its Subsidiaries other than the Restricted Activities;

       

    

    (ii)  in

purchase of products or services from, or sale of products or services to,

primary purpose of any such purchases or sales is not to assist such Person in
engaging in or establishing a Competing Business;

are listed on any national securities exchange or automated quotation

    (iv)  the
ownership of indebtedness of any Competing Business if (A) the aggregate
principal amount of indebtedness of such Competing Business owned by Brink’s and
its Subsidiaries does not exceed $50,000,000 and (B) such indebtedness

acquisition of any interest in, or indebtedness of, a Competing Business, if the
Restricted Activities of such Competing Business account for less than 20.0% of
such Competing Business’s consolidated annual revenues for the fiscal year
immediately preceding the date on which such acquisition or combination is
consummated, provided that, if
revenues from such Restricted Activities exceeded $50,000,000 during the
12 month period immediately preceding such acquisition or combination,
Brink’s or its Subsidiary, as the case may be, will sell its interest in such
Competing Business within 12 months of such acquisition or

the event Brink’s or any of its Subsidiaries acquires an ownership or other
interest in, or indebtedness of, any Competing Business in excess of the
percentage or dollar thresholds set forth in Section 3(b)(iii), (iv) or
(v), Section 3(a) shall nevertheless be deemed not breached in the event
that Brink’s or the relevant Subsidiary uses all reasonable efforts to dispose
of such interest or indebtedness in excess of such thresholds in a bona fide sale at market
value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of Brink’s) as soon
as possible, and Brink’s or the relevant Subsidiary completes the sale of such
interest or indebtedness in excess of such thresholds within 12 months of the
date of acquisition of such interest or indebtedness.  For the
avoidance of doubt, Brink’s or the relevant Subsidiary will be in breach of this
Agreement if it continues to have any ownership or other interest in, or
indebtedness of, such Competing Business in excess of such thresholds beyond 12
months following the date of the acquisition of such interest or
indebtedness.

the Non-Compete Period, Brink’s shall not, and shall cause each of its
Subsidiaries not to, enter into any new agreement to license any of the Trade Symbols
or any other mark using the word “Brink’s” or any derivation thereof to any
Person (other than BHS or any of its Subsidiaries) for use in any Restricted
Activities; provided, however, that this clause (d) shall
not prohibit any license of any of the Trade Symbols to Hampton Products
International, Corp. pursuant to an amendment, renewal, or replacement of the
Hampton Agreement so long as the Restricted Activities for which such Trade
Symbols may be used are not broader in scope than the Restricted Activities set
forth in the Hampton Agreement as of the date of this
Agreement.

       

    

    SECTION

hire any employee of BHS or any of its Subsidiaries or (b) solicit or
encourage any employee of BHS or any of its Subsidiaries to leave the employment
of BHS or such Subsidiary, provided that this Section will not
prohibit (i) general solicitations of or advertisements for employment by
Brink’s or any of its Subsidiaries that are not specifically directed toward
such employees and (ii) the solicitation, recruitment or hiring by Brink’s
or any of its Subsidiaries of any such employee whose employment with BHS or any
of its Subsidiaries was involuntarily terminated prior to such solicitation,

Resolution.  The Dispute Resolution provisions in

mutatis mutandis, to this
Agreement.

     

    SECTION
6.  Miscellaneous.  (a)  Except
as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Miscellaneous provisions

Article XII addresses counterparts, entire agreement, corporate power,
governing law, assignability, third party beneficiaries, notices, severability,
force majeure, publicity, expenses, headings, survival of covenants, waivers of
default, specific performance, amendments, interpretation, jurisdiction, service
of process, currency and late payments) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to this
Agreement.

     

    (b)  Construction. If
any restriction or covenant contained in this Agreement is in any way construed
to be too broad or to any extent invalid, such provision shall not be construed
to be void and of no effect, but to the extent such provision would be valid or
enforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be construed and
interpreted or reformed so as to provide for a provision having the maximum
enforceable geographic area, time period and other terms (not exceeding those
contained herein) as valid and enforceable under applicable law.  The
parties hereto acknowledge that this Agreement has been negotiated and that the
restrictions contained herein are reasonable in light of the circumstances that
pertain to the parties hereto.

      (c)  Assignability.  This
Agreement shall be binding on upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that no
party hereto may assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this
Agreement without the express prior written consent of the other party
hereto.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) in
the event any Person acquires, by any means, including by merger or
consolidation, assets of BHS or its Subsidiaries, including equity interests in
any such Subsidiaries, that constitute all or substantially all the consolidated
assets of BHS and its Subsidiaries that are used in connection with the BHS
Business (as such term is defined in the Transition Services Agreement), BHS may
assign its rights and obligations hereunder to such acquirer and
(ii) Brink’s agrees not to effect (or allow any of its Subsidiaries to
effect), or enter into (or allow any of its Subsidiaries to enter into) any
agreement to effect, any sale, transfer or other disposition by any means of
assets constituting all or substantially all the consolidated assets of Brink’s
and its Subsidiaries to any Person (other than Brink’s or any of its
Subsidiaries) if the successor, surviving or acquiring Person will not
automatically succeed to the obligations of Brink’s under this Agreement by
operation of law, unless such Person agrees in writing, for the benefit of BHS,
to assume the obligations of Brink’s hereunder with respect to the assets so
acquired by such Person.

    SECTION 4.  Administration.

     

    (a)           The
Plan shall be administered by the Committee.  The Committee shall be
appointed by the Board and shall consist of not less than three directors, each
of whom shall be independent, within the meaning of and to the extent required
by applicable rulings and interpretations of the New York Stock Exchange and the

Director”, as defined from time to time for purposes of Section 16 of the Act
and the rules promulgated thereunder and shall satisfy the requirements for an
outside director pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Code, and any regulations

member at any meeting of the Committee.  No member or alternate member
of the Committee shall be eligible, while a member or alternate member, for
participation in the Plan.  The Committee may issue rules and
regulations for administration of the Plan.  It shall meet at such
times and places as it may determine.

     

    (b)           Subject
to the terms of the Plan and applicable law, the Committee shall have full power
and authority to: (i) designate Participants; (ii) determine the type or types

to which payments, rights, or other matters are to be calculated in connection
with) Awards; (iv) determine the terms and conditions of any Award; (v)
determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances Awards may be

be settled, exercised, canceled, forfeited or suspended; (vi) determine whether,
to what extent, and under what circumstances cash, Shares, other securities,
other Awards, and other amounts payable with respect to an Award under the Plan
shall be deferred either automatically or at the election of the holder thereof
or of the Committee; (vii) interpret and administer the Plan and any instrument
or agreement relating to, or Award made under, the Plan; (viii) establish,
amend, suspend or waive such rules and regulations and appoint such agents as it
shall deem appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan; and (ix) make
any other determination and take any other action that the Committee deems
necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan.

    SECTION 5.  Shares Available for
Awards.

    
       

      (a)           Subject
to adjustment as provided below, the number of Shares available for issuance
under the Plan shall be equal to the sum of (i) 1,000,000 and (ii)
the aggregate number of Shares subject to the Converted Awards.  Any
Shares covered by an Award other than Options, SARs and Converted Awards shall
be counted against this limit as 2 Shares for every one Share covered by the
Award.  In addition, each SAR shall be counted against this limit as
one Share, regardless of whether a Share is used to settle the SAR upon
exercise.  Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to adjustment as
provided in Section 5(d), no Participant may receive Options and SARs under the
Plan (other than Converted Awards) in any calendar year that relate to more than
200,000 Shares.

      
         

        (b)           If,
after the effective date of the Plan, any Shares covered by an Award, other than
a Substitute Award but including Converted Awards, or to which such an Award
relates, are forfeited, or if such an Award otherwise terminates without the
delivery of Shares or of other consideration, then the Shares covered by such
Award, or to which such Award relates, to the extent of any such forfeiture or
termination, shall again be, or shall become, available for issuance under the
Plan.

    (c)           Any
Shares delivered pursuant to an Award may consist, in whole or in part, of
authorized and unissued Shares or Shares acquired by the Company.

     

    
      (d)           In
the event that the Committee shall determine that any dividend or other
distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares or other securities),
recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger,
consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of Shares
or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to
purchase Shares or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate
transaction or event affects the Shares such that an adjustment is determined by
the Committee to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of
the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan,
then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or
all of (i) the number and type of Shares (or other securities) which thereafter
may be made the subject of Awards, including the aggregate and individual limits
specified in Section 5(a) and Section 9(d), (ii) the number and type of Shares
(or other securities) subject to outstanding Awards, and (iii) the grant,
purchase, or exercise price with respect to any Award or, if deemed appropriate,
make provision for a cash payment to the holder of an outstanding Award; provided, however, that the
number of Shares subject to any Award denominated in Shares shall always be a
whole number.

    

     

    (e)           Shares
underlying Substitute Awards shall not reduce the number of Shares remaining
available for issuance under the Plan.

     

    (f)           Effective
as of the Distribution, the Converted Awards shall become obligations of the
Company under the Plan, and the Company shall assume all liabilities and
responsibilities with respect thereto, in each case as provided in the EMA
Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the terms and
conditions applicable to the Converted Awards shall be as specified in the EMA
Agreement.

     

    
       

      SECTION 6.  Options.

    

     

    The Committee is hereby authorized to
grant Options to Participants with the following terms and conditions and with
such additional terms and conditions, in either case not inconsistent with the
provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine:

     

    (a)           The
purchase price per Share under an Option shall be determined by the Committee;
provided, however, that, except in the
case of Substitute Awards, such purchase price shall not be less than the Fair
Market Value of a Share on the date of grant of such Option.

     

     

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        6

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

     

    (b)           The
term of each Option shall be fixed by the Committee but shall not exceed 6 years
from the date of grant thereof.

     

    (c)           The
Committee shall determine the time or times at which an Option may be exercised
in whole or in part;
provided, however, that, except in the
event of a Change in Control and in the case of Substitute Awards, an Option
shall not be exercisable before the expiration of one year from the date the
Option is granted.

     

    (d)           The
Committee shall determine the method or methods by which, and the form or forms,
including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other Awards, or any combination
thereof, having a Fair Market Value on the exercise date equal to the relevant
exercise price, in which, payment of the exercise price with respect to Awards
may be made or deemed to have been made.

     

    (e)           The
terms of any Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan shall comply in all
respects with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code, or any successor
provision thereto, and any regulations promulgated thereunder.

     

    (f)    Options shall not be
granted under the Plan in consideration for and shall not be conditioned upon
the delivery of Shares to the Company in payment of the exercise price and/or
tax withholding obligation under any other employee stock option.

     

    (g)           Section
11 sets forth certain additional provisions that shall apply to
Options.

     

    SECTION 7.  Stock Appreciation
Rights.

     

    (a)           The
Committee is hereby authorized to grant Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”) to Participants with
terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine not inconsistent with the
provisions of the Plan.

     

    (b)           SARs
may be granted hereunder to Participants either alone (“freestanding”) or in addition
to other Awards granted under the Plan (“tandem”) and may, but need
not, relate to a specific Option granted under Section 6.

     

    (c)           Any
tandem SAR related to an Option may be granted at the same time such Option is
granted or at any time thereafter before exercise or expiration of such
Option.  In the case of any tandem SAR related to any Option, the SAR
or applicable portion thereof shall not be exercisable until the related Option
or applicable portion thereof is exercisable and shall terminate and no longer
be exercisable upon the termination or exercise of the related Option, except
that a SAR granted with respect to less than the full number of Shares covered
by a related Option shall not be reduced until the exercise or termination of
the related Option exceeds the number of Shares not covered by the
SAR.  Any Option related to any tandem SAR shall no longer be
exercisable to the extent the related SAR has been exercised.

    (d)           A
freestanding SAR shall not have a term of greater than 6 years or, unless it is
a Substitute Award, an exercise price less than 100% of Fair Market Value of the
Share on the date of grant and, except in the event of a Change in Control and
in the case of Substitute Awards, shall not be exercisable before the expiration
of one year from the date the SAR is granted.

     

    (e)           Section
11 sets forth certain additional provisions that shall apply to
SARs.

    
       

      SECTION 8.  Restricted
Stock.

    

     

    (a)           The
Committee is hereby authorized to grant Awards of Restricted Stock to
Participants.

     

    (b)           Shares
of Restricted Stock shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may
impose (including, without limitation, any limitation on the right to vote a
Share of Restricted Stock or the right to receive any dividend or other right),
which restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such time or times,
in such installments or otherwise, as the Committee may deem appropriate; provided, however, that
subject to Section 12(g) and except in the case of Substitute Awards, Restricted
Stock shall have a vesting period of not less than one year.

     

    (c)           Any
Share of Restricted Stock granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner
as the Committee may deem appropriate including, without limitation, book-entry
registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates.  In
the event any stock certificate is issued in respect of Shares of Restricted
Stock granted under the Plan, such certificate shall be registered in the name
of the Participant and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms,
conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock.

     

    (d)           The
Committee may in its discretion, when it finds that a waiver would be in the
best interests of the Company, waive in whole or in part any or all restrictions
with respect to Shares of Restricted Stock; provided, that the Committee
may not waive the restriction in the proviso of Section 8(b).

     

    (e)           Section
11 sets forth certain additional provisions that shall apply to Restricted
Stock.

     

    
      SECTION 9.  Performance Stock.

    (b)           Subject
to the terms of the Plan, Shares of Performance Stock shall be subject to such
restrictions as the Committee may impose (including, without limitation, any
limitation on the right to vote a Share of Performance Stock or the right to
receive any dividend or other right), which restrictions may lapse, in whole or
in part, upon the achievement of such performance goals during such performance
periods as the Committee shall establish.  Subject to the terms of the
Plan, the performance goals to be achieved during any performance period, the
length of any performance period, the number of Shares subject to any Award of
Performance Stock granted and subsequently released to a Participant shall be
determined by the Committee; provided, however, that subject to
Section 12(g), the performance period relating to any Award of Performance Stock
shall be at least one year.

     

    (c)           Any
Share of Performance Stock granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such
manner as the Committee may deem appropriate including, without limitation,
book-entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or
certificates.  In the event any stock certificate is issued in respect
of Shares of Performance Stock granted under the Plan, such certificate shall be
registered in the name of the Participant and shall bear an appropriate legend
referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such
Performance Stock.

    
       

      (d)           Every
Award of Performance Stock to a member of the Executive Group shall, if the
Committee intends that such Award should constitute “qualified performance-based
compensation” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code, include a
pre-established formula, such that payment, retention or vesting of the Award is
subject to the achievement during a performance period or periods, as determined
by the Committee, of a level or levels, as determined by the Committee, of
performance measures with respect to the Company, any Subsidiary and/or any
business unit of the Company or any Subsidiary, such performance measures to be
comprised of one or more of the following: (i) net income, (ii) operating
income, (iii) return on assets, (iv) revenue growth, (v) total shareholder
return, (vi) earnings per share, (vii) return on equity, (viii) net revenue per
employee, (ix) market share, (x) return on capital and/or economic value added
(or equivalent metric), (xi) cash flow and/or free cash flow (before or after
dividends), (xii) subscriber growth (on an average or period ending basis),
(xiii) growth in monthly recurring revenue, (xiv) growth in installations (on a
gross or net basis) or (xv) rate or number of disconnects (on a gross or net
basis), each as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, where applicable, as consistently applied by the Company and, if so
determined by the Committee prior to the release or forfeiture of the Shares of
Performance Stock, adjusted, to the extent permitted under Section 162(m) of the
Code if the Committee intends the Award of Performance Stock to continue to
constitute “qualified performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of
the Code, to omit the effects of extraordinary items, the gain or loss on the
disposal of a business segment, unusual or infrequently occurring events and
transactions, accruals for awards under the Plan and cumulative effects of
changes in accounting principles.  Performance measures may vary from
Performance Stock Award to Performance Stock Award and from Participant to
Participant and may be established on a stand-alone basis, in tandem or in the
alternative.  For any recipient of Awards subject to any such
pre-established formula, the maximum number of Shares subject to all Awards
granted to any such recipient in any year shall be 200,000, subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 5(d).  Notwithstanding any provision
of the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may decrease, but shall not be
authorized to increase, the number of Shares subject to any Award to which this
Section 9(d) applies upon attainment of such pre-established
formula.

11 sets forth certain additional provisions that shall apply to Performance
Stock.

    

    
      
         

        
          SECTION 10.  Other Stock-Based Awards.

        

      

    

     

    The Committee is hereby authorized to
grant to Participants such other Awards (including, without limitation, rights
to dividends and dividend equivalents) that are denominated or payable in,
valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to,
Shares (including, without limitation, securities convertible into Shares) as
are deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the
Plan.  Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee shall determine
the terms and conditions of such Awards.  Shares or other securities
delivered pursuant to a purchase right granted under this Section 10 shall be
purchased for such consideration, which may be paid by such method or methods
and in such form or forms, including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other
securities, other Awards, or any combination thereof, as the Committee shall
determine, the value of which consideration, as established by the Committee,
shall, except in the case of Substitute Awards, not be less than the Fair Market
Value of such Shares or other securities as of the date such purchase right is
granted.

    
       

      
        SECTION 11.  Effect of Termination of Employment
on Awards.

      

    

     

    Except as otherwise provided by the
Committee at the time an Option, SAR, Restricted Stock, or Performance Stock is
granted or in any amendment thereto, if a Participant ceases to be employed by
the Company or any Affiliate, then:

     

    (a)           with
respect to an Option or SAR:

     

    (i)           subject
to Section 11(a)(ii), if termination is by reason of the Participant’s
Retirement or permanent and total disability, each Option or SAR held by the
Participant shall continue to remain outstanding and shall become or remain
exercisable and in full force and effect in accordance with its terms until the
expiration date of the Award;

    (ii)           if
termination is by reason of the death of the Participant, or if the Participant
dies after Retirement or permanent and total disability as referred to in
Section 11(a)(i), each Option or SAR held by the Participant shall become fully
exercisable at the time of the Participant’s death (or, except with respect to
Substitute Awards, if later, at the time of the one year anniversary of the
Option or SAR grant date) and may be exercised by the Participant’s Beneficiary
at any time within a period of three years after death (but not after the
expiration date of the Award);

     

    (iii)          if
termination of employment is for any reason other than as provided in Section
11(a)(i) or (ii), the Participant may exercise each Option or SAR held by the
Participant within 90 days after such termination (but not after the expiration
date of such Award) to the extent such Award was exercisable pursuant to its
terms at the date of termination; provided, however, if the Participant
should die within 90 days after such termination, each Option or SAR held by the
Participant may be exercised by the Participant’s Beneficiary at any time within
a period of one year after death (but not after the expiration date of the
Award) to the extent such Award was exercisable pursuant to its terms at the
date of termination;

     

    (b)           with
respect to Restricted Stock:

     

    (i)           subject
to Section 11(b)(ii), if termination is by reason of the Participant’s
Retirement or permanent and total disability, each Restricted Stock Award held
by the Participant shall continue to remain outstanding and in full force and
effect and any restrictions with respect to such Restricted Stock Award shall
lapse in accordance with the terms of the Award;

     

    (ii)           if
termination is by reason of the Participant’s death, or if the Participant dies
after Retirement or permanent and total disability as referred to in Section
11(b)(i), any and all restrictions with respect to each Restricted Stock Award
held by the Participant shall lapse at the time of the Participant’s death (or,
except with respect to Substitute Awards, if later, at the time of the one year
anniversary of the Restricted Stock Award grant date);

     

    (iii)          if
termination of employment is by reason other than as provided in Section
11(b)(i) or (ii), any Restricted Stock Award held by the Participant that
remains subject to restrictions shall be canceled as of such termination of
employment and shall have no further force or effect;

     

    (c)           with
respect to Performance Stock:

    (i)          
 if termination is by reason of the Participant’s Retirement or permanent
and total disability, each Performance Stock Award held by the Participant shall
remain outstanding and in full force and effect and any restrictions with
respect to such Performance Stock Award shall lapse in accordance with the terms
of the Award (including the requirements for achieving the applicable
performance measures) regardless of whether the Participant dies during such
period;

     

    (ii)           if
termination of employment occurs prior to the expiration of any performance
period applicable to a Performance Stock Award and such termination is by reason
of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s Beneficiary shall be entitled to
receive following the expiration of such performance period, a pro-rata portion
of the number of Shares subject to the Performance Stock Award with respect to
which the restrictions would have otherwise lapsed notwithstanding the
Participant’s death, determined based on the number of days in the performance
period that shall have elapsed prior to such termination, and the remainder of
such Performance Stock Award shall be canceled; and

     

    (iii)          if
termination of employment occurs prior to the expiration of any performance
period applicable to a Performance Stock Award and such termination is for any
reason other than as provided in Section 11(c)(i) or (ii), any Performance Stock
Award held by the Participant shall be canceled as of such termination of
employment and shall have no further force or effect.

    
       

      
        SECTION 12.  General Provisions Applicable to
Awards.

      

    

     

    (a)           Awards
shall be granted for no cash consideration or for such minimal cash
consideration as may be required by applicable law.

     

    (b)           Awards
may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition
to or in tandem with any other Award or any award granted under any other plan
of the Company.  Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other
Awards, or in addition to or in tandem with awards granted under any other plan
of the Company, may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time
from the grant of such other Awards or awards.

     

    (c)           Subject
to the terms of the Plan, payments or transfers to be made by the Company upon
the grant, exercise or payment of an Award may be made in the form of cash,
Shares, other securities or other Awards, or any combination thereof, as
determined by the Committee in its discretion at the time of grant, and may be
made in a single payment or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred basis,
in each case in accordance with rules and procedures established by the
Committee.  Such rules and procedures may include, without limitation,
provisions for the payment or crediting of reasonable interest on installment or
deferred payments or the grant or crediting of dividend equivalents in respect
of installment or deferred payments.

    (d)           No
Award and no right under any Award shall be assignable, alienable, saleable or
transferable by a Participant otherwise than by will or pursuant to Section
12(e).  Each Award, and each right under any Award, shall be
exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant or, if
permissible under applicable law, by the Participant’s guardian or legal
representative.  The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to
any Award which has been fully exercised, earned or paid, as the case may be,
and shall not preclude forfeiture of an Award in accordance with the terms
thereof.

     

    (e)           A
Participant may designate a Beneficiary or change a previous beneficiary
designation at such times prescribed by the Committee by using forms and
following procedures approved or accepted by the Committee for that
purpose.  If no Beneficiary designated by the Participant is eligible
to receive payments or other benefits or exercise rights that are available
under the Plan at the Participant’s death, the Beneficiary shall be the
Participant’s estate.

     

    (f)           
All certificates for Shares or other securities delivered under the Plan
pursuant to any Award or the exercise thereof shall be subject to such stop
transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under
the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which such Shares or other
securities are then listed, and any applicable Federal or state securities laws,
and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such
certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

     

    (g)           Unless
specifically provided to the contrary in any Award Agreement, upon a Change in
Control, all Awards shall become fully exercisable, shall vest and shall be
settled, as applicable, and any restrictions applicable to any Award shall
automatically lapse.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a Change in
Control, Performance Stock Awards shall be considered to be earned at their
target level; any restrictions with respect to the target number of Shares
subject to a Performance Stock Award shall lapse and any remaining Shares
subject to such Performance Stock Award shall be cancelled and shall have no
further force or effect.

     

    SECTION 13.  Amendments and
Termination.

     

    (a)          
Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law and unless otherwise expressly
provided in an Award Agreement or in the Plan, the Board may amend, alter,
suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time;
provided, however, that
no such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination shall
be made without (i) shareholder approval if such approval is required by the
listing company rules of the New York Stock Exchange or (ii) the consent of the
affected Participant, if such action would adversely affect the rights of such
Participant under any outstanding Award, except to the extent any such
amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance or termination is made to
cause the Plan to comply with applicable law, stock exchange rules and
regulations or accounting or tax rules and
regulations.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
Committee may amend the Plan in such manner as may be necessary to enable the
Plan to achieve its stated purposes in any jurisdiction in a tax-efficient
manner and in compliance with local rules and regulations.

    
       

       

       

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          13

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

       

       

      (b)           The
Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or
amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate, any Award theretofore granted,
prospectively or retroactively, without the consent of any relevant Participant
or holder or beneficiary of an Award, provided, however, that no
such action shall impair the rights of any affected Participant or holder or
beneficiary under any Award theretofore granted under the Plan, except to the
extent any such action is made to cause the Plan to comply with applicable law,
stock exchange rules and regulations or accounting or tax rules and regulations;
and provided further
that, except as provided in Section 5(d), no such action shall directly or
indirectly, through cancellation and regrant or any other method, reduce, or
have the effect of reducing, the exercise price of any Award established at the
time of grant thereof and provided further, that the
Committee’s authority under this Section 13(b) is limited in the case of Awards
subject to Section 9(d), as set forth in Section 9(d).

    

     

    (c)           Except
as noted in Section 9(d), the Committee shall be authorized to make adjustments
in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in
recognition of events (including, without limitation, the events described in
Section 5(d)) affecting the Company, or the financial statements of the Company,
or of changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles, whenever
the Committee determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to
prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended
to be made available under the Plan.

     

    (d)           The
Committee may correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any
inconsistency in the Plan or any Award in the manner and to the extent it shall
deem desirable to carry the Plan into effect.

     

    SECTION 14.  Miscellaneous.

     

    (a)           No
employee, Participant or other person shall have any claim to be granted any
Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of
employees, Participants, or holders or beneficiaries of Awards under the
Plan.  The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with
respect to each recipient.

     

    (b)           The
Company shall be authorized to withhold from any Award granted or any payment
due or transfer made under any Award or under the Plan or from any compensation
or other amount owing to a Participant the amount (in cash, Shares, other
securities or other Awards) of withholding taxes due in respect of an Award, its
exercise, or any payment or transfer under such Award or under the Plan and to
take such other action (including, without limitation, providing for elective
payment of such amounts in cash or Shares by the Participant) as may be
necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for the
payment of such taxes.

     

     

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        14

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

     

    (c)           Nothing
contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company from adopting or continuing in
effect other or additional compensation arrangements, and such arrangements may
be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific
cases.

     

    (d)           The
grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be
retained in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate.  Further, the
Company or the applicable Affiliate may at any time dismiss a Participant from
employment, free from any liability, or any claim under the Plan, unless
otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any Award Agreement or in any
other agreement binding the parties.  The receipt of any Award under
the Plan is not intended to confer any rights on the receiving Participant
except as set forth in such Award.

     

    (e)           If
any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid,
illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any person or Award, or
would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the
Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to
applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in
the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan
or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person
or Award, and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full
force and effect.

     

    (f)         
  Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to
create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between
the Company and a Participant or any other person.  To the extent that
any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company pursuant to an
Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general
creditor of the Company.

     

    (g)           No
fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any
Award, and the Committee shall determine whether cash or other securities shall
be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Shares, or whether such
fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated or
otherwise eliminated.

     

    SECTION 15.  Effective Date of the
Plan.

     

     

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        15

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

     

    The Plan shall become effective upon
the Distribution.

     

    SECTION 16.  Term of the Plan.

     

    No Award shall be granted under the
Plan after the date of the annual shareholders meeting in the tenth year after
the effective date of the Plan.  However, unless otherwise expressly
provided in the Plan or in an applicable Award Agreement, any Award theretofore
granted may extend beyond such date, and the authority of the Committee to
amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue, or terminate any such Award, or to
waive any conditions or rights under any such Award, and the authority of the
Board to amend the Plan, shall extend beyond such date.
