ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Bye-Law 102 of Tyco's Bye-Laws provides, in part, that Tyco shall indemnify
its directors and other officers for all costs, losses and expenses which they
may incur in the performance of their duties as director or officer, provided
that such indemnification is not otherwise prohibited under the Companies Act
1981 (as amended) of Bermuda. Section 98 of the Companies Act 1981 (as amended)
prohibits such indemnification against any liability arising out of fraud or
dishonesty of the director or officer. However, such section permits Tyco to
indemnify a director or officer against any liability incurred by him in
defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in which judgment is given
in his favor or in which he is acquitted or when other similar relief is granted
to him.
Tyco maintains $100 million of insurance to reimburse the directors and
officers of Tyco and its subsidiaries, including the Company and its
subsidiaries, for charges and expenses incurred by them for wrongful acts
claimed against them by reason of their being or having been directors or
officers of Tyco or any of its subsidiaries, including the Company and its
subsidiaries. Such insurance specifically excludes reimbursement of any director
or officer for any charge or expense incurred in connection with various
designated matters, including libel or slander, illegally obtained personal
profits, profits recovered by Tyco pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act
and deliberate dishonesty.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
(a) The undersigned Registrants hereby undertake:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in
this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase
or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the maximum aggregate offering price may be reflected in
the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b), if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
price represent no
II-2
<PAGE>
more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set
forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or
any material change to such information in this registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if
the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed or furnished to the
Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in
the registration statement.
(2) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
BONA FIDE offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange
Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial BONA FIDE offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Registrant, pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
