The Audit and Ethics Committee recommends to the Board the selection by the
shareholders at their annual meeting of a firm of independent public
accountants. In addition, the Committee confers with the Company's independent
public accountants to review the plan and scope of their proposed audit as well
as their findings and recommendations upon the completion of the audit. The
Committee meets with the independent public accountants and with appropriate

Company. In addition, the Committee is responsible for the oversight of the
Company's stock option plans for employees and similar plans which may be
maintained from time to time by the Company and has authority to grant options
under the Company's 1988 Stock Option Plan. The Committee coordinates with the
appropriate financial, legal and administrative personnel of the Company, as
well as outside experts retained in connection with the administration of these
plans. The Compensation and Benefits Committee currently consists of Mr.
Spilman, as Chairman, and Messrs. Ackerman, Anton and Zimmerman, none of whom is
an officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and met four
times during 1994.
The Nominating Committee recommends to the Board nominees for election as
directors and as senior executive officers of the Company. In addition, the
Committee reviews the performance of incumbent directors in determining whether
to recommend them to the Board for renomination. Directors are selected on the
basis of recognized achievements and their ability to bring expertise and
experience to the deliberations of the Board. The Nominating Committee also
administers the Directors' Charitable Award Program. The Nominating Committee
currently consists of Mr. Zimmerman, as Chairman, Messrs. Broadhead and Craig
and Dr. Haywood, none of whom is an officer or employee of the Company or any of
its subsidiaries, and met three times during 1994. For information concerning

an officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and met four
times during 1994.
The Pension Committee is responsible for the oversight of the Company's

general oversight responsibility for pension plans maintained by foreign and
other subsidiaries of the Company. The Committee has authority to adopt
amendments to the Company's Pension-Retirement Plan, Pension Equalization Plan
and Savings-Investment Plan. In carrying out these responsibilities the
Committee coordinates with the appropriate financial, legal and administrative
personnel of the Company, including the Administrative Committee, as well as

The Pension Committee currently consists of Mr. Stone, as Chairman, and Messrs.

Company or any of its subsidiaries. The Pension Committee met four times during
1994.
During 1994 all incumbent directors attended at least 75% of the total
number of meetings of the Board of Directors and of the committees of the Board
on which they served, except for Mr. Marshall. Average attendance at those
meetings was approximately 91%.
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
Each non-employee director is paid an annual retainer fee of $18,000, an
attendance fee of $1,100 per day for each meeting of the Board and of each
committee of the Board and a fee of $1,100 per day for rendering any special
services to the Company at the request of the Chairman of the Board. A director
may elect to defer receipt of his fees to future years and to receive interest
thereon, compounded quarterly, at the prime commercial lending rate of Morgan
Guaranty Trust Company of New York.
Each non-employee director with at least five years of service receives a
pension, if he retires at or after age 72, does not stand for reelection because
he will attain age 72 during the ensuing term, retires prior to age 72 but after
age 65 for reasons such as health or relocation or retires at any time after a
change in control (as defined). Such a director with five years of service
receives a pension equal to 50% of the annual retainer fee in effect at the time
of his retirement; for each additional year of service a director receives an
additional 10% of such retainer fee until his retirement income equals the
annual retainer fee in effect at the time of his retirement.
Under the Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan, adopted by the
shareholders in 1988 and amended by the shareholders in 1993, an option grant
for 10,000 shares of Services Stock and 2,000 shares of Minerals Stock, at
option prices of 100% of fair market value on the date of grant is made to each
non-employee director upon his election as a director. Each option is
exercisable immediately as to one third of the shares and as to an additional
one third on the first and second anniversaries of the grant date. Pursuant to
the 1993 amendment, the Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan provides for
automatic annual grants of options for 1,000 shares of Services Stock and 200
shares of Minerals Stock at 100% of fair market value on the date of grant to
each Non-Employee Director on each July 1 so long as the plan remains in effect
(the first such grants were made on August 1, 1993); cash retainer fees were
reduced in connection with the approval of such amendment. Each such option will
become exercisable six months from the date of grant. Each option granted under
the Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan constitutes a nonqualified stock
option under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
3
<PAGE>
amended (the 'Code'), and terminates ten years from the date of grant. The
Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan expires May 11, 1998.
Under the Directors' Charitable Award Program the Company will contribute
$1,100,000 on behalf of each participating director after such director's death.
Of that amount, $100,000 will be donated to one or more tax-exempt organizations
designated by the Company, and $1,000,000 will be donated in accordance with the
director's recommendations to eligible educational institutions and charitable
organizations. Each of the Company's non-employee directors and Mr. Farrell
currently participate in the Directors' Charitable Award Program. The Company is
the owner and beneficiary of life insurance policies insuring the lives of the
participating directors. Premiums paid in 1994 in respect of such policies
totaled an aggregate of approximately $361,007.

with respect thereto of $23,750, $3,500, $4,000, $4,750, and $2,000,
respectively, and both of such amounts were converted into 940.2217 Services
Units and 1029.0295 Minerals Units, in the case of Mr. Farrell; 259.9653
Minerals Units, in the case of Mr. Spindler; 376.0887 Services Units, in the
case of Mr. Rogliano; 253.3650 Services Units and 69.3241 Minerals Units, in
the case of Mr. Lennon; and 303.2929 Minerals Units, in the case of Mr.
Hartough, in each case at the rates at which Units were credited under the
Deferral of Cash Incentive Payments portion of the Program. In addition,
dividend credits of 49.2438 Services Units and 96.2962 Minerals Units, in
the case of Mr. Farrell; 12.5212 Services Units and 4.3302 Minerals Units,
in the case of Mr. Marshall; 2.8744 Services Units and 3.3848 Minerals
Units, in the case of Mr. Rogliano; 4.9176 Services Units and 5.7600
Minerals Units, in the case of Mr. Lennon; and 6.7415 Services Units and
19.3530 Minerals Units, in the case of Mr. Hartough, were made to such
persons' accounts during 1994 in respect of cash dividends that were paid on
the Company's Services Stock and Minerals Stock during 1994 based on the
number of Units credited to such accounts on the payment dates for such
dividends. Under the Program, distributions with respect to the Services
Units and the Minerals Units are to be made in shares of Services Stock and
the Minerals Stock, respectively, on the basis of one share for each Unit
(with cash paid for fractional Units), but the aggregate value of the shares
so distributed may not be less than the aggregate amount of the cash
incentive payment deferred and the related dividends in respect of which
such Units were initially credited. Such distributions will be made upon
termination of employment or earlier upon election made more than one year
prior to distribution.
(d) Options granted under the 1988 Stock Option Plan. Options granted to each
executive officer prior to approval of the Services Stock Proposal by the
shareholders at the 1993 Annual Meeting were converted to options for
Services Stock and/or Minerals Stock on July 26, 1993 on the basis of one
share of Services Stock for each share of former Common Stock and one fifth
of one share of Minerals Stock for each share of former Common Stock, except
in the case of Mr. Spindler, whose options were converted on the basis of
1.215 shares of Minerals Stock for each share of former Common Stock.
(e) Mr. Spindler resigned as President and Chief Executive Officer of Pittston
Coal Company and Senior Vice President of the Company on December 31, 1994.
(f) Mr. Marshall resigned as Chief Financial Officer of the Company on February
9, 1994. He remains the Vice Chairman of the Board and a director of the
Company.

(*) In February 1994 the Company accelerated the vesting of Mr. Marshall's
options for 34,000 shares of Services Stock and 9,850 shares of Minerals
Stock such that such options became exercisable on April 15, 1994.
PENSION-RETIREMENT PLAN
The Company maintains a noncontributory Pension-Retirement Plan (the
'Pension Plan') covering, generally, full-time employees of the Company and
participating subsidiaries who are not covered by a collective bargaining
agreement. The Pension Plan provides that an eligible employee upon retirement
at age 65 will receive an annual benefit equivalent to 2.1% of average salary
for his or her 36 consecutive months of highest earnings multiplied by the
number of years of service not to exceed 25 years, plus 1% of such average
salary multiplied by the number of years of service in excess
7
<PAGE>
of 25 years, less 0.55% of the average Social Security taxable wage base for the
relevant period provided in the Pension Plan multiplied by his or her years of
service not to exceed 35. Salary under the Pension Plan means regular
compensation, including commissions, bonuses, overtime and premium pay but
excluding any living or other expense allowances. An eligible employee who has
completed ten years of Vesting Service may retire at any time after reaching his
or her 55th birthday and become entitled to receive an actuarially reduced
pension. Employees may elect to have their annual pension benefits paid in the
form of a straight life annuity, joint and survivor annuity or period certain
annuity. The Pension Plan also provides certain disability retirement benefits
and death benefits. Accrued Plan benefits are vested upon employees' completion
of five years of Vesting Service. The Code limits the amount of pensions which
may be paid under federal income tax qualified plans. The Company's Board of
Directors has adopted a Pension Equalization Plan under which the Company will
make additional payments so that the total amount received by each person
affected by the Code limitations is the same as would otherwise have been
received under the Pension Plan. The Company has reserved the right to terminate
or amend the Pension Plan or the Pension Equalization Plan at any time.
The table below illustrates the estimated annual benefits payable upon
retirement at age 65 under the Pension and Pension Equalization Plans to
officers and other eligible employees in various classifications as to average
salary and years of service. The table does not reflect reductions on account of
the Social Security taxable wage base referred to above.

</TABLE>
Such amounts are based on the assumption that the employee will be in the
Company's employ until normal retirement date (age 65), that the Pension and
Pension Equalization Plans will continue in effect without change and that
payments will be made on a straight life annuity basis. The Pension and Pension
Equalization Plans give effect to the full amount of earnings shown under the
salary and bonus columns of the Summary Compensation Table. At December 31,
1994, the executive officers named in such Table had been credited under the
Pension Plan with the following years of service: Messrs. Farrell and Marshall,
11 years; Mr. Rogliano, 11 years; Mr. Spindler, 8 years; Mr. Lennon, 17 years;
and Mr. Hartough, 8 years. Messrs. Farrell and Marshall are also entitled to
certain supplemental pension benefits under agreements with each of them. Such
supplemental pension benefits are calculated on the basis of the Company's
Pension Plan but with effect being given to periods of up to 20 years of certain
prior employment and with a reduction in such benefits to reflect any pension
payable under the Company's Plan and under the plan covering such prior
employment. The effect of these agreements is
8
<PAGE>
to increase the years of credited service as of December 31, 1994 for Messrs.
Farrell and Marshall to 27 and 29 years of service, respectively.
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
The Company has entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Farrell and
Marshall, extending through April 1996, in the case of Mr. Farrell, and May
1995, in the case of Mr. Marshall. The agreements provide for a minimum annual
salary of $425,000, in the case of Mr. Farrell, and $200,000, in the case of Mr.
Marshall. On March 10, 1994 the Compensation and Benefits Committee approved an
increase, effective April 1, 1994, to Mr. Farrell's annual salary from $425,000
to $475,000. Mr. Farrell's agreement also provides for a termination payment in
the event of termination of employment for reasons other than Due Cause (as
defined in the agreement). Such termination payment would be a lump sum cash
payment equal to the sum of (i) the annual salary in effect prior to
termination, multiplied by a fraction (the 'Remaining Term Multiplier'), the
numerator of which is the number of months in the remaining term of the
agreement and the denominator of which is twelve, (ii) the last annual bonus
actually paid, multiplied by the Remaining Term Multiplier and (iii) a
reasonable sum reflecting the economic equivalent of participation in all
applicable employee benefit programs of the Company for the remaining term of
the agreement. The Remaining Term Multiplier may not be less than 1.5. The
employment agreements also entitle each of Messrs. Farrell and Marshall to
participate in the Company's management and other employee benefit plans, to
receive supplemental pension and disability benefits and, in the event of
termination of employment for disability or early retirement after the original
term of his agreement, to be deemed eligible for early retiree medical coverage
under the Company's Comprehensive Medical Expense Benefits Plan regardless of
age and years of services as though December 31, 1994, had been an early
retirement date. In March 1995 the Company entered into a new employment
agreement with Mr. Marshall extending through May 1998, which will become
effective on June 1, 1995, upon the termination of his existing agreement. Such
agreement provides for a salary of $150,000 for the period beginning June 1,
1995 and ending May 31, 1996, and thereafter at a salary of $40,000 per year,
and entitles Mr. Marshall to participate in the Company's management and other
employee benefit plans applicable to his status, to receive supplemental pension
benefits, and, in the event of early retirement or termination of employment for
any other reason, to be deemed eligible for early retiree medical coverage under
the Company's Comprehensive Medical Expense Benefits Plan.
CHANGE IN CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS
In 1984 the Board approved the original employment agreement described
above with Mr. Farrell, as an inducement for him to accept employment with the
Company. At the same time the Board approved a supplemental employment agreement
with him, providing for continuation of employment after a 'change in control'
(as defined) of the Company, but not beyond age 65, at an annual salary equal to
his annual salary in effect on the date of the commencement of his employment in
1984 plus his first annual discretionary bonus, the aggregate of the two being
annually indexed from such commencement date, in the case of salary, and from
the date of payment, in the case of the bonus, by the following formula: the
higher of (i) 10% or (ii) 80% of the percentage change in the Consumer Price
Index. Under the supplemental employment agreement Mr. Farrell is entitled to
continue to participate in all management and employee benefit plans, to accrue
pension benefits and, in the event of termination of employment, to receive a
cash payment equivalent to the value of all unexercised
9
<PAGE>
stock options (whether or not then exercisable). Mr. Farrell has agreed to
remain in the Company's employ during the term of his supplemental agreement. In
case of termination of employment, Mr. Farrell is under no duty to mitigate
damages, and remuneration received from other sources cannot be offset against
the Company's obligations under the supplemental employment agreement. In 1984
the Board also approved a change in control agreement for Mr. Marshall; such
agreement terminated in May 1994.
The Company has entered into change in control employment agreements with
Messrs. Hartough, Lennon and Rogliano. In these agreements Messrs. Hartough,
Lennon and Rogliano agree to remain in the employ of the Company for a specified
term after a 'change in control' (as defined). In the agreements initial
aggregate cash compensation is determined on the basis of salary and bonus
levels paid when the agreement takes effect. In general, the Company may
terminate the employee's employment for 'cause,' and, in the case of Messrs.
Lennon and Rogliano's agreements, the employee may terminate his employment for
'good reason,' which includes an overall reduction in authority or
responsibility or a requirement to change base location. In case of termination
for 'good reason,' the employee is, in substance, entitled to receive an amount
equal to his compensation for the remaining term of his agreement or, in certain
cases, a discounted lump-sum payment. In 1988 the Company entered into a similar
change in control employment agreement with Mr. Spindler; such agreement expired
in December 1994.
In case a 'change in control' should occur, for example on July 1, 1995,
the terms of the change in control employment agreements would be as follows:
Mr. Farrell, 60 months; and Messrs. Hartough, Lennon and Rogliano, 36 months.
Not later than 90 days following a change in control, the Company is
obligated to contribute an amount in cash to a trust established between the
Company and The Chase Manhattan Bank (National Association). Such amount must be
sufficient to provide the benefits to which (a) participants under the Pension
Equalization Plan and the Retirement Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the
'Plans') and (b) employees covered under certain employment contracts, including
Messrs. Farrell and Marshall, are entitled pursuant to the terms of the Plans
and employment contracts as in effect on the date of the change in control. The
assets of the trust will be subject to the claims of the Company's general
creditors in the event of the Company's insolvency.
COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A)
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's
directors and executive officers, and any persons who own more than 10% of a
registered class of the Company's equity securities to file with the Securities
and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange reports of ownership and
changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of the Company.
Officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC
regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they
file. Based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to the
Company or written representations that no other reports were required, the
Company believes that, during 1994, all filing requirements applicable to its
officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were complied with.

REPORT OF COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS COMMITTEE
The Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board of Directors (the
'Compensation Committee') is responsible for establishing and reviewing policies
governing salaries, incentive compensation, and the terms and conditions of
employment of executive officers of the Company. The policies of the
Compensation Committee applicable to the compensation of executive officers are
described below.
The Compensation Committee has established an overall compensation program
to attract, retain and motivate executive officers and to enhance their
incentive to perform at the highest level and contribute significantly to the
Company's success. Recognizing the desirability of tying the compensation of
executive officers to performance and of aligning their interests closely to the
long-term interests of the Company and its shareholders, the Compensation
Committee has determined that a significant part of the compensation of
executive officers should be paid in the form of annual incentive payments under
the Key Employees Incentive Plan and stock option grants.
The Compensation Committee has from time to time engaged a recognized
consultant in the executive compensation field to review and confirm the
appropriateness of the Company's salary, annual bonus and long-term incentive
programs for executive officers. In collaboration with that consultant, the
Compensation Committee has developed a policy to make available to executive
officers the opportunity to earn annual cash compensation close to the 50th
percentile for comparable positions in companies of similar size across all
industries from whom the Company seeks to attract executive officers. Cash
compensation is paid to executive officers in the form of salaries and annual
incentive payments under the Key Employees Incentive Plan.
The Compensation Committee periodically reviews the salaries of executive
officers in light of competitive standards and the Compensation Committee's
evaluation of their individual performance and makes such adjustments as are
appropriate. Each year the Compensation Committee prescribes target cash
incentive awards for executive officers under the Key Employees Incentive Plan.
Such target incentives are indicative of the incentive payment that an executive
officer might expect to receive for such year based upon a strong performance by
the individual executive officer in achieving established individual objectives,
his operating or staff unit and the overall performance of the Company or
relevant operating groups. For purposes of calculating actual awards under such
guidelines, individual performance is given a weight factor of 50%, and unit and
the Company or relevant operating group performance are each given weight
factors of 25%.
Under the policy and administrative guidelines adopted by the Compensation
Committee for 1994, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the 'CEO') had a
target cash incentive award of 50% of salary based on full performance by the
Company and by him individually. Based on such guidelines, the CEO's actual
award could have ranged from 0 to 100% of salary, depending on his performance
rating and that of the Company as determined by the Compensation Committee and
approved by the Board. The Committee recommended and the Board approved an
annual incentive payment of $475,000 or 100% of salary for the CEO for 1994
after considering the following quantitative and qualitative measures of the
Company's performance in 1994: (i) estimated actual earnings and cash flow on a
consolidated basis, (ii) estimated actual operating earnings and cash flow of
each reportable business segment, (iii) the employee safety performance of each
segment, (iv) the achievement of record earnings in each of the Services
segments, (v) the achievement of record revenues in each of the
11
<PAGE>
Services segments, (vi) the achievement of record cash flows at Burlington and
significant cash flow improvements in the other Services segments, (vii) the
implementation of the integration of assets acquired from Addington Resources,
Inc. and (viii) the increase in productivity at Pittston Coal. In evaluating the
performance of each business segment and the Company as a whole, the Committee
took into account as additional factors and criteria: pricing and market
conditions affecting each business segment; the effect of the world economy on
such businesses; comparative performance of the Company's competitors;
productivity and cost containment measures successfully carried out; progress of
management development and employee relations efforts; and the quality of
strategic planning and communications with external constituencies. The
Committee's evaluation of the CEO's performance was based not only on the
measures of the Company's performance and the other factors and criteria
described above but also on the Committee's good faith business judgement of the
CEO's performance as it related to results in 1994 and the long-term positioning
of the Company. The Compensation Committee did not attach specific weights to
the foregoing factors, but in general the Committee attached more significance
to earnings results than the other factors.
In 1994 the Compensation Committee made no stock option grants to executive
officers of the Company.
The Compensation Committee believes that reasonable post-takeover
employment arrangements are often an essential aspect of the terms of employment
of executive officers. The Committee also recognizes the importance to the
Company of retaining its executive officers during and after the disruption
typically provoked by a takeover offer (whether or not ultimately successful).
The Company is party to a 'change in control' employment agreement with each of
its executive officers, and the Compensation Committee is firmly of the view
that the Company and its shareholders have benefitted from the relatively modest
protection which such agreements afford to its executive officers. The Company
also has entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Farrell and Marshall.
The Compensation Committee believes that these employment agreements provide
reasonable compensation arrangements and give the Company a high degree of
management stability during a period of economic change.
The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 contained a new Internal
Revenue Code Section 162(m)(1) which disallows a tax deduction for any publicly
held corporation for remuneration exceeding $1 million in any taxable year for
chief executive officers and certain other executive officers, except for
remuneration paid under qualifying 'performance based' plans. In 1994 the
Company's shareholders approved amendments to the 1988 Stock Option Plan which
qualify the grant of options under such Plan under Section 162(m). The Committee
will continue to evaluate the impact of the Section 162(m)(1) limitations on an
ongoing basis in light of final regulations and future events with an objective
of achieving deductibility to the extent appropriate.

(1) On July 26, 1993, the Company's shareholders approved the Services Stock
Proposal under which the Company reclassified its former single class of
common stock by redesignating it as Pittston Services Group Common Stock and
distributing a second class of common stock designated as Pittston Minerals
Group Common Stock on the basis of one fifth of one share of such Stock for
each share of the Company's former common stock held by shareholders of
record on July 26, 1993. For the line designated as 'The Pittston Company'
the graph depicts the cumulative return on $100 invested in the Company's
former single class of common stock from January 1, 1989 through July 5,
1993 (the last trading day prior to the commencement of trading in the
Services Stock and the Minerals Stock). Since July 6, 1993 (the date of
commencement of trading in the Services Stock and the Minerals Stock) the
graph depicts the cumulative return on a capitalization-weighted combination
of Services Stock and Minerals Stock. For the S&P 500 Index and the
Composite Peer Group Index, cumulative returns are measured on an annual
basis for the period from January 1, 1989 through July 5, 1993 and then from
July 6, 1993 through December 31, 1994, with the value of each index set to
$100 on January 1, 1989. Total return assumes reinvestment of dividends. The
returns of the component companies included in the Composite Peer Group
Index are weighted
13
<PAGE>
according to such company's market capitalization at the beginning of each
period. Companies in the Composite Peer Group Index are as follows:
Addington Resources, Inc.; Air Express International Corporation;
Consolidated Freightways, Inc.; Expeditors International Inc.; Federal
Express Corporation; Harper Group Inc.; MAPCO; Wackenhut Corporation (Class
A); and Westmoreland Coal Company. In constructing the Composite Peer Group
Index for 1994 the Company has omitted Nerco Inc., which was included in
prior years, because such company's shares ceased to be publicly traded in
1994.

PROPOSALS OF THE BOARD
The following proposals are expected to be presented to the meeting. With
respect to each proposal all shares of Minerals and Services Stock will vote
together as a single voting group, and each such share will have one vote.
Proposal No. 1 -- Election of Directors: in order to be elected, nominees for
director must receive a plurality of the votes cast by those present in person
or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions
and shares held by a broker in 'street name' ('Broker Shares') that are not
voted in the election of directors will not be included in determining the
number of votes cast. Proposal No. 2 -- Approval of the Selection of
Independent Certified Public Accountants: must receive more votes cast in favor
of such proposal by holders of the shares present in person or represented by
proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon than votes cast in opposition
to such proposal by such holders. Abstentions and Brokers Shares that are not
voted on Proposal No. 2 will not be counted in determining the number of votes
cast. Proposal No. 3 -- Amendment and Restatement of the Key Employees'
Deferred Compensation program: must receive the affirmative vote of the holders
of a majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting
and entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions and Broker Shares that are voted as to
any matter presented at the meeting, but not voted on Proposal No. 3, will be
counted as present but not voted and will have the same effect as votes cast in
opposition to such Proposal. Broker Shares that are not voted on any matter
presented at the meeting will not be included in determining the number of
shares present or represented at the meeting.
PROPOSAL NO. 1 -- ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
In accordance with the Company's charter and bylaws, the Board of Directors
is divided into three classes, with the term of office of one of the three
classes of directors expiring each year and with each class being elected for a
three-year term. Under the bylaws the number of directors that constitute the
entire Board is currently twelve. Following the meeting of the Board of
Directors scheduled to be held on the date of the Annual Meeting of
Shareholders, there will be a vacancy in the class of directors whose term
expires in 1996.
The nominees for election as directors for three-year terms expiring in
1998 are: Messrs. James R. Barker, James L. Broadhead, Ronald M. Gross and David
L. Marshall.
The Board of Directors has no reason to believe that any of the nominees
are not available or will not serve if elected. If any of them should become
unavailable to serve as a director, full discretion is reserved to the persons
named as proxies to vote for such other persons as may be nominated.

The Board of Directors of the Company has, subject to shareholder approval,

representatives of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP are expected to attend the annual
meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do
so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.
PROPOSAL NO. 3 -- PROPOSAL TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENT AND
RESTATEMENT OF THE KEY EMPLOYEES' DEFERRED COMPENSATION PROGRAM
In order to further link the compensation of key employees to the value of
the Company's Common Stock and to align the interests of such employees more
closely to the long-term interests of the Company and its shareholders, the
Board of Directors proposes that the shareholders approve the action of the
Board of Directors in amending and restating the Key Employees' Deferred
Compensation Program of The Pittston Company (the 'Deferred Compensation
Program'). The purpose of these amendments is to encourage long-term employee
investment in equivalents of Services Stock and/or Minerals Stock.
The following summary of the amendments to the Deferred Compensation
Program is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Program, which is
annexed as Exhibit A to this Proxy Statement.
Pursuant to the existing Deferred Compensation Program, eligible employees
may defer (a) receipt of all or any part of any cash incentive payment awarded
under the Key Employees Incentive Plan of The Pittston Company, (b) up to 50% of
the employee's base salary (determined prior to reduction for any contributions
made on a salary reduction basis) and (c) amounts that are not permitted to be
deferred under the Savings-Investment Plan of The Pittston Company and Its
Subsidiaries (the 'Savings Plan') as a result of limits imposed by the Code and
have a matching contribution credited with respect to such Savings Plan
deferral. Such deferred amounts will be allocated as the participant elects
between amounts to be deferred in the form of Minerals Units ('Minerals Units')
and/or Services Units ('Services Units'). Each unit will be the equivalent of
one share of Minerals Stock or one share of Services Stock.
26
<PAGE>
In order to encourage eligible employees to defer incentive payments and
salary, it is proposed that the Deferred Compensation Program be amended to
provide that in the event of a deferral the Company will provide a matching
contribution equal to 100% of the first 10% of his or her (a) cash incentive
payment and (b) salary (earned after June 1, 1995 for the 1995 year), but in no
event will the matching contribution exceed the amount deferred. An employee
will be eligible to receive such matching contributions for a calendar year if
(a) his base salary as of the preceding December 31 is at least equal to
$150,000 (subject to adjustments for years after 1995 to reflect increases in
the limitation in effect under Code Section 401(a)(17)) or (b) he or she is so
designated by the Compensation and Benefits Committee. A newly hired employee
will be eligible if his or her base salary (on an annualized basis) in effect on
his or her initial date of employment will exceed the amount in effect under
Code Section 401(a)(17) for such year. Such matching contributions credited on
behalf of an employee employed by a subsidiary in the Pittston Services Group or
the Pittston Minerals Group shall be converted into Services Units or Minerals
Units, as the case may be. Such matching contributions allocated on behalf of an
employee of The Pittston Company shall be converted into Services Units and
Minerals Units in the proportion that the fair market value of each of Services
Stock and Minerals Stock bears to the total fair market value of both Services
Stock and Minerals Stock as of the last day of the year for which the incentive
payment was made or in which the deferred salary was earned. Generally, deferral
elections must be filed prior to the beginning of the calendar year for which
the incentive payment is made or the salary is earned. However, for 1995, a
participant may file a new deferral election prior to June 1, 1995, if he or she
has not previously made a 1995 deferral election or wishes to increase the
percentage of his incentive payment or salary to be deferred. In the case of
deferred salary, this new election will apply only to salary earned after June
1, 1995.
The Deferred Compensation Program provides that the aggregate value of the
Minerals Stock and Services Stock and cash distributed to a participant in
respect of all Units standing to his or her credit in his or her incentive
account attributable to the deferral of Incentive Payments and the deferral of
salary shall not be less than the aggregate amount of Incentive Payments, salary
and related dividends in respect of which such units were initially credited.
This guarantee will not apply to Company matching contributions or dividends
attributable to such contributions.
Upon a participant's termination of employment as a result of death,
retirement under a Company-sponsored pension plan, disability (as defined) or
for any reason within three years following a Change in Control (as defined),
the participant shall receive a distribution of Minerals Stock and/or Services
Stock based on a conversion of the Minerals Units and/or Services Units in his
or her account to such shares of stock (subject to the downside protection
described in the preceding paragraph). Such stock will be distributed in a
single distribution as soon as practicable following his or her termination of
employment unless the participant elects at least 12 months before his or her
termination to receive equal annual installments (not more than five) commencing
on the first day of the month following his or her termination of employment.
If a participant terminates his or her employment for a reason not
described in the preceding paragraph, he or she will forfeit the units in his or
her account attributable to the matching incentive and matching salary
contributions (and related dividends) for the year in which the termination
occurs. Such a participant will be vested in the remaining units in his or her
account attributable to such
27
<PAGE>
matching incentive and matching salary contributions (and related dividends)
based on the following schedule:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
MONTHS OF PARTICIPATION VESTED PERCENTAGE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------
<S> <C>
less than 36............................................................... 0
at least 36 but less than 48............................................... 50%
at least 48 but less than 60............................................... 75%
60 or more................................................................. 100%
</TABLE>
A participant shall receive credit for one 'month of participation' for each
calendar month during which an election to defer cash incentive payments and/or
base salary is in effect. Minerals Stock and/or Services Stock, in respect of
the vested units in his or her account attributable to such matching
contributions (and related dividends) will be distributed to the participant in
a single distribution as soon as practicable following the third anniversary of
such termination of employment. The participant will always be fully vested in
Minerals Stock and/or Services Stock in respect of units not attributable to
such matching contributions (and related dividends) which shall be distributed
as described in the preceding paragraph.
A participant may not make an in-service withdrawal with respect to units
attributable to matching incentive and matching salary contributions (and
related dividends).
The Deferred Compensation Program currently permits an employee whose base
salary as of the preceding December 31 is at least equal to $150,000 (subject to
adjustment for calendar years after 1995 to reflect increases in the limitation
in effect under Code Section 401(a)(17)) to defer a portion of such salary. A
newly hired employee may participate in this part of the Program if his or her
base salary (on an annualized basis) in effect on his or her initial date of
employment will exceed the amount in effect under Code Section 401(a)(17) for
such year. It is proposed that the Compensation and Benefits Committee of the
Board of Directors be permitted to designate specific employees as eligible to
participate in such part of the program in addition to the employees described
above.
As a result of nondiscrimination rules imposed by the Code, matching
contributions that would otherwise be allocated under the Savings Plan to the
accounts of certain highly compensated participants may be required to be
reduced. Accordingly, the Deferred Compensation Program has been amended to
provide that (a) to the extent such matching contribution is nonvested, it shall
be forfeited and that amount shall be allocated to his or her incentive account
as a matching contribution under the supplemental savings portion of the
Deferred Compensation Program or (b) to the extent such matching contribution is
vested, it shall be distributed to the employee, his compensation paid after the
date of the distribution shall be reduced by that amount and such amount shall
be allocated to his or her incentive account as a matching contribution under
the supplemental savings portion of the Deferred Compensation Program. The
dollar amount of such matching contribution shall be allocated as of the January
1 next following the year for which the matching contribution was made under the
Savings Plan. Such amount is converted into that number of Minerals Units and/or
Services Units determined by dividing the amount of the matching contribution to
be used to purchase Minerals Units and/or Services Units, respectively, by the
average of the high and low per share market prices of the Minerals Stock and
Services Stock, as the case may be, on the New York Stock Exchange Transaction
Composite tape for each trading day during the month of April following the
January 1 allocation date.
28
<PAGE>
Participation in the Program. The benefits or amounts which will be
received by or allocated to participants under the Deferred Compensation Program
are not determinable since those amounts will depend upon future deferral
elections, the allocation of matching contributions between Minerals Units and
Services Units, respectively, and the extent to which a participant becomes
vested in the Company's matching contributions. Nevertheless, based upon the
deferral elections made by the Company's executive officers and other
participants with respect to their 1994 compensation, had the Deferred
Compensation Program amendments been effective during 1994, the following
Company matching contributions would have been made to the following persons or
groups: J. C. Farrell ($47,500); G. R. Spindler ($26,233); D. L. Marshall
($7,500); G. R. Rogliano ($9,500); F. T. Lennon ($16,425); J. B. Hartough
($7,000); all executive officers as a group ($114,158); and all non-executive
officer employees as a group ($123,282).
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE
APPROVAL OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PROGRAM.
OTHER INFORMATION
SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS
To nominate a director at the annual meeting, a shareholder must satisfy
conditions specified in the Company's bylaws. A shareholder who wishes to
suggest potential nominees to the Board of Directors for consideration should
write to the Secretary of the Company, stating in detail the qualifications of
such nominees for consideration by the Nominating Committee of the Board. The
Company's bylaws also prescribe the procedures a shareholder must follow to
bring other business before annual meetings. For a shareholder to nominate a
director or directors at the 1996 annual meeting or bring other business
(including any proposal intended for inclusion in the Company's proxy materials)
before the 1996 annual meeting, notice must be given to the Secretary of the
Company between October 1, 1995, and December 1, 1995. The notice must include a
description of the proposed business, the reason for it, the complete text of
any resolution and other specified matters.
Any shareholder desiring a copy of the Company's bylaws will be furnished
one without charge upon written request to the Secretary.
OTHER MATTERS
The cost of this solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Company. In
addition to soliciting proxies by mail, directors, officers and employees of the
Company, without receiving additional compensation therefor, may solicit proxies
by telephone, telegram, in person or by other means. Arrangements also will be
made with brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to
forward proxy solicitation material to the beneficial owners of Services Stock
and Minerals Stock held of record by such persons and the Company will reimburse
such brokerage firms, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection therewith. The Company has
retained Kissel-Blake Inc. to perform various proxy advisory and solicitation
services. The 1995 fee of Kissel-Blake Inc. is currently estimated to be
approximately $14,000, plus reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses.

KEY EMPLOYEES' DEFERRED COMPENSATION PROGRAM OF
THE PITTSTON COMPANY
AS AMENDED AND RESTATED
AS OF JUNE 1, 1995
PREAMBLE
The Key Employees' Deferred Compensation Program of The Pittston Company
(the 'Program'), as amended and restated as of July 1, 1994, was a continuation
and expansion of the Key Employees Deferred Payment Program of The Pittston
Company. The expanded Program provided an opportunity to certain employees to
defer receipt of (a) all or part of their cash incentive payments awarded under
the Key Employees Incentive Plan of The Pittston Company; (b) up to 50% of their
base salary; and (c) any or all amounts that are prevented from being deferred
as a matched contribution (and the related matching contribution) under the
Savings-Investment Plan of The Pittston Company and Its Subsidiaries ('Savings
Plan') as a result of limitations imposed by Sections 401(a)(17), 401(k)(3),
402(g) and 415 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the 'Code').
In order to align the interests of participants more closely to the
long-term interests of The Pittston Company (the 'Company') and its
shareholders, effective June 1, 1995, the Program is again amended and restated,
to provide matching contributions with respect to certain deferred cash
incentive awards and salary deferrals. In addition, the Program has been amended
to provide that an amount equivalent to matching contributions that are not
eligible to be made under the Savings Plan as a result of limitations imposed by
Code Section 401(m)(2) shall be allocated under this Program. The purpose of
these amendments is to encourage long-term employee investment in equivalents of
common stock of the Company.
The Program is an unfunded plan maintained primarily for the purpose of
providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly
compensated employees, within the meaning of Section 201(2) of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

Company of all classes of Minerals Stock and Services Stock outstanding
(exclusive of shares held by the Company's Subsidiaries or Foreign
Subsidiaries) pursuant to a tender offer, exchange offer or series of
purchases or other acquisitions, or any combination of those transactions,
or (b) there shall be a change in the composition of the Board of Directors
of the Company at any time within two years after any tender offer,
exchange offer, merger, consolidation, sale of assets or contested

however that if a newly-hired Employee becomes eligible to participate in
the benefits provided pursuant to Articles IV and/or V, on a day other than
the first day of the Year, the Year for purposes of Articles IV and V shall
be the portion of the calendar year during which the Employee is first
eligible to participate in the benefits provided thereunder.
ARTICLE II
ADMINISTRATION
SECTION 1. Authorized Shares. The maximum number of Units that may be
credited hereunder is 100,000 Minerals Units and 250,000 Services Units. The
number of Shares of each class that may be issued or otherwise distributed
hereunder will be equal to the number of Units (of each class) that may be
credited hereunder.
In the event of any change in the number of shares of Minerals Stock and/or
Services Stock outstanding by reason of any stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization, combination, or
exchange of shares, split-up, split-off, spin-off, liquidation or other similar
change in capitalization, any distribution to common shareholders other than
cash dividends, or any exchange of Minerals Stock for Services Stock, a
corresponding adjustment shall be made to the number or kind of shares that may
be deemed issued under the Program by the Committee. Such adjustment shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes of the Program.
SECTION 2. Administration. The Committee is authorized to construe the
provisions of the Program and to make all determinations in connection with the
administration of the Program including, but not limited to, the Employees who
are eligible to participate in the benefits provided under Articles III or IV.
All such determinations made by the Committee shall be final, conclusive and
binding on all parties, including Employees participating in the Program.

Employee for any Year under the Incentive Plan.
Incentive Plan: The Key Employees Incentive Plan of The Pittston
Company, as in effect from time to time or any successor thereto.
Matching Incentive Contributions: Matching contributions allocated to
an Employee's Incentive Account pursuant to Section 4 of this Article III.
SECTION 2. Eligibility. The Committee shall designate the key management,
professional or technical Employees who may defer all or part of their Cash
Incentive Payments for any Year pursuant to this Article III.
3
<PAGE>
An Employee designated to participate in this portion of the Program
pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall be eligible to receive a Matching
Incentive Contribution for a Year if (a) his or her Salary (on an annualized
basis) as of the preceding December 31 is at least equal to $150,000 (as
adjusted for Years after 1995 to reflect the limitation in effect under Code
Section 401(a)(17) for the Year in which the Employee's election to participate
is filed) or (b) he or she is so designated by the Committee. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, a newly hired Employee will be eligible to receive a Matching
Incentive Contribution for his or her initial Year of employment if his or her
Salary (on an annualized basis) in effect on his or her first day of employment
with the Company or a Subsidiary will exceed the threshold amount determined
pursuant to Code Section 401(a)(17) for his or her initial calendar year of
employment.
SECTION 3. Deferral of Cash Incentive Payments. Each Employee whom the
Committee has selected to be eligible to defer a Cash Incentive Payment for any
Year pursuant to this Article III may make an election to defer all or part (in
multiples of 10%) of any Cash Incentive Payment which may be made to him or her
for such Year. Such Employee's election for any Year shall be made prior to
January 1 of such Year; provided, however, that with respect to the 1995 Year,
an Employee who is eligible to receive a Matching Incentive Contribution
pursuant to Section 2 of this Article III may make such election at any time
prior to June 1, 1995, for Cash Incentive Payments paid for 1995 if he or she
(a) has not previously made a deferral election for 1995 or (b) wishes to
increase the percentage of his Cash Incentive Payment to be deferred. An
Incentive Account (which may be the same Incentive Account established pursuant
to Articles IV and/or V) shall be established for each Employee making such
election and Units in respect of such deferred payment shall be credited to such
Incentive Account as provided in Section 7 below.
SECTION 4. Matching Incentive Contributions. Effective for the 1995 Year,
each Employee who is eligible to receive Matching Incentive Contributions
pursuant to Section 2 of this Article III shall have a Matching Incentive
Contribution allocated to his or her Incentive Account. Such Matching Incentive
Contribution shall be equal to the amount of his or her Cash Incentive Payment
that he or she has elected to defer but not in excess of 10% of his or her Cash
Incentive Payment. The dollar amount of each Employee's Matching Incentive
Contributions shall be credited to his or her Incentive Account as of the
January 1 next following the Year in respect of which the Cash Incentive Payment
was made. Units in respect of such amounts shall be credited to such Incentive
Account as provided in Section 7 below.
SECTION 5. Allocation of Deferred Amounts Between Minerals Units and
Services Units. Unless the Committee determines otherwise prior to the November
15 next preceding any Year, each Employee who elects to defer a Cash Incentive
Payment shall specify in his deferral election what portion (in multiples of
10%) of such deferred Cash Incentive Payment shall be converted into Minerals
Units and Services Units in accordance with Section 7 of this Article III.
Notice of any determination by the Committee pursuant to this Section 5 with
respect to any Year shall be given prior to December 15 of the next preceding
Year to each Employee participating in the benefits provided pursuant to this
Article III for such Year.
Matching Incentive Contributions credited on behalf of an Employee employed
by a Subsidiary or Foreign Subsidiary in the (a) Pittston Services Group shall
be converted into Services Units or (b) Pittston Minerals Group shall be
converted into Minerals Units in accordance with Section 7 of this
4
<PAGE>
Article III. Matching Incentive Contributions credited on behalf of an Employee
employed by the Company will be converted into Services Units and Minerals Units
in the proportion that the average of the high and low per share quoted sale
prices of each of Services Stock and Minerals Stock, as the case may be, as
reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape as of the
last day of the Year in respect of which the underlying Cash Incentive Payment
was made bears to the combined average price of both such stocks on such date.
SECTION 6. Irrevocability of Election. Except as provided in Section 3 of
this Article III, an election to defer Cash Incentive Payments and the
allocation of the deferred amounts between Minerals Units and Services Units
under the Program for any Year shall be irrevocable after the first day of such
Year.
SECTION 7. Conversion to Units. The amount of an Employee's deferred Cash
Incentive Payment (and related Matching Incentive Contribution) for any Year
shall be converted to Services Units and/or Minerals Units in accordance with
such Employee's election for such Year and shall be credited to such Employee's
Incentive Account as of the January 1 next following the Year in respect of
which the Cash Incentive Payment was made. The number (computed to the second
decimal place) of Units so credited shall be determined by dividing the
aggregate amount of deferred Cash Incentive Payment and related Matching
Incentive Contribution credited to the Employee's Incentive Account for such
Year by the average of the high and low per share quoted sale prices of Services
Stock or Minerals Stock, as the case may be, as reported on the New York Stock
Exchange Composite Transaction Tape on each trading day during the month of
December of the Year immediately prior to the crediting of Units.
SECTION 8. Adjustments. The Committee shall determine such equitable
adjustments in the Units credited to each Incentive Account as may be
appropriate to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,
merger, consolidation, reorganization, combination, or exchange of shares,
split-up, split-off, spin-off, liquidation or other similar change in
capitalization, any distribution to common shareholders other than cash
dividends or any exchange of Minerals Stock for Services Stock.
SECTION 9. Dividends and Distributions. Whenever a cash dividend or any
other distribution is paid with respect to shares of Minerals Stock or Services
Stock, the Incentive Account of each Employee will be credited with an
additional number of Minerals Units and/or Services Units equal to the number of
Minerals Shares and Services Shares, including fractional shares (computed to
the second decimal place), that could have been purchased had such dividend or
other distribution been paid to the Incentive Account on the payment date for
such dividend or distribution based on the number of shares of the class giving
rise to the dividend or distribution represented by Units in such Incentive
Account as of such date and assuming the amount of such dividend or value of
such distribution had been used to acquire additional Units of the class giving
rise to the dividend or other distribution. Such additional Units shall be
deemed to be purchased at the average of the high and low per share quoted sale
prices of Services Stock or Minerals Stock, as the case may be, as reported on
the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape on the payment date for
the dividend or other distribution. The value of any distribution in property
will be determined by the Committee.
SECTION 10. Allocation of Units as of July 1, 1994. As of July 1, 1994, the
number of Units credited to an Employee's Incentive Account shall be equal to
the number of Units credited to his Incentive Account as of June 30, 1994, under
the Key Employees Deferred Payment Program of The Pittston Company.
5
<PAGE>
SECTION 11. Minimum Distribution. Distributions shall be made in accordance
with Article VI; provided, however, that the aggregate value of the Minerals
Stock and/or Services Stock and cash distributed to an Employee (and his or her
beneficiaries) in respect of all Units standing to his or her credit in his or
her Incentive Account attributable to deferrals of Cash Incentive Payments
(including related dividends but not Matching Incentive Contributions) shall not
be less than the aggregate amount of Cash Incentive Payments and dividends
(credited to his Incentive Account pursuant to Section 9) in respect of which
such Units were initially so credited. The value of the Minerals Stock and
Services Stock so distributed shall be considered equal to the average of the
high and low per share quoted sale prices of Services Stock and/or Minerals
Stock, as the case may be, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite
Transaction Tape for the last trading day of the month preceding the month of
distribution.
ARTICLE IV
DEFERRAL OF SALARY
SECTION 1. Definitions. Wherever used in this Article IV, the following
term shall have the meaning indicated:
Matching Salary Contributions: Matching contributions allocated to an
Employee's Incentive Account pursuant to Section 4 of this Article IV.
SECTION 2. Eligibility. An Employee may participate in the benefits
provided pursuant to this Article IV for any Year if (a) his or her Salary (on
an annualized basis) as of the preceding December 31 (June 30 for the 1994 year)
is at least equal to $150,000 (as adjusted for Years after 1994 to reflect the
limitation in effect under Code Section 401(a)(17) for the Year in which the
Employee's election to participate is filed) or (b) he or she is designated by
the Committee as eligible to participate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a newly
hired Employee is eligible to defer a portion of his or her Salary during his or
her initial Year of employment if his or her Salary (on an annualized basis) in
effect on his or her first day of employment with the Company or a Subsidiary
will exceed the threshold amount determined pursuant to Code Section 401(a)(17)
for his or her initial calendar year of employment.
Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, an Employee who is eligible
to defer a portion of his or her Salary shall continue to be so eligible unless
his or her Salary for any Year (on an annualized basis) is less than $150,000,
in which case he or she shall be ineligible to participate in the benefits
provided under this Article IV until his or her Salary again exceeds the
threshold amount determined pursuant to Code Section 401(a)(17) for the Year
prior to the Year of participation.
SECTION 3. Deferral of Salary. Each Employee who is eligible to defer
Salary for any Year pursuant to this Article IV may elect to defer up to 50% (in
multiples of 5%) of his or her Salary for such Year; provided, however, that in
the case of a newly hired Employee who is eligible to participate for his or her
initial Year of employment, only up to 50% of Salary earned after he or she
files a deferral election with the Committee may be deferred. Such Employee's
initial election for any Year shall be made prior to the first day of such Year
or within 30 days after his or her initial date of employment, if later;
provided, however, that with respect to the 1995 Year, an eligible Employee may
make such election at any time prior to June 1, 1995, if he (a) has not
previously made a deferral election under this Article IV for 1995 or (b) wishes
to increase the percentage of his Salary to be deferred for 1995. Such election
6
<PAGE>
under (a) or (b) shall apply only to Salary earned after June 1, 1995. An
election to defer Salary shall remain in effect for subsequent Years unless and
until a new election is filed with the Committee by the December 31 preceding
the Year for which the new election is to be effective. An Incentive Account
(which may be the same Incentive Account established pursuant to Articles III
and/or V) shall be established for each Employee making such election and such
Incentive Account shall be credited as of the last day of each month with the
dollar amount of deferred Salary for such month pursuant to such election. Units
in respect of such amounts shall be credited to such Incentive Account as
provided in Section 7 below.
SECTION 4. Matching Salary Contributions. Effective June 1, 1995, each
Employee who has deferred a percentage of his Salary for a Year pursuant to
Section 2 of this Article IV shall have Matching Salary Contributions allocated
to his or her Incentive Account. Such Matching Salary Contributions shall be
equal to 100% of the first 10% of his Salary that he or she has elected to defer
for the Year (earned after June 1, 1995, for the 1995 Year). The dollar amount
of each Employee's Matching Salary Contributions shall be credited to his or her
Incentive Account as of the last day of each month. Units in respect of such
amounts shall be credited to such Incentive Account as provided in Section 7
below.
SECTION 5. Allocation of Deferred Salary Between Minerals Units and
Services Units. Unless the Committee otherwise determines prior to the November
15 next preceding any Year, each Employee who elects to defer a portion of his
or her Salary shall specify what portion (in multiples of 10%) of such deferred
Salary shall be converted into Minerals Units and Services Units in accordance
with Section 7 of this Article IV. Notice of any determination by the Committee
pursuant to this Section 5 with respect to any Year shall be given prior to
December 15 of the next preceding Year to each Employee participating in the
benefits provided pursuant to this Article IV for such Year.
Matching Salary Contributions credited on behalf of an Employee employed by
a Subsidiary or Foreign Subsidiary in the (a) Pittston Services Group shall be
converted into Services Units or (b) Pittston Minerals Group shall be converted
into Minerals Units in accordance with Section 7 of this Article IV. Matching
Incentive Contributions credited on behalf of an Employee employed by the
Company will be converted into Services Units and Minerals Units in the
proportion that the average of the high and low per share quoted sale prices of
each of Services Stock and Minerals Stock, as the case may be, as reported on
the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape as of the last day of the
year in which the deferred Salary was earned bears to the combined average price
of both such stocks on such date.
SECTION 6. Irrevocability of Election. Except as provided in Section 3 of
this Article IV, an election to defer Salary and the allocation of the deferred
Salary between Minerals Units and Services Units under the Program for any Year
shall be irrevocable after the first day of such Year or after 30 days after his
or her initial date of employment, if later.
SECTION 7. Conversion to Units. The amount of an Employee's deferred Salary
(and related Matching Salary Contributions) for any Year shall be converted to
Services Units and/or Minerals Units in accordance with such Employee's election
for such Year and shall be credited to such Employee's Incentive Account as of
the January 1 next following the Year in which such Salary was earned. The
number (computed to the second decimal place) of Units so credited shall be
determined by dividing the aggregate amount of all such deferred Salary (and
related Matching Salary Contributions) credited
7
<PAGE>
to his or her Incentive Account for such Year by the average of the high and low
per share quoted sale prices of Services Stock or Minerals Stock, as the case
may be, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape
for each trading day during the Year immediately prior to the crediting of Units
(or in the case of an Employee who elected to participate in this portion of the
Program effective June 1, 1995, the period from June 1, 1995 through December
31, 1995).
In addition, an additional number of Units shall be credited to an
Employee's Incentive Account as of the January 1 next following such Year in the
event a dividend or other distribution is paid with respect to shares of
Minerals Stock or Services Stock during the Year. The number of additional Units
shall be equal to the number of Minerals Shares and Services Shares, including
fractional shares (computed to the second decimal place), that could have been
purchased if (a) the number of Minerals Units and Services Units credited to the
Employee's Incentive Account for the Year pursuant to the preceding paragraph
had been credited ratably throughout the Year, (b) the dividend or other
distribution had been paid to the Incentive Account on the payment date based on
the number of Shares of the class giving rise to such dividend or distribution
represented by the Units credited pursuant to (a) above had a ratable number of
Units been credited on the record date for the dividend or distribution, and (c)
such dividend or the value of such distribution had been used to acquire
additional Units of the class giving rise to the dividend or other distribution.
Such additional Units shall be deemed to be purchased at the average of the high
and low per share quoted sale prices of Services Stock or Minerals Stock, as the
case may be, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction
Tape on the payment date for the dividend or other distribution. The value of
any distribution in property will be determined by the Committee.
Upon the Employee's termination of employment, any cash amounts not
converted into Units credited to his or her Incentive Account in dollars shall
be converted into Services Units and/or Minerals Units in accordance with the
Employee's election for the Year of termination in the manner described in the
first paragraph of this Section 6 based on the quoted sale prices of Services
Stock or Minerals Stock, as the case may be, as reported on the New York Stock
Exchange Composite Transaction Tape for each trading day during the portion of
the Year preceding the month of termination. Such Employee's Incentive Account
shall also be credited with an additional number of Units in the event a
dividend or other distribution is paid with respect to shares of Minerals Stock
or Services Stock during the Year prior to his or her termination of employment.
The additional number of Units shall be determined in accordance with the second
paragraph of this Section 7 assuming that the number of Minerals Units and
Services Units credited to his or her Incentive Account during the Year as a
result of his or her termination of employment had been credited ratably during
the portion of the Year preceding his or her termination.
SECTION 8. Adjustments. The Committee shall determine such equitable
adjustments in the Units credited to each Incentive Account as may be
appropriate to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,
merger, consolidation, reorganization, combination, or exchange of shares,
split-up, split-off, spin-off, liquidation or other similar change in
capitalization, or any distribution to common shareholders other than cash
dividends or any exchange of Minerals Stock for Services Stock.
SECTION 9. Dividends and Distributions. Whenever a cash dividend or any
other distribution is paid with respect to shares of Minerals Stock or Services
Stock, the Incentive Account of each Employee will be credited with an
additional number of Minerals Units and/or Services Units equal to the number of
8
<PAGE>
Minerals Shares and Services Shares, including fractional shares (computed to
the second decimal place), that could have been purchased had such dividend or
other distribution been paid to the Incentive Account on the payment date for
such dividend or distribution based on the number of shares of the class giving
rise to the dividend or distribution represented by the Units in such Incentive
Account as of such date and assuming the amount of such dividend or value of
such distribution had been used to acquire additional Units of the class giving
rise to the dividend or other distribution. Such additional Units shall be
deemed to be purchased at the average of the high and low per share quoted sale
prices of Services Stock or Minerals Stock, as the case may be, as reported on
the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape on the payment date for
the dividend or other distribution. The value of any distribution in property
will be determined by the Committee.
SECTION 10. Minimum Distribution. Distributions shall be made in accordance
with Article VI; provided, however, the aggregate value of the Minerals Stock
and/or Services Stock and cash distributed to an Employee (and his or her
beneficiaries) in respect of all Units standing to his or her credit in his or
her Incentive Account attributable to the deferral of Salary (including related
dividends but not Matching Salary Contributions) shall not be less than the
aggregate amount of Salary and dividends in respect of which such Units were
initially so credited. The value of the Minerals Stock and Services Stock so
distributed shall be considered equal to the average of the high and low per
share quoted sale prices of Services Stock and/or Minerals Stock, as the case
may be, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape
for the last trading day of the month preceding the month of distribution.
ARTICLE V
SUPPLEMENTAL SAVINGS PLAN
SECTION 1. Definitions. Whenever used in this Article V, the following
terms shall have the meanings indicated:
Compensation: The regular wages received during any pay period by an
Employee while a participant in the Savings Plan for services rendered to
the Company or any Subsidiary that participates in the Savings Plan,
including any commissions or bonuses, but excluding any overtime or premium
pay, living or other expense allowances, or contributions by the Company or
such Subsidiaries to any plan of deferred compensation, and determined
without regard to the application of any salary reduction election under
the Savings Plan. Bonuses paid pursuant to the Incentive Plan shall be
considered received in the Year in which they are payable whether or not
such bonus is deferred pursuant to Article III hereof.
Incentive Plan: The Key Employees Incentive Plan of The Pittston
Company, as in effect from time to time or any successor thereto.
Matching Contributions: Amounts allocated to an Employee's Incentive
Account pursuant to Section 4 of this Article V.
Savings Plan: The Savings-Investment Plan of The Pittston Company and
Its Subsidiaries, as in effect from time to time.
SECTION 2. Eligibility. An Employee may participate in the benefits
provided pursuant to this Article V for any Year if his or her Salary (or an
annualized basis) as of the preceding December 31
9
<PAGE>
(June 30 for the 1994 Year) is at least equal to $150,000 (as adjusted for Years
after 1994 to reflect the limitation in effect under Code Section 401(a)(17) for
the Year in which the Employee's election to participate is filed).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a newly hired Employee is eligible to participate
in the benefits provided pursuant to this Article V if his or her Salary (on an
annualized basis) in effect on his or her first day of employment with the
Company or a Subsidiary will exceed the threshold amount determined pursuant to
Code Section 401(a)(17) for his or her initial calendar year of employment.
Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, an Employee who is eligible
to participate in the benefits provided pursuant to this Article V shall
continue to be so eligible unless his or her Salary for any Year is less than
$150,000, in which case he or she shall be ineligible to participate in the
benefits provided under this Article V until his or her Salary again exceeds the
threshold amount determined pursuant to Code Section 401(a)(17) for the Year
prior to the Year of participation.
SECTION 3. Deferral of Compensation. Effective July 1, 1994, each Employee
who is not permitted to defer the maximum percentage of his or her Compensation
that may be contributed as a matched contribution under the Savings Plan for any
Year as a result of limitations imposed by Sections 401(a)(17), 401(k)(3),
402(g) and/or 415 of the Code may elect to defer all or part of the excess of
(a) such maximum percentage (five percent for 1994) of his or her Compensation
for the calendar year (without regard to any limitation on such amount imposed
by Code Section 401(a)(17)) over (b) the amount actually contributed on his or
her behalf under the Savings Plan for such calendar year as a matched
contribution; provided, however, that with respect to the 1994 Year, only
Compensation paid after July 1, 1994, may be deferred. In order to be permitted
to defer any portion of his or her Compensation pursuant to this Section 3 of
Article V, the Employee must elect to defer the maximum amount permitted as a
matched contribution for the calendar year under the Savings Plan. Such
Employee's initial election hereunder for any Year shall be made prior to the
first day of such Year or prior to the date on which he or she is first eligible
to participate in the Savings Plan, if later. Such election shall remain in
effect for subsequent Years unless and until a new election is filed with the
Committee by the December 31 preceding the Year for which the new election is to
be effective. An Incentive Account (which may be the same Incentive Account
established pursuant to Article III and/or IV) shall be established for each
Employee making such election and such Incentive Account shall be credited as of
the last day of each month with the dollar amount of the Compensation deferred
for such month pursuant to such election; provided, however, that in the event
an Employee is not permitted to defer the maximum percentage of his or her
Compensation that may be contributed as a matched contribution under the Savings
Plan for any year as a result of the limitation imposed by Code Section
401(k)(3), such excess contribution shall be distributed to the Employee, his
Compensation paid after the date of the distribution shall be reduced by that
amount and such amount shall be allocated to his Incentive Account as of the
January 1 next following the Year for which the excess contribution was made
under the Savings Plan. Units in respect of such amounts shall be credited to
such Incentive Account as provided in Section 7 below.
SECTION 4. Matching Contributions. Each Employee who elects to defer a
portion of his or her Compensation for a Year pursuant to Section 3 of this
Article V shall have a Matching Contribution allocated to his or her Incentive
Account equal to the rate of matching contributions in effect for such Employee
under the Savings Plan for such Year multiplied by the amount elected to be
deferred pursuant to Section 3 above for each month in such Year. The dollar
amount of each Employee's
10
<PAGE>
Matching Contributions for each month shall be credited to his or her Incentive
Account as of the last day of each month.
Subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Company at the 1995
annual meeting, if an Employee is participating in this portion of the Program
pursuant to Section 2 of this Article V and his or her matching contribution
under the Savings Plan for 1994 or any later year will be reduced as a result of
the nondiscrimination test contained in Code Section 401(m)(2), (a) to the
extent such matching contribution is forfeitable, it shall be forfeited and that
amount shall be allocated to his or her Incentive Account as a Matching
Contribution or (b) to the extent such matching contribution is not forfeitable,
it shall be distributed to the Employee, his Compensation paid after the date of
the distribution shall be reduced by that amount and such amount shall be
allocated to his or her Incentive Account as a Matching Contribution. The dollar
amount of such Matching Contribution shall be allocated to each Employee's
Incentive Account as of the January 1 next following the Year for which the
matching contribution was made under the Savings Plan. Units in respect of such
contribution shall be credited to the Employee's Incentive Account as provided
in Section 7 below.
SECTION 5. Allocation of Deferred Amounts Between Minerals Units and
Services Units. Unless the Committee otherwise determines prior to the November
15 next preceding any Year, each Employee who elects to defer Compensation shall
specify in his or her deferral election what portion of such deferred
Compensation shall be converted (in multiples of 10%) into Minerals Units and
Services Units in accordance with Section 7 of this Article V. Matching
Contributions shall be allocated between Minerals Units and Services Units in
the same proportion as deferrals of Compensation. Notice of any determination by
the Committee pursuant to this Section 5 with respect to any Year shall be given
prior to December 15 of the next preceding Year to each Employee participating
in the benefits provided pursuant to this Article V for such Year.
SECTION 6. Irrevocability of Election. An election to defer amounts and the
allocation of the deferred amounts between Mineral Units and Services Units
under the Program for any Year shall be irrevocable after the first day of such
Year or prior to the date on which he or she is first eligible to participate in
the Savings Plan, if later.
SECTION 7. Conversion to Units. The amount of an Employee's deferred
Compensation and Matching Contributions for any Year shall be converted to
Services Units and/or Minerals Units in accordance with such Employee's election
for such Year and shall be credited to such Employee's Incentive Account as of
the January 1 next following the Year in which such Compensation was earned or
for which the Matching Contribution was made. The number (computed to the second
decimal place) of Units so credited shall be determined by dividing the
aggregate amount of all such amounts credited to the Employee's Incentive
Account for such Year attributable to (a) the deferral of amounts awarded under
the Incentive Plan (including related Matching Contributions) by the average of
the high and low per share quoted sale prices of Services Stock or Minerals
Stock, as the case may be, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite
Transaction Tape on each trading day during the month of December of the Year
immediately prior to the crediting of such Units, (b) Compensation and Matching
Contributions allocated to an Incentive Account as a result of failing to
satisfy the tests included in Code Sections 401(k)(3) or 401(m)(2) under the
Savings Plan by the average of the high and low per share quoted sales prices of
Services Stock or Minerals Stock, as the case may be, as reported on the New
York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape on each trading day during the
month of
11
<PAGE>
April of the year in which such Units are credited to the Employee's Incentive
Account and (c) the deferral of all other Compensation (including related
Matching Contributions) by the average of the high and low per share quoted sale
prices of Services Stock or Minerals Stock, as the case may be, as reported on
the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape (i) on each trading day
during the period commencing on the first day of the month after the Employee's
salary (as such term is defined in the Savings Plan) equals the maximum amount
of considered compensation for such Year pursuant to Code Section 401(a)(17) and
ending on December 31 or (ii) in the event the Employee's salary equals the
maximum amount of considered compensation in December, on the first trading day
in the following January.
In addition, an additional number of Units shall be credited to an
Employee's Incentive Account as of the January 1 of the following Year in the
event a dividend or other distribution is paid with respect to shares of
Minerals Stock or Services Stock during the Year. The number of additional Units
shall be equal to the number of Minerals Shares and Services Shares, including
fractional shares (computed to the second decimal place), that could have been
purchased if (a) the number of Minerals Units and Services Units credited to the
Employee's Incentive Account, for the Year pursuant to the preceding paragraph
had been credited ratably throughout the portion of the Year commencing on the
first day of the month after the Employee's salary (as defined in the Savings
Plan) equals the maximum amount of considered compensation for such Year
pursuant to Code Section 401(a)(17), (b) the dividend or other distribution had
been paid to the Incentive Account on the payment date based on the number of
shares of the class giving rise to such dividend or distribution represented by
the Units credited pursuant to (a) above had a ratable number of Units been
credited on the record date for the dividend or distribution, and (c) such
dividend or the value of such distribution had been used to acquire additional
Units of the class giving rise to the dividend or other distribution. Such
additional Units shall be deemed to be purchased at the average of the high and
low per share quoted sale prices of Services Stock or Minerals Stock, as the
case may be, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction
Tape on the payment date for the dividend or other distribution. The value of
any distribution in property will be determined by the Committee.
Upon the Employee's termination of employment, any cash amounts not
converted into Units credited to his or her Incentive Account in dollars shall
be converted into Services Units and/or Minerals Units in accordance with the
Employee's election for the Year of termination in the manner described in the
first paragraph of this Section 7 based on the quoted sale prices of Services
Stock or Minerals Stock, as the case may be, as reported on the New York Stock
Exchange Composite Transaction Tape for each trading day during the portion of
the Year preceding the month of termination. Such Employee's Incentive Account
shall also be credited with an additional number of Units in the event a
dividend or other distribution is paid with respect to shares of Minerals Stock
or Services Stock during the Year prior to his or her termination of employment.
The additional number of Units shall be determined in accordance with the second
paragraph of this Section 7 assuming that the number of Minerals Units and
Services Units credited to his or her Incentive Account during the Year as a
result of his or her termination of employment had been credited ratably during
the portion of the Year preceding his or her termination.
SECTION 8. Adjustments. The Committee shall determine such equitable
adjustments in the Units credited to each Incentive Account as may be
appropriate to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,
merger, consolidation, reorganization, combination, or exchange of shares,
split-up,
12
<PAGE>
split-off, spin-off, liquidation or other similar change in capitalization, any
distribution to common shareholders other than cash dividends or any exchange of
Minerals Stock for Services Stock.
SECTION 9. Dividends and Distributions. Whenever a cash dividend or any
other distribution is paid with respect to shares of Minerals Stock or Services
Stock, the Incentive Account of each Employee will be credited with an
additional number of Minerals Units and/or Services Units equal to the number of
Minerals Shares and Services Shares, including fractional shares (computed to
the second decimal place), that could have been purchased had such dividend or
other distribution been paid to the Incentive Account on the payment date for
such dividend or distribution based on the number of shares of the class giving
rise to the dividend or other distribution represented by the Units in such
Incentive Account as of such date and assuming that the amount of such dividend
or value of such distribution had been used to acquire additional Units of the
class giving rise to the dividend or other distribution. Such additional Units
shall be deemed to be purchased at the average of the high and low per share
quoted sale prices of Services Stock or Minerals Stock, as the case may be, as
reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape on the
payment date for the dividend or other distribution. The value of any
distribution in property will be determined by the Committee.
ARTICLE VI
DISTRIBUTIONS
SECTION 1. Certain Payments on Termination of Employment. Each Employee who
has an Incentive Account shall receive a distribution in Minerals Stock and/or
Services Stock, in respect of all Units standing to the credit of such
Employee's Incentive Account (other than Units attributable to Matching
Incentive Contributions, Matching Salary Contributions and dividends related
thereto), in a single lump-sum distribution as soon as practicable following his
or her termination of employment; provided, however, that an Employee may elect,
at least 12 months prior to his or her termination of employment to receive
distribution of the Shares represented by the Units credited to his or her
Incentive Account in equal annual installments (not more than five) commencing
on the first day of the month next following the date of his or her termination
of employment (whether by death, disability, retirement or otherwise) or as
promptly as practicable thereafter. Such Employee may at any time elect to
change the manner of such payment, provided that any such election is made at
least 12 months in advance of his or her termination of employment.
The number of shares of Minerals Stock and/or Services Stock to be included
in each installment payment shall be determined by multiplying the number of
Minerals Units and/or Stock Units, respectively, in the Employee's Incentive
Account as of the 1st day of the month preceding the initial installment payment
and as of each succeeding anniversary of such date by a fraction, the numerator
or which is one and the denominator of which is the number of remaining
installments (including the current installment). Any fractional Units shall be
converted to cash based on the average of the high and low per share quoted sale
prices of the Services Stock or Minerals Stock, as the case may be, as reported
on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape, on the last trading
day of the month preceding the month of distribution and shall be paid in cash.
SECTION 2. Payments Attributable to Matching Incentive Contributions and
Matching Salary Contributions on Termination of Employment. In the event of the
termination of employment of an Employee as a result of (a) death, (b)
retirement after satisfying the requirements for early or normal
13
<PAGE>
retirement under a pension plan sponsored by the Company or a Subsidiary in
which the Employee participated, (c) total and permanent disability (as defined
in the Company's long-term disability plan) or (d) termination of employment for
any reason within three years following a Change in Control, the Employee shall
receive a distribution of Minerals Stock and/or Services Stock, in respect of
all Units standing to the credit of such Employee's Incentive Account
attributable to Matching Incentive Contributions, Matching Salary Contributions
and dividends related thereto in the same manner as provided in Section 1 of
this Article VI for the distribution of other Units standing to the credit of
such Employee's Incentive Account.
In the event of a termination of employment for a reason not described in
the preceding paragraph, the Employee shall forfeit the Units in his or her
Incentive Account attributable to Matching Incentive Contributions, Matching
Salary Contributions and dividends related thereto for the Year in which the
termination occurs. Such Employee shall be vested in the remaining Units
standing to the credit of such Employee in his or her Incentive Account
attributable to Matching Incentive Contributions, Matching Salary Contributions
and dividends related thereto in accordance with the following schedule:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
VESTED
MONTHS OF PARTICIPATION PERCENTAGE

<S> <C>
less than 36............................................................ 0
at least 36 but less than 48............................................ 50%
at least 48 but less than 60............................................ 75%
60 or more.............................................................. 100%
</TABLE>
An Employee shall receive credit for one 'month of participation' for each
calendar month during which a deferral election is in effect pursuant to Section
3 of Articles III or IV. Minerals Stock and/or Services Stock, in respect of the
vested Units standing to the credit of such Employee attributable to Matching
Incentive Contributions, Matching Salary Contributions and dividends related
thereto shall be distributed in a single lump sum as soon as practicable
following the third anniversary of his or her termination of employment.
SECTION 3. In-Service Distributions. Any Employee may make an election, on
or before December 31 of any Year, to receive a distribution in Minerals Stock
and/or Services Stock in a lump sum or in not more than five equal annual
installments, on or commencing as of January 1 of the second following Year (or
as promptly as practicable thereafter), in respect of all Services Units and
Minerals Units (other than Units attributable to Matching Incentive
Contributions, Matching Salary Contributions and dividends related thereto)
standing to his or her credit in such Incentive Account as of such January 1;
provided, however, that no such election shall be effective if (a) such Employee
has outstanding at such December 31 an election pursuant to Article III, IV or V
to defer any amounts hereunder or (b) such Employee's employment shall terminate
for any reason prior to such January 1. Such election to receive a distribution
or distributions shall be irrevocable, except that it may be revoked, and a new
election may be made, at any time prior to such December 31. The number of
shares of Minerals Stock and/or Services Stock (and the amount of cash
representing fractional Units) to be distributed shall be determined in the same
manner as provided in Section 1 of this Article VI.
14
<PAGE>
ARTICLE VII
DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY
An Employee may designate in a written election filed with the Committee a
beneficiary or beneficiaries (which may be an entity other than a natural
person) to receive all distributions and payments under the Program after the
Employee's death. Any such designation may be revoked, and a new election may be
made, at any time and from time to time, by the Employee without the consent of
any beneficiary. If the Employee designates more than one beneficiary, any
distributions and payments to such beneficiaries shall be made in equal
percentages unless the Employee has designated otherwise, in which case the
distributions and payments shall be made in the percentages designated by the
Employee. If no beneficiary has been named by the Employee or no beneficiary
survives the Employee, the remaining Shares (including fractional Shares) in the
Employee's Incentive Account shall be distributed or paid in a single sum to the
Employee's estate. In the event of a beneficiary's death after installment
payments to the beneficiary have commenced, the remaining installments will be
paid to a contingent beneficiary, if any, designated by the Employee or, in the
absence of a surviving contingent beneficiary, the remaining Shares (including
fractional Shares) shall be distributed or paid to the primary beneficiary's
estate in a single distribution. All distributions shall be made in Shares
except that fractional shares shall be paid in cash.
ARTICLE VIII
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 1. Nontransferability of Benefits. Except as provided in Article
VII, Units credited to an Incentive Account shall not be transferable by an
Employee or former Employee (or his or her beneficiaries) other than by will or
the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order.
No Employee, no person claiming through such Employee, nor any other person
shall have any right or interest under the Program, or in its continuance, in
the payment of any amount or distribution of any Shares under the Program,
unless and until all the provisions of the Program, any determination made by
the Committee thereunder, and any restrictions and limitations on the payment
itself have been fully complied with. Except as provided in this Section 1, no
rights under the Program, contingent or otherwise, shall be transferable,
assignable or subject to any pledge or encumbrance of any nature, nor shall the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries be obligated, except as otherwise required by
law, to recognize or give effect to any such transfer, assignment, pledge or
encumbrance.
SECTION 2. Notices. The Company may require all elections contemplated by
the Program to be made on forms provided by it. All notices, elections and other
communications pursuant to the Program shall be in writing and shall be
effective when received by the Company at the following address:
The Pittston Company
100 First Stamford Place
P. O. Box 120070
Stamford, CT 06912-0070
Attention of Vice President -- Human Resources
SECTION 3. Limitation on Rights of Employee. Nothing in this Program shall
be deemed to create, on the part of any Employee, beneficiary or other person,
(a) any interest of any kind in the assets of
15
<PAGE>
the Company or (b) any trust or fiduciary relationship in relation to the
Company. The right of an Employee to receive any Shares shall be no greater than
the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.
SECTION 4. No Contract of Employment. The benefits provided under the
Program for an Employee shall be in addition to, and in no way preclude, other
forms of compensation to or in respect of such Employee. However, the selection
of any Employee for participation in the Program shall not give such Employee
any right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
for any period. The right of the Company and of each such Subsidiary to
terminate the employment of any Employee for any reason or at any time is
specifically reserved.
SECTION 5. Withholding. All distributions pursuant to the Program shall be
subject to withholding in respect of income and other taxes required by law to
be withheld. The Company shall establish appropriate procedures to ensure
payment or withholding of such taxes. Such procedures may include arrangements
for payment or withholding of taxes by retaining Shares otherwise issuable in
accordance with the provisions of this Program or by accepting already owned
Shares, and by applying the fair market value of such Shares to the withholding
taxes payable.
SECTION 6. Amendment and Termination. The Committee from time to time amend
any of the provisions of the Program, or may at any time terminate the Program.
No amendment or termination shall adversely affect any Units (or distributions
in respect thereof) which shall theretofore have been credited to any Employee's
Incentive Account. In conjunction with the termination of the Program, the
Committee may in its discretion determine whether the value of all Units
credited to any or all of the Incentive Accounts under the Program shall be
distributed in Shares as promptly as practicable after such termination.
