Specialist International North America Fund ("Plaintiffs") and Defendant L. Dennis Kozlowski 

("Kozlowski") (each of them a "Settling Party" and collectively, the "Settling Parties"), having 

represented to the Court that they have entered into a settlement agreement that resolves all 

issues between and among them in the Complaint, and for good cause shown, the Court 

ORDERS: 

1. Pursuant to Section 21 D(f)(7)( A) of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act 

of 1995, 15 U.S.C. § 78u-4(f)(7)(A): (a) defendant Mark H. Swartz (the "Non-Settling 

Defendant"), and Tyco International Ltd., Covidien Ltd., Tyco Electronics Ltd., and Frank E. 

Walsh, Jr. (the "Previously-Settled Defendants," together with the Non-Settling Defendant the 

"Non-Released Parties"), and each of them, are hereby permanently barred, enjoined, and 

restrained from commencing, prosecuting, or asserting any claim for or otherwise seeking 

contribution against any Settling Party based upon, relating to, or arising out of the subject 

matter, allegations, transactions, facts, matters, occurrences, representations or omissions 

alleged, involved, set forth or referred to in the Complaint in this suit; and (b) except as provided 

in paragraph 5 of the accompanying Settlement Agreement and Release, each Settling Party is

action against any other person based upon, relating to, or arising out of the subject matter, 

allegations, transactions, facts, matters, occurrences, representations or omissions alleged, 

involved, set forth or referred to in the Complaint in the suit. 

2. Because there is no just reason for the delaying the entry of a final judgment with 

respect to the claims asserted by Plaintiffs against Kozlowski, all claims asserted by Plaintiffs 

against Kozlowski in the Complaint are DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE pursuant to Federal 

Rule of Civil Procedure 54(b). This action is not dismissed with respect to any claims against 

the Non-Settling Defendant. 

3. The Clerk is directed to enter this Agreed Order and Final Judgment of Dismissal 

against Defendant L. Dennis Kozlowski and Bar Order as a final judgment and send a copy of 

same to all counsel of record.
