth below), in the aggregate
amount of such excess. Any such prepayment shall be made together with accrued
but unpaid interest on the principal amount thereof and, in the case of LIBO
Rate Loans, any amounts required to be paid in connection therewith pursuant to
Section 4.04. Any prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) shall be applied,
first, to any Base Rate Loans and Optional Rate Loans then outstanding, second,
to LIBO Rate Loans having Interest Periods ending on the date of such
prepayment, and third, to the extent that the amounts referred to in clauses
"first" and "second" are not sufficient to satisfy the entire prepayment
requirement under this Section 2.06(b) or there are no such Loans outstanding on
the date such prepayment would be required, then the remaining amount that would
be required to be prepaid under this Section 2.06(b) shall be deposited in a
cash collateral account maintained by the Bank, to be held as security for the
Obligations hereunder pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Bank and the Borrowers, and
to be applied to the prepayment of LIBO Rate Loans at the end of the respective
Interest Periods therefor and to the payment of Reimbursement Obligations as the
same become due.
2.07 INTEREST.
--------
(a) Subject to Section 2.07(c), each Loan funded by the Bank or any
Affiliate shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from
the date when made until it becomes due at a rate per annum equal to the LIBO
Rate, the Optional Rate or the Base Rate, as selected pursuant to Section 2.02,
plus the Applicable Percentage for Loans.
(b) Interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest
Payment Date. Interest shall also be payable on the date of any prepayment of
LIBO Rate Loans pursuant to Section 2.05 for the portion of such Loans so
prepaid and upon payment (including prepayment) in full of LIBO Rate Loans;
provided, however, that interest payable pursuant to Section 2.07(c) shall be
payable on demand.
(c) While there shall be any default hereunder in the payment of principal,
interest, fees or any other amount owing hereunder or after acceleration, each
Borrower shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon
to the extent permitted by law) on the principal amount of all Obligations of
such Person that are due and unpaid, at a rate per annum determined by adding 1%
per annum to the interest rate then in effect for the applicable type of Loan,
and, in the case of Obligations other than Loans, at a rate per annum equal to
the Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage for Loans plus 1%; provided,
however, that, with respect to any Obligation for which the payment of interest
has been determined by a Lending Office to be at a rate other than LIBO Rate,
the late payment rate shall be 1% per annum over such rate; and provided
further, that, on and after the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to
any LIBO Rate Loan outstanding on the date of occurrence of such Event of
Default or acceleration, the principal amount of such Loan shall, during the
continuation of such Event of Default or after acceleration, bear interest at a
rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage for Loans
plus 1%.
(d) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the
Borrowers hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest
shall not be required, for any period for which interest is computed hereunder,
to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such
payment by the relevant Lending Office would be contrary to the provisions of
any applicable law limiting the highest rate of interest which may be lawfully
contracted for, charged or received by the relevant Lending Office, and in such
event the Borrowers shall pay the relevant Lending Office interest at the
highest rate permitted by applicable law.
2.08 FEES.
----
(a) Facility Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Bank a facility fee in
Dollars in an amount equal to the product of (i)i the Applicable
Percentage for Facility Fee, times (ii)ii 25%, times (iii)iii the
Commitment, computed on a quarterly basis in arrears on the last
Business Day of each calendar quarter. Such Facility Fee shall accrue
from the Effective Date to the Termination Date and shall be due and
payable quarterly in arrears on the fifth Business Day following
receipt of an invoice from the Bank, with the final payment to be made
on the Termination Date.
(b) Letter of Credit Fees.
---------------------
(i) Each Borrower shall pay to the Bank a letter of credit fee
("L/C Fee") with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by
the Bank in an amount determined as follows:
(A) subject to clause (C) below, as to Performance
Letters of Credit, the Dollar Equivalent of the
average daily undrawn amount of such issued Letters
of Credit as reported by the Bank times the
Applicable Percentage for Performance Letters of
Credit then in effect;
(B) subject to clause (C) below, as to Financial Letters
of Credit, the Dollar Equivalent of the average daily
undrawn amount of such issued Letters of Credit as
reported by the Bank times the Applicable Percentage
for Financial Letters of Credit then in effect; and
(C) if the original face amount of a Letter of Credit
does not exceed $200,000, the L/C Fee will be
separately agreed upon by the Borrower and the Bank
or applicable Lending Office at the time such Letter
of Credit is issued.
Such fee shall accrue on such amount from the date of issuance
of each Letter of Credit (with such issuance date being deemed
to be the Effective Date in the case of the Outstanding LCs
that are to be continued hereunder as Performance Letters of
Credit or Financial Letters of Credit) until its expiration
date, taking into account any extensions of the expiration
date beyond the initial expiration date. Such fee shall be
payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar
quarter and on the date each Letter of Credit expires or is
fully drawn.
(ii) In addition to the letter of credit fees due the Bank
hereunder, each Borrower shall pay to any Lending Office
issuing a Letter of Credit (other than the Munich Office or
the New York Office) any standard amendment, negotiation or
other fees as such Lending Office may request at the time such
Letter of Credit is issued or amended.
(c) Arrangement Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Bank an initial
arrangement fee in the amount of $35,000 on the Effective Date.
2.09 COMPUTATION OF FEES AND INTEREST.
--------------------------------
(a) All computations of interest payable in respect of Base Rate Loans at
all times as the Base Rate is determined by the Bank's "reference" or
"prime" rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days,
as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of
fees and interest under this Agreement shall be made on the basis of a
360-day year and actual days elapsed. Interest and fees shall accrue
during each period during which interest or such fees are computed from
and including the first day thereof to but excluding the last day
thereof.
(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Bank pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the
Borrowers in the absence of manifest error.
2.10 PAYMENTS BY THE BORROWERS.
-------------------------
(a) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by any Borrower on
account of Obligations shall be made without set-off or counterclaim
and shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be made to
the relevant Lending Office, in the currency in which the relevant type
of Obligation was denominated and in immediately available funds, no
later than 3:00 p.m. (local time) unless otherwise agreed, on the date
specified herein. Any payment which is received by a Lending Office
later than 3:00 p.m. (local time) shall be deemed to have been received
on the immediately succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest
or fee shall continue to accrue.
(b) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other
than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included
in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be, subject to
the provisions set forth in the definition of "Interest Period" herein.
2.11 LENDING OFFICE. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
each Advance made for the account of any Borrower incorporated or otherwise
organized in the United States or any political subdivision thereof shall be
made by the Bank's New York Office, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties,
and each Advance made for the account of any Borrower incorporated or otherwise
organized in any foreign country shall be made by an Affiliate of the Bank
located in such country, if applicable, and otherwise as may be mutually agreed
upon by the Bank and such Borrower (the Bank's branch or office or such foreign
Affiliate, as the case may be, which is required to make a given Advance
hereunder is referred to as the "Lending Office" with respect to such Advance).
The Bank agrees to use its best efforts not to change the location of any
Lending Office or to transfer its interest in any Loan to an Assignee so as to
cause payments by any Borrower to be made to a Lending Office outside the
country in which such Borrower is incorporated or otherwise organized. If the
Bank intends to change the location of any such Lending Office and such change
would cause any Borrower to become liable to make payments to the Bank pursuant
to Article IV, such payments shall not be applicable unless the Bank has given
the Borrowers at least 30 days' prior notice of the change, unless the relevant
sections of Article IV provide for a different notice period.
2.12 EXTENSION OF THE TERMINATION DATE. BAX and Brink's, by notice to the Bank
and the other Borrowers then party hereto (an "Extension Request") at any time
not less than 90 days prior to the Termination Date then in effect, request that
such Termination Date be extended for successive one-year terms. If in its sole
discretion the Bank agrees to grant the Extension Request, the Bank shall so
notify Brink's and BAX within 30 days after the Bank's receipt of the Extension
Request, whereupon the Termination Date shall be extended for one year.
2.13 CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS JOINT AND SEVERAL. BAX shall be jointly and severally
liable with each of the BAX Covered Subsidiaries for all Obligations of such BAX
Covered Subsidiary. Brink's shall be jointly and severally liable with each of
the Brink's Covered Subsidiaries for all Obligations of such Brink's Covered
Subsidiary. Other than as set forth herein, no Borrower shall be liable for the
Obligations of any other Borrower.
ARTICLE III
LETTERS OF CREDIT
3.01 THE LETTERS OF CREDIT COMMITMENT.
--------------------------------
(a) Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or any other Approved Currency
may be issued under the Commitment for the following purposes: (i) "Financial
Letters of Credit" may be issued to any Person other than an Affiliate to secure
the payment by any Person of its financial obligations, or to provide counter or
"back-up" guarantees in support of bank guarantees, Letters of Credit or other
credit facilities afforded to a Borrower, or to support local currency
borrowings outside the United States, and (ii) "Performance Letters of Credit"
may be issued to secure the performance by any Person of its obligations, or to
guaranty or otherwise secure any Person's obligations relating to a bid, advance
payment or security deposit, retention release, custom and duty deferment
guaranty or bond, warranty or performance bond or other guaranty and shall
include Commercial Letters of Credit. No Lending Office shall be obligated to
issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (a) the sum
of the (i) aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Obligations plus (ii) the
aggregate principal amount of outstanding Loans would exceed the Commitment, or
any Performance Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, the
aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations allocable to the then outstanding
Performance Letters of Credit would exceed the Performance Letter of Credit
Sublimit, provided that for -------- purposes of determining the amount of
Letter of Credit Obligations under Performance Letters of Credit at any such
time, any portion of such amount that is denominated in an Approved Currency
shall be included in such amount as the Dollar Equivalent thereof at such time.
(b) No Lending Office shall be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit
hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Lending Office to
be in violation of, any Requirements of Law, including any prohibition of the
Foreign Assets Control regulations of the United States Treasury Department, or
after the Bank or any Lending Office has promptly notified the applicable
Borrower that it cannot, for any reason, issue a particular Letter of Credit.
3.02 TERMS OF THE LETTERS OF CREDIT.
------------------------------
(a) Performance Letters of Credit issued after the Effective Date shall not
have a term exceeding one year.
(b) No Letter of Credit may expire (including all rights of renewal) later
than the Termination Date, provided, however, that the Bank in its discretion
may elect to, and may elect to allow any other relevant Lending Office to, issue
Letters of Credit that expire after the relevant Termination Date, upon terms
and conditions acceptable to the Bank, including without limitation, cash
collateral provisions, it being understood and agreed that this Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect with respect to all such Letters of Credit until
they have expired and all related Letter of Credit Obligations have been paid in
full. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the applicable Borrower
will cash collateralize each Letter of Credit that remains outstanding and
undrawn as of the Termination Date by deposit of immediately available funds in
an amount equal to the undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit in a
non-interest-bearing account maintained with the Bank.
3.03 PROCEDURE FOR ISSUANCE OF THE LETTERS OF CREDIT.
-----------------------------------------------
(a) Each Letter of Credit to be issued after the Effective Date shall be
issued upon the request of a Borrower (and, in the case of a Borrower that is a
BAX Covered Subsidiary, the request of BAX, or, in the case of a Borrower that
is a Brink's Covered Subsidiary, the request of Brink's) received by the Bank's
Munich Office and any other relevant Lending Office not later than 12:00 noon
(local time), unless otherwise agreed by the Munich Office and the relevant
Lending Office, three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance.
Upon receipt of such request, the Bank and any other relevant Lending Office
will determine whether or not the issuance of such Letter of Credit would be
permitted pursuant to Section 3.01.
(b) Each request for issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be made in
writing by fax and confirmed by delivery of the original executed Letter of
Credit Application and Agreement, in the Bank's standard form or a similar form
if the relevant Lending Office uses a different form (each, an "L/C
Application"), not later than one (1) Business Day thereafter. Each request for
issuance of a Letter of Credit and each L/C Application shall specify, among
other things: (i) the proposed date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day);
(ii) the face amount of the Letter of Credit; (iii) the date of expiration of
the Letter of Credit; (iv) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (v)
the documents to be presented by the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit in case
of any drawing thereunder; (vi) the full text of any certificate to be presented
by the beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (vii) whether the
Letter of Credit is a Financial Letter of Credit or a Performance
Letter of Credit.
(c) Any request for an amendment to any previously-issued Letter of Credit
shall be received by the Bank and any Lending Office which issued the Letter of
Credit not later than 12:00 noon (local time), unless otherwise agreed by the
Bank and any such other Lending Office, two (2) Business Days prior to the date
of the proposed amendment in writing by fax. Each written request for an
amendment to a previously-issued Letter of Credit made by fax shall be in the
form of the relevant L/C Application signed by the relevant Borrower and, unless
otherwise agreed by the Munich Office and any Lending Office which issued the
Letter of Credit in accordance with the last sentence of Section 3.02(b), shall
not request an extension beyond the relevant Termination Date described in said
Section. Amendments and extensions shall be at the sole discretion of the Munich
Office and any Lending Office which issued the Letter of Credit.
(d) Notwithstanding any provision of any L/C Application to the contrary,
in the event of any conflict between the terms of any such L/C Application and
the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control with
respect to payment obligations, events of default, representations and
warranties, and covenants, except that such L/C Application may provide for
further warranties relating specifically to the transaction or affairs
underlying such Letter of Credit.
3.04 DRAWINGS AND REIMBURSEMENTS. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably agrees to reimburse the relevant Lending Office for each payment
made by such Lending Office under any Letter of Credit issued for the account of
such Borrower. Such reimbursement shall be due and payable on the date the
relevant Lending Office makes such payment under such Letter of Credit. If such
reimbursement payment is not made when due, the amount thereof shall bear
interest from the date such reimbursement payment became due to the date the
relevant Lending Office is reimbursed therefor at a rate per annum equal to the
Base Rate plus 1% per annum or, with respect to any Reimbursement Obligation
denominated in a currency other than Dollars or euros, such other rate per annum
as is determined by the issuing Lending Office to be due pursuant to the
relevant L/C Related Documents, in all cases as permitted by applicable laws.
Such interest shall be payable on demand.
3.05 REIMBURSEMENT OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE. The obligations of the Borrowers to
reimburse the relevant Lending Office for payments made by such Lending Office
under any Letter of Credit honoring a demand for payment by the beneficiary
thereunder shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional under any and all
circumstances, including the following circumstances:
(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Letter of
Credit, any L/C Application or any other agreement or instrument
relating thereto (collectively, the "L/C Related Documents");
(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other
term of, all or any of the obligations of any Borrower in respect of
any Letter of Credit or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent
to or departure from all or any of the L/C Related Documents;
(c) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that any
Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee
of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or
any such transferee may be acting), the Bank, any Lending Office or any
other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the
transactions contemplated by the L/C Related Documents or any unrelated
transaction;
(d) any draft, certificate, statement or other document presented under any
Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or
insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or
inaccurate in any respect other than if such payment resulted from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the relevant Lending Office;
(e) payment by the relevant Lending Office under any Letter of Credit
against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not comply
with the terms of the Letter of Credit other than if such payment
resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
relevant Lending Office;
(f) any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from
any guaranty, for all or any of the obligations of any Borrower in
respect of any Letter of Credit; or
(g) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar
to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might
otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any
Borrower or any account party other than a circumstance constituting a
breach of this Agreement by or the gross negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of the relevant Lending Office.
ARTICLE IV

(a) Payments made hereunder and under any instrument executed hereunder
shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction for, any and all present
or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, withholding and similar
charges ("Taxes") excluding, in the case of the Bank, each Lending Office and
each Assignee, Taxes (including franchise or receipts taxes) imposed on or in
respect of its net income, capital, or receipts, by the jurisdiction (or any
political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which the Bank or such Lending
Office or Assignee (as the case may be) (A) is organized, (B) has its principal
place of business, or (C) is, through an office or other fixed place of
business, deemed to be doing business or maintaining a permanent establishment
under any applicable income tax treaty (such non-excluded Taxes being
"Withholding Taxes"). If any Borrower or Guarantor shall be required by law to
deduct any Withholding Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or
under any instrument executed hereunder, such Borrower or Guarantor:
(i) shall pay to the Bank, Lending Office or Assignee an
additional amount so that the net amount received and retained
by the Bank, Lending Office or Assignee after taking into
account such Withholding Taxes (and any additional Withholding
Taxes payable on account of any additional payment called for
by this sentence) will equal the full amount which would have
been received and retained by the Bank, Lending Office or
Assignee as if no such Withholding Taxes been paid, deducted,
or withheld;
(ii) shall make such deductions for Withholding Taxes; and
(iii) shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing
authority or other authority in accordance with applicable
law.
(b) Borrower shall indemnify the Bank, Lending Office or Assignee (as the
case may be) for (i) the full amount of any Withholding Taxes (including
interest and penalties thereon) that the Bank, Lending Office or Assignee
becomes liable for as a result of a Borrower's or Guarantor's failure to pay
such Withholding Taxes pursuant to Section 4.01 or applicable law.
(c) Each Borrower will furnish the Bank, Lending Office or Assignee
original Withholding Tax receipts, notarized copies of Withholding Tax receipts
or such other appropriate documentation as will prove payment of tax in a court
of law applying U.S. Federal Rules of Evidence for all Taxes paid by such
Borrower pursuant to Section 4.01(a). The relevant Borrower will deliver such
receipts within a reasonable period after payment of any Withholding Taxes, but
in no event later than 60 days after the due date for the related Withholding
Tax.
(d) If the Bank, Lending Office or Assignee is entitled to a refund or
credit of Withholding Tax, it shall use reasonable efforts to pursue such refund
(and interest with respect thereto), and if it receives such refund or credit,
shall pay to the relevant Borrower the amount of the refund or credit (and
interest with respect thereto) actually received.
(e) The Bank, Lending Office or Assignee shall use reasonable efforts
(consistent with its internal policies and legal and regulatory restrictions) to
change the jurisdiction of its relevant Lending Office if such change would
avoid or reduce any Withholding Tax; provided that no such change of
jurisdiction shall be made if, in the reasonable judgment of the Bank, such
Lending Office or such Assignee, such change would be disadvantageous to the
Bank, such Lending Office or such Assignee, as the case may be.
(f) The Bank or its Affiliate, Lending Office or Assignee agrees that it
will deliver to the Guarantor or the Borrowers, within 30 days after the
execution of this Agreement (unless theretofore so delivered) and as may be
reasonably required from time to time by applicable law or regulation, United
States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN and/or W-8ECI (or successor Forms)
or such other form, if any, as from time to time may permit the Guarantor or the
Borrowers to demonstrate that payments made by the Guarantor or the Borrowers to
the Bank or its Affiliate, Lending Office or Assignee under this Agreement
either are exempt from United States Federal Withholding Taxes or are payable at
a reduced rate (if any) specified in any applicable tax treaty or convention.
4.02 ILLEGALITY.
----------
(a) If the Bank shall determine that the introduction of any Requirement of
Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation
or administration thereof, has made it unlawful, or that any central
bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful,
for the Bank or any other relevant Lending Office to make LIBO Rate
Loans or to issue Letters of Credit, then, on notice thereof by the
Bank to the Borrowers, the obligation of the Bank to make LIBO Rate
Loans or to issue Letters of Credit, as the case may be, shall be
suspended until the Bank shall have notified the Borrowers that the
circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.
(b) If the Bank shall determine that it is unlawful to maintain any LIBO
Rate Loan, the affected Borrowers shall prepay in full all LIBO Rate
Loans then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon, either
on the last day of the Interest Period thereof if the Bank may lawfully
continue to maintain such LIBO Rate Loans to such day, or immediately,
if the Bank may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBO Rate Loans,
together with any amounts required to be paid in connection therewith
pursuant to Section 4.04.
(c) The Bank shall immediately notify the Borrowers of any event described
in (a) or (b) above.
4.03 INCREASED COSTS AND REDUCTION OF RETURN; ADDITIONAL INTEREST ON LIBO
RATE LOANS.
(a) If the Bank shall determine that, due to either (i) the introduction of
any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the
interpretation or administration thereof or (ii) the compliance with any
guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority
(whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the
cost to the Bank or any Lending Office of agreeing to make or making, funding or
maintaining any LIBO Rate Loans, then the relevant Borrowers shall be liable
for, and shall from time to time, upon written request therefor by the Bank, pay
to the Bank additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate the Bank or such
Lending Office for such increased costs.
(b) If the Bank shall have determined that (i) the introduction of any
Capital Adequacy Regulation, (ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation,
(iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy
Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or (iv) compliance by the Bank (or
other relevant Lending Office) or any corporation controlling the Bank, with any
Capital Adequacy Regulation affects or would affect the amount of capital
required or expected to be maintained by the Bank, any Lending Office or any
corporation controlling the Bank and (taking into consideration the Bank's and
such controlling corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy and the
Bank's desired return on capital) and determines that the amount of such capital
is increased as a consequence of Advances under this Agreement, then, upon
written request of the Bank, the Borrowers shall immediately pay to the Bank or
the relevant Lending Office, from time to time as specified by the Bank,
additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Bank or such Lending Office for
such increase.
(c) Each Borrower shall pay to the Bank, as long as the Bank shall be
required under Federal Reserve Board regulations to maintain reserves with
respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds
or deposits (currently known as "Eurocurrency liabilities"), additional costs on
the unpaid principal amount of all LIBO Rate Loans made by the Bank to such
Borrower equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to each such Loan
by the Bank (as determined by the Bank in good faith, which determination shall
be conclusive absent manifest error), payable on each Interest Payment Date with
respect to each such Loan, provided that such Borrower shall have received at
least 15 days' prior -------- written notice of such additional costs from the
Bank. If the Bank fails to give notice 15 days prior to the relevant Interest
Payment Date, such additional interest shall accrue and be payable 15 days from
receipt of such notice.
(d) The Bank will notify each Borrower of any event occurring after the
date hereof which will entitle the Bank or any Lending Office to compensation
from such Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.03 as promptly as practicable
after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation,
and will designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the
need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation. If the Bank requests
compensation under this Section 4.03, the relevant Borrowers may, by notice to
the Bank, require that: (x) the Bank furnish to the relevant Borrowers a
statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the
method for determining the amount thereof or (y) the Loans of the type with
respect to which such compensation is requested be either prepaid or converted
into another type.
4.04 FUNDING LOSSES. Each Borrower agrees to reimburse the Bank and to hold
the Bank and any relevant Lending Office harmless from any loss or expense which
the Bank may sustain or incur as a consequence of:
(a) the failure by such Borrower to make any payment or prepayment of
principal of any LIBO Rate Loan when due (including payments made after
any acceleration thereof);
(b) the failure by such Borrower to borrow, continue or convert a Loan
after such Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a notice of
borrowing or a notice of conversion or continuation;
(c) the failure by such Borrower to make any prepayment after such
Borrower has given a notice in accordance with Section 2.05;
(d) the prepayment of a LIBO Rate Loan on a day which is not the last
day of the Interest Period with respect thereto; or
(e) the conversion pursuant to Section 2.03 of any LIBO Rate Loan to a Base
Rate Loan or Optional Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of
the Interest Period with respect to the LIBO Rate Loan;
including any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment
of funds obtained by any Lending Office to maintain its LIBO Rate Loans
hereunder or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds
were obtained.
4.05 INABILITY TO DETERMINE RATES. If the Bank shall have determined that for
any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO
Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a LIBO Rate Loan or that
the LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect thereto does not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Bank or any relevant Lending
Office of funding such Loan, the Bank will forthwith give notice of such
determination to the relevant Borrowers. Thereafter, the obligation of the Bank
or any relevant Lending Office to make or continue LIBO Rate Loans or to convert
Base Rate Loans or Optional Rate Loans to LIBO Rate Loans hereunder, as the case
may be, shall be suspended until the Bank revokes such notice in writing. Upon
receipt of such notice, the relevant Borrower may revoke any notice of borrowing
or notice of conversion or continuation then submitted by it. If the relevant
Borrower does not revoke such notice with respect to a LIBO Rate Loan, the Bank
shall make, convert or continue the Loan, as proposed by such Borrower, in the
amount specified in the applicable notice submitted by such Borrower, but such
Loan shall be made, converted or continued as a Base Rate Loan instead of a LIBO
Rate Loan.
4.06 CERTIFICATE OF THE BANK. If claiming reimbursement or compensation pursuant
to this Article IV, the Bank shall deliver to each relevant Borrower a
certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to the Bank or
any relevant Lending Office hereunder, and such certificate shall be conclusive
and binding on each recipient Borrower in the absence of manifest error.
4.07 SURVIVAL. The agreements and obligations of the Borrowers in this
Article IV shall survive the payment of all other Obligations.

ARTICLE VI
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Each Borrower, and, to the extent set forth below, the Guarantor,
represents and warrants to the Bank, for its benefit and for the benefit of all
Lending Offices, as follows:
6.01 CORPORATE EXISTENCE. Such Borrower is duly organized, validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and (i) has
the requisite power and authority to own its property and assets and to carry on
its business as now conducted and (ii) is qualified to do business in every
jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except where the failure so
to qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Such Borrower has the
corporate power to execute and deliver and to perform its obligations under the
Loan Documents to which it is party and to borrow hereunder.
6.02 NON-CONTRAVENTION. The execution, delivery and performance by such Borrower
of the Loan Documents to which it is party have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action and do not and will not (i) require any consent or
approval of the shareholders of the Borrower, (ii) violate any provision of any
law, rule, regulation (including, without limitation, Regulation T, U or X of
the Federal Reserve Board), order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree,
determination, or award presently in effect having applicability to the Borrower
or of the charter or by-laws of the Borrower, (iii) result in a material breach
of or constitute a material default under any indenture or loan or credit
agreement or any other agreement, lease, or instrument to which such Borrower is
a party or by which it or its properties may be bound or affected, or (iv)
result in the creation of an Encumbrance of any nature upon or with respect to
any of the properties now owned or hereafter acquired by such Borrower; and such
Borrower is not in default under any such order, writ, judgment, injunction,
decree, determination, or award or any such indenture, agreement, lease, or
instrument or in default under any such law, rule, or regulation, which default
would have a Material Adverse Effect.
6.03 NO CONSENT. No authorization, consent, approval, license, exemption of, or
filing or registration with, or any other action in respect of any Governmental
Authority is or will be necessary for the valid execution, delivery or
performance by such Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is party.
6.04 BINDING OBLIGATIONS. Each of the Loan Documents to which such Borrower is
party constitute legal, valid, and binding obligations of such Borrower
enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with their respective terms,
except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally or by
equitable principles relating to enforceability.
6.05 TITLE TO PROPERTIES. Such Borrower has good and marketable title to all of
the material assets and properties purported to be owned by it, free and clear
of all liens except those liens permitted by the Guarantor Credit Agreement.
6.06 SUBSIDIARIES. Each BAX Covered Subsidiary is a Subsidiary of BAX, each
Brink's Covered Subsidiary is a Subsidiary of Brink's, and all of such Covered
Subsidiaries' shares which are owned, directly or indirectly, by BAX or Brink's
have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable
and are free and clear of any Encumbrance. The Guarantor represents and warrants
that Pittston Minerals Group Inc., a Virginia corporation, and its Subsidiaries,
Pittston Coal Company, a Virginia corporation, and Pittston Mineral Ventures
Company, a Delaware corporation, and their respective Subsidiaries, are not
direct or indirect Subsidiaries of BAX or Brink's and may not at any time become
Covered Subsidiaries.
6.07 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The Guarantor hereby represents and warrants
that:
(a) The consolidated balance sheet of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries as
at December 31, 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended, certified by KPMG
LLP, independent public accountants, copies of which will be delivered to the
Bank on or prior to the Effective Date, fairly present in all material respects
the consolidated financial condition of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries as at
such date and the consolidated results of their operations for the year then
ended, all prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis.
(b) The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Guarantor and its
Subsidiaries as at June 30, 2002, the related unaudited consolidated statement
of operations of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal quarter year
then ended, and the related unaudited consolidated statement of cash flows of
the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal quarter then ended, copies of
which will be delivered to the Bank on or prior to the Effective Date, fairly
present in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of the
Guarantor and its Subsidiaries as at such date and their consolidated results of
operations for the quarter then ended, all prepared in accordance with GAAP
(except for the omission of notes and subject to year-end adjustments) applied
on a consistent basis; and there has been no material adverse change in such
condition or operations since June 30, 2002 that has had a Material Adverse
Effect.
6.08 LITIGATION. Except as otherwise disclosed in writing to the Bank, including
through the delivery to the Bank of copies of reports and statements filed by
the Guarantor with the Securities and Exchange Commission, there are no actions,
suits, or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened
against or affecting the Borrower or the properties of such Borrower before any
Governmental Authority or arbitrator that would have a Material Adverse Effect,
and such Borrower is not in default (in any respect which would have a Material
Adverse Effect) with respect to any law, rule, regulation, order, writ,
judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award presently in effect and
applicable to such Borrower.
6.09 TAXES. Each Borrower and the Guarantor has filed all material tax returns
(federal, state, and local) required to be filed and paid all taxes shown
thereon to be due, including interest and penalties, or provided adequate
reserves, in accordance with GAAP, for the payment thereof.
6.10 ERISA. Each Plan has complied with and has been administered in all
material respects in accordance with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the
Code. No Plan has terminated under circumstances giving rise to liability of the
Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate to the PBGC under Section 4062, 4063 or 4064 of
ERISA, which liability remains unpaid in whole or in part, and no lien under
Section 4068 of ERISA exists with respect to the assets of the Borrower or any
ERISA Affiliate. No Reportable Event has occurred with respect to any Plan,
except for Reportable Events previously disclosed in writing to the Bank that
would not have a Material Adverse Effect. No accumulated funding deficiency
within the meaning of Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code (whether
or not waived) exists with respect to any Plan, nor does any lien under Section
302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code exist with respect to any Plan.
Neither such Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has completely or
partially withdrawn from any one or more Multiemployer Plans under circumstances
which would give rise to withdrawal liability which, in the aggregate, could
have a Material Adverse Effect and which has not been fully paid as of the date
hereof. Neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has received notice that
any Multiemployer Plan is in reorganization (within the meaning of Section 4241
of ERISA), is insolvent (within the meaning of Section 4245 of ERISA), or has
terminated under Title IV of ERISA, nor, to the best knowledge of the Borrower,
is any such reorganization, insolvency or termination reasonably likely to
occur, where such reorganization, insolvency or termination has resulted or can
reasonably be expected to result in an increase in the contributions required to
be made to such Multiemployer Plan in an amount that would have a Material
Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has failed to make
any contribution to a Multiemployer Plan which is required under ERISA or an
applicable collective bargaining agreement in an amount which is material in the
aggregate (except to the extent there is a good faith dispute as to whether any
contribution is owed, the amount owed or the existence of facts that would give
rise to a withdrawal).
6.11 NO DEFAULT. Each Borrower and the Guarantor represent and warrant that
no Default and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
6.12 FEDERAL RESERVE REGULATIONS.
---------------------------
(a) The Borrower is not engaged principally, or as one of its important
activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying Margin Stock.
(b) No part of the proceeds of any Advances will be used, whether directly
or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, for
any purpose which entails a violation of, or which is inconsistent
with, the provisions of the Regulations promulgated by the Federal
Reserve Board, including, without limitation, Regulations T, U or X.
6.13 INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT. None of the Borrowers nor the Guarantor is an
"investment company" as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the
Investment Company Act of 1940.
6.14 ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. In the ordinary course of its business, the
Guarantor conducts an ongoing review of the effect of Environmental Laws and
laws relating to occupational safety and health on the business, operations and
properties of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, in the course of which it
identifies and evaluates associated liabilities and costs (including any capital
or operating expenditures required for clean-up, closure or restoration of
properties presently or previously owned, any capital or operating expenditures
required to achieve or maintain compliance with environmental protection and
occupational health and safety standards imposed by law or as a condition of any
license, permit or contact, any related constraints on operating activities,
including any periodic or permanent shutdown of any facility or reduction in the
level of or change in the nature of operations conducted thereat and any actual
or potential liabilities to third parties, including employees, and any related
costs and expenses). On the basis of this review, each Borrower and the
Guarantor represents and warrants that applicable Environmental Laws and laws
relating to occupational health and safety do not have a Material Adverse
Effect, and it has obtained and holds all material permits, licenses and
approvals required under Environmental Laws which are necessary for the conduct
of its business and the operation of its facilities, and it has not received any
written notice of any failure to be in compliance with the terms and conditions
of such permits, licenses and approvals, which failure could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
6.15 PRIORITY OF DEBT. Each Borrower and the Guarantor hereby represents and
warrants that all Debt created under this Agreement for which it is or may be
liable ranks pari passu with the Debt outstanding under the Guarantor Credit
Agreement.
6.16 ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS OF INFORMATION. The financial statements
referenced in Section 6.07, the financial statements to be provided pursuant to
Section 7.04 and the written information with respect to the Guarantor and the
Borrowers contained in this Agreement, taken as a whole, do not contain any
material misstatement of fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which such
statements were then made, not misleading.
ARTICLE VII
COVENANTS
7.01 POST-EFFECTIVE DATE TRANSACTIONS. Within 60 days after the Effective Date
each BAX Covered Subsidiary that is a Borrower hereunder as of the Effective
Date, each Brink's Covered Subsidiary that is a Borrower hereunder as of the
Effective Date, and each other Covered Subsidiary that may be a Borrower
hereunder when such documents are delivered, shall furnish to the Bank documents
of the type listed in Sections 5.01(b) and (c) or similar constitutive
documents. Each such Brink's Covered Subsidiary is a Subsidiary of both Brink's

the Bank that each of the Representations and Warranties contained in Article VI
which would, by their terms, apply to a Covered Subsidiary are true and correct
with respect to such Brink's Covered Subsidiaries. In addition, the Company and

such other reasonable action, if any, as the Bank deems advisable, to enable the
Bank, as so secured, to enforce its rights hereunder and under the Guaranty.

a solvent corporation organized under the laws of a state of the United States
of America which expressly assumes in writing the due and punctual payment and
performance of the obligations of the Guarantor under the Guaranty;
(y) if any properties or assets of the Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary
would thereupon become subject to an Encumbrance other than those described in
Section 7.03(i)(A) through (N), inclusive, the obligations of the Guarantor
under the Guaranty hereunder shall have been equally and ratably secured with
(or, at the option of the Guarantor, in priority to) any Debt secured by the
Encumbrance on such properties and assets, and the last paragraph of Section
7.03(i) shall be applicable thereto; and
(z) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
Provided that the conditions of this Section 7.03(ii) are met, none of the
foregoing shall be deemed to prohibit the Guarantor and/or its Subsidiaries from
selling, transferring, assigning or otherwise disposing of Margin Stock for fair
market value or selling, contributing, financing or otherwise conveying or
pledging assets in connection with any asset securitization program permitted by
Section 7.03(i)(J).

Subsidiary) material to any Borrower or the Guarantor on terms more favorable to
such affiliated Person than would have been obtainable in arm's-length dealing.

fiscal quarter of the Guarantor, to be calculated as at the end of such quarter,

violating or being inconsistent with Regulations T, U or X promulgated by the
Federal Reserve Board, including, Section 221.3(f) of said Regulation U.

purpose of speculation and not for the purpose of hedging risks associated with
the businesses of the Guarantor, the Borrowers and the Guarantor's other
Subsidiaries.
(viii) ERISA.
(A) Terminate any Plan under circumstances which would
reasonably result in a material liability of the
Guarantor, any Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate to the
PBGC, or permit to exist the occurrence of any
Reportable Event or any other event or condition
which presents a material risk of such a termination
by the PBGC;
(B) engage, or permit any Plan to engage, in a
"prohibited transaction" (within the meaning of
Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code)
that would reasonably result in material liability of
the Guarantor, any Borrower or any of the Guarantor's
other Restricted Subsidiaries;
(C) fail to make any contribution to a Multiemployer Plan
which is required by ERISA or an applicable
collective bargaining agreement in an amount which is
material (except to the extent there is a good faith
dispute as to whether any contribution is owed, the
amount owed or the existence of facts that would give
rise to a withdrawal);
(D) completely or partially withdraw from a Multiemployer
Plan, if such complete or partial withdrawal would
result in any material withdrawal liability under
Title IV of ERISA; or
(E) enter into any new Plan or modify any existing Plan
so as to increase its obligations thereunder which
could result in any material liability to the
Guarantor or any ERISA Affiliate.
For purposes of this Section 7.03(viii), an amount is material
if it would have a Material Adverse Effect, and the
materiality of any amount described in this Section 7.03(viii)
shall be determined after aggregation with all other
liabilities described in this Section 7.03(viii).

9.04 COSTS AND EXPENSES. The Borrowers shall, whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated:
(a) pay or reimburse the Bank within five Business Days after demand (or on
the Effective Date to the extent provided in Section 5.01(g)) for all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Bank in connection with
the delivery and administration of, and any amendment, supplement,
waiver or modification to, this Agreement, any other Loan Document and
any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby,
including reasonable counsel fees, incurred by the Bank with respect
thereto; and
(b) pay or reimburse the Bank within five Business Days after demand for
all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with the
enforcement, attempted enforcement, or preservation of any rights or
remedies (including in connection with any "workout" or restructuring
regarding the Obligations) under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, including reasonable counsel fees (including the allocated
cost of staff counsel) incurred by the Bank.
9.05 INDEMNITIES. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall
be consummated:(a) The Borrowers shall pay, indemnify, and hold the
Bank and each of its officers, directors, employees, counsel, agents and
attorneys-in-fact (each, an "Indemnified Person") harmless from and against any
and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses or disbursements (including
reasonable counsel fees, including the allocated cost of staff counsel) of any
kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement,
performance and administration of this Agreement and any other Loan Document, or
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and with respect to any
investigation, litigation or proceeding related to this Agreement, the Loans or
the Letters of Credit, or the use of the proceeds thereof, whether or not any
Indemnified Person is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the
"Indemnified Liabilities"); provided, no Borrower shall have any obligation
hereunder to any Indemnified Person with respect to Indemnified Liabilities
arising from the breach of this Agreement by or the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnified Person.
(b) The obligations in this Section 9.05 shall survive payment of all other
Obligations. At the election of the Borrowers, one or more Borrowers shall
defend such Indemnified Person using legal counsel satisfactory to such
Indemnified Person in such Person's sole discretion, at the sole cost and
expense of the Borrowers; provided, further that no Borrower may settle any
Indemnified Liability without the Bank's consent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed). All amounts owing under this Section 9.05
shall be paid within 30 days after demand.
(c) If any sum due from a Borrower under this Agreement or another Loan
Document or under any order or judgment given or made in relation hereto or
thereto has to be converted from the currency (the "first currency") in which
the same is payable hereunder or thereunder or under such order or judgment into
another currency (the "second currency") for the purpose of (i) making or filing
a claim or proof against such Borrower with any Governmental Authority or in any
court or tribunal or (ii) enforcing any order or judgment given or made in
relation hereto, such Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the
Persons to whom such sum is due from and against any loss actually suffered as a
result of any discrepancy between (a) the rate of exchange used to convert the
amount in question from the first currency into the second currency and (b) the
rate or rates of exchange at which such Person, acting in good faith in a
commercially reasonable manner, purchased the first currency with the second
currency after receipt of a sum paid to it in the second currency in
satisfaction, in whole or in part, of any such order, judgment, claim or proof.
The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate obligation of each Borrower
distinct from its other obligations hereunder and shall survive the giving or
making of any judgment or order in relation to all or any of such other
obligations.
9.06 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns, except that no Borrower nor the Guarantor may assign or
transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior
written consent of the Bank and any assignment by the Bank must be in compliance
with Section 9.07.
9.07 ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS. The Bank, with the prior written consent of
the Guarantor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, may
at any time assign and delegate to one or more Persons (each an "Assignee") all,
or any ratable part of all, of the Advances, the Commitment and the other rights
and obligations of the Bank hereunder; provided, however, that no consent shall
be required for an assignment (i) to an affiliate of the Bank or any approved
Assignee or (ii) during the existence of an Event of Default under Section
8.01(a), (f) or (g); and provided further, that the Borrowers may continue to
deal solely and directly with the Bank in connection with the interest so
assigned to an Assignee until written notice of such assignment, together with
payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the
Assignee, shall have been given to the Borrowers by the Bank and the Assignee.
The Bank and any Assignee may, without the consent of the Guarantor or any Bank,
sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a "Participant") in
all or a portion of the Bank's or Assignee's rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of the Commitment and the Advances owing
to it); provided that (i) the Bank's or Assignee's obligations (including,
without limitation, the Commitment) under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
(ii) the Bank or Assignee shall remain solely responsible to the other parties
hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers and the
Guarantor shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Bank or Assignee
in connection with the Bank's or Assignee's rights and obligations under this
Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which the Bank or an Assignee sells such a
participation shall provide that the Bank or such Assignee shall retain the sole
right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement. Subject to the next sentence of this
Section, the Guarantor and the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be
entitled to the benefits and subject to the requirements of Article IV and
Sections 9.04 and 9.05 to the same extent as if it were the Bank or an Assignee
and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to this Section. No
Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Article IV or
Section 9.04 or 9.05 than the Bank or applicable Assignee would have been
entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant,
unless the Guarantor specifically consents to such right.
9.08 CONFIDENTIALITY. The Bank agrees to take normal and reasonable precautions
and exercise due care to maintain the confidentiality of all non-public
information provided to it by the Guarantor, any Borrower or any of their
respective Subsidiaries, in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, and neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall use any such
information for any purpose or in any manner other than pursuant to the terms
contemplated by this Agreement, except to the extent such information (i) was or
becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure
by the Bank, or (ii) was or becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a
source other than the Guarantor or a Borrower, provided that such source is not
bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Guarantor or such Borrower to the
knowledge of the Bank; provided further, however that the Bank may disclose such
information (A) at the request or pursuant to any requirement of any
Governmental Authority to which the Bank is subject or in connection with an
examination of the Bank by any such authority; (B) pursuant to subpoena or other
court process; (C) when required to do so in accordance with the provisions of
any applicable Requirement of Law; and (D) to the Bank's independent auditors
and other professional advisors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers
and the Guarantor authorize the Bank to disclose to any Assignee, and to any
prospective Assignee, such financial and other information in the Bank's
possession concerning the Guarantor, the Borrowers or their respective
Subsidiaries which has been delivered to the Bank pursuant to this Agreement or
which has been delivered to the Bank by the Guarantor, a Borrower, or any of
their respective Subsidiaries in connection with the Bank's credit evaluation of
the Guarantor and the Borrowers prior to entering into, or upon review or
renewal of, this Agreement; provided that, unless otherwise agreed by the
Guarantor and the Borrowers, such Assignee or prospective Assignee agrees in
writing to the Bank to keep such information confidential to the same extent
required of the Bank hereunder.
9.09 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties
to this Agreement in any number of separate counterparts, each of which, when so
executed, shall be deemed an original, and all of said counterparts taken
together shall be deemed to constitute but one and the same instrument.
9.10 SEVERABILITY. The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this
Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder shall not in any way
affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of
this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder.

GUARANTY
GUARANTY, dated as of November 12, 2002 made by THE PITTSTON COMPANY, a Virginia
corporation (the "Guarantor"), in favor of BAYERISCHE HYPO- UND VEREINSBANK AG
(the "Bank"), and each Assignee under the Credit Agreement referred to below
(collectively, the "Lenders").
W I T N E S S E T H :
WHEREAS, the Bank is willing, subject to the conclusion of satisfactory
documentation and the satisfaction of other conditions, to extend credit, and to
facilitate the extension of credit by certain of the Bank's foreign lending
offices (as Lending Offices), from time to time to BAX Global Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("BAX") and Brink's, Incorporated, a Delaware corporation
("Brink's"), subsidiaries of the Guarantor, and to certain subsidiaries of BAX
and Brink's which are now or later become parties to the Credit Agreement dated
as of November 12, 2002, among BAX, BRINK'S, BRINK'S DEUTSCHLAND GMBH, a German
limited liability company, BRINK'S BETEILIGUNGSGESELLSCHAFT MBH, a German
limited liability company, BRINK'S DIAMOND & JEWELRY SERVICE NV, a Belgium
corporation, BRINK'S NEDERLAND B.V., a Dutch corporation, and BRINK'S AUSTRALIA
PTY LTD., an Australian corporation and the Covered Subsidiaries that become
parties thereto from time to time as Borrowers, the Guarantor, the Bank and the
other financial institutions that become parties from time to time thereto as
Assignees, as the same may be amended from time to time thereafter (the "Credit
Agreement"); and it is a condition precedent to the extension of credit from
time to time to the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement that the Guarantor
shall have executed and delivered and keep in full force and effect this
Guaranty.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and to induce the Bank and its
Lending Offices to extend credit from time to time to the Borrowers under the
Credit Agreement, the Guarantor hereby agrees with the Bank as follows:
1. DEFINED TERMS. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein
-------------
shall have the same meaning given to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
2. GUARANTY. The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably
guarantees to the Lenders the prompt and complete payment in full and
performance by the Borrowers when due (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations in the currency or currencies in
which the Obligations are denominated from time to time. The Guarantor further
agrees to pay any and all expenses, including, without limitation, all
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including, without limitation,
allocated costs of staff counsel) which may be paid or incurred by the Lenders
in enforcing and preserving any of their respective rights under this Guaranty
and such as may be incurred by the Bank in connection with the preparation,
negotiation, execution, delivery and administration hereof. This Guaranty shall
remain in full force and effect until the Obligations are paid in full and the
Commitment is terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time prior thereto
any Borrowers may have been free from any Obligations.
The Guarantor agrees that whenever, at any time, or from time to time, it shall
make any payment to the Bank or any Lending Office on account of its liability
hereunder, it will notify the Bank and such relevant Lending Office in writing
that such payment is made under this Guaranty for such purpose. No payment or
payments made by a Borrower or any other Person or received or collected by any
Lender from a Borrower or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding
or any set-off or appropriation or application, at any time or from time to
time, in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to
modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of the Guarantor
hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment or payments, remain
liable for the amount of the Obligations as aforesaid until the Obligations are
paid in full and the Commitment is terminated.
3. SUBROGATION. The Guarantor expressly waives any and all rights of
subrogation, reimbursement and contribution (contractual, statutory or
otherwise), including any claim or right of subrogation under the Bankruptcy
Code (Title 11 of the U.S. Code) or any successor statute, arising from the
existence or performance of this Guaranty, and the Guarantor irrevocably waives
any right to enforce any remedy, which any Lender now has or may hereafter have
against any Borrower, and waives any benefit of, and any right to participate
in, any security now or hereafter held by any of them. The provisions of this
paragraph 0 shall survive the termination of this Guaranty and the payment in
full of the Obligations; provided, however, that the foregoing waiver shall be
of no force and effect 370 days following the termination of this Guaranty and
the payment in full of the Obligations, but only if during such 370-day period
no Borrower nor the Guarantor shall have commenced or have commenced against it
a bankruptcy proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or similar law under any state
or foreign jurisdiction.
4. AMENDMENTS, ETC. WITH RESPECT TO THE OBLIGATIONS. The Guarantor
shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation
of rights against the Guarantor, and without notice to or further assent by the
Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by any Lender
may be rescinded, and any of the obligations continued, and the Obligations, or
the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereto, may, from time to
time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated,
compromised, waived, surrendered or released by any Lender, and any agreement or
instrument relating to the extension of credit by any Lender to any Borrower,
any Note, and any other document in connection therewith may be amended,
modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as any Lender may
deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or
right of offset at any time held by any Lender for the payment of the
Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. No Lender
shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any lien at any
time held by it as security for the Obligations or for this Guaranty or any
property subject thereto.
5. WAIVER OF RIGHTS; GUARANTEE ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL. The
Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or
accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the
Lenders upon this Guaranty or acceptance of this Guaranty; the Obligations, and
any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or
incurred in reliance upon this Guaranty; and all dealings between any Borrower
or the Guarantor, on the one hand, and any Lender, on the other, shall likewise
be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this
Guaranty.
-2-
The Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for
payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon any Borrower or the
Guarantor with respect to the Obligations. This Guaranty shall be construed as a
continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to
(a) the validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents, any of the
Obligations or any collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset
with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any Lender, (b)
any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or
performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any
Borrower against any Lender, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or
without notice to or knowledge of any Borrower or the Guarantor) which
constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal
discharge of any Borrower for the Obligations, or of the Guarantor under this
Guaranty, in bankruptcy or in any other instance, and the Obligations may be
declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided under Article VIII of the
Credit Agreement (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and
payable in case of defaults arising under Sections 8.01(d) or (e) of the Credit
Agreement) notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing
such declaration as against any other Person and that, in the event of such
declaration (or the Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due
and payable), the Obligations shall forthwith become due and payable by the
Guarantor. When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against the
Guarantor, any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue such
rights and remedies as it may have against any Borrower or any other Person or
against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of
offset with respect thereto, and any failure by such Lender to pursue such other
rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any Borrower or any such
other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to
exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any Borrower or any such
other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset,
shall not relieve the Guarantor of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair
or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a
matter of law, of any Lender against the Guarantor.
6. REINSTATEMENT. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective, or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of
any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by
any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or
reorganization of any Borrower or upon or as a result of the appointment of a
receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for any
Borrower or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though
such payments had not been made.
7. PAYMENTS. The Guarantor hereby agrees that the Obligations will be
paid to the Lenders without set-off or counterclaim in the currency or
currencies in which such Obligations are denominated from time to time at the
Lending Office identified in the documentation governing such Obligations, at
such office of the Bank.
8. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Guarantor represents and
warrants that:
(a) the Guarantor (i) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of the
Commonwealth of Virginia, (ii) has the corporate power and authority
and the legal right to own and operate its property, to lease the
property it operates under lease and to conduct the business in which
it is currently
-3-
engaged, and (iii) is qualified to do business in every
jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except where the
failure to so qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect;
(b) the Guarantor has the corporate power and authority and the legal
right to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under,
this Guaranty, and has taken all necessary corporate action to
authorize its execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty;
(c) this Guaranty constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of
the Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally;
(d) the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty will not
(i) violate any provision of any law or regulation or of any judgment,
order, decree, determination or award of any court, arbitrator or
governmental authority, bureau or agency or of the charter, by-laws or
other corporate rules of, or any securities issued by, the Guarantor,
(ii) result in a breach of or constitute a default under any mortgage,
indenture, loan or security agreement, lease, contract or other
agreement, instrument or undertaking to which the Guarantor is a party
or which purports to be binding upon it or any of its properties or
assets, or (iii) result in or require the creation or imposition of any
lien on any of the properties or revenues of the Guarantor pursuant to
the provisions of any of the foregoing;
(e) no consent or authorization of, filing with, or other act by or in
respect of, any Governmental Authority, and no consent of any other
person (including, without limitation, any stockholder or creditor of
the Guarantor) is required in connection with the execution, delivery,
performance, validity or enforceability of this Guaranty; and
(f) except as disclosed to the Bank in writing (including disclosure by
delivery of financial statements to the Bank pursuant to Section
5.01(i) of the Credit Agreement), no litigation, investigation or
proceeding of or before any arbitrator or governmental authority,
bureau or agency is pending or, to the knowledge of the Guarantor,
threatened by or against the Guarantor or against any of its properties
or revenues (i) with respect to this Guaranty or any of the
transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) the probable outcome of which
would have a Material Adverse Effect;
9. STATUS OF BORROWERS. The Guarantor represents and warrants as of the
date hereof that the Guarantor directly or indirectly owns and has the power to
vote at least 51% of the voting interests of each of BAX and Brink's, that BAX
directly or indirectly owns at least 51% of the voting interests of each of the
BAX Covered Subsidiaries that are party to the Credit Agreement, and that
Brink's directly or indirectly owns at least 51% of the voting interests of each
of the Brink's Covered Subsidiaries that are party to the Credit Agreement.
Notwithstanding any sale or transfer of any ownership interest in any Borrower,
the Guarantor will continue to be bound by the terms of this Guaranty in all
respects including without limitation to guaranty the Obligations of each
Minority Owned Borrower.
-4-
The Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the
representations and warranties contained in the first sentence of this paragraph
0 shall be deemed repeated as of the date of each Advance made after the
Effective Date and as of the date of effectiveness of each Election to
Participate requesting that an additional Covered Subsidiary be made a party to,
and a Borrower under, the Credit Agreement after the Effective Date.
10. SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Guaranty which is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction.
11. PARAGRAPH HEADINGS. The paragraph headings used in this
Guaranty are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the
construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation
hereof.
12. NO WAIVER: CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. Neither the Bank nor any Lending
Office affiliates, branches or subsidiaries shall by any act (except by a
written instrument pursuant to paragraph 0 hereof), delay, indulgence, omission
or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have
acquiesced in any default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions
hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the
Bank or any Lending Office, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power
or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Bank or any
Lending Office of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be
construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Bank or such Lending Office
would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein
provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not
exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
13. WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS; SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS: GOVERNING LAW.
Except as otherwise set forth in paragraph 0 hereof, none of the terms or
provisions of this Guaranty may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise
modified except by a written instrument executed by the Guarantor and the Bank;
provided that any provision of this Guaranty may be waived by the Bank in a
letter or agreement executed by the Bank or by telex or fax transmission by the
Bank. This Guaranty shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the
Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Bank, all Lending Offices and
their respective successors and assigns. THIS GUARANTY IS A GUARANTEE OF PAYMENT
AND NOT SOLELY OF COLLECTION AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND
INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
14. JUDGMENT CURRENCY.
(a) The Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty to make payments to
any Lenders in the currency or currencies in which the Obligations are
denominated in the documentation governing such Obligations (the
"Obligations Currency") shall not be discharged or satisfied by any
tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in
-5-
or converted into any other currency, except to the extent that such
tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Lenders of
the full amount of the Obligations Currency payable to the Lenders
under this Guaranty, and the Guarantor shall indemnify the Lenders
(and the Lenders shall have an additional legal claim) for any
difference between such full amount and the amount effectively received
by such Person pursuant to any such tender or recovery. The
determination by any Lender of amounts effectively received by it shall
be conclusive absent manifest error.
(b) (i)i If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing any
judgment against the Guarantor in any court in any
jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into any
currency other than the Obligations Currency (such currency
being hereinafter in this paragraph 0 referred to as the
"Judgment Currency") an amount due in the Obligations Currency
under this Guaranty, the conversion shall be made, at the
option of the Bank or the relevant Lending Office, at the rate
of exchange prevailing on the business day immediately
preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such
business day being hereinafter in this paragraph 0 referred to
as the "Conversion Date").
(ii)ii If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing
between the Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of
the amount due, the Guarantor covenants and agrees to pay such
additional amounts (if any, but in any event not a lesser
amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in
the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange
prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of
the Obligations Currency which could have been purchased with
the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment of
judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the
Conversion Date.
(c) Any amount due from the Guarantor under the foregoing paragraph
will be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment
being obtained for any other sums due under or in respect of this
Guaranty.
(d) The term "rate of exchange" in this paragraph 0 means the Bank's or
the relevant Lending Office's rate of exchange on the relevant date
applicable to the purchase of the Obligations Currency with the
Judgment Currency or, if such rate is not so published by the Bank or

The Bank, after consultation with the relevant branch or Affiliate,
shall notify the requesting Borrower as soon as reasonably practicable
whether it accepts such re-allocation and shall advise the Borrowers in
writing of the amount of such re-allocation. The Bank shall not be
obligated in any way to accept any requested amendment to Schedule B-1.
The determination by the Bank of the Dollar Equivalent with respect to
any credit extensions in a currency other than US Dollars shall be
conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers; the Bank may readjust the
Dollar Equivalent periodically as provided in Section 2.04 (b) and

give the Borrowers prompt written notice of any such readjustment). The
Bank's relevant branch or Affiliate and the relevant Covered Subsidiary
shall be free to structure each individual credit transaction in

of any Covered Subsidiaries (but not with respect to interest, fees and
the like with respect to any such obligations) incurred in respect to
credit extensions contemplated by this Agreement which the Bank
reasonably determines may be outstanding beyond the Termination Date or
outstanding after any such Covered Subsidiary ceases to qualify as a
Subsidiary (in the latter case, the providing of cash collateral shall
not be required until 30 days after the Bank so requests). Cash
collateral shall be by means of a deposit of immediately available
funds in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of any such
obligations in a non-interest bearing account with the Bank. Any
failure to provide cash collateral in accordance with this Section
2.01(b)(ii) shall, upon written notice from the Bank, be an Event of

Letter of Credit, and (B) in the case of a Financial Letter of
Credit issued by the Bank for the account of such Borrower,
equal to the Margin per annum on the amount from time to time
available to be drawn under such Financial Letter of Credit.
Such fee shall accrue on such amount from the date of issuance
of each Letter of Credit (with such issuance date being deemed
to be the Effective Date in the case of the Outstanding
Letters of Credit that are to be continued hereunder as
Performance Letters of Credit or Financial Letters of Credit)
until its expiration date, taking into account any extensions
of the expiration date beyond the initial expiration date.
Such fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day
of each calendar quarter and on the date each Letter of Credit
expires or is fully drawn.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(ii) In addition to the letter of credit fees due the

Obligations of any of the Guarantors to be cash collateralized as
contemplated in Section 2.01(b) or to permit any Letter of Credit to
expire after the Termination Date as contemplated in Section 3.02(b),
the Bank may in its discretion notify Pittston in writing that it
elects to collect an administrative fee of up to $5000 for each such
collateralized Obligation and each extension of a Letter of Credit
beyond the Termination Date. All such administrative fees shall be
payable upon demand and prior to the Bank's acceptance of cash
collateral or any such extension.

Rate Loans at all times as the Base Rate is determined by the Bank's
"reference" or "prime" rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365
or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other
computations of fees and interest under this Agreement shall be made on
the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed. Interest and fees
shall accrue during each period during which interest or such fees are
computed from and including the first day thereof to but excluding the

available funds, no later than 12:00 noon (local time) unless otherwise

a Lending Office later than 12:00 noon (local time) shall be deemed to
have been received on the immediately succeeding Business Day and any
applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(b) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due
on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the
next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such
case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case
may be, subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of
"Interest Period" herein.

3.01 The Letters of Credit Commitment.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(a) Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or any other
Approved Currency may be issued under the Commitment for the following
purposes: (i) "Financial Letters of Credit" may be issued to any Person
other than an Affiliate to secure the payment by any Person of its
financial obligations, or to provide counter or "back-up" guarantees in
support of bank guarantees, Letters of Credit or other credit
facilities afforded to a Borrower, or to support local currency
borrowings outside the United States, and (ii) "Performance Letters of
Credit" may be issued to secure the performance by any Person of its
obligations, or to guaranty or otherwise secure any Person's
obligations relating to a bid, advance payment or security deposit,
retention release, custom and duty deferment guaranty or bond, warranty
or performance bond or other guaranty and shall include Commercial
Letters of Credit.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(b) The Letter of Credit Obligations set forth on Schedule B-2
hereto are outstanding under the 1999 Revolving Facility. All such
Letter of Credit Obligations shall be deemed outstanding hereunder upon
the Effective Date. With respect to any such Letter of Credit
Obligations that are not Letter of Credit Obligations of a Borrower
hereunder, they shall, upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, become
joint and several obligations of BAX or Brink's, as the case may be,
upon the terms and conditions hereof and as particularly set forth on
Schedule B-2. It is understood and agreed by the Bank and by Brink's
and BAX, respectively, that Brink's shall only be jointly and severally
liable with the entities set opposite its name on Schedule B-2 and that
BAX shall only be jointly and severally liable with the entities set
opposite its name on Schedule B-2; Brink's shall not be jointly and
severally liable with any entity set opposite BAX's name and BAX shall
not be jointly and severally liable with any entity set opposite
Brink's name; nor shall BAX be jointly and severally liable with
Brink's.

Date shall not have a term exceeding one year.

(b) No Letter of Credit may expire (including all rights of
renewal) later than the Termination Date, provided, however, that the
Bank in its discretion may elect to, issue Letters of Credit that
expire after the Termination Date, upon terms and conditions acceptable
to the Bank, including without limitation, cash collateral provisions,
it being understood and agreed that this Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect with respect to all such Letters of Credit until they
have expired and all related Letter of Credit Obligations have been
paid in full. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
applicable Borrower will cash collateralize each Letter of Credit that
remains outstanding and undrawn as of the Termination Date by deposit
of immediately available funds in an amount equal to the undrawn amount
of such Letter of Credit in a non-interest-bearing account maintained
with the Bank; provided, however, that subject to the proviso in
Section 8.02, the obligation to so cash collateralize any Letter of
Credit having a stated expiry date occurring after the Termination Date
shall arise only upon the Bank's request to the applicable Borrower. If
any Letter of Credit that is to be cash collateralized is denominated
in an Approved Currency other than Dollars, the amount so deposited
shall, if requested by the Bank, be the Dollar Equivalent of the
undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit as of the Termination Date. The
Bank may, at any time and from time to time after the initial deposit
of cash collateral, require that additional cash collateral be provided
in order to protect against the results of exchange rate fluctuations.

default, representations and warranties, and covenants, except that
such L/C Application may provide for further warranties relating
specifically to the transaction or affairs underlying such Letter of
Credit.

principal amount of all other Advances then outstanding and allocations then
existing, do not exceed the Commitment) and, regardless of whether or not the
conditions precedent specified in Article V (except 5.02(c)) have been
satisfied, the Bank shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan in such
amount, the proceeds of which shall be deemed to have satisfied the related
Reimbursement Obligations. Interest shall be payable on any such Base Rate Loan

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
4.01 Taxes.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(a) Payments made hereunder and under any instrument executed
hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction for,
any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties,
deductions, withholding and similar charges ("Taxes") excluding, in the
case of the Bank, each Lending Office and each Assignee, Taxes
(including franchise or receipts taxes) imposed on or in respect of its
net income, capital, or receipts, by the jurisdiction (or any political
subdivision thereof) under the laws of which the Bank or such Lending
Office or Assignee (as the case may be) (A) is organized, (B) has its
principal place of business, or (C) is, through an office or other
fixed place of business, deemed to be doing business or maintaining a
permanent establishment under any applicable income tax treaty (such
non-excluded Taxes being "Withholding Taxes"). If any Borrower shall be
required by law to deduct any Withholding Taxes from or in respect of
any sum payable hereunder or under any instrument executed hereunder,
such Borrower:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(i) shall pay to the Bank, Lending Office or Assignee an additional amount
so that the net amount received and retained by the Bank, Lending Office or
Assignee after taking into account such Withholding Taxes (and any additional
Withholding Taxes payable on account of any additional payment called for by
this sentence) will equal the full amount which would have been received and
retained by the Bank, Lending Office or Assignee as if no such Withholding Taxes
been paid, deducted, or withheld;
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(ii) shall make such deductions; and
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(iii) shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority
or other authority in accordance with applicable law.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(b) Each Borrower will furnish the Bank, Lending Office or
Assignee original Withholding Tax receipts, notarized copies of
Withholding Tax receipts or such other appropriate documentation as
will prove payment of tax in a court of law applying U.S. Federal Rules
of Evidence for all Taxes paid by such Borrower pursuant to Section
4.01(a). The relevant Borrower will deliver such receipts within a
reasonable period after payment of any Withholding Taxes, but in no
event later than 60 days after the due date for the related Withholding
Tax.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(c) If the Bank, Lending Office or Assignee is entitled to a
refund or credit of Withholding Tax, it shall use reasonable efforts to
pursue such refund (and interest with respect thereto), and if it
receives such refund or credit, shall pay to the relevant Borrower the
amount of the refund or credit (and interest with respect thereto)
actually received.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(d) The Bank, Lending Office or Assignee shall use reasonable
efforts (consistent with its internal policies, and legal and
regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its relevant
Lending Office if such change would avoid or reduce any Withholding
Tax; provided that no such change of jurisdiction shall be made if, in
the reasonable judgment of the Bank, such Lending Office or such
Assignee, such change would be disadvantageous to the Bank, such
Lending Office or such Assignee, as the case may be.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(e) The Bank agrees that it will deliver to the Borrowers,
within 30 days after the execution of this Agreement (unless
theretofore so delivered) and as may be reasonably required from time
to time by applicable law or regulation, United States Internal Revenue
Service Forms W-8BEN and/or W-8EC1 (or successor Forms) or such other
form, if any, as from time to time may permit the Borrowers to
demonstrate that payments made by the Borrowers to the Bank under this
Agreement either are exempt from United States Federal Withholding
Taxes or are payable at a reduced rate (if any) specified in any
applicable tax treaty or convention.

(a) If the Bank shall determine that the introduction of any Requirement of
Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or
administration thereof, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other
Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for the Bank or any
other relevant Lending Office to make LIBOR Rate Loans or to issue Letters of
Credit, then, on notice thereof by the Bank to the Borrowers, the obligation of
the Bank to make LIBOR Rate Loans or to issue Letters of Credit, as the case may
be, shall be suspended until the Bank shall have notified the Borrowers that the
circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b) If the Bank shall determine that it is unlawful to maintain any LIBOR
Rate Loan, the affected Borrowers shall prepay in full all LIBOR Rate Loans then
outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon, either on the last day of
the Interest Period thereof if the Bank may lawfully continue to maintain such
LIBOR Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if the Bank may not lawfully
continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans, together with any amounts required

introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any
Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or administration thereof
or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central
bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force
of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to the Bank or any
Lending Office of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining
any LIBOR Rate Loans, then the relevant Borrowers shall be liable for,
and shall from time to time, upon written request therefor by the Bank,
pay to the Bank additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate the
Bank or such Lending Office for such increased costs.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(b) If the Bank shall have determined that (i) the
introduction of any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (ii) any change in any
Capital Adequacy Regulation, (iii) any change in the interpretation or
administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank
or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or (iv) compliance by the Bank (or other
relevant Lending Office) or any corporation controlling the Bank, with
any Capital Adequacy Regulation affects or would affect the amount of
capital required or expected to be maintained by the Bank, any Lending
Office or any corporation controlling the Bank and (taking into
consideration the Bank's and such controlling corporation's policies
with respect to capital adequacy and the Bank's desired return on
capital) and determines that the amount of such capital is increased as
a consequence of Advances under this Agreement, then, upon written
request of the Bank, the Borrowers shall immediately pay to the Bank or
the relevant Lending Office, from time to time as specified by the
Bank, additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Bank or such
Lending Office for such increase.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(c) Each Borrower shall pay to the Bank, as long as the Bank
shall be required under Federal Reserve Board regulations to maintain
reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or
including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as
"Eurocurrency liabilities"), additional costs on the unpaid principal
amount of all LIBOR Rate Loans made by the Bank to such Borrower equal
to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to each such Loan by the
Bank (as determined by the Bank in good faith, which determination
shall be conclusive absent manifest error), payable on each Interest
Payment Date with respect to each such Loan, provided that such
Borrower shall have received at least 15 days' prior written notice of
such additional costs from the Bank. If the Bank fails to give notice
15 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional
interest shall accrue and be payable 15 days from receipt of such
notice.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(d) The Bank will notify each Borrower of any event occurring
after the date hereof which will entitle the Bank or any Lending Office
to compensation from such Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.03 as
promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and
determines to request such compensation, and will designate a different
Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce
the amount of, such compensation. If the Bank requests compensation
under this Section 4.03, the relevant Borrowers may, by notice to the
Bank, require that: (x) the Bank furnish to the relevant Borrowers a
statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and
the method for determining the amount thereof or (y) the Loans of the
type with respect to which such compensation is requested be either
prepaid or converted into another type.

have determined that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist
for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect
to a LIBOR Rate Loan or that the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period
with respect thereto does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Bank
or any relevant Lending Office of funding such Loan, the Bank will forthwith
give notice of such determination to the relevant Borrowers. Thereafter, the
obligation of the Bank or any relevant Lending Office to make or continue LIBOR
Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder, as the
case may be, shall be suspended until the Bank revokes such notice in writing.
Upon receipt of such notice, the relevant Borrower may revoke any notice of
borrowing or notice of conversion or continuation then submitted by it. If the
relevant Borrower does not revoke such notice with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan,
the Bank shall make, convert or continue the Loan, as proposed by such Borrower,
in the amount specified in the applicable notice submitted by such Borrower, but
such Loan shall be made, converted or continued as a Base Rate Loan instead of a
LIBOR Rate Loan.

provisions of ERISA and the Code. No Plan has terminated under circumstances
giving rise to liability of the Borrower of any ERISA Affiliate to the PBGC
under Section 4062, 4063 or 4064 of ERISA, which liability remains unpaid in
whole or in part, and no lien under Section 4068 of ERISA exists with respect to
the assets of the Borrower. No Reportable Event has occurred with respect to any

terminated under Title IV of ERISA, nor, to the best knowledge of the Borrower,
is any such reorganization, insolvency or termination reasonably likely to
occur, where such reorganization, insolvency or termination has resulted or can
reasonably be expected to result in an increase in the contributions required to
be made to such Multiemployer Plan in an amount that would have a Material
Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has failed to make
any contribution to a Multiemployer Plan which is required under ERISA or an
applicable collective bargaining agreement in an amount which is material in the
aggregate (except to the extent there is a good faith dispute as to whether any
contribution is owed, the amount owed or the existence of facts that would give
rise to a withdrawal).

or operating expenditures required for clean-up, closure or restoration of
properties presently or previously owned, any capital or operating expenditures
required to achieve or maintain compliance with environmental protection and
occupational health and safety standards imposed by law or as a condition of any
license, permit or contact, any related constraints on operating activities,
including any periodic or permanent shutdown of any facility or reduction in the
level of or change in the nature of operations conducted thereat and any actual

GUARANTY
For valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, and to induce ABN AMRO Bank, N.V. through any of its
offices, subsidiaries or affiliates (hereinafter called the "Bank") to make,
grant, renew, extend or continue to grant allocations, loans, advances,
overdraft facilities, letters of credit or other banking or credit facilities
("Credit Arrangements") from time to time as provided in the Credit Agreement
dated as of December 20, 2002 among the Bank, The Pittston Company, BAX Global,
Inc. ("BAX") and Brink's Incorporated (Brink's) (the "Credit Agreement") to BAX
and its Covered Subsidiaries (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and to Brink's
and its Covered Subsidiaries (as defined in the Credit Agreement) (each a
"Borrower") and in recognition of such Credit Arrangements entered into or
hereafter to be entered into between any Borrower and the Bank, provided such
Credit Arrangements are pursuant to or contemplated by the Credit Agreement, BAX
Global Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware
(the "Guarantor"), hereby, for itself, its successors and assigns, absolutely
and unconditionally guarantees to the Bank that all obligations now or at any
time hereafter owing by its Covered Subsidiaries to the Bank in respect of all
such Credit Arrangements will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at
maturity or by acceleration, in accordance with their respective terms, together
with any and all expenses and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) which
may be paid or incurred by or on behalf of the Bank in collecting or enforcing
such indebtedness or enforcing any rights hereunder or for the preservation and
protection of or in realizing upon any security therefor (the "Guaranteed
Obligations"). All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement. Promptly upon notice by
the Bank to the Guarantor that a Guaranteed Obligation due to the Bank from any
of BAX's Covered Subsidiaries has not been paid and without the necessity of any
demand whatsoever upon any such Borrower, the Guarantor will pay such amount to
the Bank at the Bank's office listed above or at any other address specified in
writing or by telefax by the Bank, without the necessity of any suit, proceeding
or formality of any kind whatsoever on the Bank's part against the Borrower, the
Guarantor or any other person or against any security for the Guaranteed
Obligations of any such Borrower, the Guarantor or any other person to the Bank.
The Guarantor agrees to accept as prima facie evidence of the amount payable by
the Guarantor the balance appearing due to the Bank from any BAX's Covered
Subsidiaries according to the Bank's books and records except in such
jurisdictions where further proofs are required as a matter of law.
No payments by the Guarantor hereunder shall entitle the Guarantor, by
subrogation to the rights of the Bank or otherwise, to any payment by any
Borrower or out of the assets or revenues of any such Borrower, except after
full payment of all Guaranteed Obligations which may be or become payable by
such Borrower to the Bank.
Any payment made hereunder or received by the Bank with respect to the
Guaranteed Obligations of any Borrower may be applied by the Bank to the payment
or reduction, in whole or in part, to the extent same may suffice, in such order
as the Bank may elect at its sole option
and discretion, of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations of such Borrower to the Bank, whether or not then due,
whether absolute or contingent, and (in the case of payments received from
persons other than the Guarantor), whether or not guaranteed hereby. No
amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty nor consent to any
departure by the Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the
same shall be in writing and signed by the Bank, and then such waiver or consent
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose
for which given.
If any payment is recovered from, or repaid by, the Bank in whole or in
part in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding instituted by or
against any Borrower or the Guarantor, this Guarantee shall continue to be fully
applicable to such Guaranteed Obligation to the same extent as though the
payment so recovered or repaid had never been originally made on such Guaranteed
Obligation.
The Guarantor consents that without notice to it the maturity of any
Guaranteed Obligation of any Borrower may be extended or renewed or the terms
thereof waived, increased, or varied, or any security therefor including but not
limited to guarantees, sureties or collateral of whatever nature and description
whether of any Borrower or the Guarantor, may be released, exchanged or
otherwise dealt with, all as the Bank may determine. The granting of credit from
time to time by the Bank to any Borrower pursuant to, and as contemplated by,
the Credit Agreement and the incurrence of Guaranteed Obligations to the Bank by
any Borrower without notice to the Guarantor are hereby authorized and shall in
no way affect or impair this Guaranty. The Guarantor agrees that, at any time
and from time to time, in accordance with and as contemplated by the Credit
Agreement, the Bank, at its discretion, may increase credit extended to any
Borrower or may make new loans to any Borrower, regardless of whether the
original Guaranteed Obligation hereunder has been paid, and the Guarantor agrees
that this Guaranty shall remain in full force as to any such future increases or
new Guaranteed Obligations, even though the Guaranteed Obligations of any or all
Borrowers to the Bank may, from time to time, be reduced to zero. This Guaranty
shall not be affected by any law (including, without limitation, statutes of
limitation), regulation or order of any governmental or administrative body,
purporting to amend or affect any Guaranteed Obligation of the Borrower or the
terms of payment thereof, including any "Country Risk Event" or "New Money
Event," and shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of the actual or
alleged invalidity of any such Guaranteed Obligation and of any circumstance
which might otherwise constitute a discharge of a surety or guarantor including
but not limited to extension, modification or renewal and shall not be
discharged except by payment. "Country Risk Event" shall mean (a) the adoption
of any law, rule or regulation or the action or failure of action by any
authority (de facto or de jure) in any Borrower's country which (i) changes the
Guaranteed Obligations of such Borrower to the Bank, (ii) changes the ownership
or control by any Borrower of its business or assets, or (iii) prevents or
restricts the conversion into or transfer of the agreed currency; or (b) the
occurrence of any force majeure or similar event which, directly or indirectly
prevents or restricts the payment or transfer in the agreed currency of amounts
owing into an account designated by the Bank or the free availability of such
payments to the Bank. "New Money Credit Event" shall mean the adoption of any
law, rule or regulation or the action or requirement of any authority (de facto
or de jure) in any Borrower's country pursuant to which the Bank must increase
its credit extension to such Borrower.
The Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty,
notice of the granting of any credit, and diligence, presentment, protest,
notice of protest or dishonor of any evidences of indebtedness hereby guaranteed
and notice of any other nature whatsoever.
This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York
(without regard to principles of conflicts of law).
The Guarantor agrees that all payments to be made by it hereunder shall
be made at the places and in the currencies as agreed by the Borrower at the
time credit was extended (or, in case payment in any such currency is prohibited
by applicable law or regulation, then in U.S. dollars, the amount of which shall
be calculated at the Bank's spot buying rate (in U.S. dollars) for such
currency).
No delay by the Bank in exercising any power or right hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
power or right hereunder preclude other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other power or right, nor shall the Bank be liable for
exercising or failing to exercise any such power or right, nor shall any action
by the Bank omitted hereunder in any way impair or affect this Guaranty.
All notices and other communications under this Guarantee shall be
deemed to have been given when deposited in the mail, first class postage
prepaid, or transmitted by telefax with a confirmation of successful
transmission addressed to the party to which such notice is directed at its
address set forth in the Credit Agreement.
This Guaranty may be executed by one or more of the parties to this
Guaranty in any number of separate counterparts, each of which, when so
executed, shall be deemed an original, and all of said counterparts taken
together shall be deemed to constitute but one and the same instrument.
ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS GUARANTY MAY BE
BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS GUARANTY,
THE GUARANTOR CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE IN
PERSONAM JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. THE GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY
OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE
GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE
BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT RELATED HERETO. THE GUARANTOR WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE
OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS, WHICH MAY BE MADE BY AN OTHER MEANS
PERMITTED BY NEW YORK LAW OR BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL TO ITS ADDRESS FOR
NOTICES PURSUANT TO THE CREDIT AGREEMENT.
EACH OF THE GUARANTOR AND THE BANK WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY
OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS
GUARANTY, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR
OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST ANY OTHER
PARTY OR PARTIES, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, OR
OTHERWISE. EACH OF THE GUARANTOR AND THE BANK AGREES THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR
CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING
THE FOREGOING, THE GUARANTOR FURTHER AGREES THAT ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A
TRIAL BY JURY ARE WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS PARAGRAPH AS TO ANY ACTION,
COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE
THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS GUARANTY OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF OR
THEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS,
SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS HEREOF.
The remainder of this page is intentionally left blank.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we have executed this Guaranty and caused our seal
to be affixed hereto as of this 26th day of December, 2002.

occurrence of any force majeure or similar event which, directly or indirectly

GUARANTY
For valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, and to induce ABN AMRO Bank, N.V. through any of its
offices, subsidiaries or affiliates (hereinafter called the "Bank") to make,
grant, renew, extend or continue to grant allocations, loans, advances,
overdraft facilities, letters of credit or other banking or credit facilities
("Credit Arrangements") from time to time as provided in the Credit Agreement
dated as of December 20, 2002 among the Bank, The Pittston Company, BAX Global,
Inc. ("BAX") and Brink's Incorporated (Brink's) (the "Credit Agreement") to BAX
and its Covered Subsidiaries (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and to Brink's
and its Covered Subsidiaries (as defined in the Credit Agreement) (each a
"Borrower") and in recognition of such Credit Arrangements entered into or
hereafter to be entered into between any Borrower and the Bank, provided such
Credit Arrangements are pursuant to or contemplated by the Credit Agreement, The
Pittston Company, a corporation organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Virginia (the "Guarantor"), hereby, for itself, its successors and assigns,
absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Bank that all obligations now
or at any time hereafter owing by any Borrower to the Bank in respect of all
such Credit Arrangements will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at
maturity or by acceleration, in accordance with their respective terms, together
with any and all expenses and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) which
may be paid or incurred by or on behalf of the Bank in collecting or enforcing
such indebtedness or enforcing any rights hereunder or for the preservation and
protection of or in realizing upon any security therefor (the "Guaranteed
Obligations"). All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement. Promptly upon notice by
the Bank to the Guarantor that a Guaranteed Obligation due to the Bank from any
Borrower has not been paid and without the necessity of any demand whatsoever
upon any such Borrower, the Guarantor will pay such amount to the Bank at the
Bank's office listed above or at any other address specified in writing or by
telefax by the Bank, without the necessity of any suit, proceeding or formality
of any kind whatsoever on the Bank's part against the Borrower, the Guarantor or
any other person or against any security for the Guaranteed Obligations of any
such Borrower, the Guarantor or any other person to the Bank. The Guarantor
agrees to accept as prima facie evidence of the amount payable by the Guarantor
the balance appearing due to the Bank from any Borrower according to the Bank's
books and records except in such jurisdictions where further proofs are required
as a matter of law.
No payments by the Guarantor hereunder shall entitle the Guarantor, by
subrogation to the rights of the Bank or otherwise, to any payment by any
Borrower or out of the assets or revenues of any such Borrower, except after
full payment of all Guaranteed Obligations which may be or become payable by
such Borrower to the Bank.
Any payment made hereunder or received by the Bank with respect to the
Guaranteed Obligations of any Borrower may be applied by the Bank to the payment
or reduction, in whole or in part, to the extent same may suffice, in such order
as the Bank may elect at its sole option and discretion, of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations of such Borrower to the Bank, whether
or not then due,
whether absolute or contingent, and (in the case of payments received from
persons other than the Guarantor), whether or not guaranteed hereby. The
Guaranty of the Guarantor for the Guaranteed Obligations of BAX and its Covered
Subsidiaries shall be joint and several with BAX and for the Guaranteed
Obligations of Brink's and its Covered Subsidiaries shall be joint and several
with Brink's. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty nor
consent to any departure by the Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Bank, and then
such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for
the specific purpose for which given.
If any payment is recovered from, or repaid by, the Bank in whole or in
part in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding instituted by or
against any Borrower or the Guarantor, this Guarantee shall continue to be fully
applicable to such Guaranteed Obligation to the same extent as though the
payment so recovered or repaid had never been originally made on such Guaranteed
Obligation.
The Guarantor consents that without notice to it the maturity of any
Guaranteed Obligation of any Borrower may be extended or renewed or the terms
thereof waived, increased, or varied, or any security therefor including but not
limited to guarantees, sureties or collateral of whatever nature and description
whether of any Borrower or the Guarantor, may be released, exchanged or
otherwise dealt with, all as the Bank may determine. The granting of credit from
time to time by the Bank to any Borrower pursuant to, and as contemplated by,
the Credit Agreement and the incurrence of Guaranteed Obligations to the Bank by
any Borrower without notice to the Guarantor are hereby authorized and shall in
no way affect or impair this Guaranty. The Guarantor agrees that, at any time
and from time to time, in accordance with and as contemplated by the Credit
Agreement, the Bank, at its discretion, may increase credit extended to any
Borrower or may make new loans to any Borrower, regardless of whether the
original Guaranteed Obligation hereunder has been paid, and the Guarantor agrees
that this Guaranty shall remain in full force as to any such future increases or
new Guaranteed Obligations, even though the Guaranteed Obligations of any or all
Borrowers to the Bank may, from time to time, be reduced to zero. This Guaranty
shall not be affected by any law (including, without limitation, statutes of
limitation), regulation or order of any governmental or administrative body,
purporting to amend or affect any Guaranteed Obligation of the Borrower or the
terms of payment thereof, including any "Country Risk Event" or "New Money
Event," and shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of the actual or
alleged invalidity of any such Guaranteed Obligation and of any circumstance
which might otherwise constitute a discharge of a surety or guarantor including
but not limited to extension, modification or renewal and shall not be
discharged except by payment. "Country Risk Event" shall mean (a) the adoption
of any law, rule or regulation or the action or failure of action by any
authority (de facto or de jure) in any Borrower's country which (i) changes the
Guaranteed Obligations of such Borrower to the Bank, (ii) changes the ownership
or control by any Borrower of its business or assets, or (iii) prevents or
restricts the conversion into or transfer of the agreed currency; or (b) the
occurrence of any force majeure or similar event which, directly or indirectly
prevents or restricts the payment or transfer in the agreed currency of amounts
owing into an account designated by the Bank or the free availability of such
payments to the Bank. "New Money Credit Event" shall mean the adoption of any
law, rule or regulation or the action or requirement of any authority (de facto
or de jure) in any Borrower's country pursuant to which the Bank must increase
its credit extension to such Borrower.
The Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty,
notice of the granting of any credit, and diligence, presentment, protest,
notice of protest or dishonor of any evidences of indebtedness hereby guaranteed
and notice of any other nature whatsoever.
This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York
(without regard to principles of conflicts of law).
The Guarantor agrees that all payments to be made by it hereunder shall
be made at the places and in the currencies as agreed by the Borrower at the
time credit was extended (or, in case payment in any such currency is prohibited

be calculated at the Bank's spot buying rate (in U.S. dollars) for such
currency).
No delay by the Bank in exercising any power or right hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
power or right hereunder preclude other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other power or right, nor shall the Bank be liable for
exercising or failing to exercise any such power or right, nor shall any action
by the Bank omitted hereunder in any way impair or affect this Guaranty.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Pittston Company ("Pittston") has three primary operating segments within
its "Business and Security Services" businesses: Brink's, Incorporated
("Brink's"), Brink's Home Security, Inc. ("BHS") and BAX Global Inc. ("BAX
Global"). The fourth operating segment is Other Operations, which consists of
Pittston's gold, timber and natural gas operations. The Company also has
significant assets and liabilities associated with its former coal operations
and expects to have significant ongoing expenses and cash outflows related to
former coal operations in the future. Pittston and its subsidiaries are referred
to herein as the "Company."
During 2002, the Company completed its planned exit of the coal business by
selling or shutting down its remaining coal operations. The results of
operations of the Company's former coal operations have been reported as
discontinued operations for all years reported. The Company defines certain of
the liabilities associated with its former coal operations as its "legacy"
liabilities. Information about the Company's legacy liabilities is contained in
several sections of Management's Discussion and Analysis, including
"Applications of Critical Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting
Pronouncements," "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Legacy Liabilities and
Assets," "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Significant Contractual Obligations"
and "Results of Operations - Former Coal Operations." Disclosures in these
sections discuss critical estimates used, provide a sensitivity analysis,
reconcile the legacy liability components to U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP") measures and show five-year projections for estimated future
payments and expense associated with the legacy liabilities.
For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company reported net income of $26.1
million, or $0.48 per diluted share, compared with $16.6 million, or $0.31 per
diluted share, for 2001 and a net loss of $256.6 million, or $5.12 per diluted
share, in 2000.
Net income in 2002 included $19.2 million ($12.5 million after tax) of
impairment and other charges associated with the Company's former coal business
and $7.1 million ($5.0 million after tax) of impairment and other charges
related to its gold mining and exploration interests. Also included in 2002 net
income was a charge of $42.9 million (after tax) related to the Company's
discontinued operations and $3.7 million (after tax) income related to a
Stabilization Act compensation payment.

Net income in 2001 included a charge of $29.2 million (after tax) reflecting
adjustments to the estimated loss on disposition of the discontinued operations.
Results in 2000 included a $207.3 million loss (after tax) from discontinued
operations, a $52.0 million (after tax) charge to record the cumulative effect
of an accounting change and a $35.7 million (after tax) restructuring charge.
Revenue from continuing operations in 2002 increased primarily due to higher BAX
Global air export volumes from Asia-Pacific, largely due to improved economic
conditions in that region. In addition, revenue increased in 2002 at Brink's and
BHS. Operating profit increased in 2002 due to improved operating performance in
the Company's business and security services segments, particularly at BAX
Global, partially offset by the charges related to the Company's former coal
operations and gold mining and exploration interests.
Revenue from continuing operations in 2001 decreased compared to 2000 primarily
due to lower volumes at BAX Global resulting from weak economic conditions.
Operating profit in 2000 included a pretax $57.5 million restructuring charge at
BAX Global (see discussion below). In 2001, improved operating performance at
BAX Global (even after excluding the 2000 restructuring charge) was partially
offset by a decrease in operating profit at Brink's.

Comparison of 2002 and 2001
Brink's revenues increased in both North America and International operations,
and although operating profit increased in North America, operating profit was
lower in the International operations, primarily due to lower operating profits
in South America.
Revenue increases from North American operations in 2002 were primarily related
to increased currency processing and armored transportation activities (which
includes ATM services). Operating profit increased in 2002 primarily due to
improved performance in U.S. Global Services and, to a lesser extent, armored
transportation operations and currency processing.
Revenues from International operations in 2002 increased 5% over 2001 excluding
the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. International
revenues in 2002 decreased a net $14 million due to changes in exchange rates as
South American currencies weakened relative to the U.S. dollar while most
European currencies strengthened. Revenues in Europe reflected increased volumes
in armored transportation, ATM servicing, currency processing and Global
Services operations. South American revenues in 2002 were negatively impacted by
the continuing effects of difficult economic and operating conditions.
The decrease in International operating profit was primarily due to lower
results in South America, which more than offset improved results in
Asia-Pacific and Europe. Lower operating profits in South America reflect the
previously mentioned difficult economic and operating conditions, which are
expected to continue into 2003. Absent improvement in such conditions,
management expects lower year-over-year performance in the first half of 2003.
Europe's operating profits in the fourth quarter of 2001 and the first quarter
of 2002 were higher as a result of nonrecurring euro-related processing and
transportation work, and in 2002, by the transportation and processing work
associated with the final return of the legacy currencies. The first nine months
of 2001 reflected upfront costs associated with preparations for the euro work,
and results throughout 2002 reflected higher than normal labor expenses as
staffing levels remained high following the euro work performed in the first
half of the year. Brink's incurred severance expense associated with a reduction
in staffing levels in Germany in the second half of 2002. Brink's expects to
further reduce staffing levels in Europe in 2003 and incur additional severance
expense. European operating performance reflected higher volume and operational
improvements in certain countries despite softness in European economies. Such
softness has continued into 2003.
Asia-Pacific operating profits in 2002 were well above the prior year,
reflecting higher pricing in Australia. International operating profits for 2001
included approximately $2 million of pretax gains on the sale of two
non-strategic international affiliates.
Brink's North American operating results in 2003 are expected to be adversely
affected by approximately $10 million higher pension expense for its primary
U.S. pension plan due to the effects of unfavorable returns on plan assets over
the last three years and a lower discount rate used to determine projected
benefit obligations.
-4-
Comparison of 2001 and 2000
Brink's worldwide consolidated revenues increased $73.4 million (5%) in 2001 as
compared to 2000. This increase was attributable to both the North America and
International operations and was partially offset by the impact of the stronger
U.S. dollar relative to 2000. Brink's 2001 operating profit of $92.0 million
represented a 15% decrease from 2000, with decreases in both the North America
and International regions. Operating profit in 2000 benefited from a $4.9
million settlement associated with an insurance recovery related to a prior
year's robbery loss.
Revenues and operating profit from North American operations in 2001 increased
$37.9 million and decreased $13.1 million, respectively, from 2000. The 6%
increase in revenues for 2001 primarily related to higher revenues from armored
car operations, which includes ATM services. Excluding the $4.9 million gain in
2000 from an insurance settlement related to a prior year's robbery loss,
operating profit decreased 16% in 2001 primarily due to increased employee
benefits, particularly for medical benefits and workers' compensation costs, all
risk costs, higher operating losses incurred by the Global Services business in
the U.S. (partly due to lower volumes and higher transportation costs) and a
downturn in performance of the armored car business in Canada due to the loss of
certain customer contracts and the effects of a labor dispute during the first
nine months of 2001.
Revenues and operating profit from International operations in 2001 increased
$35.5 million and decreased $3.4 million, respectively, from 2000. International
revenues in 2001 were reduced by approximately $50 million as a result of the
year-over-year strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to certain local
currencies, primarily in Latin America and, to a lesser extent, Europe.
Excluding these foreign currency effects, International revenues increased 10%,
primarily due to operations in Europe and, to a lesser extent, Latin America and
Asia-Pacific. The increase in Europe reflected revenues associated with armored
car services performed under contracts with central banks and other banks to
distribute the euro currency throughout Europe, as well as increased volumes in
armored transportation, ATM servicing, currency processing and air courier
operations. Increases in Latin America (excluding foreign currency effects) were
primarily due to higher revenues in Brazil and Venezuela.
The net decrease in International operating profit was due to lower results in
Latin America which more than offset improved results in Europe and
Asia-Pacific. Lower operating profits in Latin America reflected severe pricing
competition and unfavorable exchange rate effects in Brazil as well as high
labor costs and deteriorating economic conditions in Argentina. Improved results
in Europe included the higher margin euro transportation and distribution work
as well as volume increases in armored transportation, ATM services and currency
processing. Revenues and operating profits for euro transportation and
distribution were primarily earned during the fourth quarter of 2001. Operating
results in the United Kingdom were well below the prior year primarily due to
costs associated with expansion into the ATM business, a decline in air courier
volumes and reduced armored transportation business. International operating
profits for 2001 benefited from approximately $2 million of pretax gains on the
sale of the Company's investments in two non-strategic international affiliates.

(a) Reflects monthly operating profit generated from the existing subscriber
base plus the amortization of deferred revenues less the amortization of
deferred subscriber acquisition costs (primarily direct selling expenses).
(b) Primarily marketing and selling expenses, net of the deferral of direct
selling expenses, incurred in the acquisition of new subscribers.
(c) Calculated based on the number of subscribers at period end multiplied by
the average fee per subscriber received in the last month of the period for
contractual monitoring and maintenance services. The amortization of
deferred revenues is excluded. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures".
(d) Includes amortization of deferred subscriber acquisition costs of $6.6
million, $5.8 million and $5.3 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
(e) Consists of nonrefundable payments received from customers for new
installations for which revenue recognition has been deferred, net of
payments for direct selling costs for which expense recognition has been
deferred. The amount is equal to "Deferred subscriber acquisition costs" and
"Deferred revenue from new subscribers" as reported in the Company's
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Operating profit comprises recurring services minus the cost of the investment
in new subscribers. Recurring services reflects the monthly monitoring and
service earnings generated from the existing subscriber base and the
amortization of deferred revenues and deferred direct costs from installations.
Impairment charges from subscriber disconnects and depreciation and amortization
expenses are charged to recurring services.
-6-
Recurring services is affected by changes in the average monitoring fee per
subscriber, the amount of operational costs including depreciation, the size of
the subscriber base and the level of subscriber disconnect activity. Investment
in new subscribers is the net expense (primarily marketing and selling expenses)
incurred in adding to the subscriber base every year.
The amount of such investment charged to income may be influenced by several
factors, including the growth rate of new subscriber installations and the level
of costs incurred in attracting new subscribers. As a result, increases in the
rate of investment (the addition of new subscribers) may have a negative effect
on current segment operating profit but a positive impact on long-term operating
profit, cash flow and economic value.
Comparison of 2002 and 2001
Revenues increased 10% in 2002 primarily due to a 7% larger average subscriber
base, as well as higher average monitoring rates, higher revenues from home
builders and higher service revenues. These factors also contributed to a 10%
increase in monthly recurring revenues as measured at year end. Installations in
2002 were 16% higher than in 2001, primarily as a result of successful marketing
efforts and new distribution channels.
Operating profit for 2002 increased 11% as higher profit from recurring services
was partially offset by an increased investment in new subscribers. Higher
profit from recurring services was due to increased monitoring and service
revenues resulting from a larger average subscriber base and 4% lower impairment
charges reflecting a lower disconnect rate, partially offset by increased
depreciation from the larger number of security systems and higher monitoring
costs. Investment in new subscribers increased only 6% on 16% higher
installations during 2002, reflecting more effective marketing and installation
efforts and the use of new distribution channels. The Company believes the
improvement in the 2002 annualized disconnect rate of 7.1% over the 7.6% of 2001
was due primarily to the effects of higher credit standards established for new
customers in recent years.
Police departments in two major western U.S. cities do not respond to calls from
alarm companies unless an emergency has been visually verified. If more police
departments in the future refuse to respond to calls from alarm companies
without visual verification, this could have an adverse effect on future results
of operations for BHS.
BHS's operating results in 2003 are expected to be adversely affected by
approximately $1 million higher pension expense for its primary U.S. pension
plan, due to the effects of unfavorable returns on plan assets over the last
three years and a lower discount rate used to determine projected benefit
obligations.
Comparison of 2001 and 2000
Revenues for BHS increased 8% in 2001 versus 2000, primarily due to the 5%
growth in the average subscriber base. Monthly recurring revenues, measured at
year end, grew 7% from 2000 to 2001 as the subscriber base grew 6% from year end
to year end. Installations in 2001 were 11% higher than in 2000 and disconnects
were 5% higher in 2001 compared to 2000 on the higher subscriber base as the
disconnect rate stayed the same.
Segment operating profit for 2001 grew by $0.6 million to $54.9 million as
subscriber volume-related growth in recurring services was partially offset by
increased field service costs and the $3.9 million increase (9%) in the
investment in new subscribers (the number of installations increased 11% in 2001
versus 2000).
2000 Accounting Change
BHS defers all new installation revenue and the portion of the new installation
costs deemed to be direct costs of subscriber acquisition. Such revenues and
costs are amortized over the expected term of the relationship with the
subscriber.
BHS accounted for the adoption of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements," as a change in accounting principle,
effective January 1, 2000. The Company recorded a noncash, pretax charge of
$84.7 million ($52.0 million after tax) in 2000 to reflect the cumulative effect
of the change in accounting principle on years prior to 2000.

(a) Operating loss includes restructuring charges in 2000 of $54.6 million
for Americas and $2.9 million for International.
BAX Global operates throughout most of the world. The Americas includes
operations in the U.S., Latin America and Canada; International includes BAX
Global's Atlantic and Asia-Pacific operating regions. Each region includes both
expedited and non-expedited freight services. Non-expedited freight services
primarily include deferred delivery freight shipments, supply chain management
and ocean freight services. Revenues and profits are shared among the origin and
destination countries on most export volumes.
BAX Global's U.S. business, the region with the largest export and domestic
volume, significantly affects the results of BAX Global's worldwide expedited
freight services.
In addition, BAX Global's operations include an international customs brokerage
business as well as a federally certificated airline, Air Transport
International ("ATI"). ATI's results include the results of charter air service
and are included in the Americas region. Eliminations/other revenues primarily
include intercompany revenue eliminations on shared services. Corporate and
other operating profit (loss) primarily consists of global support costs
including global information technology costs and, in 2001 and 2000, goodwill
amortization.
-8-
Comparison of 2002 and 2001
The 5% increase in BAX Global's worldwide operating revenues in 2002 as compared
to 2001 was attributable to the addition of new business and economic recovery
in Asia-Pacific. Worldwide operating profit in 2002 improved $45.2 million,
primarily reflecting the benefit of ongoing efforts in the Americas to better
align transportation costs and operating expenses with market demands and
economic conditions, and the volume improvement in Asia-Pacific.
Americas revenues decreased 2% in 2002 as compared to 2001 due to a lower volume
of domestic and outbound international expedited airfreight services associated
with the continuing weak economies in the U.S. and Europe. Americas 2002
revenues from charter activity were $15 million higher than 2001.
Despite the reduction in revenues, the operating loss in the Americas was
reduced by 67% in 2002 as compared to 2001. The improvement was primarily due to
reductions in Americas transportation costs. Costs per pound shipped in 2002
decreased as compared to 2001 as a result of fleet reductions undertaken during
2001 and an increased use of ground transportation. Recent increases in carrier
rates on export shipments and higher employee benefit costs are expected to
increase costs in 2003. ATI is renegotiating most of its aircraft leases and, if
successful, expects further reductions in transportation costs in 2003 as a
result of more favorable lease terms.
In 2002, International revenues increased 13% and operating profit increased 23%
as compared to 2001. The increases were primarily due to improved economic
conditions and new business in several Asia-Pacific countries which resulted in
increased air export volumes to the U.S., primarily associated with the high
technology industry. In addition, a port dispute on the West Coast of the U.S.
resulted in a higher volume of air export freight from Asia-Pacific during the
fourth quarter of 2002. Margins on such shipments were lower due to higher
airline transportation costs, not all of which were passed on to customers. In
the Atlantic region, low export and import air-freight volumes and lower prices
caused by the continuing weak European economy resulted in a decrease in
revenues and operating profit for 2002 as compared to 2001. The Company expects
this weakness to continue into 2003.
The decrease in Corporate and other expenses in 2002 as compared to 2001 was
primarily due to the amortization of goodwill in 2001 ($7.4 million). See Note 1
to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
BAX Global's operating results in 2003 are expected to be adversely affected by
approximately $5 million higher pension expense for its primary U.S. pension
plan, due to the effects of unfavorable returns on plan assets over the last
three years and a lower discount rate used to determine projected benefit
obligations.
Comparison of 2001 and 2000
The 15% decrease in BAX Global's worldwide operating revenues in 2001 as
compared to 2000 was attributable to both the Americas and International
regions. Worldwide operating loss in 2001 was $27.6 million, compared to $99.6
million in 2000. The 2000 operating loss included a restructuring charge of
$57.5 million (discussed below).
Revenues in the Americas decreased $228.5 million (18%) in 2001 compared to 2000
as a result of lower demand for expedited freight primarily caused by weak
economic conditions during 2001, particularly in the U.S. and Asia. Domestic
expedited volumes and yields in 2001 declined over the prior year. Results in
2000 for the Americas included a restructuring charge of $54.6 million
(discussed below), a bad debt provision related to one customer of $4.5 million
and a charge of approximately $4 million relating to the decision to terminate a
logistics contract due to inadequate operating returns. Beginning in 2001,
certain U.S.-based logistics revenues and costs were refocused from a global to
a largely Americas role, resulting in certain revenues and costs that were
classified as Corporate and other during 2000 being classified within the
Americas results in 2001. Corporate and other expense in 2000 included $7.1
million of such costs. Excluding the effects of the above-mentioned 2000 charges
and the effects of the change in allocation, the Americas operating loss in 2001
increased $5.8 million over 2000. Although lower freight volume reduced revenues
significantly, the effect on operating profit of the lower volume was largely
offset by cost savings associated with the 2000 restructuring plan and ongoing
cost reduction efforts.
-9-
In 2001, International revenues decreased $72.3 million (8%) and operating
profit increased $2.4 million (7%) as compared to 2000. The decrease in revenues
was primarily a result of weak economic conditions during 2001 in the U.S. and
Asia-Pacific. Results for the Atlantic region in 2000 included a $2.9 million
restructuring charge (see discussion below). Although International operating
profit in 2001 was impacted by lower export volumes from the Asia-Pacific
region, cost savings from the previously mentioned 2000 restructuring plan and
continuing efforts to reduce overhead costs resulted in essentially flat profit
performance from 2000 to 2001 despite the decline in revenue.
The decrease in 2001 eliminations/other revenue was largely due to the
refocusing of certain U.S.-based logistics revenues from a global to an Americas
role.
Eliminations/other revenue in 2000 included $5.8 million of these logistics
revenues. Such revenues in 2001 are included within the Americas. Corporate and
other expense for 2001 decreased $19.4 million as compared to 2000. The
improvement was primarily due to lower global administrative expenses stemming
from cost control efforts, as well as the reclassification of the U.S.-based
logistics costs noted above. Corporate and other expense included goodwill
amortization of $7.4 million in 2001 and $7.5 million in 2000.
2000 Restructuring Plan
BAX Global finalized a restructuring plan in 2000 aimed at reducing the capacity
and cost of its airlift capabilities in the U.S. as well as reducing station
operating expenses, sales, general and administrative costs in the Americas and
Atlantic regions. The actions taken included:
o The removal of ten planes from the fleet, nine of which were dedicated to
providing lift capacity in BAX Global's commercial cargo system.
o The closure of nine operating stations and realignment of domestic
operations.
o The reduction of employee-related costs through the elimination of
approximately 300 full-time positions including aircraft crew and station
operating, sales and business unit overhead positions.
In addition, certain Atlantic region operations were streamlined in order to
reduce overhead costs and improve overall performance in that region. The
Atlantic region planned restructuring efforts involved severance costs and
station closing costs in the UK, Denmark, Italy and South Africa. Approximately
50 positions were eliminated, most of which were positions at or above manager
level.
The following is a summary of the 2000 restructuring charges:

million as a result of changes in the estimate of certain liabilities.
-10-
FORMER COAL OPERATIONS
During December 2002, the Company concluded its plan to sell or shut down its
coal mining operations. The Company recorded charges to both continuing
operations and discontinued operations in 2002 related to its former coal
operations.
Continuing Operations
The proposed sale of the Company's remaining West Virginia coal operations and
reserves did not occur in the fourth quarter 2002 as planned. The Company shut
down its West Virginia coal mining operations prior to the end of 2002 and is no
longer operating as an active coal producer. Residual assets have been
reclassified by the Company as held and used and were tested for impairment on
an individual property basis with a resulting net impairment loss of $14.1
million recorded within operating profit from continuing operations in 2002.
Prior to December 2002, the Company's expectation was to sell the majority of
the West Virginia assets as a group and, as such, these assets were not
previously considered to be impaired. The Company also accrued $5.1 million of
future lease payments related to advance royalty agreements associated with
properties it no longer believes will be transferred to purchasers.
Ongoing Expenses Related to Legacy Liabilities
After completing the disposal of its coal business, the Company has retained
certain coal-related liabilities and related expenses. Retained liabilities
include obligations related to postretirement benefits for Company-sponsored
plans, black lung benefits, reclamation and other costs related to idle
(shut-down) mines which have been retained, Health Benefit Act, workers'
compensation claims and costs of withdrawal from multi-employer pension plans.
Expenses related to these liabilities have been reflected in the loss from
discontinued operations through the disposal date. Subsequent to the completion
of the disposal process (for the period beginning January 1, 2003), adjustments
to coal-related contingent liabilities will be reflected in discontinued
operations, and expenses related to Company-sponsored pension and postretirement
benefit obligations and black lung obligations will be reflected in continuing
operations. In addition, subsequent to the disposal date, the Company expects to
have certain ongoing costs related to the administration of the retained
liabilities and will report those costs in continuing operations.
The following table reflects the Company's current estimates of projected
expenses for the next five years based on actuarial and operational assumptions
as of December 31, 2002. Such assumptions usually are adjusted annually and the
actual amount of expense reported in future periods may be materially different
than amounts presented below:

(a) Excludes operating lease payments, advance minimum royalty payments,
property taxes and insurance related to assets that are projected to be
sold. The timing of the sales and the amount of expenses each year of these
assets is not determinable. The above table does not include any potential
future adjustments to contingent liabilities or assets.
The above table does not include certain costs of assets expected to be sold.
Such costs may be significant in early 2003. Further, administrative and other
costs are expected to be incurred more heavily in early quarters of 2003.
The amounts to be ultimately recorded in 2004 and later years will be dependent
on many factors, including inflation in health care and other costs, discount
rates, the market value of pension plan assets, the number of participants in
various benefit programs, the number of idle mine sites ultimately transferred
and the timing of such transfers, and the amount of administrative costs needed
to manage the retained liabilities.
-11-
Discontinued Operations
Proceeds received from the sales transactions in 2002 approximated $88 million
including cash of $42 million, notes receivable of $8 million (six-month term),
$16 million representing the present value of royalties (five-year term, $20
million total payments), and liabilities assumed by the purchasers of
approximately $22 million.
The assets disposed of primarily included operations including coal reserves,
property, plant and equipment, the Company's economic interest in Dominion
Terminal Associates ("DTA") and inventory. Certain liabilities, primarily
reclamation costs related to properties disposed of, were assumed by the
purchasers.
The losses from discontinued operations in the Company's Consolidated Statements
of Operations were as follows:

- -------------------------------------------------------------------
Loss on the Disposal
During 2000, an estimated loss of $85.9 million was
recorded to reflect the difference between expected proceeds and the carrying
value of assets to be sold. During 2001, an estimated additional net loss of
$15.9 million was recorded to reflect changes in expected proceeds to be
received and changes in the expected values of assets and liabilities through
the anticipated dates of sale or shutdown. A $13.2 million reversal of the
previously estimated loss on sale was recorded during 2002 to reflect the final
adjustment based on the actual proceeds and values of assets and liabilities at
the dates of sale.
Operating Losses
Discontinued Operations accounting required the accrual of expenses expected to
be incurred through the end of the disposal period. Accordingly, operating
losses (including significant expenses the Company expects to retain and
classify in continuing operations subsequent to the disposal date related to
Company-sponsored pension and postretirement benefit obligations and black lung
obligations) were recognized within discontinued operations in different periods
than they would have been recorded if coal were a continuing operation. Total
recorded charges for Company-sponsored pension and postretirement benefit
obligations and black lung obligations were approximately $2 million, $53
million and $48 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The year 2000
included expenses incurred in 2000 and those expected to be incurred in 2001,
while 2001 (which included expenses expected to be incurred in 2002) included
only one year of expenses. The amount in 2002 represents the difference between
the estimated amount of expenses relating to 2002 that were accrued in 2001 and
the amount actually incurred in 2002. The increase in the average amount of
annual expense for 2002 (recorded in 2001) versus prior years primarily resulted
from the effects of actuarial assumption changes on postretirement medical and
pension benefits.
Estimated operating losses, including the above employee expenses, through the
originally anticipated period of disposal of $45.0 million were recorded in
2000.
The Company increased the estimated operating losses in 2001 by $22.2 million.
The $22.2 million increase included the effect of extending the anticipated
period of disposal through the end of 2002, which resulted in $53 million of
additional postretirement, pension, and black lung benefit expenses. Also
included in the $22.2 million increase was a refund of $23.4 million (including
interest) of Federal Black Lung Excise Tax ("FBLET") received during 2001 and an
accrual of $9.5 million for litigation settlements that were paid during early
2002.
-12-
The Company recorded an additional $28.1 million of operating losses during
2002, primarily reflecting worse-than-expected price, volume and costs per ton
of coal as a result of adverse coal market conditions during the year and the
sale of coal operations and reserves in 2002.
Health Benefit Act Liabilities and Curtailment of Benefit Plans
In 2000, the Company recorded a $161.7 million liability for its obligations
under the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1992 (the "Health Benefit
Act"). In 2002 and 2001, the Company recorded additional charges of $24.0
million and $8.0 million, respectively, to reflect changes in the estimates of
the undiscounted liability. This liability will be adjusted in future periods as
assumptions change.
The $24.0 million of additional 2002 expense primarily resulted from the
Company's being able to obtain and use Company-specific information regarding
the age of the beneficiaries covered by the Health Benefit Act rather than using
averages relating to the entire population of beneficiaries covered, slightly
higher per-beneficiary health care premiums, and slightly lower mortality than
was estimated at the end of 2001 for the plan year ended September 30, 2002.
The $8.0 million additional 2001 expense was primarily the result of a higher
number of assigned beneficiaries as of October 1, 2001 than was estimated at the
end of 2000. The Combined Fund premium per beneficiary for the plan year
beginning October 1, 2001 was essentially equal to that estimated at the end of
2000.
During 2000, the Company also recorded a net curtailment loss of $1.6 million,
comprising a $6.0 million net curtailment loss on the Company's medical benefit
plans and a $4.4 million net curtailment gain on the Company's pension plans.
Withdrawal Liabilities
At December 31, 2001, the Company recorded estimated withdrawal liabilities for
coal-related multi-employer pension plans of $8.2 million associated with its
planned exit from the coal business. At December 31, 2002, the Company increased
the estimated liabilities by $26.8 million to $35.0 million.
The estimated liabilities at December 31, 2002 increased because the funded
status of the multi-employer plans deteriorated as of the most recent
measurement date. The actual withdrawal liability, if any, is subject to several
factors, including funding and benefit levels of the plans as of annual
measurement dates (June 30 each year) and the date that the Company is
determined to have completely withdrawn from the plans. Accordingly, the
ultimate obligation could change materially.
Income Taxes
Income tax benefits attributable to the loss on the disposal of the discontinued
segment include the benefits of percentage depletion generated from the active
operations during the sale period.
Operating Performance of Former Coal Operations
Since estimated operating losses from the measurement date to the date of
disposal of the former coal operations were recorded as part of the estimated
loss on the disposal, actual operating results of operations during the disposal
period are not included in Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period
that they are earned. The following table shows selected financial information
for former coal operations during 2002, 2001 and 2000.
(In millions) 2002 2001 2000
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sales $ 266.5 384.0 401.0
Operating loss (77.5) (31.7) (37.0)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sales in 2002 of $266.5 million for the Company's former coal operations were
$117.5 million lower than in 2001 primarily due to a decrease in sales volume
because of weak demand in the coal industry and the sale of coal operations and
reserves in 2002. The operating loss of $77.5 million in 2002 was $45.8 million
higher than in 2001, primarily due to the lower sales volumes, lower Federal
Black Lung Excise Tax ("FBLET") refunds and higher benefit costs in 2002. See
"Liquidity and Capital Resources - Other Contingent Gains and Losses" for a
discussion of FBLET refunds.
Sales in 2001 for the discontinued coal operations decreased $17.0 million as
compared to 2000, primarily due to a decrease in volumes, partially offset by
higher realizations. The operating loss in 2001 of $31.7 million was $5.3
million lower than in 2000. Results in 2001 included a pretax gain on the
receipt of $23.4 million of FBLET refunds during the fourth quarter, partially
offset by increased costs associated with difficult geological conditions, an
accrual for litigation settlements of $9.5 million as well as higher idle and
closed mine costs.

OTHER OPERATIONS
Other Operations comprises the Company's gold, timber and natural gas
operations. The Company expects to exit these activities to focus resources on
its core Business and Security Services segments. The nature and timing of the
exit and any interim actions could result in gains or losses material to
operating results in one or more periods.

Gold
In the fourth quarter 2002, the Company entered into an agreement to negotiate
the sale of its interests in its gold mining joint ventures to MPI Mines Ltd.
("MPI"), a publicly traded equity affiliate in which the Company has a minority
interest, in exchange for additional shares of MPI and other consideration. The
transfer is contingent upon various factors. The Company does not presently
control MPI and does not expect to control MPI after the exchange.
The 4% increase in revenues for the Company's gold operations in 2002 resulted
from an 8% stronger Australian dollar compared to the U.S. dollar, partially
offset by a 4% decrease in the ounces of gold sold. Gold prices in U.S. dollar
terms were 8% higher in 2002 over 2001, however Australian dollar gold prices
were even with prior year due to the stronger Australian dollar. The 2002
operating loss reflected a $5.7 million impairment of long-lived assets and the
recognition of $1.4 million of previously deferred losses on certain gold
forward sales contracts. The losses on these contracts, which had previously
been accounted for as hedges, were recognized in earnings since the hedged
transactions were no longer deemed probable as a result of the potential
transfer of the Company's interest in its joint ventures to MPI.
Lower net sales for the Company's gold operations during 2001 as compared to
2000 primarily resulted from a decrease in ounces of gold sold and a strong U.S.
dollar, partially offset by higher gold realizations. The lower operating loss
in 2001 as compared to 2000 reflected the effects of a stronger U.S. dollar and
higher gold realizations, partially offset by a reduction in sales and
production volume. In addition, the operating loss in 2000 included expenses of
$0.4 million associated with the discontinuation of exploration activities in
Nevada and a charge of $1.1 million relating to the impairment of an open pit
project in Australia.
Timber
Revenues from the Company's timber operations are primarily from the sale of
wood chips, logs and lumber. Revenues for the Company's timber operations were
higher in 2002 as compared to 2001 primarily due to a 95% increase in the volume
of logs sold. In addition, higher revenues in 2002 resulting from a 12% increase
in the volume of wood chips sold were partially offset by a 12% decrease in the
volume of lumber sold. The improved operating results in 2002 were primarily due
to the higher revenues discussed above.
-14-
The increase in revenues from the Company's timber operations in 2001 as
compared to 2000 was primarily due to increased timber sales volumes, partially
offset by a decline in lumber prices. The increase in operating loss for 2001 as
compared to 2000 was largely the result of the lower lumber prices.
Natural Gas
The decrease in revenues and operating profit including royalty income from the
Company's natural gas operations in 2002 as compared to 2001 resulted from a 7%
reduction in natural gas prices and a 4% reduction in volumes sold. Prices of
natural gas increased in the fourth quarter of 2002 and were 15% higher than the
third quarter of 2002.
The increase in revenues and operating profit in 2001 compared to 2000 resulted
from higher natural gas prices and increases in productive assets.
FOREIGN OPERATIONS
A portion of the Company's financial results is derived from activities in over
100 countries, each with a local currency other than the U.S. dollar. Because
the financial results of the Company are reported in U.S. dollars, its results
are affected by changes in the value of the various foreign currencies in
relation to the U.S. dollar. Changes in exchange rates may also affect
transactions which are denominated in currencies other than the functional
currency. The diversity of foreign operations helps to mitigate a portion of the
impact that foreign currency fluctuations in any one country may have on the
translated results.
Brink's Venezuelan subsidiary was considered highly inflationary in 2000, 2001
and 2002, however Venezuela will no longer be treated as highly inflationary
effective January 1, 2003. The Company estimates that had Venezuela not been
treated as highly inflationary effective January 1, 2002, revenues in 2002 would
have decreased by $1.1 million and operating profit and pretax income would have
increased by $2.4 million and $1.9 million, respectively. It is possible that
Venezuela may be considered highly inflationary again at some time in the
future.
The Company is exposed to certain risks when it operates in highly inflationary
economies, including the risk that
o the rate of price increases for services will not keep pace with cost
inflation,
o adverse economic conditions in the highly inflationary country may
discourage business growth which could affect the demand for the
Company's services and;
o the devaluation of the currency may exceed the rate of inflation and reported
U.S dollars revenues and profits may decline.
The Company, from time to time, uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge
transactional risks associated with foreign currencies. (See "Market Risk
Exposures" below.)
The Company is also subject to other risks customarily associated with doing
business in foreign countries, including labor and economic conditions,
political instability, controls on repatriation of earnings and capital,
nationalization, expropriation and other forms of restrictive action by local
governments. The future effects, if any, of such risks on the Company cannot be
predicted.
CORPORATE EXPENSES
In 2002, general corporate expenses totaled $23.1 million compared with $19.3
million and $21.2 million in 2001 and 2000, respectively. Year-over-year
variances primarily reflected lower employee-related costs in 2001.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense decreased $9.3 million in 2002 and $11.0 million in 2001 as
compared to 2001 and 2000, respectively. These decreases were primarily due to
lower average borrowings and borrowing costs.
OTHER EXPENSE, NET
Other expense, net, of $2.6 million in 2002 decreased from $6.7 million in 2001,
primarily due to the receipt of $5.9 million in Stabilization Act compensation
in 2002, partially offset by a $3.9 million gain on the sale of marketable
securities in 2001.
-15-
Minority interest expense in 2002 decreased $3.6 million as compared to 2001.
Discounts and other fees associated with the sale of a revolving interest in
certain of BAX Global's accounts receivable decreased $2.4 million as a result
of lower borrowing costs of the conduit that purchased BAX Global's accounts
receivable. The discount on the sale of the receivables is based on its
conduits' borrowing costs.
Other expense, net, of $6.7 million in 2001 increased from $3.9 million in 2000,
primarily due to an increase of $3.4 million in discounts and other fees related
to BAX Global's accounts receivables (the securitization program began at the
end of 2000) and a $3.2 million increase in minority interest expense, partially
offset by a 2001 gain of $3.9 million on the sale of marketable securities.
INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes from continuing operations was greater than the
statutory federal rate primarily due to the changes in valuation allowances
($1.5 million in 2002, $1.3 million in 2001 and $1.8 million in 2000) related to
foreign deferred tax assets, and certain differences in foreign tax rates versus
the statutory federal tax rate. The 2002 effective tax rate was even with 2001,
reflecting the reversal of certain accruals for U.S. tax contingencies in 2002,
offset by the tax effects of the Company's change in the method of accounting
for goodwill (See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
In 2001 and 2000, the provision for income taxes from continuing operations was
greater than the statutory federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to
goodwill amortization, partially offset by lower taxes on foreign income. In
2000, the $57.5 million BAX Global restructuring charge and lower consolidated
pretax income caused non-deductible items (principally goodwill amortization) to
be a more significant factor in calculating the effective tax rate. As a result
of Coal Operations being reported as discontinued operations, the tax benefits
of percentage depletion are not reflected in the effective tax rate of
continuing operations.
Based on the Company's historical and future expected taxable earnings,
management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the
benefit of the deferred tax assets, net of the valuation allowance, recorded at
December 31, 2002.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Cash provided by operating activities was $78.8 million lower in 2002 than in
2001. The primary reason was an increase of $73.5 million in cash used by
discontinued operations as a result of higher losses from discontinued
operations. In addition, $40.7 million higher income from continuing operations
(before $17.5 million of after-tax impairment and other charges) was more than
offset by a $35.1 million contribution to the Company's primary U.S. pension
plan and the lower level of cash provided by changes in net working capital. The
after-tax impairment and other charges of $17.5 million were related to the
Company's former coal operations ($12.5 million) and its gold interests ($5.0
million).
Cash provided by net working capital in 2001 reflected lower receivable levels
at BAX Global associated with lower 2001 revenue. Higher cash used by the
Company's discontinued coal operations in 2002 was primarily related to higher
operating losses resulting from weak coal market conditions and the sale of coal
operations and reserves in 2002, lower FBLET refunds and the payment of
litigation settlements.
Changes in cash as a result of the Company's accounts receivable securitization
program are included in "changes in assets and liabilities" within operating
activities. The Company sold its initial interest in BAX Global's accounts
receivables for $85.0 million in 2000. During 2001, the net amount of revolving
interest sold decreased by $16.0 million to $69.0 million. During 2002, the net
amount of revolving interest sold increased by $3.0 million to $72.0 million.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-17-
Higher capital expenditures in 2002 as compared to 2001 were primarily due to an
increase in spending on armored vehicles, facilities and information technology
at Brink's and an increase in customer installations at BHS.
Aircraft heavy maintenance expenditures increased $15.5 million during 2002 as
compared to 2001 as a result of the timing of regularly scheduled maintenance
for airplanes. The Company expects to spend between $25 million and $35 million
on aircraft heavy maintenance in 2003.
Capital expenditures for continuing operations in 2003 are currently expected to
range from $200 million to $230 million, depending on operating results
throughout the year. Expected capital expenditures for 2003 reflect an increase
in customer installations at BHS and information technology spending at Brink's
and BAX Global.
Proceeds from Disposition of Assets and Investments
Proceeds from disposition of assets and investments in 2002 included
approximately $42 million of cash proceeds associated with the disposal of the
Company's former coal operations.

Comparison of 2002 and 2001
Cash flows before financing activities at Brink's in 2002 were above the 2001
period primarily due to an increase in cash generated by working capital during
2002, and an improvement in operating performance.
Cash flows before financing activities at BHS in 2002 increased slightly,
primarily due to higher operating profit and noncash depreciation in 2002,
partially offset by higher capital expenditures and deferred subscriber
acquisition costs associated with a higher number of installations.
The decrease in cash flows before financing activities at BAX Global in 2002 as
compared to 2001 is primarily due to $15.5 million of higher aircraft heavy
maintenance expenditures and a decrease in cash provided from changes in working
capital levels discussed above, partially offset by improved operating results
and lower capital expenditures. Cash flows before financing for BAX Global in
2001 included $3.9 million of proceeds from the sale of marketable securities.
Cash flows before financing for Corporate and Other Operations in the 2002
period reflect a contribution of $35.1 million to the Company's primary U.S.
pension plan.
Discontinued operations' cash flow before financing was lower in 2002 than 2001
primarily due to a larger operating loss resulting from weak coal market
conditions and the sale of coal operations and reserves in 2002, necessary
spending on the development of a deep mine, lower FBLET refunds and payments of
litigation settlements. Discontinued operations' cash flows before financing in
2001 included $23.4 million of FBLET refunds. Included in the discontinued
operations cash flows before financing are payments for benefits for inactive
coal employees, reclamation and other liabilities. Following the disposition of
its discontinued operations, the Company expects to continue to be liable for
such payments (See Significant Contractual Obligations below).
-18-
Comparison of 2001 to 2000
The improvement in cash flows before financing activities at Brink's in 2001 as
compared to 2000 was primarily due to higher cash generated by working capital,
partly offset by lower operating results in 2001. Cash flows before financing
activities at BHS in 2001 approximated those in 2000.
The improvement in cash flows before financing at BAX Global in 2001 over 2000
is primarily due to $62.1 million lower spending for capital expenditures and
aircraft heavy maintenance and a reduction in net working capital.
Discontinued operations' cash flow before financing in 2000 was higher than 2001
primarily as a result of a $44.4 million reduction in working capital used in
2000. Discontinued operations in 2001 included a $23.4 million refund of FBLET.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Net cash flows used by financing activities were $16.7 million for 2002 compared
with $101.7 million in 2001 and $124.5 million in 2000. The Company's cash
provided by financing activities are typically from short-term borrowings or
from net borrowings under the Company's revolving bank credit facility,
discussed below. The Company also borrowed $20 million during 2002 and $75
million during 2001 under long-term issuances of Senior Notes, as discussed
below. During 2002 the Company redeemed all outstanding shares of its
convertible preferred stock at an aggregate redemption price of $10.8 million.
Net cash flows used in financing activities in 2000 reflected repayments under a
bank credit facility (described below) with the proceeds from the sale of $85.0
million of accounts receivable at BAX Global, as well as from the proceeds of
increased borrowings in late 1999 and repayments of a portion of the debt of
Brink's France and Venezuela affiliates during 2000.
In September 2002, the Company entered into an unsecured $350 million bank
credit facility (the "Facility") which replaced the previous bank credit
agreement of $362.5 million. The Company may borrow on a revolving basis over a
three-year term ending September 2005. At December 31, 2002, $199.8 million was
available for borrowing under the Facility.
The Company has three unsecured multi-currency revolving bank credit facilities
that total $110 million in available credit, of which $43.5 million was
available at December 31, 2002 for additional borrowing. Various foreign
subsidiaries maintain other secured and unsecured lines of credit and overdraft
facilities with a number of banks.
Amounts borrowed under these agreements are included in short-term borrowings.
During November 2002, the Company entered into a new multi-currency facility
totaling $35 million and during December 2002, the Company renegotiated a $45
million multi-currency revolving bank facility (to replace an existing $60
million facility). These facilities are included in the $110 million noted
above.
In April 2002, the Company completed a $20.0 million private placement of 7.17%
Senior Notes with maturities ranging from four to six years. The Company also
has $75.0 million of Senior Notes issued in 2001, that are scheduled to be
repaid in 2005 through 2008. The Company has the option to prepay all or a
portion of the Notes prior to maturity with a prepayment penalty. The proceeds
from issuance of the Senior Notes were used to repay borrowings under the
Company's U.S. revolving bank credit facility in each year. The Notes are
unsecured.
-19-
The U.S. bank credit agreement, the agreement under which the Senior Notes were
issued and the multi-currency revolving bank credit facilities each contain
various financial and other covenants. The financial covenants limit the
Company's total indebtedness, provide for minimum coverage of interest costs,
and require the Company to maintain a minimum level of net worth. A failure to
comply with the terms of one of these loan agreements could result in the
acceleration of the repayment terms in that agreement as well as the Company's
other agreements. At December 31, 2002, the Company was in compliance with all
financial covenants.
The Company believes it has adequate sources of liquidity to meet its near-term
requirements.
As of December 31, 2002, debt as a percentage of capitalization (total debt and
shareholders' equity) was 49% compared to 38% at December 31, 2001. The increase
was due to $95 million lower equity and $61 million higher debt. The Company
recorded a $131 million charge to equity in 2002 related to minimum pension
liabilities. The Company also reclassified $43 million associated with DTA to
long-term debt in 2002 from other liabilities. See Notes 11 and 12.
During 2002, 2001 and 2000, the Company paid dividends on Pittston Common Stock
of $5.2 million ($0.10 per share), $5.1 million ($0.10 per share) and $5.0
million ($0.10 per share), respectively. In 2002, 2001, and 2000, dividends paid
on the Convertible Preferred Stock amounted to $0.5 million, $0.7 million and
$0.9 million, respectively.
Future regular dividends are dependent on the Company's earnings, financial
condition, cash flow and business requirements and must be declared by the
Board. At present, the annual dividend rate for Pittston Common Stock is $0.10
per share. In February 2003, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of
$0.025 per share on Pittston Common Stock, payable on March 3, 2003 to
shareholders of record on February 18, 2003.
Under a share repurchase program authorized by the Board, the Company purchased
$2.2 million of Convertible Preferred Stock during 2000 and redeemed all its
outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock for $10.8 million in 2002. See
Capitalization below for further information on the Company's share repurchase
program.

from coal-related multi-employer pension plans. The timing and the actual
amount to be paid, if any, will be based on the funded status of the plans
as of the beginning of the plan year that a withdrawal has deemed to have
occurred.
Pension Plans
The Company has noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering
substantially all nonunion employees in the U.S. who meet certain requirements.
Information regarding these plans and the Company's other pension plans can be
found in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Due to the continuing weak performance of U.S. and international investment
markets during 2002, the Company made a voluntary contribution of $35.1 million
to its primary U.S. pension plan trust in September 2002.
Based on the plan's liabilities and asset position as of December 31, 2002 as
well as actuarial assumptions as of that date, there is no requirement for the
Company to contribute additional amounts through 2005, but it could be required
to make significant contributions after 2005.
Funding requirements depend on applicable regulations and laws, future returns
on plan assets and future discount rates and other factors. The Company may
elect to contribute to its U.S. pension plan prior to any future required
funding date. Amounts which are required to be funded in future periods could
change materially from current estimates.
As discussed in Results of Operations, each of the Company's business segments
and its former coal operations expects to report higher pension expense in 2003.
On a consolidated basis, the increase in pension expense for 2003 is expected to
be approximately $23 million, including $6 million related to former coal
operations. The Company also expects approximately $13 million in average
increases in each of 2004 and 2005 based on assumptions as of December 31, 2002.
For additional information regarding the assumptions that the Company has used
to project further pension expense, see "Application of Critical Accounting
Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements."

Accounts Receivable Securitization
At December 31, 2002, the Company has sold an undivided interest in certain of
its BAX Global U.S. accounts receivable balances, which amounts are not included
in the Consolidated Balance Sheets or in the previous table. See Note 13 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements. Under this program, the Company sells without
recourse an undivided ownership interest in a pool of accounts receivable to a
third party (the "conduit"). The conduit issues debt to fund their purchase, and
the Company used the proceeds it received from the initial purchase primarily to
pay down its outstanding debt. The Company has no obligation related to the
conduit's debt, and there is no existing obligation to repurchase sold
receivables. Upon termination of the program, the conduit would cease purchasing
new receivables and collections related to the sold receivables would be
retained by the conduit. If the program is terminated, the Company would more
than likely use its credit sources to finance the higher level of receivables.
Surety Bonds
The Company is required by various state and federal laws to provide security
with regard to its obligations to pay workers' compensation, to reclaim lands
used for mining by the Company's former coal operations and to satisfy other
benefits. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had outstanding surety bonds with
third parties totaling approximately $235 million that it has arranged in order
to satisfy the various security requirements. Most of these bonds provide
financial security for previously recorded liabilities. Because some of the
Company's reclamation obligations have been assumed by purchasers of the
Company's former coal operations, $67 million of the Company's surety bonds are
expected to be replaced by purchasers' surety bonds. These bonds are typically
renewable on a yearly basis, however there can be no assurance the bonds will be
renewed or that premiums in the future will not increase. If the surety bonds
are not renewed, the Company believes that it has adequate available borrowing
capacity under its U.S. credit facility to provide letters of credit or other
collateral to secure its obligations.
-23-
LEGACY LIABILITIES AND ASSETS
Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), some of the
Company's assets and liabilities from its former coal operations ("Legacy"
assets and liabilities) are not fully recorded on the balance sheet because
certain losses have been deferred. In addition, some of the liabilities under
GAAP are discounted to reflect a present value, while others have not been
discounted. To facilitate an understanding of the estimated present value of the
Company's legacy liabilities as of December 31, 2002, the following table
presents a "Legacy Value" that includes the full value of the Company's
liabilities, discounted to a present value (for those liabilities with extended
payment dates). PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT A GAAP PRESENTATION AND THIS TABLE
SHOULD ONLY BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
The Legacy Values are considered non-GAAP measures, and the table below
reconciles each Legacy Value to its GAAP counterpart.

- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(a) Company-sponsored retiree medical liabilities are accounted for in the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with SFAS No. 106,
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions."
Generally, SFAS No. 106 requires a liability be recorded for the present
value of future obligations, although SFAS No. 106 requires an exception for
actuarial gains and losses. Actuarial gains and losses occur as a result of
actual events differing from assumptions and changes in assumptions used to
estimate the liability, including assumptions as to the discount rate used
to compute the present value, expected health care inflation rates and life
expectancy rates. Actuarial gains and losses are not immediately recognized
in earnings because SFAS No. 106 requires employers to defer these gains and
losses and then amortize these gains and losses into earnings in future
periods if the total unrecognized net gains and losses exceed 10% of the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation. As a result, the Company's
balance sheet does not reflect these liabilities at the full present value
of the ultimate projected obligations at the end of the year. The Legacy
Value in the table reflects the Company's liability had the Company's total
projected obligations been fully accrued at the end of the year. The Company
discloses the projected amount of its obligation before the required
deferral of unrecognized gains and losses as "accumulated plan benefit
obligation" in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
(b) Health Benefit Act liabilities are accounted for in accordance with EITF No.
92-13, "Accounting for Estimated Payments in Connection with the Coal
Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1992" and accordingly, the Company
has accrued the undiscounted estimate of its projected obligation. As
discussed in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company
uses various assumptions to estimate its liability to The United Mine
Workers of America Combined Fund (the "Combined Fund") for future annual
premiums, including the number of assigned and unassigned beneficiaries in
future periods, medical inflation, and the amount of funding of the Combined
Fund to be provided from the Abandoned Mine Reclamation Fund in future
periods. The estimated annual payments are expected to be paid out over the
next seventy or more years. To determine its Legacy Value, the Company's
actuaries discounted the estimated future cash flows to a present value
amount using a discount rate of 6.75%. The Company's estimates of annual
payments may change materially due to changes in future assumptions.
Statutory changes to the 1992 law under which such benefits are paid also
could materially affect the Company's estimate of its liability in the
future. The estimation of the Legacy Value should not be considered a
precise estimate because of the many variables that have been used to
determine the estimate, including the discount rate and the amount of
expected annual cash flows. There are many factors that may change and cause
the amount recorded in the balance sheet to not be representative of the
amount the Company may actually pay.
-24-
(c) Actuarial gains and losses resulting from changes in estimates of the Company's
black lung liabilities are deferred and amortized into earnings in future
periods. As a result, the Company's balance sheet does not report these
liabilities as if the Company's projected obligation had been fully accrued
at the end of the year. The Legacy Value in the table reflects the Company's
projected obligations had it been fully accrued at the end of the year. Of
the Company's $60.0 million of present value of self-insured black lung
benefit obligations at December 31, 2002, approximately $45.4 million had
been recognized on the balance sheet, with the difference relating to
deferred unrecognized actuarial losses (see Note 15 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements).
(d) Legacy liabilities above exclude the Company's estimated withdrawal
obligations of $35.0 million from coal-related multi-employer pension plans.
The timing and actual amount to be paid, if any, will be based on the funded
status of the plans as of the beginning of the plan year in which a
withdrawal has deemed to have occurred. See "Results of Operations - Former
Coal Operations" and "Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Recent
Accounting Pronouncements."
(e) The Legacy Value table includes the Company's significant long-term
coal-related assets and liabilities. Other shorter-term coal-related assets
and liabilities have been excluded from the total amount of the Legacy Value
table.
(f) The Company has not yet taken deductions in its tax returns for most of the
accrued legacy liabilities. The Company has recorded a deferred tax asset
for the amount of taxes on future taxable income it will not have to pay
resulting from the payment/tax deductions of the legacy liabilities. An
estimate of the incremental tax effect of the pretax reconciling items have
been included in the deferred tax assets (Legacy Value basis) assuming a 35%
incremental tax rate.
The above estimated Legacy Value and GAAP amounts are as of December 31, 2002.
These estimated amounts will be adjusted annually to reflect actual experience,
annual actuarial revaluations and periodic revaluations of reclamation
liabilities. The amounts are based on a variety of estimates, including
actuarial assumptions, as described below in the Application of Critical
Accounting Policies and in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Under the Health Benefit Act, the Company and various subsidiaries are jointly
and severally liable for approximately $386 million, at Legacy Value, of
postretirement medical and Health Benefit Act obligations in the above table.
OTHER CONTINGENT GAINS AND LOSSES
Federal Black Lung Excise Tax ("FBLET")
On February 10, 1999, the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of
Virginia entered a final judgment in favor of certain of the Company's
subsidiaries, ruling that the FBLET is unconstitutional as applied to export
coal sales. A total of $0.8 million (including interest) was refunded in 1999
for the FBLET that those companies paid for the first quarter of 1997. The
Company sought refunds of the FBLET it paid on export coal sales for all open
statutory periods and received refunds of $23.4 million (including interest)
during the fourth quarter of 2001. During the fourth quarter of 2002, the
Company reached a settlement under which it will collect additional refunds of
$3.2 million.
The Company continues to pursue the refund of other FBLET payments. Due to
uncertainty as to the ultimate additional future amounts to be received, if any,
which could amount to as much as $18 million (before income taxes), as well as
the timing of any additional FBLET refunds, the Company has not currently
recorded receivables for such other FBLET refunds.
Environmental Remediation
The Company has agreed to pay 80% of the remediation costs arising from
hydrocarbon contamination at a formerly owned petroleum terminal facility
("Tankport") in Jersey City, New Jersey, which was sold in 1983. The Company is
in the process of remediating the site under an approved plan. The Company
estimates its portion of the actual remaining clean-up and operational and
maintenance costs, on an undiscounted basis, to be between $2.2 million and $4.3
million. The Company is in discussions with another potentially responsible
party to recover a portion of the amount paid and to be paid by the Company
related to this matter.
Litigation
The Company is defending potentially significant civil suits relating to its
former coal business. Although the Company is defending these cases vigorously
and believes that its defenses have merit, there exists the possibility that one
or more of these suits ultimately may be decided in favor of the plaintiffs. If
so, the Company expects that the ultimate amount of unaccrued losses could range
from $0 to $25 million.
-25-
CAPITALIZATION
At December 31, 2002, the Company had 100 million shares of Pittston Common
Stock authorized and 54.3 million shares issued and outstanding. The Company has
the remaining authority to purchase up to 1.0 million shares of Pittston Common
Stock with an aggregate purchase price limitation of $19.1 million. The Company
made no such purchases during 2002.
The Company has the authority to issue up to 2.0 million shares of preferred
stock, par value $10 per share.
2000 ACCOUNTING CHANGE
Pursuant to guidance issued in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements," by the Securities and Exchange Commission
in December 1999, and a related interpretation issued in October 2000, BHS
changed its method of accounting for nonrefundable installation revenues and a
portion of the related direct costs of obtaining new subscribers (primarily
sales commissions). Under the new method, all of the nonrefundable installation
revenues and a portion of the new installation costs deemed to be direct costs
of subscriber acquisition are deferred and recognized in income over the
estimated term of the subscriber relationship. Prior to 2000, BHS charged
against earnings as incurred, all marketing and selling costs associated with
obtaining new subscribers and recognized as revenue all nonrefundable payments
received from such subscribers to the extent that costs exceeded such revenues.
The accounting change was implemented in 2000 and the Company reported a
noncash, after-tax charge of $52.0 million ($84.7 million pretax), to reflect
the cumulative effect of the accounting change on years prior to 2000. The
pretax cumulative effect charge of $84.7 million comprised a net deferral of
$121.1 million of revenues partially offset by $36.4 million of customer
acquisition costs. The change in accounting principle decreased operating profit
for 2000 by $2.3 million, reflecting a net decrease in revenues of $6.4 million
and a net decrease in operating expenses of $4.1 million. Net income for 2000
was reduced by $1.4 million ($0.03 per diluted share).
MARKET RISK EXPOSURES
The Company has activities in over 100 countries and a number of different
industries. These operations expose the Company to a variety of market risks,
including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest
rates. In addition, the Company consumes and sells certain commodities in its
businesses, exposing it to the effects of changes in the prices of such
commodities. These financial and commodity exposures are monitored and managed
by the Company as an integral part of its overall risk management program.
The Company utilizes various derivative and non-derivative hedging instruments,
as discussed below, to hedge its foreign currency, interest rate, and commodity
exposures when appropriate. The risk that counterparties to such instruments may
be unable to perform is minimized by limiting the counterparties used to major
financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings. Management of the
Company does not expect any losses due to such counterparty default.
The Company maintains a control system to monitor changes in interest rate,
foreign currency and commodity exposures that may adversely impact expected
future cash flows. The risk management control systems involve the use of
analytical techniques to estimate the expected impact of changes in interest
rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices on the Company's
future cash flows. The Company does not use derivative instruments for purposes
other than hedging.
The sensitivity analyses discussed below for the market risk exposures were
based on facts and circumstances in effect at December 31, 2002. Actual results
will be determined by a number of factors that are not under management's
control and could vary materially from those disclosed.
INTEREST RATE RISK
The Company uses both fixed and floating rate debt denominated primarily in U.S.
dollars to finance its operations. Floating rate debt obligations, including the
Company's U.S. bank credit facility, expose the Company to fluctuations in
interest expense due to changes in the general level of interest rates. To a
lesser extent, the Company uses debt denominated in foreign currencies,
primarily including euros and British pounds.
-26-
In order to limit the variability of the interest expense on its debt, the
Company has converted the floating rate cash flows on a portion ($65.0 million
effective through September 2003 and $50.0 million effective September 2003
through August 2005) of its $350.0 million revolving credit facility to
fixed-rate cash flows by entering into interest rate swap agreements which
involve the exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest
payments. The fair value liability of these interest swaps at December 31, 2002
was $2.4 million. In addition to the interest rate swaps, the Company also has
fixed rate debt, including the Company's Senior Notes. The fixed rate debt and
interest rate swaps are subject to fluctuations in their fair values as a result
of changes in interest rates.
Based on the effective interest rates on the floating rate debt outstanding at
December 31, 2002, a hypothetical 10% increase in these rates would increase
interest expense by approximately $0.5 million over a twelve-month period. (In
other words, the Company's weighted average interest rate on its floating rate
debt was 3.68% per annum at December 31, 2002. If that average rate were to
increase by 37 basis points to 4.05%, the interest expense associated with these
borrowings would increase by $0.5 million annually). The effect on the fair
value of fixed rate debt and interest rate swaps for a hypothetical 10% uniform
shift (as a percentage of market interest rates) in the yield curves for
interest rates in various countries from year-end 2002 levels is not material.
FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK
The Company, primarily through its Brink's and BAX Global operations, has
certain exposures to the effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the
results of foreign operations which are reported in U.S. dollars.
The Company is exposed periodically to the foreign currency rate fluctuations
that affect transactions not denominated in the functional currency of domestic
and foreign operations. To mitigate these exposures, the Company, from time to
time, enters into foreign currency forward contracts.
The Company does not purchase derivative instruments to hedge investments in
foreign subsidiaries due to their long-term nature.
The effects of a hypothetical simultaneous 10% appreciation in the U.S. dollar
from year-end 2002 levels against all other currencies of countries in which the
Company operates were measured for their potential impact on, (i) translation of
earnings into U.S. dollars based on 2002 results, (ii) transactional exposures,
and (iii) translation of investments in foreign subsidiaries. The hypothetical
effects would be approximately (i) $3.6 million unfavorable for the translation
of net income into U.S. dollars, (ii) $2.6 million favorable net income effect
for transactional exposures, and (iii) $33.1 million unfavorable change to the
Company's cumulative translation adjustment (equity).
COMMODITIES PRICE RISK
The Company consumes and sells various commodities in the normal course of its
business and, from time to time, utilizes derivative instruments to minimize the
variability in forecasted cash flows due to price movements in these
commodities. The derivative contracts are entered into in accordance with
guidelines set forth in the Company's hedging policies.
The Company utilizes forward swap contracts for the purchase of jet fuel to fix
a portion of forecasted jet fuel costs at specific price levels and it utilizes
option strategies to hedge a portion of the remaining risk associated with jet
fuel. In most cases, the Company is able to adjust its pricing through the use
of surcharges on customers to partially offset large increases in the cost of
jet fuel.
The Company utilizes forward sales contracts and option strategies to hedge the
selling price on a portion of its forecasted natural gas and gold sales.
The following table represents the Company's outstanding commodity hedge
contracts as of December 31, 2002. Amounts presented as the fair value after a
hypothetical 10% change in commodity prices reflect a hypothetical 10% reduction
in the future price of jet fuel and a hypothetical 10% increase in the future
prices of gold and natural gas.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The application of accounting principles requires the use of estimates and
judgments which are the responsibility of management. Management makes such
estimates and judgments based on, among other things, knowledge of operations,
markets, historical trends and likely future changes, similarly situated
businesses and, when appropriate, the opinions of advisors with knowledge and
experience in certain fields. Many assumptions, judgments and estimates are
straightforward. However, due to the nature of certain assets and liabilities,
there are uncertainties associated with some of the judgments, assumptions and
estimates which are required to be made. Reported results could have been
materially different under a different set of assumptions and estimates for
certain accounting principle applications.
Management has discussed the development and selection of the following critical
accounting estimates with the Audit and Ethics Committee of the Board of
Directors and the Audit and Ethics Committee has reviewed the Company's
disclosure relating to such estimates.
DEFERRED TAX ASSETS
It is common for companies to record expenses and accruals before such expenses
and costs are paid. In the U.S. and most other countries and tax jurisdictions,
many deductions for tax return purposes cannot be taken until the expenses are
paid.
Similarly, certain tax credits and tax loss carryforwards cannot be used until
future periods when sufficient taxable income is generated. In these
circumstances, under GAAP, companies accrue for the tax benefit expected to be
received in future years if, in the judgment of management, it is "more likely
than not" that the company will receive such benefits. Such benefits (deferred
tax assets) are often offset, in whole or in part, by the effects of deferred
tax liabilities which relate primarily to deductions available for tax return
purposes under existing tax laws and regulations before such expenses are
reported as expenses under GAAP.
As of December 31, 2002, the Company had in excess of $400 million of net
deferred tax assets on its consolidated balance sheet. For more details
associated with this net balance, see Note 17 to the accompanying Consolidated
Financial Statements.
Since there is no absolute assurance that these assets will be ultimately
realized, management periodically reviews the Company's deferred tax positions
to determine if it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized.
Such periodic reviews include, among other things, the nature and amount of the
tax income and expense items, the expected timing when certain assets will be
used or liabilities will be required to be reported and the reliability of
historical profitability of businesses expected to provide future earnings.
Furthermore, management considers tax-planning strategies it can employ in order
to increase the likelihood that the use of tax assets will be achieved. These
strategies are also considered in the periodic reviews. If after conducting such
a review, management determines that the realization of the tax asset does not
meet the "more-likely-than-not" criteria, an offsetting valuation reserve is
recorded thereby reducing net earnings and the deferred tax asset in that
period. For these reasons and since changes in estimates can materially effect
net earnings, management believes the accounting estimate related to deferred
tax asset valuation reserves is a "critical accounting estimate."
Of the net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2002, approximately 92% relates
to the Company's operations in the U.S., including individual state tax
jurisdictions.
-28-
Because of its expectation that the historically reliable profitability of the
Company's U.S. portion of the Business and Security Services operations will
continue and the lengthy period over which certain of the recorded expenses will
become available for deduction on tax returns, management has concluded that it
is more likely than not that these net deferred tax assets will be realized.
For international operations, the Company has evaluated its ability to fully
utilize the net assets on an individual country basis and due to doubts in
certain countries about whether future operating performance will be profitable
enough to offset prior tax losses, the Company has recorded a $9.8 million
valuation allowance at December 31, 2002.
Should tax statutes, the timing of deductibility of expenses, or if expectations
for future performance change in the future, the Company could decide to record
additional valuation allowances, thereby increasing the tax provision.
GOODWILL AND PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT VALUATIONS
At December 31, 2002, the Company has $871 million of property and equipment and
$228 million of goodwill, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. The
Company reviews the assets for possible impairment using the guidance in SFAS
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," for goodwill and SFAS No. 144,
"Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets," for property
and equipment. The review for impairment requires the use of significant
judgments about the future performance of the Company's operating subsidiaries.
Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually. The Company estimates the
fair value of Brink's and BAX Global, the two reporting units that have
goodwill, primarily using estimates of future cash flows. The fair value of the
reporting unit is compared to its carrying value to determine if an impairment
exists. At December 31, 2002, net goodwill was $65 million at Brink's and $163
million at BAX Global.
To determine if an impairment exists of property and equipment, the Company
compares estimates of the future undiscounted net cash flows of the asset to its
carrying value when there is a triggering event for a review. For purposes of
assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are
identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other
groups of assets.
Due to a history of profitability and cash flow, the carrying values of
long-lived assets of Brink's are believed to be appropriate.
Each quarter, when BHS customers disconnect their monitoring service, BHS
records an impairment charge related to the carrying value of the related home
security systems estimated to be permanently disconnected based on historical
reconnection experience. Such charge is included within the Recurring Services
component of operating profit. BHS makes estimates about future reconnection
experience in its estimate of impairment charges. Future reconnection experience
is estimated using historical data. Should the estimate of future reconnection
experience change, BHS's impairment charges would be affected.
-29-
BAX Global had a profit in 2002 and losses in 2001 and 2000. Changes to the
Company's operations, resources used, and cost structure in 2000 resulted in a
trend of improved year-over-year operating results in each of the last two
years, despite a significant decline in revenue from 2000. In management's
opinion, the changes implemented at BAX Global plus a return to more normal
levels of global economic performance will result in substantial improvement in
operating performance and cash flow over time. Based on this judgment, the
Company prepared multi-year projections of operating performance for BAX Global,
which it used to estimate fair value and undiscounted cash flow, neither of
which indicated impairment.
Had the Company expected no long-term improvement in the performance of BAX
Global, or a worsening of conditions at the Company's other subsidiaries, the
Company may have concluded that its goodwill or fixed assets were impaired and,
in such circumstances, would have reduced the carrying values of such assets and
recognized a loss.
As required by SFAS No. 144, certain residual long-lived assets associated with
the Company's former coal operations were reclassified from assets of
discontinued operations to assets held and used at December 31, 2002. These
assets were tested for impairment on an individual property basis with a
resulting net impairment loss of $14.1 million recorded within operating profit
from continuing operations. Prior to December 2002, the Company's expectation
was to sell the majority of these assets as a group and, as such, the assets
were not previously considered to be impaired. Different estimates of the net
realizable value of the residual coal assets could have materially affected the
net impairment loss recorded.
COAL-RELATED LEASE OBLIGATIONS
The Company has not accrued approximately $26 million of future minimum lease
and royalty payments related to the equipment and idle coal mines and reserves
which management believes will be sold. If the Company is unable to transfer its
commitments to buyers of these assets, the Company will recognize the
obligations as liabilities, with a charge to earnings.
WITHDRAWAL LIABILITIES
The Company recorded an estimate of the value of potential withdrawal
obligations for coal-related multi-employer pension plans in 2001 associated
with its exit from the coal business. During the fourth quarter of 2002, the
Company increased the estimated withdrawal liabilities to $35.0 million. The
withdrawal liabilities were estimated by the Company using a formula that
depends on the funded status of the multi-employer pension plans at the time
that the Company is deemed to have withdrawn from the plans.
-30-
The $35 million for the estimated withdrawal liabilities is based on the funded
status of the plan as of June 30, 2002. The Company expects that its actual
withdrawal liability for each of the plans will be based on the funded status of
the plans as of June 30, 2003 or possibly later.
The estimate may change materially each year until the Company is deemed to have
withdrawn from the plan. Annual changes in this estimate will be recorded in
discontinued operations.
MULTI-YEAR EMPLOYEE AND RETIREE BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS
The Company provides its employees and retirees benefits arising from both
Company-sponsored plans (e.g. defined benefit pension plans) and statutory
requirements (e.g. medical benefits for otherwise ineligible former employees
and non employees under the Health Benefit Act). Certain of these benefit
obligations require payments to be made by the Company or by trusts funded by
the Company over long periods of time.
The primary benefits which require cash payments over an extended period of
years are:
o Defined Benefit Pension
o Postretirement Medical
o Health Benefit Act Medical
o Black Lung
As is normal for such benefits, cash payments will be made for periods ranging
from the current year to well over fifty years from now for certain benefits.
The amount of such payments and related expenses will be affected over time by
inflation, investment returns and market interest rates, changes in the numbers
of plan participants and changes in the benefit obligations and/or laws and
regulations covering the benefit obligations.
GAAP requires that the Company reevaluate all significant benefit obligations at
least annually, and as a result of such reevaluations, the Company records
increases or decreases in liabilities and associated expenses over time as
required under GAAP.
Below are the critical assumptions that determine the carrying values of such
liabilities and the resulting annual expense. The plans that are affected by the
assumptions discussed are identified parenthetically in the relevant title.
-31-
Discount Rate (Pension Plans, Postretirement Medical Benefits Under
Company-Sponsored Plans and "Black Lung" Benefits)
The discount rate is used to determine the present value of future payments.
This rate reflects returns expected from high-quality bonds and will fluctuate
over time with market interest rates. In general, the Company's liability
changes in an inverse relationship to interest rates, i.e. the lower the
discount rate, the higher the associated liability for the noted benefit
obligations.
The Company selects a discount rate for its pension liabilities after reviewing
published long-term yield information for a small number of high quality fixed
income securities (Moody's AA bond yields), yields for the broader range of
long-term high quality securities and a calculated plan-specific rate of return
developed by its actuaries using long-term high quality bonds with similar
maturities to the liability. After considering the above, the Company selected a
discount rate of 6.75% for the valuation as of December 2002. A year ago, such
discount rate was 7.25%.
Calculations of net periodic pension expense are based on the assumptions used
for the previous year-end measurements of plan assets and obligations.
Accordingly, the discount rate selected at the end of each year affects the
pension expense in the following year. In general, the lower the discount rate,
the higher the calculated expense. If the discount rate were to decrease by 25
basis points, the related expense would increase by approximately $3 million
before tax in 2002.
Under government regulations, funding requirements for the Company's primary
U.S. pension plan are determined using a different set of assumptions than is
used for financial accounting purposes. Near term funding requirements would,
therefore, not be affected unless interest rates declined sharply.
Return on Assets (Pension Plan)
The Company's primary defined benefit pension plan had assets at December 31,
2002 of approximately $431 million. This pension plan's assets are invested
primarily using actively managed accounts with asset allocation targets of 70%
equities, which include a broad array of market cap sizes and investment styles
and international equities, and 30% fixed income securities. Among other
factors, the performance of asset groups and investment managers will affect the
long-term rate of return. Pension accounting principles require companies to use
estimates of expected asset returns over long periods of time. The Company
selects the expected long-term rate of return assumption using advice from its
investment advisor and its actuary considering the plan's asset allocation
targets and expected overall investment manager performance and a review of its
most recent ten year historical average compounded rate of return. After
following the above process, the Company selected 8.75% as its expected
long-term rate of return as of December 31, 2002. The expected long-term rate
was 10.0% as of December 31, 2001.
Because returns from global financial markets fluctuate, it is unlikely that in
any given year, the actual rate of return will be the same as the assumed
long-term rate of return. In general, if actual returns exceed the expected
long-term rate of return, future levels of expense will go down and vice-versa.
The Company's assumed long-term rate of return is 8.75% as of December 31, 2002.
Over the last ten years, the annual returns of the Company's primary pension
plan have fluctuated from a high of a 25% gain (1995) to a low of a 9% loss
(2002). During that time period there were six years in which returns exceeded
the assumed long-term rate of return and four years, including the last three
years, with returns below the assumed long-term rate of return.
-32-
If the Company were to use a different long-term rate of return assumption, it
would affect annual pension expense but would have no immediate effect on
funding requirements. For every hypothetical change of 25 basis points in the
assumed long-term rate of return on plan assets, the Company's U.S. annual
pension plan expense in 2002 would increase or decrease by approximately $1.3
million before tax.
The Company calculates expected investment returns by applying the expected
long-term rate of return to the market-related value of plan assets. The
market-related value of plan assets is calculated by deferring and amortizing
investment gains or losses on a straight-line basis over five years. Investment
gain or loss for each year is the difference between the actual return and the
expected return calculated using the beginning market-related asset value less
non-investment expenses and the expected long-term rate of return. Each year's
gain or loss is then amortized over five years.
The Company has had significant investment losses in the last three years that
have not yet fully affected pension expense. The Company expects its pension
expense will increase in the next several years because of the amortization of
investment gains and losses.
The offset (or "credit") to expense associated with the assumed investment
return fluctuates based on the level of plan assets (over time, the higher the
level of assets, the higher the credit and vice versa) and the assumed rate of
return (the higher the rate, the higher the credit and vice versa). Plan assets
for the Company's primary defined benefit plan have declined by approximately
$28 million in 2002 and $122 million over the three years ended December 31,
2002 as a result of general investment market conditions. In addition, the plan
paid out approximately $25 million in benefits and the Company contributed $35
million to plan assets during the same time period. With the reduction in plan
assets in 2002 and the expected rate of return, the investment credit is
expected to decline by $8.5 million in 2003. This will have the effect of
increasing the Company's net pension expense.
Inflation Assumptions on Salary Levels (Pension Plan) and Medical Inflation
(Postretirement Medical Benefits, Health Benefit Act Medical Benefits)
Pension expense and liabilities will vary with the expected rate of salary
increases - the higher or lower the annual increase, the higher or lower the
liability and expense. The Company expects its salary increase assumption to
remain at or about 5.1%, assuming current rates of inflation.
Changes in medical inflation will affect liability and expense amounts
differently for the three plans noted. There is a direct link between medical
inflation and expected spending for postretirement medical benefits under the
Company's plan for 2003 and for later years. Future cash payments associated
with the Health Benefit Act will reflect some but not all of the effect of
medical inflation as a result of statutory limitations on premium growth.
With the increase in medical inflation seen over the last few years, the Company
raised the assumed level of inflation in its plans in 2001 and again in 2002.
Because of the volatility of medical inflation it is likely that there will be
future adjustments, although the direction and extent of such adjustments cannot
be predicted at the present time.
Numbers of Participants (All Plans)
The valuations of all of these benefit plans are affected by the life expectancy
of the participants. Accordingly, the Company relies on actuarial information to
predict the number and life expectancy of participants. Further, due to the
complexity of the contractual relationship with the United Mine Workers of
America ("UMWA") for postretirement medical benefits and the application of
regulations associated with the Health Benefit Act, the Company's related
liability and expense has and will continue to fluctuate as new participants are
made known to the Company and as the Company and others investigate such
applications. As a result, the Company's liabilities under its plans will vary
as the expected number and life expectancy of participants change.
-33-
Changes in Laws
The Company's valuations of its liabilities are determined under existing laws
and regulations. Changes in laws and regulations which affect the ultimate level
of liabilities and expense are reflected once the changes are final and their
impact can be reasonably estimated. Recent changes in black lung regulations
could increase the Company's total liability. Future changes in laws directed at
reducing national levels of medical inflation or changing the funding available
for medical benefits (e.g. proposals for coverage of pharmaceuticals under
Medicare) could significantly reduce the Company's ultimate liability for
certain postretirement medical benefits.
WORKERS' COMPENSATION
Besides the effects of changes in medical costs, workers' compensation costs are
affected by the severity and types of injuries, changes in state and federal
regulations and their application and the quality of programs which assist an
employee's return to work. The Company's liability for future payments for
workers' compensation claims is evaluated annually with the assistance of its
actuary.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," was issued in June
2001 and addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated
with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset
retirement costs. SFAS No. 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for
an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it becomes
an obligation, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The Company
will adopt SFAS No. 143 in the first quarter of 2003. The implementation of the
new standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's results
of operations or financial position.
SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,
" was issued in June 2002 and applies to costs associated with an exit activity
(including restructuring) or with a disposal of long-lived assets. This
statement nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, "Liability
Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to
Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." Under
SFAS No. 146, a commitment to a plan to exit an activity or dispose of
long-lived assets will no longer be sufficient to record a charge for most
anticipated costs. Instead, a liability for costs associated
with an exit or disposal activity will be recorded when that liability is
incurred and can be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 146 also revises accounting
for specified employee and contract terminations that are part of restructuring
activities. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated
after December 31, 2002.
SFAS No. 148 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and
Disclosure," was issued in December 2002 and provides alternative methods of
transition for a voluntary change to the fair value-based method of accounting
for stock-based compensation. It also amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS
No. 123 to require prominent disclosure in the "Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies" about the effects on reported net income of an entity's
accounting policy decisions with respect to stock-based employee compensation.
SFAS No. 148 requires disclosure as to the pro forma effects on interim
financial statements if stock-based compensation is accounted for under the
intrinsic value method prescribed in APB No. 25. The amendments to SFAS No. 123
as to transition alternatives and as to prominent disclosure are effective for
fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The amendment is effective for
interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002.
In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB
Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"), "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure
Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of
Others." FIN 45 requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, the guarantor must
recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation it assumes under that
guarantee. FIN 45 also requires additional disclosures by a guarantor in its
interim and annual financial statements about the obligations associated with
guarantees issued. The required disclosures have been included in Notes 12, 14
and 21. The recognition and measurement provisions are effective on a
prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The
adoption of this interpretation is not expected to have a material effect on the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
-34-
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"),
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." FIN 46 provides guidance on the
identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other
than through voting rights, variable interest entities, and how to determine
when and which business enterprises should consolidate variable interest
entities. Variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, if any,
will be assessed for consolidation using the new interpretation beginning in the
first quarter of 2003.
Variable interest entities in which the Company holds a variable interest that
it acquired before February 1, 2003 will be assessed for consolidation beginning
in the third quarter of 2003. The adoption of this interpretation is not
expected to have a material effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements.

THE PITTSTON COMPANY AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Pittston Company, a Virginia corporation, has three primary operating
segments within its "Business and Security Services" businesses: Brink's,
Incorporated ("Brink's"); Brink's Home Security, Inc. ("BHS"); and BAX Global
Inc. ("BAX Global").
The fourth operating segment is Other Operations, which consists of gold, timber
and natural gas operations. The Company also has significant assets and
liabilities associated with its former coal operations and expects to have
significant ongoing expenses and cash outflows related to former coal operations
in the future.
The Pittston Company and its subsidiaries are referred to herein as the
"Company." The Company's common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange
under the symbol "PZB."
Prior to January 14, 2000, the Company had three classes of common stock, each
designed to track a segment of the Company's businesses: Pittston Brink's Group
Common Stock ("Brink's Stock"), Pittston BAX Group Common Stock ("BAX Stock")
and Pittston Minerals Group Common Stock ("Minerals Stock").
The Company eliminated its tracking stock capital structure on January 14, 2000
by exchanging all outstanding shares of Minerals Stock and BAX Stock for shares
of Brink's Stock (the "Exchange"). See Note 3 for additional information
concerning the Exchange.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of The Pittston
Company and the subsidiaries it controls, including all subsidiaries that are
majority owned. The Company's interest in 20% to 50% owned companies are
accounted for using the equity method ("equity affiliates") unless control
exists, in which case, consolidation accounting is used. Undistributed earnings
of equity affiliates included in consolidated retained earnings approximated
$33.1 million at December 31, 2002. All material intercompany items and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Brink's - Revenue is recognized when services are performed. Services related to
armored car transportation, including ATM servicing, cash logistics, coin
sorting and wrapping are performed in accordance with the terms of customer
contracts, which contract prices are fixed and determinable. Brink's assesses
the customer's ability to meet the terms of the contract, including payment
terms, before entering into contracts.
BHS - Monitoring revenues are recognized monthly as services are provided
pursuant to the terms of customer contracts, which contract prices are fixed and
determinable. BHS assesses the customer's ability to meet the terms of the
contract, including payment terms, before entering into contracts. Amounts
collected in advance as deposits from customers are deferred and recognized as
income over the applicable monitoring period, which is generally one year or
less. Beginning in 2000, nonrefundable installation revenues and a portion of
the related direct costs of acquiring new subscribers (primarily sales
commissions) are deferred and recognized over the estimated term of the
subscriber relationship, which is generally 15 years.
-45-
When an installation is identified for disconnection, any unamortized deferred
revenues and deferred costs related to that installation are recognized at that
time. Prior to 2000, BHS charged against earnings as incurred, all marketing and
selling costs associated with obtaining new subscribers and recognized as
revenue all nonrefundable payments received from such subscribers to the extent
that costs exceeded such revenues.
BAX Global - Revenues related to transportation services are recognized,
together with related transportation costs, on the date shipments physically
depart from facilities en route to destination locations. BAX Global and its
customer agree to the terms of the shipment, including pricing, prior to
shipment. Pricing terms are fixed and determinable, and BAX Global only agrees
to shipments when it believes that collectibility is reasonably assured.
Revenues and operating results determined under existing recognition policies do
not materially differ from those which would result from an allocation of
revenue between reporting periods based on relative transit times in each
reporting period with expenses recognized as incurred.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits and investments
with original maturities of three months or less.
TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear
interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company's best estimate of
the amount of probable credit losses in the Company's existing accounts
receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off
experience by industry and customer specific data. The Company reviews its
allowance for doubtful accounts quarterly. Account balances are charged off
against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the
potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company has an accounts
receivable securitization program described in Note 13.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment is accounted for at cost. Depreciation is calculated
principally on the straight-line method. Amortization of capitalized software is
calculated principally on the straight-line method.
Estimated Useful Lives Years
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buildings 10 to 40
Home security systems 15
Vehicles 3 to 12
Capitalized software 3 to 7
Other machinery and equipment 3 to 20
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs on property and equipment,
including aircraft, are charged to expense. Major renewals, betterments and
modifications are capitalized and amortized over the lesser of the remaining
life of the asset or, if applicable, lease term. Scheduled airframe and periodic
engine overhaul costs are capitalized, and reported within other assets, when
incurred and amortized over the flying time to the next scheduled major
maintenance or overhaul date, respectively.
BHS retains ownership of most home security systems installed at subscriber
locations. Costs for those systems are capitalized and depreciated over the
estimated lives of the assets. Costs capitalized as part of home security
systems include equipment and materials used in the installation process, direct
labor required to install the equipment at customer sites, and other costs
associated with the installation process. These other costs include the cost of
vehicles used for installation purposes and the portion of telecommunication,
facilities and administrative costs incurred primarily at BHS' branches that are
associated with the installation process. Direct labor and other costs represent
approximately 70% of the amounts capitalized, while equipment and materials
represent approximately 30% of amounts capitalized. In addition to regular
straight line depreciation expense each period, the Company charges to expense
the carrying value of security systems estimated to be permanently disconnected
based on each period's actual disconnects and historical reconnection
experience.
-46-
The costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use are
accounted for in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position ("SOP") No. 98-1,
"Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for
Internal Use." SOP No. 98-1 requires that certain costs related to the
development or purchase of internal-use software be capitalized and amortized
over the estimated useful life of the software. Costs that are capitalized
include external direct costs of materials and services to develop or obtain the
software, and internal costs for employees directly associated with a software
development project, including payroll and other employee benefits. Amortization
of capitalized software costs was $19.8 million, $15.1 million and $14.6 million
in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
GOODWILL
Goodwill is recognized for the excess of the purchase price over the fair value
of tangible and identifiable intangible net assets of businesses acquired. Prior
to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" in January 2002, goodwill was amortized
over the estimated period of benefit on a straight-line basis up to a maximum of
40 years, and was reviewed for impairment under the provisions of SFAS No. 121
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to
be Disposed Of," for other long-lived assets. Since the adoption of SFAS No.
142, amortization of goodwill has been discontinued and goodwill is reviewed at
least annually for impairment. The Company completed the transitional and annual
goodwill impairment tests during 2002 with no impairment charges required. The
Company's goodwill amortization in each of 2001 and 2000 was approximately $9.5
million.
A reconciliation of net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share for the
three years ended December 31, 2002 as reported in the Company's Consolidated
Statements of Operations, to net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share
for the same periods, as adjusted to exclude goodwill amortization expense (net
of tax effects), is presented below:
(In millions, except Years Ended December 31
per share amounts) 2002 2001 2000
- ------------------------------------------------------------
Reported net income (loss) $ 26.1 16.6 (256.6)
Goodwill amortization,
net of tax effects - 8.3 8.2
- ------------------------------------------------------------
Net income (loss) as adjusted $ 26.1 24.9 (248.4)
- ------------------------------------------------------------
Reported diluted
net income (loss) per share $ 0.48 0.31 (5.12)
Goodwill amortization, net
of tax effects - 0.16 0.16
- ------------------------------------------------------------
Diluted net income (loss)
per share as adjusted $ 0.48 0.47 (4.96)
- ------------------------------------------------------------
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
Long-lived assets that are deemed impaired are recorded at the lower of the
carrying amount or fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 142 for goodwill, as
noted above, and SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets" for long-lived assets besides goodwill. Long-lived assets
besides goodwill are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate the
carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. For assets that are to be
held and used, an impairment is recognized when the estimated undiscounted cash
flows associated with the asset or group of assets is less than their carrying
value. If impairment exists, an adjustment is made to write the asset down to
its fair value, and a loss is recorded as the difference between the carrying
value and fair value. Fair values are determined based on quoted market values,
discounted cash flows or internal and external appraisals, as applicable. Assets
held for sale are carried at the lower of carrying value or estimated net
realizable value. See Note 8.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic
value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations.
Accordingly, since options are granted with an exercise price equal to the
market price of the stock on the date of grant, the Company has not recognized
any compensation expense related to its stock option plans for the years ended
December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000. See Note 16.
-47-
Had compensation costs for the Company's stock-based compensation plans been
determined based on the fair value of awards at the grant dates consistent with
the optional recognition provision of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation," net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share would be the
pro forma amounts indicated below:
(In millions, except Years Ended December 31
per share amounts) 2002 2001 2000
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
NET INCOME (LOSS)
As reported $ 26.1 16.6 (256.6)
Less stock-based compensation
expense determined under
fair value method (4.4) (5.0) (4.4)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pro forma $ 21.7 11.6 (261.0)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Basic, as reported $ 0.48 0.31 (5.11)
Basic, pro forma 0.40 0.21 (5.21)
Diluted, as reported $ 0.48 0.31 (5.12)
Diluted, pro forma 0.39 0.21 (5.21)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated at the time of the grant
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Pro forma net income (loss) and
net income (loss) per share disclosures are computed by amortizing the estimated
fair value of the grants over respective vesting periods. The weighted-average
assumptions used in the model for Pittston Common Stock and the resulting
weighted-average grant-date estimates of fair value are as follows:
Years Ended December 31
2002 2001 2000
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Assumptions:
Expected dividend yield 0.5% 0.5% 0.4%
Expected volatility 37% 38% 31%
Risk-free interest rate 3.7% 4.8% 6.0%
Expected term (in years) 4.0 4.6 4.5
Fair value estimates:
In millions $ 6.6 9.6 5.5
Per share $ 6.97 8.10 5.21
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS
Postretirement benefits other than pensions, except for those established
pursuant to the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1992 (the "Health
Benefit Act"), are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 106, "Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," which requires
employers to accrue the cost of such retirement benefits during the employees'
service with the Company. Actuarial gains and losses are deferred. The portion
of the deferred gains or losses that exceeds 10% of the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation at the beginning of the year is amortized into
earnings generally over the average remaining life expectancy for inactive
participants.
Postretirement benefit obligations established by the Health Benefit Act are
recorded as a liability when they are probable and estimable in accordance with
Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") No. 92-13, "Accounting for Estimated
Payments in Connection with the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of
1992." Prior to the Company's formal plan to exit the coal business in December
2000, the Company recognized expense when payments were made, similar to the
accounting for multi-employer plans, as provided in EITF 92-13.
INCOME TAXES
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax
consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or
tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the
difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which these items
are expected to reverse.
-48-
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The Company's Consolidated Financial Statements are reported in U.S. dollars.
Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated using rates of
exchange at the balance sheet date and resulting cumulative translation
adjustments have been recorded as a separate component of accumulated other
comprehensive loss. Revenues and expenses are translated at rates of exchange in
effect during the year. Translation adjustments relating to subsidiaries in
countries with highly inflationary economies are included in net income, along
with all transaction gains and losses.
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
All derivative instruments are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at
fair value. If the derivative has been designated as a cash flow hedge, changes
in the fair value of derivatives are recognized in other comprehensive loss
until the hedged transaction is recognized in earnings.
FORMER COAL OPERATIONS
The following accounting policies of the Company's former coal operations were
in effect through December 2002, at which point the Company completed its exit
of the coal business by either selling or shutting down its active coal
operations.
Revenue Recognition
Coal sales are generally recognized when coal is loaded onto transportation
vehicles for shipment to customers. For domestic sales, this generally occurs
when coal is loaded onto railcars at mine locations. For export sales, this
generally occurs when coal is loaded onto marine vessels at terminal facilities.
Coal sales are included as a component of the Company's loss from discontinued
operations in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Depletion of bituminous coal lands is provided on the basis of tonnage mined in
relation to the estimated total of recoverable tonnage in the ground and is
included as a component of the Company's loss from discontinued operations in
the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Mine development costs are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful
life of the mine. These costs include expenses incurred for site preparation and
development at the mines during the development stage. A mine is considered
under development until management determines that all planned production units
are in place and the mine is available for commercial operation and the mining
of coal. Capitalized mine development costs are included within noncurrent
assets (classified as part of discontinued operations at December 31, 2001) on
the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The associated amortization is
included as a component of the Company's loss from discontinued operations in
the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Reclamation Costs
Expenditures relating to environmental regulatory requirements and reclamation
costs undertaken during mine operations are expensed as incurred. Estimated site
restoration and post closure reclamation costs are expensed using the units of
production method over the estimated recoverable tonnage at each mine. In each
case, such charges are included as a component of the Company's loss from
discontinued operations in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Accrued reclamation costs are subject to review by management on a regular basis
and are revised when appropriate for changes in future estimated costs and/or
regulatory requirements. Accrued reclamation costs for mines are included in
either current or noncurrent liabilities (amounts expected to be assumed by
purchasers were classified as part of discontinued operations at December 31,
2001) in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at cost (determined under the first-in, first-out or
average cost method) or market, whichever is lower. Inventory is recorded within
current assets (classified as part of discontinued operations at December 31,
2001) in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.
-49-
USE OF ESTIMATES
In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.,
management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions
relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these Consolidated Financial
Statements. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The
most significant estimates used by management are related to the accounting for
goodwill and property and equipment valuations, employee and retiree benefit
obligations, discontinued operations, and deferred tax assets.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
year's financial statement presentation.
ACCOUNTING CHANGE - 2000
Pursuant to guidance issued in Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101,
"Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements," by the Securities and Exchange
Commission in December 1999, and a related interpretation issued in October
2000, BHS changed its method of accounting for nonrefundable installation
revenues and a portion of the related direct costs of obtaining new subscribers
(primarily sales commissions). Under the new method, all of the nonrefundable
installation revenues and a portion of the new installation costs deemed to be
direct costs of subscriber acquisition are deferred and recognized in income
over the estimated term of the subscriber relationship. Prior to 2000, BHS
charged against earnings as incurred, all marketing and selling costs associated
with obtaining new subscribers and recognized as revenue all nonrefundable
payments received from such subscribers to the extent that costs exceeded such
revenues.
The accounting change was implemented in 2000 and the Company reported a noncash
after-tax charge of $52.0 million ($84.7 million pretax), to reflect the
cumulative effect of the accounting change on years prior to 2000. The pretax
cumulative effect charge of $84.7 million comprised a net deferral of $121.1
million of revenues partially offset by $36.4 million of customer acquisition
costs. The change in accounting principle decreased operating profit for 2000 by
$2.3 million, reflecting a net decrease in revenues of $6.4 million and a net
decrease in operating expenses of $4.1 million. Net income for 2000 was reduced
by $1.4 million ($0.03 per diluted share).
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," was issued in June
2001 and addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated
with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset
retirement costs. SFAS No. 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for
an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it becomes
an obligation, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The Company
will adopt SFAS No. 143 in the first quarter of 2003. The implementation of the
new standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's results
of operations or financial position.
SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal
Activities," was issued in June 2002 and applies to costs associated with an
exit activity (including restructuring) or with a disposal of long-lived assets.
This statement nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, "Liability
Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an
Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." Under SFAS No.
146, a commitment to a plan to exit an activity or dispose of long-lived assets
will no longer be sufficient to record a charge for most anticipated costs.
Instead, a liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity will
be recorded when that liability is incurred and can be measured at fair value.
SFAS No. 146 also revises accounting for specified employee and contract
terminations that are part of restructuring activities. SFAS No. 146 is
effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002.
-50-
SFAS No. 148 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and
Disclosure," was issued in December 2002 and provides alternative methods of
transition for a voluntary change to the fair value-based method of accounting
for stock-based compensation. It also amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS
No. 123 to require prominent disclosure in the "Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies" about the effects on reported net income of an entity's
accounting policy decisions with respect to stock-based employee compensation.
SFAS No. 148 requires disclosure as to the pro forma effects on interim
financial statements if stock-based compensation is accounted for under the
intrinsic value method prescribed in APB No. 25. The amendments to SFAS No. 123
as to transition alternatives and as to prominent disclosure are effective for
fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The amendment is effective for
interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002.
In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued
FASB Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"), "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure
Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of
Others." FIN 45 requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, the guarantor must
recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation it assumes under that
guarantee. FIN 45 also requires additional disclosures by a guarantor in its
interim and annual financial statements about the obligations associated with
guarantees issued. The required disclosures have been included in Notes 12, 14
and 21. The recognition and measurement provisions are effective on a
prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The
adoption of this interpretation is not expected to have a material effect on the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"),
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." FIN 46 provides guidance on the
identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other
than through voting rights ("variable interest entities") and how to determine
when and which business enterprises should consolidate variable interest
entities. Variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, if any,
will be assessed for consolidation using the new interpretation beginning in the
first quarter of 2003. Variable interest entities in which the Company holds a
variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003 will be assessed for
consolidation beginning in the third quarter of 2003. The adoption of this
interpretation is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 3
CAPITAL STOCK
COMMON STOCK
On January 14, 2000, the Company eliminated its tracking stock capital structure
by exchanging all outstanding shares of Minerals Stock and BAX Stock for 10.9
million shares of Brink's Stock. The holders of Minerals Stock received 0.0817
share of Brink's Stock for each share of their Minerals Stock; and holders of
BAX Stock received 0.4848 share of Brink's Stock for each share of their BAX
Stock. The exchange ratios were derived using a shareholder-approved formula
that was based on the relative fair market values of each stock, as defined in
the Company's Articles of Incorporation.
After January 14, 2000, Brink's Stock became the only outstanding class of
common stock of the Company and is hereinafter referred to as "Pittston Common
Stock."
CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
On August 15, 2002 the Company redeemed all 21,433 outstanding shares of the
$31.25 Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock (the "Convertible Preferred Stock")
for $10.8 million, or $506.25 per share.
At December 31, 2002, the Company has authority to issue up to 2.0 million
shares of preferred stock, par value $10 per share.
REPURCHASE PROGRAM
The Company has the remaining authority to purchase up to 1.0 million shares of
Pittston Common Stock under a share repurchase program authorized by the Board
of Directors, with an aggregate purchase price limitation of $19.1 million.

During 2002, 2001 and 2000, the Company paid dividends of $5.2 million, $5.1
million and $5.0 million, respectively, on Pittston Common Stock. In 2002, 2001
and 2000, dividends paid on the Convertible Preferred Stock amounted to $0.5
million, $0.7 million, and $0.9 million, respectively.
Dividends distributed to employee benefit plans in the form of common stock were
$0.4 million, $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31,
2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
-54-
In February 2003, the Board declared a cash dividend of $0.025 per share on
Pittston Common Stock payable on March 3, 2003 to shareholders of record on
February 18, 2003.
SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK RIGHTS AGREEMENT
Under the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement dated as of January 14, 2000, as
amended effective November 30, 2001, holders of Pittston Common Stock have
rights to purchase a new Series A Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock (the
"Series A Preferred Stock") of the Company at the rate of one right for each
share of Pittston Common Stock. Each right, if and when it becomes exercisable,
will entitle the holder to purchase one-thousandth of a share of Series A
Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $60.00, subject to adjustment.
Each fractional share of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to
participate in dividends and to vote on an equivalent basis with one whole share
of Pittston Common Stock. Each right will not be exercisable until after a third
party acquires more than 15% of the total voting rights of all outstanding
Pittston Common Stock or on such date as may be designated by the Board after
commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer by a third party for more than
15% of the total voting rights of all outstanding Pittston Common Stock.
If after the rights become exercisable, the Company is acquired in a merger or
other business combination, each right will entitle the holder to purchase, for
the purchase price, common stock of the surviving or acquiring company having a
market value of twice the purchase price. In the event a third party acquires
more than 15% of all outstanding Pittston Common Stock, the rights will entitle
each holder to purchase, at the purchase price, that number of fractional shares
of Series A Preferred Stock equivalent to the number of shares of common stock
which at the time of the triggering event would have a market value of twice the
purchase price. As an alternative to the purchase described in the previous
sentence, the Board may elect to exchange the rights for other forms of
consideration, including that number of shares of common stock obtained by
dividing the purchase price by the market price of the common stock at the time
of the exchange or for cash equal to the purchase price. The rights may be
redeemed by the Company at a price of $0.01 per right and expire on September
25, 2007.
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS TRUST
The Pittston Company Employee Benefits Trust (the "Trust") holds shares of
Pittston Common Stock to fund obligations under certain compensation and
employee benefit programs that provide for the issuance of stock. In 2001, the
Company issued an additional 2.5 million shares of Pittston Common Stock to the
Trust. In 2000, the Trust exchanged its BAX Stock and Minerals Stock for 0.7
million shares of Pittston Common Stock in the Exchange. As of December 31,
2002, 2001 and 2000, 1.8 million, 2.7 million and 1.3 million shares,
respectively, of Pittston Common Stock were held by the Trust. The fair value as
of the balance sheet date of the shares owned by the Trust are accounted for as
a reduction of shareholders' equity. Shares of Pittston Common Stock will be
voted by the trustee in the same proportion as those voted by the Company's
employees participating in the Company's Savings Investment Plan.

from the basic and diluted income per common share calculations. Shares held by
the Trust that were excluded were 1.8 million, 2.7 million and 1.3 million in
2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
The Company excludes the effect of antidilutive securities from the computations
of diluted income from continuing operations per common share. The equivalent
weighted average shares of common stock that were excluded were 1.2 million, 2.0
million and 2.8 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
NOTE 5
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
After completing the disposal of its coal business, the Company has retained
certain coal-related liabilities and related expenses. Retained liabilities
include obligations related to postretirement benefits for Company-sponsored
plans, black lung benefits, reclamation and other costs related to idle
(shut-down) mines which have been retained, Health Benefit Act, workers'
compensation claims and costs of withdrawal from multi-employer pension plans.
Expenses related to these liabilities have been reflected in the loss from
discontinued operations through the disposal date. Subsequent to the completion
of the disposal process (for the period beginning January 1, 2003), adjustments
to coal-related contingent liabilities will be reflected in discontinued
operations, and expenses related to Company-sponsored pension and postretirement
benefit obligations and black lung obligations will be reflected in continuing
operations. In addition, subsequent to the disposal date, the Company expects to
have certain ongoing costs related to the administration of the retained
liabilities and will report those costs in continuing operations.
The amounts to be recorded in future years will be dependent on many factors,
including inflation in health care and other costs, discount rates, the market
value of pension plan assets, the number of participants in various benefit
programs, the number of idle mine sites ultimately transferred and the timing of
such transfers, and the amount of administrative costs needed to manage the
retained liabilities.
Proceeds received from the sales transactions in 2002 approximated $88 million
including cash of $42 million, notes receivable of $8 million (six-month term),
$16 million representing the present value of royalties (five-year term, $20
million total payments), and liabilities assumed by the purchasers of
approximately $22 million.
The assets disposed of primarily included operations including coal reserves,
property, plant and equipment, the Company's economic interest in Dominion
Terminal Associates ("DTA") and inventory. Certain liabilities, primarily
reclamation costs related to properties disposed of, were assumed by the
purchasers.

Loss from discontinued

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOSS ON THE DISPOSAL
During 2000, an estimated loss of $85.9 million was recorded to reflect the
difference between expected proceeds and the carrying value of assets to be
sold. During 2001, an estimated additional net loss of $15.9 million was
recorded to reflect changes in expected proceeds to be received and changes in
the expected values of assets and liabilities through the anticipated dates of
sale or shutdown. A $13.2 million reversal of the previously estimated loss on
sale was recorded during 2002 to reflect the final adjustment based on the
actual proceeds and values of assets and liabilities at the dates of sale.
OPERATING LOSSES
Discontinued Operations accounting required the accrual of expenses expected to
be incurred through the end of the disposal period. Accordingly, operating
losses (including significant expenses the Company expects to retain and
classify in continuing operations subsequent to the disposal date related to
Company-sponsored pension and postretirement benefit obligations and black lung
obligations) were recognized within discontinued operations in different periods
than they would have been recorded if coal were a continuing operation. Total
recorded charges for Company-sponsored pension and postretirement benefit
obligations and black lung obligations, were approximately $2 million, $53
million and $48 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The year 2000
included expenses incurred in 2000 and those expected to be incurred in 2001,
while 2001 (which included expenses expected to be incurred in 2002) included
only one year of expenses. The amount in 2002 represents the difference between
the estimated amount of expenses relating to 2002 that were accrued in 2001 and
the amount actually incurred in 2002. The increase in the average amount of
annual expense for 2002 (recorded in 2001) versus prior years primarily resulted
from the effects of actuarial assumption changes on postretirement medical and
pension benefits.
Estimated operating losses, including the above employee expenses, through the
originally anticipated period of disposal of $45.0 million were recorded in
2000.
The Company increased the estimated operating losses in 2001 by $22.2 million.
The $22.2 million increase included the effect of extending the anticipated
period of disposal through the end of 2002, which resulted in $53 million of
additional postretirement, pension, and black lung benefit expenses. Also
included in the $22.2 million increase was a refund of $23.4 million (including
interest) of Federal Black Lung Excise Tax ("FBLET") received during 2001 and an
accrual of $9.5 million for litigation settlements that were paid during early
2002.
The Company recorded an additional $28.1 million of operating losses during
2002, primarily reflecting worse-than-expected price, volume and costs per ton
of coal as a result of adverse coal market conditions during the year, and the
sale of coal operations and reserves in 2002.
No interest expense has been allocated to discontinued operations.
-57-
HEALTH BENEFIT ACT LIABILITIES AND CURTAILMENT OF BENEFIT PLANS
In 2000, the Company recorded a $161.7 million liability for its obligations
under the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1992 (the "Health Benefit
Act"). In 2002 and 2001, the Company recorded additional charges of $24.0
million and $8.0 million, respectively, to reflect changes in the estimates of
the undiscounted liability. This liability will be adjusted in future periods as
assumptions change. See Note 15.
During 2000, the Company also recorded a net curtailment loss of $1.6 million,
comprising a $6.0 million net curtailment loss on the Company's medical benefit
plans and a $4.4 million net curtailment gain on the Company's pension plans.
WITHDRAWAL LIABILITY
The Company participates in the United Mine Workers of America ("UMWA") 1950 and
1974 pension plans at defined contribution rates, but expects to ultimately
withdraw from these plans. At December 31, 2001, the Company recorded $8.2
million of estimated withdrawal liabilities for these multi-employer pension
plans associated with its planned exit from the coal business. At December 31,
2002, the Company increased the estimated liabilities by $26.8 million to $35.0
million. The Company's estimate of the obligation in each year is based on the
funded status of the multi-employer plans at the most recent measurement date.
The actual withdrawal liability, if any, is subject to several factors,
including funding and benefit levels of the plans and the date that the Company
is determined to have completely withdrawn from the plans. Accordingly, the
ultimate obligation could change materially.
INCOME TAXES
Income tax benefits attributable to the loss on the disposal of the discontinued
segment include the benefits of percentage depletion generated from the active
operations during the sale period.
OPERATING PERFORMANCE OF FORMER COAL OPERATIONS
Since estimated operating losses from the measurement date to the date of
disposal of the former coal operations were recorded as part of the estimated
loss on the disposal, actual results of operations during the disposal period
are not included in Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period that
they are earned.

Approximately $43.3 million (original carrying value) of residual long-lived
coal assets were reclassified at December 31, 2002 from discontinued operations
to assets held and used. The assets held and used were reclassified individually
at the lower of their actual cost, adjusted for depreciation since the time
originally classified as held for sale, and their fair value at the date the
assets were reclassified to assets held and used. Fair value was estimated using
sales proceeds for similar assets during 2002 as well as estimates provided by
investment advisors. An impairment charge of $14.1 million was recognized as a
result of the reclassification.
In the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company entered into an agreement to
negotiate the transfer of its interests in its gold mining joint ventures to a
publicly traded equity affiliate in which it has a minority interest in exchange
for additional shares of the equity affiliate and other consideration. The
transfer is contingent upon various factors. The Company does not presently
control the equity affiliate and does not expect to control the affiliate after
the exchange.
The Company recognized a $5.7 million (pretax) impairment of its long-lived
assets and recognized $1.4 million (pretax) of previously deferred losses on
certain of its gold forward sales contracts that had been accounted for as
hedges now that the hedged transactions were no longer deemed probable as a
result of the potential transfer. See Note 19. Fair value was estimated using
projected weighted-average discounted cash flows.
In 2000, certain aircraft-related assets were written down to fair value
pursuant to BAX Global's restructuring plan (see Note 20).

Company transferred its economic interest in Dominion Terminal Associates
("DTA"), a partnership with three coal companies that operates a leased coal
port terminal in Newport News, Virginia (the "Terminal"). Since the Company no
longer has an economic interest in DTA, its related $43.2 million guarantee of
underlying debt was reclassified to long-term debt as of December 31, 2002. See

The Company has an unsecured $350 million syndicated bank credit facility (the
"Facility") from which it may borrow on a revolving basis over a three-year term
ending September 2005. At December 31, 2002, $199.8 million was available for
borrowing under the Facility. The Company has the option to borrow based on a
Libor-based rate plus a margin, a prime rate plus a margin or a competitive bid
among the individual banks.
The margin is 0.825% for LIBOR based borrowings. The credit agreement provides
for margin increases, but does not accelerate payments should the Company's
credit rating be reduced. When borrowings and letters of credit under the
Facility are in excess of $175 million, the applicable interest rate is
increased by 0.125%. The Company also pays an annual fee on the Facility based
on the Company's credit rating. The fee, which can range from 0.125% to 0.400%,
was 0.175% as of December 31, 2002.
The Company has $55 million of 7.84% Senior Notes, Series A due 2005-2007 and
$20 million of 8.02% Senior Notes, Series B due in 2008. In April 2002, the
Company completed a $20.0 million private placement of 7.17% Senior Notes due
2006-2008, referred to herein as the Series C Notes. Proceeds from the Series C
Notes were used to repay borrowings under the U.S. revolving bank credit
facility. Interest on each series of the Notes is payable semiannually, and the
Company has the option to prepay all or a portion of the Notes prior to maturity
with a prepayment penalty. The Notes are unsecured.
The Company has three unsecured multi-currency revolving bank credit facilities
that total $110 million in available credit, of which $43.5 million was
available at December 31, 2002 for additional borrowing. Various foreign
subsidiaries maintain other secured and unsecured lines of credit and overdraft
facilities with a number of banks. Amounts outstanding under these agreements
are included in short-term borrowings.
Minimum repayments of long-term debt for years 2004 through 2007 total $14.4
million, $156.1 million, $29.6 million and $28.1 million, respectively.
The Peninsula Ports Authority of Virginia (the "Peninsula Authority") issued tax
exempt bonds in 1992 to refund bonds related to DTA, a partnership in which the
Company no longer has an economic interest. The Company continues to guarantee
payment of $43.2 million of the Peninsula Authority's bonds and has concluded it
is probable that it will have to fund the guarantee. The bonds bear a fixed
interest rate of 7.375%, and the interest on the bonds is not taxable to the
holders. The bonds may be redeemed beginning in June 2002.
The Company's Brink's, BHS, and BAX Global subsidiaries have guaranteed the U.S.
bank credit facility and Notes. The U.S. revolving bank credit agreement, the
agreement under which the Notes were issued and the multi-currency revolving
bank credit facilities each contain various financial and other covenants. The
financial covenants, among other things, limit the Company's total indebtedness,
provide for minimum coverage of interest costs, and require the Company to
maintain a minimum level of net worth. If the Company were not to comply with
the terms of its various loan agreements, the repayment terms could be
accelerated. An acceleration of the repayment terms under one agreement could
trigger the acceleration of the repayment terms under the other loan agreements.
The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants at December 31, 2002.
The Company entered into capital lease obligations of $2.7 million in 2002 and
$7.5 million in 2001.
At December 31, 2002, the Company had undrawn unsecured letters of credit
totaling $62.4 million. These letters of credit primarily support the Company's
obligations under various self-insurance programs, credit facilities and
aircraft lease obligations.

In December 2000, the Company entered into a five-year agreement to sell a
revolving interest in BAX Global's U.S. domestic accounts receivable through a
commercial paper conduit program. The primary purpose of the agreement was to
obtain access to a lower cost source of funds.
Qualifying accounts receivable of BAX Global's U.S. operations are sold on a
monthly basis, without recourse, to BAX Funding Corporation ("BAX Funding"), a
wholly owned, consolidated special-purpose subsidiary of BAX Global. BAX Funding
then sells an undivided interest in the entire pool of accounts receivable to a
bank-sponsored conduit entity. The conduit issues commercial paper to finance
the purchase of its interest in the receivables. Under the program, BAX Funding
may sell up to a $90.0 million interest in the receivables pool to the conduit.
During the term of the agreement, the conduit's interest in daily collections of
accounts receivable is reinvested in newly originated receivables.
BAX Funding's sale of the undivided interest in the accounts receivable pool to
the conduit is accounted for as a sale under SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities."
BAX Funding's retained interest is reported as accounts receivable in the
Consolidated Balance Sheet.
At the end of the five-year term, or in the event certain circumstances cause an
early termination of the program, the daily reinvestment will be discontinued
and collections will be used to pay down the conduit's interest in the
receivables pool. Early termination of the program may occur if certain ratios,
including ratios of delinquent and defaulted accounts, are exceeded. Early
termination may also be triggered if other events occur as described in the
agreement, including the acceleration of debt repayments of the Company's $350
million U.S. revolving bank credit facility.
The conduit has a priority collection interest in the entire pool of receivables
and, as a result, BAX Funding has retained credit risk to the extent the pool
exceeds the amount sold. BAX Funding sells its receivables to the conduit at a
discount. The amount of the discount is based on the conduit's borrowing cost
plus incremental fees. BAX Global is the designated servicer of the receivables
pool and is responsible for collections, reinvestment, and periodic reporting to
the conduit. The Pittston Company has guaranteed the performance of BAX Global
with respect to the agreement.

Revolving interest sold to conduit (72.0) (69.0)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
The fair value of the Company's retained interest in the receivables
approximates its carrying value. The discount and related expenses of $1.6
million in 2002, $4.0 million in 2001 and $0.6 million in 2000 are reported as
other expense, net, in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company has
not recorded a servicing asset or liability because it believes the servicing
compensation BAX Global receives is representative of market rates and because
the average servicing period for accounts receivable approximates one month.

NOTE 14
OPERATING LEASES
The Company leases facilities, aircraft, vehicles, computers and other equipment
under long-term operating and capital leases with varying terms. Most of the
operating leases contain renewal and/or purchase options. Information relating
to capital leases is included in Note 12.
As of December 31, 2002, aggregate future minimum lease payments for continuing
operations under operating leases were as follows:

The above table includes amounts due under noncancellable leases with initial or
remaining lease terms in excess of one year, and excludes operating leases
associated with the Company's former coal operations. See Note 21 for a
description of the leases related to former coal operations.
The above table includes lease payments for the initial accounting lease term
and all renewal periods for certain vehicles used in Brink's and BHS'
operations. If the Company were to not renew these leases, it would be subject
to a residual value guarantee. The Company's maximum residual value guarantee
was $53 million at December 31, 2002. If the Company continues to renew the
leases and pays all of the lease payments for the vehicles that have been
included in the above table (which aggregate lease payments decline over eight
years), this residual guarantee will reduce to zero at the end of the final
renewal period.
The Company has leases on four facilities under each of which it has the option
to either renew the lease, purchase the facility at original cost, or pay a
guaranteed residual. At December 31, 2002, the maximum guaranteed residuals on
these four leases totaled $15.5 million.
Net rent expense amounted to $149.0 million in 2002, $142.3 million in 2001 and
$146.9 million in 2000.
NOTE 15
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
The employee benefit plans and other liabilities described below cover employees
and retirees of both the Company's continuing operating units and former coal
operations. Accordingly, a portion of these benefit expenses have been included
in the results of discontinued operations for the years presented.
PENSION PLANS
The Company has noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering
substantially all U.S. nonunion employees who meet certain minimum requirements.
The Company also has other contributory and noncontributory defined benefit
plans for eligible non-U.S. employees. Benefits under most of the plans are
based on salary (including commissions, bonuses, overtime and premium pay) and
years of service. The Company's policy is to fund at least the minimum
actuarially determined amounts necessary in accordance with applicable
regulations.
The Company's U.S. defined benefit pension plans represent 82% of Projected
Benefit Obligation ("PBO") and 81% of plan assets at December 31, 2002. The
assumptions used in determining the net pension expense and funded status for
the Company's U.S. pension plans were as follows:

Pursuant to its formal plan to exit the coal business, the Company recorded a
curtailment gain during 2000 of $4.4 million comprising a $5.8 million reduction
in PBO, partially offset by reductions in unrecognized experience losses and
prior service costs.
Reconciliations of the PBO, plan assets, funded status and prepaid pension
expense at December 31, 2002 and 2001 for all of the Company's pension plans are

The Company's unrecognized experience loss increased significantly in the last
two years primarily due to lower discount rate assumptions (which increased the
PBO) and worse than expected returns on plan assets. At December 31, 2002 and
2001, the Company recognized additional minimum pension liabilities for plans
that had ABOs in excess of the fair value of plan assets.
Expense included in continuing operations in 2002, 2001 and 2000 for
multi-employer pension plans (excluding coal-related plans) was $1.8 million,
$1.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively.
SAVINGS PLANS
The Company sponsors a 401(k) Savings-Investment Plan to assist eligible U.S.
employees in providing for retirement. Employee contributions are matched at
rates of between 50% to 100% for up to 5% of compensation (subject to certain
limitations). Contribution expense in continuing operations under the plan
aggregated $10.9 million in 2002, $9.8 million in 2001 and $8.4 million in 2000.
Contribution expense included in discontinued operations was $0.6 million in
2002 and $0.7 million in 2001 and 2000.
The Company sponsors other defined contribution benefit plans based on hours
worked or other measurable factors. Contributions under all of these plans
aggregated $3.8 million in 2002, $3.2 million in 2001 and $2.8 million in 2000.

POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS
Company-Sponsored Plans
The Company provides certain postretirement health care and life insurance
benefits (the "Company-sponsored plans") for eligible active and retired
employees in the U.S. and Canada of the Company's current and former businesses,
including eligible participants of the former coal operations (the
"coal-related" plans). The components of net periodic postretirement costs

The APBO for each of the plans was determined using the unit credit method and
an assumed discount rate of 6.75% in 2002 and 7.25% in 2001. For
Company-sponsored coal-related plans, the assumed health care cost trend rate
used in 2002 was 10% for 2003, declining 1% per year to 5% in 2008 and
thereafter. Other plans provide for fixed-dollar value coverage for eligible
participants and, accordingly, are not adjusted for inflation.
A one percentage point increase (decrease) each year in the assumed health care
cost trend rate used for 2002 would increase (decrease) the aggregate service
and interest components of expense for 2002, and increase (decrease) the APBO of
Company-sponsored plans at December 31, 2002 as follows:

Health Benefit Act
In October 1992, the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1992 (the
"Health Benefit Act") was enacted as part of the Energy Policy Act of 1992. The
Health Benefit Act established rules for the payment of future health care
benefits for thousands of retired union mine workers and their dependents. The
Health Benefit Act established a trust fund, The United Mine Workers of America
Combined Benefit Fund (the "Combined Fund"), to which "signatory operators" and
"related persons", including The Pittston Company and certain of its
subsidiaries (collectively, the "Pittston Companies"), are jointly and severally
liable to pay annual premiums for those beneficiaries directly assigned to a
signatory operator and its related persons, on the basis set forth in the Health
Benefit Act. In October 1993 and on an annual basis in subsequent years, the
Pittston Companies have received notices from the Social Security Administration
(the "SSA") with regard to the current number of assigned beneficiaries for
which the Pittston Companies are deemed responsible under the Health Benefit
Act.
In addition, the Health Benefit Act provides that assigned companies, including
the Pittston Companies, are required to fund, pro rata according to the total
number of assigned beneficiaries, a portion of the health benefits for
unassigned beneficiaries if not funded from other designated sources. To date,
the funding for unassigned beneficiaries has been provided from transfers from
the Abandoned Mine Reclamation Fund.
The Company's liability for Health Benefit Act obligations to the Combined Fund
is equal to the undiscounted estimated amount of future annual premiums the
Company expects to pay to the Combined Fund. The Company's estimated annual
premium is generally equal to the total number of beneficiaries (including
assigned beneficiaries and an allocated percentage of the total unassigned
beneficiaries) at October 1, the beginning of the plan year, multiplied by the
premiums per beneficiary for that year. The Company expects to pay annual
premiums over the next 70 or more years, but it expects these annual premiums to
gradually decline over time as the number of beneficiaries decreases. The
estimated liability at December 31, 2002 and 2001 assumes that the Company will
not be required to pay premiums for its pro rata allocation of the unassigned
beneficiaries until 2005 because these benefits are assumed to be funded with
contributions from the Abandoned Mine Reclamation Fund in accordance with the
existing statute. The Company's estimate of its liability for premiums for
unassigned beneficiaries could be materially changed in future periods depending
on the amount of future funding by the Abandoned Mine Reclamation Fund or other
sources. Moreover, the Company's share of unassigned beneficiaries could be
increased on a pro rata basis in the future if other responsible coal operators
become insolvent.
Information provided by the Combined Fund is as follows:

According to the Health Benefit Act, the rate of inflation for per-beneficiary
health care premiums is equal to the medical care component of the Consumer
Price Index. The U.S. Life 79-81 mortality table has been used to estimate a
gradual decline in the number of beneficiaries. The Company's estimate assumes
that there will be no additions to the Combined Fund unassigned beneficiary
group as a result of future coal operator insolvencies.
Other major assumptions used by the Company to estimate the liabilities at
December 31, 2002 and 2001 are described below.
December 31
2002 2001
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Percent of total unassigned beneficiaries
allocated to the Company 6.7% 6.7%
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
At December 31, 2002, annual inflation rates for per-beneficiary health care
premiums was assumed to be 5% declining to 4.5% over five years. At December 31,
2001, annual inflation was assumed to be 4.5%.
Prior to December 31, 2000, the Company accounted for its obligations under the
Health Benefit Act as a participant in a multi-employer benefit plan and thus,
recognized the annual cost of these obligations on a pay-as-you-go basis.
Pursuant to its formal plan to exit the coal business, the Company recorded its
estimated undiscounted liability relating to such obligations at December 31,
2000 as a $161.7 million charge to the net loss from discontinued operations.
The obligations at December 31, 2002 and 2001 were $174.1 million and $159.9
million, respectively.
The Company recorded $24.0 million of expense in its 2002 loss from discontinued
operations to reflect an increase in the estimated liabilities for Health
Benefit Act obligations to the Combined Fund. The increase primarily resulted
from the Company's being able to obtain and use Company-specific information
regarding the age of its beneficiaries covered by the Health Benefit Act rather
than using averages relating to the entire population of beneficiaries covered,
slightly higher per-beneficiary health care premiums, and slightly lower
mortality than was estimated at the end of 2001 for the plan year ended
September 30, 2002.
The Company recorded $8.0 million of additional expense in its 2001 loss from
discontinued operations related to changes in the estimated liabilities for
Health Benefit Act obligations to the Combined Fund. The higher amount of
expense was primarily the result of a 1.7% higher number of assigned
beneficiaries as of October 1, 2001 than was estimated at the end of 2000,
partially offset by a 0.5% lower number of total unassigned beneficiaries as of
October 1, 2001 than was estimated at the end of 2000. The Combined Fund premium
per beneficiary for the plan year beginning October 1, 2001 was essentially
equal to that estimated at the end of 2000.
For 2002, 2001 and 2000, annual cash payments under the Health Benefit Act were
approximately $9.8 million, $9.7 million and $9.0 million, respectively. The
Company currently estimates that the annual cash funding under the Health
Benefit Act for the Pittston Companies' assigned beneficiaries will continue at
about the same annual level for the next several years and should begin to
decline thereafter as the number of such assigned beneficiaries decreases.
Pneumoconiosis (Black Lung) Expense
December 31
(In millions) 2002 2001

Actuarial present value of
self-insured black lung benefits $ 60.0 58.7
Unrecognized loss (14.6) (13.3)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Accrued liabilities $ 45.4 45.4
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company acts as self-insurer with respect to almost all black lung benefits.
Provision is made for estimated benefits based on annual reports prepared by
independent actuaries. Unrecognized losses, representing the excess of the
present value of expected future benefits over existing accrued liabilities, are
amortized over the average remaining life expectancy of participants
(approximately 10 years). Prior to December 31, 2000, assumptions used in the
calculation of the actuarial present value of black lung benefits were based on
actual retirement experience of the Company's coal employees, black lung claims
incidence, actual dependent information, industry turnover rates, actual medical
and legal cost experience and projected inflation rates.
-67-
As of December 31, 2000, certain assumptions were modified to reflect the
planned sale of the Company's coal business. The amount of expense incurred for
annual black lung benefits was $7.3 million in 2002, $5.2 million for 2001 and
$5.3 million for 2000.
The following are the other key actuarial assumptions for the black lung
obligations:
December 31
2002 2001
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Discount rate:
Expense 7.25% 7.50%
Liability valuation 6.75% 7.25%
Medical cost inflation 8.0% 8.0%
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 1959-1961 Mortality Table for U.S. White Males and Females is used.
The U.S. Department of Labor issued regulations in 2000 that are intended to
expand entitlement provisions and that may have the effect of limiting an
employer's ability to rebut claims. The regulation is being disputed by
companies in the coal industry. Due to the dispute and to the Company's judgment
that any additional amounts owed are not reasonably estimable, the Company has
not included any additional amounts related to the new regulations in the
actuarial present value of self-insured black lung benefits.
VEBA
The Company has established a Voluntary Employees' Beneficiary Association
("VEBA") which is intended to tax efficiently fund certain retiree medical
liabilities primarily for retired coal miners and their dependents. The Company
contributed $1.5 million to the VEBA in 2002. As of December 31, 2002, the
balance in the VEBA was $18.2 million and was included in other noncurrent
assets.
NOTE 16
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
The Company has stock and incentive plans related to employees which allow for
stock options, performance unit awards, stock appreciation rights and stock
awards.
STOCK OPTION PLANS
The Company grants options under its 1988 Stock Option Plan (the "1988 Plan") to
executives and key employees and under its Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option
Plan (the "Non-Employee Plan") to outside directors, to purchase common stock at
a price not less than the average quoted market value at the date of grant. All
grants under the 1988 Plan made in the last three years have a maximum term of
six years and substantially all of these grants either vest over three years
from the date of grant or vest 100% at the end of the third year. The
Non-Employee Plan options are granted with a maximum term of ten years vesting
in full at the end of six months. There are 1.3 million shares underlying
options for both plans that are authorized, but not yet granted.
As of January 14, 2000, with the elimination of the Company's tracking stock
capital structure, the 1988 Plan and Non-Employee Plan were amended to provide
that all future grants would be made solely in Pittston Common Stock and that
all outstanding options related to BAX Stock and Minerals Stock would be
converted into options to purchase Pittston Common Stock. On January 14, 2000,
options to purchase a total of 2.0 million shares of BAX Stock with an average
exercise price of $15.03 per share and 0.6 million shares of Minerals Stock with
an average exercise price of $7.77 per share were converted into options to
purchase 1.0 million shares of Pittston Common Stock.

Company is authorized to issue up to 1.0 million shares of Pittston Common Stock
(of which 0.7 million shares had been issued as of December 31, 2002) to
eligible employees. The ESPP is a noncompensatory plan that allows eligible
employees to buy the Company's common stock at below market value. Under the
ESPP, the Company sold 0.1 million shares of Pittston Common Stock to employees
during each of 2002, 2001, and 2000.

Approximately $0.8 million of deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2002 were
recorded in accrued liabilities.
The valuation allowance relates to deferred tax assets in certain foreign
jurisdictions. Based on the Company's historical and expected future taxable
earnings, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will
realize the benefit of the existing deferred tax assets, net of the valuation
allowance, at December 31, 2002.
The following table accounts for the difference between the actual tax provision

As of December 31, 2002, the Company has not recorded U.S. deferred income taxes
on $142.3 million of undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries and
equity affiliates. It is expected that these earnings will either be permanently
reinvested in operations outside the U.S. or, if repatriated, will be
substantially offset by tax credits. If such earnings were remitted to the U.S.
and no credits were available, additional U.S. tax expense of $49.8 million
would be recognized.
The Company's U.S. entities file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return.
As of December 31, 2002, the Company had $52.5 million of alternative minimum
tax credits available to offset future U.S. federal income taxes and, under
current tax law, the carryforward period for such credits is unlimited.
The tax benefit of net operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2002 was
$54.1 million and related to U.S. federal and various state and foreign taxing
jurisdictions. The gross amount of such net operating losses was $227.6 million
as of December 31, 2002. The expiration periods primarily range from 5 years to
an unlimited period.
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to tax examinations in various U.S.
and foreign jurisdictions. The Company believes that it has adequately provided
for all income tax liabilities and interest thereon and that final resolution of
any examinations will not have a material effect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.

NOTE 19
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company has risk management policies designed to manage, among other things,
its currency, commodity and interest rate risks. The Company's policies are
intended to reduce the effect of short-term market variability on the Company's
results of operations and cash flow.
The Company utilizes various hedging instruments to hedge a portion of its
foreign currency, interest rate, and commodity exposures. The Company does not
use derivative instruments for purposes other than hedging. The risk that
counterparties to such instruments may be unable to perform is minimized by
limiting the counterparties to major financial institutions with investment
grade credit ratings. The Company does not expect any losses due to counterparty
default.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Interest Rate Risk Management
The Company's risk management policy requires a balance to be maintained within
certain ranges between fixed and floating rate debt and the Company uses
interest rate swaps to assist in meeting this objective. The Company has
designated its interest rate hedges as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes.
The Company has entered into interest rate swaps that effectively change the
variable cash flows on a portion of the $350.0 million revolving credit
facility, to fixed cash flows. The swaps outstanding at December 31, 2002 fix
the interest rate on $65.0 million of debt at 5.5%, including the margin on the
revolving credit facility through September 2003 and fix the interest rate on
$50 million of debt at 4%, including the margin on the revolving credit
facility, from September 2003 through August 2005.
Changes in fair value on interest rate swaps are recorded in other comprehensive
loss and are subsequently reclassified to interest expense in the same period in
which the interest on the floating-rate debt obligations affects earnings.
During each of the three years ended December 31, 2002, the Company's interest
rate swaps were completely effective as defined under SFAS No. 133 and no
amounts were included in earnings as a result of the interest rate swaps being
ineffective, nor were any amounts excluded from the assessment of effectiveness.
At December 31, 2002, $1.9 million of unrecognized pretax loss was included in
accumulated other comprehensive loss and of this amount, $1.6 million is
expected to be recognized in earnings in 2003.
Commodities Risk Management
The Company consumes or sells various commodities in the normal course of its
business and utilizes derivative instruments to minimize the variability in
forecasted cash flows due to price movements in certain of these commodities.
Transactions involving commodities that are the subject of the Company's risk
management policy include:
o purchases of jet fuel for BAX Global's North American fleet operations;
and
o revenues of the Company's gold and natural gas operations.
The Company enters into swap contracts and collars to hedge a portion of its
forecasted jet fuel purchases for use in the BAX Global aircraft operation.
Depending on market conditions, the Company has charged its customers a fuel
surcharge to offset the effects of high jet fuel prices. At December 31, 2002,
the outstanding notional amount of hedges for jet fuel totaled 19 million
gallons.
The Company enters into forward gold sales contracts to fix the Australian
dollar selling price on a portion of forecasted gold sales. At December 31,
2002, the notional amount of gold under forward sales contracts (excluding
hedges entered into by equity affiliates) was approximately 89,000 ounces,
representing approximately 57% of the Company's share of the gold operations'
proven and probable reserves.
The Company enters into swap contracts and collars to hedge a portion of its
forecasted natural gas sales. At December 31, 2002, the outstanding notional
amount of hedges was 0.6 million MMbtu.
The Company has designated its commodity hedges as cash flow hedges for
accounting purposes. Effectiveness is assessed based on the total changes in the
estimated
-72-
present value of cash flows for its jet fuel and natural gas hedges. The
effectiveness of gold hedges is assessed based on changes in the spot rate of
gold and the Australian dollar exchange rate and other changes in expected cash
flows are excluded from the assessment.
For jet fuel, the changes in fair value are recorded in other comprehensive loss
and subsequently reclassified to earnings, as a component of operating expenses,
in the same period as the jet fuel is used. For gold contracts, the changes in
fair value are recorded in other accumulated comprehensive loss and subsequently
reclassified to earnings, as a component of either revenue or, if related to its
equity affiliate, other operating income, net in the same period as the gold is
sold. Amounts excluded in the assessment of effectiveness are included as a
component of other operating income, net. For natural gas contracts, the changes
in fair value are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and
subsequently reclassified to earnings, as a component of either revenue or, if
related to royalty income, other operating income, net.

(a) See Note 8.
Foreign Currency Risk Management
The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange fluctuations due to certain
transactions to which the Company is a party. Certain customers are billed for
BAX Global's services in currencies that are different than the functional
currency of the subsidiary that recognizes the sale. Certain transportation
costs incurred by BAX Global's non-U.S. subsidiaries are denominated in
currencies that are different than the subsidiaries' functional currency. The
Company's BAX Global operation has a wholly owned international subsidiary that
serves as a finance coordination center. The subsidiary has the U.S. dollar as
its functional currency, and has intercompany receivables and payables that are
not denominated in U.S. dollars.
The Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to minimize the
variability in cash flows due to foreign currency risks. The contracts have not
been designated for accounting purposes as hedges in accordance with SFAS No.
133 due to their short-term nature. Because the contracts are settled shortly
after they are entered into, any gains and losses that would be deferred at any
balance sheet date if the Company designated the instruments as hedges, would be
small. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of foreign currency forward
contracts are reported in earnings. The Company's foreign currency forward
contracts provide an economic hedge of the risk associated with the changes in
currency rates on the related assets and liabilities.
As of December 31, 2002, the maximum length of time over which the Company is
hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows associated with
foreign currency forecasted transactions is 18 months.
NON-DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Non-derivative financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents
and trade receivables. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with
high credit quality financial institutions and the Company limits the amount of
credit exposure to any one financial institution. Concentrations of credit risk
with respect to trade receivables are reduced as a result of the diversification
benefit provided by the large number of customers comprising the Company's
customer base, and their dispersion across many different industries and
geographic areas. Credit limits, ongoing credit evaluation and
account-monitoring procedures are utilized to minimize the risk of loss from
nonperformance on trade receivables.
-73-
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts
payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term
nature of these instruments.
The fair value of the Company's floating-rate short-term and long-term debt
approximates the carrying amount. The fair value of the Company's significant
fixed rate long-term debt is described below. Fair value is estimated by
discounting the future cash flows using rates for similar debt instruments at
the valuation date.

RESTRUCTURING - 2000
During 2000, BAX Global finalized a restructuring plan aimed at reducing the
capacity and cost of its airlift capabilities in the U.S. as well as reducing
station operating expenses, sales, general and administrative expense in the
Americas and Atlantic regions. The actions taken included:
o The removal of ten planes from the fleet, nine of which were dedicated to
providing lift capacity in BAX Global's commercial cargo system.
o The closure of nine operating stations and realignment of domestic
operations.
o The reduction of employee-related costs through the elimination of
approximately 300 full-time positions including aircraft crew and station
operating, sales and business unit overhead positions.
In addition, certain Atlantic region operations were streamlined in order to
reduce overhead costs and improve overall performance in that region. The
Atlantic region planned restructuring efforts involved severance costs and
station closing costs in the UK, Denmark, Italy and South Africa. Approximately
50 positions were eliminated, most of which were positions at or above manager
level.
The following is a summary of the 2000 restructuring charges:

restructuring in 2001 by a net $0.2 million as a result of changes in the
estimate of certain liabilities.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
ACMI AGREEMENTS
At December 31, 2002, the Company had aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance
("ACMI") agreements with third parties to provide aircraft usage and services to
BAX Global, which expire in 2003 through 2004. The fixed and determinable
portion of the obligations under ACMI agreements aggregate approximately $32.5
million in 2003 and $6.6 million in 2004. Amounts purchased under these
arrangements, including any variable component based on hours of usage, were
$49.4 million in 2002, $63.4 million in 2001 and $84.2 million in 2000.
FORMER COAL OPERATIONS
The Company is continuing to market the residual assets of its former coal
operations, and expects purchasers to assume a portion of the Company's coal
equipment operating leases and advance minimum royalty obligations. Advance
royalty payments relate to the right to access and mine coal properties. These
advance royalty payments are recoverable against future production by purchasers
of the residual coal assets. Amounts paid by the Company's former coal
operations under these arrangements, including any variable component, were $6.6
million in 2002, $9.8 million in 2001, and $9.5 million in 2000. The variable
component is based on coal produced pursuant to the mineral lease agreements.
The Company has recorded a $14.7 million liability for the present value of
obligations (including $5.1 million accrued in continuing operations in 2002)
that are not expected to be assumed by purchasers.
Future minimum lease and royalty payments due under the agreements at December
31, 2002 were as follows:

In connection with the sale of certain assets and businesses of the former coal
operations, the Company subleased to Alpha Natural Resources, LLC, coal mining
equipment that has $2.6 million of remaining lease payments. The sublease has
substantially the same terms and conditions as the Company's leases. If Alpha
does not meet its sublease obligations, the Company would be required to pay any
remaining lease payments.
PURCHASE AGREEMENTS
At December 31, 2002, the Company had noncancelable commitments to purchase
$13.2 million of equipment and $12.0 million of computer processing and
consulting services.
FEDERAL BLACK LUNG EXCISE TAX ("FBLET")
On February 10, 1999, the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of
Virginia entered a final judgment in favor of certain of the Company's
subsidiaries, ruling that the FBLET is unconstitutional as applied to export
coal sales. A total of $0.8 million (including interest) was
-75-
refunded in 1999 for the FBLET that those companies paid for the first quarter
of 1997. The Company sought refunds of the FBLET it paid on export coal sales
for all open statutory periods and received refunds of $23.4 million (including
interest) during the fourth quarter of 2001. During the fourth quarter of 2002,
the Company reached a settlement under which it will collect additional refunds
of $3.2 million.
The Company continues to pursue the refund of other FBLET payments. Due to
uncertainty as to the ultimate additional future amounts to be received, if any,
which could amount to as much as $18 million (before income taxes), as well as
the timing of any additional FBLET refunds, the Company has not currently
recorded receivables for such additional FBLET refunds.
ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
The Company has agreed to pay 80% of the remediation costs arising from
hydrocarbon contamination at a formerly owned petroleum terminal facility
("Tankport") in Jersey City, New Jersey, which was sold in 1983. The Company is
in the process of remediating the site under an approved plan. The Company
estimates its portion of the actual remaining clean-up and operational and
maintenance costs, on an undiscounted basis, to be between $2.2 million and $4.3
million. The Company is in discussions with another potentially responsible
party to recover a portion of the amount paid and to be paid by the Company
related to this matter.
LITIGATION
The Company is defending potentially significant civil suits relating to its
former coal business. Although the Company is defending these cases vigorously
and believes that its defenses have merit, there exists the possibility that one
or more of these suits ultimately may be decided in favor of the plaintiffs. If
so, the Company expects that the ultimate amount of unaccrued losses could range
from $0 to $25 million.
SURETY BONDS
The Company is required by various state and federal laws to provide security
with regard to its obligations to pay workers' compensation, to reclaim lands
used for mining by the Company's former coal operations and to satisfy other
benefits. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had outstanding surety bonds with
third parties totaling approximately $235 million that it has arranged in order
to satisfy the various security requirements. Most of these bonds provide
financial security for previously recorded liabilities. Because some of the
Company's reclamation obligations have been assumed by purchasers of the
Company's former coal operations, $67 million of the Company's surety bonds are
expected to be replaced by purchasers' surety bonds. These bonds are typically
renewable on a yearly basis, however there can be no assurance the bonds will be
renewed or that premiums in the future will not increase. If the surety bonds
are not renewed, the Company believes that it has adequate available borrowing
capacity under its U.S. credit facility to provide letters of credit or other
collateral to secure its obligations.

(a) Income (loss) from discontinued operations reflects the operations and
losses on disposal of the Company's former coal operations. Some of the
expenses recorded within discontinued operations will continue after the
disposition of the coal business is complete and will be recorded within
continuing operations. The expenses that are expected to continue primarily
consist of postretirement and other employee benefits associated with
Company-sponsored plans and black lung obligations; reclamation and other
costs for retained inactive operations, if any; and administrative and legal
expenses to oversee residual assets and retained benefit obligations. See
Note 5. In accordance with APB No. 30, the Company included these expenses
within discontinued operations for all periods presented above. Beginning in
2003, expenses related to our Company-sponsored pension and postretirement
benefit obligations, black lung obligations and related administrative costs
will be recorded as a component of continuing operations. The amount of
expenses related to postretirement and other employee benefits associated
with the Company-sponsored plans and black lung obligations that were
charged to discontinued operations were $2 million, $53 million, and $48
million for the years ended 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. As required
by APB No. 30, expenses recorded in 2000 include both the actual expenses
for that year plus an accrual of costs through the expected disposal period,
which at the time was expected to be the end of 2001. Expenses recorded in
2001 represent an estimate of costs for 2002 due to the extension of the
expected disposal period to the end of 2002. Future adjustments to
contingent liabilities will continue to be recorded within discontinued
operations.
(b) The Company's results for 2000 include a noncash after-tax charge of $52.0
million, or $1.04 per diluted share, to reflect the cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle pursuant to guidance issued in Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,"
by the Securities and Exchange Commission in December 1999 and a related
interpretation issued in October 2000.
(c) Prior to January 14, 2000, the Company was comprised of three separate
groups - Pittston Brink's Group, Pittston BAX Group, and Pittston Minerals
Group. The Pittston Brink's Group included the Brink's and BHS operations of
the Company. The Pittston BAX Group included the BAX Global operations of
the Company. The Pittston Minerals Group included the Pittston Coal Company
and Mineral Ventures operations of the Company. Also, prior to January 14,
2000, the Company had three classes of common stock: Pittston Brink's Group
Common Stock ("Brink's Stock"), Pittston BAX Group Common Stock ("BAX
Stock") and Pittston Minerals Group Common Stock ("Minerals Stock"), which
were designed to provide shareholders with separate securities reflecting
the performance of the Brink's Group, the BAX Group and the Minerals Group,
respectively. On December 6, 1999, the Company announced that its Board of
Directors approved the elimination of the tracking stock capital structure
by an exchange of all outstanding shares of Minerals Stock and BAX Stock for
shares of Brink's Stock (the "Exchange"). The Exchange took place on January
14, 2000.
(d) Pro forma income per share amounts prior to 2000 have been adjusted to show
the effect of the change in accounting noted in (b) above as if it had been
in effect all periods.
