Exhibit 1.3
TYCO INTERNATIONAL GROUP S.A.
$400,000,000 of 6 1/8% Notes due 2009
Underwriting Agreement
January 7, 1999
To the Representatives named
in Schedule I hereto of the
Underwriters named in
Schedule II hereto
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Tyco International Group S.A., a Luxembourg company (the "COMPANY"),
proposes to issue and sell to the underwriters named in Schedule II hereto (the
"UNDERWRITERS"), for whom you are acting as representatives (the
"REPRESENTATIVES"), the principal amount of its debt securities identified in
Schedule I hereto (the "SECURITIES"), to be issued under the indenture specified
in Schedule I hereto (the "INDENTURE") among the Company, Tyco International
Ltd., a Bermuda company and the sole shareholder of the Company ("TYCO"), and
the Trustee identified in Schedule I (the "TRUSTEE"). The Securities will be
unconditionally guaranteed by Tyco. If the firm or firms listed in Schedule II
hereto include only the firm or firms listed in Schedule I hereto, then the
terms "UNDERWRITERS" and "REPRESENTATIVES", as used herein shall each be deemed
to refer to such firm or firms.
The Company and Tyco have prepared and filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "COMMISSION") in accordance with the provisions of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the
Commission thereunder (collectively, the "SECURITIES ACT"), a registration
statement (the file number of which is set forth in Schedule I hereto) on Form
S-3, relating to certain debt securities (the "DEBT SECURITIES") to be issued
from time to time by the Company and guarantees to be issued by Tyco (the
"GUARANTEES" and, together with the Debt Securities, the "SHELF SECURITIES").
The Company and Tyco also have filed with, or propose to file with, the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act a prospectus supplement
specifically relating to the Securities and the Guarantees. The registration
statement, as amended to the date of this Agreement, is hereinafter referred to
as the "REGISTRATION STATEMENT" and the related prospectus covering the Shelf
Securities in the form first used to confirm sales of the Securities and the
Guarantees is hereinafter referred to as the "BASIC PROSPECTUS". The Basic
Prospectus as supplemented by the prospectus supplement specifically relating to
the Securities and the Guarantees in the form first used to confirm sales of the
Securities is hereinafter referred to as the "PROSPECTUS". If the Company and
Tyco have filed an abbreviated registration statement pursuant to Rule 462(b)
under the Securities Act (the "RULE 462 REGISTRATION STATEMENT"), then any
reference herein to the
<PAGE>
term "Registration Statement" shall be deemed to include such Rule 462
Registration Statement. Any reference in this Agreement to the Registration
Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any preliminary form of Prospectus (a
"PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS") previously filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
424 or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents
incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the
Securities Act which were filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder
(collectively, the "EXCHANGE ACT") on or before the date of this Agreement or
the date of the Basic Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus,
as the case may be; and any reference to "amend", "amendment" or "supplement"
with respect to the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any
preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include
any documents filed under the Exchange Act after the date of this Agreement, or
the date of the Basic Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus,
as the case may be, which are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein;
provided, however, that documents incorporated by reference shall not be deemed
to include any document filed by the Company or Tyco under the Exchange Act to
the extent that it is superseded in whole or in part by any document
subsequently filed by the Company or Tyco pursuant to the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act. For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration
Statement, any preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus, or any amendment or
supplement to any of the foregoing shall be deemed to include the copy filed
with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and
Retrieval System ("EDGAR").
The Company and Tyco hereby agree with the Underwriters as follows:
1. The Company agrees to issue and sell the Securities and Tyco agrees
to issue the Guarantees to the several Underwriters as hereinafter provided, and
each Underwriter, on the basis of the representations and warranties herein
contained, but subject to the conditions hereinafter stated, agrees to purchase,
severally and not jointly, from the Company the respective principal amount of
Securities set forth opposite such Underwriter's name in Schedule II hereto at
the purchase price set forth in Schedule I hereto plus accrued interest, if any,
from the date specified in Schedule I hereto to the date of payment and
delivery.
2. The Company and Tyco understand that the several Underwriters intend
(i) to make a public offering of their respective portions of the Securities and
the Guarantees and (ii) initially to offer the Securities and the Guarantees
upon the terms set forth in the Prospectus.
3. Payment for the Securities shall be made by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company to the
Representatives no later than noon on the Business Day prior to the Closing Date
(as defined below), on the date and at the time and place set forth in Schedule
I hereto (or at such other time and place on the same or such other date, not
later than the fifth Business Day (as defined below) thereafter, as you, the
Company may agree in writing). As used herein, the term "BUSINESS DAY" means any
day other than a day on which banks are permitted or required to be
-2-
<PAGE>
closed in New York City. The time and date of such payment and delivery with
respect to the Securities are referred to herein as the "CLOSING DATE".
Payment for the Securities shall be made against delivery to the
nominee of The Depository Trust Company for the respective accounts of the
several Underwriters of one or more global notes (the "GLOBAL NOTES")
representing the Securities, with any transfer taxes payable in connection with
the transfer to the Underwriters of the Securities duly paid by the Company. The
Global Notes will be made available for inspection by the Representatives at the
office of J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., 60 Wall Street, New York, New York 10260,
not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Business Day prior to the
Closing Date.
4. The Company and Tyco, jointly and severally, represent and warrant
to each Underwriter that:
(a) the Company and Tyco meet the requirements for use of the Form S-3
under the Securities Act in respect of the registration of the Securities and
the Guarantees, the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the
Commission under the Securities Act; no stop order suspending the effectiveness
of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose
has been instituted or, to the knowledge of the Company or Tyco, threatened by
the Commission and any request on the part of the Commission for additional
information has been complied with; and the Registration Statement and
Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company and Tyco shall have
furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) comply, or will comply, as the
case may be, in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the
Commission thereunder (collectively, the "TRUST INDENTURE ACT"), and do not and
will not, as of the applicable effective date as to the Registration Statement
and any amendment thereto and as of the date of the Prospectus and any amendment
or supplement thereto, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus and any amendment or
supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made) not misleading, and the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented at the
Closing Date, if applicable, will not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
provided, however, that the foregoing representations and warranties shall not
apply to (i) that part of the Registration Statement which constitutes the
Statement of Eligibility and Qualification (Form T-1) under the Trust Indenture
Act of the Trustee, and (ii) statements or omissions in the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with
information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company or Tyco in
writing by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use
therein; each preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus, including any amendment
or supplement thereto, delivered to the Underwriters for use in connection with
the offering contemplated hereby were identical to the electronically
transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except
to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T of the Securities Act;
-3-
<PAGE>
(b) the documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, when
they became effective or were filed with the Commission, as the case may be,
conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act or
the Exchange Act, as applicable, and none of such documents contained an untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and any further
documents so filed and incorporated by reference in the Prospectus or any
further amendment or supplement thereto, when such documents become effective or
are filed with the Commission, as the case may be, will conform in all material
respects to the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as
applicable, and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading;
(c) PricewaterhouseCoopers and each of the other accounting firms who
certified the financial statements and supporting schedules included or
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement are independent public
accountants required by the Securities Act;
(d) the financial statements, and the related schedules and notes
thereto, included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and
the Prospectus present fairly the consolidated financial position of Tyco and
its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates indicated and the results of their
operations and the changes in their consolidated cash flows for the periods
specified; said financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") applied on a
consistent basis, except as otherwise disclosed therein, and the supporting

present fairly in accordance with GAAP the information required to be stated
therein; the pro forma financial information, and the related notes thereto,

of the audited financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the

(e) since the respective dates as of which information is given in the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus, there has not been any change in the
capital stock or long-term debt (on a consolidated basis) of Tyco, or any
material adverse change that is reasonably likely to occur, or any development
involving a prospective material adverse change, in or affecting the general
affairs, business, prospects, management, financial position, shareholders'
equity or results of operations of Tyco and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole,
whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business (a "MATERIAL ADVERSE
EFFECT"), otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Prospectus; and

other) to own, lease and operate its properties and conduct its business as
described in the Prospectus, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to

Company or Tyco, and (iv) of the receipt by the Company or Tyco of any
notification with respect to any suspension of the qualification of the
Securities and the Guarantees for offer and sale in any jurisdiction or the
initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and to use
their best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or
notification and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal

(f) the Company and Tyco will comply with the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act so as to permit the completion of the distribution of the
Securities and the Guarantees contemplated in this Agreement and in the
Prospectus;
(g) if, during such period after the first date of the public
offering of the Securities and the Guarantees as in the opinion of counsel
for the Underwriters a prospectus relating to the Securities and the
Guarantees is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales of the
Securities and the Guarantees by an Underwriter or dealer, any event shall
occur as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the
Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not
misleading, or if it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to
comply with law, forthwith to prepare and furnish, at the expense of the
Company and Tyco, to the Underwriters and to the dealers (whose names and
addresses you will furnish to the Company) to which Securities may have been
sold by you on behalf of the Underwriters and to any other dealers upon
request, such amendments or supplements to the Prospectus as may be necessary
so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will
not, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus is delivered to a
purchaser, be misleading or so that the Prospectus will comply with law;
(h) to endeavor to qualify the Securities and the Guarantees for
offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as
you shall reasonably request and to continue such qualification in effect so
long as reasonably required for distribution of the Securities and the
Guarantees; provided that neither the Company nor Tyco shall be required to
file a general consent to service of process or qualify as a foreign
corporation in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or as a
dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or
subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction
in which it is not so subject;

the Securities pursuant to this Agreement in the manner specified in the
Prospectus under
-9-
<PAGE>
"Use of Proceeds";
(j) to make generally available to their security holders and to you
as soon as practicable an earnings statement which shall satisfy the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 of the
Commission promulgated thereunder covering a period of at least twelve months
beginning with the first fiscal quarter of Tyco occurring after the
"effective date" (as defined in Rule 158) of the Registration Statement;
(k) so long as the Securities and the Guarantees are outstanding, to
furnish to you copies of all reports or other communications (financial or
other) furnished to holders of Securities and the Guarantees, and copies of
any reports and financial statements furnished to or filed with the
Commission or any national securities exchange;
(l) during the period beginning on the date hereof and continuing to
and including the Business Day following the Closing Date, not to offer,
sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any debt securities of or

Securities or the Guarantees without prior written consent of the
Representatives; and
(m)whether or not the transactions contemplated in this Agreement
are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, to pay or cause to be paid
all costs and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations

authentication and delivery of the Securities and the Guarantees, including
any expenses of the Trustee, (ii) incident to the preparation, printing and
filing under the Securities Act of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus
and any preliminary prospectus (including in each case all exhibits,

registration or qualification and determination of eligibility for investment
of the Securities and the Guarantees under the laws of such jurisdictions as

the Securities and the Guarantees on any stock exchange, (v) related to any
filing with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., (vi) in
connection with the printing (including word processing and duplication
costs) and delivery of this Agreement, the Indenture, the Preliminary and
Supplemental Blue Sky Memoranda and any Legal Investment Survey and the
furnishing to the Underwriters and dealers of copies of the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus, including mailing and shipping, as herein
provided and (vii) payable to rating agencies in connection with the rating
of the Securities, it being understood that the Company and Tyco shall not be
responsible for the fees and expenses of counsel to the Underwriters except
as explicitly set forth herein.
6. The several obligations of the Underwriters hereunder shall be
subject to the following conditions:
(a) the representations and warranties of the Company and Tyco

(c) subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and
prior to the Closing Date, there shall not have occurred any downgrading, nor

under the Securities Act;
(d) since the respective dates as of which information is given in
the Prospectus there shall not have been any material change in the capital
stock or long-term debt of Tyco or any of its subsidiaries, or any Material

the effect of which in the judgment of the Representatives makes it
impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the
delivery of the Securities and the Guarantees on the terms and in the manner
contemplated in the Prospectus; and neither Tyco nor any of its subsidiaries
has sustained since the date of the latest audited financial statements
included or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus any material loss or

whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or

7. The Company and Tyco, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify
and hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any
Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages and liabilities (including without limitation the reasonable legal
fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or
proceeding or any claim asserted) caused by any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement
or the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company or Tyco shall
have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any preliminary
prospectus, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities are caused by any untrue statement or omission or
alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity
with information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company or Tyco
in writing by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use
therein; provided that the foregoing indemnity with respect to any
preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter (or
to the benefit of any person controlling such Underwriter) from whom the
person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased
Securities if such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement
or omission made in such preliminary prospectus is eliminated or remedied in
the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have
furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) and, if required by law, a
copy of the Prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) shall not have been
furnished to such person at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale
of such Securities to such person.
Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, Tyco and their respective directors and officers who
sign the Registration Statement and each person who controls the Company or Tyco
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the
Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and
Tyco to each Underwriter, but only with reference to information relating to
such Underwriter furnished to the Company and Tyco in writing by such
Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration
Statement, the Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto,
-12-
<PAGE>
or any preliminary prospectus.
If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or
regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against
any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either of the
two preceding paragraphs, such person (the "INDEMNIFIED PERSON") shall promptly
notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the "INDEMNIFYING
PERSON") in writing, and the Indemnifying Person, upon request of the
Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others the
Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and
expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any
Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees
and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person
unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have
mutually agreed to the contrary, (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within
a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified
Person or (iii) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any
impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified
Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is
understood that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any
proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the
fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local
counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall
be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for the Underwriters
and such control persons of Underwriters shall be designated in writing by the
first of the named Representatives on Schedule I hereto and any such separate
firm for the Company, Tyco and their respective directors and officers who sign
the Registration Statement and such control persons of the Company and Tyco
shall be designated in writing by the Company and Tyco. The Indemnifying Person
shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its
written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final
judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify any
Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such
settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time
an Indemnified Person shall have requested an Indemnifying Person to reimburse
the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the
third sentence of this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person agrees that it shall
be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written
consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt
by such Indemnifying Person of the aforesaid request and (ii) such Indemnifying
Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such
request prior to the date of such settlement unless the Indemnifying Person in
good faith shall be contesting the reasonableness of such fees and expenses (but
only to the extent so contested) or the entitlement of the Indemnified Person to
indemnification under the terms of this Section 7. No Indemnifying Person shall,
without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any
settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any
Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been
sought hereunder by such Indemnified
-13-
<PAGE>
Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such
Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of
such proceeding.
If the indemnification provided for in the first and second paragraphs
of this Section 7 is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in
respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then
each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such
Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
benefits received by the Company and Tyco on the one hand and the Underwriters
on the other hand from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation
provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred
to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and Tyco on
the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements
or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits
received by the Company and Tyco on the one hand and the Underwriters on the
other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net
proceeds from the offering of such Securities and Guarantees (net of
underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received
by the Company and Tyco and the total underwriting discounts and the commissions
received by the Underwriters bear to the aggregate public offering price of the
Securities and Guarantees. The relative fault of the Company and Tyco on the one
hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by the Company and Tyco or by the Underwriters and the
parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The Company, Tyco and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just
and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro
rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such
purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the
equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The
amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses,
claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth
above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified
Person in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall an
Underwriter be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by
which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed
to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that
such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not
guilty of
-14-
<PAGE>
such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters' obligations to contribute
pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to the respective principal
amount of the Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule II hereto,
and not joint.
The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall
not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any
indemnified party at law or in equity.
The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 7
and the representations and warranties of the Company and Tyco set forth in this
Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i)
any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf
of any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter or by or on behalf
of the Company, Tyco, their respective officers or directors or any other person
controlling the Company or Tyco and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of
the Securities and the Guarantees.
8. Notwithstanding anything herein contained, this Agreement may be
terminated in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice given
to the Company or Tyco, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement
and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended
or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock
Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq National Market, the
Chicago Board Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the
Chicago Board of Trade, (ii) trading of any securities of or guaranteed by
the Company or Tyco shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any
over-the-counter market, (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking
activities in New York shall have been declared by either Federal or New York
State authorities, or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or
escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity
or crisis that, in the judgment of the Representatives, is material and
adverse and which, in the judgment of the Representatives, makes it
impracticable to market the Securities on the terms and in the manner
contemplated in the Prospectus.
9. If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the Underwriters
shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities which it or they have agreed to
purchase under this Agreement, and the aggregate principal amount of
Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but
failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate
principal amount of the Securities, the other Underwriters shall be obligated
severally in the proportions that the principal amount of Securities set
forth opposite their respective names in Schedule II hereto bears to the
aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all
such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as the
Representatives may specify, to purchase the Securities which such defaulting
Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such
date; provided that in no event shall the principal amount of Securities that
any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to Section 1 be increased
pursuant to this Section 9 by an amount in excess of one-tenth of such
principal amount of Securities without the written consent of such
Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter
-15-
<PAGE>
or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities and the aggregate
principal amount of Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more
than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased,
and arrangements satisfactory to you, the Company and Tyco for the purchase of
such Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement
shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter,
the Company or Tyco. In any such case either you or the Company shall have the
right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days,
in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement and in
the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Any
action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter
from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this
Agreement.
10. If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or
any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company or
Tyco to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this
Agreement, or if for any reason the Company or Tyco shall be unable to
perform its obligations under this Agreement or any condition of the
Underwriters' obligations cannot be fulfilled, the Company and Tyco agree to
reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this
Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket
expenses (including the fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably
incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the
offering of the Securities and the Guarantees.
11. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon
the Company, Tyco, the Underwriters and any Indemnified Persons referred to
herein and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing expressed or
mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any
other person, firm or corporation any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein
contained. No purchaser of Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed to
be a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.
12. Any action by the Underwriters hereunder may be taken by you
jointly or by the first of the named Representatives set forth in Schedule I
hereto alone on behalf of the Underwriters, and any such action taken by you
jointly or by the first of the named Representatives set forth in Schedule I
hereto alone shall be binding upon the Underwriters. All notices and other
communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to
have been duly given if mailed or transmitted by any standard form of
telecommunication. Notices to the Underwriters shall be given at the address
set forth in Schedule I hereto. Notices to the Company and Tyco shall be
given to them, if the Company, at 6, avenue Emile Reuter, 2nd Floor, L-2420,
Luxembourg, Attention: the Managing Directors; if to Tyco, at The Gibbons
Building, 10 Queens Street, Suite 301, Hamilton HM 11, Bermuda, Attention:
Secretary, with a copy to Tyco International (US), Inc., One Tyco Park,
Exeter, New Hampshire 03833; Attention: General Counsel.
13. Each of the Company and Tyco (i) agrees that any legal suit,
action or proceeding brought by any party to enforce any rights under or with
respect to this Agreement or any other document or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby may be instituted in any state or federal
court in The City of New York, State of New York,
-16-
<PAGE>
U.S.A., (ii) irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any
objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such
suit, action or proceeding, (iii) irrevocably waives to the fullest extent
permitted by law any claim that and agrees not to claim or plead in any court
that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in such court has been brought
in an inconvenient forum and (iv) irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding or for
recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof.
Each of the Company and Tyco hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
designates and appoints CT Corporation System, 1633 Broadway, New York, New York
10019, U.S.A. (and any successor entity) as its authorized agent to receive and
forward on its behalf service of any and all process which may be served in any
such suit, action or proceeding in any such court and agrees that service of
process upon CT Corporation shall be deemed in every respect effective service
of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and shall be taken and
held to be valid personal service upon it. Said designation and appointment
shall be irrevocable. Nothing in this Section 13 shall affect the right of the
Underwriters, their affiliates or any indemnified party to serve process in any
manner permitted by law or limit the right of the Underwriters, their affiliates
or any indemnified party to bring proceedings against the Company or Tyco in the
courts of any jurisdiction or jurisdictions. Each of the Company and Tyco
further agrees to take any and all action, including the execution and filing of
any and all such documents and instruments, as may be necessary to continue such
designation and appointment of CT Corporation in full force and effect so long
as the Securities and the Guarantees are outstanding but in no event for a
period longer than five years from the date of this Agreement. Each of the
Company and Tyco hereby irrevocably and unconditionally authorizes and directs
CT Corporation to accept such service on its behalf. If for any reason CT
Corporation ceases to be available to act as such, each of the Company and Tyco
agrees to designate a new agent in New York City on the terms and for the
purposes of this provision reasonably satisfactory to the Underwriters.
To the extent that either the Company or Tyco has or hereafter may
acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court (including, without
limitation, any court in the United States, the State of New York, Luxembourg,
Bermuda or any political subdivision thereof) or from any legal process (whether
through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of
execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property or
assets, this Agreement, or any other documents or actions to enforce judgments
in respect of any thereof, it hereby irrevocably waives such immunity, and any
defense based on such immunity, in respect of its obligations under the
above-referenced documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, to the
extent permitted by law.
14. If pursuant to a judgment or order being made or registered
against the Company or Tyco, any payment under or in connection with this
Agreement to an Underwriter is made or satisfied in a currency (the "JUDGMENT
CURRENCY") other than in United States dollars then, to the extent that the
payment (when converted into United States dollars at the rate of exchange on
the date of payment or, if it is not practicable for such Underwriter to
purchase United States dollars with the Judgment Currency on the
-17-
<PAGE>
date of payment, at the rate of exchange as soon thereafter as it is practicable
for it to do so) actually received by such Underwriter falls short of the amount
due under the terms of this Agreement, the Company or Tyco shall, to the extent
permitted by law, as a separate and independent obligation, indemnify and hold
harmless such Underwriter against the amount of such short fall and such
indemnity shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such
judgment or order as aforesaid. For the purpose of this Section, "rate of
exchange" means the rate at which the Underwriter is able on the relevant date
to purchase United States dollars with the Judgment Currency and shall take into
account any premium and other costs of exchange.
15. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which
shall be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the
same instrument. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to
the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.
Very truly yours,

TYCO INTERNATIONAL GROUP S.A.
$800,000,000 6 7/8% Notes due 2029
Underwriting Agreement
January 7, 1999
To the Representatives named
in Schedule I hereto of the
Underwriters named in
Schedule II hereto
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Tyco International Group S.A., a Luxembourg company (the "COMPANY"),
proposes to issue and sell to the underwriters named in Schedule II hereto (the
"UNDERWRITERS"), for whom you are acting as representatives (the
"REPRESENTATIVES"), the principal amount of its debt securities identified in
Schedule I hereto (the "SECURITIES"), to be issued under the indenture specified
in Schedule I hereto (the "INDENTURE") among the Company, Tyco International
Ltd., a Bermuda company and the sole shareholder of the Company ("TYCO"), and
the Trustee identified in Schedule I (the "TRUSTEE"). The Securities will be
unconditionally guaranteed by Tyco. If the firm or firms listed in Schedule II
hereto include only the firm or firms listed in Schedule I hereto, then the
terms "UNDERWRITERS" and "REPRESENTATIVES", as used herein shall each be deemed
to refer to such firm or firms.
The Company and Tyco have prepared and filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "COMMISSION") in accordance with the provisions of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the
Commission thereunder (collectively, the "SECURITIES ACT"), a registration
statement (the file number of which is set forth in Schedule I hereto) on Form
S-3, relating to certain debt securities (the "DEBT SECURITIES") to be issued
from time to time by the Company and guarantees to be issued by Tyco (the
"GUARANTEES" and, together with the Debt Securities, the "SHELF SECURITIES").
The Company and Tyco also have filed with, or propose to file with, the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act a prospectus supplement
specifically relating to the Securities and the Guarantees. The registration
statement, as amended to the date of this Agreement, is hereinafter referred to
as the "REGISTRATION STATEMENT" and the related prospectus covering the Shelf
Securities in the form first used to confirm sales of the Securities and the
Guarantees is hereinafter referred to as the "BASIC PROSPECTUS". The Basic
Prospectus as supplemented by the prospectus supplement specifically relating to
the Securities and the Guarantees in the form first used to confirm sales of the
Securities is hereinafter referred to as the "PROSPECTUS". If the Company and
Tyco have filed an abbreviated registration statement pursuant to Rule 462(b)
under the Securities Act (the "RULE 462 REGISTRATION STATEMENT"), then any
reference herein to the
<PAGE>
term "Registration Statement" shall be deemed to include such Rule 462
Registration Statement. Any reference in this Agreement to the Registration
Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any preliminary form of Prospectus (a
"PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS") previously filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
424 or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents
incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the
Securities Act which were filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder
(collectively, the "EXCHANGE ACT") on or before the date of this Agreement or
the date of the Basic Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus,
as the case may be; and any reference to "amend", "amendment" or "supplement"
with respect to the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any
preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include
any documents filed under the Exchange Act after the date of this Agreement, or
the date of the Basic Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus,
as the case may be, which are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein;
provided, however, that documents incorporated by reference shall not be deemed
to include any document filed by the Company or Tyco under the Exchange Act to
the extent that it is superseded in whole or in part by any document
subsequently filed by the Company or Tyco pursuant to the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act. For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration
Statement, any preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus, or any amendment or
supplement to any of the foregoing shall be deemed to include the copy filed
with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and
Retrieval System ("EDGAR").
The Company and Tyco hereby agree with the Underwriters as follows:
1. The Company agrees to issue and sell the Securities and Tyco
agrees to issue the Guarantees to the several Underwriters as hereinafter
provided, and each Underwriter, on the basis of the representations and
warranties herein contained, but subject to the conditions hereinafter
stated, agrees to purchase, severally and not jointly, from the Company the
respective principal amount of Securities set forth opposite such
Underwriter's name in Schedule II hereto at the purchase price set forth in
Schedule I hereto plus accrued interest, if any, from the date specified in
Schedule I hereto to the date of payment and delivery.
2. The Company and Tyco understand that the several Underwriters
intend (i) to make a public offering of their respective portions of the
Securities and the Guarantees and (ii) initially to offer the Securities and
the Guarantees upon the terms set forth in the Prospectus.
3. Payment for the Securities shall be made by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company to the
Representatives no later than noon on the Business Day prior to the Closing
Date (as defined below), on the date and at the time and place set forth in
Schedule I hereto (or at such other time and place on the same or such other
date, not later than the fifth Business Day (as defined below) thereafter, as
you, the Company may agree in writing). As used herein, the term "BUSINESS
DAY" means any day other than a day on which banks are permitted or required
to be
-2-
<PAGE>
closed in New York City. The time and date of such payment and delivery with
respect to the Securities are referred to herein as the "CLOSING DATE".
Payment for the Securities shall be made against delivery to the
nominee of The Depository Trust Company for the respective accounts of the
several Underwriters of one or more global notes (the "GLOBAL NOTES")
representing the Securities, with any transfer taxes payable in connection with
the transfer to the Underwriters of the Securities duly paid by the Company. The
Global Notes will be made available for inspection by the Representatives at the
office of J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., 60 Wall Street, New York, New York 10260,
not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Business Day prior to the
Closing Date.

S-3 under the Securities Act in respect of the registration of the Securities
and the Guarantees, the Registration Statement has been declared effective by
the Commission under the Securities Act; no stop order suspending the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceeding
for that purpose has been instituted or, to the knowledge of the Company or
Tyco, threatened by the Commission and any request on the part of the
Commission for additional information has been complied with; and the
Registration Statement and Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the
Company and Tyco shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto)
comply, or will comply, as the case may be, in all material respects with the
Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and the rules
and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the "TRUST
INDENTURE ACT"), and do not and will not, as of the applicable effective date
as to the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto and as of the date
of the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of
the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, and the Prospectus,
as amended or supplemented at the Closing Date, if applicable, will not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however,
that the foregoing representations and warranties shall not apply to (i) that
part of the Registration Statement which constitutes the Statement of
Eligibility and Qualification (Form T-1) under the Trust Indenture Act of the
Trustee, and (ii) statements or omissions in the Registration Statement or
the Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with information
relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company or Tyco in writing by
such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein; each
preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus, including any amendment or
supplement thereto, delivered to the Underwriters for use in connection with
the offering contemplated hereby were identical to the electronically
transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR,
except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T of the Securities Act;

they became effective or were filed with the Commission, as the case may be,

or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and none of such documents contained an
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
and any further documents so filed and incorporated by reference in the
Prospectus or any further amendment or supplement thereto, when such
documents become effective or are filed with the Commission, as the case may
be, will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and will not contain an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the

(e) during the period mentioned in paragraph (g) below, to advise

Company or Tyco, and (iv) of the receipt by the Company or Tyco of any
notification with respect to any suspension of the qualification of the
Securities and the Guarantees for offer and sale in any jurisdiction or the
initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and to use
their best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or
notification and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal

(f) the Company and Tyco will comply with the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act so as to permit the completion of the distribution of the

Prospectus;
(g) if, during such period after the first date of the public
offering of the Securities and the Guarantees as in the opinion of counsel
for the Underwriters a prospectus relating to the Securities and the
Guarantees is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales of the
Securities and the Guarantees by an Underwriter or dealer, any event shall
occur as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the
Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not
misleading, or if it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to
comply with law, forthwith to prepare and furnish, at the expense of the
Company and Tyco, to the Underwriters and to the dealers (whose names and
addresses you will furnish to the Company) to which Securities may have been
sold by you on behalf of the Underwriters and to any other dealers upon
request, such amendments or supplements to the Prospectus as may be necessary
so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will
not, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus is delivered to a
purchaser, be misleading or so that the Prospectus will comply with law;
(h) to endeavor to qualify the Securities and the Guarantees for
offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as
you shall reasonably request and to continue such qualification in effect so
long as reasonably required for distribution of the Securities and the
Guarantees; provided that neither the Company nor Tyco shall be required to
file a general consent to service of process or qualify as a foreign
corporation in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or as a
dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or
subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction
in which it is not so subject;
(i) to use the net proceeds received by the Company from the sale of
the Securities pursuant to this Agreement in the manner specified in the
Prospectus under
-9-
<PAGE>
"Use of Proceeds";
(j) to make generally available to their security holders and to you
as soon as practicable an earnings statement which shall satisfy the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 of the
Commission promulgated thereunder covering a period of at least twelve months
beginning with the first fiscal quarter of Tyco occurring after the
"effective date" (as defined in Rule 158) of the Registration Statement;
(k) so long as the Securities and the Guarantees are outstanding, to
furnish to you copies of all reports or other communications (financial or
other) furnished to holders of Securities and the Guarantees, and copies of
any reports and financial statements furnished to or filed with the
Commission or any national securities exchange;
(l) during the period beginning on the date hereof and continuing to
and including the Business Day following the Closing Date, not to offer,
sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any debt securities of or
guaranteed by the Company or Tyco which are substantially similar to the
Securities or the Guarantees without prior written consent of the
Representatives; and
(m) whether or not the transactions contemplated in this Agreement
are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, to pay or cause to be paid
all costs and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations
hereunder, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all
costs and expenses (i) incident to the preparation, issuance, execution,
authentication and delivery of the Securities and the Guarantees, including
any expenses of the Trustee, (ii) incident to the preparation, printing and
filing under the Securities Act of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus
and any preliminary prospectus (including in each case all exhibits,
amendments and supplements thereto), (iii) incurred in connection with the
registration or qualification and determination of eligibility for investment
of the Securities and the Guarantees under the laws of such jurisdictions as
the Underwriters may designate, including reasonable fees of counsel for the

the Securities and the Guarantees on any stock exchange, (v) related to any
filing with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., (vi) in
connection with the printing (including word processing and duplication
costs) and delivery of this Agreement, the Indenture, the Preliminary and
Supplemental Blue Sky Memoranda and any Legal Investment Survey and the
furnishing to the Underwriters and dealers of copies of the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus, including mailing and shipping, as herein
provided and (vii) payable to rating agencies in connection with the rating
of the Securities, it being understood that the Company and Tyco shall not be
responsible for the fees and expenses of counsel to the Underwriters except
as explicitly set forth herein.
6. The several obligations of the Underwriters hereunder shall be
subject to the following conditions:
(a) the representations and warranties of the Company and Tyco
contained herein are true and correct on and as of the Closing Date as if
made on and as of the Closing Date, and the Company and Tyco shall have
complied with all agreements and all conditions on their part to be performed
or satisfied hereunder at or prior to the Closing Date;
(b) the Prospectus shall have been filed with the Commission

proceedings for such purpose shall be pending before or threatened by the
Commission; and all requests for additional information on the part of the
Commission shall have been complied with to your satisfaction;
(c) subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and
prior to the Closing Date, there shall not have occurred any downgrading, nor
shall any notice have been given of (i) any downgrading, (ii) any intended or
potential downgrading or (iii) any review or possible change that does not
indicate an improvement, in the rating accorded any securities of or
guaranteed by the Company or Tyco by any "nationally recognized statistical
rating organization", as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2)
under the Securities Act;
(d) since the respective dates as of which information is given in
the Prospectus there shall not have been any material change in the capital
stock or long-term debt of Tyco or any of its subsidiaries, or any Material
Adverse Effect otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Prospectus,
the effect of which in the judgment of the Representatives makes it
impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the
delivery of the Securities and the Guarantees on the terms and in the manner
contemplated in the Prospectus; and neither Tyco nor any of its subsidiaries
has sustained since the date of the latest audited financial statements
included or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus any material loss or
interference with its business from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity,
whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or
governmental action, order to decree, otherwise than as et forth or
contemplated in the Prospectus;
(e) the Representatives shall have received on and as of the Closing

financial information contained in the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus;
(k) you shall have received on and as of the Closing Date an opinion
of Davis Polk & Wardwell, counsel to the Underwriters, with respect to the
validity of the Indenture, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and
other related matters as the Representatives may reasonably request, and such

reasonably request to enable them to pass upon such matters; and
(l) on or prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall have
furnished to the Representatives such further certificates and documents as
the Representatives shall reasonably request.
7. The Company and Tyco, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify
and hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any
Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages and liabilities (including without limitation the reasonable legal
fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or
proceeding or any claim asserted) caused by any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement
or the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company or Tyco shall
have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any preliminary
prospectus, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities are caused by any untrue statement or omission or
alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity
with information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company or Tyco
in writing by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use
therein; provided that the foregoing indemnity with respect to any
preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter (or
to the benefit of any person controlling such Underwriter) from whom the
person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased
Securities if such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement
or omission made in such preliminary prospectus is eliminated or remedied in
the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have
furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) and, if required by law, a
copy of the Prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) shall not have been
furnished to such person at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale
of such Securities to such person.
Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, Tyco and their respective directors and officers who
sign the Registration Statement and each person who controls the Company or Tyco
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the
Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and
Tyco to each Underwriter, but only with reference to information relating to
such Underwriter furnished to the Company and Tyco in writing by such
Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration
Statement, the Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any
-12-
<PAGE>
preliminary prospectus.
If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or
regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted
against any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to
either of the two preceding paragraphs, such person (the "INDEMNIFIED
PERSON") shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be
sought (the "INDEMNIFYING PERSON") in writing, and the Indemnifying Person,
upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person
and any others the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and
shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding.
In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain
its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the
Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary, (ii) the
Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person or (iii) the named parties
in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the
Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both
parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between them. It is understood that the Indemnifying
Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in
the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one
separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons,
and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred.
Any such separate firm for the Underwriters and such control persons of
Underwriters shall be designated in writing by the first of the named
Representatives on Schedule I hereto and any such separate firm for the
Company, Tyco and their respective directors and officers who sign the
Registration Statement and such control persons of the Company and Tyco shall
be designated in writing by the Company and Tyco. The Indemnifying Person
shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its
written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final
judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify any
Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such
settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any
time an Indemnified Person shall have requested an Indemnifying Person to
reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as
contemplated by the third sentence of this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person
agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected
without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than
45 days after receipt by such Indemnifying Person of the aforesaid request
and (ii) such Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified
Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement
unless the Indemnifying Person in good faith shall be contesting the
reasonableness of such fees and expenses (but only to the extent so
contested) or the entitlement of the Indemnified Person to indemnification
under the terms of this Section 7. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the
prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any
pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person
is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder
by such Indemnified
-13-
<PAGE>
Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such
Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of
such proceeding.
If the indemnification provided for in the first and second paragraphs
of this Section 7 is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in
respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then
each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such
Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
benefits received by the Company and Tyco on the one hand and the Underwriters
on the other hand from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation
provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred
to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and Tyco on
the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements
or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits
received by the Company and Tyco on the one hand and the Underwriters on the
other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net
proceeds from the offering of such Securities and Guarantees (net of
underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received
by the Company and Tyco and the total underwriting discounts and the commissions
received by the Underwriters bear to the aggregate public offering price of the
Securities and Guarantees. The relative fault of the Company and Tyco on the one
hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by the Company and Tyco or by the Underwriters and the
parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The Company, Tyco and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just
and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro
rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such
purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the
equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The
amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses,
claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth
above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified
Person in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall an
Underwriter be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by
which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed
to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that
such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not
guilty of
-14-
<PAGE>
such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters' obligations to contribute
pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to the respective principal
amount of the Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule II hereto,
and not joint.
The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall
not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any
indemnified party at law or in equity.
The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 7
and the representations and warranties of the Company and Tyco set forth in this
Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i)
any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf
of any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter or by or on behalf
of the Company, Tyco, their respective officers or directors or any other person
controlling the Company or Tyco and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of
the Securities and the Guarantees.
8. Notwithstanding anything herein contained, this Agreement may be
terminated in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice given
to the Company or Tyco, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement
and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended
or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock
Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq National Market, the
Chicago Board Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the
Chicago Board of Trade, (ii) trading of any securities of or guaranteed by
the Company or Tyco shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any
over-the-counter market, (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking
activities in New York shall have been declared by either Federal or New York
State authorities, or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or
escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity
or crisis that, in the judgment of the Representatives, is material and
adverse and which, in the judgment of the Representatives, makes it
impracticable to market the Securities on the terms and in the manner
contemplated in the Prospectus.
9. If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the Underwriters
shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities which it or they have agreed to
purchase under this Agreement, and the aggregate principal amount of
Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but
failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate
principal amount of the Securities, the other Underwriters shall be obligated
severally in the proportions that the principal amount of Securities set
forth opposite their respective names in Schedule II hereto bears to the
aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all
such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as the
Representatives may specify, to purchase the Securities which such defaulting
Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such
date; provided that in no event shall the principal amount of Securities that
any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to Section 1 be increased
pursuant to this Section 9 by an amount in excess of one-tenth of such
principal amount of Securities without the written consent of such
Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter
-15-
<PAGE>
or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities and the aggregate
principal amount of Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more
than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased,
and arrangements satisfactory to you, the Company and Tyco for the purchase of
such Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement
shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter,
the Company or Tyco. In any such case either you or the Company shall have the
right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days,
in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement and in
the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Any
action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter
from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this
Agreement.
10. If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or
any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company or
Tyco to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this
Agreement, or if for any reason the Company or Tyco shall be unable to
perform its obligations under this Agreement or any condition of the
Underwriters' obligations cannot be fulfilled, the Company and Tyco agree to
reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this
Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket
expenses (including the fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably
incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the
offering of the Securities and the Guarantees.
11. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon
the Company, Tyco, the Underwriters and any Indemnified Persons referred to
herein and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing expressed or
mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any
other person, firm or corporation any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein
contained. No purchaser of Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed to
be a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.
12. Any action by the Underwriters hereunder may be taken by you
jointly or by the first of the named Representatives set forth in Schedule I
hereto alone on behalf of the Underwriters, and any such action taken by you
jointly or by the first of the named Representatives set forth in Schedule I
hereto alone shall be binding upon the Underwriters. All notices and other
communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have
been duly given if mailed or transmitted by any standard form of
telecommunication. Notices to the Underwriters shall be given at the address
set forth in Schedule I hereto. Notices to the Company and Tyco shall be
given to them, if the Company, at 6, avenue Emile Reuter, 2nd Floor, L-2420,
Luxembourg, Attention: the Managing Directors; if to Tyco, at The Gibbons
Building, 10 Queens Street, Suite 301, Hamilton HM 11, Bermuda, Attention:
Secretary, with a copy to Tyco International (US), Inc., One Tyco Park,
Exeter, New Hampshire 03833; Attention: General Counsel.
13. Each of the Company and Tyco (i) agrees that any legal suit,
action or proceeding brought by any party to enforce any rights under or with
respect to this Agreement or any other document or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby may be instituted in any state or federal
court in The City of New York, State of New York,
-16-
<PAGE>
U.S.A., (ii) irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any
objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such
suit, action or proceeding, (iii) irrevocably waives to the fullest extent
permitted by law any claim that and agrees not to claim or plead in any court
that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in such court has been brought
in an inconvenient forum and (iv) irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding or for
recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof.
Each of the Company and Tyco hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
designates and appoints CT Corporation System, 1633 Broadway, New York, New York
10019, U.S.A. (and any successor entity) as its authorized agent to receive and
forward on its behalf service of any and all process which may be served in any
such suit, action or proceeding in any such court and agrees that service of
process upon CT Corporation shall be deemed in every respect effective service
of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and shall be taken and
held to be valid personal service upon it. Said designation and appointment
shall be irrevocable. Nothing in this Section 13 shall affect the right of the
Underwriters, their affiliates or any indemnified party to serve process in any
manner permitted by law or limit the right of the Underwriters, their affiliates
or any indemnified party to bring proceedings against the Company or Tyco in the
courts of any jurisdiction or jurisdictions. Each of the Company and Tyco
further agrees to take any and all action, including the execution and filing of
any and all such documents and instruments, as may be necessary to continue such
designation and appointment of CT Corporation in full force and effect so long
as the Securities and the Guarantees are outstanding but in no event for a
period longer than five years from the date of this Agreement. Each of the
Company and Tyco hereby irrevocably and unconditionally authorizes and directs
CT Corporation to accept such service on its behalf. If for any reason CT
Corporation ceases to be available to act as such, each of the Company and Tyco
agrees to designate a new agent in New York City on the terms and for the
purposes of this provision reasonably satisfactory to the Underwriters.
To the extent that either the Company or Tyco has or hereafter may
acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court (including, without
limitation, any court in the United States, the State of New York, Luxembourg,
Bermuda or any political subdivision thereof) or from any legal process (whether
through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of
execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property or
assets, this Agreement, or any other documents or actions to enforce judgments
in respect of any thereof, it hereby irrevocably waives such immunity, and any
defense based on such immunity, in respect of its obligations under the
above-referenced documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, to the
extent permitted by law.
14. If pursuant to a judgment or order being made or registered
against the Company or Tyco, any payment under or in connection with this
Agreement to an Underwriter is made or satisfied in a currency (the "JUDGMENT
CURRENCY") other than in United States dollars then, to the extent that the
payment (when converted into United States dollars at the rate of exchange on
the date of payment or, if it is not practicable for such Underwriter to
purchase United States dollars with the Judgment Currency on the
-17-
<PAGE>
date of payment, at the rate of exchange as soon thereafter as it is practicable
for it to do so) actually received by such Underwriter falls short of the amount
due under the terms of this Agreement, the Company or Tyco shall, to the extent
permitted by law, as a separate and independent obligation, indemnify and hold
harmless such Underwriter against the amount of such short fall and such
indemnity shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such
judgment or order as aforesaid. For the purpose of this Section, "rate of
exchange" means the rate at which the Underwriter is able on the relevant date
to purchase United States dollars with the Judgment Currency and shall take into
account any premium and other costs of exchange.
15. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which
shall be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the
same instrument. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to
the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.

<PAGE>
The Company shall have no obligation to redeem or purchase the Notes
pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous provisions or upon the happening of
any specified event or at the option of any Holder of the Notes.
SECTION 2.7. ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS; CERTAIN TAX PROVISIONS. For purposes of
the Notes, Sections 12.1 and 12.2 of the Indenture are amended in their entirety
to read as follows:
"SECTION 12.1. REDEMPTION UPON CHANGES IN WITHHOLDING TAXES. The Notes may
be redeemed, as a whole but not in part, at the election of the Company, upon
not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice (which notice shall be
irrevocable), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount
thereof, together with accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date and
Additional Amounts (as defined in Section 12.2), if any, if as a result of any
amendment to, or change in, the laws or regulations of Luxembourg or Bermuda or
any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein having power to
tax (a "Taxing Authority"), or any change in the application or official
interpretation of such laws or regulations which amendment or change is
announced and becomes effective after the date the Notes are issued, the Company
or Tyco has become or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts, on the
next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to the Notes, and
such obligation cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable measures available to
the Company or Tyco, as the case may be; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (a) no such
notice of redemption may be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest
date on which the Company or Tyco, as the case may be, would be obligated to pay
such Additional Amounts, and (b) at the time such notice of redemption is given,
such obligation to pay such Additional Amounts remains in effect. Prior to the
giving of any notice of redemption described in this paragraph, the Company
shall deliver to the Trustee (i)(I) a certificate signed by two directors of the
Company stating that the obligation to pay Additional Amounts cannot be avoided
by the Company taking reasonable measures available to it or (II) a certificate
signed by two executive officers of Tyco stating that the obligation to pay
Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by Tyco taking reasonable measures
available to it, as the case may be, and (ii) a written opinion of independent
legal counsel to the Company or Tyco, as the case may be, of recognized standing
to the effect that the Company or Tyco, as the case may be, has or will become
obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a change, amendment, official
interpretation or application described above and that the Company or Tyco, as
the case may be, cannot avoid the payment of such Additional Amounts by taking
reasonable measures available to it.
SECTION 12.2. PAYMENT OF ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS. All payments made by the
Company, Tyco and any other Guarantor under or with respect to the Notes and the
Guarantees will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction
for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts,
assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or
on behalf of any Taxing Authority ("Taxes"), unless the Company, Tyco or such
Guarantor, as the case may be, is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law or
by the interpretation or administration thereof. In the event that the Company,
Tyco or such Guarantor is required to so withhold or deduct any amount for or on
account of any Taxes from any
-5-
<PAGE>
payment made under or with respect to the Notes or the Guarantees, as the case
may be, the Company, Tyco or such Guarantor, as the case may be, will pay such
additional amounts ("Additional Amounts") as may be necessary so that the net
amount received by each Holder of Notes (including Additional Amounts) after
such withholding or deduction will equal the amount that such Holder would have
received if such Taxes had not been required to be withheld or deducted;
PROVIDED that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to a payment
made to a Holder of Notes to the extent:
(a) that any such Taxes would not have been so imposed but for the
existence of any present or former connection between such Holder and the Taxing
Authority imposing such Taxes (other than the mere receipt of such payment,
acquisition, ownership or disposition of such Notes or the exercise or
enforcement of rights under such Notes, the Guarantees or the Indenture);
(b) of any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, or personal property
Tax imposed with respect to such Notes, except as otherwise provided herein;
(c) that any such Taxes would not have been so imposed but for the
presentation of such Notes or Guarantees (where presentation is required) for
payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became
due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for,
whichever is later, except to the extent that the beneficiary or Holder thereof
would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Notes or Guarantees been
presented for payment on any date during such 30-day period; or
(d) that such Holder would not be liable or subject to such withholding or
deduction of Taxes but for the failure to make a valid declaration of
non-residence or other similar claim for exemption, if (x) the making of such
declaration or claim is required or imposed by statute, treaty, regulation,
ruling or administrative practice of the relevant Taxing Authority as a
precondition to an exemption from, or reduction in, the relevant Taxes, and
(y) at least 60 days prior to the first payment date with respect to which the
Company, Tyco or such Guarantor shall apply this clause (d), the Company, Tyco
or such Guarantor shall have notified all Holders of Notes in writing that they
shall be required to provide such declaration or claim.
The Company, Tyco or such Guarantor, as the case may be, will also (i) make
such withholding or deduction of Taxes and (ii) remit the full amount of Taxes
so deducted or withheld to the relevant Taxing Authority in accordance with all
applicable laws. The Company, Tyco or such Guarantor, as the case may be, will
use its reasonable best efforts to obtain certified copies of tax receipts
evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld from each Taxing
Authority imposing such Taxes. The Company, Tyco or such Guarantor, as the case
may be, will, upon request, make available to the Holders of the Notes, within
60 days after the date the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld is due
pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such
payment by the Company, Tyco or such Guarantor or if, notwithstanding the
Company's, Tyco's or such Guarantor's efforts to obtain such receipts, the same
are not obtainable, other evidence of such payments by the Company, Tyco or such
Guarantor.
At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with
respect to the
-6-
<PAGE>
Notes or Guarantees is due and payable, if the Company, Tyco or such Guarantor
will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the
Company, Tyco or such Guarantor will deliver to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts will be payable, the
amounts so payable and will set forth such other information as is necessary to
enable such Trustee to pay such Additional Amounts to Holders of Notes on the
payment date.
In addition, the Company, Tyco or such Guarantor, as the case may be, will
pay any stamp, issue, registration, documentary or other similar taxes and
duties, including interest, penalties and Additional Amounts with respect
thereto, payable in Luxembourg, Bermuda or the United States or any political
subdivision or taxing authority of or in the foregoing in respect of the
creation, issue, offering, enforcement, redemption or retirement of the Notes or
the Guarantees.
The foregoing provisions shall survive any termination of the discharge of
the Indenture and shall apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which any
successor Person to the Company, Tyco or such Guarantor, as the case may be, is
organized or is engaged in business for tax purposes or any political
subdivisions or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, the date on which such Person becomes a successor to the Company, Tyco
or such Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be substituted for the date on
which the series of Notes was issued.
Whenever in the Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees there is mentioned,
in any context, the payment of principal (and premium, if any), redemption
price, interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to any Notes
or Guarantees, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of
Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are,
were or would be payable in respect thereof."
SECTION 2.8. DENOMINATION. The Notes shall be issued in denominations of
$1,000 and integral multiples thereof.
SECTION 2.9. CURRENCY. Principal and interest on the Notes shall be payable
in United States dollars.
SECTION 2.10. NOTES TO BE ISSUED IN GLOBAL FORM; EXCHANGE FOR CERTIFICATED
NOTES. The Notes will be initially represented by one or more Notes in global
from (the "GLOBAL NOTE"). The Company hereby designates The Depository Trust
Company as the initial Depositary for the Global Note. The Global Note will be
deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary. Unless and until it
is exchanged in whole or in part for Notes in certificated form, the Global Note
may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the
Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another
nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a
successor Depositary for the Notes or a
-7-
<PAGE>
nominee of such successor Depositary. The Depositary may surrender the Global
Note in exchange in whole or in part for Notes in certificated form on such
terms as are acceptable to the Company and Depositary.
The Company may at any time in its sole discretion determine that all or
any portion of the Notes shall no longer be represented by a Note or Notes in
global form. In such event the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon
receipt of a written Company order (pursuant to Section 2.5 of the Indenture)
for the authentication and delivery of certificated Notes of like tenor, shall
authenticate and deliver Notes of like tenor in certificated form, in authorized
denominations and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the applicable
principal amount of the Global Note, in exchange for such Global Note (or the
applicable portion thereof).
SECTION 2.11. FORM OF NOTES. The Notes shall be substantially in the form
attached as Exhibit A hereto.
SECTION 2.12. DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE. The provisions of Article
Nine of the Indenture shall apply to the Notes.

SECTION 2.7 ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS; CERTAIN TAX PROVISIONS. For purposes
of the Notes, Sections 12.1 and 12.2 of the Indenture are amended in their
entirety to read as follows:
"SECTION 12.1. REDEMPTION UPON CHANGES IN WITHHOLDING TAXES. The
Notes may be redeemed, as a whole but not in part, at the election of the
Company, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice (which notice
shall be irrevocable), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal
amount thereof, together with accrued interest, if any, to the redemption
date and Additional Amounts (as defined in Section 12.2), if any, if as a
result of any amendment to, or change in, the laws or regulations of
Luxembourg or Bermuda or any political subdivision or taxing authority
thereof or therein having power to tax (a "Taxing Authority"), or any change
in the application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations
which amendment or change is announced and becomes effective after the date
the Notes are issued, the Company or Tyco has become or will become obligated
to pay Additional Amounts, on the next date on which any amount would be
payable with respect to the Notes, and such obligation cannot be avoided by
the use of reasonable measures available to the Company or Tyco, as the case
may be; provided, however, that (a) no such notice of redemption may be given
earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company or Tyco,
as the case may be, would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts, and
(b) at the time such notice of redemption is given, such obligation to pay
such Additional Amounts remains in effect. Prior to the giving of any notice
of redemption described in this paragraph, the Company shall deliver to the
Trustee (i)(I) a certificate signed by two directors of the Company stating
that the obligation to pay Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the
Company taking reasonable measures available to it or (II) a certificate
signed by two executive officers of Tyco stating that the obligation to pay
Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by Tyco taking reasonable measures
available to it, as the case may be, and (ii) a written opinion of
independent legal counsel to the Company or Tyco, as the case may be, of
recognized standing to the effect that the Company or Tyco, as the case may
be, has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a
change, amendment, official interpretation or application described above and
that the Company or Tyco, as the case may be, cannot avoid the payment of
such Additional Amounts by taking reasonable measures available to it.
"SECTION 12.2. PAYMENT OF ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS. All payments made
by the Company, Tyco and any other Guarantor under or with respect to the
Notes and the Guarantees will be made free and clear of and without
withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes,
duties, levies, imposts, assessments or governmental charges of whatever
nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Taxing Authority ("Taxes"),
unless the Company, Tyco or such Guarantor, as the case may be, is required
to withhold or deduct Taxes by law or by the interpretation or administration
thereof. In the event that the Company, Tyco or such Guarantor is required to
so withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of any Taxes from any
-5-
<PAGE>
payment made under or with respect to the Notes or the Guarantees, as the case
may be, the Company, Tyco or such Guarantor, as the case may be, will pay such
additional amounts ("Additional Amounts") as may be necessary so that the net
amount received by each Holder of Notes (including Additional Amounts) after
such withholding or deduction will equal the amount that such Holder would have
received if such Taxes had not been required to be withheld or deducted;
provided that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to a payment
made to a Holder of Notes to the extent:
(a) that any such Taxes would not have been so imposed but for the
existence of any present or former connection between such Holder and the Taxing
Authority imposing such Taxes (other than the mere receipt of such payment,
acquisition, ownership or disposition of such Notes or the exercise or
enforcement of rights under such Notes, the Guarantees or the Indenture);
(b) of any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, or personal
property Tax imposed with respect to such Notes, except as otherwise provided
herein;
(c) that any such Taxes would not have been so imposed but for the
presentation of such Notes or Guarantees (where presentation is required) for
payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became
due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for,
whichever is later, except to the extent that the beneficiary or Holder thereof
would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Notes or Guarantees been
presented for payment on any date during such 30-day period; or
(d) that such Holder would not be liable or subject to such withholding
or deduction of Taxes but for the failure to make a valid declaration of
non-residence or other similar claim for exemption, if (x) the making of such
declaration or claim is required or imposed by statute, treaty, regulation,
ruling or administrative practice of the relevant Taxing Authority as a
precondition to an exemption from, or reduction in, the relevant Taxes, and
(y) at least 60 days prior to the first payment date with respect to which the
Company, Tyco or such Guarantor shall apply this clause (d), the Company, Tyco
or such Guarantor shall have notified all Holders of Notes in writing that they
shall be required to provide such declaration or claim.
The Company, Tyco or such Guarantor, as the case may be, will also (i)
make such withholding or deduction of Taxes and (ii) remit the full amount of
Taxes so deducted or withheld to the relevant Taxing Authority in accordance
with all applicable laws. The Company, Tyco or such Guarantor, as the case may
be, will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain certified copies of tax
receipts evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld from each
Taxing Authority imposing such Taxes. The Company, Tyco or such Guarantor, as
the case may be, will, upon request, make available to the Holders of the Notes,
within 60 days after the date the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld
is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts evidencing
such payment by the Company, Tyco or such Guarantor or if,
-6-
<PAGE>
notwithstanding the Company's, Tyco's or such Guarantor's efforts to obtain such
receipts, the same are not obtainable, other evidence of such payments by the
Company, Tyco or such Guarantor.
At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with
respect to the Notes or Guarantees is due and payable, if the Company, Tyco or
such Guarantor will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such
payment, the Company, Tyco or such Guarantor will deliver to the Trustee an
Officers' Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts will be
payable, the amounts so payable and will set forth such other information as is
necessary to enable such Trustee to pay such Additional Amounts to Holders of
Notes on the payment date.
In addition, the Company, Tyco or such Guarantor, as the case may be,
will pay any stamp, issue, registration, documentary or other similar taxes and
duties, including interest, penalties and Additional Amounts with respect
thereto, payable in Luxembourg, Bermuda or the United States or any political
subdivision or taxing authority of or in the foregoing in respect of the
creation, issue, offering, enforcement, redemption or retirement of the Notes or
the Guarantees.
The foregoing provisions shall survive any termination of the discharge
of the Indenture and shall apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which
any successor Person to the Company, Tyco or such Guarantor, as the case may be,
is organized or is engaged in business for tax purposes or any political
subdivisions or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, the date on which such Person becomes a successor to the Company, Tyco
or such Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be substituted for the date on
which the series of Notes was issued.
Whenever in the Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees there is
mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal (and premium, if any),
redemption price, interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to
any Notes or Guarantees, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the
payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional
Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof."
SECTION 2.8 DENOMINATION. The Notes shall be issued in
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.
SECTION 2.9 CURRENCY. Principal and interest on the Notes shall be
payable in United States dollars.
SECTION 2.10 NOTES TO BE ISSUED IN GLOBAL FORM; EXCHANGE FOR
CERTIFICATED NOTES. The Notes will be initially represented by one or more
Notes in global from (the "Global Note"). The Company hereby designates The
Depository Trust Company as the initial Depositary for the Global Note. The
Global Note will be deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the
-7-
<PAGE>
Depositary. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Notes in
certificated form, the Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole by
the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary
to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or
any such nominee to a successor Depositary for the Notes or a nominee of such
successor Depositary. The Depositary may surrender the Global Note in exchange
in whole or in part for Notes in certificated form on such terms as are
acceptable to the Company and Depositary.
The Company may at any time in its sole discretion determine that all
or any portion of the Notes shall no longer be represented by a Note or Notes in
global form. In such event the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon
receipt of a written Company order (pursuant to Section 2.5 of the Indenture)
for the authentication and delivery of certificated Notes of like tenor, shall
authenticate and deliver Notes of like tenor in certificated form, in authorized
denominations and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the applicable
principal amount of the Global Note, in exchange for such Global Note (or the
applicable portion thereof).
SECTION 2.11 FORM OF NOTES. The Notes shall be substantially in the
form attached as Exhibit A hereto.
SECTION 2.12 DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE. The provisions of
Article Nine of the Indenture shall apply to the Notes.

- ------------------------
(1) On July 2, 1997, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tyco merged with Former Tyco.
On August 27, 1997, Tyco consummated a merger with INBRAND Corporation; on
August 29, 1997, Tyco consummated a merger with Keystone International,
Inc.; and on October 1, 1998, Tyco consummated a merger with US Surgical.
Each of the four merger transactions qualifies for the pooling of interests
method of accounting. As such, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges for
the year ended September 30, 1998, the nine months ended September 30, 1997
and the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 include the effect of
the mergers, except that the calculation presented above for periods prior
to January 1, 1997 does not include INBRAND due to immateriality.
Prior to their respective mergers, ADT, Keystone and US Surgical had calendar
year ends and Former Tyco had a June 30 fiscal year end. The historical
results upon which the ratios are based have been combined using a calendar
year end for ADT, Keystone, US Surgical and Former Tyco for the year ended
December 31, 1996. For 1995 and 1994, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges
reflects the combination of ADT, Keystone and US Surgical with a calendar
year end and Former Tyco with a June 30 fiscal year end.
(2) Interest expense consists of interest on indebtedness and amortization of
debt expense.
(3) One-third of net rental expense is deemed representative of the interest
factor.
(4) Earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $489.6 million in the
nine months ended September 30, 1997.
Earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and the year ended
December 31, 1996 include merger, restructuring and other non-recurring
charges of $947.9 million and $246.1 million, respectively. Earnings also
include a charge for the impairment of long-lived assets of $148.4 million
and $744.7 million, respectively, in the 1997 and 1996 periods. The 1997
period also includes a write-off of purchased in-process research and
development of $361.0 million.
On a pro forma basis, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges excluding
