Deferred Stock Units Award Agreement





This AWARD AGREEMENT, dated as of [date], is between The Brink’s Company, a Virginia corporation (the “Company”), and the member of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) identified on page one of this Award Agreement (the “Director”).





By resolution dated on the date of this Award Agreement, the Board, acting pursuant to The Brink’s Company Non-Employee Directors’ Equity Plan (the “Plan”), a copy of which Plan has heretofore been furnished to the Director (who hereby acknowledges receipt), granted to the Director a deferred stock units award as set
forth on page one of this Award Agreement.





Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:





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





2.   Subject to the Director’s satisfaction of vesting conditions described below, (unless otherwise provided under the terms and conditions of the Plan or this Award Agreement), the Director shall be entitled to receive (and the Company
shall deliver to the Director) on the first day that is more than six months after the Director’s termination of service from the Board, the number of Shares underlying this Award.





3.   If a cash dividend is paid on a Share while the Award remains outstanding, the Director shall be entitled to receive at the time such cash dividend is paid, a cash payment in an amount equivalent to the cash dividend on a Share with
respect to each Share covered by the outstanding Award.





4.   The Award shall be fully vested as of the earlier of [one year from the date of grant] or the Director’s termination of service as a member of the Board.





5.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in paragraph 4 above, in the event of the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Award will fully vest upon the Change in Control (to the extent not already vested), provided,
however, that notwithstanding Section 11(g) of the Plan, the Award will become payable only on the first day that is more than six months after the Director’s termination of service from the Board.





6.   The Shares underlying the Award, until and unless delivered to the Director, do not represent an equity interest in the Company and carry no voting rights.  The Director will not have any rights of a shareholder with respect
to the Shares underlying the Award until the Shares have been delivered to the Director.





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

This Award Agreement may at any time be amended by mutual agreement of the Board (or a designee thereof) and the holder of the Award.  Prior to a Change in Control of the Company, this
Award Agreement may be amended by the Company, and upon written notice by the Company, given by registered or certified mail, to the holder of the Award of any such amendment of this Award Agreement or of any amendment of the Plan adopted prior to such a Change in Control, this Award Agreement shall be deemed to incorporate the amendment to this Award Agreement or to the Plan specified in such notice, unless such holder shall, within 30 days of the giving of such notice by the Company, give written notice to
the Company that such amendment is not accepted by such holder, in which case the terms of this Award Agreement shall remain unchanged.  Subject to any applicable provisions of the Company’s bylaws or of the Plan, any applicable determinations, order, resolutions or other actions of the Board shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Company and the holder of the Award.  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the
