Key Employees' Deferred Compensation Program of ----------------------------------------------- The Brink's Company ------------------- As Amended and Restated ----------------------- As of January 1, 2005 --------------------- PREAMBLE -------- The Key Employees' Deferred Compensation Program of The Brink's Company (the "Program"), as amended and restated as of January 1, 2005, is a continuation and improvement of the Program as in effect immediately prior to such date. Effective January 14, 2000, the Program was amended and restated to reflect the exchange of .4848 of a share of Pittston Brink's Group Common Stock for each outstanding share of Pittston BAX Group Common Stock and .0817 of a share of Pittston Brink's Group Common stock for each outstanding share of Pittston Minerals Group Common Stock. In addition, effective as of January 14, 2000, participants may defer amounts payable under The Brink's Company Management Performance Improvement Plan. The Program continues to provide an opportunity to certain employees to defer receipt of (a) all or part of their cash incentive payments awarded under the Key Employees Incentive Plan of The Brink's Company; (b) up to 50% of their base salary; and (c) any or all amounts that are prevented from being deferred as a matched contribution (and the related matching contribution) under The Brink's Company 401(k) Plan ("Savings Plan") as a result of limitations imposed by Sections 401(a)(17), 401(k)(3), 402(g) and 415 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). In order to align the interests of participants more closely to the long-term interests of The Brink's Company (the "Company") and its shareholders, effective June 1, 1995, the Program was amended to provide matching contributions with respect to certain cash incentive awards and salary deferrals
2 and to provide that an amount equivalent to matching contributions that are not eligible to be made under the Savings Plan as a result of limitations imposed by Code Section 401(m)(2) shall be allocated under this Program. The Program was again amended and restated effective as of January 19, 1996, to reflect the redesignation of the Pittston Services Group Common Stock as Brink's Group Common Stock and the creation of a new class of common stock designated as Pittston BAX Group Common Stock. Effective January 1, 2005, the Program was amended to comply with the provisions of Code Section 409A and Treasury Regulations issued thereunder. Each provision and term of the amendment should be interpreted accordingly, but if any provision or term of such amendment would be prohibited by or be inconsistent with Code Section 409A or would contribute a material modification to the Program, then such provision or term shall be deemed to be reformed to comply with Code Section 409A or be ineffective to the extent it results in a material modification to the Plan, without affecting the remainder of such amendment. The amendments apply solely to amounts deferred on and after January 1, 2005, plus any deferral elections prior to January 1, 2005, for amounts that are not earned and vested as of such date (plus earnings on such amounts deferred). Amounts deferred prior to January 1, 2005, that are earned and vested as of December 31, 2004, including any earnings on such amounts credited prior to, and on or after January 1, 2005, shall remain subject to the terms of the Program as in effect prior to January 1, 2005. The Program is an unfunded plan maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees, within the meaning of Section 201(2) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

8 Incentive Plan: The Key Employees Incentive Plan of The Brink's Company, as in effect from time to time or any successor thereto. Matching Incentive Contributions: Matching contributions allocated to an Employee's Incentive Account pursuant to Section 4 of this Article III. SECTION 2. Eligibility. The Committee shall designate the key management, professional or technical Employees who may defer all or part of their Cash Incentive Payments for any Year pursuant to this Article III. An Employee designated to participate in this portion of the Program pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall be eligible to receive a Matching Incentive Contribution for a Year if (a) his or her Salary (on an annualized basis) as of the preceding December 31 is at least equal to $160,000 (as adjusted for Years after 1999 to reflect the limitation in effect under Code Section 401(a)(17) for the Year in which the Employee's election to participate is filed) or (b) he or she is so designated by the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a newly hired Employee will be eligible to receive a Matching Incentive Contribution for his or her initial Year of employment if his or her Salary (on an annualized basis) in effect on his or her first day of employment with the Company or a Subsidiary will exceed the threshold amount determined pursuant to Code Section 401(a)(17) for his or her initial calendar year of employment. SECTION 3. Deferral of Cash Incentive Payments. Each Employee whom the Committee has selected to be eligible to defer a Cash Incentive Payment for any Year pursuant to this Article III may make an election to defer all or part (in multiples of 10%) of any Cash Incentive Payment which may be made to him or her for such Year. Such Employee's election for any Year shall be made prior to
9 January 1 of such Year; provided, however, that with respect to the 1995 Year, an Employee who is eligible to receive a Matching Incentive Contribution pursuant to Section 2 of this Article III may make such election at any time prior to June 1, 1995, for Cash Incentive Payments paid for 1995 if he or she (a) has not previously made a deferral election for 1995 or (b) wishes to increase the percentage of his Cash Incentive Payment to be deferred. An Incentive Account (which may be the same Incentive Account established pursuant to Articles IV, V and/or VI) shall be established for each Employee making such election and Units in respect of such deferred payment shall be credited to such Incentive Account as provided in Section 6 below. SECTION 4. Matching Incentive Contributions. Effective for the 1995 Year, each Employee who is eligible to receive Matching Incentive Contributions pursuant to Section 2 of this Article III shall have a Matching Incentive Contribution allocated to his or her Incentive Account. Such Matching Incentive Contribution shall be equal to the amount of his or her Cash Incentive Payment that he or she has elected to defer but not in excess of 10% of his or her Cash Incentive Payment. The dollar amount of each Employee's Matching Incentive Contributions shall be credited to his or her Incentive Account as of the January 1 next following the Year in respect of which the Cash Incentive Payment was made. Units in respect of such amounts shall be credited to such Incentive Account as provided in Section 7 below. SECTION 5. Irrevocability of Election. Except as provided in Section 3 of this Article III, an election to defer Cash Incentive Payments under the Program for any Year shall be irrevocable after the first day of such Year.
10 SECTION 6. Conversion of New Deferrals and Matching Incentive Contributions to Brink's Units. For Years after 1999, the amount of an Employee's deferred Cash Incentive Payment (and related Matching Incentive Contributions) for any Year shall be converted to Brink's Units and shall be credited to such Employee's Incentive Account as of the January 1 next following the Year in respect of which the Cash Incentive Payment was made. The number (computed to the second decimal place) of Units so credited shall be determined by dividing the aggregate amount of the deferred Cash Incentive Payment and related Matching Incentive Contributions credited to the Employee's Incentive Account for such Year by the average of the high and low per share quoted sale prices of Brink's Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape on each trading day during the month of December of the Year immediately prior to the crediting of Units. SECTION 7. Conversion of Existing Incentive Accounts to Brink's Units. As of the Exchange Date, all BAX Units and Minerals Units in an Employee's Incentive Account attributable to Cash Incentive Payments (and related Matching Incentive Contributions) shall be converted into Brink's Units by multiplying the number of BAX Units and Minerals Units in the Employee's Incentive Account by the BAX Exchange Ratio or the Minerals Exchange Ratio, respectively. SECTION 8. Adjustments. The Committee shall determine such equitable adjustments in the Units credited to each Incentive Account as may be appropriate to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization, combination, or exchange of shares, split-up, split-off, spin-off, liquidation or other similar change in capitalization or any distribution to common shareholders other than cash dividends. SECTION 9. Dividends and Distributions. Whenever a cash dividend or any other distribution is paid with respect to shares of Brink's Stock, the Incentive Account of each Employee will be credited with an additional number of Brink's Units, equal to the number of shares of Brink's Stock including
11 fractional shares (computed to the second decimal place), that could have been purchased had such dividend or other distribution been paid to the Incentive Account on the payment date for such dividend or distribution based on the number of shares represented by Units in such Incentive Account as of such date and assuming the amount of such dividend or value of such distribution had been used to acquire additional Brink's Units. Such additional Brink's Units shall be deemed to be purchased at the average of the high and low per share quoted sale prices of Brink's Stock, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape on the payment date for the dividend or other distribution. The value of any distribution in property will be determined by the Committee. SECTION 10. Allocation of Units as of July 1, 1994. As of July 1, 1994, the number of Units credited to an Employee's Incentive Account shall be equal to the number of Units credited to his Incentive Account as of June 30, 1994, under the Key Employees Deferred Payment Program of The Brink's Company. SECTION 11. Minimum Distribution. Distributions shall be made in accordance with Article VII; provided, however, that the aggregate value of the Brink's Stock and cash distributed to an Employee (and his or her beneficiaries) in respect of all Units standing to his or her credit in his or her Incentive Account attributable to deferrals of Cash Incentive Payments (including related dividends but not Matching Incentive Contributions) shall not be less than the aggregate amount of Cash Incentive Payments and dividends (credited to his or her Incentive Account pursuant to Section 9) in respect of which such Units were initially so credited. The value of the Brink's Stock, so distributed shall be considered equal to the average of the high and low per share quoted sale prices of Brink's Stock, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape for the last trading day of the month preceding the month of distribution.
12 ARTICLE IV Deferral of Salary ------------------ SECTION 1. Definitions. Wherever used in this Article IV, the following term shall have the meaning indicated: Matching Salary Contributions: Matching contributions allocated to an Employee's Incentive Account pursuant to Section 4 of this Article IV. SECTION 2. Eligibility. An Employee may participate in the benefits provided pursuant to this Article IV for any Year if (a) his or her Salary (on an annualized basis) as of the preceding December 31 is at least equal to $160,000 (as adjusted for Years after 1999 to reflect the limitation in effect under Code Section 401(a)(17) for the Year in which the Employee's election to participate is filed) or (b) he or she is designated by the Committee as eligible to participate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a newly hired Employee will be eligible to defer a portion of his or her Salary during his or her initial Year of employment if his or her Salary (on an annualized basis) in effect on his or her first day of employment with the Company or a Subsidiary will exceed the threshold amount determined pursuant to Code Section 401(a)(17) for his or her initial calendar year of employment. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, an Employee who is eligible to defer a portion of his or her Salary shall continue to be so eligible unless his or her Salary for any Year (on an annualized basis) is less than $150,000, in which case he or she shall be ineligible to participate in the benefits provided under this Article IV until his or her Salary again exceeds the threshold amount determined pursuant to Code Section 401(a)(17) for the Year prior to the Year of participation.
13 SECTION 3. Deferral of Salary. Each Employee who is eligible to defer Salary for any Year pursuant to this Article IV may elect to defer up to 50% (in multiples of 5%) of his or her Salary for such Year; provided, however, that in the case of a newly hired Employee who is eligible to participate for his or her initial Year of employment, only up to 50% of Salary earned after he or she files a deferral election with the Committee may be deferred. Such Employee's initial election hereunder for any Year shall be made prior to the first day of such Year or within 30 days after his or her initial date of employment and with respect to services performed after the date of such election; provided, however, that with respect to the 1995 Year, an eligible Employee may make such election at any time prior to June 1, 1995, if he (a) has not previously made a deferral election under this Article IV for 1995 or (b) wishes to increase the percentage of his Salary to be deferred for 1995. Such election under (a) or (b) shall apply only to Salary earned after June 1, 1995. An election to defer Salary shall remain in effect for subsequent Years unless and until a new election is filed with the Committee by the December 31 preceding the Year for which the new election is to be effective. An Incentive Account (which may be the same Incentive Account established pursuant to Articles III, V and/or VI) shall be established for each Employee making such election and such Incentive Account shall be credited as of the last day of each month with the dollar amount of deferred Salary for such month pursuant to such election. Units in respect of such amounts shall be credited to such Incentive Account as provided in Section 6 below.
14 SECTION 4. Matching Salary Contributions. Effective June 1, 1995, each Employee who has deferred a percentage of his Salary for a Year pursuant to Section 2 of this Article IV shall have Matching Salary Contributions allocated to his or her Incentive Account. Such Matching Salary Contributions shall be equal to 100% of the first 10% of his Salary that he or she has elected to defer for the Year (earned after June 1, 1995, for the 1995 Year). The dollar amount of each Employee's Matching Salary Contributions shall be credited to his or her Incentive Account as of the last day of each month. Units in respect of such amounts shall be credited to such Incentive Account as provided in Section 6 below. SECTION 5. Irrevocability of Election. Except as provided in Section 3 of this Article IV, an election to defer Salary under the Program for any Year shall be irrevocable after the first day of such Year or after 30 days after his or her initial date of employment, if later. SECTION 6. Conversion of New Deferrals, Matching Salary Contributions and Dividends to Brink's Units. For Years after 1999, the amount of an Employee's deferred Salary (and related Matching Salary Contributions) for any Year shall be converted to Brink's Units and shall be credited to such Employee's Incentive Account as of the January 1 next following the Year in which such Salary was earned. The number (computed to the second decimal place) of Units so credited shall be determined by dividing the aggregate amount of all such deferred Salary (and related Matching Salary Contributions) credited to his or her Incentive Account for such Year by the average of the high and low per share quoted sale prices of Brink's Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape for each trading day during the Year immediately prior to the crediting of Units. In addition, an additional number of Units shall be credited to an Employee's Incentive Account as of the January 1 next following such Year in the event a dividend or other distribution is paid with respect to shares of Brink's Stock during the Year. The number of additional Units shall be equal to the number of shares of Brink's Stock including fractional shares (computed to the
15 second decimal place), that could have been purchased if (a) the number of Brink's Units credited to the Employee's Incentive Account for the Year pursuant to the preceding paragraph had been credited ratably throughout the Year, (b) the dividend or other distribution had been paid to the Incentive Account on the payment date based on the number of Shares represented by the Units credited pursuant to (a) above had a ratable number of Units been credited on the record date for the dividend or distribution, and (c) such dividend or the value of such distribution had been used to acquire additional Units. Such additional Units shall be deemed to be purchased at the average of the high and low per share quoted sale prices of Brink's Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape on the payment date for the dividend or other distribution. The value of any distribution in property will be determined by the Committee. Upon the Employee's termination of employment, any cash amounts not converted into Units credited to his or her Incentive Account in dollars shall be converted into Brink's Units in the manner described in this Section 6 based on the quoted sale prices (including any sale prices determined on a when issued basis) of Brink's Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape for each trading day during the portion of the Year preceding the month of termination. Such Employee's Incentive Account shall also be credited with an additional number of Units in the event a dividend or other distribution is paid with respect to shares of Brink's Stock during the Year prior to his or her termination of employment. The additional number of Units shall be determined in accordance with this Section 6 assuming that the number of Brink's Units credited to his or her Incentive Account during the Year as a result of his or her termination of employment had been credited ratably during the portion of the Year preceding his or her termination.
16 SECTION 7. Conversion of Existing Incentive Accounts to Brink's Units. As of the Exchange Date, all BAX Units and Minerals Units in an Employee's Incentive Account attributable to deferred salary (and related Matching Salary Contributions) shall be converted into Brink's Units by multiplying the number of BAX Units and Minerals Units in the Employee's Incentive Account by the BAX Exchange Ratio or the Minerals Exchange Ratio, respectively. SECTION 8. Adjustments. The Committee shall determine such equitable adjustments in the Units credited to each Incentive Account as may be appropriate to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization, combination, or exchange of shares, split-up, split-off, spin-off, liquidation or other similar change in capitalization or any distribution to common shareholders other than cash dividends. SECTION 9. Dividends and Distributions. Whenever a cash dividend or any other distribution is paid with respect to shares of Brink's Stock, the Incentive Account of each Employee will be credited with an additional number of Brink's Units equal to the number of shares of Brink's Stock, including fractional shares (computed to the second decimal place), that could have been purchased had such dividend or other distribution been paid to the Incentive Account on the payment date for such dividend or distribution based on the number of shares represented by the Units in such Incentive Account as of such date and assuming the amount of such dividend or value of such distribution had been used to acquire additional Brink's Units. Such additional Brink's Units shall be deemed to be purchased at the average of the high and low per share quoted sale prices of Brink's Stock, as the case may be, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape on the payment date for the dividend or other distribution. The value of any distribution in property will be determined by the Committee.
17 SECTION 10. Minimum Distribution. Distributions shall be made in accordance with Article VII; provided, however, the aggregate value of the Brink's Stock and cash distributed to an Employee (and his or her beneficiaries) in respect of all Units standing to his or her credit in his or her Incentive Account attributable to the deferral of Salary (including related dividends but not Matching Salary Contributions) shall not be less than the aggregate amount of Salary and dividends in respect of which Units were initially so credited. The value of the Brink's Stock so distributed shall be considered equal to the average of the high and low per share quoted sale prices of Brink's Stock, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape for the last trading day of the month preceding the month of distribution. ARTICLE V Supplemental Savings Plan ------------------------- SECTION 1. Definitions. Whenever used in this Article V, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated: Compensation: The regular wages received during any pay period by an Employee while a participant in the Savings Plan for services rendered to the Company or any Subsidiary that participates in the Savings Plan, including any commissions or bonuses, but excluding any overtime or premium pay, living or other expense allowances, or contributions by the Company or such Subsidiaries to any plan of deferred compensation, and determined without regard to the application of any salary reduction election under the Savings Plan. Bonuses paid pursuant to the Incentive Plan shall be considered received in the Year in which they are payable whether or not such bonus is deferred pursuant to Article III hereof.
18 Incentive Plan: The Key Employees Incentive Plan of The Brink's Company, as in effect from time to time or any successor thereto. Matching Contributions: Amounts allocated to an Employee's Incentive Account pursuant to Section 4 of this Article V. Savings Plan: The Brink's Company 401(k) Plan, as in effect from time to time. SECTION 2. Eligibility. An Employee may participate in the benefits provided pursuant to this Article V for any Year if his or her Salary (on an annualized basis) as of the preceding December 31 is at least equal to $160,000 (as adjusted for Years after 1999 to reflect the limitation in effect under Code Section 401(a)(17) for the Year in which the Employee's election to participate is filed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a newly hired Employee is eligible to participate in the benefits provided pursuant to this Article V if his or her Salary (on an annualized basis) in effect on his or her first day of employment with the Company or a Subsidiary will exceed the threshold amount determined pursuant to Code Section 401(a)(17) for his or her initial calendar year of employment. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, an Employee who is eligible to participate in the benefits provided pursuant to this Article V shall continue to be so eligible unless his or her Salary for any Year is less than $150,000, in which case he or she shall be ineligible to participate in the benefits provided under this Article V until his or her Salary again exceeds the threshold amount determined pursuant to Code Section 401(a)(17) for the Year prior to the Year of participation. SECTION 3. Deferral of Compensation. Effective July 1, 1994, each Employee who is not permitted to defer the maximum percentage of his or her Compensation that may be contributed as a matched contribution under the Savings Plan for any Year as a result of limitations imposed by Sections 401(a)(17), 401(k)(3),
19 402(g) and/or 415 of the Code may elect to defer all or part of the excess of (a) such maximum percentage (five percent for 1994) of his or her Compensation for the calendar year (without regard to any limitation on such amount imposed by Code Section 401(a)(17)) over (b) the amount actually contributed on his or her behalf under the Savings Plan for such calendar year as a matched contribution; provided, however, that with respect to the 1994 Year, only Compensation paid after July 1, 1994, may be deferred. In order to be permitted to defer any portion of his or her Compensation pursuant to this Section 3 of Article V, the Employee must elect to defer the maximum amount permitted as a matched contribution for the calendar year under the Savings Plan. Such Employee's initial election hereunder for any Year shall be made prior to the first day of such Year or within 30 days after his or her initial date of employment and with respect to services performed after the date of such election. Such election shall remain in effect for subsequent Years unless and until a new election is filed with the Committee by the December 31 preceding the Year for which the new election is to be effective. An Incentive Account (which may be the same Incentive Account established pursuant to Article III, IV and/or VI) shall be established for each Employee making such election and such Incentive Account shall be credited as of the last day of each month with the dollar amount of the Compensation deferred for such month pursuant to such election; provided, however, that in the event an Employee is not permitted to defer the maximum percentage of his or her Compensation that may be contributed as a matched contribution under the Savings Plan for any year as a result of the limitation imposed by Code Section 401(k)(3), such excess contribution shall be distributed to the Employee, his Compensation paid after the date of the distribution shall be reduced by that amount and such amount shall be allocated to his Incentive Account as of the January 1 next following the Year for which the excess contribution was made under the Savings Plan. Units in respect of such amounts shall be credited to such Incentive Account as provided in Section 6 below.
20 SECTION 4. Matching Contributions. Each Employee who elects to defer a portion of his or her Compensation for a Year pursuant to Section 3 of this Article V shall have a Matching Contribution allocated to his or her Incentive Account equal to the rate of matching contributions in effect for such Employee under the Savings Plan for such Year multiplied by the amount elected to be deferred pursuant to Section 3 above for each month in such Year. The dollar amount of each Employee's Matching Contributions for each month shall be credited to his or her Incentive Account as of the last day of each month. Subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Company at the 1995 annual meeting, if an Employee is participating in this portion of the Program pursuant to Section 2 of this Article V and his or her matching contribution under the Savings Plan for 1994 or any later year will be reduced as a result of the nondiscrimination test contained in Code Section 401(m)(2), (a) to the extent such matching contribution is forfeitable, it shall be forfeited and that amount shall be allocated to his or her Incentive Account as a Matching Contribution or (b) to the extent such matching contribution is not forfeitable, it shall be distributed to the Employee, his Compensation paid after the date of the distribution shall be reduced by that amount and such amount shall be allocated to his or her Incentive Account as a Matching Contribution. The dollar amount of such Matching Contribution shall be allocated to each Employee's Incentive Account as of the January 1 next following the Year for which the matching contribution was made under the Savings Plan. Units in respect of such contribution shall be credited to the Employee's Incentive Account as provided in Section 7 below.
21 SECTION 5. Irrevocability of Election. An election to defer amounts under the Program for any Year shall be irrevocable after the first day of such Year or after the date on which he or she is first eligible to participate in the Savings Plan, if later. SECTION 6. Conversion of New Deferrals, Matching Contributions and Dividends to Brink's Units. The amount of an Employee's deferred Compensation and Matching Contributions for any Year shall be converted to Brink's Units and shall be credited to such Employee's Incentive Account as of the January 1 next following the Year in which such Compensation was earned or for which the Matching Contribution was made. The number (computed to the second decimal place) of Units so credited shall be determined by dividing the aggregate amount of all such amounts credited to the Employee's Incentive Account for such Year attributable to (a) the deferral of amounts awarded under the Incentive Plan (including related Matching Contributions) by the average of the high and low per share quoted sale prices of Brink's Stock, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape on each trading day during the month of December of the Year immediately prior to the crediting of such Units, (b) Compensation and Matching Contributions allocated to an Incentive Account as a result of failing to satisfy the tests included in Code Sections 401(k)(3) or 401(m)(2) under the Savings Plan, by the average of the high and low per share quoted sales prices of Brink's Stock, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape on each trading day during the month of April of the Year in which such Units are credited to the Employee's Incentive Account and (c) the deferral of all other Compensation (including related Matching Contributions) by the average of the high and low per share quoted sale prices of Brink's Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape (i) on each trading day during the period commencing on the first day of the month after the Employee's salary (as such term is defined in
22 the Savings Plan) equals the maximum amount of considered compensation for such Year pursuant to Code Section 401(a)(17) and ending on December 31 or (ii) in the event the Employee's salary equals the maximum amount of considered compensation in December, on the first trading day in the following January. In addition, an additional number of Units shall be credited to an Employee's Incentive Account as of the January 1 of the following Year in the event a dividend or other distribution is paid with respect to shares of Brink's Stock during the Year. The number of additional Units shall be equal to the number of shares of Brink's Stock, including fractional shares (computed to the second decimal place), that could have been purchased if (a) the number of Brink's Units credited to the Employee's Incentive Account, for the Year pursuant to the preceding paragraph had been credited ratably throughout the portion of the Year commencing on the first day of the month after the Employee's salary (as defined in the Savings Plan) equals the maximum amount of considered compensation for such Year pursuant to Code Section 401(a)(17), (b) the dividend or other distribution had been paid to the Incentive Account on the payment date based on the number of shares represented by the Units credited pursuant to (a) above had a ratable number of Units been credited on the record date for the dividend or distribution, and (c) such dividend or the value of such distribution had been used to acquire additional Units. Such additional Units shall be deemed to be purchased at the average of the high and low per share quoted sale prices of Brink's Stock, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape on the payment date for the dividend or other distribution. The value of any distribution in property will be determined by the Committee. Upon the Employee's termination of employment, any cash amounts not converted into Units credited to his or her Incentive Account in dollars shall be converted into Brink's Units in the manner described in this Section 6 based on the quoted sale prices (including any sale prices determined on a when issued
23 basis) of Brink's Stock, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape for each trading day during the portion of the Year preceding the month of termination. Such Employee's Incentive Account shall also be credited with an additional number of Units in the event a dividend or other distribution is paid with respect to shares of Brink's Stock during the Year prior to his or her termination of employment. The additional number of Units shall be determined in accordance with this Section 6 assuming that the number of Brink's Units credited to his or her Incentive Account during the Year as a result of his or her termination of employment had been credited ratably during the portion of the Year preceding his or her termination. SECTION 7. Conversion of Existing Incentive Accounts to Brink's Units. As of the Exchange Date, all BAX Units and Minerals Units in an Employee's Incentive Account attributable to Compensation deferred pursuant to this Article V (and related Matching Contributions) shall be converted into Brink's Units by multiplying the number of such BAX Units and Minerals Units in the Employee's Incentive Account by the BAX Exchange Ratio or the Minerals Exchange Ratio, respectively. SECTION 8. Adjustments. The Committee shall determine such equitable adjustments in the Units credited to each Incentive Account as may be appropriate to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization, combination, or exchange of shares, split-up, split-off, spin-off, liquidation or other similar change in capitalization or any distribution to common shareholders other than cash dividends. SECTION 9. Dividends and Distributions. Whenever a cash dividend or any other distribution is paid with respect to shares of Brink's Stock, the Incentive Account of each Employee will be credited with an additional number of Brink's Units equal to the number of shares of Brink's Stock, including
24 fractional shares (computed to the second decimal place), that could have been purchased had such dividend or other distribution been paid to the Incentive Account on the payment date for such dividend or distribution based on the number of shares represented by the Units in such Incentive Account as of such date and assuming that the amount of such dividend or value of such distribution had been used to acquire additional Brink's Units of the class giving rise to the dividend or other distribution. Such additional Brink's Units shall be deemed to be purchased at the average of the high and low per share quoted sale prices of Brink's Stock, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape on the payment date for the dividend or other distribution. The value of any distribution in property will be determined by the Committee. ARTICLE VI Deferral of Performance Awards ------------------------------ SECTION 1. Definitions. Whenever used in this Article VI, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated: Cash Performance Payment: A cash incentive payment due to an Employee in any Year under the Management Performance Improvement Plan. Management Performance Improvement Plan: The Brink's Company Management Performance Improvement Plan, as in effect from time to time or any successor thereto. Performance Measurement Period: A performance cycle of one or more fiscal Years of the Company under the Management Performance Improvement Plan.
25 SECTION 2. Eligibility. Any Employee who is a participant in the Management Performance Improvement Plan may elect to defer all or part of his or her Cash Performance Payment payable under such plan pursuant to this Article VI. SECTION 3. Deferral of Cash Performance Payments. Each Employee who is eligible to defer his or her Cash Performance Payment for any Performance Measurement Period pursuant to this Article VI may make an election to defer all or part (in multiples of 10%) of any Cash Performance Payment which may be made to him or her for such Performance Measurement Period. If the Committee determines that a Cash Performance Payment relating to any Performance Measurement Period is "performance-based compensation" under Code Section 409A, such Employee's election shall be made prior to January 1 of the last Year in the Performance Measurement Period. If the Committee determines that a Cash Performance Payment relating to any Performance Measurement Period is not "performance-based compensation" under Code Section 409A, such Employee's election shall be made prior to the beginning of the Performance Measurement Period or by such other time as the Committee determines will satisfy Code Section 409A and Treasury Regulations issued thereunder. An Incentive Account (which may be the same Incentive Account established pursuant to Articles III, IV and/or V) shall be established for each Employee making such election and Units in respect of such deferred payment shall be credited to such Incentive Account as provided in Section 5 below. SECTION 4. Irrevocability of Election. An election to defer Cash Performance Payments under the Program for any Performance Measurement Period shall be irrevocable after the last date for making such an election, as specified in the second or third sentence of Section 3, above, as applicable.
26 SECTION 5. Conversion to Units. The amount of an Employee's deferred Cash Performance Payment for any Performance Measurement Period shall be converted to Brink's Units and shall be credited to such Employee's Incentive Account as of the first day of the month next following the date on which the Cash Performance Payment would be paid if it was not deferred pursuant to this Program. The number (computed to the second decimal place) of Brink's Units so credited shall be determined by dividing the aggregate amount of the deferred Cash Performance Payment credited to the Employee's Incentive Account for such Performance Measurement Period by the average of the high and low per share quoted sale prices of Brink's Stock, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape on each trading day during the month preceding the crediting of Units. SECTION 6. Adjustments. The Committee shall determine such equitable adjustments in the Units credited to each Incentive Account as may be appropriate to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization, combination, or exchange of shares, split-up, split-off, spin-off, liquidation or other similar change in capitalization or any distribution to common shareholders other than cash dividends. SECTION 7. Dividends and Distributions. Whenever a cash dividend or any other distribution is paid with respect to shares of Brink's Stock, the Incentive Account of each Employee will be credited with an additional number of Brink's Units equal to the number of shares of Brink's Stock, including fractional shares (computed to the second decimal place), that could have been purchased had such dividend or other distribution been paid to the Incentive Account on the payment date for such dividend or distribution based on the number of shares represented by Units in such Incentive Account as of such date and assuming the amount of such dividend or value of such distribution had been used to acquire additional Brink's Units. Such additional Brink's Units shall be
27 deemed to be purchased at the average of the high and low per share quoted sale prices of Brink's Stock, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape on the payment date for the dividend or other distribution. The value of any distribution in property will be determined by the Committee. SECTION 8. Minimum Distribution. Distributions shall be made in accordance with Article VII; provided, however, that the aggregate value of the Brink's Stock and cash distributed to an Employee (and his or her beneficiaries) in respect of all Units standing to his or her credit in his or her Incentive Account attributable to deferrals of Cash Performance Payments (including related dividends) shall not be less than the aggregate amount of Cash Performance Payments and dividends (credited to his or her Incentive Account pursuant to Section 7) in respect of which such Units were initially so credited. The value of the Brink's Stock, so distributed shall be considered equal to the average of the high and low per share quoted sale prices of Brink's Stock, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape for the last trading day of the month preceding the month of distribution. SECTION 9. Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Article VI providing for the deferral of Cash Performance Payments shall not become effective until May 5, 2000, and only upon approval of the Management Performance Improvement Plan by the Company's shareholders. ARTICLE VII Distributions ------------- SECTION 1. Certain Payments on Termination of Employment. Each Employee who has a Pre-2005 Incentive Account shall receive a distribution in Brink's Stock in respect of all Brink's Units standing to the credit of such Employee's
28 Pre-2005 Incentive Account (other than Units attributable to Matching Incentive Contributions, Matching Salary Contributions and dividends related thereto), in a single lump-sum distribution as soon as practicable following his or her termination of employment; provided, however, that an Employee may elect, at least 12 months prior to his or her termination of employment to receive distribution of the Shares represented by the Units credited to his or her Pre-2005 Incentive Account in equal annual installments (not more than ten) commencing on the first day of the month next following the date of his or her termination of employment (whether by death, disability, retirement or otherwise) or as promptly as practicable thereafter. Such Employee may at any time elect to change the manner of such payment, provided that any such election is made at least 12 months in advance of his or her termination of employment. Each Employee who has a Post-2004 Incentive Account shall receive a distribution in Brink's Stock in respect of all Brink's Units standing to the credit of such Employee's Post-2004 Incentive Account (other than Units attributable to Matching Incentive Contributions, Matching Salary Contributions and dividends related thereto) in a single-lump sum distribution no earlier than the six-month anniversary of such Employee's termination of employment, or as soon as practicable thereafter. An Employee may elect, at least 12 months prior to his or her termination of employment, to receive distribution of the Shares represented by the Units credited to his or her Post-2004 Incentive Account in equal annual installments (not more than ten) commencing not earlier than the last day of the month next following the fifth anniversary of the date of his or her termination of employment (for any reason) or as promptly as practicable thereafter. Any such election shall become effective on the 12-month anniversary of the date the election is made.
29 The number of shares of Brink's Stock to be included in each installment payment shall be determined by multiplying the number of Brink's Units in the Employee's Pre-2005 or Post 2004 Incentive Account, as applicable, as of the first day of the month preceding the initial installment payment and as of each succeeding anniversary of such date by a fraction, the numerator or which is one and the denominator of which is the number of remaining installments (including the current installment). Any fractional Units shall be converted to cash based on the average of the high and low per share quoted sale prices of the Brink's Stock, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape, on the last trading day of the month preceding the month of distribution and shall be paid in cash. SECTION 2. Payments Attributable to Matching Incentive Contributions and Matching Salary Contributions on Termination of Employment. In the event of the termination of employment of an Employee as a result of (a) death, (b) retirement after satisfying the requirements for early or normal retirement under a pension plan sponsored by the Company or a Subsidiary in which the Employee participated, (c) total and permanent disability (as defined in the Company's long-term disability plan) or (d) termination of employment for any reason within three years following a Change in Control, the Employee shall receive a distribution of Brink's Stock in respect of all Brink's Units standing to the credit of such Employee's Pre-2005 and Post-2004 Incentive Accounts attributable to Matching Incentive Contributions, Matching Salary Contributions and dividends related thereto in the same manner as provided in Section 1 of this Article VII for the distribution of other Units standing to the credit of such Employee's Pre-2005 and Post-2004 Incentive Accounts.
30 In the event of a termination of employment for a reason not described in the preceding paragraph, the Employee shall forfeit the Units in his or her Pre-2005 and Post-2004 Incentive Account attributable to Matching Incentive Contributions, Matching Salary Contributions and dividends related thereto for the Year in which the termination occurs. Such Employee shall be vested in the remaining Units standing to the credit of such Employee in his or her Pre-2005 and Post-2004 Incentive Accounts attributable to Matching Incentive Contributions, Matching Salary Contributions and dividends related thereto in accordance with the following schedule: Months of Participation Vested Percentage ----------------------- ----------------- less than 36 0 at least 36 but less than 48 50% at least 48 but less than 60 75% 60 or more 100% An Employee shall receive credit for one "month of participation" for each calendar month during which a deferral election is in effect pursuant to Section 3 of Articles III or IV. Brink's Stock, in respect of the vested Units standing to the credit of such Employee attributable to Matching Incentive Contributions, Matching Salary Contributions and dividends related thereto, shall be distributed in a single lump sum as soon as practicable following the third anniversary of his or her termination of employment. SECTION 3. In-Service Distributions. Solely with respect to an Employee's interest in his Pre-2005 Incentive Account, any Employee may make an election, on or before December 31 of any Year, to receive a distribution in Brink's Stock in a lump sum or in not more than ten equal annual installments, on or commencing as of January 1 of the second following Year (or as promptly as practicable thereafter), in respect of all Brink's Units (other than Units attributable to Matching Incentive Contributions, Matching Salary Contributions and dividends related thereto) standing to his or her credit in such Incentive
31 Account as of such January 1; provided, however, that no such election shall be effective if (a) such Employee has outstanding at such December 31 an election pursuant to Articles III, IV, V or VI to defer any amounts hereunder or (b) such Employee's employment shall terminate for any reason prior to such January 1. Such election to receive a distribution or distributions shall be irrevocable, except that it may be revoked, and a new election may be made, at any time prior to such December 31. The number of shares of Brink's Stock (and the amount of cash representing fractional Units) to be distributed shall be determined in the same manner as provided in Section 1 of this Article VII. No in-service distributions are permitted from an Employee's Post-2004 Incentive Account. ARTICLE VIII Designation of Beneficiary -------------------------- An Employee may designate in a written election filed with the Committee a beneficiary or beneficiaries (which may be an entity other than a natural person) to receive all distributions and payments under the Program after the Employee's death. Any such designation may be revoked, and a new election may be made, at any time and from time to time, by the Employee without the consent of any beneficiary. If the Employee designates more than one beneficiary, any distributions and payments to such beneficiaries shall be made in equal percentages unless the Employee has designated otherwise, in which case the distributions and payments shall be made in the percentages designated by the Employee. If no beneficiary has been named by the Employee or no beneficiary survives the Employee, the remaining Shares (including fractional Shares) in the Employee's Incentive Account shall be distributed or paid in a single sum to the Employee's estate. In the event of a beneficiary's death after installment
32 payments to the beneficiary have commenced, the remaining installments will be paid to a contingent beneficiary, if any, designated by the Employee or, in the absence of a surviving contingent beneficiary, the remaining Shares (including fractional Shares) shall be distributed or paid to the primary beneficiary's estate in a single distribution. All distributions shall be made in Shares except that fractional shares shall be paid in cash. ARTICLE IX Miscellaneous ------------- SECTION 1. Nontransferability of Benefits. Except as provided in Article VIII, Units credited to an Incentive Account shall not be transferable by an Employee or former Employee (or his or her beneficiaries) other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order. No Employee, no person claiming through such Employee, nor any other person shall have any right or interest under the Program, or in its continuance, in the payment of any amount or distribution of any Shares under the Program, unless and until all the provisions of the Program, any determination made by the Committee thereunder, and any restrictions and limitations on the payment itself have been fully complied with. Except as provided in this Section 1, no rights under the Program, contingent or otherwise, shall be transferable, assignable or subject to any pledge or encumbrance of any nature, nor shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be obligated, except as otherwise required by law, to recognize or give effect to any such transfer, assignment, pledge or encumbrance.
33 SECTION 2. Notices. The Company may require all elections contemplated by the Program to be made on forms provided by it. All notices, elections and other communications pursuant to the Program shall be in writing and shall be effective when received by the Company at the following address: The Brink's Company 1801 Bayberry Court P. O. Box 18100 Richmond, VA 23226-8100 Attention of Vice President -- Human Resources SECTION 3. Limitation on Rights of Employee. Nothing in this Program shall be deemed to create, on the part of any Employee, beneficiary or other person, (a) any interest of any kind in the assets of the Company or (b) any trust or fiduciary relationship in relation to the Company. The right of an Employee to receive any Shares shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company. SECTION 4. No Contract of Employment. The benefits provided under the Program for an Employee shall be in addition to, and in no way preclude, other forms of compensation to or in respect of such Employee. However, the selection of any Employee for participation in the Program shall not give such Employee any right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any period. The right of the Company and of each such Subsidiary to terminate the employment of any Employee for any reason or at any time is specifically reserved. SECTION 5. Withholding. All distributions pursuant to the Program shall be subject to withholding in respect of income and other taxes required by law to be withheld. The Company shall establish appropriate procedures to ensure payment or withholding of such taxes. Such procedures may include arrangements for payment or withholding of taxes by retaining Shares otherwise issuable in accordance with the provisions of this Program or by accepting already owned Shares, and by applying the fair market value of such Shares to the withholding taxes payable.
34 SECTION 6. Term, Amendment and Termination. (a) This Program shall terminate on May 4, 2010, unless the Company's shareholders approve its extension. (b) The Committee may from time to time amend any of the provisions of the Program, or may at any time terminate the Program. No amendment or termination shall adversely affect any Units (or distributions in respect thereof) which shall theretofore have been credited to any Employee's Incentive Account. Solely with respect to an Employee's Pre-2005 Incentive Account, in conjunction with the termination of the Program, the Committee may in its discretion determine whether the value of all Units credited to any or all of the Incentive Accounts under the Program shall be distributed in Shares as promptly as practicable after such termination. On the termination of the Program, distributions from an Employee's Post-2004 Incentive Account shall be made in compliance with Code Section 409A and Treasury Regulations issued thereunder.

The Brink's Company Directors' Stock Accumulation Plan ------------------------------------------------------ As Amended and Restated as of January 1, 2005 --------------------------------------------- PREAMBLE -------- The Brink's Company Directors' Stock Accumulation Plan, effective June 1, 1996, is designed to more closely align the interests of non-employee directors to the long-term interests of The Brink's Company and its shareholders. The Plan is intended to replace the Pittston Retirement Plan for Non-Employee Directors which was terminated as of May 31, 1996, with the consent of the participants therein, and the benefits accrued thereunder as of May 31, 1996, were transferred to the Plan. Effective January 14, 2000, the Plan was amended and restated to reflect the exchange of .4848 of a share of Brink's Common Stock for each outstanding share of Pittston BAX Group Common Stock and .0817 of a share of Brink's Common Stock for each outstanding share of Pittston Minerals Group Common Stock. Effective May 5, 2003, the Plan was amended and restated to reflect the Company's name change from "The Pittston Company" to "The Brink's Company." Effective March 11, 2004, the Plan was amended and restated to increase the maximum number of units that may be offered under the Plan, subject to the approval of the Company's shareholders, and to provide for a fixed term for the Plan, unless it is extended by the Company's shareholders. Effective January 1, 2005, the Plan was amended to comply with the provisions of Code Section 409A and Treasury Regulations issued thereunder. Each provision and term of the amendment should be interpreted accordingly, but if any provision or term of such amendment would be prohibited by or be
2 inconsistent with Code Section 409A or would contribute a material modification to the Plan, then such provision or term shall be deemed to be reformed to comply with Code Section 409A or be ineffective to the extent it results in a material modification to the Plan, without affecting the remainder of such amendment. The amendments apply solely to amounts allocated on and after January 1, 2005, plus any amounts allocated prior to January 1, 2005, that are not earned and vested as of such date (plus earnings on such amounts deferred). Amounts allocated prior to January 1, 2005, that are earned and vested as of December 31, 2004, including any earnings on such amounts credited prior to, and on or after January 1, 2005, shall remain subject to the terms of the Plan as in effect prior to January 1, 2005. The Plan continues to provide a portion of the overall compensation package of participating directors in the form of deferred stock equivalent units which will be distributed in the form of Brink's Common Stock upon the occurrence of certain events.

7 ARTICLE II Administration -------------- SECTION 1. Authorized Shares. The maximum number of Units that may be credited hereunder from and after May 7, 2004 is 109,654 Brink's Units. The number of Shares that may be issued or otherwise distributed hereunder will be equal to the number of Units that may be credited hereunder. In the event of any change in the number of shares of Brink's Stock outstanding by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization, combination, or exchange of shares, split-up, split-off, spin-off, liquidation or other similar change in capitalization, any distribution to common shareholders other than cash dividends, a corresponding adjustment shall be made to the number of shares that may be deemed issued under the Plan by the Committee. Such adjustment shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes of the Plan. SECTION 2. Administration. The Committee is authorized to construe the provisions of the Plan and to make all determinations in connection with the administration of the Plan. All such determinations made by the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties, including Non-Employee Directors participating in the Plan. All authority of the Committee provided for in, or pursuant to, this Plan, may also be exercised by the Board of Directors. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between determinations, orders, resolutions or other actions of the Committee and the Board of Directors taken in connection with this Plan, the actions of the Board of Directors shall control.
8 ARTICLE III Participation ------------- Each Non-Employee Director on the Effective Date shall be eligible to participate in the Plan on such date. Thereafter, each Non-Employee Director shall be eligible to participate as of the date on which he becomes a Non-Employee Director. ARTICLE IV Allocations ----------- SECTION 1. Initial Allocation. As of the Effective Date, an amount equal to the Initial Allocation was credited to his or her Account. The amount of each Non-Employee Director's Initial Allocation was converted into Units in the following proportions: 50% was converted into Brink's Units, 30% was converted into BAX Units and 20% was converted into Minerals Units. The Units were credited to each Non-Employee Director's Account as of June 3, 1996. The number (computed to the second decimal place) of Units so credited was determined by dividing the portion of the Initial Allocation for each Non-Employee Director to be allocated to each class of Units by the average of the high and low per share quoted sale prices of Brink's Stock, BAX Stock or Minerals Stock, as the case may be, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape on June 3, 1996. SECTION 2. Additional Allocations. As of June 1, 1997, and as of each subsequent June 1, each Non-Employee Director (including Non-Employee Directors elected to the Board of Directors after the Effective Date) shall be entitled to an additional allocation to his or her Account (which allocation shall be in addition to any retainer fees paid in cash) equal to (a) for each Non-Employee Director who, as of such June 1 has accrued less than eight Years of Service, 50% of the annual retainer in effect for such Non-Employee Director on such June
9 1 and (b) for each Non-Employee Director who, as of such June 1, has accrued eight or more Years of Service, 25% of the annual retainer in effect for such Non-Employee Director on such June 1. For each calendar year after 1999, such additional allocations shall be converted on the first trading day in June into Brink's Units. The number (computed to the second decimal place) of Brink's Units so credited shall be determined by dividing the amount of the additional allocation for each Non-Employee Director for the year by the average of the high and low per share quoted sale prices of Brink's Stock, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape on the first trading date in June. SECTION 3. Supplemental Allocations. As of the effective date of any increase in a Non-Employee Director's annual retainer after the Effective Date, the number of Units to be allocated to each Non-Employee Director's Account shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the annual retainer after the increase and the denominator of which is the amount of such retainer immediately prior to such increase. SECTION 4. Conversion of Existing Incentive Accounts to Brink's Units. As of the Exchange Date, all BAX Units and Minerals Units in a Non-Employee Director's Account were converted into Brink's Units by multiplying the number of BAX Units and Minerals Units in the Non-Employee Director's Account by the BAX Exchange Ratio or the Minerals Exchange Ratio, respectively. SECTION 5. Adjustments. The Committee shall determine such equitable adjustments in the Units credited to each Account as may be appropriate to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization, combination, or exchange of shares, split-up, split-off, spin-off, liquidation or other similar change in capitalization, or any distribution to common shareholders other than cash dividends.
10 SECTION 6. Dividends and Distributions. Whenever a cash dividend or any other distribution is paid with respect to shares of Brink's Stock, the Account of each Non-Employee Director will be credited with an additional number of Brink's Units, equal to the number of shares of Brink's Stock including fractional shares (computed to the second decimal place), that could have been purchased had such dividend or other distribution been paid to the Account on the payment date for such dividend or distribution based on the number of Shares giving rise to the dividend or distribution represented by Units in such Account as of such date and assuming the amount of such dividend or value of such distribution had been used to acquire additional Brink's Units. Such additional Units shall be deemed to be purchased at the average of the high and low per share quoted sale prices of Brink's Stock, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape on the payment date for the dividend or other distribution. The value of any distribution will be determined by the Committee. ARTICLE V Distributions ------------- SECTION 1. Entitlement to Benefits. Each Non-Employee Director who completes at least five Years of Service as a Non-Employee Director shall be entitled to receive a distribution in Brink's Stock in respect of all Units in his or her Account if, after completion of such five Years of Service, he or she: (a) retires from the Board of Directors on or after attaining age 70; (b) retires from the Board of Directors prior to age 72 at the end of a full term of office in anticipation of attaining such age during what would otherwise be such individual's next full term of office as a director;
11 (c) retires from the Board of Directors prior to age 70 but after attaining age 65, as a result of ill health, relocation (residence or principal place of business) or entering into any governmental, diplomatic or other service or employment if, in the opinion of outside legal counsel, his or her continued service on the Board of Directors might create a conflict of interest; (d) retires from the Board of Directors at any time following a Change in Control; or (e) dies while serving as a Non-Employee Director. In the event a Non-Employee Director terminates service on the Board of Directors for any reason not described above, all Units shall be forfeited and all rights of the Non-Employee Director to the related Shares shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company. Section 2. Distribution of Shares. Effective with respect to distributions from a Non-Employee Director's Pre-2005 Account, each Non-Employee Director who is entitled to a distribution of Shares pursuant to Section 1 of this Article V shall receive a distribution in Brink's Stock, in respect of all Units standing to the credit of such Non-Employee Director's Account, in a single lump-sum distribution as soon as practicable following his or her termination of service as a Non-Employee Director; provided, however, that a Non-Employee Director may elect, at least 12 months prior to his or her termination of service, to receive distribution of the Shares represented by the Units credited to his or her Account in substantially equal annual installments (not more than 10) commencing on the first day of the month next following the date of his or her termination of service (whether by death, disability, retirement or otherwise) or as promptly as practicable thereafter. Such Non-Employee Director may at any time elect to change the manner of such payment, provided that any such election is made at least 12 months in advance of his or her termination of service as a Non-Employee Director.
12 Effective with respect to distributions from a Non-Employee Director's Post-2004 Account, each Non-Employee Director shall receive a distribution of such Account in Brink's Stock in respect of all Brink's Units standing to the credit of such Non-Employee Director's Account in a single-lump sum distribution as soon as practicable thereafter following his or her service as a Non-Employee Director. A Non-Employee Director may elect, at least 12 months prior to his or her termination of service, to receive distribution of the Shares represented by the Units credited to his or her Account in equal annual installments (not more than ten) commencing not earlier than the last day of the month next following the fifth anniversary of the date of his or her termination of service (whether by death, Disability, retirement or otherwise) or as promptly as practicable thereafter. The number of shares of Brink's Stock to be included in each installment payment shall be determined by multiplying the number of Brink's Units in the Non-Employee Director's Account (including any dividends or distributions credited to such Account pursuant to Section 6 of Article IV whether before or after the initial installment payment date) as of the lst day of the month preceding the initial installment payment and as of each succeeding anniversary of such date by a fraction, the numerator or which is one and the denominator of which is the number of remaining installments (including the current installment). Any fractional Units shall be converted to cash based on the average of the high and low per share quoted sale prices of the Brink's Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape, on the last trading day of the month preceding the month of distribution and shall be paid in cash.
13 ARTICLE VI Designation of Beneficiary -------------------------- A Non-Employee Director may designate in a written election filed with the Committee a beneficiary or beneficiaries (which may be an entity other than a natural person) to receive all distributions and payments under the Plan after the Non-Employee Director's death. Any such designation may be revoked, and a new election may be made, at any time and from time to time, by the Non-Employee Director without the consent of any beneficiary. If the Non-Employee Director designates more than one beneficiary, any distributions and payments to such beneficiaries shall be made in equal percentages unless the Non-Employee Director has designated otherwise, in which case the distributions and payments shall be made in the percentages designated by the Non-Employee Director. If no beneficiary has been named by the Non-Employee Director or no beneficiary survives the Non-Employee Director, the remaining Shares (including fractional Shares) in the Non-Employee Director's Account shall be distributed or paid in a single sum to the Non-Employee Director's estate. In the event of a beneficiary's death, the remaining installments will be paid to a contingent beneficiary, if any, designated by the Non-Employee Director or, in the absence of a surviving contingent beneficiary, the remaining Shares (including fractional Shares) shall be distributed or paid to the primary beneficiary's estate in a single distribution. All distributions shall be made in Shares except that fractional shares shall be paid in cash.
14 ARTICLE VII Miscellaneous ------------- SECTION 1. Nontransferability of Benefits. Except as provided in Article VI, Units credited to an Account shall not be transferable by a Non-Employee Director or former Non-Employee Director (or his or her beneficiaries) other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order. No Non-Employee Director, no person claiming through a Non-Employee Director, nor any other person shall have any right or interest under the Plan, or in its continuance, in the payment of any amount or distribution of any Shares under the Plan, unless and until all the provisions of the Plan, any determination made by the Committee thereunder, and any restrictions and limitations on the payment itself have been fully complied with. Except as provided in this Section 1, no rights under the Plan, contingent or otherwise, shall be transferable, assignable or subject to any pledge or encumbrance of any nature, nor shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be obligated, except as otherwise required by law, to recognize or give effect to any such transfer, assignment, pledge or encumbrance. SECTION 2. Limitation on Rights of Non-Employee Director. Nothing in this Plan shall confer upon any Non-Employee Director the right to be nominated for reelection to the Board of Directors. The right of a Non-Employee Director to receive any Shares shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company. SECTION 3. Term, Amendment and Termination. (a) The Plan shall terminate on May 15, 2014, unless the Company's shareholders approve its extension.
15 (b) The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors may from time to time amend any of the provisions of the Plan, or may at any time terminate the Plan; provided, however, that the allocation formulas included in Article IV may not be amended more than once in any six-month period. No amendment or termination shall adversely affect any Units (or distributions in respect thereof) which shall theretofore have been credited to any Non-Employee Director's Account without the prior written consent of the Non-Employee Director. SECTION 4. Funding. The Plan shall be unfunded. Shares shall be acquired (a) from the trustee under the Employee Benefits Trust Agreement made December 7, 1992, as amended from time to time, (b) by purchases on the New York Stock Exchange or (c) in such other manner, including acquisition of Brink's Stock, otherwise than on said Exchange, at such prices, in such amounts and at such times as the Company in its sole discretion may determine. SECTION 5. Governing Law. The Plan and all provisions thereof shall be construed and administered according to the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
16 Schedule A ---------- The Initial Allocation for each Non-Employee Director shall be the amount set forth in a report prepared by Foster Higgins dated February 7, 1996.
EXHIBIT 99.3 Amendment to The Brink's Company Pension Equalization Plan The Company's Pension Equalization Plan is hereby amended to insert the following sentences at the end of Section 5, Amendment and Termination: The Company's Administrative Committee may take any and all actions necessary to ensure that the applicable portions of the Equalization Plan and the benefits accrued thereunder after December 31, 2004 satisfy the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 and the regulatory guidance promulgated thereunder, and may take all such actions retroactively, notwithstanding any Equalization Plan provisions to the contrary; provided, however, that no such actions may be effective before November 18, 2004.
EXHIBIT 99.4 THE BRINK'S COMPANY Amendment No. 6 to the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement Dated December 1, 1997 AMENDMENT NO. 6 TO THE AMENDED AND RESTATED TRUST AGREEMENT, dated as of December 1, 1997 ("Trust Agreement"), made as of the 22nd day of November, 2004, by and between THE BRINK'S COMPANY (the "Company") and J. P. MORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as Trustee (the "Trustee"). Pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Trust Agreement, the Company and the Trustee agree to amend the Trust Agreement by substituting the following language as Section 2(f) of the Trust Agreement: (f) Anything in this Agreement notwithstanding, the Company shall contribute to the Trust as follows: (i) The Company shall contribute in periodic payments on or before December 31, 2004, August 1, 2005, and August 1, 2006. The amount payable on or before December 31, 2004, shall be equal to one-third of the difference between the Accumulated Benefit Obligation Amount (as defined below) under the Plan and Contracts as of December 31, 2003, and the value of Trust assets on such date. The amount payable on or before August 1, 2005, shall be equal to one-half of the difference between the Accumulated Benefit Obligation Amount under the Plan and Contracts as of December 31, 2004, and the value of Trust assets as of December 31, 2004. The amount payable on or before August 1, 2006, shall be the Accumulated Benefit Obligation Amount under the Plan and Contracts as of December 31, 2005, less the value of Trust assets as of December 31, 2005. Thereafter, within 210 days after the end of each Plan Year or soon thereafter as is practicable, the Company shall contribute to the Trust in an amount so that the Trust will have sufficient assets to fund all Accumulated Benefit Obligation Amount determined as in effect at the end of such Plan Year. Contributions to the
Trust made pursuant to this Trust section 2(f)(i) shall be irrevocable to the extent the assets held in the Trust do not exceed the Projected Benefit Obligations under the Plan and Contracts as of the last day of the preceding Plan Year. In the event that assets of the Trust exceed the Projected Benefit Obligations under the Plan and Contracts as of the last day of the preceding Plan Year, the Company shall retain a power of appointment exercisable by the Company to revert the excess assets to itself within 210 days after the end of such Plan Year or as soon thereafter as is practicable. Upon a Change in Control, all contributions made to the Trust shall be irrevocable and no assets of the Trust shall revert to the Company until all obligations under the Plan and Contracts have been satisfied. (ii) On the date that a Change in Control occurs, to the extent that the assets of the Trust are less than the Projected Benefit Obligations under the Plan and Contracts as of such date, the Company shall make, within 90 days following such Change in Control, an additional irrevocable contribution to the Trust in an amount so that the Trust will have sufficient assets to fund all Projected Benefit Obligations as of the date the Change in Control occurred. (iii) The amount of any such contributions required under items (i) and (ii) above shall be determined by Mercer Human Resources Consulting (or another nationally recognized firm of actuaries selected by the Company) as the amount needed to provide "Projected Benefit Obligations" (as defined herein) or Accumulated Benefit Obligations (as defined herein), as applicable, under the Plan and Contracts. Projected Benefit Obligations shall be the actuarial present value as of a specified date of all benefits under the Plan and Contracts based on (a) service to the date of determination, (b) estimated future compensation levels and (c) the actuarial assumptions used under The Brink's Company Pension-Retirement
Plan (the "Pension Plan") for funding purposes (including the interest rate, mortality table and projected salary increases used therein). Projected Benefit Obligation shall reflect the lump-sum benefit option available under the Plan. Accumulated Benefit Obligation Amount shall be the product of: (i) the actuarial present value as of a specified date of all benefits under the Plan and Contracts based on (a) service to the date of determination, (b) the actuarial assumptions used under the Pension Plan for funding purposes (including the interest rate and mortality table used therein), and (c) a reflection of the lump-sum benefit option under the Plan, multiplied by (ii) the funded percentage (on an accumulated benefit obligation basis) of the Pension Plan, which will in no event exceed 100%. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed this Amendment No. 6 as of November 22, 2004. THE BRINK'S COMPANY By: /s/ Austin F. Reed ------------------------------ Austin F. Reed, Vice President J.

Each such election shall also contain a payment election providing for the manner in which amounts so credited shall be paid from such Account in accordance with paragraph 3 below. 2. Increments to Accounts. Amounts credited to each Account for any calendar quarter shall be increased by the Plan Rate (as hereinafter defined), compounded quarterly, from and after the applicable date of credit until the date of payment from such Account. The "Plan Rate" for any calendar quarter shall be the prime commercial lending rate of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. in effect on the last day of the preceding calendar quarter, or such other rate as the Board may establish for the purpose of the Plan. 3. Payments from Accounts. Each payment election by a Participant made pursuant to paragraph 1 above shall provide that distributions from such Participant's Account shall be made in one lump sum or in two or more annual payments (not exceeding ten) which shall be equal, except that there shall be added and paid with each installment after the first an amount equal to the increment credited to such account, as provided in paragraph 2 above, since the
-4- date of the last preceding installment. Each such payment election shall also provide that such payment shall commence on the first day of that month which shall be identified in such election and which may be before or after the date on which such Participant shall cease to be a director of the Company but which shall not be earlier than January 1 of the year next following the year in which the election is made. 4. Death of a Participant. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 3, upon a Participant's death, the Company shall within six months thereafter pay to such Participant's estate, or to such beneficiary as such Participant may have designated by written notice to the Company, the entire amount in such Participant's Account at the date of payment, including any increment provided for in paragraph 2 above.

A Participant may, by giving written notice to the Company in any year, elect to discontinue participation in the Plan with respect to (i) annual retainer fees and/or (ii) attendance fees and/or (iii) fees for other services becoming payable to such Participant. By like notice given prior to the end of any subsequent year, a Participant may resume participation in the Plan effective at any time after the beginning of the year next following the date of such notice. A Participant may, by like notice in any year, cancel any payment election with respect to amounts to be credited to such Participant's Pre-2005 Account for subsequent years, but any such cancellation shall be accompanied by a new payment election, made in accordance with paragraph 3 above, with respect to such amounts. A Participant who has a Post-2004 Account may, by like notice in any year, cancel any payment election with respect to
-5- amounts deferred to his Post-2004 Account, but any such cancellation shall be accompanied by a new payment election which cannot commence earlier than the first day of the month next following the fifth anniversary of the date such amounts otherwise would have been paid. Any such election shall become effective on the 12-month anniversary of the date the election is made. Except as hereinabove provided in this paragraph 5, all elections under the Plan shall be irrevocable. 6. Status of Accounts. Accounts established pursuant to the Plan shall represent unsecured obligations of the Company to pay to the respective Participants the amounts in such Accounts in accordance with the Plan. In no event shall any trust be created in favor of any Participant, nor shall any Participant have any property interest in any Account or in any other assets of the Company. Accounts shall not be assignable by Participants except as and to the extent provided in paragraph 4 above. 7. Plan Amendment or Termination. The Plan may be amended from time to time, and may be terminated at any time, by resolution of the Board.

The Plan as hereby amended and restated shall be effective with respect to annual retainer fees, attendance fees and fees for other services payable to directors for services on and after January 1, 1990.
-6- Effective January 1, 2005, the Plan was amended to comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and Treasury Regulations issued thereunder. Each provision and term of the amendment should be interpreted accordingly, but if any provision or term of such amendment would be prohibited by or be inconsistent with Code Section 409A or would contribute a material modification to the Plan, then such provision or term shall be deemed to be reformed to comply with Code Section 409A or be ineffective to the extent it results in a material modification to the Plan, without affecting the remainder of such amendment. The amendments apply solely to amounts deferred on and after January 1, 2005, plus any amounts deferred prior to January 1, 2005, that are not earned and vested as of such date (plus earnings on such amounts deferred).
