PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
The Company provides a broad line of protective services for its customers,
including guard, alarm, armored transport and courier services. The Company
believes that, based on revenues and the variety of services offered, it is
the largest and broadest-based supplier in the protective services industry in
the United States.
COMPANY'S BUSINESS UNITS
The Company's protective services business is divided into four business
units: guard services, alarm services, armored transport services and courier
services. Information concerning the revenues, operating profit or loss and
identifiable assets attributable to each of the Company's business units is
incorporated herein by reference to Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.
GUARD SERVICES
The guard services unit provides a variety of guard and related security
services under the Wells Fargo(R), Burns(R), Globe(R) and other service marks
to over 13,000 government and business customers from approximately 319
locations throughout the United States, and in Canada, Colombia and the United
Kingdom. The Company believes that its guard services unit is the largest
contract guard services operation in the world, measured by revenues.
The Company's guard services unit supplies contract uniformed and
plainclothes security officers, who may or may not be armed, to perform a wide
variety of tasks. These security officers patrol and monitor commercial,
financial, industrial, residential and governmental facilities providing
deterrence against crime and breach of governmental security regulations and
detection of fire, accidents and other casualties. The security officers also
monitor electronic systems and control public and employee access to
facilities. Specialized assignments include nuclear and conventional electric
power plant security, pre-departure screening of passengers and luggage at
airports, mailroom services and investigative services, including background
investigations of prospective employees.
The guard services unit employs approximately 76,000 security officers.
Security officers undergo a standardized pre-employment screening program that
features mandatory drug screening, criminal record checks at the county and
municipal court level and verification of consumer credit reports, social
security information and driver's license records. Security officers receive
classroom orientation and field training in safety, first aid and security
techniques and in the handling of specific problems applicable to particular
industries or situations.
3
The guard services unit markets guard services through approximately 225
sales representatives nationwide and in Canada, Colombia and the United
Kingdom. Sales personnel operate out of local branch and sales offices. The
guard services unit also bids on contracts with governmental agencies.
Guard services contracts generally provide for such services on a
continuing basis and generally are terminable by either party upon 30 to 60
days notice. Charges for guard services are negotiated with customers and are
based upon payment of a specified amount per guard hour. Typically, such
charges are adjusted for any change in any law, ruling or collective
bargaining agreement causing a change in work hours, wage rates, working
conditions or other costs. Investigative services are generally provided under
specific arrangements, with charges varying according to the nature of the
assignment.
ALARM SERVICES
The alarm services unit provides electronic security services in the United
States and Canada under the Wells Fargo(R) service mark for its commercial
customers and under the Pony Express(R) service mark for its residential
customers. In addition, this unit provides an integrated guard, patrol and
alarm service to Bel Air, Beverly Hills and other suburbs of Los Angeles under
the trade name Bel-Air Patrol. The Company believes that its alarm services
unit is one of the largest electronic security service operations in the
United States, measured by revenues. The unit has approximately 2,440 full-
time and 165 part-time employees.
Commercial. The alarm services unit designs, installs, monitors and
services electronic detection systems located at customers' premises. These
systems are tailored to customers' needs and may include intrusion and fire
detection, critical process and sprinkler monitoring, access control and
closed-circuit television monitoring systems. The Company's alarm systems and
devices may be monitored on the premises of the customer by the customer's own
personnel or linked through telephone lines or long range radio to one of 12
central stations operated by the Company in the United States and Canada. The
Company also services its installed systems.
The alarm services unit services approximately 79,000 security systems in
financial institutions, industrial and commercial businesses and complexes,
warehouses, facilities of federal, state and local governments, defense
installations, and health care and educational facilities. Commercial accounts
represent approximately 90 percent of this unit's revenues.
The majority of the Company's monitoring contracts are for an initial five-
year period with automatic renewal for additional one-year terms, unless
terminated by either party. Upon installation, a customer pays an installation
fee and agrees to pay an annual service charge for ordinary maintenance and
monitoring during the life of the contract. It has been the unit's experience
that its customers generally continue the service after
4
expiration of the initial term of the contract and enter into new five-year
monitoring contracts. The cost of the installation is capitalized and
depreciated over varying periods that have a weighted average life of
approximately ten years. Approximately 71 percent of the alarm services
unit's revenue for 1994 was derived from service charges for maintenance and
central station monitoring.
The alarm services unit conducts its sales, installation and service
operations from 40 branch offices in the United States and Canada, some of
which are on the same premises as a monitoring station, and additional
satellite offices. The alarm services unit has a nationwide sales force that
is separated into broad-based commercial groups, as well as specialized sales
teams that address the specific needs of the financial community, engineered
systems market and other high growth segments of the industry. One group, for
example, focuses on multi-location companies such as national retail chains
and fast food outlets that require a single point of control for planning,
servicing, monitoring and reporting for all locations.
In 1994, the alarm services unit was restructured to bring decision-making
about service closer to the customer, and to strengthen management's
connection with existing operations. Nine regional offices were established to
manage the unit's 40 branches. The Company expects that the regional offices
will manage most of the administrative issues, while the branch offices devote
full attention to sales and service issues. The unit has continued
consolidating its monitoring stations into regional monitoring centers in
order to reduce costs. Since the beginning of 1991, the Company has reduced
the number of its monitoring stations from 34 to 12. The alarm services unit
has enhanced customer service through intensive training programs for sales,
management, installation and service employees and more sophisticated
operational controls.
The alarm services unit also makes direct sales of security equipment to
government and commercial users (including other companies in the alarm
business) and designs, assembles and sells engineered systems for commercial
fire suppression.
Residential. The alarm services unit also installs fire and intrusion
protection systems for residential customers under the Pony Express(R) service
mark. Residential customer sales, service and monitoring are generally
performed from the same facilities as for commercial accounts. Residential
systems are installed by the Company with monitoring agreements and often with
maintenance agreements. The majority of the residential monitoring contracts
are for an initial period of three to five years with automatic renewal for
additional one-year terms, unless terminated by either party. The unit
services approximately 27,000 residential security systems.
Bel-Air Patrol. The Company also provides a complete protective package,
including central station alarm service and surveillance systems, security
guards and day and night patrols, to residents in Bel Air and Beverly Hills
and other nearby communities of Los Angeles. The Company provides these
services to approximately 13,000 customers under
5
the trade name Bel-Air Patrol.
The alarm services unit purchases electronic equipment and component parts
for systems from a number of suppliers, and is not dependent upon any single
source for such equipment or parts.
ARMORED TRANSPORT SERVICES
The armored transport services unit is a security-related cash services
business that provides traditional armored transport services, automatic
teller machine ("ATM") services and cash management services in the United
States under the Wells Fargo(R) service mark. The unit employs approximately
7,000 employees at approximately 125 facilities throughout the United States
and Puerto Rico.
Armored Transport. The Company provides vault storage and specialized,
secure transportation services using armed guards in carrying currency,
securities and other valuables for banks and national and local retail
customers. Despite the widespread use of credit cards and wire transfers,
billions of dollars of currency, securities and other valuables are
transported daily as part of the United States economy. The Company's armored
transport business uses a fleet of approximately 2,100 vehicles to transport
approximately $5 billion of currency and securities each business day. The
Company believes it is the second largest armored transportation operation in
the United States, measured by revenues.
The Company provides armored transport services for over 15,000 customers,
including NationsBank, K-Mart and Wal Mart. Most of the customer contracts are
for a multi-year term with automatic renewal for additional one-year terms,
unless terminated by either party. It has been the unit's experience that its
customers generally continue the service after the initial term of the
contract.
The armored transport services operation has a sales force of approximately
40 people dedicated to the solicitation of transportation-related accounts and
a separate sales force that focuses solely on transportation-related accounts
for national retail customers. Approximately 45 percent of the armored
transport unit's revenue in 1994 was derived from retail customers. The
Company believes that retail customers provide an opportunity for significant
growth in the armored transport business.
Generally, the Company assumes responsibility for the safe arrival at the
destination of transported commodities. The armored transport unit maintains a
risk management department that is responsible for loss prevention, security
investigation, employee safety and training and coordination with local and
federal law enforcement personnel.
ATM Servicing. The armored transport unit also provides special services to
approximately 18,000 ATMs on a national basis. The Company believes it is the
leading
6
servicer of ATMs in the United States, measured by both revenues and the
number of ATMs serviced.
The Company controls its ATM services through an automated national
dispatching center located in Columbia, Maryland. The dispatch center
coordinates all customer requests and directs field technicians throughout the
country. The automation system provides detailed service confirmation data
both internally and to the customer. ATM servicing is a time-critical business
and the Company guarantees a response time of 90 minutes or less to its major
accounts.
During 1994 the Company expanded its service to offer financial
institutions a complete range of management and maintenance services for ATM
networks. The Company provides cash preparation and replenishment, deposit
collection and verification, on-site balancing of ATM funds, preventive
maintenance and first and second line maintenance services, including
necessary hardware maintenance. The Company also sells refurbished ATM
equipment.
In January 1994 the Company's ATM servicing unit acquired the assets of
Shields Business Machines, Inc., a New Jersey-based servicer of approximately
2,000 ATMs in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York.
The Company's ATM servicing unit has a sales force of approximately five
persons. Most of the customer contracts are for a multi-year term with
automatic renewal for additional one-year terms, unless terminated by either
party.
Cash Management Services. The armored transport unit also provides cash
management services to approximately 500 financial institutions and retail
customers. These highly automated services include currency storage and
preparation, micro-encoding of checks, deposit verification and consolidation,
coin wrapping and storage and food stamp processing. The Company's cash
management services represent a growing component of service as both financial
and retail institutions increasingly are outsourcing such operations. Existing
customers of the armored transport and ATM services operations represent a
potential market for the Company's cash management service. Most of the
customer contracts are for a multi-year term with automatic renewal for
additional one-year terms, unless terminated by either party.
COURIER SERVICES
The courier services unit transports time-sensitive packages for commercial
businesses and non-negotiable financial documents for Federal Reserve banks
and financial institutions through 39 branch and 70 satellite offices in 32
states under the Pony Express(R) service mark. The unit provides ground
courier services through a fleet of approximately 3,300 vehicles and
commercial and charter air service for longer distance or extremely time-
critical shipments. During 1994 the courier services unit handled
7
approximately 22 million shipments and traveled approximately 230 million
miles.
Although the Pony Express service mark traces its roots to the Pony Express
of Old West fame, the present courier operation began as a financial commodity
courier transporting cancelled checks and other non-negotiable financial
documents among financial institutions as a part of the armored transportation
unit. While shipments of non-negotiable financial documents are still a
substantial part of the unit's business, the courier services unit also
delivers small packages, particularly business-to-business shipments of parts,
extremely urgent mail, film, medical and pharmaceutical supplies and other
commodities. The primary focus of the courier service unit is same-day or
next-day service by ground transportation in intrastate and regional
interstate markets. In 1994, approximately 40 percent of the unit's net
service revenues were derived from business involving shipments with a transit
time of eight hours or less. The typical customer ships multiple, time-
critical, small shipments on a daily or weekly basis from one or more
locations to one or more other locations within a 500-mile radius. The Company
may design a customized distribution system initially for one or two large
customers and make available to smaller customers the excess capacity on such
system.
The courier services unit attempts to meet customer needs for secure
transportation through flexible and customized services. Shipments are picked
up and delivered by uniformed courier guards who are trained in security
measures. The unit has developed sophisticated information systems that
provide automated billing, computer-assisted routing and package tracking and
other programs that enhance customer service. The unit is expanding its use of
PonyTrak(TM), an electronic tracking system that uses a hand-held scanner to
record pickup and delivery times, dates and locations by reading package bar
codes. The Company offers services outside of normal business hours that
sometimes require couriers to unlock and enter customer premises and secure
premises when leaving.
The unit employs approximately 6,000 persons. The unit owns approximately
1,400 vehicles and leases the remainder from its employees. The Company
believes such lease arrangements provide a competitive advantage because such
employees tend to provide better customer service, drive more safely and have
a more vested interest in the success of the business.
The courier services unit operates both as a common and contract carrier
and uses a combination of tariffs and shipping contracts to control the
terms, conditions and rates applicable to the transportation of shipments.
Rates are dependent upon many factors, including the weight and type of the
shipped item, the distance and urgency of the shipment and the geographical
location.
8
COMPETITION
The guard services unit competes with major national firms, including
Pinkerton's Inc. and The Wackenhut Corporation, and numerous smaller regional
and local companies providing similar services. Competition in the security
guard industry is based on price in relation to the quality of service, the
scope of services performed, the extent and quality of guard supervision,
recruiting and training and name recognition.
The alarm services unit competes with major national firms, including ADT,
Inc., the Protection Securities Division of Honeywell, Inc. and The National
Guardian Corporation, and numerous smaller regional and local companies. ADT,
Inc., which provides primarily residential alarm services, is materially
larger than the Company's alarm services unit. Competition in the alarm
services industry is based on price in relation to the quality of service, the
scope of alarm installation and service, and the level of technological and
engineering sophistication.
The armored transport unit competes with major national firms, including
Brink's Incorporated (a subsidiary of The Pittston Company) and Loomis Armored
Inc., and numerous smaller regional and local companies. On a worldwide basis,
Brink's Incorporated is materially larger than the Company's armored
transportation unit. Competition in the armored transport industry is based
primarily on price in relation to quality of service, the scope of services
performed, quality of cargo insurance and name recognition.
The courier services unit competes with numerous regional and local courier
companies. Competition in the courier industry is based primarily on price in
relation to quality of service and size and configuration of distribution
routes. Because of low barriers to entry in some areas, smaller local
competitors with substantially lower overhead expenses are often able to
compete effectively with the Company for local shipments.
REGULATION
Due to the nature of the Company's business, its operations are subject to
a variety of federal, state, county and municipal laws, regulations and
licensing requirements. The Company believes that its operations are in
substantial compliance with those laws, regulations and requirements.
The Company's guard services operations are subject to a variety of city,
county and state firearm and occupational licensing laws. In addition, many
states have laws requiring training and registration of security officers,
regulating the use of badges, identification cards and uniforms and imposing
minimum bond surety and insurance requirements. Federal legislation has been
introduced relating to security officer qualification and training. Similar
legislation is pending in several states. The Company generally supports the
creation of standards for the industry and does not expect that the
9
establishment of such standards will have a material affect on its guard
services operations.
The Company's alarm services operations are subject to regulatory
requirements of federal, state and local authorities. In addition, this unit
relies upon the use of telephone lines to transmit signals, and the cost of
such lines and the type of equipment which may be used are currently regulated
by both federal and state governments. In some instances, the Company
contracts with the local government to permit it to link a customer's business
or home directly into the local police or fire department station for which it
may pay a fee to such local government. As a result of a high incidence of
false alarms in some communities, some local governments have imposed
assessments, fines and penalties on customers based on the number of false
alarms reported, or have restricted police response to systems producing
excessive false alarms.
The Company's armored transport and courier operations are subject to the
regulations of the Interstate Commerce Commission ("ICC") and various state
commerce commissions governing safety and insurance matters. Operations are
conducted both as a common carrier and as a contract carrier under
certificates and permits issued by the ICC. Such operations are also subject
to regulation by federal and state agencies with respect to safety of
employees, operations and equipment, vehicle emissions and underground fuel
storage tanks.
From time to time, in the ordinary course of business, the Company is
subjected to penalties or fines as the result of licensing irregularities or
the misconduct of one or more of its agents or employees. In addition, under
principles of common law, the Company can generally be held liable for acts or
omissions of its agents or employees performed in the course and scope of
their employment. In addition, some states have statutes that expressly impose
on the Company legal responsibility for the conduct of its employees.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The nature of the services provided by the Company potentially exposes it
to greater risks of liability for employee acts, injuries (including workers'
compensation claims) or omissions than may be posed by other service
businesses. See "--Regulation."
The Company often obtains customer indemnification or liability limitations
in its contracts to mitigate this risk exposure. In addition to self-insurance
reserves, the Company carries insurance of various types, including general
liability coverage. The Company obtains such insurance at rates and upon terms
negotiated periodically with various underwriters. The loss experience of the
Company and, to some extent, other protective services companies affects
premium rates charged to the Company. The Company generally maintains
insurance coverage for punitive damages, although the laws of many states
limit or prohibit insurance coverage for liability for punitive damages. The
Company does not believe that limitations on, or the uncertainty of, insurance
10
coverage for punitive damages in certain states in which it operates is likely
to be material, based upon the Company's prior experience with punitive
damages claims. The Company also attempts to manage its risk liability through
analysis of customer facilities and transportation routes and employee
screening, training, supervision and evaluation.
EMPLOYEES
The Company's business is labor intensive and, accordingly, is affected by
the availability of qualified personnel and the cost of labor. Although the
protective services industry is characterized generally by high turnover, the
Company believes its experience compares favorably with that of the industry.
The Company has not experienced any material difficulty in employing suitable
numbers of qualified security guards and other employees. The Company
considers its relations with its employees to be generally satisfactory.
The Company is a party to collective bargaining agreements with various
local unions covering approximately 8,836 employees. The collective bargaining
agreements expire at various dates from 1995 to 2000 and relate, among other
things, to wages, hours and conditions of employment. Under section 9(b)(3) of
the National Labor Relations Act, if a union admits to membership, or is
affiliated directly or indirectly with a union that admits to membership,
employees other than guards, an employer of guards can refuse to bargain with
such union and such union cannot be certified as the representative of a unit
of guards. As a result, the Company has in many instances refused to recognize
or withdrawn recognition of labor organizations that admit as members
employees other than guards.
The NLRB has certified various locals of the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and Helpers of America as the exclusive
collective bargaining representative of certain of its courier services
employees. The unit is engaged in contract negotiations with such
representative. During 1994 such representative called strikes at branches
located in 12 cities. As of the end of 1994, strikes have been abandoned at
all locations with striking employees returning to work.
TRADEMARKS AND PATENTS
The Wells Fargo(R), Pony Express(R) and Burns(R) service marks are
especially important to the Company's business. The Company believes that its
rights in these marks are adequately protected and of unlimited duration.
While the Company has patents it considers to be important to the overall
conduct of its business, it does not consider any particular patent, or group
of related patents, essential to its operations. The Company's 13 United
States patents, which generally relate to the Company's alarm services unit,
expire between 1997 and 2008, and the Company's 18 foreign patents, which
generally relate to the Company's alarm services unit, expire between 1995 and
2009. For both the United States and the foreign patents, their expiration,
individually, and in the aggregate,
11
is not expected to have any material effect on the Company's financial
condition or results of operations.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company and its subsidiaries maintain armored transport and courier
terminals, central alarm stations, plants and general offices in various
cities in the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada, the United Kingdom and
Colombia. At December 31, 1994, the guard services unit occupied approximately
319 branch and satellite offices, all but one of which were leased. At
December 31, 1994, the alarm services unit operated 12 central stations (10 of
which are on the same premises as branch offices), of which 6 were leased, 28
additional branch and 48 separate satellite offices, of which 20 branches and
all satellites were leased. At December 31, 1994, the armored services unit
occupied 125 facilities, of which 108 were leased, and 45 of which contained
vaults. At December 31, 1994, the courier services unit occupied approximately
109 branches and satellites, of which all but four were leased. The Company
leases approximately 100,000 square feet of office space in Chicago, Illinois
for its executive offices. The Company believes that its properties are in
good condition and are adequate to meet its current and reasonably anticipated
needs.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is presently, and is from time to time, subject to claims and
suits arising in the ordinary course of its business. In certain of such
actions, plaintiffs request punitive or other damages that may not be covered
by insurance. In addition, the Company has been subject to claims and suits
relating to certain discontinued operations. The most important of these
legal proceedings are discussed below. The Company believes that the various
asserted claims and litigation in which it is currently involved will not
materially affect its financial position or future operating results, although
no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome for any such
claim or litigation. The Company believes that it has established adequate
provisions for litigation liabilities in its financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These provisions
include both legal fees and possible outcomes of legal proceedings (including
the environmental matters discussed below).
Centaur Litigation
Centaur Insurance Company ("Centaur"), a discontinued property and casualty
insurance subsidiary, ceased writing insurance in 1984 and has been operating
under
13
rehabilitation since September 1987. Rehabilitation is a process supervised by
the Illinois Director of Insurance to attempt to compromise liabilities at an
aggregate level that is not in excess of Centaur's assets. In rehabilitation,
Centaur's assets are currently being used to satisfy claim liabilities under
direct insurance policies written by Centaur. Any remaining assets will be
applied to Centaur's obligations to other insurance companies under
reinsurance contracts. The foregoing has resulted in one pending lawsuit
against the Company for recovery of alleged damages from the failure of
Centaur to satisfy its reinsurance obligations. Certain former officers and
directors of the Company's current and former subsidiaries have been named as
defendants in such lawsuit and the Company has agreed to indemnify such
individuals. Centaur is not a defendant in this lawsuit against the Company.
Although the Illinois Director of Insurance has not made any claims against
the Company for any of Centaur's liabilities, the Illinois Director of
Insurance has requested, and the Company has agreed to, an extension of the
statute of limitations for any such claims.
As of December 31, 1993, Centaur's total liabilities were $135 million and
its deficit in net worth was $54.7 million, according to financial statements
submitted on behalf of the Illinois Director of Insurance. Such financial
statements were presented on a liquidating basis with assets carried at their
market value or estimated realizable value and liabilities carried at their
present value through the provision of a present value discount. Although
Centaur is a subsidiary of the Company, the Company does not operate Centaur
and has no responsibility for, nor does it participate in the preparation of,
such financial statements. Centaur's financial results, assets and liabilities
are not reflected in the Company's financial statements.
In June 1988, the Insurance Commissioner of the State of California as
trustee of Mission Insurance Trust and four other affiliated insurance
companies filed a complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California,
County of Los Angeles, against the Company and certain of its current and
former subsidiaries alleging damages resulting from the failure of Centaur to
satisfy its reinsurance obligations. This lawsuit alleges damages to
plaintiff, as Trustee of Mission Insurance Company, Mission National Insurance
Company, Enterprise Insurance Company, Holland-America Insurance Company and
Mission Reinsurance Corporation, based on (i) conduct justifying piercing the
corporate veil, (ii) fraud and (iii) negligent misrepresentation. Plaintiff
seeks judgment in the amount of the insurance companies' current losses, which
allegedly total approximately $14.2 million, plus a declaratory order that the
Company pay future losses alleged to exceed $66 million. The complaint was
amended in 1989 to add 11 former officers and directors of the Company's
current and former subsidiaries as defendants and to allege additional causes
of action based on (i) breach of fiduciary duty and imposition of personal
liability, (ii) fraudulent conveyance, (iii) constructive trust and (iv)
conspiracy and additional current losses totalling more than $9.8 million and
to add a claim for punitive damages in the amount of $270 million.
In 1989, the Company filed a motion to dismiss or stay the action, pending
resolution
14
of Centaur's rehabilitation in Illinois. The court declined to dismiss the
action, but entered an order staying the action until the rehabilitation
proceeding is resolved, except that the parties may pursue discovery to
preserve evidence. In 1992, the Centaur rehabilitator filed a motion to
intervene and dismiss the complaint on the grounds that the plaintiff lacked
standing and that its claims were not ripe for adjudication. The motion is
pending. In 1993, six of the 11 individual defendants were dismissed from the
lawsuit. In September 1994, the court effectively lifted its stay. Active
discovery is now being pursued. The Company intends to defend this lawsuit
vigorously.
The Company believes that any damages for failure to satisfy reinsurance
obligations are solely the responsibility of Centaur and that the resolution
of the lawsuit relating to Centaur, including the Company's indemnification
obligations to former officers and directors, will not have a material adverse
effect on its financial position or future operating results; however, no
assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome with respect to such
lawsuit.
Environmental Proceedings
The Company and certain of its current and former subsidiaries have been
identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and certain state
environmental agencies as potentially responsible parties ("PRPs") at a
number of hazardous waste disposal sites under the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("Superfund") and equivalent state
laws and, as such, may be liable for the cost of cleanup and other remedial
activities at these sites. Responsibility for cleanup and other remedial
activities at a Superfund site is typically shared among PRPs based on an
allocation formula. The Company believes that none of these matters
individually or in the aggregate will have a material adverse affect on its
financial position or future operating results, generally either because the
maximum potential liability at a site is not large or because liability will
be shared with other PRPs, although no assurance can be given with respect to
the ultimate outcome of any such liability. Based on its estimate of
allocations of liability among PRPs, the probability that other PRPs, many of
whom are large, solvent public companies, will fully pay the costs allocated
to them, currently available information concerning the scope of contamination
at such sites, estimated remediation costs at such sites, estimated legal fees
and other factors, the Company has made provisions for indicated environmental
liabilities in its financial statements in the aggregate amount of
approximately $12 million (relating to environmental matters with respect to
discontinued operations of the Company). The Company believes that such
provisions for indicated environmental liabilities have been established on a
basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. If any
environmental liability claim relating to the Company's former chemical and
plastics business is made, the Company is indemnified by the purchaser of such
business, General Electric Company. Since the disposition, the Company has
notified General Electric Company of various claims made with respect to the
Company's former chemical and plastics business and General Electric Company
has assumed all of such claims and has not contested its indemnification
obligations. There
15
is no dollar limitation on the General Electric Company's indemnification
obligations and there are no other material limitations or exclusions with
respect thereto. If any environmental liability claim relating to the
operations of Borg-Warner Automotive, Inc. ("BW-Automotive") is made, the
Company will be indemnified by BW-Automotive. There is no dollar limitation
on BW-Automotive's indemnification obligations and there are no other material
limitations or exclusions with respect thereto.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
There were no matters submitted to the security holders of the Company
during the fourth quarter of 1994.
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER
MATTERS.
On January 20, 1993, the Company's Common Stock was listed for trading on
the New York Stock Exchange. Prior to that date, there was no established
public trading market for shares of Common Stock. As of March 14, 1995, there
were approximately 180 holders of record of Common Stock.
The Company has neither paid nor declared any cash dividends on its Common
Stock during the last two years. The payment of dividends by the Company is
subject to certain restrictions under the terms of the Company's indebtedness.
Under the terms of its credit facility, the Company will be permitted to pay
cash dividends with respect to its Common Stock beginning in 1995, subject to
certain limitations and restrictions, including that no event of default under
such facility has occurred and is continuing; that after giving effect to such
dividend the Company meets certain debt and interest coverage ratios; and that
the aggregate amount of dividends be limited to the lesser of (a) 50% of the
Company's consolidated excess cash flow (as defined in the facility) for the
immediately preceding year or (b) $5 million in 1995, $10 million in 1996, $15
million in 1997, $20 million in 1998 and $25 million in 1999.
The Company currently intends to retain earnings for acquisitions, working
capital, capital expenditures, general corporate purposes and reduction of
outstanding indebtedness. Accordingly, the Company does not expect to be able
to nor does it expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

among the Beneficiaries and shall include the full name and post office address

Any designation pursuant to this Section 3.04 may be changed or revoked by
the Participant at any time and from time to time by similar instrument in

Plan of the Company.
-------------------
(a) If a participant in a tax-qualified defined-benefit pension plan to
which the Company contributes becomes a Participant eligible to
receive a Company Retirement Contribution pursuant to Section 4.01,
then such Participant shall not accrue any benefit under such tax-
qualified defined-benefit pension plan for service with respect to
which he is eligible to receive a Company Retirement Contribution.
(b) If a Participant ceases to be eligible to receive a Company Retirement
Contribution pursuant to Section 4.01 and participates in any tax
qualified defined-benefit pension plan, the provisions of which would
grant the Participant credit for service for the period during which
he was eligible to receive a Company Retirement Contribution, the
Participant may upon retirement elect under the tax-qualified defined-
benefit pension plan to (i) receive his vested accrued benefit under
the terms of the tax-qualified defined-benefit pension plan and
forfeit the Vested Portion of his Company Retirement Account or (ii)
receive his vested accrued benefit under the tax-qualified defined-
benefit pension plan, reduced by the actuarially equivalent benefit
amount of the Vested Portion of the balance in his Company Retirement
Account (as determined by an actuary selected by the Plan

under a tax-qualified defined-benefit pension plan maintained by the
Company to the Plan pursuant to Section 7.01 and subsequently ceases

meet either of the following tests for any Plan Year:
(a) The Actual Deferral Percentage of Eligible Employees who are Highly
Compensated Employees is not more than 1.25 times the Actual Deferral
Percentage of all other Eligible Employees; or
(b) The excess of the Actual Deferral Percentage of Eligible Employees who

of all other Eligible Employees is not more than two percentage points
and the Actual Deferral Percentage of Eligible Employees who are
Highly Compensated Employees is not more than two times the Actual
Deferral Percentage of all other Eligible Employees.
If neither test (a) or (b) is satisfied for the Plan Year, the Actual
Deferral Percentage of the Highly Compensated Employee(s) with the highest
Actual Deferral Percentage must be reduced to the next highest Actual Deferral
Percentage of any Highly Compensated Employee(s) or, if it would involve less of
a reduction, to the highest Actual Deferral Percentage which allows the Plan to
satisfy test (a) or (b). This reduction must be repeated as many times (for
Highly Compensated Employees with successively lower Actual Deferral
Percentages) as necessary to satisfy test (a) or (b).
Once the permitted Actual Deferral Percentages of Highly Compensated
Employees are determined under the preceding paragraph, the Employee Benefits
Committee shall stop or decrease future Before-Tax Contributions by Highly
Compensated Employees for the rest of the Plan Year, or it may, instead of or in
addition thereto, take the following steps with respect to Before-Tax
Contributions or Company Matching Contributions made for a Highly Compensated
Employee:
(x) First, Before-Tax Contributions to the Participant's Savings Account
and earnings on those contributions shall be returned to him;
(y) Second, Before-Tax Contributions to the Participant's Employee

uniform basis under Reg. (S)1.401(k)-1(f)(4). All returns of contributions and
earnings (including gap earnings) under (x) or (y) shall be made within 2-1/2
months after the end of the Plan Year.
ARTICLE 6. LIMITATIONS ON CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PLAN
--------- ----------------------------------------
Section 6.01 Limitation on Amount of Company Retirement Contributions and
Company Matching Contributions. Company Retirement Contributions and Company
Matching Contributions made by any party to the Plan which, along with the
Company, is a member of an affiliated group within the meaning of Code Section
1504 (for purposes of this Section 6.01, a "Member") shall be made only on
behalf of Participants who are Eligible Employees of the contributing Member,
and Company Retirement Contributions and Company Matching Contributions shall be
made only from current or accumulated earnings or profits of such Member.
If any Member is prevented from making a contribution which it otherwise
would have made by reason of having no current or accumulated earnings or
profits, or because such earnings or profits are less than the contribution
which it otherwise would have made, then so much of the contribution which such
Member was so prevented from making may be made for the benefit of the
Participants who are Eligible Employees of such Member by any of the other
Members to the extent of each such other Member's current or accumulated
earnings or profits. If the Members do not file a consolidated federal income
tax return, such contribution by each such other Member shall be limited to that
portion of its total current and accumulated earnings or profits remaining after
adjustment for its contributions on behalf of Participants who are its own
Eligible Employees which the total prevented contribution bears to the total
current and accumulated earnings or profits of all such other Members remaining
after adjustment for all contributions on behalf of Participants who are their
own Eligible Employees.
The Corporation may waive the earnings and profits limitation under this
Section 6.01 for any Plan Year. The amount of contributions made by any Member
for a Plan Year shall not exceed the amount deemed to be deductible in computing
the taxable income of such Member (taking into account all contributions under
all of such Member's tax-qualified plans and all privileges and limitations of
carryovers and carryforwards and established by law) for the purpose of
computing taxes on or measured by income under the provisions of the Code and/or
any other laws in effect from time to time.
A contribution which was made by a Member upon a mistake of fact, or
conditioned upon initial qualification of the Plan or upon the deductibility of
the contribution under Section 404 of the Code (all contributions to this Plan
shall be made conditioned on the deductibility of such contributions) shall,
upon a contributing Member's request, be returned
-17-
to such Member within one year after the payment of the mistaken contribution,
the denial of qualification or the disallowance of the deduction (to the extent
disallowed), which is applicable.
Section 6.02 Maximum Annual Additions to RSP Account. Notwithstanding any
other provision of the Plan, the "total additions" to a Participant's RSP
Account for any Limitation Year shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser
of:
(a) $30,000 adjusted for each Limitation Year to take into account any
cost-of-living increase provided for that Limitation Year under
Section 415(d) of the Code; or
(b) Twenty-five percent (25%) of the Compensation paid to the Participant
by the Company in the Limitation Year.
For purposes of this Section 6.02 and Section 6.03, the term "total additions"
shall mean, with respect to each Participant for each Limitation Year, the
aggregate of the Company Retirement Contributions, Company Matching
Contributions, Before-Tax Contributions and After-Tax Contributions allocated to
his RSP Account.
If any Participant's total additions exceed the applicable maximum
limitation set forth above, contributions shall be returned to the Participant
or the contributing Company to the extent necessary and in the following
priority:
(v) First, After-Tax Contributions to the Participant's Savings Account
and earnings on those contributions shall be returned to him;
(w) Second, Before-Tax Contributions to the Participant's Savings Account
shall be placed in a suspense account and reallocated to the
Participant's Savings Account in the following year and any earnings
on these Before-Tax Contributions shall be forfeited;
(x) Third, Before-Tax Contributions to the Participant's Employee
Retirement Account shall be placed in a suspense account and
reallocated to the Participant's Employee Retirement Account in the
following year and any earnings on these Before-Tax Contributions
shall be forfeited;
(y) Fourth, Company Matching Contributions to the Participant's Employee
Retirement Account shall be forfeited; and
(z) Fifth, Company Retirement Contributions to the Participant's Company
Retirement Account shall be forfeited.
-18-
Section 6.03 Participation in More Than One Plan of Company. In the event
that the total additions which otherwise would be credited to a Participant's
account under all tax-qualified defined-contribution plans of the Company for
any Limitation Year exceed the limitations set forth in Section 6.02, the excess
total additions shall be returned to the Participant or the contributing Company
to the extent necessary and in the priority established under subsections
6.02(v), (w), (x), (y) and (z).
In the event a Participant is also a participant in one or more tax-
qualified defined-benefit pension plans of the Company, the sum of such
Participant's defined-benefit plan fraction and defined-contribution plan
fraction, as determined pursuant to Section 415(e) of the Code for any
Limitation Year, shall not exceed 1.0. If the sum of a Participant's defined-
contribution plan and defined-benefit plan fractions otherwise would exceed 1.0
for any Limitation Year, then the total additions which otherwise would be
credited to his accounts under all applicable defined-contribution plans shall
be adjusted pursuant to Section 6.02 and this Section 6.03 to the extent
necessary so that the sum of such fractions does not exceed 1.0. If, after all
such adjustments, the sum of a Participant's defined-contribution plan and
defined-benefit plan fractions would still exceed 1.0, then the benefit which
otherwise would be accrued with respect to such Participant under any applicable
tax-qualified defined-benefit pension plan shall be considered not to have been
accrued and will be limited to the extent necessary so that the sum does not
exceed 1.0.
Section 6.04 Limitation on Amount of Company Matching Contributions and
After-Tax Contributions. For each Plan Year, the Employee Benefits Committee
shall determine whether Company Matching Contributions and After-Tax
Contributions for that Plan Year meet either of the following tests:
(a) The Actual Contribution Percentage of Eligible Employees who are
Highly Compensated Employees is not more than 1.25 times the Actual
Contribution Percentage of all other Eligible Employees; or
(b) The excess of the Actual Contribution Percentage of Eligible Employees
who are Highly Compensated Employees over the Actual Contribution
Percentage of all other Eligible Employees is not more than two
percentage points and the Actual Contribution Percentage of Eligible
Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees is not more than two
times the Actual Contribution Percentage of all other Eligible
Employees.
If neither test (a) or (b) is satisfied for the Plan Year, the Actual
Contribution Percentage of the Highly Compensated Employee(s) with the highest
Actual Contribution Percentage must be reduced to the next highest Actual
Contribution Percentage of any Highly Compensated Employee(s) or, if it would
involve less of a reduction, to the highest Actual Contribution Percentage which
allows the Plan to satisfy test (a) or (b). This reduction must
-19-
be repeated as many times (for Highly Compensated Employees with successively
lower Actual Contribution Percentages) as necessary to satisfy test (a) or (b).
Once the permitted Actual Contribution Percentages of Highly Compensated
Employees are determined under the preceding paragraph, the Employee Benefits
Committee shall stop or decrease future After-Tax Contributions by Highly
Compensated Employees for the rest of the Plan Year, or it may, instead of or in
addition thereto, return to the Highly Compensated Employee his After-Tax
Contributions to his Savings Account and earnings on those contributions, and
forfeit his Company Matching Contributions to the extent necessary to satisfy
either test (a) or (b).
The earnings to be returned shall be calculated on a uniform basis under
Reg. (S)1.401(m)-1(e)(3). All returns of contributions and earnings (including
gap earnings) shall be made within 2-1/2 months after the end of the Plan Year.
Section 6.05 Limit on Multiple Use of Alternate Limitations. If, for any
Plan Year, the Employee Benefits Committee relies on Sections 5.10(b) and
6.04(b) to pass the relevant limitations in those Sections, the "Relevant
Percentage" must be calculated with respect to Highly Compensated Employees.
For any Plan Year, the Relevant Percentage is the greater of (a) or (b),
calculated as follows:
(a) 1.25 times the greater of the Actual Contribution Percentage or Actual
Deferral Percentage for all Eligible Employees who are not Highly
Compensated Employees, plus the lesser of the Actual Contribution
Percentage or Actual Deferral Percentage for Eligible Employees either
increased by 2% or doubled, whichever is less;
(b) 1.25 times the lesser of the Actual Contribution Percentage or Actual
Deferral Percentage for all Eligible Employees who are not Highly
Compensated Employees, plus the greater of the Actual Contribution
Percentage or Actual Deferral Percentage for Eligible Employees who
are not Highly Compensated Employees either increased by 2% or
doubled, whichever is less.
If the sum of the Actual Contribution Percentage and Actual Deferral
Percentage for all Eligible Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees
exceeds the Relevant Percentage, the Employee Benefits Committee may make
reductions in After-Tax Contributions as described in Section 6.04, Before-Tax
Contributions as described in Section 5.10 or Company Matching Contributions as
described in Section 6.04 until the sum of the Actual Contribution Percentage
and Actual Deferral Percentage for Eligible Employees who are Highly Compensated
Employees no longer exceeds the Relevant Percentage. The
-20-
reductions described in the previous sentence may be made either for all Highly
Compensated Employees or only for all Highly Compensated Employees who make both
Before-Tax Contributions and After-Tax Contributions.
ARTICLE 7. TRANSFER OF AMOUNTS TO/FROM OTHER QUALIFIED PLANS
--------- -------------------------------------------------
Section 7.01 Receipt of Portable Accounts. The RSP Committee may approve
the transfer to the Plan of all or a portion of the assets and liabilities of
any other plan of deferred compensation qualified under Section 401(a) of the
Code; provided, however, that the RSP Committee shall not accept a transfer of
any amount which would cause the Plan to be deemed a "transferee plan" within
the meaning of Section 401(a)(11)(B)(iii) of the Code. Transfers to the Plan
pursuant to this Section 7.01 shall be in the form of a direct trustee-to-
Trustee transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the RSP Committee shall not
accept a transfer of any after-tax contributions. The amounts transferred
pursuant to this Section 7.01 from any tax-qualified defined-benefit pension
plan maintained by the Company shall be credited to the Participant's Company
Retirement Account. In all other cases, any amounts transferred pursuant to
this Section 7.01 shall be credited to the Participant's Savings Account. The
interest of each Participant in that portion of his Company Retirement Account
attributable to amounts transferred pursuant to this Section 7.01, if any, shall
be fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times. In no event shall the Trustee
receive accounts if such receipt or the subsequent administration of such
accounts might subject the Trust assets to tax liability deriving from an
Employee's terminated participation in any other tax-qualified plan.
ARTICLE 8. RSP ACCOUNTS
--------- ------------
Section 8.01 Establishment of RSP Accounts and Statement of Account
Balances. The Trustee shall establish and maintain for each Participant an RSP

Retirement Account and a Savings Account, if applicable. Each RSP Account shall
be invested as provided in Article 9. The Plan Administrator shall provide each
Participant with a statement of the balance in his Company Retirement Account,
Employee Retirement Account and Savings Account not less frequently than once

ARTICLE 9. INVESTMENT FUNDS
--------- ----------------
Section 9.01 Establishment of Funds. The Employee Benefits Committee
shall cause the Trustee to establish the following Investment Funds effective as
of April 1, 1994 and such Funds as the Employee Benefits Committee shall
determine in its discretion from time to time. The Employee Benefit's Committee
may in its discretion discontinue the availability of any of the Investment
Funds established under the Plan from time to time.
(a) Investment Contracts Fund
-------------------------
The Investment Contracts Fund (the "IC Fund") seeks to preserve
capital and provide income through investments in investment contracts
with either highly rated insurance companies, major banks or a fund or
funds that invest in investment contracts of insurance companies or
major banks. The IC Fund also invests in short-term investments which
provide liquidity for meeting regular benefit payments, transfers and
other payments. The investment contracts provide that the insurance
company or bank will pay the IC Fund the amount invested plus interest
for a specified period of time.
(b) Putnam U.S. Government Income Trust
-----------------------------------
The Putnam U.S. Government Income Trust seeks a high level of current
income consistent with capital preservation by investing exclusively
in securities backed by the full faith and credit of the United States
government and in repurchase agreements and forward commitments with
respect to such securities.
(c) The George Putnam Fund of Boston
--------------------------------
The George Putnam Fund of Boston seeks to provide a balanced
investment composed of a well-diversified portfolio of stocks and
bonds. It is designed to produce both capital growth and current
income.
(d) The Putnam S&P 500 Index Fund
-----------------------------
The Putnam S&P 500 Index Fund is a collective investment trust that
will invest primarily in publicly traded common stocks either directly
or through collective investment trusts having a similar investment
objective. In addition, for liquidity and hedging purposes, a small
portion of the fund's assets will be invested in high-quality money
market instruments and financial futures contracts. This fund seeks
to mirror the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.
-22-
(e) Putnam Voyager Fund
-------------------
The Putnam Voyager Fund seeks capital appreciation, primarily from a
portfolio of common stocks. The fund generally invests a significant
portion of its assets in the securities of smaller and newer issuers.
The fund may use "leverage" -- that is, it may borrow money to
purchase additional portfolio securities. The fund may also trade
securities for short-term profits.
Section 9.02 Investment in Funds. Each of the Investment Funds shall be
invested without distinction between principal and income within the investment
directive for that Fund. Pending payment of costs, expenses or anticipated
benefits, or acquisition of investments, the Trustee may hold any portion of the
Investment Funds in obligations issued or fully guaranteed as to payment of
principal or interest by the Federal government or governmental agencies, short-
term demand notes, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, collective trust
funds that invest in short-term investments or any other interest-paying short-
term investment product or in cash, and may deposit any uninvested funds with
any bank selected by the Trustee.
Section 9.03 Investment of RSP Accounts. Each Participant shall have the
right to file an initial written election with the Local Plan Administrator
directing that Company Retirement Contributions, Company Matching Contributions,
Before-Tax Contributions and After-Tax Contributions to his Company Retirement
Account, Employee Retirement Account and Savings Account be invested in
specified multiples of five percent (5%) up to one hundred percent (100%)
thereof, in any one or more of the Investment Funds. A Participant's initial
investment election shall be made by submitting the required form to the Local
Plan Administrator. In the absence of an effective election, one hundred
percent (100%) of the Company Retirement Contributions in a Participant's
Company Retirement Account shall be invested in The George Putnam Fund of
Boston.
Section 9.04 Transfer of RSP Accounts From the Former Investment Funds
(Stock Fund, Bond Fund, Spectrum Fund and Investment Contracts Fund) to the
Investment Funds Pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Plan. Each Participant who had
a balance in their Company Retirement Account, Employee Retirement Account
and/or Savings Account as of March 31, 1994 shall have the right to file a
written election with the Local Plan Administrator directing the value of his
Company Retirement Account, Employee Retirement Account and Savings Account be
invested in any one or more of the Investment Funds established under Section
9.01. Such election shall be effective and such assets shall be transferred
from the former investment funds (the Stock Fund, Bond Fund, Spectrum Fund and
Investment Contracts Fund) to the Investment Funds under Section 9.01 following
the final accounting of the records by the Administrative Services Provider.
If the Participant does not make a written election, the assets in his
Company Retirement Account, Employee Retirement Account and Savings Account that
were invested
-23-
in the Investment Contracts Fund prior to the date of transfer shall be
transferred to the IC Fund, the amount in the Bond Fund shall be invested in the
Putnam U.S. Government Income Trust, the amount in the Spectrum Fund shall be
invested in The George Putnam Fund of Boston, and the amount in the Stock Fund
shall be invested 50% in the Putnam S&P 500 Index Fund and 50% in the Putnam
Voyager Fund.
Section 9.05 Change in Participant's Investment Election of Future
Contributions. Each Participant may elect to change the investment of future
Company Retirement Contributions, Employee Retirement Contributions, Before-Tax
Contributions, and After-Tax Contributions to his Company Retirement Account,
Employee Retirement Account and Savings Account in any multiple of five percent
(5%) of such contributions up to one hundred percent (100%) thereof by
contacting the Administrative Services Provider.
After the Participant's request to change has been processed, future
Company Retirement Contributions, Employee Retirement Contributions, Before-Tax
Contributions, and After-Tax Contributions made to the Participant's Company
Retirement Account, Employee Retirement Account and Savings Account will be
invested, according to the Participant's investment election.
Section 9.06 Change in Participant's Investment Election on the Balance of
the Participant's Account. Each Participant may elect to change the investment
(transfer from one Investment Fund to another) of the balance of the Company
Retirement Contributions, Company Matching Contributions, Before-Tax
Contributions and After-Tax Contributions made to his Company Retirement
Account, Employee Retirement Account and Savings Account in any multiple of five
percent (5%) of such contributions up to one hundred percent (100%) thereof by
contacting the Administrative Services Provider.
A Participant can make transfers among the Investment Funds (move a
percentage of money from one Investment Fund to another) as of the close of
business on any business day, if the request is received by the Administrative
Services Provider by 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. If any request for a transfer is
received after 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, it will be treated as being received the
next business day.
Section 9.07 Limitation of Liability of Fiduciaries. The Fiduciaries
shall not be responsible for any loss, depreciation or diminution in value of
Trust assets invested in accordance with the direction of a Participant. The
Plan is intended to constitute a plan described in Section 404(c) of ERISA, and
Department of Labor Regulation 2550.404(c)-1.
To the extent of such compliance, the Fiduciaries of the Plan may be
relieved of liability with respect to the Participant-directed investments. The
RSP Committee is the Fiduciary responsible for overseeing investments under the
Plan, but has delegated the daily administrative responsibility for implementing
Participant investment instructions to the
-24-
Administrative Services Provider. Also, the Administrative Services Provider is
responsible for providing the following detailed information about the
Investment Funds when requested by a Participant:
- copies of any prospectuses and/or brochures for any Investment Fund;
- copies of any other financial statements and reports provided to the
Pan about an Investment Fund;
- a description of the annual operating expenses of any Investment Fund
and the aggregate annual expenses expressed as a percentage of average
net assets;
- information about the past and current value of shares or units
available in the Investment Funds; and
- the current share or unit value of a Participant's RSP Account.
The RSP Committee has established procedures to protect the confidentiality
of information relating to Participant investments in all the Investment Funds.
Information about any Participant exercise of voting, tender and similar rights
is also subject to these confidentiality procedures. Investment information and
voting instructions from Participants shall not be divulged to anyone, including
the Company or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company. The
intent is to insure that the Company (and its directors, officers, employees,
agents) cannot determine the instructions given by any Participant. The RSP
Committee is the Fiduciary responsible for insuring that these confidentiality
procedures are followed.
ARTICLE 10. VALUATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS OF ACCOUNTS
---------- --------------------------------------
Section 10.01 Method of Valuation of RSP Accounts. Notwithstanding any
other provision of the Plan, to the extent that Participants' RSP Accounts are
invested in mutual funds or other assets for which daily pricing is available,
all amounts contributed to the Trust will be invested at the time of their
actual receipt by the Administrative Services Provider and the balance of each
Participant's RSP Account shall reflect the results of such daily pricing from
the time of the actual receipt until the time of distribution. References
elsewhere in the Plan to the investment of contributions "as of" a date other
than that described in this Section 10.01 shall apply only to the extent, if
any, that assets of the Trust are not invested in an asset for which daily
pricing is available.
Section 10.02 Forfeitures. As of the last Valuation Date of each month,
Forfeitures that arose during such month shall be applied to reduce the total
amount the Company
-25-
otherwise is required to contribute pursuant to Sections 4.01 and 4.02 as of the
Valuation Date or subsequent Valuation Date. Any amount applied to reduce a
Company contribution for any Valuation Date in accordance with this Section
10.02 shall be considered a part of the Company's contribution for such Payroll
Period.
Section 10.03 Date of Adjustments. Every adjustment made pursuant to
Section 10.01 and 10.02 shall be considered as having been made on the
applicable Valuation Date. The Employee Benefits Committee's determination of
the net value of the assets of the Trust (which shall be based upon accountings
rendered by the Trustee) and charges or credits to the RSP Accounts shall be
conclusive and binding on all parties having or claiming to have any interest
hereunder.

if any, the balance in his Employee Retirement Account attributable to Before-
Tax Contributions pursuant to Section 5.01 and the entire balance in his Savings

Commencement Date and his Years of Vested Service prior to that period
of severance shall be reinstated.

ARTICLE 12. DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS
---------- ------------------------
Section 12.01 Request for Distribution. A Participant entitled to a
benefit under the Plan may request that his benefit be distributed to him under
one or more of the alternative methods of distribution described in Section
12.02. In the event a Participant dies prior to the commencement of benefits
under the Plan, or after the commencement of benefits but before distribution of
his entire interest under the Plan, the Participant's remaining interest shall
be distributed in such manner as the Participant has elected in writing prior to
his death, or in the absence of such an election, under one or more of the
alternative methods of distribution described in Section 12.02, as the
Beneficiary shall direct. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
-28-
benefit payable to a Beneficiary of a Beneficiary pursuant to Section 3.04 shall
be distributed in a lump-sum payment.
Section 12.02 Methods of Distribution. Subject to the provisions of
Section 12.01, upon the termination of employment of a Participant for any
reason, distribution shall be made by one of the following methods, or
combination thereof, as the Participant or Beneficiary shall elect on a properly
completed final distribution form submitted to the Plan Administrator or to such
other person designated by the Plan Administrator, except that if the Vested
Portion in the Participant's RSP Account does not exceed $3,500, the Plan
Administrator shall require that distribution be made in one lump-sum payment
without the consent of the Participant or Beneficiary:
(a) Lump-Sum Distribution. Distribution may be made by lump-sum payment;
(b) Installment Distribution. Distribution may be made in approximately
equal installments not less frequently than annually for any definite
period which does not exceed (i) the life or life expectancy of the
Participant or (ii) the joint lives or joint life expectancy of the
Participant and his Beneficiary, whether or not the Beneficiary is his
spouse. The present value of benefits payable to the Participant
during his lifetime shall be more than fifty percent (50%) of the
present value of the total benefits payable to the Participant and his
Beneficiary, determined as of the termination of employment. Subject
to the provisions of Section 12.06, when a Participant's RSP Account
is distributable in periodic installments, it shall not thereafter be
eligible for any Company contributions pursuant to Sections 4.01 and
4.02. In the event distribution of a benefit is made, in whole or in
part, in installments pursuant to this subsection 12.02(b), the
distributee may elect in writing, on a form provided by the Plan
Administrator or by such other person designated by the Plan
Administrator, to accelerate the payment of all or any portion of any
unpaid installments; provided, however, that the distributee may not
make more than two elections to accelerate the payment of any unpaid
installments in any calendar year. The life expectancy used in this
subsection 12.02(b) shall be determined as of the Valuation Date
immediately preceding the later of the Participant's (i) retirement,
or receipt of benefit, or (ii) death, but in no event later than the
required minimum distribution date pursuant to Section 401(a)(9) of
the Code.
(c) Death Before Commencement of Benefits. If a Participant dies before
distribution pursuant to this Section 12.02 has begun, the entire
interest of the Participant's RSP Account shall be distributed within
five years after his death, with the following exceptions:
-29-
(1) If the Participant's Beneficiary is not his surviving spouse, the
entire interest of the Participant may be distributed to the
Beneficiary over a period not exceeding the Beneficiary's life or
life expectancy, provided such payments begin within one year
after the Participant's death.
(2) If the Beneficiary is the surviving spouse, distribution to the
surviving spouse shall begin no later than the later of the date
on which the Participant would have attained age 70-1/2 or the
first anniversary of the Participant's death, and shall be made
over a period not exceeding the life or life expectancy of the
surviving spouse.
(3) If the surviving spouse dies before payments begin, the surviving
spouse shall be treated for the purpose of the rules in this
subsection 12.02(c) as the Participant. If the surviving spouse
dies after payments begin but before the entire interest is
distributed, the entire remaining interest shall be distributed
to the surviving spouse's Beneficiary over a period not exceeding
the surviving spouse's Beneficiary's life or life expectancy,
provided such payments begin within one year after the surviving
spouse's death.
(4) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection
12.02(c), the Beneficiary may elect in writing, on a form
provided by the Plan Administrator or such other person
designated by the Plan Administrator, to accelerate the
distribution of all or any portion of the benefits payable to
him; provided, however, that the Beneficiary may not make more
than two elections to accelerate the distribution of benefits in
any calendar year.
(d) Death After Commencement of Installment Payments. If a Participant
dies after distribution pursuant to subsection 12.02(b) has begun but
before his entire interest is distributed and such distribution is to
be for a period certain not exceeding the life or life expectancy of
the Participant or the joint lives or joint life expectancy of the
Participant and his Beneficiary, the remaining portion shall continue
to be distributed according to that schedule. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, the Beneficiary may elect in writing, on a form
provided by the Plan Administrator or such other person designated by
the Plan Administrator, to accelerate the payment of all or any
portion of any unpaid installments; provided, however, that the
Beneficiary may not make more than two elections to accelerate the
payment of any unpaid installments in any calendar year.
-30-
(e) Distribution to Trust for Primary Benefit of a Spouse. In addition to
the requirements under subsections 12.02(c) and (d), if the
Participant's Beneficiary is a trust which qualifies for the Federal
estate tax marital deduction because it is held for the primary
benefit of the Participant's spouse, and if the trustee of that trust
elects to receive distributions from the Plan in installments, then
installment payments for each calendar year commencing upon the death
of the Participant shall be equal to or exceed the greater of (i) the
minimum amount necessary to satisfy the requirements under Section
401(a)(9) of the Code or (ii) the income earned by the Participant's
RSP Account.
If a Participant elects to begin distribution of his RSP Account prior to
his Normal Retirement Date pursuant to this Section 12.02, such election will be
deemed to be consent for purposes of Section 411(a)(11) of the Code.
Section 12.03 Treatment of RSP Account in Installment Distribution. In the
event distribution of a benefit is to be made in periodic installments pursuant
to subsection 12.02(b), (c), (d) or (e), each installment payment shall be
charged to each Investment Fund in the same ratio as the balance in the
Participant's RSP Account invested in that Fund bears to the total balance in
the Participant's RSP Account. The Participant (or Beneficiary, if applicable)
shall continue to have the right to change the investment of the balance in his
Company Retirement Account, Employee Retirement Account and Savings Account
among the Investment Funds pursuant to Section 9.06. The Participant's RSP
Account shall share in all adjustments pursuant to Article 10 until the entire
balance in the Participant's RSP Account is distributed.
Section 12.04 Commencement of Distribution. Subject to the provisions of
Section 12.02:
(a) After a Participant's termination of employment, distributions shall
commence as of any Valuation Date coincident with or next following
the date on which the request is received by the Plan Administrator or
such other person designated by the Plan Administrator, or as soon as
practicable thereafter.
(b) A Participant who has attained age 65 and continues to be employed by
the Company may request that all or any part of the Vested Portion in
his RSP Account be distributed to him in a lump-sum payment as of any
Valuation Date coincident with or next following the date on which
such request is received by the Plan Administrator or as soon as
practicable thereafter. Such Participant shall continue to be an
Eligible Employee for all purposes of the Plan.
Section 12.05 Deferral of Distribution. If the Participant's termination
of employment occurs prior to the date on which he attains age 70-1/2 and the
Vested Portion in his RSP Account is in excess of $3,500, the Participant, by
written notice to the Plan Administrator,
-31-
may defer commencement of distributions, but in no event may the Participant
defer distribution beyond the April 1 of the calendar year following the
calendar year in which he attains age 70-1/2. If a Participant defers
distribution pursuant to this Section 12.05, distributions to him shall commence
as of the Valuation Date following the date to which distribution is deferred or
as soon as practicable thereafter; provided, however, that the Participant shall
request such distribution from the Plan Administrator or from such other person
designated by the Plan Administrator. Any Participant who has deferred receipt
of benefits under the Plan may elect in writing, on a form provided by the Plan
Administrator, or from such other person designated by the Plan Administrator to
accelerate the distribution of all or any portion of the vested balance in his
RSP Account; provided, however, that the Participant may not make more than two
elections to accelerate the distribution of benefits in any calendar year.
Section 12.06 Notice. If a Participant's benefit does not exceed $3,500
and if a distribution of such Participant's benefit is one to which Sections
401(a)(11) and 417 of the Internal Revenue Code do not apply, such distribution
may commence less than 30 days after the notice required under Section 1.411(a)-
11(c) of the Income Tax Regulations is given provided that:
(a) the Plan Administrator clearly informs the Participant that the
Participant has a right to a period of at least 30 days after
receiving the notice to consider the decision of whether or not to
elect a distribution (and, if applicable, a particular distribution
option), and
(b) the Participant, after receiving the notice, affirmatively elects a
distribution.
Section 12.07 Distribution Upon Attainment of Age 70-1/2. Distributions
to any Participant whose employment with the Company continues after he has
attained age 70-1/2 shall commence no later than the April 1 of the calendar
year following the calendar year in which he attains age 70-1/2 (or such later
date as may be permitted by law). Any distributions which are made pursuant to
this Section 12.07 shall satisfy the minimum distribution requirements of
Section 401(a)(9) of the Code. Such Participant shall continue to be an
Eligible Employee for all purposes of the Plan.
Section 12.08 Distribution to Alternate Payee Pursuant to Qualified
Domestic Relations Order. If the Plan Administrator receives a domestic
relations order and determines that such order is a qualified domestic relations
order (as described in Section 15.12), benefits payable to the alternate payee
thereunder shall be distributed in [any form permitted by the Plan (as if the
alternate payee were a Participant)] as soon as practicable following the first
Valuation Date after the Plan Administrator receives the alternate payee's
request for such distribution, which request shall be in any form requested by
the Plan Administrator. For
-32-
purposes of this Section 12.08, the terms "alternate payee" and "qualified
domestic relations order" shall have the meanings set forth in Section 414(p) of
the Code.

the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the Distributees and
the Distributee's joint annuitant, (ii) any distribution that is one
of a series of payments made for a specified period of ten years or

subject to specific conditions:
(a) The loan is one which is made available to all Participants and
Beneficiaries who are parties in interest on a reasonably equivalent
basis and is not made available to Participants who are Highly
Compensated Employees in an amount greater in proportion to the size
of such Participants' Savings Accounts than that available to other
Participants;
(b) Each loan shall bear a reasonable rate of interest commensurate with
the prime rate quoted in The Wall Street Journal as of the first
business day of each month plus one percentage point. The interest
rate shall apply to all loans issued during that month;
(c) The loan shall be adequately secured by assignment of a portion of the
balance in the Participant's Savings Account in an amount equal to the
principal amount of the loan, but not in excess of fifty percent (50%)
of the balance in the Participant's Savings Account determined as of
the Valuation Date on which the loan is requested;
(d) The minimum amount which may be loaned hereunder at any one time to
any Participant or Beneficiary shall be $500. The maximum amount
which may be loaned hereunder at any one time to any Participant or
Beneficiary shall not exceed the lesser of (i) $50,000 reduced by the
excess (if any) of the highest outstanding balance of all loans to the
Participant or Beneficiary from all tax-qualified plans of the Company
during the 1-year period ending on the day before the date on which
such loan is made, over the outstanding balance of all loans to the
Participant or Beneficiary from all tax-qualified plans of the Company
on the date on which such loan is made, or (ii) fifty percent (50%) of
the balance in the Participant's Savings Account determined as of the
Valuation Date on which the loan is requested;
(e) Refusal of the Plan Administrator or such other person designated by
the Plan Administrator to grant any loan shall not preclude future
applications by the same Participant or Beneficiary, and application
for or acceptance of a loan hereunder shall not of itself be construed
to constitute termination of participation in or waiver of any rights
under the Plan;
(f) All loans granted under the Plan shall be repaid, pursuant to a
written repayment schedule, by payroll deduction (or as otherwise
determined by the Plan Administrator if not paid by payroll deduction)
and shall be evidenced by
-34-
a written promissory note payable to the Trustee. In no event shall
loans be extended for a period of less than six months or greater than
five years. In no event shall more than one loan be extended to a
Participant or Beneficiary hereunder at any one time. Principal and
interest payments by the Participant or Beneficiary shall be at least
monthly on a level amortization basis. Any Participant or Beneficiary
to whom a loan is extended pursuant to this Section 12.10 may elect to
accelerate the repayment of such loan;
(g) In the event of the failure to pay on a timely basis any amount of
either principal or interest which is due under the terms of any loan,
the Trustee, at the direction of the RSP Committee, shall declare the
loan in default and the full amount of the loan due and payable. Upon
declaration of default, the Plan Administrator shall take whatever
action may be lawful to remedy the default. Such action may include
setoff of the remaining balance of the loan against the appropriate
Participant's Savings Account, provided that setoff may not be made
prior to the first date on which any such amount could otherwise have
been distributed pursuant to Article 12. The Plan Administrator may
setoff amounts owed by the Participant or Beneficiary as described in
the preceding sentence without being in violation of Section 16.01.
No Participant or Beneficiary who has once defaulted on a loan
extended hereunder shall be granted any additional loan whatsoever.
In the event a Participant or Beneficiary to whom a loan has been
extended pursuant to this Section 12.10 ceases to be a "party in
interest," the loan shall be deemed to be in default and subject to
the provisions of this subsection 12.10(g);
(h) A separate segregated account shall be established for each
Participant or Beneficiary who is granted a loan pursuant to this
Section 12.10. The segregated account, which shall be part of the
Participant's Savings Account, shall be credited with the amount of
the loan. Segregated accounts shall not share in the dividends,
earnings, losses and gains of the Trust. Each payment of principal
and interest shall be credited to the segregated account in the
Participant's Savings Account and shall be reinvested in the
Investment Funds in the same percentages as the contributions to the
Participant's Savings Account are invested at such time or, if there
are no current contributions to the Participant's Savings Account, in
the percentages in which such contributions were invested immediately
prior to the loan. In the absence of an effective investment
election, each payment of principal and interest shall be credited to
the segregated account in the Participant's Savings Account and shall
be reinvested in The George Putnam Fund of Boston;
(i) Amounts advanced as loans under this Section 12.10 shall not be
considered distributions; and
-35-
(j) Loan distributions shall commence following the Valuation Date in which
the Participant requested a loan or as soon as practicable thereafter.

The determination of the existence of an immediate and heavy financial need
and of the amount necessary to meet the need shall be made by the Plan

or necessary for these persons to obtain medical care as described in

residence or foreclosure on the mortgage of the Participant's

withdrawal in excess of the applicable dollar limit under Section 5.03
for such next calendar year less the amount of such Participant's
Before-Tax Contributions for the calendar year of the hardship
withdrawal.
The maximum amount which a Participant, who has not attained age 59-1/2 on
or before the date on which he would otherwise receive a withdrawal pursuant to
this Section 13.02, may withdraw from the balance in his Savings Account
attributable to Before-Tax Contributions shall be equal to the lesser of the
current balance in his Savings Account attributable to Before-Tax Contributions,
or the balance in his Savings Account attributable to Before-Tax Contributions
as of December 31, 1988 increased by the Before-Tax Contributions made on his
behalf after that date and reduced by any withdrawals pursuant to this Section
13.02 after that date.

required to provide evidence of an immediate and heavy financial need to qualify
for a withdrawal from the balance in his Savings Account attributable to the
Before-Tax Contributions made on his behalf and amounts transferred to his
Savings Account pursuant to Section 7.01 (excluding the company matching
contributions made on his behalf and any after-tax contributions made by him to
the Borg-Warner Corporation Investment Plan transferred to his Savings Account

Contributions and amounts transferred to his Savings Account pursuant to Section
7.01 (excluding the company matching contributions made on his behalf and any
after-tax contributions made by him to the Borg-Warner Corporation Investment
Plan transferred to his Savings Account pursuant to Section 7.01), and the
income allocable thereto, including income credited to his Savings Account after
December 31, 1988. Such Participant's Before-Tax Contributions and After-Tax
Contributions shall not be suspended as a result of a withdrawal pursuant to
this Section 13.02.

involving solely his own rights or benefits as a Participant under the Plan, and
any such matters shall be determined by the other members of the RSP Committee.

dissent in writing delivered to the other RSP Committee members shall not be
responsible for any such action or failure to act.
Section 15.07 Expenses of RSP Committee. Members of the RSP Committee
shall not receive compensation from the Plan for those services they perform as

the Trustee.
Section 15.09 Information from Participant. The Plan Administrator may
require a Participant to complete and file with the Plan Administrator forms
approved by the RSP Committee, and to furnish all pertinent information
requested by such RSP Committee. The RSP Committee may rely upon all such
information so furnished, including the Participant's current mailing address.
Section 15.10 Notification of Participant's Address. Each Participant,
retired Participant and Beneficiary entitled to benefits under the Plan must
file with the Plan Administrator or such other person designated by the Plan
Administrator, in writing, his post office address and each change of post
office address. Any communication, statement or notice addressed to such a
person at this latest post office address as filed with the Plan Administrator
will, on deposit in the United States mail with postage prepaid, be binding upon
such person for all purposes of the Plan, and the Plan Administrator shall not
be obliged to search for, or to ascertain the whereabouts of, any such person.
Section 15.11 Claims Procedure. A Participant or Beneficiary shall file a
claim for benefits under the Plan in writing with the Plan Administrator who
shall process it and approve or disapprove it within 90 days of the date that
the claim is received. If special circumstances arise and the Plan
Administrator cannot process the claim within 90 days, the Plan Administrator
shall notify the claimant that the time for making the decision is extended for
up to 90 additional days. If the Plan Administrator fails to notify the
claimant within the applicable period, the claim is considered denied. If the
Plan Administrator makes a determination to deny benefits to a Participant, the
denial shall be stated in writing and delivered or mailed to the Participant or
Beneficiary. Such notice shall set forth the specific reasons for the denial,
written in a manner that may be understood by the Participant, and shall
describe the steps necessary for appeal. The Participant whose claim for
benefits has been denied shall have a period of 60 days in which to appeal to
the RSP Committee and submit additional information to the RSP Committee. The
RSP Committee shall consider the request at its next scheduled meeting. If the
claim is again denied in writing, the Participant or Beneficiary may request a
hearing within 60 days of the second denial, and the RSP Committee shall afford
a reasonable opportunity for a hearing to any Participant or Beneficiary for a
review of its decision denying the claim, which hearing shall be held within 60
days following receipt of the request. The Claimant shall have an opportunity
to present evidence and appear before the RSP Committee. The RSP Committee
shall review all evidence submitted by the claimant, shall make its decision
regarding the claim within 120 days following the receipt of the request for a
hearing by the claimant and shall provide the
-42-
claimant with a written decision. The decision of the RSP Committee regarding
the claim shall be final and conclusive.
Section 15.12 Qualified Domestic Relations Order Procedure. In the case
of any domestic relations order received by the Plan Administrator, the Plan
Administrator shall promptly notify the Participant and the spouse, former
spouse, child or other alternate payee of the receipt of such order and the
Plan's procedures for determining the qualified status of domestic relations
orders. Within a reasonable period after receipt of such order, the Plan
Administrator shall determine whether such order is a "qualified domestic
relations order" within the meaning of Section 414(p) of the Code. It shall
then notify the Participant and the alternate payee of such determination.
The Plan Administrator shall establish reasonable procedures to determine
the qualified status of domestic relations orders and to administer
distributions under such qualified orders. Such procedures shall be in writing,
shall provide for the notification of each person specified in a domestic
relations order as entitled to payment of benefits under the Plan (at the
address included in the domestic relations order) of such procedures promptly
upon receipt by the Plan Administrator of the domestic relations order and shall
permit an alternate payee to designate a representative for receipt of copies of
notices that are sent to the alternate payee with respect to a domestic
relations order.
During any period in which the issue of whether a domestic relations order
is a qualified domestic relations order is being determined (by the Plan
Administrator, by a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise), the Plan
Administrator shall cause the Trustee to segregate in a separate account in the
Trust or in an escrow account the amounts which would have been payable to the
alternate payee during such period if the order had been determined to be a
qualified domestic relations order. If within the 18-month period beginning on
the date on which the first payment would be required to be made under the
domestic relations order it is determined that the order is not a qualified
domestic relations order or the question of whether the order is a qualified
domestic relations order is not resolved, the Plan Administrator shall cause the
Trustee to pay the segregated amounts (plus any interest thereon) to the person
or persons who would have been entitled to such amounts if there had been no
order.
Any determination that an order is a qualified domestic relations order
which is made after the close of the 18-month period described in the preceding
paragraph shall be applied prospectively only.
If the Plan Administrator or any Fiduciary acts in accordance with this
Section 15.12 in treating a domestic relations order as being (or not being) a
qualified domestic relations order or taking action under this Section 15.12,
the Plan's obligation to the Participant and each alternate payee shall be
discharged to the extent of any payment made.
-43-
ARTICLE 16. GENERAL PROVISIONS
---------- ------------------
Section 16.01 Nonalienation of Benefits. Except for qualified domestic
relations orders, and as otherwise required under federal law, assignment of
benefits under the Plan or their pledge or encumbrance in any manner shall not
be permitted or recognized under any circumstance, nor shall such benefits be
subject to attachment or other legal process for the debts of any Participant,
former Participant or Beneficiary.
Section 16.02 Payment to Incapacitated Participant or Beneficiary. If the
RSP Committee shall find that a Participant, former Participant or Beneficiary
is unable to care for his affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor,
or has died, the RSP Committee may direct that any payment due him, unless claim
therefor shall have been made by a duly appointed legal representative, shall be
paid to his spouse, a child, a parent, or other blood relative or to a person
with whom he resides, and any such payment so made shall be in complete
discharge of the liabilities of the Plan therefor.
Section 16.03 Payment Because of Inability to Locate Participant of
Beneficiary. If the Plan Administrator is unable, within three years after any
benefit becomes due under the Plan to a Participant or Beneficiary, to make
payment because the identity and/or whereabouts of such Participant or
Beneficiary cannot be ascertained notwithstanding the mailing of notice to any
last known address or addresses, the Plan Administrator shall make payment of
such benefit as provided in Section 11.02 as though such Participant had died
three years after the date such benefit became due. In the event the payment
cannot be made pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.02 the balance in such
Participant's RSP Account shall be forfeited. If the Participant or Beneficiary
later makes a claim for a benefit under the Plan, and that claim for a benefit
is granted, the amount in the Participant's RSP Account that was forfeited shall
be paid to the Participant or Beneficiary without regard to any subsequent gain
or loss.
Section 16.04 Interest in Fund Governed by Terms of the Plan. No
Participant, former Participant or Beneficiary, or any other person, shall have
any interest in or right under the Plan or in any part of the assets or earnings
thereof held in the Trust except as and to the extent provided in the Plan.
Section 16.05 Trust Sole Source of Benefits. The assets of the Trust
shall be the sole source of all benefits provided for in the Plan. The Company,
the Employee Benefits Committee and the RSP Committee do not in any way
guarantee the assets of the Trust from loss or depreciation as a result of
Participants' investments in the Investment Funds of the Plan.
Section 16.06 Actions by Board of Directors, Employee Benefits Committee
or RSP Committee. Whenever in the administration of the Plan, action by the
Board of Directors, the
-44-
Employee Benefits Committee or the RSP Committee is required with respect to
eligibility or classification of Employees, contributions or benefits, such
action shall be uniform in nature as applied to all persons similarly situated,
and no such action shall be taken which shall discriminate in favor of Employees
who are officers, stockholders or Highly Compensated Employees.
Section 16.07 Plan for Exclusive Benefit of Participant and Beneficiary.
No part of any Company Retirement Contribution or Company Matching Contribution
under Article 4 or of any Before-Tax Contribution or After-Tax Contribution
under Article 5 or of any part of the Trust (other than such part as provided
for under the Plan) shall be used for, or diverted to, purposes other than for
the exclusive benefit of the Participants under the Plan or their Beneficiaries.
Section 16.08 No Contract of Employment. Nothing contained in this Plan
shall be construed as a contract of employment between the Company and any
Employee, or as a right of any Employee to be continued in the employment of the
Company or as a limitation of the right of the Company to discharge any Employee
at any time with or without cause.
Section 16.09 Indemnification of Employee Benefits Committee, RSP
Committee and Plan Administrator. Members of the Employee Benefits Committee,
members of the RSP Committee and the Plan Administrator shall be indemnified by
the Corporation and the Company against any and all liabilities arising by
reason of any act or failure to act made in good faith pursuant to the
provisions of the Plan, including expenses reasonably incurred in the defense of
any claim relating thereto. If the Corporation takes any action to liquidate
under circumstances which require that the Employee Benefits Committee and/or
the RSP Committee remain in existence, the Corporation shall purchase insurance
for each member of the Employee Benefits Committee and the RSP Committee to
cover liability or losses occurring by reason of an act or omission of any such
member, unless the same is determined to be due to acts of gross negligence or
willful misconduct. The expenses incurred for such insurance or indemnification
shall be paid by the Company or Corporation, as applicable, and shall not be
reimbursable under the provisions of the Plan.
Section 16.10 Change in Business. In the event of the sale, dissolution,
merger, consolidation, reorganization or discontinuance of all or any part of
any trade or business of the Company, the RSP Committee, in its sole discretion,
may (a) determine that all or a portion of the affected Employees of the Company
shall no longer be Eligible Employees in the Plan and (b) determine that the
rights of the affected Employees accrued to the date of such sale, dissolution,
merger, consolidation, reorganization or discontinuance shall be nonforfeitable.
-45-
ARTICLE 17. AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION
---------- --------------------------
Section 17.01 Right to Amend Plan. The Corporation has delegated the
power to amend or modify the Plan in whole or in part to the Employee Benefits
Committee and, through the powers delegated to the Employee Benefits Committee
pursuant to Section 15.01, reserves the right at any time and from time to time
to amend or modify the Plan in whole or in part and either retroactively or
prospectively through a written instrument delivered to the Trustee; provided,
however, that:
(a) Except as expressly provided to the contrary herein, no such amendment
or modification shall authorize or permit any part of the corpus or
income of the Trust to be used for or diverted to purposes other than
for the exclusive benefit of Participants or Beneficiaries, or to
deprive any of them of funds then held for their account;
(b) No amendment or modification shall increase the duties or liabilities
of the Trustee without its written consent; and
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Employee Benefit
Committee may make any amendment or modification to the Plan and the
Trust that it deems necessary or appropriate to comply with any
statute or regulation, including requirements for qualification,
exempt status and deductibility of contributions under the Code, and
such amendments or modifications shall have retroactive effect if
necessary or appropriate for such purposes.
Section 17.02 Termination of Plan or Discontinuance of Contributions. It
is the intention of the Corporation to continue the Plan and to make
contributions thereto, but the Corporation reserves the right, through the
powers delegated to the Employee Benefits Committee pursuant to Section 15.01,
to suspend or terminate the Plan at any time and for any reason. In the event
of termination, dissolution, merger, consolidation or reorganization of the
Corporation, where the successor does not continue the Plan in accordance with
Section 18.01, upon partial termination of the Plan with respect to a group of
Participants, upon complete discontinuance of Company contributions under the
Plan or any other termination of the Plan, the interests of the affected
Participants shall become fully vested and their interests shall be
nonforfeitable. There shall be no Company contributions under Article 4 after
the date the Plan terminates. However, the RSP Committee and the Trust shall
remain in existence, and all of the provisions of the Plan (other than the
provisions relating to contributions and Forfeitures), which in the sole opinion
of the RSP Committee are necessary, shall remain in full force and effect.
Section 17.03 Distribution on Termination of Plan. In the event of the
termination or partial termination of the Plan, after payment of all expenses
(including Trustee fees), there
-46-
shall be distributed to each affected Participant, or to his Beneficiary in the
case of a deceased Participant, in such manner as the RSP Committee shall
direct, a benefit equal to the balance in the Participant's RSP Account, such
balance to be adjusted as provided in Article 10 as of the later of the
Valuation Date on which termination or partial termination occurs or the
Valuation Date coinciding with or immediately preceding the date of
distribution; provided, however, that the RSP Committee and the Trustee shall
not be required to effect such distribution until written evidence of approval
of such termination and distribution has been received from the Internal Revenue
Service. If such benefits shall not exhaust the assets of the Trust, any
remaining assets shall be allocated among the RSP Accounts of continuing
Participants in the same proportion that the balance in each continuing
Participant's RSP Account bears to the aggregate balance in all continuing
Participant's RSP Accounts, and in no event shall such assets revert or inure to
the benefit of the Company. Upon termination, the RSP Committee may authorize
the payment to Participants or Beneficiaries of such amounts in cash or in kind,
with all such assets being measured at their fair market value. The Trustee
shall continue to hold, invest, administer and distribute the assets of the
Trust pursuant to the terms of the Plan until no Trust assets remain in its
hands. If a Participant dies after termination of the Plan and before all of
his interest in the Trust has been paid, the undistributed portion shall be
distributed to his Beneficiary in a lump-sum.
ARTICLE 18. SUCCESSOR CORPORATION, PLAN MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR TRANSFER OF
---------- ----------------------------------------------------------------
ASSETS
------
Section 18.01 Successor Corporation. In the event of the sale,
dissolution, merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Corporation,
provision may be made by which the Plan will be continued by the successor; and
in that event, such successor shall be substituted for the Corporation under the
Plan. The substitution of the successor shall constitute an assumption of Plan
liabilities by the successor, and the successor shall have all of the powers,
duties and responsibilities of the Corporation under the Plan.
Section 18.02 Plan Merger, Consolidation or Transfer of Assets to Other
Qualified Plans. In the event of any merger or consolidation of the Plan with,
or transfer in whole or in part of the assets and liabilities of the Trust to,
any other plan of deferred compensation maintained or to be established for the
benefit of all or some of the Participants of this Plan, the assets of the Trust
applicable to such Participants shall be transferred to the other trust only if:
(a) Each Participant would (if the other plan then terminated) receive a
benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation or transfer which
is equal to or greater than the benefit he would have been entitled to
receive immediately before the merger, consolidation or transfer (if
the Plan had then terminated);
-47-
(b) Resolutions of the Board of Directors (as defined in Section 2.07 of
the Plan), and of the Board of Directors of any new successor employer
of the affected Participants, shall authorize such transfer of assets;
and in the case of the new successor employer of the affected
Participants, its resolutions shall include an assumption of
liabilities with respect to such Participants' inclusion in the new
employer's plan; and
(c) Such other plan is qualified under Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the
Code.
ARTICLE 19. TOP-HEAVY PLAN PROVISIONS
---------- -------------------------
Section 19.01 Top-Heavy Plan Definitions. The definitions relating to
------------- --------------------------
top-heavy plan provisions are as follows:
(a) The term "Top-Heavy Plan" or "Top-Heavy" means the Plan or refers to
the Plan if, as of the Determination Date (as defined in subsection
19.01(b) below), the aggregate balance in the RSP Accounts of Key
Employees (as defined in subsection 19.01(c) below) under the Plan
exceeds sixty percent (60%) of the aggregate balance in the RSP
Accounts of all Employees under the Plan, as determined in accordance
with the provisions of Section 416(g) of the Code. The determination
of whether the Plan is Top-Heavy shall be made after aggregating all
other tax-qualified plans of the Company, if any, which are required
to be aggregated pursuant to Section 416(g)(2) of the Code and after
aggregating any other such plan of the Company which may be taken into
account under the permissive aggregation rules of Section
416(g)(2)(A)(ii) of the Code if such permissive aggregation thereby
eliminates the Top-Heavy status of any plan within such permissive
aggregation group. The Plan is "Super Top Heavy" if, as of the
Determination Date, the Plan would meet the test specified above for
being a Top-Heavy Plan if ninety percent (90%) were substituted for
sixty percent (60%) in each place in which it appears in this
subsection 19.01(a). The plans which are required to be aggregated
include (1) all qualified plans of the Company in which at least one
Key Employee participates and all qualified plans of the Company in
which at least one Key Employee participated which were terminated
within the five-year period ending on the Determination Date, and (2)
all other plans of the Company which enable a plan described in (1) to
meet the requirements of Section 401(a)(4) or Section 410 of the Code.
The plans which are permitted to be aggregated include the plans which
are required to be aggregated plus any plan or plans of the Company
which, when considered as a group with the required aggregation group,
would continue to satisfy the requirements of Sections 401(a)(4) and
410 of the Code. For the purposes of these Top-Heavy
-48-
provisions, Employees and Key Employees shall include only such
individuals who performed any services for the Company at any time
during the five-year period ending on the Determination Date.
(b) The term "Determination Date," for purposes of determining whether the
Plan is Top Heavy for a particular Plan Year, means the last day of
the preceding Plan Year (or, in the case of the first Plan Year of the
Plan, the last day of the first Plan Year).
(c) The term "Key Employee" means any Participant in the Plan (including a
Beneficiary of such Participant) who at any time during the Plan Year
or any of the four preceding Plan Years is:
(1) An individual who receives as annual Compensation more than 50%
of the dollar limit under Section 415(b)(1)(A) of the Code and
who is an officer of the Company (but in no event shall more than
fifty (50) Employees or, if less, the greater of three or ten
percent (10%) of all Employees be taken into account under this
paragraph (1) as Key Employees);
(2) One of the ten (10) Employees owning (or considered as owning
within the meaning of Section 318 of the Code) both more than a
one-half percent (1/2%) interest and the largest interests in the
Company, provided that such Employee also had Compensation for
that Plan Year exceeding the maximum dollar limitation under
Section 415(c)(1)(A) of the Code in effect for the calendar year
in which the Determination Date falls;
(3) A person owning (or considered as owning within the meaning of
Section 318 of the Code) more than five percent (5%) of the
outstanding stock of the Company or stock possessing more than
five percent (5%) of the total combined voting power of all stock
of the Company; or
(4) A person who receives as annual Compensation from the Company
more than $150,000 and who would be described in paragraph (3) of
this subsection 19.01(c) if one percent (1%) were substituted for
five percent (5%).
For purposes of applying Section 318 of the Code to the provisions of this
subsection 19.01(c), paragraph (C) of Section 318(a)(2) of the Code shall be
applied by substituting five percent (5%) of fifty percent (50%). In addition,
the rules of subsections (b), (c) and (m) of
-49-
Section 414 of the Code shall not apply for purposes of determining ownership
percentage in the Company under this subsection 19.01(c).
(d) The term "Non-Key Employee" means any Participant in the Plan
(including a Beneficiary of such Participant) who is not a Key
Employee.
Section 19.02 Requirements in Plan Years in Which Plan is Top-Heavy.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Plan is Top-Heavy as
determined pursuant to Section 416 of the Code for any Plan Year, then the Plan
shall meet the following requirements for any such Plan Year:
(a) Minimum Vesting Requirements. A Participant's vested percentage in
his Company Retirement Contribution Account and that portion of the
balance in his Employee Retirement Account attributable to Company
Matching Contributions under Section 4.02 shall be determined in
accordance with the following schedule and not in accordance with
Section 2.49:
Years of Vested Service Vested Portion
----------------------- --------------
Less than Three 0%
Three or more 100%
In the event that the Top-Heavy Plan ceases thereafter to be Top-
Heavy, each Participant's vested percentage shall again be determined
under Section 2.49, provided that a Participant's vested percentage
shall not be reduced thereby.
(b) Minimum Contribution Requirement. It is intended that the Company
will meet the minimum contribution requirements of Sections 416(c) and
416(h) of the Code by providing the minimum contribution through a
combination of Company Retirement Contributions, Company Matching
Contributions and Before-Tax Contributions for such Plan Year for each
Participant who is a Non-Key Employee, in accordance with whichever of
the following paragraphs in applicable:
(1) If the Company does not maintain a tax-qualified defined-benefit
pension plan, or if the Company maintains such a pension plan in
which no Participant can participate, the minimum contribution
per Participant shall be three percent (3%) of the Participant's
Compensation for the Plan Year;
(2) If the Company maintains a tax-qualified defined-benefit pension
plan in which one or more Participants may participate, and that
pension plan is
-50-
not Top-Heavy, the minimum contribution per Participant shall be
three percent (3%) of a Participant's Compensation for that Plan
Year; provided, however, that if the Plan is not Super Top-Heavy,
the minimum contribution shall be increased to four percent (4%)
if necessary to avoid the application of Section 416(h)(1) of the
Code (relating to the adjustment of the combined plan
contributions and benefits limitation which would substitute 1.0
for 1.25 in the defined-contribution and benefit plan factors
under Section 415 of the Code) and if such adjusted plan
contributions and benefits limitation would otherwise be exceeded
if such increased minimum contribution were not so increased; and
(3) If the Company maintains a tax-qualified defined-benefit pension
plan in which one or more Participants may participate, and that
pension plan is Top-Heavy, the minimum contribution per
Participant shall be five percent (5%) of the Participant's
Compensation for that Plan Year; provided, however, that if the
Plan is not Super Top-Heavy, the minimum contribution shall be
increased to seven point five percent (7.5%) if necessary to
avoid the application of Section 416(h)(l) of the Code (relating
to the adjustments to the combined plan contributions and
benefits limitation described in paragraph (2) above) and if such
adjusted plan contributions and benefits limitation would
otherwise be exceeded if an increased minimum contribution is not
made.
The minimum Company contribution under this subsection 19.02(b) shall be
allocated to the Participants' RSP Accounts in the necessary amounts and in such
proportions as the RSP Committee shall determine.
The minimum contribution requirements set forth herein shall be reduced in
the following circumstances:
(1) The percentage minimum contribution required hereunder shall in
no event exceed the percentage contribution made for the Key
Employee for whom such percentage is the highest for the Plan
Year after taking into account contributions or benefits under
other qualified plans in this Plan's aggregate group as provided
pursuant to Section 416(c)(2)(B)(ii) of the Code; and
(2) No minimum contribution will be required (or the minimum
contribution will be reduced, as the case may be) for a
Participant for any Plan Year if the Employer maintains another
qualified plan under which a minimum benefit or contribution is
being accrued or made for
-51-
such Plan Year in whole or in part for the Participant in
accordance with Section 416(c) of the Code.
ARTICLE 20. CONSTRUCTION

forming part thereof shall be construed and administered according to the laws

THE BORG-WARNER SECURITY CORPORATION HEADQUARTERS'
--------------------------------------------------
SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFITS COMPENSATION PROGRAM
------------------------------------------
The Borg-Warner Security Corporation Headquarters' Supplemental Benefits
Compensation Program (the "Program"), established January 1, 1995, provides
additional income to employees not eligible to participate in the Borg-Warner
Security Corporation Retirement Savings Plan.
Under the Program, you will receive after-tax cash payments (at least monthly).
As a participant in the Program, you may request that your payments be directed
to Fidelity Investments Life Insurance Company ("Fidelity") to invest in
Fidelity's tax deferred annuity ("TDA"). Supplemental payments are sent to
Fidelity monthly.
ELIGIBILITY
Borg-Warner Security Corporation (the "Company") will determine an employee's
eligibility for the Program: participating employees are those employees who
have completed six consecutive months of service with the Company and are
determined by the Company to be highly compensated -- and as such not eligible
for the Retirement Savings Plan. The Company's determination of who is a highly
compensated employee will be binding and conclusive.
Program participants are:
. any employee previously notified that he or she is eligible to participate in
this Program,
. an employee whose 1994 earnings equal or exceed $66,000 or
. an employee whose base annual salary, when hired, exceeds that amount.
The Company, in accordance with IRS regulations, will adjust these dollar limits
for determining eligibility each year.
You will become a participant in the Program on the January 1 following the date
the Company notifies you of your eligibility. Once you begin participating in
the Program, you remain a participant in the Program -- even if you no longer
meet the definition of a highly compensated employee.
SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENTS
The amount you receive as supplemental payments under the Program depends on two
factors:
. your years of service, and
. whether you receive the payments as monthly cash compensation or elect
to have the payments remitted directly to your TDA.
The payments are a specified percentage of your earnings, adjusted for taxes.
In calculating your payments, your earnings means your salary received during
the calendar year, including overtime pay, commissions and bonuses, but does not
include reimbursement of education or relocation expenses, severance or
transitional income benefits, or any payments made by the Company under any
option or stock plans, or other taxable fringe benefits. The supplemental
payment is not included in earnings used to calculate your supplemental benefit
1
payment.
In making your payments, the Company will withhold the appropriate taxes based
upon your current W-4 withholding election. You do not need to make a separate
withholding election with respect to the supplemental payments.
IF YOU ARE AGE 45 OR YOUNGER AS OF THE DATE YOU BECOME ELIGIBLE:
If You Receive Your Supplemental Payments as Cash, the percentage to be used to
calculate your payments is as shown:

TRANSFERS OF SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENTS
To encourage you to save your supplemental payments and invest them for future
use, the Company makes it possible for you to invest your payments directly in
your TDA. You are not required to invest your supplemental payments in the
Fidelity TDA; however, the Fidelity TDA is the only product into which the
Company will make direct payments on your behalf.
Since your participation in the Fidelity TDA is entirely voluntary, you must
provide the Company with your written instructions to have your payments sent to
Fidelity. If you do not make this election, you will receive your supplemental
payments in cash on a monthly basis.
It's important that you save for your future. The Program is one way for you to
do so. For further information regarding Fidelity's TDA, please read
"Fidelity's TDA: A Way to Save," available from your Benefits Administrator.
You can also obtain copies of additional information by contacting Fidelity
directly at P.O. Box 1306, Boston, Massachusetts 021049907, (800) 634-9361.

While the Company intends to continue this Program, it does reserve the right to
modify, amend or terminate the Program at any time.

the Company hereby. The Tranche Rate applicable to any such Purchased Interest

Transfer Price of an Incremental Transfer. The Transferor shall pay to the
Company, on each day on which Commercial Paper is issued by the Company, the
Dealer Fee. Discount shall accrue with respect to each Tranche on each day
occurring during the Tranche Period related thereto. Nothing in this Agreement
shall limit in any way the obligations of the Transferor to pay the amounts set

SECTION 2.5 Non-Liquidation Settlement and Reinvestment Procedures.
On each day after the date of any Incremental Transfer but prior to the
Termination Date, the Collection Agent shall out of the Percentage Factor of
Collections received on or prior to such day and not previously applied or
accounted for: (i) set aside and hold in trust for the Company (or deposit into
the Collection Account if so required pursuant to Section 2.12) an amount equal
to all Discount and the Servicing Fee accrued through such day and not so
previously set aside or paid and (ii) apply the balance of such Percentage
Factor of Collections remaining after application of Collections as provided in
clause (i) of this Section 2.5 to the Transferor, for the benefit of the Company
to the purchase of additional undivided percentage interests in each Receivable
pursuant to Section 2.2(b). On the last day of each Tranche Period, from the
amounts set aside as described in clause (i) of the first sentence of this
Section 2.5, the Collection Agent shall deposit
28
to the Company's account, an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Discount for
such Tranche Period and shall deposit to its account an amount equal to the
accrued and unpaid Servicing Fee for such Tranche Period. As provided in Section
6.2(b), the Collection Agent shall remit to the Transferor, as soon as
practicable after receipt, such portion of Collections not allocated to the
Company.
SECTION 2.6 Liquidation Settlement Procedures. If on the Termination
Date, the Percentage Factor is greater than the Maximum Percentage Factor, then
the Transferor shall immediately pay to the Company from previously received
Collections, an amount equal to the amount such that, when applied in reduction
of the Net Investment, will result in a Percentage Factor less than or equal to
the Maximum Percentage Factor. Such amount shall be applied by the Company to
the reduction of the Net Investment of Tranche Periods selected by the Company.
On the Termination Date and on each day thereafter, the Collection Agent shall
set aside and hold in trust for the Company (or deposit into the Collection
Account if so required pursuant to Section 2.12) the Percentage Factor of all
Collections received on such day. On the Termination Date, the Collection Agent
shall deposit to the Company's account any remaining amounts set aside pursuant
to Section 2.5(i) above. On the last day of each Tranche Period to occur on or
after the Termination Date, the Collection Agent shall deposit to the Company's
account, the amounts set aside pursuant to the preceding sentence, together with
any remaining amounts set aside pursuant to Section 2.5(i) prior to the
Termination Date but not to exceed the sum of (i) the accrued Discount for such
Tranche Period, (ii) the portion of the Net Investment allocated to such Tranche
Period, and (iii) the aggregate of all other amounts then owed (whether due or
accrued) hereunder by Transferor to the Company. On such day, the Collection
Agent shall deposit to its account, from the amounts set aside pursuant to the
preceding sentence which remain after payment in full of the aforementioned
amounts, the accrued Servicing Fee for such Tranche Period. If there shall be
insufficient funds on deposit for the Collection Agent to distribute funds in
payment in full of the aforementioned amounts, the Collection Agent shall
distribute funds first, in payment of the accrued Discount, second, in payment
of all fees and expenses payable to the Company hereunder, third, if the
Transferor is not the Collection Agent, to the Collection Agent's account, in
payment of the Servicing Fee payable to the Collection Agent, fourth, in
reduction of the Net
29
Investment allocated to such Tranche Period, fifth, in payment of all other
amounts payable to the Company and sixth, if the Transferor is the Collection
Agent, to its account as Collection Agent, in payment of the Servicing Fee
payable to the Transferor as Collection Agent. Following the date on which the
Net Investment has been reduced to zero, all accrued Discount and Servicing Fees
have been paid in full and all other Aggregate Unpaids have been paid in full,
(i) the Collection Agent shall recompute the Percentage Factor, (ii) the Company
shall be considered to have reconveyed to the Transferor any interest in the
Receivables (including the Transferred Interest), (iii) the Collection Agent
shall pay to Transferor any remaining Collections set aside and held by the
Collection Agent pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 2.6 and (iv)
the Company shall execute and deliver to the Transferor, at the Transferor's
expense, such documents or instruments as are necessary to terminate the
Company's interest in the Receivables. Any such documents shall be prepared by

Transferor will, upon the request of the Company, in order to accurately reflect
this purchase and sale transaction, execute and file such financing or
continuation statements or amendments thereto or assignments thereof (as
permitted pursuant to Section 9.6
30
hereof) as may be requested by the Company and mark its master data processing
records and other documents with a legend describing the purchase by the Company
of the Transferred Interest. The Transferor shall, upon request of the Company,

fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall be permitted to

thereof without the Transferor's signature. Carbon, photographic or other
reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement shall be sufficient as
a financing statement. The Transferor shall neither change its name, identity
or corporate structure (within the meaning of Section 9-402(7) of the UCC as in

office or any office where Records are kept unless it shall have: (i) given the
Company at least thirty (30) days prior notice thereof and (ii) prepared at

instruments and other documents necessary to preserve and protect the
Transferred Interest or requested by the Company in connection with such change

Agent receives any Collections or the Transferor is deemed to receive any

adjustment or other adjustment, or (y) reduced or canceled as a result of a
setoff or offset in respect of any claim by any Person (whether such claim
arises out of the same or a related transaction or an unrelated transaction),
the Transferor shall be deemed to have received on such day a collection of such
Receivable in the amount of such reduction or cancellation and the Transferor
shall pay to the Collection Agent an amount equal to such reduction or
cancellation and such amount shall be applied by the Collection Agent as a
Collection in accordance with Section 2.5 or 2.6, as applicable. The Net
Investment shall be reduced by the amount of such payment actually received by
the Company.
(b) If on any day any of the representations or warranties in Article
III is no longer true with respect to a Receivable, the Transferor shall be
deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Receivable in full and
the Transferor shall on such day pay to the Collection Agent an amount equal to
the aggregate Percentage Factor of the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable
and such amount shall be allocated to the Company and applied by the Collection
Agent as a Collection allocable to the Transferred Interest in accordance with
Section 2.5 or 2.6, as applicable. The Net Investment shall be reduced by the
amount of such payment actually received by the Company.
(c) Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by
it to the Transferor shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or
otherwise required by contract or law and unless otherwise instructed by the
Company, be applied as a Collection of any Receivable of such Obligor included

extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to
any other receivable or other indebtedness of such Obligor.

or deposited by the Transferor or

records (which information shall not be more than three (3) Business Days old),
and the calculation of the Percentage Factor as of the preceding day.
SECTION 2.12 Collection Account. There shall be established on the
day of the initial Incremental Transfer hereunder and maintained, for the
benefit of the Company, with the Collateral Agent, a segregated account
(the "Collection Account"), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the
funds deposited therein are held for
33
the benefit of the Company. The Collection Agent shall remit daily within forty-
eight hours of receipt to the Collection Account all Collections received with
respect to any Receivables; provided, however, the Collection Agent shall be
permitted to make payments to the Company on the last day of each Tranche Period
instead of depositing funds into the Collection Account on a daily basis for so
long as, and only for so long as no Collection Agent default and no other
Termination Event has occurred hereunder. Funds on deposit in the Collection
Account (other than investment earnings) shall be invested by the Collateral
Agent in Eligible Investments that will mature so that such funds will be
available prior to the last day of each successive Tranche Period following such
investment. All interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) on
funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall be retained in the Collection
Account and be available to make any payments required to be made hereunder
(including Discount) to the Company. On the date on which the Net Investment is
zero and all amounts payable hereunder have been paid to the Company, any funds
remaining on deposit in the Collection Account shall be paid to the Transferor.

ARTICLE VI
ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTIONS
SECTION 6.1 Appointment of Collection Agent. The servicing,
administering and collection of the Receivables shall be conducted by such
Person (the "Collection Agent") so designated from time to time in accordance
with this Section 6.1. Until the Company gives notice to Borg-Warner of the
designation of a new Collection Agent, Borg-Warner is hereby designated as, and
hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Collection Agent
pursuant to the terms hereof. The Company may, upon the occurrence of a
Collection Agent default or any other Termination Event designate as Collection
Agent any Person (including itself) to succeed Borg-Warner or any successor
Collection Agent, on the condition in each case that any such Person so
designated shall agree to perform the duties and obligations of the Collection
Agent pursuant to the terms hereof. After the occurrence of a Termination
Event, the Company may notify any Obligor of the Transferred Interest. The
Collection Agent may delegate to any Affiliate any portion of its obligation
hereunder in the ordinary course of its business; provided that no such
delegation shall relieve the Collection Agent of any liability hereunder.
SECTION 6.2 Duties of Collection Agent.
(a) The Collection Agent shall take or cause to be taken all such
action as may be necessary or advisable to collect each Receivable from time to
time, all in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, with
reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection
Policy. Each of the Transferor and the Company hereby appoints as its agent the
Collection Agent, from time to time designated pursuant to Section 6.1, to
enforce its respective rights and interests in and under the Receivables, the
Related Security and the Contracts. The Collection Agent shall set aside for
the account of the Transferor and the Company their respective allocable shares
of the Collections of Receivables in accordance with Sections 2.5 and 2.6. The
Collection Agent shall segregate and deposit to the Company's account the
Company's allocable share of Collections of Receivables when required pursuant
to
53
Article II hereof. So long as no Termination Event shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Collection Agent may, in accordance with the Credit and
Collection Policy, adjust the Outstanding Balance of a Receivable as the
Transferor may determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof;
provided, however, that such adjustment shall not alter the status of such
Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or a Defaulted Receivable. The Transferor
shall deliver to the Collection Agent and the Collection Agent shall hold in
trust for the Transferor and the Company in accordance with their respective
interests, all Records which evidence or relate to Receivables or Related
Security. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
Company shall have the absolute and unlimited right to direct the Collection
Agent (whether the Collection Agent is the Transferor or any other Person) to
commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any Receivable or
to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security; provided that no such
direction may be given unless a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing
hereunder.
(b) The Collection Agent shall hold for the benefit of the Transferor
Collections received minus the Percentage Factor of such Collections. On the
last day of each Tranche Period, the Collection Agent shall deduct from such
Collections and pay to the Company in reduction of the Net Investment any
amounts due under Section 2.9 hereof and unpaid from the Transferor and turn the
remainder of such Collections over to the Transferor. In addition, the
Collection Agent shall, as soon as practicable following receipt thereof, turn
over to the Transferor any collections of any indebtedness of any Obligor which
is not a Receivable. If Borg-Warner is not the Collection Agent, the Collection
Agent, by giving three Business Days' prior written notice to the Company, may
revise the percentage used to calculate the Servicing Fee so long as the revised
percentage will not result in a Servicing Fee that exceeds 110% of the
reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such Collection
Agent incurred in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder
as documented to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company. The Collection
Agent, if other than the Transferor, shall as soon as practicable upon demand,
deliver to the Transferor all Records in its possession which evidence or relate
to indebtedness of an Obligor which is not a Receivable.
54
(c) On or before 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the
Collection Agent, beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 1994, the
Collection Agent shall cause a firm of independent public accountants (who may
also render other services to the Collection Agent or the Transferor) to furnish
a report to the Company to the effect that they have (i) compared the
information contained in the Investor Reports delivered during such fiscal year
with the information contained in the Contracts and the Collection Agent's
records and computer systems for such period, and that, on the basis of such
examination and comparison, such firm is of the opinion that the information
contained in the Investor Reports reconciles with the information contained in
the Contracts and the Collection Agent's records and computer system and that
the servicing of the Receivables has been conducted in compliance with this
Agreement, (ii) confirmed the Net Receivables Balance as reported on each
Investor Report and Weekly Report delivered during such fiscal year, and (iii)
verified that the Receivables treated by the Collection Agent as Eligible
Receivables in fact satisfied the requirements of the definition thereof
contained herein except, in each case for (a) such exceptions as such firm shall
believe to be immaterial (which exceptions need not be enumerated) and (b) such
other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Article VI, the Collection Agent shall have no obligation to collect, enforce or
take any other action described in this Article VI with respect to any
Receivable that is not included in the Transferred Interest other than to
deliver to the Transferor the Collections and documents with respect to any such
Receivable as described in Section 6.2(b).
SECTION 6.3 Rights After Designation of New Collection Agent. At any
time following the designation of a Collection Agent (other than Borg-Warner)
pursuant to Section 6.1:
(i) The Company may direct that payment of all amounts payable
under any Receivable be made directly to the Company or its designee.
55
(ii) Borg-Warner shall, at the Company's request and at Borg-
Warner's expense, give notice of the Company's interest in the Receivables
to each Obligor and direct that payments be made directly to the Company or
its designee.
(iii) Borg-Warner shall, at the Company's request, (A) assemble
all of the Records, and shall make the same available to the Company at a
place selected by the Company or its designee, and (B) segregate all cash,
checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting
Collections of Receivables in a manner acceptable to the Company and shall,
promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly
endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Company or
its designee.
(iv) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a
Termination Event, the Transferor hereby authorizes the Company to take any
and all steps in the Transferor's name and on behalf of the Transferor
necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Company, to collect all
amounts due under any and all Receivables, including, without limitation,
endorsing the Transferor's name on checks and other instruments
representing Collections and enforcing such Receivables and the related
Contracts.
SECTION 6.4 Responsibilities of the Transferor. Anything herein to
the contrary notwithstanding, the Transferor shall (i) perform all of its
obligations under the Contracts related to the Receivables to the same extent as
if interests in such Receivables had not been transferred hereunder and the
exercise by the Company of its rights hereunder shall not relieve the Transferor
from such obligations and (ii) pay when due any taxes, including without
limitation, any sales taxes payable in connection with the Receivables and their
creation and satisfaction. The Company shall not have any obligation or
liability with respect to any Receivable or related Contracts, nor shall it be
obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Transferor thereunder.
56

having the force of Law):
(i) shall subject any Indemnified Party to any tax, duty or
other charge with respect to this Agreement, the Transferred Interest, the

extended by, any Indemnified Party or shall impose on any Indemnified Party

advance funds under the Liquidity Provider Agreement or the credit support
provided by the Credit Support Provider or otherwise in respect of this
Agreement, the Transferred Interest or the Receivables; or

the Liquidity Provider Agreement or the Credit Support Agreement, by an amount
deemed by such Indemnified Party to be material, then, within ten (10) days
after demand by the Company, the Transferor shall pay to the Company such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Indemnified Party for such
increased cost or reduction.

regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in
the interpretation thereof by any Official Body, or any directive regarding
capital adequacy (in the case of any bank regulatory guideline, whether or not
having the force of law) of any such Official Body, has or would have the effect
of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Indemnified Party (or its
parent) as a conse-
65
quence of such Indemnified Party's obligations hereunder or with respect hereto
to a level below that which such Indemnified Party (or its parent) could have
achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into
consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed
by such Indemnified Party to be material, then from time to time, within ten

such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Indemnified Party (or
its parent) for such reduction.

which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle an
Indemnified Party to compensation pursuant to this Section. A notice by the
Company claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the

the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, the Company may use
any reasonable averaging and attributing methods.

the Company enters into agreements for the acquisition of interests in
receivables from one or more Other Transferors, the Company shall allocate the
liability for any amounts under this Section 8.2 ("Section 8.2 Costs") to the
Transferor and each Other Transferor; and provided, further, that if such
Section 8.2 Costs are attributable to the Transferor and not attributable to any
Other Transferor, the Transferor shall be solely liable for such Section 8.2
Costs or if such Section 8.2 Costs are attributable to Other Transferors and not
attributable to the Transferor, such Other Transferors shall be solely liable
for such Section 8.2 Costs.
SECTION 8.3 Other Costs, Expenses and Related Matters. (a) The
Transferor agrees, upon receipt of a written invoice, to pay or cause to be

representations and warranties in Sections 3.1(d) and 3.1(j), 3 days) of such
notice. The reconveyance price shall be paid by the Transferor to the Company
in immediately available funds on such 15th day (or 3rd day, if applicable) in

EXHIBIT 10.21
BORG-WARNER SECURITY CORPORATION
RETIREMENT SAVINGS EXCESS BENEFIT PLAN
(AS AMENDED AND RESTATED EFFECTIVE AS OF JANUARY 1, 1995)
1. Purpose of the Plan
-------------------
The Borg-Warner Security Corporation Retirement Savings Plan (the "RSP")
was established by Borg-Warner Security Corporation (the "Corporation") to
provide its employees with a method of long-term savings. The Borg-Warner
Security Corporation Retirement Savings Excess Benefit Plan (the "RSEBP") was
established to provide benefits to certain employees whose participation in and
benefits under the RSP were limited by provisions in the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), including, without limitation, Sections
401(a)(17), 401(k)(3), 401(m), 402(j) and 415 of the Code. Effective as of
January 1, 1995 the RSEBP was amended and restated.
2. Definitions
-----------
For purposes of this RSEBP, the use of terms defined in the RSP shall have
the same meaning when used herein, and the following terms, when used herein,
shall have the following meanings, unless, in either case, the context clearly
indicates otherwise.
2.01 Participant. The term "Participant" means any person for which a
Supplementary Company Retirement Account and/or Supplementary Employee
Retirement Account was maintained as of January 1, 1995.
2.02 Beneficiary. The term "Beneficiary" means the person, persons or a
trust, designated in writing by the Participant, to whom a distribution shall be
made in the event of his death prior to the full receipt of his interest under
the RSEBP.
2.03 Plan Year. The term "Plan Year" means the accounting year of the
RSP, which is maintained on a January 1 through December 31 basis.
2.04 Supplementary Company Retirement Account. The term "Supplementary
Company Retirement Account" means the account maintained for a Participant
adjusted as determined under Section 5 hereof.
2.05 Supplementary Employee Retirement Account. The term "Supplementary

2.06 Valuation Date. The term "Valuation Date" means the last day of each
calendar month and such other dates as so designated by the Committee.
3. Administration
--------------
This RSEBP shall be administered by a committee which may be the Employee
Benefits Committee established by the Corporation to administer the RSP (the
"Committee"). The Committee shall administer the RSEBP in a manner consistent
with the administration of the RSP as from time to time amended and in effect,
except that this RSEBP shall be administered as an unfunded plan which is not
intended to meet the qualification requirements of Section 401 of the Code. The
Committee shall have full power and authority to interpret and construe this
RSEBP and the Committee's administration, interpretations and construction
-2-
thereof, and actions thereunder, including the amount or recipient of any
payment to be made therefrom, shall be binding and conclusive on all persons for
all purposes.
4. Distribution of Benefits
------------------------
4.01 Except as provided herein, distributions from a Participant's
Supplementary Company Retirement Account and his Supplementary Employee
Retirement Account shall be made only when, and if, the Participant is entitled
to benefits under the RSP, and shall be made as determined by the Committee in
its sole and complete discretion.
4.02 No in-service withdrawals or Participant loans are available under
the RSEBP. The Committee, within its sole and complete discretion, is
empowered to accelerate the payment of a Participant's Supplementary Company
Retirement Account balance and his Supplementary Employee Retirement Account
balance, to the extent vested, to such Participant or his Beneficiary, whether
before or after the Participant's termination of service, in the event of
unanticipated emergencies caused by events beyond the control of the Participant
or his Beneficiary which would result in severe financial hardship to the
individual if early withdrawal were not permitted, with the amount of the early
withdrawal limited to the amount necessary to meet the emergency.
4.03 The Committee may also accelerate payments in the event of changes in
the tax laws or accounting principles adversely affecting the RSEBP and its
effect on the Corporation, the Participants or their Beneficiaries. Nothing
contained herein shall enable the Committee to accelerate payments because of
the financial condition of the Corporation.
4.04 Effective as of January 1, 1995, if the value of a Participant's
Supplemental Company Retirement Account and Supplemental Employee Retirement
Account, in the
-3-
aggregate as of December 31, 1994 was less than $5,000, the Committee in its
discretion can require that a lump sum distribution be made to the Participant
without his or her consent.
5. Investments
-----------
As of each Valuation Date, for each Participant, the Corporation shall
credit the Participant's Supplementary Company Retirement Account and
Supplementary Employee Retirement Account for the period ending on the Valuation
Date to reflect (i) earnings or expenses and recognized gains or losses of the
Investment Contracts Fund since the preceding Valuation Date and (ii) any
adjustments reflecting a revaluation in the total fair market value of the
Investment Contracts Fund that have been made by the Trustee under the RSP.
6. Participant's Rights
--------------------
6.01 All benefits payable under this RSEBP to or on behalf of Participants
who were employed by the Corporation shall be paid from the general assets of
the Corporation and all benefits payable to or on behalf of Participants who
were employed by any Company which has adopted this RSEBP shall be paid from the
general assets of such Company. The Corporation may, in its sole discretion,
establish a separate fund or account to make payments of benefits to a
Participant or his Beneficiary or Beneficiaries hereunder. If the Corporation
in its sole discretion, establishes such a fund or account, no Participant, his
Beneficiary or Beneficiaries, or any other person shall have, under any
circumstances, any interest whatever in any particular property or assets of the
Corporation by virtue of this RSEBP, and the rights of the Participant, his
Beneficiary or Beneficiaries or any other person who may claim a right to
receive benefits under this RSEBP shall be no greater than the rights of a
general unsecured creditor of the Corporation. The Participant shall not be
entitled to any payments
-4-
from the trust fund maintained under the RSP on the basis of any benefits to
which he may be entitled under this RSEBP.
6.02 Except as required for Federal income tax withholding purposes or
pursuant to a "qualified domestic relations order" under Section 401(a)(13) of
the Code, assignment of benefits under the RSEBP or their pledge or encumbrance
in any manner shall not be permitted or recognized under any circumstances, nor
shall such benefits be subject to attachment or other legal process for the
debts (including payments for alimony or support) of any Participant, former
Participant or Beneficiary. This Section shall not apply to any default or
indebtedness to the Corporation.
6.03 If the Committee shall find that a Participant, former Participant or
Beneficiary is unable to care for his affairs because of illness or accident, or
is a minor, or has died, the Committee may direct that any payment due him,
unless claim therefor shall have been made by a duly appointed legal
representative, shall be paid to his spouse, a child, a parent or other blood
relative or to a person with whom he resides, and any such payment so made shall
be in complete discharge of the liabilities of RSEBP therefor.
6.04 Subject to all applicable laws relating to unclaimed property, if the
Committee mails by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the last
known address of a Participant or Beneficiary, a notification that he is
entitled to a distribution hereunder, and if the notification is returned by the
United States Postal Service as being undeliverable because the addressee cannot
be located at the address indicated and if the Committee has no knowledge of
such Participant's or Beneficiary's whereabouts within 3 years from the date the
notification was mailed, or if within 3 years from the date the notification was
mailed to such
-5-
Participant or Beneficiary he does not respond thereto by informing the
Committee of his whereabouts, then, and in either of said events, upon the
December 31 coincident with or next succeeding the third anniversary of the
mailing of such notification, the undistributed amount in the Supplementary
Company Retirement Account of such Participant or Beneficiary shall be paid to
the person or persons who would have been entitled to take such share in the
event of the death of the Participant or Beneficiary whose whereabouts are
unknown, assuming that such death occurred as of the December 31 coincident with
or next succeeding the third anniversary of the mailing of such notification.
6.05 No Participant, former Participant or Beneficiary or any other person
shall have any interest in or right under the RSEBP in any part of the assets or
earnings held in the RSP Trust or in any other trust established by the
Corporation.
6.06 Whenever in the administration of the RSEBP action is required, such
action shall be uniform in nature as applied to all persons similarly situated,
and no such action shall be taken which shall discriminate in favor of Employees
who are officers, shareholders or highly compensated Employees.
6.07 Any action by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the RSEBP
may be evidenced by written instrument executed by any person authorized by the
Committee to take such action, and any fiduciaries shall be fully protected in
acting in accordance with any such written instrument received by them.
6.08 In case any provisions of this RSEBP shall be held unlawful or
invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the
remaining parts, and the RSEBP shall be construed and enforced as if the
unlawful or invalid provisions had never been inserted.

Retirement Account balance as of such date of amendment or discontinuance which
each Participant or his Beneficiary or Beneficiaries is receiving under this
RSEBP or, with respect to Participants who are in the employment of the
Corporation on such date, which each such Participant would have received as of
such date under this RSEBP if his employment had terminated as of the date of

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
The Company's protective services business is divided into four business units:
guard services, alarm services, armored services and courier services. The
Company's consolidated net service revenue increased 2% in 1994 and 9% in 1993.
The primary source of the 1994 increase was internal growth, while the primary
source of the 1993 revenue increase was acquisitions, principally in the guard
unit. Operating profit, which is pretax earnings before interest expense and
unallocated corporate expenses, decreased 30% in 1994 following a 4% increase
in 1993.
For several years competitive market conditions have limited the Company's
ability to increase prices. In 1994 each of the Company's units continued to
experience price pressure and higher direct costs, which has adversely affected
margins.
Historically, the Company has grown through acquisitions. In 1994 the price/
cost pressures facing the Company and the entire protective services industry
made acquisitions less attractive. While the Company will continue to pursue
acquisitions when attractive opportunities arise, each unit intends to focus on
internal growth through greater customer retention, expanded service offerings
and greater selling efforts. At the same time, each unit will continue its
efforts to reduce costs, including applying technology to improve customer
service.
Results of Operations
The following table sets forth the net service revenues and operating profit for
each unit for the three years ended December 31, 1994:

================================================================================
Guard services
Guard service revenue increased slightly in 1994, following a 9% increase in
1993. The 1994 increase was due to internal growth and improved customer
retention. The primary source of revenue growth in 1993 was acquisitions,
particularly the acquisition of certain assets of Security Bureau, Inc. in
December 1992.
Operating profit for the guard unit declined slightly from 1992 to 1994
as competitive market conditions placed downward pressure on prices and margins.
In certain geographic areas the unit is experiencing a contraction of the labor
market, which has increased direct costs through higher wages and increased
amounts of unbilled overtime. Because the market has constrained price
increases, the Company has not been able to pass on such cost increases to
customers and margins have declined.
14
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The guard unit was reorganized in February 1994 by combining the
administrative functions and establishing nine regional offices. The Company
expects that the guard market will remain competitive in 1995. The unit will
seek to increase revenue through customer retention and expanded service
offerings. The Company will seek to improve gross margins by selected price
increases and controlling costs, including through improved guard recruitment,
retention and training to control unbilled overtime costs. The Company will
continue to focus on technological developments aimed at improving performance
and customer retention.
Alarm services
Alarm service revenue decreased 3% in 1994, following a 5% increase in 1993.
Revenues from key commercial, banking and defense industry customers have
declined due to consolidation occurring in those industries. In addition,
customer cancellation rates were above targeted levels during the period. In
1993 revenue included a one-time supplemental billing. There were no special
billings in 1994.
Operating profit for the alarm unit declined 52% in 1994, following a 5%
increase in 1993. The 1994 decline was due to reduced revenues over a largely
fixed cost base. In addition, the Company has invested in systems to improve
service quality and other costs are increasing. Intense price competition has
also applied downward pressure on operating margins in 1994 and 1993.
The alarm unit was reorganized in November 1994 by establishing nine regional
offices. The Company expects that the regional offices will manage most of the
administrative functions of the alarm unit, while branch offices devote full
attention to sales and service issues. Because the commercial market has
constrained price increases for monitoring services, the alarm unit intends to
focus on customer retention to increase revenue and improve margins. Programs to
improve customer retention include pursuing technological advancements and
providing consistent, high quality, responsive service. The unit will attempt to
diversify its largely commercial customer base by continuing its efforts to
penetrate the residential security market.
Armored services
Armored service revenue increased 17% in 1994, following a 16% increase in 1993.
The 1994 increase resulted primarily from acquisitions, including the
acquisition of the assets of Shields Business Machines, Inc., an ATM servicer in
January, and from increased volume in the ATM service and cash management
operations. The traditional armored transport business has been adversely
affected by consolidation in the banking industry. To counter this, the unit has
expanded into additional areas of service, including ATM and cash management
services.
Operating profit for the armored unit declined 50% in 1994, following a
25% increase in 1993. During 1994 an escalating rate of violent attacks against
armored car and ATM servicing personnel increased security costs and insurance
premiums. The rate of cargo losses attributable to external theft in 1994
increased substantially from historical levels. In addition, increases in
direct labor costs and administrative expenses have eroded margins.
To offset the impact of the increased security and insurance costs resulting
from the higher cargo losses, the armored unit has increased prices and expanded
its programs to reduce cargo losses. Such programs include lowering the profile
of the unit's vehicles, increasing security training, improving security
measures through technology and route structure and eliminating certain high-
risk services. The unit's risk management department coordinates efforts with
local and federal law enforcement authorities to investigate all cargo losses.
In addition, the unit is attempting to reduce costs by integrating the field
operations of the ATM cash replenishment business with the armored cash delivery
business.
15
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Courier services
Courier service revenue decreased 4% in 1994, following a
6% increase in 1993. The 1994 decrease resulted primarily from the work
stoppage initiated by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters during the
third quarter. The unit's traditional business of transporting non-negotiable
financial documents among financial institutions also has been adversely
affected by consolidation in the banking industry. Such business is subject to
severe competitive price pressure. The unit has increased emphasis on
time-sensitive delivery of small packages and commodities.
Operating profit for the courier unit declined significantly in 1994,
following a 28% decline in 1993. The 1994 decline was due principally to the
reduced revenues and increased costs associated with the labor unrest, while the
1993 decline was due primarily to competitive price pressure. The courier unit
will seek to improve operating margins in future periods through increased
operating efficiencies and increased market penetration in the package delivery
business.
Foreign
The percentage of the Company's revenues in 1994 derived from non-U.S.
operations, primarily guard services, was 6% in 1994 and 1993, compared with 7%
in 1992. The Company operates in Canada, the United Kingdom and Colombia.
Operating margins also declined slightly from 1992 to 1994.
Other Earnings Factors
General corporate expenses increased to $26.5 million in 1994 from $4.8 million
in 1993, and were $37.3 million in 1992. Corporate expenses for 1994 include an
increase of approximately $25 million over 1993 related to non-cash accruals for
self-insurance reserves and, to a lesser extent, other corporate allowances. The
decrease in operating expenses in 1993 from 1992 was due to lower amortization
of excess purchase price over net assets acquired, greater corporate
headquarters expense reimbursement received from BW-Automotive and a favorable
settlement of a corporate liability.
Amortization of excess purchase price over net assets acquired was $16.1
million and $16.5 million in 1994 and 1993, respectively, down from $21.4
million in 1992 due to the non-recurring elimination of excess purchase price of
$250 million. This was recorded in the first quarter of 1993 to eliminate excess
purchase price which was not directly related to the protective services
operations.
Other income in 1994 included a gain of $9.9 million related to the sale of
trademarks and other rights to BW-Automotive. Gains on the sale of various
assets in 1993 and 1992 were $1.9 million and $6.5 million, respectively. Other
income in 1992 also included a gain of $7.5 million related to the collection of
a partially reserved receivable.
Interest expense in 1994 was $50.4 million compared with $51.5 million and
$47.9 million in 1993 and 1992, respectively. The improved terms resulting from
the Company's 1993 restructuring were offset by higher interest rates. In 1992
interest expense was net of an allocation to BW-Automotive based on its relative
capital investment to the Company's total capital investment.
The Company's effective tax rates have varied significantly from the federal
tax rate. Despite reported income before taxes, the Company recorded a net
income tax benefit in 1992 and 1994 primarily because of adjustments to deferred
income taxes of $30.6 million and $7.0 million, respectively. These adjustments
resulted from changes in the tax bases of certain assets and liabilities as a
result of sales and settlements. In 1993 the Company had a $22.2 million
provision for income taxes despite a pre-tax loss of $192.9 million primarily
due to a $250
16
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
million non-deductible charge to eliminate excess purchase price. Excluding the
impact of the foregoing items, the Company's effective tax rate would have been
29%, 39% and 40% in 1992, 1993 and 1994, respectively.
Discontinued Operations
The loss from discontinued operations in 1992 and 1993 reflects the results of
BW-Automotive operations up to the time of the Spin-Off in January 1993. These
results include an allocation of corporate headquarters and interest expenses.
Results for 1992 also include a pre-tax charge of approximately $28 million
related to excess capacity at various BW-Automotive facilities.
Extraordinary Items
Earnings for 1993 reflect a loss of $9.1 million, net of tax, from the early
extinguishment of $216.7 million principal amount of 13% Junior Subordinated
Discount Debentures and $15.2 million principal amount of 12.75% Senior
Subordinated Debentures. Earnings for 1992 reflect a $7.1 million loss, net of
tax, from the early extinguishment of $155 million principal amount of the
Company's 13% Junior Subordinated Discount Debentures and $58 million principal
amount of the Company's 14% Senior Subordinated Discount Debentures.
Cumulative Effect of Initial Application of
New Accounting Standards
The Company adopted SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions," effective January 1, 1993, and elected immediate
recognition of the $15 million obligation. The cumulative effect was a charge of
$8.3 million, net of tax.
In the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company changed the method of selecting
the rate used to discount the retained portion of insurance costs related to its
various deductible policies. The Company previously used a rate based on its
overall cost of capital. Consistent with the Securities and Exchange Commission
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 92, the rate was changed to a rate based on risk-
free monetary asset yields for securities with similar maturities. This change
resulted in a reduction in the discount rate from 10% to 4%. The cumulative
effect of this change was a charge of $9.4 million, net of tax.
Neither of the above changes in accounting had a material impact on earnings
from continuing operations in the respective years of implementation.
Impact of Recapitalization on Operations
The impact of the 1993 restructuring on the results of operations for 1992 and
1993 is reflected on a pro forma basis in the Pro Forma Financial Information
(Unaudited) contained in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. On a
pro forma basis, after making the adjustments for interest and amortization, as
well as the elimination of non-recurring gains and expenses, earnings before
taxes for 1992 would have been $46.9 million. Pro forma earnings before taxes
for 1993 were $57.1 million after removing the non-recurring elimination of
excess purchase price of $250.0 million.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Financial Condition and Liquidity
Current liabilities exceeded current assets at December 31, 1994 and 1993 due to
the sale of receivables with the proceeds used to reduce long-term debt. The
outstanding balance of sold receivables was $112 million and $124 million at
December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Receivables at December 31, 1993 also
included $10.7 million for refundable income taxes. The levels of receivables,
inventory and current liabilities are partly seasonal in nature and are
influenced by the timing of billings, collections and payrolls. The Company's
policy is to keep working capital at as low a level as is operationally feasible
to minimize related carrying costs.
During 1994, net cash provided by operating activities increased slightly to
$54.0 million from $52.3 million in 1993. The current year included a $3.2
million tax refund and a $22.0 million increase in receivables primarily due to
lower sales under the Company's receivable transfer facility. The prior year
reflected the settlement of certain liabilities (including an $8 million payment
relating to the Company's former Centaur operation) and costs associated with
the 1993 restructuring.
Historically, the Company's capital expenditures, principally for vehicles
and subscribers' installations, have been at a rate slightly in excess of
depreciation. Capital expenditures were $70.2 million, $68.8 million and $67.0
million in 1992, 1993 and 1994, respectively. Pursuant to the terms of the
Company's amended credit facilities, capital expenditures are limited to $55
million in 1995. The Company does not have any material commitments for capital
expenditures and believes that it will be able to continue to invest in its
business as required, within the limits set forth under its amended credit
facilities.
From time to time, the Company makes acquisitions of companies in the
protective services industry. Cash expenditures for businesses acquired (which
were not included in the Company's capital expenditures) were $34.7 million,
$4.8 million and $9.0 million in 1992, 1993 and 1994, respectively. While the
Company will continue to pursue acquisitions when attractive opportunities
arise, it intends to focus on internal growth through greater customer
retention, expanded service offerings and greater selling efforts.
The Company expects that continuing operations, together with existing credit
facilities and replacements thereof, will generate sufficient cash to fund
current operating requirements and capital expenditures.
To avoid potential non-compliance with the covenants contained in it
revolving credit and letter of credit facilities resulting from 1994 financial
performance, the Company has obtained waivers and amendments. In June 1994 the
Company amended such credit facilities, principally to reduce pricing and amend
covenants related to leverage, fixed charge coverage and net worth. In December
1994 the Company negotiated waivers to certain financial covenants under such
facilities. In March 1995 the Company again amended such facilities, principally
to change pricing and amend covenants related to earnings, leverage, fixed
charge coverage, net worth, capital expenditures and acquisitions.
18
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
In November 1994 the Company replaced its previous $150 million receivables
purchase facility with a $130 million receivables transfer facility. The new
facility provided more favorable pricing than the prior facility and altered,
among other things, eligibility and reserve requirements. In connection with the
renegotiation of financial covenants required to be maintained by such facility,
the Company has agreed to increase reserve requirements and certain other
changes. In addition, the maturity date of such facility has been changed to
September 30, 1995 from November 1997. The Company has begun discussions with
other financial institutions concerning the replacement of the existing accounts
receivable facility. Any amendment or replacement of such facility will require
the consent of the Company's lenders under its amended credit facilities.
The Company anticipates that the $100 million principal amount of 8% notes
due 1996 will require refinancing. The Company has conducted preliminary
discussions concerning borrowings under private or public debt facilities to
refinance such debt.
Although there can be no assurance, the Company expects that it will be able
to replace its accounts receivable facility and refinance its outstanding 8%
notes.
The Company believes that the various asserted claims and litigation in which
it is currently involved will not materially affect its financial position or
future operating results, although no assurance can be given with respect to the
ultimate outcome for any such claim or litigation. The Company believes that it
has established adequate provisions for litigation liabilities in its financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These
provisions include both legal fees and possible outcomes of legal proceedings.
Further information concerning such claims and litigation is contained in Note 6
of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Borg-Warner Security Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statments
Note 1 Summary of Accounting Policies
The following paragraphs briefly describe significant accounting policies.
Certain 1992 and 1993 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1994
presentation. Prior to an initial public offering in January 1993, the name of
the Company was changed from Borg-Warner Corporation to Borg-Warner Security
Corporation.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include all significant subsidiaries. In
January 1993 the Company distributed to its shareholders ("Spin-Off") all of the
stock of Borg-Warner Automotive, Inc. ("BW-Automotive"). Therefore, BW-
Automotive is treated as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.
(See Note 3).
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consists primarily of cash and certificates of deposit
with original maturities of three months or less.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost of substantially all
inventories is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Property, plant and equipment and depreciation
Property, plant and equipment is valued at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and renewals of relatively minor items are
generally charged to expense as incurred. Renewals of significant items are
capitalized.
Depreciation is computed generally on a straight-line basis over the
estimated useful lives of related assets. The costs of alarm subscribers'
installations are capitalized and depreciated over useful lives ranging from
8-15 years.
Income taxes
Income taxes are determined using the liability method, under which deferred tax
assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the
financial accounting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax
assets or liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the
currently enacted tax rate expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in
which the deferred tax asset or liability is expected to be settled or realized.
(See Note 11).
Retirement benefit plans
A number of eligible salaried and hourly employees participate in contributory
or noncontributory defined benefit or defined contribution plans. Funding policy
is based upon independent actuarial valuations and is within the limits required
by ERISA for U.S. defined benefit plans.
The benefits provided to certain salaried employees covered under various
defined benefit plans are based on years of service and final average pay and
utilize the projected unit credit method for cost allocation. The benefits
provided to certain hourly employees under various defined benefit plans are
based on years of service and utilize the unit credit method for cost
allocation.
A number of employees in the U.S. participate in defined contribution
plans. Depending on the plan, contributions by the Company or its subsidiaries
sponsoring the plans are based on the employees' salary, age, years of service,
and/or a fixed schedule. These contributions are charged to earnings as they
are made to the various plans.
Postretirement benefits
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
Pensions" ("SFAS 106") and elected immediate recognition of the $15.0 million
obligation and recorded a charge of $8.3 million (net of the related income tax
benefit of $5.1 million) or $0.37 per share to reflect the cumulative effect of
the change in accounting for periods prior to 1993. This new standard requires
that the expected cost of retiree health benefits be charged to expense during
the years that the employees render service rather than the Company's past
practice of recognizing these costs on a cash basis.
24
Borg-Warner Security Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued
Casualty insurance liabilities
The Company has accrued a discounted liability for the retained portion of
insurance costs related to its various deductible policies. This insurance
liability is determined by the Company based on claims filed and an estimate of
claims incurred but not yet reported. Consistent with Securities and Exchange
Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin Number 92, in 1993 the Company changed the
method of selecting the discount rate from an overall cost of capital based rate
to a rate based on risk-free monetary asset yields for securities with similar
maturities. This change resulted in a reduction in the discount rate from 10% to
4% and a change in method of estimating the future cash flows related to this
obligation. The cumulative effect was a charge to earnings of $9.4 million (net
of applicable taxes of $6.0 million) or $0.40 per share. This amount, included
in "Cumulative effect of initial application of new accounting standards" in the
Statement of Operations, was recorded in the fourth quarter of 1993. This
accounting change did not have a material impact on earnings from continuing
operations. In 1994 the discount rate used to value the future obligation was
increased to 7%.
Amortization of excess purchase price over net assets acquired
Excess purchase price over net assets acquired is being amortized on a straight-
line basis over five to forty years, with the majority being amortized over
forty years. The Company periodically reviews its operations to determine
whether there has been a diminution in value of its excess purchase price over
net assets acquired. If the review indicates a decline in the carrying value,
the Company would adjust the amortization accordingly.
Intercompany allocations and transactions with BW-Automotive
Interest expense through the Spin-Off date has been allocated to the
discontinued BW-Automotive operations on the basis of BW-Automotive's relative
capital investment. Interest and taxes paid as shown on the Consolidated
Statement of Cash Flows include the amounts related to both the continuing
operations and discontinued BW-Automotive operations. Costs incurred at
corporate headquarters in 1992 have been charged to BW-Automotive on the basis
of a calculation of the estimated cost incurred related solely to the BW-
Automotive operations. Such cost was charged to BW-Automotive in 1993 and 1994
based on a service agreement with the Company. Income taxes have been allocated
to the BW-Automotive operations based on a calculation of the BW-Automotive
operations' relative share of the combined operations' income taxes. To the
extent the BW-Automotive operations operated at a loss, the tax benefit of such
a loss was limited to the amount offset by the profits for the rest of the
Company for that year. In those taxing jurisdictions in which the BW-Automotive
operations operate independent of the Company's other units, taxes have been
calculated independently on such operations. The Company and BW-Automotive have
entered into a tax sharing agreement which calls for BW-Automotive to pay the
Company for any operating loss carryforward apportioned to it as part of the
Spin-Off at such time as the benefits related to such carryforward are realized
by BW-Automotive.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized at the time services are provided. In certain
circumstances this can result in revenue recognition prior to customer billing
and revenue deferral from advance billings.
Earnings per common share
Earnings per common share are based on average outstanding common shares and
common share equivalents. Common share equivalents recognize the dilutive
effects of common shares that may be issued in the future upon exercise of
certain stock options.

==============================================================
In November 1994, the Company replaced its previous $150 million receivables
purchase facility with a $130 million receivables transfer facility expiring
September 1995. The outstanding balance of receivables sold to the transfer
facility at December 31, 1994 was $112 million, compared with $124 million sold
at December 31, 1993. Receivables are sold without recourse to the Company.
Selling, general and administrative expenses include provisions for losses on
receivables of $4.4 million in 1992, $3.7 million in 1993, and $5.5 million in
1994. Receivables are recorded at expected realizable value, net of allowances.
Accumulated amortization related to capital leases amounted to $23.5 million
at December 31, 1993 and $15.6 million at December 31, 1994. Accumulated
amortization related to excess of purchase price over net assets acquired
amounted to $75.3 million at December 31, 1993 and $78.5 million at December 31,
1994.
Trade payables include checks outstanding in excess of bank deposits in
the Company's central disbursement accounts, since arrangements with the banks
do not call for reimbursement until checks are presented for payment. Such
amounts were $3.8 million at December 31, 1993 and $18.3 million at December
31, 1994.
The non-current portion of the casualty insurance liability, included in other
long-term liabilities, was $32.8 million and $44.2 million at December 31, 1993
and 1994, respectively. The total discounted insurance accrual, including the
portion reflected in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, was $73.3 million
and $88.1 million at December 31, 1993 and 1994, respectively. The estimated
aggregate undiscounted insurance liability was $81.0 million and $99.6 million
at December 31, 1993 and 1994, respectively.

Borg-Warner Security Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued
Note 3-Discontinued Operations
On January 27, 1993 all of the outstanding common stock of BW-Automotive was
distributed to the Company's stockholders. Following the distribution, the
Company does not have any operations apart from the protective services
business. Therefore, the remaining $250 million of excess of purchase price over
net assets acquired not directly attributed to the protective services business
was written off as a charge to earnings in the first quarter of 1993.
BW-Automotive has been treated as discontinued in the consolidated financial
statements for all periods presented, and previously reported results have been
restated. Net revenues for previously consolidated BW-Automotive operations were
$926.0 million and $66.5 million for 1992 and 1993, respectively. Net losses
from the discontinued BW-Automotive operations were $12.1 million and $1.5
million, for 1992 and 1993, respectively. The revenues and net loss for 1993 are
for the period from January 1 to January 27, 1993.
BW-Automotive earnings reflect allocated interest of $44.8 million and $3.1
million in 1992 and 1993, respectively. BW-Automotive income tax expense of $2.7
million for 1992 and a $0.4 million benefit in 1993 have been calculated based
on BW-Automotive's share of combined operations and participation in
consolidated returns. BW-Automotive earnings also reflect a charge for costs
incurred at corporate headquarters of $4.2 million in 1992. This charge was
based on the estimated costs incurred related solely to the BW-Automotive
operations.
The Company and BW-Automotive have entered into agreements to provide for the
allocation of certain corporate overhead expenses. During 1993 and 1994, BW-
Automotive paid the Company $8.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively, for
office space and services rendered under the agreements. BW-Automotive also paid
the Company $1 million in 1993 under a Trademark and Trade Name License
Agreement. In 1994 BW-Automotive paid $10 million to the Company for the
purchase of certain trademarks and other rights. In 1993 the Company paid BW-
Automotive $1.2 million under a tax sharing agreement related to settlement of
1992 federal income tax liabilities.

Note 5-Notes Payable and Long-Term Debt
The following is a summary of notes payable and long-term debt which reflects
all borrowings of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Bank borrowings (at an average rate of
4.4% in 1993 and 5.4% in 1994) $ -- $119.7 $ -- $88.0
Bank revolving commitment loan
due through 1999 (at an average rate of
6.9% in 1993 and 7.6% in 1994) -- 65.0 -- 105.2

of 9.5% in 1993 and 9.2% in 1994) 8.9 16.8 9.2 13.0
91/8% senior subordinated notes (face
amount of $150 million due 2003) -- 148.9 -- 149.0
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total notes payable and long-term debt $10.7 $446.8 $14.5 $454.0
====================================================================================================
Maturities of long-term debt, including unamortized discount of $3.5 million,
are as follows: 1996, $118.1 million; 1997, $55.3 million; 1998, $87.6 million;
1999, $43.0 million; and after 1999, $153.5 million.
At December 31, 1994, the Company had a $190 million bank revolving credit
facility, available until 1999. The committed amount under this facility reduces
semi-annually during the remaining commitment period. Available future
commitments at December 31 are as follows: 1995, $166 million; 1996, $138
million; 1997, $95 million; and 1998, $43 million. Unused commitments at
December 31, 1994 were $84.8 million. Included in long-term debt at December 31,
1994 is $38.0 million of borrowings under short-term bank lines which are
supported by the unutilized portion of the revolving credit facility and are
therefore classified as long-term debt.
Interest under the revolving credit facility is charged at various prime-and
LIBOR-based interest rate options. Compensating cash balances are not required
but facility fees and commitment fees are paid under the revolving credit
agreement.
The revolving credit facility contains numerous financial and operating
covenants including, among others, covenants requiring the Company to maintain
certain financial ratios and restricting its ability to incur additional
indebtedness, to create or permit to exist certain liens or to pay dividends. In
addition, the Company pledged the stock of certain of its subsidiaries under
this agreement.
In June 1994, the Company amended its revolving credit and letter of credit
facilities, principally to reduce pricing and amend covenants related to
leverage, fixed charge coverage and net worth tests. In December 1994, the
Company negotiated waivers to certain financial covenants under its credit
facilities. There was no impact to the Company's liquidity as a result of the
revised covenant limits, and the Company was in compliance with all applicable
covenants at December 31, 1994. In March 1995, the Company amended its credit
facilities principally to change pricing and to amend covenants related to
earnings, leverage, fixed charge coverage, net worth, capital expenditures and
acquisitions.
In May 1993, the Company issued $150 million principal amount of 91/8% senior
subordinated debentures due 2003, discounted to yield 91/4%. Interest is payable
semi-annually. These notes are unsecured and subordinated as to right of payment
to other borrowings. The notes may be redeemed on or after May 1, 1998 at
various premiums.
28
Borg-Warner Security Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued
In 1993, a net of tax loss of $9.1 million was realized as an extraordinary
item. This loss related to the redemption of $216.7 million principal amount of
13% Junior Subordinated Discount Debentures and $15.2 million principal amount
of 12-3/4% Senior Subordinated Debentures.
A net of tax loss of $7.1 million was realized as an extraordinary item in
1992 related to the redemption of $155.0 million principal amount of 13% Junior
Subordinated Discount Debentures and $58.2 million principal amount of 14%
Senior Subordinated Discount Debentures.
Note 6-Contingent Liabilities
The Company's discontinued property and casualty insurance subsidiary
("Centaur") ceased writing insurance in 1984 and has been operating under
rehabilitation since September 1987. Rehabilitation is a process supervised by
the Illinois Director of Insurance to attempt to compromise claim liabilities at
an aggregate level that is not in excess of Centaur's assets. In rehabilitation,
Centaur's assets are currently being used to satisfy claim liabilities under
direct insurance policies written by Centaur. Any remaining assets will be
applied to Centaur's obligations to other insurance companies under reinsurance
contracts. If all of Centaur's obligations are not satisfied through
rehabilitation, it is possible that satisfaction could be sought from the
Company for Centaur's liabilities.
The foregoing has resulted in one pending lawsuit against the Company, certain
of its current and former subsidiaries, and directors and officers of certain
current and former subsidiaries for recovery of alleged damages incurred because
of Centaur's failure to satisfy its reinsurance obligations. The lawsuit seeks
an aggregate of $24 million for current losses, $66 million for future losses
and $270 million for punitive damages. The Company believes that any damages for
failure to satisfy reinsurance obligations are solely the responsibility of
Centaur and that the resolution of the lawsuit relating to Centaur, including
the Company's indemnification obligations to certain former officers and
directors, will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position or
future operating results; however, no assurance can be given as to the ultimate
outcome with respect to such lawsuit.
The Company and certain of its current and former subsidiaries have been
identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and certain state
environmental agencies as potentially responsible parties ("PRPs") at several
hazardous waste disposal sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act ("Superfund") and equivalent state laws and, as
such, may be liable for the cost of cleanup and other remedial activities at
these sites. Responsibility for cleanup and other remedial activities at a
Superfund site is typically shared among PRPs based on an allocation formula.
The Company believes that none of these matters individually or in the
aggregate will have a material adverse effect on its financial position or
future operating results, generally either because the maximum potential
liability at a site is not large or because liability will be shared with other
PRPs, although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome
of any such liability. Based on its estimate of allocations of liability among
PRPs, the probability that other PRPs, many of whom are large, solvent public
companies, will fully pay the costs allocated to them, currently available
information concerning the scope of contamination at such sites, estimated
remediation costs at such sites, estimated legal fees and other factors, the
Company has aggregate amount of approximately $11 million (relating to
environmental matters with respect to discontinued operations of the Company).
If any environmental liability claim relating to the Company's former chemical
and plastics business is made, the Company is indemnified by the purchaser of
such business, General Electric Company. Since the disposition, the Company has
notified General Electric Company of various claims made with respect to the
Company's former chemical and plastics business and General Electric Company has
assumed all of such claims and has not contested its indemnification
obligations. There is no dollar limitation on the General Electric Company's
indemnification obligations and
29
Borg-Warner Security Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued
there are no other material limitations or exclusions with respect thereto. If
any environmental liability claim relating to the operations of the Company's
discontinued automotive subsidiary is made, the Company will be indemnified by
such former subsidiary.
The Company believes that the various asserted claims and litigation in which
it is involved will not materially affect its financial position or future
operating results, although no assurance can be given with respect to the
ultimate outcome of any such claim or litigation.
The Company has guaranteed borrowings of $2.0 million of affiliates and
discontinued operations as of December 31, 1994.
Note 7-Retirement Benefits
The Company has various defined benefit and defined contribution plans which
cover eligible employees.
Retirement benefit expense amounted to $4.0 million, $4.8 million and $5.8
million in 1992, 1993 and 1994, respectively. This expense includes
postretirement life insurance and medical benefits of $1.0 million, $0.4 million
and $0.2 million for 1992, 1993 and 1994, respectively. Also included are
defined contribution plan expenses of $1.6 million, $1.4 million and $1.6
million in 1992, 1993 and 1994, respectively.
The following table sets forth the funded status of the defined benefit plans:

Borg-Warner Security Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued
The Company's assumptions used as of December 31, 1992, 1993 and 1994 in
determining the pension cost and pension liability shown above were as
follows:
(percent) 1992 1993 1994
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Discount rate 8.5 7.5 8.5
Rate of salary progression 4.5 4.0 4.0
Long-term rate of return on assets 9.5-10 9.5-10 9.5
The Company also has postretirement benefits covering certain existing and
former employees, including employees of certain businesses which have been
divested by the Company. The Company adopted SFAS 106 on January 1, 1993, which
resulted in an after-tax charge of $8.3 million and is included on the
Statement of Operations under the caption "Cumulative effect of initial
application of new accounting standards." In 1993, SFAS 106 did not have a
material impact on the Company's results from continuing operations. The
liabilities for these benefits as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 are $12.9
million and $14.7 million, respectively, and are included in "Other long-term
liabilities." The discount rate used in determining this liability was 8.5% and
assumed medical expense increases of 9.5% per year for 1995 grading to 5.5% per
year by 1999.
Note 8--Stock Options and Management
Stock Purchases
Stock Option Plan
The Company has two plans which authorize the grant of options to purchase
3,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. All options granted to date
carry exercise prices ranging from $5.00 to $21.19 per share. These prices
correspond to the fair market value (as defined in the plans) of the Company's
common stock at the time of grant.
In 1992, 1993 and 1994 there were no options canceled or converted.
Common shares under option for the years ended December 31, 1992, 1993 and
1994 are summarized as follows:
Number of Shares Aggregate Option Price
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(shares in thousands, dollars in millions) 1992 1993 1994 1992 1993 1994
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Forfeited (81) (49) (108) (0.9) (0.7) (1.8)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shares under option at end
of period 1,339 1,472 1,843 $13.9 $19.9 $26.7
===============================================================================================
Options exercisable 954 907 881
=====================================================================
Shares available for future grants 8 172 186
=====================================================================
Of the 1,843,465 options outstanding at December 31, 1994, 880,989 are presently
exercisable and the remaining 962,476 will vest over the next three-year period
based upon periods of employment.
In connection with the Spin-Off, each outstanding option was exchanged for (i)
an adjusted option to purchase the same number of post-Spin-Off shares of common
stock at a price equal to 50% of the pre-Spin-Off exercise price, and (ii) an
option to purchase the same number of shares of common stock of BW-Automotive at
a price equal to 50% of the pre-Spin-Off exercise price. Thus, the exercise
price of an option held prior to the Spin-Off equals the sum of the exercise
prices of the two options for which it was exchanged.
Notes Receivable--Management
Stock Purchase
Included among the Company's equity holders are members of management. Purchases
of shares by management have been funded in part by loans from the Company.
These loans, which totalled approximately $1.8 million at December 31, 1993 and
$1.0 million at December 31, 1994, bear interest of approximately 6% and are
offset against stockholders' equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at such
dates.

Note 9-Business Segment Information
The Company's operations have been classified into four business segments:
guard, alarm, armored and courier services. The guard segment provides contract
security officers to patrol client facilities, monitor electronic systems and
control public and employee access. The alarm segment primarily designs,
installs, monitors and services sophisticated electronic security systems and
fire and intrusion detection systems. The armored segment transports currency,
securities and other valuables. Additionally, this segment provides full-service
automated teller machine operations and cash management services such as deposit
verification and currency processing. The courier segment provides
transportation of time-sensitive, non-negotiable financial documents and small
packages.
Intersegment sales are not significant. Operating profit by business segment
represents total revenues less operating expenses, depreciation and
amortization, and excludes interest income, interest expense, income taxes and
net unallocated corporate expenses.
Identifiable assets are those assets employed in each segment's operation,
including an allocated value to each segment of cost in excess of net assets
acquired. Corporate assets consist principally of cash and cash equivalents,
certain corporate receivables and other assets.
Summarized financial information by business segment for 1992, 1993 and 1994

Note 13--Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of
financial instrument are as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents, receivables, notes payable and accounts payable
The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of
these instruments.
Long-term debt
The carrying amounts of the Company's bank borrowings under its short-term bank
lines and revolving credit agreement approximate fair value because the interest
rates are reset periodically to reflect current market rates. The fair values of
the Company's other long-term debt either approximate carrying value or are
estimated based on quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the
current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities.
The carrying amounts and fair values of long-term debt at December 31, 1993
and 1994 are as follows:
December 31,
---------------------------------------------------------------
(millions of dollars) 1993 1994
---------------------------------------------------------------
Carrying amount $430.0 $441.0
Fair value 440.1 419.3
Letters of credit
The Company utilizes third-party letters of credit to guarantee certain self-
insurance activities. The letters of credit reflect fair value as a condition of
their underlying purpose and are subject to fees competitively determined in the
marketplace. The contract value/fair value of the letters of credit at December
31, 1993 and 1994 was $144.1 million and $130.7 million, respectively. To
monitor the counterparties' ability to perform, these letters of credit are only
executed with major financial institutions, and full performance is anticipated.

Note 15-Pro Forma Financial Information (Unaudited)
The following pro forma financial information of the Company consists of Pro
Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31,
1993 and 1992. There is no Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet
because the Consolidated Balance Sheet already reflects all transactions for
which pro forma adjustments have been made. The Pro Forma Consolidated Statement
of Operations for the year ended December 31, 1993 was prepared to illustrate
the results of operations in the absence of the non-recurring elimination of
excess purchase price. There is no adjustment to interest expense because the
additional interest paid for the period prior to the Spin-Off was offset by the
allocation of interest to the discontinued automotive operations. There is no
tax impact because the elimination of excess purchase price was not deductible
for federal income tax purposes. The Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of
Operations for the year ended December 31, 1992 was prepared to illustrate the
estimated effects of (a) the Spin-Off and resulting elimination of amortization
of excess purchase price not directly attributed to the protective services
business, (b) the adjustment to interest expense and finance charges for the
repayment of debt from the proceeds of the Baker Hughes transaction, the effect
of the Spin-Off, the public offering and the refinancing of bank indebtedness,
(c) adjustment of corporate expenses to reflect the Company on a stand-alone
basis, (d) elimination of certain non-recurring transactions, principally
related to asset dispositions, and (e) the tax effect of the foregoing. Average
shares outstanding for both periods were adjusted as if the shares had been
issued at the beginning of the periods. The Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of
Operations for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992 were prepared as if
such transactions had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented. The
historical information contained in such statements reflects the treatment of
BW-Automotive as a discontinued operation. The adjustments are based upon
currently available information and upon certain assumptions that the Company
believes are reasonable in the circumstances. The pro forma information does not
purport to represent what the Company's results of operations would actually
have been if such transactions had occurred on such date or at the beginning of
periods indicated or to project the Company's results of operations at any
future date or for any future period.
The Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations and accompanying notes
should be read in conjunction with the historical Consolidated Financial
Statements appearing elsewhere in this report.

Independent Auditors' Report
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Borg-Warner Security Corporation
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Borg-Warner Security
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1994 and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Borg-Warner Security Corporation
and subsidiaries at December 31, 1993 and 1994 and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1994 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 1, the Company changed its method of accounting for
postretirement benefits other than pensions and the method of selecting the
discount rate to discount its casualty insurance liabilities in 1993.
