AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO 364-DAY SENIOR BRIDGE LOAN AGREEMENT (Electronics Businesses) (this “Amendment”),
dated as of May 25, 2007, among TYCO INTERNATIONAL GROUP S.A., a Luxembourg company (the “Initial Borrower”), TYCO
INTERNATIONAL LTD., a Bermuda company (the “Initial
Guarantor”), TYCO ELECTRONICS GROUP S.A., a Luxembourg company
(the “E Borrower”), TYCO
ELECTRONICS LTD., a Bermuda company (the “E Guarantor”),
each Person executing this Amendment as a Lender, and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS


(1)           The Initial Borrower, the Initial
Guarantor, the E Borrower, the E Guarantor, the Lenders and the Administrative
Agent are parties to the 364-Day Senior Bridge Loan Agreement, dated as of
April 25, 2007 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to
time through the date of this Amendment, the “Bridge
Loan  Agreement”).


(2)           On May 14, 2007, the Initial Guarantor
entered into a memorandum of understanding (“Memorandum
of Understanding”) to settle certain securities class action
lawsuits (“Securities Class Action Lawsuits”)
involving its stock and the conduct of its former management, stemming from a
consolidated securities class action complaint filed in January 2003 on behalf
of a class of shareholders who purchased or otherwise acquired publicly traded
securities of the Initial Guarantor during the period from December 1999 to
June 2002.  Under the terms of the
Memorandum of Understanding, the Initial Guarantor will establish a $2.975
billion cash settlement fund (the “Settlement Fund”)
for payment of plaintiffs’ claims in the consolidated securities class action
cases.


(3)           The Initial Borrower, the Initial
Guarantor, the E Borrower, the E Guarantor, the Lenders party hereto and the
Administrative Agent desire to amend the Bridge Loan Agreement in certain
respects, including, inter alia, to
increase the Lenders’ commitments and provide for a second tranche of
Borrowings thereunder, the proceeds of which are to be used to fund the
redemption by the Initial Borrower of certain of its Capital Stock from the
Initial Guarantor, the proceeds of which redemption are to be applied to fund
the Settlement Fund.


NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this
Amendment, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

the Bridge Loan Agreement is hereby amended by deleting such section and
replacing it with the following:


“(a)         To request a Borrowing, the Borrower

Allocated Existing Credit Agreement Debt being repaid or redeemed, or with
respect to which a consent fee is being paid, in each case, with the proceeds
of such Borrowing (either by direct disbursement or advance deposit with the
trustee, paying agent or fiscal agent for such Debt), setting forth (x) a
description of each series or tranche of Allocated Existing Indenture Debt
and/or Allocated Existing Credit Agreement Debt then being repaid or redeemed
or irrevocably called for redemption, or with respect to which a consent fee is
then being paid, (y) a reasonably detailed description of the amounts payable
(including premiums, if any, consent fees and other related fees, costs and
expenses, including professional fees) in connection with such series or
tranche of such Allocated Existing Indenture Debt and/or Allocated Existing
Credit Agreement Debt and (z) the Person to which each such payment shall be
made;

account or accounts to which funds are to be disbursed, which in the case of
any Tranche B Loan shall be the Settlement Escrow Account and, in any case,
shall otherwise comply with the requirements of Section 2.05.


If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the
requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. 
If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested
Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an
Interest Period of one month’s duration. 
Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with
this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details
thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Tranche A Loan and/or  Tranche B Loan to be made as part of the
requested Borrowing.”


(c)           Section
2.07 of the Bridge Loan Agreement is hereby amended by deleting such section
and replacing it with the following:


“ Section 2.07      Termination
and Reduction of  Commitments.  (a)        The
unused Tranche A Commitments shall automatically terminate at the end of the
Tranche A Availability Period and the unused 
Tranche B Commitments shall automatically terminate at the end of the
Tranche B Availability Period.


(b)           The Borrower may at
any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Tranche A Commitments
and/or the Tranche B Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction
of Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000
and not less than $10,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or




 3
 









reduce any
Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of Loans in
accordance with Section 2.09, the total Credit Exposures under the
relevant Tranche would exceed the total Commitments under the relevant Tranche.


(c)           The Borrower shall
notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce
Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business
Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying
such election and the effective date thereof, provided that a notice of
termination of Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice
is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case
such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative
Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not
satisfied.  Promptly following receipt of
any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents
thereof.  Any termination or reduction of
Commitments shall be permanent.  Each
reduction of the Commitments under either Tranche shall be made ratably among
the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments under such Tranche.”

Tranche B Note, as applicable, payable to the order of such Lender (or, if
requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns).  Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note
and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to
Section 10.04) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the order of
the payee named therein (or, if such Note is a registered note, to such payee
and its registered assigns).”


(g)           Section
2.09(c) of the Bridge Loan Agreement is hereby amended by adding, immediately
before the last sentence in such Section, the following sentence:  “Any such reduction of unused Commitments

Availability Period, as applicable), accrued interest on the principal amount
repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment
and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to
the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan
shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.”
