AMENDMENT
NO. 1


 


Amendment
No. 1, dated as of April 15, 2005, among TYCO INTERNATIONAL GROUP S.A., a
Luxembourg company (the “Borrower”), TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD., a Bermuda
company (the “Parent”) (and together with the Borrower, the “Principal
Obligors”), each required lender party hereto (collectively, the “Required
Lenders” and individually, a “Required Lender”), and BANK OF
AMERICA, N.A. as Paying Agent (in such
capacity, the “Paying Agent”).


 


WITNESSETH


 


WHEREAS,
the Borrower, the Parent, the Required Lenders, the Paying Agent and certain
other financial institutions have entered into that certain U.S. $1,000,000,000
Five-Year Credit Agreement, dated as of December 16, 2004 (the “Agreement”);


 


WHEREAS,
the Borrower, the Parent, the Paying Agent and the Required Lenders desire to
amend the Agreement in certain respects;


 


NOW
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements,
representations and warranties set forth herein, and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:


 


SECTION
1.  Definitions and References.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meanings attributed thereto in the Agreement.


 


SECTION
2.  Amendment.  Section 1.01 of the Agreement is hereby
amended by deleting the definition of “Affiliate”, and inserting the following
new definition in its place:


 


““Affiliate” means, as to any Person, (i) any other Person that directly,
or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls such first Person or (ii) any Person which is
controlled by or is under common control with such controlling Person, provided,
that (a) neither the Parent nor any Subsidiary shall be deemed to be an
Affiliate of a Principal Obligor, and (b) no Subsidiary shall be deemed to be
an Affiliate of any other Subsidiary.  As
used herein, the term “control” means possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to
direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of a Person,
whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.”


 


SECTION
3.  Representations True; No Event of
Default.   The Principal Obligors
represent and warrant on the Effective Date that:


 


(a)  The representations and warranties contained
in Article V of the Agreement are correct on and as of the date of this
Amendment as though made on and as of the date hereof after giving effect to
this Amendment, except to the extent that any such representation or warranty
specifically refers to an earlier date, in which case it shall be true and
correct as of such earlier date.


 





















 


(b)  No event has occurred and is continuing, or
would result from the execution and delivery of this Amendment, which
constitutes an Event of Default or which, with the giving of notice and/or the
passage of time, would constitute an Event of Default.


 


(c)  This Amendment has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered on behalf of each of the Principal Obligors.


 


(d)  Each of this Amendment and the Agreement, as
amended hereby, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Principal Obligors, enforceable against each of the Principal Obligors in
accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited
by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
fraudulent transfer or similar laws of general application relating to or
affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally or (ii) general
principles of equity.


 


SECTION
4.  Ratification.  Except as amended hereby, the Agreement and
all other documents executed in connection therewith (including without
limitation, the Notes) shall remain in full force and effect.  The Agreement, as amended hereby, and all
rights and powers created thereby or thereunder and under such other documents
are in all respects ratified and confirmed.


 


SECTION
5.  Conditions Precedent.  Pursuant to Section  10.01 of
the Agreement, this Amendment will become effective on and as of the first date
(the “Effective  Date”) on which the Paying Agent has received, in
form and substance satisfactory to the Paying Agent and the Required Lenders, a
counterpart of this Amendment duly executed by the Required Lenders and the
Principal Obligors and acknowledged by the Paying Agent.  Until the occurrence of the Effective Date,
the Agreement, without giving effect to this Amendment, shall continue in full
force and effect in accordance with the provisions thereof and the rights and
obligations of the parties thereto shall not be affected hereby, all
Commitments and Loans thereunder shall continue as set forth therein and all
interest accruing and other amounts payable under the Agreement shall continue
to accrue and be payable as provided for therein.


 


SECTION
6.  Miscellaneous.


 


(a)  The Agreement and this Amendment shall be
read, taken and construed as one and the same instrument from and after the
Effective Date.


 


(b)  This Amendment shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.


 


(c)  Any references in the Agreement to “this
Agreement”, “hereunder”, “herein” or words of like import, and each reference
in any other document executed in connection with the Agreement (including
without limitation, the Notes), to “the Agreement”, “thereunder”, “therein” or
words of like import, shall, from and after the Effective Date, mean and be a
reference to the Agreement as amended hereby.


 


(d)  The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Paying
Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this
Amendment including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of
Chadbourne & Parke LLP, counsel for the Paying Agent.


 


2





















 


(e)  This Amendment may be executed in any number
of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each
of which when so executed shall be deemed an original and all of which taken
together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
