Item 1.01.
Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.

Effective as of 11:59 p.m. on October 31, 2008, The Brink’s Company (the “Company”) completed the spin-off (the “Spin-Off”) of Brink’s Home Security Holdings, Inc. (“BHS”), its wholly owned subsidiary.  In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company entered into certain agreements with BHS to define responsibility for obligations arising before and after the Spin-Off, including, among others, obligations relating to employees, taxes and intellectual property.
 
               On October 31, 2008, the Company entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement (the “Separation and Distribution Agreement”) with BHS that set forth the Company’s agreements with BHS regarding the principal transactions necessary to separate it from the Company.  It also set forth other agreements that govern certain aspects of BHS’s relationship with the Company after the completion of the separation.

On October 31, 2008, Brink’s Network, Incorporated, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Brand Licensing Agreement (the “Brand Licensing Agreement”) with BHS.  Under the Brand Licensing Agreement, BHS will license the rights to use certain trademarks, including trademarks that contain the word “Brink’s”, in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.  In exchange for these rights, BHS has agreed to pay a licensing fee equal to 1.25% of its net revenues.  The license will expire on October 31, 2011, subject to earlier termination upon the occurrence of certain events.

On October 31, 2008, the Company entered into a Tax Matters Agreement (the “Tax Matters Agreement”) with BHS.  The Tax Matters Agreement generally governs the responsibilities and obligations of the Company and BHS after the Spin-Off with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, tax attributes, tax contests and other tax matters regarding income taxes, other taxes and related tax returns.  Under the Tax Matters Agreement, BHS would also be required to indemnify the Company and its affiliates against tax liabilities attributable to BHS and resulting from audit adjustments for taxable periods during which BHS was a member of the Company’s consolidated group.  BHS has joint and several liability with the Company to the Internal Revenue Service for the consolidated federal income taxes of the Company’s group relating to the taxable periods ending on or prior to the Spin-Off.  Although BHS will continue to be jointly and severally liable with the Company for this liability following the Spin-Off under the Tax Matters Agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify BHS for amounts relating to this liability to the extent not attributable to BHS’s liabilities.

On October 31, 2008, the Company entered into a Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement (the “Non-Compete Agreement”) with BHS, which will expire on October 31, 2013, pursuant to which the Company will agree not to compete with BHS in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico with respect to certain restricted activities specified in the Non-Compete Agreement in which BHS currently is, or is currently planning to be, engaged.  During the period beginning on October 31, 2008, and ending on October 31, 2010, none of BHS, the Company or any subsidiary of BHS or the Company will solicit, recruit or hire any employee of the other party or any of its subsidiaries or encourage any such employee to leave his employment, except for general solicitations of or advertisements for employment and the solicitation of any such employee whose employment has been involuntarily terminated by the other party or any of its subsidiaries.
 
 
 

 

 
On October 31, 2008, the Company entered into an Employee Matters Agreement (the “Employee Matters Agreement”) with BHS that sets forth the agreements of the Company and BHS as to certain employee compensation and benefit matters.  Under the terms of the Employee Matters Agreement, except as otherwise specifically provided in the Employee Matters Agreement, BHS will retain all assets and liabilities arising out of employee compensation and benefits programs sponsored or maintained by BHS immediately prior to the Spin-Off, and the Company will retain all assets and liabilities arising out of employee compensation and benefits programs sponsored or maintained by the Company immediately prior to the Spin-Off.  Except as expressly provided in the Employee Matters Agreement, BHS employees will immediately cease active participation in the Company’s benefit plans and BHS will provide an appropriate level of compensation and benefits to BHS employees under one or more newly adopted benefit plans and arrangements.

The foregoing descriptions of the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the Brand Licensing Agreement, the Tax Matters Agreement, the Non-Compete Agreement and the Employee Matters Agreement, are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete terms and conditions of these agreements which are attached as Exhibits 10.1 - 10.5 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

On November 3, 2008, the Company issued a press release announcing that as of 11:59 p.m. on October 31, 2008, the Company completed the distribution to its shareholders of all of the shares of BHS common stock.  This release is furnished as Exhibit 99.3 hereto, and is incorporated herein by reference.                              
 
 Item 2.02.  Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
 
The Company completed the spin-off of BHS on October 31, 2008.  As a result, the Company will reflect the operations of BHS in discontinued operations in its financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2008.

(b)  An Indemnifying Party may elect to defend, at such Indemnifying Party’s own expense (subject to the requirement to share expenses related to the defense of Transaction Third Party Claims pursuant to Section 5.04) and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, any Third Party Claim.  Within 20 days after the receipt of notice from an Indemnitee in accordance with Section 5.06(a) (or sooner, if the nature of such Third Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnitee of its election as to whether the Indemnifying Party will assume responsibility for defending such Third Party Claim.  After notice from an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, but (subject to Section 5.04) the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be the expense of such Indemnitee, except that the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnitee for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense of such Third Party Claim (other than during any period in which the Indemnitee shall have failed to give notice of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 5.06(a)).
 
(c)  If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending a Third Party Claim, or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election as provided in Section 5.06(b), such Indemnitee may defend such Third Party Claim at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party (subject to the requirement to share expenses related to the defense of Transaction Third Party Claims pursuant to Section 5.04).

(d)  If an Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party may recommend and that by its terms obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Third Party Claim and that releases the Indemnified Party completely in connection with such Third Party Claim.
 
(e)  No Indemnifying Party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of any Third Party Claim without the consent of the applicable Indemnitee or Indemnitees if the effect thereof is to permit any injunction, declaratory judgment, other order or other nonmonetary relief to be entered, directly or indirectly, against any Indemnitee.

(b)  In the event of payment by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to any Indemnitee in connection with any Third Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnitee as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnitee may have any right, defense or claim relating to such Third Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third Party Claim or against any other Person.  Such Indemnitee shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim.

SECTION 5.08. Remedies Cumulative.  The remedies provided in this Article V shall be cumulative and, subject to the provisions of Article IX, shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnitee of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against any Indemnifying Party.
 
SECTION 5.09. Survival of Indemnities.  The rights and obligations of each of Brink’s and BHS and their respective Indemnitees under this Article V shall survive the sale or other transfer by any party of any Assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities.
 
SECTION 5.10. Limitation on Liability.  Except as may expressly be set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, none of Brink’s, BHS or any other member of either Group shall in any event have any Liability to the other or to any other member of the other’s Group, or to any other Brink’s Indemnitee or BHS Indemnitee, as applicable, for any incidental, indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages, whether or not caused by or resulting from negligence or breach of obligations hereunder or under any Ancillary Agreement and whether or not informed of the possibility of the existence of such damages, provided, however, that the provisions of this Section shall not limit an Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations hereunder or in any Ancillary Agreement with respect to any Liability any Indemnitee may have to any third party not affiliated with any member of the Brink’s Group or the BHS Group for any incidental, indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages.
 
ARTICLE VI
 
Insurance Matters
 
SECTION 6.01. Insurance Matters. (a)  Brink’s and BHS agree to cooperate in good faith to provide for an orderly transition of insurance coverage from the date hereof through the Distribution Date and for the treatment of any Insurance Policies that will remain in effect following the Distribution Date on a mutually agreeable basis.  In no event shall Brink’s, any other member of the Brink’s Group or any Brink’s Indemnitee have liability or obligation whatsoever to any member of the BHS Group or any BHS Indemnitee in the event that any Insurance Policy or other contract or policy of insurance shall be terminated or otherwise cease to be in effect for any reason, shall be unavailable or inadequate to cover any Liability of any member of the BHS Group or any BHS Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever or shall not be renewed or extended beyond the current expiration date.
 
 
 
 
19

 
 
 
(b)  (i) Except as otherwise provided in any Ancillary Agreement, the Parties intend by this Agreement that BHS and each other member of the BHS Group be successors-in-interest to all rights that any member of the BHS Group may have as of the Distribution Date as a subsidiary, affiliate, division or department of Brink’s prior to the Distribution Date under any policy of insurance issued to Brink’s or any other member of the Brink’s Group by any insurance carrier or under any agreements related to such policies executed and delivered prior to the Distribution Date, including any rights such member of the BHS Group may have, as an insured or additional named insured, subsidiary, affiliate, division or department, to avail itself of any such policy of insurance or any such agreements related to such policies as in effect prior to the Distribution Date.  At the request of BHS, Brink’s shall take all reasonable steps, including the execution and delivery of any instruments, to effect the foregoing; provided, however, that Brink’s shall not be required to pay any amounts, waive any rights or incur any Liabilities in connection therewith.
 
(ii) Except as otherwise contemplated by any Ancillary Agreement, after the Distribution Date, Brink’s (and each other member of the Brink’s Group) and BHS (and each other member of the BHS Group) shall not, without the consent of BHS or Brink’s, respectively, provide any such insurance carrier with a release or amend, modify or waive any rights under any such policy or agreement, if such release, amendment, modification or waiver thereunder would adversely affect any rights or potential rights of any member of the Group of the other Party; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not (A) preclude any member of any Group from presenting any claim or from exhausting any policy limit, (B) require any member of any Group to pay any premium or other amount or to incur any Liability or (C) require any member of any Group to renew, extend or continue any policy in force.  Each of Brink’s and BHS will share such information as is reasonably necessary in order to permit the other to manage and conduct its insurance matters in an orderly fashion.
 
(c)  This Agreement shall not be considered as an attempted assignment of any policy of insurance or as a contract of insurance and shall not be construed to waive any right or remedy of any member of the Brink’s Group in respect of any Insurance Policy or any other contract or policy of insurance.
 
(d)  BHS does hereby, for itself and each other member of the BHS Group, agree that no member of the Brink’s Group or any Brink’s Indemnitee shall have any Liability whatsoever as a result of the insurance policies and practices of Brink’s and its Affiliates as in effect at any time prior to the Distribution Date, including as a result of the level or scope of any such insurance, the creditworthiness of any insurance carrier, the terms and conditions of any policy, the adequacy or timeliness of any notice to any insurance carrier with respect to any claim or potential claim or otherwise.
 
 
 
 
 
20

 
 
(e)  Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to restrict any member of the BHS Group from acquiring at its own expense any other insurance policy in respect of any Liabilities or covering any period.
 
(f)  After the Distribution Date, BHS shall (i) at the election of Brink’s, reimburse Brink’s for, or pay directly to the applicable third party insurance carrier, the portion of any (A) workers’ compensation premium, retrospectively rated premium adjustment, payroll audit adjustments, taxes, surcharges and payroll-driven assessment adjustments; provided that with respect to payroll audit adjustments, taxes, surcharges and payroll-driven assessment adjustments, BHS shall reimburse Brink’s only for claims related to payroll paid during the calendar year 2008, (B) claims and claims allocated expenses in respect of self-insured automobile liability and general liability (including errors and omissions coverage) fronting programs, but only for such claims and claims administrative expenses that are billed to Brink’s on, after or 30 days prior to the Distribution Date, and (C) claims, claims allocated expenses and any taxes, surcharges and assessments related to any claim in respect of workers’ compensation programs that are self-insured or that require the insured party to pay a deductible, in each case allocable to BHS or any other member of the BHS Group for claims made on or prior to the Distribution Date under insurance policies or self-insurance authorizations covering BHS or any other member of the BHS Group, but only for such claims, claims allocated expenses and any taxes, surcharges and assessments related to workers’ compensation claims that are billed to Brink’s on, after or 30 days prior to the Distribution Date, and (ii) reimburse Brink’s for the portion of any costs associated with surety bonds, letters of credit or other similar instruments provided by Brink’s that guarantee deductibles, reserves or other amounts related to workers’ compensation, automobile liability and general liability claims of BHS or any other member of the BHS Group.  Such reimbursement shall be made in immediately available funds within 15 business days of receipt of an invoice from Brink’s setting forth such premium, claim, administrative or allocated expenses, tax, surcharge or assessment in reasonable detail.  Brink’s shall not settle, arbitrate or litigate any insurance claim or related lawsuit against BHS or any member of the BHS Group without the prior consent of BHS (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld).  After the Distribution Date, to the extent Brink’s or BHS reasonably requires any information from the other regarding claims data, payroll or other insurance or insurance policy information in order to make filings with insurance carriers or self-insurance regulators, Brink’s and/or BHS will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly supply such information to each other.  Nothing in this Section shall obligate Brink’s or any other member of the Brink’s Group to maintain any insurance policy for claims made or events occurring after the Distribution Date.

(b)           The term NET REVENUES shall mean, in respect of any fiscal quarter of LICENSEE, the amount reported by LICENSEE as “Revenues” for such fiscal quarter in its financial statements filed with the SEC (or, if not so reported on or before the date on which LICENSEE is required to render a statement of account with respect to such fiscal quarter pursuant to Subsection 6(d), as determined in accordance with GAAP and the requirements of the SEC applicable to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q) less the provision for uncollectible accounts receivable for such fiscal quarter (as set forth in such financial statements or so determined in accordance with GAAP and such SEC requirements, as applicable).  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, (i) in respect of the period beginning on the DISTRIBUTION DATE and ending on the last day of the first fiscal quarter of LICENSEE ending after the DISTRIBUTION DATE, the term NET REVENUES shall mean the NET REVENUES (determined as provided in the first sentence of this Subsection) for the fiscal quarter of LICENSEE during which the DISTRIBUTION DATE occurred, multiplied by the number of days from (and including) the DISTRIBUTION DATE to (and including) the last day of the first fiscal quarter of LICENSEE ending after the DISTRIBUTION DATE, divided by the total number of days in such fiscal quarter, and (ii) in respect of the first fiscal quarter of LICENSEE ending after the termination, cancelation or expiration of this AGREEMENT, the term NET REVENUES shall mean the NET REVENUES (determined as provided in the first sentence of this Subsection) for the fiscal quarter of LICENSEE during which such termination, cancellation or expiration occurs, multiplied by the number of days in such fiscal quarter of LICENSEE prior to such termination, cancellation or expiration, divided by the total number of days in such fiscal quarter.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, NET REVENUES shall exclude the revenues of (i) any PERSON, or business unit or division of any PERSON, acquired by LICENSEE or any SUBSIDIARY of LICENSEE after the DISTRIBUTION DATE and (ii) any PERSON merged or consolidated with or into LICENSEE or any SUBSIDIARY of LICENSEE after the DISTRIBUTION DATE solely to the extent that, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), (A) such PERSON does not become a sublicensee of LICENSOR pursuant to Section 2(b), (B) none of the TRADE SYMBOLS are used in connection with the sale of PRODUCTS or provision of SERVICES by such PERSON, business unit or division and (C) the operations of such PERSON, business unit or division after the date of such acquisition, merger or consolidation are conducted separately from, and remain sufficiently distinct from, the operations of LICENSEE and its SUBSIDIARIES in existence prior to such acquisition, merger or consolidation such that it is reasonable to conclude that the sale of PRODUCTS and provision of SERVICES by such PERSON, business unit or division are not benefiting from the use of the TRADE SYMBOLS by LICENSEE and its SUBSIDIARIES.
 
 
 
8

 
 
 
(c)           LICENSEE shall maintain itemized, complete and accurate books of account with respect to its performance under this AGREEMENT.
 
(d)           LICENSEE shall render to LICENSOR a statement of account, certified by a financial officer of LICENSEE, of the NET REVENUES and computations of the ROYALTY AMOUNTS for each fiscal quarter of LICENSEE (including the first fiscal quarter of LICENSEE ending after the termination, cancelation or expiration of this AGREEMENT) within 40 days after the end of such fiscal quarter.  The ROYALTY AMOUNTS determined to be due to LICENSOR hereunder with respect to each fiscal quarter (or portion of the first fiscal quarter of LICENSEE ended after the DISTRIBUTION DATE or portion of the first fiscal quarter of LICENSEE ending after the termination, cancelation or expiration of this AGREEMENT) shall be paid to LICENSOR within 45 days after the end of such fiscal quarter.
 
(e)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any payment that would otherwise be due and payable to LICENSOR hereunder on a day that is not a BUSINESS DAY shall not be due and payable until the first BUSINESS DAY after such day.
 
(f)           In the event that LICENSEE does not make any payment required under the provisions of this AGREEMENT, including payments required after the termination, cancelation or expiration of this AGREEMENT, to LICENSOR when due in accordance with the terms hereof, LICENSOR shall, at its option, charge LICENSEE interest on the unpaid amount at the rate of 2% per annum above the prime rate charged by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (or its successor).  LICENSEE shall keep complete and accurate records of the sales of the SERVICES and PRODUCTS, including all information relevant to the computation of the ROYALTY AMOUNTS due hereunder.  LICENSOR may review or may designate, at its expense, a recognized firm of public accountants to review the accounts of LICENSEE to determine whether proper accounting and payments have been made; provided, however, that if there is an error in favor of LICENSEE in excess of 2% in computing such accounting, all expenses in connection with such review shall be borne by LICENSEE.
 
(g)           All payments due to LICENSOR hereunder shall be made to LICENSOR in United States dollars at LICENSOR’s Treasurer’s office by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account specified by LICENSOR, or at such other place or in such other manner as may be designated by LICENSOR in writing.
 
(h)           Any taxes, duties or imposts, other than income or profit taxes, assessed or imposed upon the sums due hereunder to LICENSOR or upon or with respect to this AGREEMENT, shall be borne and discharged by LICENSEE and no part thereof shall be deducted from any amount payable to LICENSOR under any clause of this AGREEMENT, said amounts to be net to LICENSOR, free of any and all deductions, (other than for such income or profit taxes) except as otherwise provided herein.
 
(i)           Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, this Section 6 shall survive the termination, cancelation or expiration of this AGREEMENT.

(b)           Either party to this AGREEMENT shall have, in addition to any other rights and remedies it may have, the right to terminate this AGREEMENT on ten days’ prior written notice to the other, if the other party shall breach or default in the performance of any material provision of this AGREEMENT; provided, however, that if it is possible for such breach or default to be cured and the party receiving such notice of termination shall cure such breach or default within a 30-day period after receipt of such notice, then this AGREEMENT shall continue in full force and effect.

(b) Computation and Payment of Liability With Respect to Tax Due.  Within 30 days following the earlier of (i) the due date (including extensions) for filing any such Tax Return (excluding any Tax Return with respect to payment of estimated Taxes or Taxes due with a request for extension of time to file) or (ii) the date on which such Tax Return is filed, if Brink’s is the Responsible Company, then BHS shall pay to Brink’s the amount allocable to the BHS Group under the provisions of Article II, and if BHS is the Responsible Company, then Brink’s shall pay to BHS the amount allocable to the Brink’s Group under the provisions of Article II, in each case, plus interest computed at the Prime Rate on the amount of the payment based on the number of days from the earlier of (A) the due date of the Tax Return (including extensions) or (B) the date on which such Tax Return is filed to the date of payment.
 
(c) Adjustments Resulting in Underpayments.  In the case of any adjustment pursuant to a Final Determination with respect to any such Tax Return, the Responsible Company shall pay to the applicable Tax Authority when due any additional Tax due with respect to such Tax Return required to be paid as a result of such adjustment pursuant to a Final Determination.  The Responsible Company shall compute the amount attributable to the BHS Group in accordance with Article II and BHS shall pay to Brink’s any amount due Brink’s (or Brink’s shall pay BHS any amount due BHS) under Article II within 30 days from the later of (i) the date the additional Tax was paid by the Responsible Company or (ii) the date of receipt of a written notice and demand from the Responsible Company for payment of the amount due, accompanied by evidence of payment and a statement detailing the Taxes paid and describing in reasonable detail the particulars relating thereto. Any payments required under this Section 5.01(c) shall include interest computed at the Prime Rate based on the number of days from the date the additional Tax was paid by the Responsible Company to the date of the payment under this Section 5.01(c).
 
SECTION 5.02. Indemnification Payments.  All indemnification payments under this Agreement shall be made by Brink’s directly to BHS and by BHS directly to Brink’s; provided, however, that if the Companies mutually agree with respect to any such indemnification payment, any member of the Brink’s Group, on the one hand, may make such indemnification payment to any member of the BHS Group, on the other hand, and vice versa.

SECTION 6.01. Tax Refunds in General.  Except as set forth below, Brink’s shall be entitled to any refund (and any interest thereon received from the applicable Tax Authority) of Taxes for which Brink’s is liable hereunder, BHS shall be entitled to any refund (and any interest thereon received from the applicable Tax Authority) of Taxes for which BHS is liable hereunder and a Company receiving a refund to which another Company is entitled hereunder shall pay over such refund to such other Company within 30 days after such refund is received (together with interest computed at the Prime Rate based on the number of days from the date the refund was received to the date the refund was paid over).
 
SECTION 6.02. Timing Differences and Reverse Timing Differences.  (a)  If as a result of an adjustment pursuant to a Final Determination to any Taxes for which a member of the Brink’s Group is liable hereunder (or Tax Attribute of a member of the Brink’s Group) a member of the BHS Group could realize a current or future Tax Benefit that it could not realize but for such adjustment (determined on a with and without basis), or if as a result of an adjustment pursuant to a Final Determination to any Taxes for which a member of the BHS Group is liable hereunder (or Tax Attribute of a member of the BHS Group) a member of the Brink's Group could realize a current or future Tax Benefit that it could not realize but for such adjustment (determined on a with and without basis), BHS or Brink’s, as the case may be, shall make a payment to either Brink’s or BHS, as appropriate, within 30 days following the date of a written notice and demand from Brink's or BHS, as appropriate, for payment of the amount due, accompanied by evidence of such adjustment and describing in reasonable detail the particulars relating thereto.  Any payment required under this Section 6.02(a) shall include interest on such payment computed at the Prime Rate based on the number of days from the date of such written notice to the date of payment under this Section 6.02(a). In the event that Brink’s or BHS disagrees with any such calculation described in this Section 6.02(a), Brink’s or BHS shall so notify the other Company in writing within 30 days of receiving the written calculation set forth above in this Section 6.02(a).  Brink’s and BHS shall endeavor in good faith to resolve such disagreement.
 
(b) If a member of the BHS Group actually realizes in cash pursuant to a Final Determination any Tax Detriment as a result of an adjustment pursuant to a Final Determination to any Taxes for which a member of the Brink’s Group is liable hereunder (or Tax Attribute of a member of the Brink’s Group) (in such circumstance, Brink’s being the “Adjusted Party”) and such Tax Detriment would not have arisen but for such adjustment (determined on a with and without basis), or if a member of the Brink’s Group actually realizes in cash pursuant to a Final Determination any Tax Detriment as a result of an adjustment pursuant to a Final Determination to any Taxes for which a member of the BHS Group is liable hereunder (or Tax Attribute of a member of the BHS Group) (in such circumstance, BHS being the “Adjusted Party”) and such Tax Detriment would not have arisen but for such adjustment (determined on a with and without basis), the Adjusted Party shall make a payment to the other party within 30 days following the later of such actual realization of the Tax Detriment and the Adjusted Party’s actual realization of the corresponding Tax Benefit, in an amount equal to the lesser of such Tax Detriment actually realized in cash and the Tax Benefit, if any, actually realized in cash by the Adjusted Party pursuant to such adjustment (which would not have arisen but for such adjustment), plus interest on such amount

computed at the Prime Rate based on the number of days from the later of the date of such actual realization of the Tax Detriment and the Adjusted Party’s actual realization of the corresponding Tax Benefit to the date of payment of such amount under this Section 6.02(b). No later than 30 days after a Tax Detriment described in this Section 6.02(b) is actually realized in cash by a member of the Brink’s Group or a member of the BHS Group, Brink’s (if a member of the Brink’s Group actually realizes such Tax Detriment) or BHS (if a member of the BHS Group actually realizes such Tax Detriment) shall provide the other Company with a written calculation of the amount payable pursuant to Section 6.02(b).  In the event that Brink’s or BHS disagrees with any such calculation described in this Section 6.02(b), Brink’s or BHS shall so notify the other Company in writing within 30 days of receiving the written calculation set forth above in this Section 6.02(b).  Brink’s and BHS shall endeavor in good faith to resolve such disagreement.
 
SECTION 6.03. BHS Carrybacks.  BHS shall be entitled to any refund actually received in cash that is attributable to, and would not have arisen but for (determined on a with and without basis), a BHS Carryback pursuant to the proviso set forth in Section 4.07, provided that the refund is a refund of Taxes for the Tax Period to which the BHS Carryback is carried or the first or second immediately following Tax Periods.  Any such payment of such refund made by Brink’s to BHS pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall be recalculated in light of any Final Determination (or any other facts that may arise or come to light after such payment is made, such as a carryback or carryforward of a Brink’s Group Tax Attribute to a Tax Period in respect of which such refund is received) that would affect the amount to which BHS is entitled, and an appropriate adjusting payment shall be made by BHS to Brink’s such that the aggregate amounts paid pursuant to this Section 6.03 equals such recalculated amount (with interest computed at the Prime Rate based on the number of days from the date of the actual receipt of such refund to the date of payment of such amount under this Section 6.03).

SECTION 7.02. Restrictions on BHS.  (a)  BHS agrees that it will not take or fail to take, or permit any BHS Affiliate to take or fail to take, any action where such action or failure to act would be inconsistent with or cause to be untrue any material, information, covenant or representation in any Representation Letters, Ruling Documents or Tax Opinions/Rulings.  BHS agrees that it will not take or fail to take, or permit any BHS Affiliate to take or fail to take, any action that prevents or could reasonably be expected to prevent (i) the Tax-Free Status or (ii) any transaction contemplated by the Separation and Distribution Agreement that is intended by the parties to be tax-free from so qualifying, including issuing any BHS Capital Stock that would prevent the Distribution from qualifying as a tax-free distribution within the meaning of Section 355 of the Code.

(b) BHS agrees that, from the date hereof until the first day after the two-year anniversary of the Closing Date, it will (i) maintain its status as a company whose separate affiliated group, within the meaning of Section 355(b)(3) of the Code, is engaged in the Active Trade or Business and (ii) not engage in any transaction that would result in it ceasing to be a company whose separate affiliated group is so engaged in the Active Trade or Business.
 
(c) BHS agrees that, from the date hereof until the first day after the two-year anniversary of the Closing Date, it will not (i) enter into any Proposed Acquisition Transaction or, to the extent BHS has the right to prohibit any Proposed Acquisition Transaction, permit any Proposed Acquisition Transaction to occur (whether by (A) redeeming rights under a shareholder rights plan, (B) finding a tender offer to be a “permitted offer” under any such plan or otherwise causing any such plan to be inapplicable or neutralized with respect to any Proposed Acquisition Transaction or (C) approving any Proposed Acquisition Transaction, whether for purposes of Article 14 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act or any similar corporate statute, any “fair price” or other provision of BHS’s charter or bylaws or otherwise), (ii) merge or consolidate with any other Person or liquidate or partially liquidate, (iii) in a single transaction or series of transactions sell or transfer (other than sales or transfers of inventory in the ordinary course of business) 60% or more of the gross assets of the Active Trade or Business or 60% or more of the consolidated gross assets of BHS and its Affiliates (such percentages to be measured based on fair market value as of the Closing Date), (iv) redeem or otherwise repurchase (directly or through a BHS Affiliate) any BHS Capital Stock, except to the extent such repurchases satisfy Section 4.05(1)(b) of Revenue Procedure 96-30 (as in effect prior to the amendment of such Revenue Procedure by Revenue Procedure 2003-48), (v) amend its certificate of incorporation (or other organizational documents), or take any other action, whether through a shareholder vote or otherwise, affecting the relative voting rights of BHS Capital Stock (including, without limitation, through the conversion of any BHS Capital Stock into another class of BHS Capital Stock) or (vi) take any other action or actions (including any action or transaction that would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with any representation made in the Representation Letters, Ruling Documents or the Tax Opinions/Rulings) that in the aggregate (and taking into account any other transactions described in this subparagraph (c)) would be reasonably likely to have the effect of causing or permitting one or more persons (whether or not acting in concert) to acquire directly or indirectly stock representing a Fifty-Percent or Greater Interest in BHS or otherwise jeopardize the Tax-Free Status, unless prior to taking any such action set forth in the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi), (A) BHS shall have requested that Brink’s obtain a supplemental Ruling in accordance with Sections 7.03(b) and (d) to the effect that such transaction will not affect the Tax-Free Status and Brink’s shall have received such a supplemental Ruling in form and substance satisfactory to Brink’s in its sole and absolute discretion, which discretion shall be exercised in good faith solely to preserve the Tax-Free Status (and in determining whether such a Ruling is satisfactory, Brink’s may consider, among other factors, the appropriateness of any underlying assumptions and management’s representations made in connection with such Ruling), or (B) BHS shall provide Brink’s with an Unqualified Tax Opinion in form and substance satisfactory to Brink’s in its sole and absolute discretion, which discretion shall be exercised in good faith solely to preserve the Tax-Free Status (and in determining whether an opinion is satisfactory, Brink’s may consider, among other factors, the appropriateness of any underlying assumptions and management’s representations if used as a basis for the opinion and Brink’s may determine that no opinion would be acceptable to Brink’s) or (C) Brink’s shall have waived the requirement to obtain such ruling or opinion.

(d) Certain Issuances of BHS Capital Stock.  If BHS proposes to enter into any Section 7.02(d) Acquisition Transaction or, to the extent BHS has the right to prohibit any Section 7.02(d) Acquisition Transaction, proposes to permit any Section 7.02(d) Acquisition Transaction to occur, in each case, during the period from the date hereof until the first day after the two-year anniversary of the Closing Date, BHS shall provide Brink’s, no later than ten days following the signing of any written agreement with respect to the Section 7.02(d) Acquisition Transaction, with a written description of such transaction (including the type and amount of BHS Capital Stock to be issued in such transaction) and a certificate of the Board of Directors of BHS to the effect that the Section 7.02(d) Acquisition Transaction is not a Proposed Acquisition Transaction or any other transaction to which the requirements of Section 7.02(c) apply (a “Board Certificate”).
 
(e) Distributions by Foreign BHS Subsidiaries.  Until January 1st of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Distribution occurs, BHS shall neither cause nor permit any foreign subsidiary of BHS to enter into any transaction or take any action that would be considered under the Code to constitute the declaration or payment of a dividend (including pursuant to Section 304 of the Code) without obtaining the prior written consent of Brink’s (such prior written consent not to be unreasonably withheld).
 
(f) Procedures Regarding Opinions and Rulings.  If BHS notifies Brink’s that it desires to take one of the actions described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 7.02(c) (a “Notified Action”), Brink’s and BHS shall reasonably cooperate to attempt to obtain the ruling or opinion referred to in Section 7.02(c), unless Brink’s shall have waived the requirement to obtain such ruling or opinion.
 
(g) Rulings or Unqualified Tax Opinions at BHS’s Request.  Brink’s agrees that at the reasonable request of BHS pursuant to Section 7.02(c) Brink’s shall cooperate with BHS and use reasonable best efforts to seek to obtain, as expeditiously as possible, a supplemental Ruling from the IRS or an Unqualified Tax Opinion for the purpose of permitting BHS to take the Notified Action.  In no event shall Brink’s be required to file any Ruling Request under this Section 7.03(b) unless BHS represents that (A) it has read the Ruling Request and (B) all information and representations, if any, relating to any member of the BHS Group contained in the Ruling Request documents are (subject to any qualifications therein) true, correct and complete.  BHS shall reimburse Brink’s for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Brink’s Group in obtaining a Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion requested by BHS within 10 business days after receiving an invoice from Brink’s therefor.
 
(h) Rulings or Unqualified Tax Opinions at Brink’s Request.  Brink’s shall have the right to obtain a supplemental Ruling or an Unqualified Tax Opinion at any time in its sole and absolute discretion.  If Brink’s determines to obtain a supplemental Ruling or an Unqualified Tax Opinion, BHS shall (and shall cause each Affiliate of BHS to) cooperate

with Brink’s and take any and all actions reasonably requested by Brink’s in connection with obtaining the Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion (including, without limitation, by making any representation or reasonable covenant or providing any materials or information requested by the IRS or Tax Advisor; provided that BHS shall not be required to make (or cause any Affiliate of BHS to make) any representation or covenant that is inconsistent with historical facts or as to future matters or events over which it has no control). Brink’s and BHS shall each bear its own costs and expenses in obtaining a Ruling or an Unqualified Tax Opinion requested by Brink’s.
 
(i) BHS hereby agrees that Brink’s shall have sole and exclusive control over the process of obtaining any Ruling, and that only Brink’s shall apply for a Ruling.  In connection with obtaining a Ruling pursuant to Section 7.04(b), (A) Brink’s shall keep BHS informed in a timely manner of all material actions taken or proposed to be taken by Brink’s in connection therewith; (B) Brink’s shall (1) reasonably in advance of the submission of any Ruling Request documents provide BHS with a draft copy thereof, (2) reasonably consider BHS’s comments on such draft copy and (3) provide BHS with a final copy; and (C) Brink’s shall provide BHS with notice reasonably in advance of, and BHS shall have the right to attend, any formally scheduled meetings with the IRS (subject to the approval of the IRS) that relate to such Ruling. Neither BHS nor any BHS Affiliate shall seek any guidance from the IRS or any other Tax Authority (whether written, verbal or otherwise) at any time concerning the Transactions (including the impact of any transaction on the Transactions).
 
SECTION 7.03. Liability for Tax-Related Losses.  (a)  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Separation and Distribution Agreement to the contrary, BHS shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Brink’s and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors and employees from and against, one hundred percent (100%) of any Tax-Related Losses that are attributable to or result from any one or more of the following:  (A) the acquisition of all or a portion of the stock or assets of any member of the BHS Group by any means whatsoever by any Person, (B) any negotiations, understandings, agreements or arrangements by BHS with respect to transactions or events (including, without limitation, stock issuances, pursuant to the exercise of stock options or otherwise, option grants, capital contributions or acquisitions, or a series of such transactions or events) that cause the Distribution to be treated as part of a plan pursuant to which one or more Persons acquire directly or indirectly stock of BHS representing a Fifty-Percent or Greater Interest therein, (C) any action or failure to act by BHS after the Distribution (including, without limitation, any amendment to BHS’s certificate of incorporation (or other organizational documents), whether through a shareholder vote or otherwise) affecting the relative voting rights of any class of BHS Capital Stock (including, without limitation, through the conversion of any class of BHS Capital Stock into another class of BHS Capital Stock), (D) any act or failure to act by BHS or any BHS Affiliate described in Section 7.02 (regardless whether such act or failure to act is covered by a Ruling, Unqualified Tax Opinion or waiver described in clause (A), (B) or (C) of Section 7.02(c) or a Board Certificate described in Section 7.02(d)) or (E) any breach by BHS of its agreement and representation set forth in Section 7.01.

(b) For purposes of calculating the amount and timing of any Tax-Related Loss for which BHS is responsible under this Section 7.04, Tax-Related Losses shall be calculated by assuming that Brink’s, the Brink’s Affiliated Group and each member of the Brink’s Group (i) pay Tax at the highest marginal corporate Tax rates in effect in each relevant taxable year and (ii) have no Tax Attributes in any relevant taxable year.
 
(c) BHS shall not be entitled to any refund (or any interest thereon received from the applicable Tax Authority) of Taxes for which BHS is responsible under this Section 7.04, and Section 6.02 shall not apply to any Tax Benefit that Brink’s realizes as a result of an adjustment to any Taxes for which a member of the BHS Group is responsible under this Section 7.04.
 
(d) BHS shall pay Brink’s the amount of any Tax-Related Losses for which BHS is responsible under this Section 7.04:  (A) in the case of Tax-Related Losses described in clause (i) of the definition of Tax-Related Losses no later than 2  business days prior to the date Brink’s files, or causes to be filed, the applicable Tax Return for the year of the Distribution (the “Filing Date”) (provided that if such Tax-Related Losses arise pursuant to a Final Determination described in clause (a), (b) or (c) of the definition of “Final Determination”, then BHS shall pay Brink’s no later than 2 business days after the date of such Final Determination with interest calculated at the Prime Rate plus two percent, compounded semiannually, from the date that is 2  business days prior to the Filing Date through the date of such Final Determination) and (B) in the case of Tax-Related Losses described in clause (ii) or (iii) of the definition of Tax-Related Losses, no later than 2  business days after the date Brink’s pays such Tax-Related Losses.

provision of this Agreement or any other agreement, (i) neither Brink’s nor any Brink’s Affiliate shall be required to provide BHS, any BHS Affiliate or any other Person access to or copies of any information or procedures (including the proceedings of any Tax Contest) other than information or procedures that relate solely to BHS, a BHS Affiliate or the business or assets of BHS or any BHS Affiliate and (ii) in no event shall Brink’s or any Brink’s Affiliate be required to provide BHS, any BHS Affiliate or any other Person access to or copies of any information if such action could reasonably be expected to result in the waiver of any Privilege.  In addition, in the event that Brink’s determines that the provision of any information to BHS or any BHS Affiliate could be commercially detrimental, violate any law or agreement or waive any Privilege, the parties shall use reasonable best efforts to permit compliance with its obligations under this Article VIII in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence.
 
SECTION 8.02. Income Tax Return Information.  BHS and Brink’s acknowledge that time is of the essence in relation to any request for information, assistance or cooperation made by Brink’s or BHS pursuant to Section 8.01 or this Section 8.02.  BHS and Brink’s acknowledge that failure to conform to the deadlines set forth herein or reasonable deadlines otherwise set by Brink’s or BHS could cause irreparable harm.
 
(a) Each Company shall provide to the other Company information and documents relating to its Group required by the other Company to prepare Tax Returns.  Any information or documents the Responsible Company requires to prepare such Tax Returns shall be provided in such form as the Responsible Company reasonably requests and in sufficient time for the Responsible Company to file such Tax Returns on a timely basis.
 
(b) At BHS’s sole expense, BHS shall provide to Brink’s the information reasonably requested in writing by Brink’s in connection with the preparation of Tax Returns in accordance with the deadlines set forth in such written request.

BHS agrees, and will cause all other members of the BHS Group to agree, upon 10  business days’ notice by Brink’s, in the case of a failure by BHS to provide information pursuant to Section 8.01 or this Section 8.02, to permit any such Accountant full access to all records or other information requested by such Accountant that are in the possession of BHS or any member of the BHS Group during reasonable business hours.  BHS agrees promptly to pay Brink’s all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Brink’s in connection with the engagement of such Accountant.

(b) any Tax Benefit payments made by a Company under Article VI, shall be reported for Tax purposes by the payor and the recipient as distributions or capital contributions, as appropriate, occurring immediately before the Distribution (but only to the extent the payment does not relate to a Tax allocated to the payor in accordance with Section 1552 of the Code or the regulations thereunder or Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-33(d) (or under corresponding principles of other applicable Tax Laws)) or as payments of an assumed or retained liability.
 
SECTION 13.02. Tax Gross Up.  If, notwithstanding the manner in which indemnity payments and Tax Benefit payments were reported, there is an adjustment to the Tax liability of a Company as a result of its receipt of a payment pursuant to this Agreement, such payment shall be appropriately adjusted so that the amount of such payment, reduced by the amount of all income Taxes payable with respect to the receipt thereof (but taking into account all correlative Tax Benefits resulting from the payment of such income Taxes), shall equal the amount of the payment that the Company receiving such payment would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to this Agreement.
 
SECTION 13.03. Interest Under This Agreement.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, to the extent one Company (“Indemnitor”) makes a payment of interest to another Company (“Indemnitee”) under this Agreement with respect to the period from the date that the Indemnitee made a payment of Tax to a Tax Authority to the date that the Indemnitor reimbursed the Indemnitee for such Tax payment, the interest payment shall be treated as interest expense to the Indemnitor (deductible to the extent provided by law) and as interest income by the Indemnitee (includible in income to the extent provided by law).  The amount of the payment shall not be adjusted under Section 13.02 to take into account any associated Tax Benefit to the Indemnitor or Tax Detriment to the Indemnitee.

ARTICLE XIV
 
Disagreements
 
SECTION 14.01. Disagreements.  The Companies mutually desire that collaboration will continue between them.  Accordingly, they will try, and they will cause their respective Group members to try, to resolve in an amicable manner all disagreements and misunderstandings connected with their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement, including any amendments hereto.  In furtherance thereof, in the event of any dispute or disagreement (other than a High-Level Dispute) (a “Tax Arbitrator Dispute”) between the Companies as to the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement or the performance of obligations hereunder, the Tax departments of the Companies shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the Tax Arbitrator Dispute.  If such good faith negotiations do not resolve the Tax Arbitrator Dispute, then the matter, upon written request of either Company, will be referred to a tax lawyer or accountant acceptable to each of the Companies (the “Tax Arbitrator”).  The Tax Arbitrator may, in its discretion, obtain the services of any third-party appraiser, accounting firm or consultant that the Tax Arbitrator deems necessary to assist it in resolving such disagreement.  The Tax Arbitrator shall furnish written notice to the Companies of its resolution of any such Tax Arbitrator Dispute as soon as practical, but in any event no later than 45 days after its acceptance of the matter for resolution.  Any such resolution by the Tax Arbitrator will be conclusive and binding on the Companies.  Following receipt of the Tax Arbitrator’s written notice to the Companies of its resolution of the Tax Arbitrator Dispute, the Companies shall each take or cause to be taken any action necessary to implement such resolution of the Tax Arbitrator.  In accordance with Article XVI, each Company shall pay its own fees and expenses (including the fees and expenses of its representatives) incurred in connection with the referral of the matter to the Tax Arbitrator.  All fees and expenses of the Tax Arbitrator in connection with such referral shall be shared equally by the Companies.  Any High-Level Dispute shall be resolved pursuant to the procedures set forth in Article VIII of the Separation and Distribution Agreement.  Nothing in this Article XIV will prevent either Company from seeking injunctive relief if any delay resulting from the efforts to resolve the Tax Arbitrator Dispute through the Tax Arbitrator (or any delay resulting from the efforts to resolve any High-Level Dispute through the procedures set forth in Article VIII of the Separation and Distribution Agreement) could result in serious and irreparable injury to either Company.
 
 
ARTICLE XV
 
Late Payments
 
SECTION 15.01. Late Payments.  Any amount owed by one party to another party under this Agreement that is not paid when due shall bear interest at the Prime Rate plus 2%, compounded semiannually, from the due date of the payment to the date paid.  To the extent interest required to be paid under this Article XV duplicates interest required to be paid under any other provision of this Agreement, interest shall be computed at the higher of the interest rate provided under this Article XV or the interest rate provided under such other provision.

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

ARTICLE II
 
Stock Options and Deferred Stock Units
 
SECTION 2.01. Stock Option Conversion.  (a)  Effective immediately upon the Distribution, each option to purchase Brink’s Common Stock granted under The Brink’s Company 1988 Stock Option Plan, The Brink’s Company 2005 Equity Incentive Plan, The Brink’s Company Non-Employee Directors’ Equity Plan or The Brink’s Company Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan (collectively, the “Brink’s Stock Plans”), whether vested or unvested, that is held, immediately prior to the Distribution, by any (i) BHS Employee, (ii) former employee of BHS or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any such individual who was employed directly by Brink’s or any of its Subsidiaries (other than BHS or any of its Subsidiaries) at any time following such individual’s most recent direct employment with BHS or any of its Subsidiaries) (each such former employee, a “Former BHS Employee”) or (iii) non-employee member of the board of directors of Brink’s who, in connection with the Distribution, ceases to be a member of the board of directors of Brink’s and becomes a member of the board of directors of BHS (each such director, a “Transferring Director”, and each such option, a “Brink’s Stock Option”) shall be converted into an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Brink’s Stock Option, the number of shares of BHS Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) determined by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Brink’s Common Stock subject to such Brink’s Stock Option immediately prior to the Distribution for which such Brink’s Stock Option shall not theretofore have been exercised by (B) the Option Ratio (as defined below) (each, as so adjusted, a “Converted BHS Stock Option”).  The exercise price per share of each Converted BHS Stock Option shall be equal to the per share exercise price for the shares of Brink’s Common Stock otherwise purchasable pursuant to the corresponding Brink’s Stock Option divided by the Option Ratio, and rounded up to the nearest whole cent.  The adjustments provided in this Section 2.01(a) with respect to any Brink’s Stock Options, whether or not they are “incentive stock options” as defined in Section 422 of the Code, are intended to be effected in a manner that is consistent with Section 424(a) and Section 409A of the Code.

SECTION 3.02. U.S. Tax-Qualified 401(k) Plan.  (a)  Effective no later than the Distribution, BHS shall have in effect a defined contribution plan that includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code (the “BHS 401(k) Plan”) that will provide benefits to BHS Employees and Former BHS Employees participating in The Brink’s Company 401(k) Plan (the “Brink’s 401(k) Plan”).  Each BHS Employee and Former BHS Employee participating in the Brink’s 401(k) Plan immediately prior to the effectiveness of the BHS 401(k) Plan shall become a participant in the BHS 401(k) Plan as of such effectiveness.  BHS shall cause each BHS Employee to be credited with all service accrued with Brink’s and its Subsidiaries prior to such transfer for all purposes under the BHS 401(k) Plan.
 
(b) No later than the Distribution, Brink’s shall cause to be transferred to the BHS 401(k) Plan, and BHS shall cause the BHS 401(k) Plan to accept, an amount equal to the account balances of all BHS Employees and Former BHS Employees who are participants in the Brink’s 401(k) Plan.  Such transfer shall include any promissory notes evidencing outstanding loan balances under the Brink’s 401(k) Plan with respect to such account balances.  Brink’s shall debit the account of each such individual under the Brink’s 401(k) Plan by the amount transferred for the benefit of such individual to the BHS 401(k) Plan, and BHS shall allocate the amounts transferred to the BHS 401(k) Plan to the account of each such individual by crediting such account with the amount debited from such individual’s account under the Brink’s 401(k) Plan.  Following the foregoing transfer, BHS and/or the BHS 401(k) Plan shall assume all Liabilities of Brink’s, the Brink’s Group and their respective Affiliates under the Brink’s 401(k) Plan with respect to all participants in the Brink’s 401(k) Plan whose balances were transferred to the BHS 401(k) Plan and their beneficiaries, and Brink’s, the Brink’s Group and their respective Affiliates and the Brink’s 401(k) Plan shall have no Liabilities to provide such participants with benefits under the Brink’s 401(k) Plan following such transfer.  Brink’s and BHS shall use reasonable efforts to minimize the duration of any “blackout period” imposed in connection with the transfer of account balances from the Brink’s 401(k) Plan to the BHS 401(k) Plan.
 
SECTION 3.03. Director Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plans.  Brink’s shall retain, or shall cause the applicable other members of the Brink’s Group to retain, sponsorship of, and all assets and Liabilities arising out of or relating to, The Brink’s Company Directors’ Stock Accumulation Plan and The Brink’s Company Plan for Deferral of Directors’ Fees, and shall make, or cause to be made, payments to all participants in such plans, including those who are current or former directors of BHS, in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan.

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

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 
Introduction

The Brink's Company (the “Company”) has prepared the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations presented below to give effect to certain transactions and events related to the spin-off (the “Spin-off”) by the Company of all of the common stock of Brink's Home Security Holdings, Inc. (“BHSH”), which took place on October 31, 2008.  The Company has prepared these pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements from the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, which can be found in the quarterly report of the Company filed on Form 10-Q on October 30, 2008, and for the year ended December 31, 2007, which can be found in the annual report of the Company filed on Form 10-K on February 27, 2008.  The historical financial information for BHSH has been derived from the Company’s records using historical BHSH information.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations and balance sheet give effect to the following transactions:
 
 
·
the Spin-off;
 
 
·
the elimination of certain expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the Spin-off;
 
 
·
income the Company will earn as a result of payments that BHSH will make to the Company after the Spin-off pursuant to a Brand Licensing Agreement entered into on the date of the Spin-off; and
 
 
·
a $50 million cash contribution from the Company to BHSH.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2008, gives effect to the transactions described above as if they occurred on September 30, 2008.  The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, and the year ended December 31, 2007 give effect to the transactions described above as if they occurred on January 1, 2007.  We based the pro forma adjustments on the best information available and assumptions that we believe are reasonable given the information available.
 
 
 
ii

 
 
Prior to the Spin-off, the Company provided corporate overhead functions for BHSH.  After the Spin-off, the Company will no longer provide certain of these services for BHSH and will provide other such services to BHSH in exchange for a fee pursuant to a Transition Services Agreement entered into in connection with the Spin-off.  Accordingly, the Company will receive fee payments from BHSH.  The pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any payments from BHSH because they are not reasonably estimable and factually supportable and because the Company does not expect the amount of these fee payments to be material.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is for illustrative and information purposes only and is not intended to represent, or be indicative of, what the Company's financial position or results of operations would have been had the Spin-off and related transactions occurred on the dates indicated.  The unaudited pro forma financial information also should not be considered representative of the Company's financial position, and you should not rely upon the condensed consolidated financial information presented below as a representation of the Company's future performance.
