          value $.50 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Tyco Inter-

          chase Agreement, dated June 8, 1994, between Tyco and

                         WARRANT REPURCHASE AGREEMENT

          This WARRANT REPURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of June 8,
          1994, is made and entered into by and between TYCO IN-
          VESTMENTS (AUSTRALIA) LIMITED, a company incorporated in
          New South Wales, Australia ("TIAL") and TYCO INTERNATION-
          AL LTD., a Massachusetts corporation ("Buyer").

          In connection with Buyer's acquisition of certain busi-
          nesses from TIAL (formerly Wormald International Limited)
          in 1990, Buyer granted to TIAL, pursuant to the terms of
          a certain Warrant Agreement, dated as of August 1, 1990,
          between Buyer and Mellon Bank, N.A., as Warrant Agent,
          warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 5,000,000
          shares of Buyer's common stock, par value $.50 per share
          (the "Warrants").  As of the date of this Agreement, TIAL
          is the sole record and beneficial owner of all such
          Warrants.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual terms,
          conditions and other agreements set forth herein, and for
          other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of
          which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intend-
          ing legally to be bound, hereby agree as follows:

          1.SALE AND PURCHASE.  Subject to and upon the terms and
          conditions set forth in this Agreement, TIAL hereby
          sells, assigns, transfers, conveys and delivers to Buyer,
          and Buyer hereby purchases from TIAL, all of the Warrants
          for a purchase price of $0.12 per Warrant or an aggregate
          purchase price of $600,000, payable by bank wire transfer
          of immediately available funds to an account of TIAL
          specified in writing to Buyer.  TIAL hereby delivers to
          Buyer, free and clear of any liens, claims, charges,
          security interests or other legal or equitable encum-
          brances, limitations or restrictions of any kind (collec-
          tively, "Liens"), Warrant certificates representing all
          of such Warrants, duly endorsed in blank for transfer.

          2.REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF TIAL.  TIAL hereby
          represents and warrants to Buyer as follows:

                    2.1.   Organization and Qualification.  TIAL is
          a corporation duly organized and validly existing under
          the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has all
          requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its
          business and to own, lease or operate its properties as
          and in the places where such business is now conducted or
          such properties are owned, leased or operated.

                    2.2.   Title to the Warrants.  TIAL is the sole
          record and beneficial owner of all of the Warrants, and
          has valid and marketable title to all of such Warrants,
          free and clear of any Liens, subject to the restrictions
          existing under the Standstill Agreement, dated as of
          August 1, 1990, by and among Buyer, TIAL and Netherlands
          Engineering Services B.V., and other applicable securi-
          ties laws.  Upon consummation of the transactions contem-
          plated by this Agreement, Buyer shall acquire valid and
          marketable title to the Warrants, free and clear of all
          Liens.

                    2.3.   Authorization and Validity of Agreement. 
          TIAL has all requisite legal capacity, power and authori-
          ty to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obli-
          gations hereunder.  This Agreement has been duly autho-
          rized, executed and delivered by TIAL and constitutes the
          valid and binding obligation of TIAL, enforceable against
          TIAL in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy,
          insolvency or other laws affecting the rights of credi-
          tors generally.  Neither the execution, delivery or
          performance of this Agreement nor the consummation of the
          transactions contemplated hereby by TIAL will conflict
          with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due
          notice or lapse of time or both) a default under (i) the
          Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws (or any equiva-
          lent document) of TIAL or (ii) any material contract,
          lease, loan agreement, mortgage, security agreement or
          other material agreement or instrument to which TIAL is a
          party or by which TIAL is bound.

                    2.4.   Access to Information and Determination
          to Sell.  TIAL has received such information regarding
          the business, financial condition and prospects of Buyer
          as it has deemed necessary in connection with the trans-
          actions contemplated by this Agreement and has otherwise
          had the opportunity to make inquiries of Buyer in connec-
          tion therewith.  TIAL acknowledges and confirms that its 
          decision to enter into this Agreement and to sell the
          Warrants to Buyer at the purchase price provided for by
          this Agreement were based upon its independent analysis
          of Buyer and Buyer's business, financial condition and
          prospects.

               3.   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BUYER.  Buyer
          hereby represents and warrants to TIAL as follows:

                    3.1.   Organization and Qualification.  Buyer
          is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in
          good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
          incorporation and has all requisite corporate power and
          authority to carry on its business and to own, lease or
          operate its properties as and in the places where such
          business is now conducted or such properties are owned,
          leased or operated.

                    3.2.   Authorization and Validity of Agreement. 
          Buyer has all requisite legal capacity, power and author-
          ity to enter into this Agreement and to perform its
          obligations hereunder.  This Agreement has been duly
          authorized, executed and delivered by Buyer and consti-
          tutes the valid and binding obligation of Buyer enforce-
          able against Buyer in accordance with its terms, subject
          to bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting the
          rights of creditors generally.  Neither the execution,
          delivery or performance of this Agreement nor the consum-
          mation of the transactions contemplated hereby by Buyer
          will conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute
          (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default
          under (i) the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of
          Buyer or (ii) any material contract, lease, loan agree-
          ment, mortgage, security agreement or other material
          agreement or instrument to which Buyer is a party or by
          which Buyer is bound.

               4.   MISCELLANEOUS.

                    4.1.   Governing Law; Jurisdiction.  THIS
          AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED, PERFORMED AND ENFORCED IN
          ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF
          THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE
          PRINCIPLES OF THE CONFLICT OF LAWS THEREOF.  Each of
          Buyer and TIAL consents and submits to the jurisdiction
          of any state court sitting in the County of New York or
          Federal court sitting in the Southern District of the
          State of New York in connection with any dispute arising
          out of or relating to this Agreement, and further waives
          any objection to the laying of venue in such courts and
          any claim that any such action has been brought in an
          inconvenient forum.

                    4.2.   Entire Agreement.  This Agreement con-
          tains the entire understanding between the parties hereto
          with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and
          supersedes and replaces all prior and contemporaneous
          agreements and understandings, oral or written, with
          regard to such transactions.

                    4.3.   Survival of Provisions.  The respective
          representations and warranties contained in this Agree-
          ment shall survive the consummation of the transactions
          contemplated by this Agreement, and shall remain opera-
          tive regardless of any disclosure to, or investigation
          made by or on behalf of, such party on or before the date
          hereof.

                    4.4.   Counterparts.  This Agreement may be
          executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed
          an original, but all of which shall constitute the same
          instrument.


                    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused
          this Agreement to be executed by their respective offi-
          cers thereunto duly authorized on the date first written
          above.
