3







 

permitted
by the Limitations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Participant who is employed by ADT or an ADT business unit, the credits shall be calculated in accordance with the

contribution, the Company shall credit to such Participant's Account an amount equal to the maximum supplemental employer matching contributions (i.e., the additional employer matching contributions
for participants with ten or more Years of Service) which would have been credited to the account of such Participant under the Savings
Plan but for such preclusion. Such credit shall be made as of the last day of each Quarter beginning July 1, 1995. This provision shall cease to apply on and after January 1, 1999. 



        (d)   With
respect to each Participant who has incurred a Disability, the Company shall credit to such Participant's Account an amount equal to the amount that would have been
credited to such Participant's account under the Savings Plan on account of his or her Disability but for his or her status as a "highly compensated employee" within the meaning of
Section 414(q) of the Code. Such credit shall be made as of the Determination Date beginning July 1, 1995. With respect to each such Participant whose Disability began before

as of the last day of each Plan Year commencing with the Plan Year beginning January 1, 1998, the Company shall credit to each eligible Participant's
Account an amount equal to the TSSL Special Pension Supplement which would be credited to the account of the Participant under Supplement M to the Tyco International (US) Inc. Retirement
Savings and Investment Plan I, but disregarding the Limitations, less the TSSL Special Pension Supplement actually credited to the Participant's Account under such Supplement M to the Tyco
International (US) Inc. Retirement Savings and Investment Plan I. A separate bookkeeping account shall be maintained for amounts credited to a Participant's Account, and the credited earnings
and losses thereon, until such time as the Participant is fully vested in the total of all his or her Accounts pursuant to Section 5. This provision shall cease to apply on and after
September 30, 2000. 


        (g)   With
respect to each Participant who was a participant in the Keystone Plan, effective as of April 1, 2000, the Company shall transfer from the Keystone Plan to
such Participant's Account under the Plan an amount equal to the amount credited to the Participant's 'Supplemental Plan 



4







 




Account'
in the Keystone Plan. The transfer of such amount to a Participant's Account pursuant to this paragraph (g) shall be in lieu of maintaining such credits under the Keystone Plan. 


        (h)   With
respect to each Participant who was a participant in the ADT Plans, effective as of September 30, 1999, the Company shall transfer from the ADT Plans to such
Participant's Account under the Plan an amount equal to the amount credited to the Participant's accounts in the ADT Plans. The transfer of such amount to a Participant's Account pursuant to this
paragraph (h) shall be in lieu of maintaining such credits under the ADT Plans. 




        4.    Crediting Earnings and Losses.    In accordance with, and subject to, the rules and procedures that are
established from time to time by the Committee, in its sole discretion, amounts shall be credited or debited to a Participant's Account in accordance with the following rules: 



        (a)   Election of Measurement Funds.    Each Participant, including former Participants with Accounts, shall elect
the manner of deemed investment of all amounts credited to his or her Account among the Measurement Funds (as described in Section 4(c) below). By such election, the Participant may (but is not
required to) add or delete one or more Measurement Funds to be used to determine the additional amounts to be credited to his or her Account balance, or to change the portion of his or her Account
allocated to each previously or newly elected Measurement Fund. Such an election under this Section 4 may be made on a daily basis through the voice response system provided by the Committee's
administrative delegate (or through such other system designated by the Committee) and shall be effective as soon as reasonably possible thereafter. Such an election must be in accordance with any and
all rules and regulations established by the Committee for this purpose. Any election made hereunder shall continue to be effective until properly revoked by the Participant. 


        (b)   Proportionate Allocation.    In making any election described in Section 4(a) above, the Participant
shall specify, in increments of 1%, the percentage of his or her Account to be allocated to a Measurement Fund (as if the Participant were making an investment in that Measurement Fund with that
portion of his or her Account). 


        (c)   Measurement Funds.    The Participant may elect one or more of the Measurement Funds (the "Measurement Funds")
identified in Appendix A, attached hereto and made a part hereof, for the purpose of crediting additional amounts to his or her Account. As necessary, the Committee may, in its sole discretion,
discontinue, substitute or add a Measurement Fund. 


        (d)   Crediting or Debiting Method.    The performance of each elected Measurement Fund (either positive or negative)
will be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, based on the performance of the Measurement Funds themselves. A Participant's Account shall be credited or debited as of the end of each
business day based on the performance of each Measurement Fund elected by the Participant, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. 


        (e)   No Actual Investment.    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan that may be interpreted to the
contrary, the Measurement Funds are to be used for measurement purposes only, and a Participant's election of any such Measurement Fund, the allocation to his or her Account thereto, the calculation
of additional amounts and the crediting or debiting of such amounts to a Participant's Account shall not be considered or construed in any manner as an actual investment of his or her Account in any
such Measurement Fund. 


        (f)    Responsibility for Elections.    Neither the Company nor the Committee shall have any liability as a result of,
or be in any manner responsible for, a Participant's individual deemed investment election or a Participant's failure to make a deemed investment election, the Committee's only duty being to credit
the Participants' Accounts in accordance with the Participants' deemed investment elections. To the extent that no deemed investment election is in effect, the Committee shall credit such
Participant's Account as if such Participant's deemed 



5







 




investment
election were a money market mutual fund or other similar short-term fixed-income fund selected by the Committee. The Committee may impose blackout periods from time to time to
facilitate introduction of new Measurement Funds or to change the administrative delegate. 



        (g)   Change in Method.    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may change the method of crediting earnings
or losses to Accounts under the Plan, by written notice to each Participant, which notice shall specify the new method for crediting earnings or losses to be used and the effective date for such
change. 




        5.    Vesting.    



        (a)   A
Participant shall become fully vested in the full value of the amount credited to his or her Account upon attainment of age 55, death, Disability, completion of at
least five Years of Service or a Change in Control. 


        (b)   A
Participant whose employment with the Company or any Affiliated Entity terminates prior to attainment of age 55 (for any reason other than death or Disability) with
fewer than five Years of Service will forfeit all amounts in his or her Account upon his or her termination of employment. 


        (c)   Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 5 to the contrary, a Participant shall always be fully vested in and have a nonforfeitable right in the full value of the
amount credited to his or her Account under Section 3(f) relating to the TSSL Special Pension Supplement, under Section 3(g) relating to the balances transferred from the Keystone Plan
and under Section 3(h) relating to the balances transferred from the ADT Plans. 




        6.    Timing of Distribution.    Upon initial enrollment in the Plan, a Participant shall irrevocably elect on a form
prescribed by the Company to commence distribution of his or her vested Account balance either (a) upon his or her termination of employment, or (b) in any calendar year that is at least
five years from initial participation in the Plan as may be selected by the Participant, but not later than the year in which the Participant attains age 70 (the "Distribution Year"). If no election
is made, the distribution will commence upon the Participant's termination of employment. 


        7.    Method of Distribution.    



        (a)   Upon
initial enrollment in the Plan, a Participant shall irrevocably elect on a form prescribed by the Company to receive his or her vested Account balance pursuant to
one of the following payment options: 



          (i)  A
single lump sum to be paid as soon as practicable following the quarter in which the Participant terminates his or her employment with the Company or an Affiliated
Entity or as soon as practicable in the beginning of the Distribution Year. 


         (ii)  Annual
installments, in an amount determined in accordance with Section 7(c), over a period not to exceed 15 years, beginning as soon as practicable in
the beginning of the calendar year next following the year in which the Participant terminates his or her employment with the Company or an Affiliated Entity or as soon as practicable in the beginning
of the Distribution Year. 


If
no election is made, the distribution will be made in a lump sum pursuant to (i) above. 




        (b)   All
amounts credited to each Participant's Account which become payable hereunder shall be paid by the Company or an Affiliated Entity in cash. Each such Account shall
be charged with the amount distributed with respect thereto as of the date of payment. 


        (c)   In
the event a benefit is paid in a single lump sum, the value of a Participant's Account shall be determined as of the end of the Quarter following the Participant's
termination of 



6







 




employment,
or the end of the last Quarter immediately preceding the Distribution Year, as the case may be. 


        (d)   In
the event a benefit is paid in installments, each annual installment payment amount shall be determined in the following manner: 



          (i)  the
value of the Participant's Account balance as of the end of the Quarter preceding the payment, divided by 


         (ii)  the
total number of installment payments not yet made. 





        8.    Payments Upon Death.    



        (a)   In
the event of a Participant's death prior to his or her termination of employment with the Company or an Affiliated Entity, the value of the amount credited to the
Participant's Account as determined under Section 7 shall be paid to the Participant's Beneficiary in a single lump sum as soon as practicable after such Participant's death. 


        (b)   In
the event of a Participant's death after his or her termination of employment but before full distribution of the amounts to be paid to him or her pursuant to
Section 7 has been completed, the value of the amounts payable under Section 7 shall be paid to the Participant's Beneficiary in a single lump sum as soon as is practicable after such
Participant's death. 


        (c)   Each
Participant may designate, from time to time, a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any amounts which remain
credited to the Participant's Account at the time of his or her death shall be paid. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, except to the extent otherwise
specifically noted, shall be in a form prescribed by the Company and shall be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with, and acknowledged by, the Company during his or her lifetime. 




        9.    No Funding Required.    



        (a)   Nothing
in this Plan will be construed to create a trust or to obligate the Company or any other person to segregate a fund, purchase an insurance contract, or in any
other way to fund currently the future payment of any benefits hereunder, nor will anything herein be construed to give any Participant or any other person rights to any specific assets of the Company
or of any other person. Except as described in (b) below, any benefits which become payable hereunder shall be paid from the general assets of the Company. 


        (b)   The
Company in its sole discretion may establish a grantor or other trust of which the Company is treated as the owner under the Code, to provide for the payment of
benefits hereunder, subject to the claims of the Company's general creditors in the event of insolvency, and subject to such other terms and conditions as the Company may deem necessary or advisable
to ensure (i) that benefits are not includible, by reason of the establishment or funding of such trust, in the income of trust beneficiaries prior to actual distribution and (ii) that
the existence of such trust does not cause the Plan or any other arrangement to be considered funded for purposes of Title I of ERISA. 




        10.    Plan Administration and Interpretation.    The Company shall have complete control over the administration of
the Plan and complete control and authority to determine, in its sole discretion, the rights and benefits and all claims, demands and actions arising out of the provisions of the Plan of any
Participant, Beneficiary, or other person having or claiming to have any interest under the Plan and the Company's determinations shall be conclusive and binding on all such parties. The Company shall
be deemed to be the Plan Administrator with the responsibility for complying with any reporting and disclosure requirements of ERISA. The rights of the Company hereunder shall be exercised by the
Committee. To the extent that the Committee is unable or unwilling to exercise any right hereunder or 


7







 


make
any determination hereunder, however, the Board of Directors shall exercise such right or make such determination. 


        11.    Claims Procedure.    



        (a)   Any
Participant or Beneficiary of a deceased Participant (such Participant or Beneficiary being referred to below as a "Claimant") may deliver to the Committee a written

the Claimant's requested determination has been made, and that the claim has been allowed in full; or 



         (ii)  that

         (ii)  may
submit written comments or other documents; and/or

Claimant's compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 11 is a mandatory prerequisite to a Claimant's right to commence any legal action with
respect to any claim for benefits under this Plan. 




        12.    Non-Assignable.    Amounts payable under this Plan shall not be subject to alienation, assignment,
garnishment, execution or levy of any kind, and any attempt to cause any such amount to be so subjected shall be null, void and of no effect and shall not be recognized by the Company. 



        13.    Termination and Modification.    The Company may, by action of the Committee, terminate or amend this Plan by
written notice to each Participant participating therein. A termination of the Plan shall have no effect other than to eliminate the right of each Participant to have additional amounts credited to
his or her Account pursuant to Section 3. Except for such "prospective" termination, the Plan may not be amended, modified, waived, discharged or terminated, except by mutual consent of the
Company and the Participant or Participants affected thereby, which consent shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing, signed by the party against which enforcement of such amendment,
modification, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. 



        14.    Parties.    The terms of this Plan shall be binding upon the Company, its successors or assigns and each
Participant participating herein and his or her spouse, Beneficiaries, heirs, executors and administrators. 


        15.    Liability of Company.    Subject to its obligation to pay the amount credited to the Participant's Account at
the time distribution is called for by this Plan, neither the Company nor any person acting in behalf of the Company shall be liable to any Participant or any other person for any act performed or the
