FLOW CONTROL SUPPLEMENTAL SAVINGS AND

RETIREMENT PLAN

ARTICLE 1

EFFECTIVE DATE AND PURPOSE

1.1 Background. On March 27, 2012 Tyco International Ltd. (“TIL”) entered into a transaction whereby the public shareholders of TIL would be issued stock dividends consisting of the common stock of The ADT Corporation (“ADT”) and Tyco Flow Control International Ltd. (“Flow Control”) as of the September 28, 2012 separation date, as described in the Form 10 filed by ADT with the SEC on April 10, 2012, and the Forms S-1 and S-4 filed by Flow Control with the SEC on May 8, 2012 (the transaction, the “2012 Separation”). TIL, Flow Control, and ADT entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement, a form of which is attached as Exhibit 2.2 to the Form 8-K filed by TIL on March 30, 2012 (the “Separation Agreement”), and TIL and ADT entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement, a form of which was attached to the DEFM14A filed on August 3, 2012 to effect the 2012 Separation. As a result of the 2012 Separation, TIL, Flow Control, and ADT are no longer members of the same controlled group of corporations.

Effective September 28, 2012, Tyco International Management Company, LLC (“TIMCO”) merged the TYCO SERP (as defined below) into the TYCO SSRP (as defined below) and named the resulting plan the Tyco Supplemental Savings and Retirement Plan (the “TYCO Plan”). The purpose of such merger was to combine the TYCO SERP and the TYCO SSRP into one plan document for administrative convenience, and was not intended to change the terms of either plan, or to create new or duplicate benefits. In accordance with the Separation Agreement and immediately after the 2012 Separation, TIMCO spun-off a portion of the TYCO Plan designated by TIL to Tyco Valves & Controls, Inc., which was subsequently renamed Pentair Valves & Controls, Inc. (the “Company”). The spun-off portion of the TYCO Plan represented the assets and liabilities of Participants and Beneficiaries related to the TYCO SSRP and the TYCO SERP under the Plan as set forth on Exhibit A (the “Transferred Amounts”). Effective as of September 28, 2012, the Company adopted this Flow Control Supplemental Savings and Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) to (i) accept the assets and liabilities of participants and beneficiaries of the TYCO Plan spun-off to Flow Control as set forth on Exhibit A and (ii) to provide benefits to Participants as set forth herein.

1.2 TYCO Supplemental Retirement Plan Prior to 2012 Separation. Prior to the 2012 Separation, Tyco International (US) Inc. (predecessor to Tyco International Management Company) established and maintained the Tyco International (US) Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “TYCO SERP”). The TYCO SERP provided certain of the key employees of Tyco International (US) Inc. and the key employees of its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates with benefits intended to make up for amounts that could not be contributed on their behalf as matching contributions under the Tyco International (US) Inc. Retirement Savings and Investment Plan (“TYCO RSIP”) due to certain restrictions applicable under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The TYCO SERP was frozen as of December 31, 2004; benefits accrued under that plan up until December 31, 2004 and no further benefits accrued under the TYCO SERP from and after December 31, 2004. Benefits accrued under the TYCO SERP remain payable in accordance with the terms of the TYCO SERP. Effective January 1, 2009, the name of the SERP was changed to the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and the SERP was amended in order to comply with the provisions of Code Section 409A and regulations thereunder.

 

1


TYCO Deferred Compensation Plan. TME Management Corp. adopted the Tyco Deferred Compensation Plan, effective April 1, 1994, to allow a select group of key management or other highly compensated employees of the Company and its parents, affiliates and subsidiaries to defer the receipt of compensation that would otherwise be payable to them. TME Management Corp. amended and restated the Tyco Deferred Compensation Plan, effective as of January 1, 2005, to (i) rename it the Tyco Supplemental Savings and Retirement Plan (the “TYCO SSRP”), (ii) change certain of the TYCO SSRP’s provisions applicable to future deferred compensation elections, and (iii) provide for additional benefits intended to make up for contributions that could not be made under the Tyco International (US) Inc. Retirement Savings and Investment Plan for the benefit of certain key employees due to certain restrictions applicable under the Code.

Sponsorship of the TYCO SSRP was transferred from TME Management Corp. to Citrine Management Corp., effective as of September 30, 2006. The name of Citrine Management Corp. was subsequently changed to Tyco International Management Company (“TIMCO Corp.”), effective as of February 8, 2007. TIMCO Corp. amended and restated the TYCO SSRP, effective as of January 1, 2008, to conform the TYCO SSRP to the requirements of Code Section 409A and the regulations and rulings promulgated thereunder and to incorporate certain amendments to the TYCO SSRP that were adopted since the TYCO SSRP’s last restatement. TIMCO Corp. again amended and restated the SSRP effective January 1, 2009 (the “2009 SSRP”). Sponsorship of the TYCO SSRP was transferred from TIMCO Corp. to TIMCO in 2010.

1.3 January 1, 2014 Restatement. Effective as of January 1, 2014, the Company is amending and restating the Plan to freeze participation and permit no new deferrals of compensation, reflect the current name of the Company, and make other administrative changes. No new deferrals are permitted on or after January 1, 2014, except for Compensation Deferrals relating to Bonus Compensation earned for the 2013 Fiscal Year, Spillover Deferrals relating to the 2013 Plan Year and Matching Credits or other Company Credits under Article VI that are made with respect to the 2013 Plan Year.

1.4 Terms and Conditions for Transferred Amounts. All Transferred Amounts are subject to the terms of the Plan. Specifically, the Plan shall apply as follows:

(i) 2009 Deferrals. The provisions of this Plan shall apply to (i) any Transferred Amounts related to Base Salary Deferrals, Spillover Deferrals, Matching Credits, Company Credits and Discretionary Credits for Plan Years under the TYCO Plan beginning on or after January 1, 2009, including amounts related to the Plan Year beginning on January 1, 2012 of the TYCO Plan, (ii) Bonus Compensation Deferrals under the TYCO Plan for Fiscal Years beginning on or after September 29, 2008, under the TYCO Plan, and (iii) any earnings credited thereon (collectively the “2009 Deferrals”).

 

2


(ii) 2005 – 2008 Deferrals. The applicable provisions of Tyco Supplemental Savings and Retirement Plan, amended and restated as of January 1, 2005 (attached as Exhibit B) and the applicable Participant elections thereunder shall apply to the Transferred Amounts related to deferrals prior to the 2009 Deferrals and on or after January 1, 2005.

(iii) Pre 2004 Deferrals. Transferred Amounts related to deferrals made prior to January 1, 2005, and earnings thereon, shall continue to be administered in accordance with the terms of the Tyco Deferred Compensation Plan effective April 1, 1994 amended through May 2003 (attached as Exhibit C) and with any elections made thereunder.

(iv) TYCO SERP Transferred Amounts. The applicable provisions, including the payment of benefits, of the TYCO SERP (attached as Exhibit D) which was frozen as of December 31, 2004 shall apply to the Transferred Amounts related to amounts accrued pursuant to the TYCO SERP (subject to any changes made in such terms for benefits not vested as of December 31, 2004 in order to comply with the provisions of Code Section 409A and regulations thereunder).

1.6 Post December 31, 2012 Deferrals. The provisions of this Plan shall apply to (i) Base Salary Deferrals, Spillover Deferrals, Matching Credits, Company Credits, and Discretionary Credits, and such items made for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2012, (ii) Bonus Compensation Deferrals for Fiscal Years beginning on or after the Separation Date, and (iii) any earnings credited to after the Separation Date. However, no additional deferrals shall be permitted beginning with the 2014 Plan Year, except for Compensation Deferrals relating to Bonus Compensation earned for the 2013 Fiscal Year, Spillover Deferrals relating to the 2013 Plan Year and Matching Credits or other Company Credits under Article VI that are made with respect to the 2013 Plan Year.

1.7 Top-Hat Status. The Company intends that the Plan shall at all times be maintained on an unfunded basis for federal income tax purposes under the Code, and administered as a non-qualified, “top hat” plan exempt from the substantive requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).

1.8 Compliance with Code Section 409A. The terms of the Plan are intended to, and shall be interpreted and applied so as to, comply in all respects with the provisions of Code Section 409A and regulations and rulings promulgated thereunder and, if necessary, any provision shall be held null and void to the extent such provision (or part thereof) fails to comply with Section 409A or the regulations promulgated thereunder.

Any lump sum benefit under Section 8.3 shall be payable in an amount equal to the value of the Participant’s Account (or relevant portion thereof) on the date of the payment (or a date as close as practicable to such date), with the Measurement Funds being deemed to have been liquidated on that date to make the payment. The first annual installment payment in a series of installment payments shall be equal to (i) the value of the Participant’s Account (or relevant portion thereof) on the Valuation Date, with the Measurement Funds being deemed to have been liquidated on that date to make the payment, divided by (ii) the number of installment payments elected by the Participant. The remaining installments shall be paid in an amount equal to (x) the value of such Account (or relevant portion thereof) on the Valuation Date, with the Measurement Funds being deemed to have been liquidated on that date to make the payment, divided by (y) the number of remaining unpaid installment payments.

ARTICLE 10

MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Protective Provisions. Each Participant and Beneficiary shall cooperate with the Plan Administrator by furnishing any and all information requested by the Plan Administrator in order to facilitate the payment of benefits hereunder. If a Participant or Beneficiary refuses to cooperate with the Plan Administrator, the Company shall have no further obligation to the Participant or Beneficiary under this Plan, other than payment of the then-current balance of the Participant’s Accounts in accordance with prior elections and subject to Section 10.11.

10.2 Inability to Locate Participant or Beneficiary. In the event that the Plan Administrator is unable to locate a Participant or Beneficiary within two years following the date the Participant was to commence receiving payment, the entire amount allocated to the Participant’s Account shall be forfeited. If, after such forfeiture, the Participant or Beneficiary later claims such benefit, such benefit shall be reinstated without interest or earnings from the date payment was to commence pursuant to Article VIII.

10.3 Designation of Beneficiary. Each Participant may designate in writing a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries (which Beneficiary may be an entity other than a natural person if approved by the Committee in its sole discretion) to receive any payments which may be made

 

19


under this Plan following the Participant’s death. No Beneficiary designation shall become effective until it is in writing and it is filed with the Plan Administrator. A Beneficiary designation under this Plan may be separate from all other retirement-type plans sponsored by the Company. Such designation may be changed or canceled by the Participant at any time without the consent of any such Beneficiary. Any such designation, change or cancellation must be made in a form approved by the Plan Administrator and shall not be effective until received by the Plan Administrator, or its designee. If no Beneficiary has been named, or the designated Beneficiary or Beneficiaries shall have predeceased the Participant, the Beneficiary shall be the Participant’s estate. If a Participant designates more than one Beneficiary, the interests of such Beneficiaries shall be paid in equal shares, unless the Participant has specifically designated otherwise.

10.4 No Contract of Employment. Neither the establishment of this Plan, nor any modification thereof, nor the creation of any fund, trust or account, nor the payment of any benefits shall be construed as giving any Participant or any person whosoever, the right to be retained in the service of the Company, and all Participants and other employees shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if this Plan had never been adopted.

10.5 No Limitation on Company Actions. Nothing contained in this Plan shall be construed to prevent the Company from taking any action which is deemed by it to be appropriate or in its best interest. No Participant, Beneficiary, or other person shall have any claim against the Company as a result of such action.

10.6 Obligations to Company. If a Participant becomes entitled to payment of benefits under this Plan, and if at such time the Participant has any outstanding debt, obligation, or other liability representing an amount owing to the Company, then the Company may offset such amount owed to it against the amount of benefits otherwise distributed; provided, however, that such deductions cannot exceed $5,000 in the aggregate.

10.7 No Liability for Action or Omission. Neither the Company nor any director, officer or employee of the Company shall be responsible or liable in any manner to any Participant, Beneficiary or any person claiming through them for any benefit or action taken or omitted in connection with the granting of benefits, the continuation of benefits, or the interpretation and administration of this Part A of Plan.

10.8 Nonalienation of Benefits. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all amounts payable hereunder shall be paid only to the person or persons designated by this Plan and not to any other person or corporation. No part of a Participant’s Account shall be liable for the debts, contracts, or engagements of any Participant, his or her Beneficiary, or successors in interest, nor shall such accounts of a Participant be subject to execution by levy, attachment, or garnishment or by any other legal or equitable proceeding, nor shall any such person have any right to alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber, or assign any benefits or payments hereunder in any manner whatsoever. If any Participant, Beneficiary or successor in interest is adjudicated bankrupt or purports to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or charge any payment from this Plan, voluntarily or involuntarily, the Plan Administrator, in its discretion, may cancel such payment (or any part thereof) to or for the benefit of such Participant, Beneficiary or successor in interest in such manner as the Plan Administrator shall direct. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all or a portion of a Participant’s

 

20


Account may be awarded to an “alternate payee” (within the meaning of Section 206(d)(3)(K) of ERISA) if and to the extent so provided in a judgment, decree or order that, in the Committee’s sole discretion, would meet the applicable requirements for qualification as a “qualified domestic relations order” (within the meaning of Section 206(d)(3)(B)(i) of ERISA) if this Plan were subject to the provisions of Section 206(d) of ERISA. Such amounts shall be payable to the alternate payee in the form of a lump sum distribution and shall be paid within ninety (90) days following the Plan Administrator’s determination that the order satisfies the requirements to be a “qualified domestic relations order.”

10.9 Liability for Benefit Payments. The obligation to pay or provide for payment of a benefit hereunder to any Participant or his or her Beneficiary shall, at all times, be the sole and exclusive liability and responsibility of the Company that employed the Participant immediately prior to the event giving rise to a payment obligation (the “Responsible Company”). No other Company or parent, affiliated, subsidiary or associated company shall be liable or responsible for such payment, and nothing in this Plan shall be construed as creating or imposing any joint or shared liability for any such payment (other than the Flow Control guarantee set forth in Section 10.10 below). The fact that a Company or a parent, affiliated, subsidiary or associated company other than the Responsible Company actually makes one or more payments to a Participant or his Beneficiary shall not be deemed a waiver of this provision; rather, any such payment shall be deemed to have been made on behalf of and for the account of the Responsible Company.

10.10 Pentair Guarantee. Pentair guarantees the payment by the Responsible Company of any benefits provided for or contemplated under this Plan which either (i) the Responsible Company concedes are due and owing to a Participant or Beneficiary or (ii) finally determined to be due and owing to a Participant or Beneficiary, but which in either case the Responsible Company fails to pay.

10.11 Unfunded Status of Plan. This Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” deferred and supplemental retirement compensation plan for Participants, with all benefits payable hereunder constituting an unfunded contractual payment obligation of the Company. Nothing contained in this Plan, and no action taken pursuant to this Plan, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind. The Company shall reflect on its books the Participants’ interests hereunder, but no Participant or any other person shall under any circumstances acquire any property interest in any specific assets of the Company. Nothing contained in this Plan and no action taken pursuant hereto shall create or be construed to create a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant or other person. A Participant’s right to receive payments under this Plan shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. Except to the extent that the Company determines that a “rabbi” trust may be established in connection with this Plan, all payments shall be made from the general funds of the Company, and no special or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment. The Company’s obligations under this Plan are not assignable or transferable except to (i) any corporation or partnership which acquires all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or (ii) any corporation or partnership into which the Company may be merged or consolidated. The provisions of this Plan shall inure to the benefit of each Participant and the Participant’s Beneficiaries, heirs, executors, administrators or successors in interest.

 

21


10.12 Forfeiture for Cause. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, if a Participant Separates from Service for Cause, or if the Plan Administrator determines that a Participant Separates from Service for any other reason had engaged in conduct prior to his or her separation which would have constituted Cause, then the Plan Administrator may determine in its sole discretion that such Participant’s Account under this Plan shall be forfeited and shall not be payable hereunder.

10.13 Governing Law. This Plan shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota to the extent not superseded by federal law, without reference to the principles of conflict of laws.

10.14 Severability of Provisions. If any provision of this Plan shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions had not been included.

10.15 Headings and Captions. The headings and captions herein are provided for reference and convenience only, shall not be considered part of this Plan, and shall not be employed in the construction of this Plan.

10.16 Gender, Singular and Plural. All pronouns and any variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, or neuter, as the identity of the person or persons may require. As the context may require, the singular may read as the plural and the plural as the singular.

10.17 Notice. Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Plan Administrator under this Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand delivered, or sent by registered or certified mail, to the Plan Administrator, Flow Control Supplemental Savings and Retirement Plan, c/o Pentair, Inc., 5500 Wayzata Boulevard, Suite 800, Minneapolis, MN 55416-1259 , or to such other person or entity as the Plan Administrator may designate from time to time. Such notice shall be deemed given as to the date of delivery, or, if delivery is made by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark on the receipt for registration or certification.

10.18 Amendment and Termination. This Plan may be amended, suspended, or terminated at any time by the Plan Administrator or Pentair, Inc. (in whole or in part) in their sole discretion; provided, however, that no such amendment, suspension or termination shall result in any reduction in the value of a Participant’s Account determined as of the effective date of such amendment. In addition, this Plan, and/or the terms of any election made hereunder, may be amended at any time and in any respect by the Plan Administrator or Pentair, Inc. to the extent recommended by counsel in order to conform to the requirements of Code Section 409A and regulations thereunder or to maintain the tax-qualified status of the RSIP. In the event of any suspension or termination of this Plan (or any portion thereof), payment of Participants’ Accounts shall be made under and in accordance with the terms of this Plan and the applicable elections (except that the Plan Administrator may determine, in its sole discretion, to accelerate payments to all Participants if and to the extent that such acceleration is permitted under Code Section 409A and regulations thereunder).

 

22


10.19 Delay of Payment for Specified Employees. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, in the case of any Participant who is a “specified employee” as of the date of such Participant’s Separation from Service within the meaning of Code Section 409A and the regulations and rulings promulgated thereunder, no distribution under this Plan may be made, or may commence, before the date which is six months after the date of such Participant’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death).

TYCO SUPPLEMENTAL SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLAN

Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2005

ARTICLE I

PURPOSE

1.1 Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. Tyco International (US) Inc. previously established and maintained the Tyco International (US) Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”). The purpose of the SERP was to provide certain of the key employees of Tyco International (US) Inc. and the key employees of its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates with benefits intended to make up for amounts that could not be contributed on their behalf as matching contributions under the Tyco International (US) Inc. Retirement Savings and Investment Plan (“RSIP”) due to certain restrictions applicable under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). In connection with the amendment and restatement of this Plan (as defined below), and in light of the enactment of Code Section 409A, the SERP was frozen as of December 31, 2004; benefits accrued under that plan as of December 31, 2004 will remain payable in accordance with its current terms (subject to any changes made in such terms for benefits not vested as of December 31, 2004 in order to comply with the provisions of Code Section 409A and regulations thereunder), but there will be no further benefit accruals under the SERP from and after December 31, 2004.

1.2 Deferred Compensation Plan. TME Management Corp. adopted the Tyco Deferred Compensation Plan, effective April 1, 1994, to allow a select group of key management or other highly compensated employees of the Company and its parents, affiliates and subsidiaries to defer the receipt of compensation that would otherwise be payable to them. TME Management Corp. hereby amends and restates the Tyco Deferred Compensation Plan, effective as of January 1, 2005, to (i) rename it the Tyco Supplemental Savings and Retirement Plan (“Plan”), (ii) change certain of the Plan’s provisions applicable to future deferred compensation elections, and (iii) provide for additional benefits intended to make up for contributions that cannot be made under the RSIP for the benefit of certain key employees due to certain restrictions applicable under the Code. TME Management Corp. intends that the Plan shall at all times be maintained on an unfunded basis for federal income tax purposes under the Code, and administered as a non-qualified, “top hat” plan exempt from the substantive requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). The provisions of this Plan as herein amended and restated shall apply to Base Salary Deferrals, Commission Compensation Deferrals, Spillover Deferrals, Matching Credits, Company Credits and Discretionary Credits for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2005, to Bonus Compensation Deferrals for Fiscal Years beginning on or after October 1, 2004, and to any earnings credited thereon. Prior deferrals under the Tyco Deferred Compensation Plan and earnings thereon shall continue to be administered in accordance with the terms of the Tyco Deferred Compensation Plan as in effect prior to this amendment and restatement and with any elections made thereunder.

An individual who first becomes an Eligible Employee in any Plan Year may file an initial partial-year Enrollment and Payment Agreement, no later than 30 days after first becoming an Eligible Employee, which shall be applicable to Base Salary payable for the remainder of such Plan Year (but only for pay periods following the filing of such election). An individual who first becomes an Eligible Employee on or after December 1 of any Plan Year but prior to December 31 of such Plan Year may file an initial Enrollment and Payment Agreement, no later than such December 31, which shall be applicable to Base Salary for the next Plan Year, Commission Compensation for the next Plan Year and/or Bonus Compensation earned for the Fiscal Year that ends within the next Plan Year and payable after the close of such Fiscal Year.

5.2 Amount of Deferral Election. Pursuant to each Enrollment and Payment Agreement for a Plan Year a Participant shall irrevocably elect to defer as a whole percentage: (i) up to 50% of his or her Base Salary for the applicable Plan Year (or remainder of the year, as the case may be); (ii) up to 100% of his or her Commission Compensation (net of required withholding) for the applicable Plan Year; and/or (iii) up to 100% of his or her Bonus Compensation (net of required withholding) for the applicable Fiscal Year.

5.3 Deferral Limits. The Plan Administrator may change the minimum or maximum deferral percentages from time to time. Any such limits shall be communicated by the Plan Administrator prior to the due date for the Enrollment and Payment Agreement. Amounts deferred under this Plan will not constitute compensation for any Company-sponsored qualified retirement plan.

5.4 Period of Commitment. A Participant’s Enrollment and Payment Agreement as to a Compensation Deferral shall remain in effect only for the immediately succeeding Plan or Fiscal Year (or the remainder of the current year, as applicable), unless otherwise allowed by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion.

 

Exhibit B – Page 8


5.5 Change of Status. If the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, determines that the Participant no longer qualifies as an Eligible Employee, the Participant’s most recent Compensation Deferral shall terminate with respect to compensation earned after the effective date of such determination, and the employee shall thereafter be prohibited from making Compensation Deferrals unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion.

5.6 Vesting of Compensation Deferrals. Compensation Deferrals, and earnings credited thereon, shall be 100% vested at all times (subject to Section 10.12).

ARTICLE VI

SPILLOVER PARTICIPATION/MATCHING, COMPANY AND DISCRETIONARY

CREDITS

6.1 Spillover Election. Any Eligible Employee may elect to make Spillover Deferrals for a Plan Year. Such election may be made by filing an Enrollment and Payment Agreement with the Plan Administrator on or before the November 30 immediately preceding the first day of such Plan Year unless otherwise permitted by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion (but in such case, in no event later than the December 31 immediately preceding the first day of such Plan Year). Such election shall be deemed an irrevocable commitment by such Participant to defer hereunder a percentage of his or her periodic Compensation equal to the Participant’s RSIP Election for such Plan Year, with such deferrals commencing at the time the Participant’s pre-tax RSIP contributions are suspended for the Plan Year as the result of the imposition of any limitation under Section 402(g) or Section 401 (a)(17) of the Code and continuing for the remainder of the Plan Year; provided, that a Participant who elects to make Spillover Deferrals will be deemed to have made a commitment to maintain his or her RSIP Election in effect for the entire Plan Year (up to the time of such suspension) without change.

6.2 Matching Credits. An Eligible Employee who has elected to make Compensation Deferrals for a Plan Year shall receive Matching Credits, equal to the Participant’s Maximum Matching Percentage multiplied by (i) the dollar amount of the Participant’s Compensation Deferrals under Section 5.1 for such Plan Year on Compensation up to the applicable annual dollar limitation set forth in Section 401(a)(17) of the Code, and (ii) the amount of Compensation for such Plan Year from which Spillover Deferrals (if any) are made under Section 6.1 (disregarding any such Compensation that exceeds the applicable annual dollar limitation set forth in Section 401(a)(17) of the Code). Matching Credits shall be credited to a Participant’s Account at such time or times as may be determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion, but in no event less frequently than annually.

6.3 Company Credits. A Participant who is an Eligible Employee for purposes of this Section 6.3 for any Plan Year shall receive Company Credits for such Plan Year in an amount equal to the Participant’s Maximum Matching Percentage for such Plan Year multiplied by the Participant’s Compensation in excess of the annual dollar limitation set forth in Section

 

Exhibit B – Page 9


401(a)(17) of the Code for such Plan Year. Company Credits shall be credited to a Participant’s Account at such time or times as may be determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion, but in no event less frequently than annually, as of the last day of a Plan Year. A Participant who has elected to make Compensation Deferrals for a Plan Year, and who receives a Company Credit for such Plan Year, shall have the portion of his Account attributable to such Company Credit, if vested, distributed as specified in his Enrollment and Payment Agreement for such Plan Year. A Participant who has not elected to make Compensation Deferrals for a Plan Year, but who receives a Company Credit for such Plan Year (and has not previously received any Company Credit under the Plan), shall file with the Plan Administrator an Enrollment and Payment Agreement as soon as practical (but no later than 30 days) after becoming eligible for such Company Credit, electing the timing and form of payment of the portion of the Participant’s Account attributable to such Company Credit, if vested. Such election shall be deemed to apply also to any Company Credit received in any future Plan Year for which the Participant does not have in effect an Enrollment and Payment Agreement. If such Participant does not file an Enrollment and Payment Agreement by the date specified by the Plan Administrator, he or she shall be deemed to have elected to have the portion of his Account attributable to such Company Credit, and each Company Credit received in a future Plan Year for which the Participant does not have in effect an Enrollment and Payment Agreement, paid (if vested) as an In-Service Payment in a single lump-sum in the fifth Plan Year following the Plan Year for which each such Company Credit was received.

6.4 Discretionary Credits. A Participant who is an Eligible Employee for any Plan Year may receive a Discretionary Credit for such Plan Year. Such credit shall be in such amount as may be determined by the Company in its sole discretion, and shall be credited to the Participant’s Account at such time or times as may be determined by the Company in its sole discretion. A Participant who has elected to make Compensation Deferrals for a Plan Year, and who receives a Discretionary Credit for such Plan Year, shall have the portion of his Account attributable to such Discretionary Credit (if vested) distributed as specified in his Enrollment and Payment Agreement for such Plan Year. A Participant who has not elected to make Compensation Deferrals for a Plan Year, but who receives a Discretionary Credit for such Plan Year (and has not previously received any Discretionary Credit under the Plan), shall file with the Plan Administrator an Enrollment and Payment Agreement as soon as practical (but no later than 30 days) after becoming eligible for such Discretionary Credit, electing the timing and form of payment of the portion of the Participant’s Account attributable to such Discretionary Credit (if vested). Such election shall be deemed to apply also to any Discretionary Credit received in any future Plan Year for which the Participant does not have in effect an Enrollment and Payment Agreement. If such Participant does not file an Enrollment and Payment Agreement by the date specified by the Plan Administrator, he or she shall be deemed to have elected to have the portion of his Account attributable to such Discretionary Credit, and each Discretionary Credit received in a future Plan Year for which the Participant does not have in effect an Enrollment and Payment Agreement, paid (if vested) as an In-Service Payment in a single lump-sum in the fifth Plan Year following the Plan Year for which each such Discretionary Credit was received.

 

Exhibit B – Page 10


6.5 Vesting of Matching, Company and Discretionary Credits. The portion of a Participant’s Account attributable to Matching Credits and Company Credits shall become 100% vested upon the completion of three Years of Service (subject to Section 10.12). The portion of a Participant’s Account attributable to Matching Credits and Company Credits shall also become 100% vested (i) if his or her employment terminates by reason of his or her death, Disability or Retirement, or (ii) upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (subject in each case to Section 10.12). The portion of a Participant’s Account attributable to Discretionary Credits shall become 100% vested upon the date and/or upon the occurrence of the event(s) specified by the Company in its sole discretion (subject to Section 10.12).

ARTICLE VII

PARTICIPANT ACCOUNT

7.1 Establishment of Account. The Plan Administrator shall establish and maintain an Account with respect to each Participant’s annual Compensation Deferrals, Matching Credits, Company Credits, and/or Discretionary Credits, as applicable. Compensation Deferrals pursuant to Section 5.1 and Spillover Deferrals pursuant to Section 6.1 shall be credited by the Plan Administrator to the Participant’s Account as soon as practicable after the date on which such Compensation would otherwise have been paid, in accordance with the Participant’s election. The Participant’s Account shall be reduced by the amount of payments made to the Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary pursuant to this Plan, and any forfeitures.

7.2 Earnings (or Losses) on Account. Participants must designate, on an Enrollment and Payment Agreement or by such other means as may be established by the Plan Administrator, the portion of the credits to their Account that shall be allocated among the various Measurement Funds. In default of such designation, credits to a Participant’s Account shall be allocated to one or more default Measurement Funds as determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion. A Participant’s Account shall be credited with all deemed earnings (or losses) generated by the Measurement Funds, as elected by the Participant, on each business day for the sole purpose of determining the amount of earnings to be credited or debited to such Account as if the designated balance of the Account had been invested in the applicable Measurement Fund. Notwithstanding that the rates of return credited to Participant’s Accounts are based upon the actual performance of the corresponding Measurement Funds, the Company shall not be obligated to invest any amount credited to a Participant’s Account under this Plan in such Measurement Funds or in any other investment funds. Upon notice to the Plan Administrator in the manner it prescribes, a Participant may reallocate the Funds to which his or her Account is deemed to be allocated.

7.3 Valuation of Account. The value of a Participant’s Account as of any date shall equal the amounts theretofore credited to such Account, including any earnings (positive or negative) deemed to be earned on such Account in accordance with Section 7.2, less the amounts theretofore deducted from such Account.

7.4 Statement of Account. The Plan Administrator shall provide or make available to each Participant (including electronically), not less frequently than quarterly, a statement in such form as the Plan Administrator deems desirable setting forth the balance standing to the credit of his or her Account.

 

Exhibit B – Page 11


7.5 Payments from Account. Any payment made to or on behalf of a Participant from his or her Account in an amount which is less than the entire balance of his or her Account shall be made pro rata from each of the Measurement Funds to which such Account is then allocated.

7.6 Separate Accounting. If and to the extent required for the proper administration of the vesting or payments provisions of the Plan, the Plan Administrator may segregate a Participant’s Account into sub-accounts on the books and records of the Plan, all of which sub-accounts shall, together, constitute the Participant’s Account.

ARTICLE VIII

PAYMENTS TO PARTICIPANTS

8.1 Annual Election. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 6.3, 6.4, 8.3 or 8.4, any portion of the Participant’s Account attributable to his or her Compensation Deferrals, vested Matching Credits, vested Company Credits or vested Discretionary Credits for a Plan Year shall be distributed as a payment to be made or to commence following the Participant’s termination of employment (“Termination Payment”) or as a payment to be made or to commence at a specified date, without reference to the Participant’s termination of employment (an “In-Service Payment”). Termination Payments and In-Service Payments shall be made in one of the following methods, as elected by the Participant in the Enrollment and Payment Agreement filed with the Plan Administrator for such Plan Year: (i) one lump sum; or (ii) annual installments payable over up to fifteen years. A Termination Payment shall be made, or shall commence, on or as soon as practicable after March 1st of the year following the year in which the Participant’s Termination Date occurs. An In-Service Payment shall be made, or shall commence, on or as soon as practicable after March 1st of the payment year designated by the Participant in the applicable Enrollment and Payment Agreement, which year shall be no earlier than the fifth Plan Year following the Plan Year for which the initial filing of the Enrollment and Payment Agreement was made with respect to that In-Service Payment (provided, that if the Participant’s employment terminates before the scheduled payment year for one or more In-Service Payments, and the Participant is not re-employed before the last day of the year in which such termination occurs, such payment shall instead be made, or shall commence, on or as soon as practicable after March 1st of the year following the year in which the Participant’s Termination Date occurs).

8.2 Change in Election. Subject to Section 10.20, a Participant may change the payment date and/or the form of an existing In-Service Payment election for a Plan Year by filing a new payment election, in the form specified by the Plan Administrator, at least 12 months prior to the original payment date (in the case of installment payments, the date of the first scheduled installment payment), provided that such new election delays the payment year by at least five years from the original payment year, and provided, further, that such change in election shall not be effective until 12 months from the date it is filed. No change in payment date or form of payment may be made with respect to a Termination Payment once elected. In addition, a Participant’s reemployment following the commencement of installment payments shall not cause any suspension or interruption in such installment payments.

 

Exhibit B – Page 12


8.3 Cash-Out Payments. Notwithstanding any election made under Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, if (i) the total value of the Participant’s Account on the first day of the Plan Year following his or her Termination Date is less than $5000 or (ii) the Participant’s termination is due to voluntary resignation (other than Retirement or Disability), then the Participant’s Account shall be paid to the Participant in one lump sum on or as soon as practicable after March 1st of the year following the year in which the Participant’s Termination Date occurs.

8.4 Death or Disability Benefit. Upon the death or Disability of a Participant, the Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary, as applicable, shall be paid the balance in his or her Account in the form of a lump sum payment, with such payment to be made as soon as practicable after the calendar quarter in which occurs such Participant’s death or Disability. Such payment shall be in an amount equal to the value of the Participant’s Account of the last day of the calendar quarter following the Participant’s death or Disability, with the Measurement Funds being deemed to have been liquidated on that date to make the payment.

8.5 Valuation of Payments. Any lump sum benefit under Sections 8.1, 8.2 or 8.3 shall be payable in an amount equal to the value of the Participant’s Account (or relevant portion thereof) as of the December 31 preceding the relevant payment date, with the Measurement Funds being deemed to have been liquidated on that date to make the payment. The first annual installment payment in a series of installment payments shall be equal to (i) the value of the Participant’s Account (or relevant portion thereof) as of the December 31 preceding the relevant payment date, with the Measurement Funds being deemed to have been liquidated on that date to make the payment, divided by (ii) the number of installment payments elected by the Participant. The remaining installments shall be paid in an amount equal to (iii) the value of such Account (or relevant portion thereof) as of the December 31 preceding the relevant payment date, with the Measurement Funds being deemed to have been liquidated on that date to make the payment, divided by (iv) the number of remaining unpaid installment payments.

8.6 Unforeseeable Emergency. In the event that the Plan Administrator, upon written request of a Participant, determines that the Participant has suffered an “unforeseeable emergency” within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(ii), the Participant shall be paid from that portion of his or her Account resulting from Compensation Deferrals, as soon as practical following such determination, an amount necessary to meet the emergency, after deduction of any and all taxes as may be required pursuant to Section 8.7 (but in no event to exceed the maximum permitted amount determined under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(ii)).

8.7 Withholding Taxes. The Company may make such provisions and take such action as it may deem necessary or appropriate for the withholding of any taxes which the Company is required by any law or regulation of any governmental authority, whether federal, state or local, to withhold in connection with any benefits under the Plan, including, but not limited to, the withholding of appropriate sums from any amount otherwise payable to the Participant (or his or her Beneficiary). Each Participant, however, shall be responsible for the payment of all individual tax liabilities relating to any such benefits.

8.8 Effect of Payment. The full payment of the applicable benefit under this Article VIII shall completely discharge all obligations on the part of the Company to the Participant (and each Beneficiary) with respect to the operation of this Plan, and the Participant’s (and Beneficiary’s) rights under this Plan shall terminate.

 

Exhibit B – Page 13


ARTICLE IX

CLAIMS PROCEDURES

9.1 Claim. A Participant who believes that he or she is being denied a benefit to which he or she is entitled under the Plan may file a written request for such benefit with the Plan Administrator, setting forth his or her claim for benefits.

9.2 Claim Decision. The Plan Administrator shall reply to any claim filed under Section 9.1 within 90 days of receipt, unless it determines to extend such reply period for an additional 90 days for reasonable cause. If the claim is denied in whole or in part, such reply shall include a written explanation, using language calculated to be understood by the Participant, setting forth:

(i) the specific reason or reasons for such denial;

(ii) the specific reference to relevant provisions of this Plan on which such denial is based;

(iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the Participant to perfect his or her claim and an explanation why such material or such information is necessary;

(iv) appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the Participant wishes to submit the claim for review;

(v) the time limits for requesting a review under Section 9.3 and for review under Section 9.4 hereof; and

(vi) the Participant’s right to bring an action for benefits under Section 502 of ERISA.

9.3 Request for Review. Within 60 days after the receipt by the Participant of the written explanation described above, the Participant may request in writing that the Plan Administrator review its determination. The Participant or his or her duly authorized representative may, but need not, review the relevant documents and submit issues and comment in writing for consideration by the Plan Administrator. If the Participant does not request a review of the initial determination within such 60-day period, the Participant shall be barred and estopped from challenging the determination.

9.4 Review of Decision. After considering all materials presented by the Participant, the Plan Administrator will render a written decision, setting forth the specific reasons for the decision and containing specific references to the relevant provisions of this Plan on which the decision is based. The decision on review shall normally be made within 60 days after the Plan Administrator’s receipt of the Participant’s claim or request. If an extension of time is required

 

Exhibit B – Page 14


for a hearing or other special circumstances, the Participant shall be notified and the time limit shall be 120 days. The decision shall be in writing and shall state the reasons and the relevant Plan provisions and the Participant’s right to bring an action for benefits under Section 502 of ERISA. All decisions on review shall be final and shall bind all parties concerned.

9.5 Special Appeals Committee. Notwithstanding the above, any claim, or appeal of a claim denial, under this Plan or any predecessor plan that falls within the scope of the resolution adopted by the Tyco International (US) Inc. Board of Directors on December 8, 2003 creating a committee (the “Special Appeals Committee”) with respect to benefit claims and appeals by certain former executives (“Named Executives”) as contemplated therein shall be handled by the Special Appeals Committee under and in accordance with the procedures adopted by the Special Appeals Committee, which procedures shall be incorporated by reference herein. In connection therewith, the Special Appeals Committee shall have full discretionary power and authority to interpret the Plan or any predecessor plan, to prescribe, amend and rescind any rules, forms and procedures as it deems necessary or appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan or any predecessor plan and to make any other determinations, including factual determinations, and take such other actions as it deems necessary or advisable in carrying out its duties under the Plan or any predecessor plan with respect to the Named Executives. All decisions and determinations by the Special Appeals Committee shall be final and binding on the Company, the Named Executives, their Beneficiaries and any other persons having or claiming an interest hereunder by or through them.

ARTICLE X

MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Protective Provisions. Each Participant and Beneficiary shall cooperate with the Plan Administrator by furnishing any and all information requested by the Plan Administrator in order to facilitate the payment of benefits hereunder. If a Participant or Beneficiary refuses to cooperate with the Plan Administrator, the Company shall have no further obligation to the Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan, other than payment of the then-current balance of the Participant’s Accounts in accordance with prior elections and subject to Section 10.12.

10.2 Inability to Locate Participant or Beneficiary. In the event that the Plan Administrator is unable to locate a Participant or Beneficiary within two years following the date the Participant was to commence receiving payment, the entire amount allocated to the Participant’s Account shall be forfeited. If, after such forfeiture, the Participant or Beneficiary later claims such benefit, such benefit shall be reinstated without interest or earnings from the date payment was to commence pursuant to Article VIII.

10.3 Designation of Beneficiary. Each Participant may designate in writing a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries (which Beneficiary may be an entity other than a natural person if approved by the Committee in its sole discretion) to receive any payments which may be made under the Plan following the Participant’s death. No Beneficiary designation shall become effective until it is in writing and it is filed with the Plan Administrator. A Beneficiary designation under the Plan may be separate from all other retirement-type plans sponsored by the Company. Such designation may be changed or canceled by the Participant at any time without

 

Exhibit B – Page 15


the consent of any such Beneficiary. Any such designation, change or cancellation must be made in a form approved by the Plan Administrator and shall not be effective until received by the Plan Administrator, or its designee. If no Beneficiary has been named, or the designated Beneficiary or Beneficiaries shall have predeceased the Participant, the Beneficiary shall be the Participant’ s estate. If a Participant designates more than one Beneficiary, the interests of such Beneficiaries shall be paid in equal shares, unless the Participant has specifically designated otherwise.

10.4 No Contract of Employment. Neither the establishment of the Plan, nor any modification thereof, nor the creation of any fund, trust or account, nor the payment of any benefits shall be construed as giving any Participant or any person whosoever, the right to be retained in the service of the Company, and all Participants and other employees shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if the Plan had never been adopted.

10.5 No Limitation on Company Actions. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed to prevent the Company from taking any action which is deemed by it to be appropriate or in its best interest. No Participant, Beneficiary, or other person shall have any claim against the Company as a result of such action.

10.6 Obligations to Company. If a Participant becomes entitled to a payment of benefits under the Plan, and if at such time the Participant has outstanding any debt, obligation, or other liability representing an amount owing to the Company, then the Company may offset such amount owed to it against the amount of benefits otherwise distributable. Such determination shall be made by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion.

10.7 No Liability for Action or Omission. Neither the Company nor any director, officer or employee of the Company shall be responsible or liable in any manner to any Participant, Beneficiary or any person claiming through them for any benefit or action taken or omitted in connection with the granting of benefits, the continuation of benefits, or the interpretation and administration of this Plan.

10.8 Nonalienation of Benefits. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all amounts payable hereunder shall be paid only to the person or persons designated by the Plan and not to any other person or corporation. No part of a Participant’s Account shall be liable for the debts, contracts, or engagements of any Participant, his or her Beneficiary, or successors in interest, nor shall such accounts of a Participant be subject to execution by levy, attachment, or garnishment or by any other legal or equitable proceeding, nor shall any such person have any right to alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber, or assign any benefits or payments hereunder in any manner whatsoever. If any Participant, Beneficiary or successor in interest is adjudicated bankrupt or purports to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or charge any payment from the Plan, voluntarily or involuntarily, the Plan Administrator, in its discretion, may cancel such payment (or any part thereof) to or for the benefit of such Participant, Beneficiary or successor in interest in such manner as the Plan Administrator shall direct. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all or a portion of a Participant’s Account may be awarded to an “alternate payee” (within the meaning of Section 206(d)(3)(K) of ERISA) if and to the extent so provided in a judgment, decree or order that, in the Committee’s sole discretion, would meet the applicable requirements for qualification as a “qualified domestic relations order” (within the meaning of Section 206(d)(3)(B)(i) of ERISA) if the Plan were subject to the provisions of Section 206(d) of ERISA.

 

Exhibit B – Page16


10.9 Liability for Benefit Payments. The obligation to pay or provide for payment of a benefit hereunder to any Participant or his or her Beneficiary shall, at all times, be the sole and exclusive liability and responsibility of the Company that employed the Participant immediately prior to the event giving rise to a payment obligation (the “Responsible Company”). No other Company or parent, affiliated, subsidiary or associated company shall be liable or responsible for such payment, and nothing in this Plan shall be construed as creating or imposing any joint or shared liability for any such payment (other than the TIL guarantee set forth in Section 10.10 below). The fact that a Company or a parent, affiliated, subsidiary or associated company other than the Responsible Company actually makes one or more payments to a Participant or his Beneficiary shall not be deemed a waiver of this provision; rather, any such payment shall be deemed to have been made on behalf of and for the account of the Responsible Company.

10.10 TIL Guarantee. TIL guarantees the payment by the Responsible Company of any benefits provided for or contemplated under this Plan which either (i) the Responsible Company concedes are due and owing to a Participant or Beneficiary or (ii) are finally determined to be due and owing to a Participant or Beneficiary, but which in either case the Responsible Company fails to pay.

10.11 Unfunded Status of Plan. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” deferred and supplemental retirement compensation plan for Participants, with all benefits payable hereunder constituting an unfunded contractual payment obligation of the Company. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action taken pursuant to the Plan, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind. The Company shall reflect on its books the Participants’ interests hereunder, but no Participant or any other person shall under any circumstances acquire any property interest in any specific assets of the Company. Nothing contained in this Plan and no action taken pursuant hereto shall create or be construed to create a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant or other person. A Participant’s right to receive payments under the Plan shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. Except to the extent that the Company determines that a “rabbi” trust may be established in connection with the Plan, all payments shall be made from the general funds of the Company, and no special or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment. The Company’s obligations under this Plan are not assignable or transferable except to (i) any corporation or partnership which acquires all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or (ii) any corporation or partnership into which the Company may be merged or consolidated. The provisions of the Plan shall inure to the benefit of each Participant and the Participant’s Beneficiaries, heirs, executors, administrators or successors in interest.

10.12 Forfeiture for Cause. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, if a Participant’s employment is terminated for Cause, or if the Plan Administrator determines that a Participant whose employment terminates for any other reason had engaged in conduct prior to his or her termination which would have constituted Cause, then the Plan Administrator may determine in its sole discretion that such Participant’s Account under the Plan shall be forfeited and shall not be payable hereunder.

 

Exhibit B – Page 17


10.13 Governing Law. This Plan shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York to the extent not superseded by federal law, without reference to the principles of conflict of laws.

10.14 Severability of Provisions. If any provision of this Plan shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions had not been included.

10.15 Headings and Captions. The headings and captions herein are provided for reference and convenience only, shall not be considered part of the Plan, and shall not be employed in the construction of the Plan.

10.16 Gender, Singular and Plural. All pronouns and any variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, or neuter, as the identity of the person or persons may require. As the context may require, the singular may read as the plural and the plural as the singular.

10.17 Notice. Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Plan Administrator under the Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand delivered, or sent by registered or certified mail, to the Plan Administrator, Tyco Supplemental Savings and Retirement Plan, c/o Tyco HR Benefits, Tyco International, One Town Center Road, Boca Raton, FL 33486-1010, or to such other person or entity as the Plan Administrator may designate from time to time. Such notice shall be deemed given as to the date of delivery, or, if delivery is made by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark on the receipt for registration or certification.

10.18 Amendment and Termination. The Plan may be amended, suspended, or terminated at any time by TME Management Corp. or by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion; provided, however, that no such amendment, suspension or termination shall result in any reduction in the value of a Participant’s Account determined as of the effective date of such amendment. In addition, the Plan, and/or the terms of any election made hereunder, may be amended at any time and in any respect by TME Management Corp. or by the Plan Administrator if and to the extent recommended by counsel in order to conform to the requirements of Code Section 409A and regulations thereunder or to maintain the tax-qualified status of the RSIP. In the event of any suspension or termination of the Plan, payment of Participants’ Accounts shall be made under and in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the applicable elections (except that the Plan Administrator may determine, in its sole discretion, to accelerate payments to all Participants if and to the extent that such acceleration is permitted under Code Section 409A and regulations thereunder).

10.19 Delay of Payment for Specified Employees. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, in the case of any Participant who is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a) (2)(B)(i), no distribution under this Plan may be made, or may commence, before the date which is 6 months after the date of such Participant’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) (or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death).

10.20 Special Rule Regarding Election Changes in 2005 and 2006. To the extent permitted under the provisions of Internal Revenue Service Notice 2005-1, A-19(c) and subsequent related guidance, the Company may, in its sole discretion, permit a Participant to modify an existing election with respect to the timing and form of payment of the Participant’s Account hereunder without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 8.2, so long as (i) such modification is made on or before December 31, 2006 (or, in the case of any amount that would have been payable in 2006, December 31, 2005), and (ii) such modified election is consistent with the provisions of Sections 8.1 and 10.19 hereof.

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 Balance in accordance with the following rules:

 

  (a) ELECTION OF MEASUREMENT FUNDS. A Participant, in connection with his or her initial deferral election in accordance with Section 3.3(a) above, shall elect, on the Election Form, one or more Measurement Funds (as described in Section 3.5(c) below) to be used to determine the additional amounts to be credited/debited to his or her Account Balance for the first calendar month or portion thereof in which the Participant commences participation in the Plan and continuing thereafter for each calendar month in which the Participant participates in the Plan, unless changed in accordance with the next sentence. Commencing with the first month that follows the Participant’s commencement of participation in the Plan and continuing thereafter for each subsequent calendar month in which the Participant participates in the Plan, no later than the next to last business day of each month, the Participant may (but is not required to) elect, by submitting an Election Form to the Committee or its designee, 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 Balance allocated to each previously or newly elected Measurement Funds. If an election is made in accordance with the previous sentence, it shall apply as of the first business day of the next calendar month and continue thereafter for each subsequent calendar month in which the Participant participates in the Plan, unless changed in accordance with the previous sentence. The Committee may restrict the transfer into or out of Measurement Funds to a period no less frequently than annually if necessitated by the type of such Measurement Fund.

 

  (b) PROPORTIONATE ALLOCATION. In making any election described in Section 3.5(a) above, the Participant shall specify on the Election Form, in increments of 1%, the percentage of his or her Account Balance to be allocated to a Measurement Fund (as if the Participant were making an investment in that Measurement Funds with that portion of his or her Account Balance).

 

  (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/debiting additional amounts to his or her Account Balance. As necessary, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, discontinue, substitute or add a Measurement Fund, and such substitution will automatically be made, if any changes are made to the corresponding Investment Fund in the Company’s 401(k) Savings Plan. Each such addition/substitution will take effect as of the same time the Fund is changed in the 401(k) Savings Plan. The Committee shall provide Participants timely notice of such change.

 

Exhibit C – Page 8


  (d) CREDITING OR DEBITING METHOD. The performance of each elected Measurement Funds (either positive or negative) will be determined by the Committee, in its reasonable discretion, based on the performance of the Measurement Funds themselves. A Participant’s Account Balance shall be credited or debited on a daily basis based on the performance of each Measurement Funds selected by the Participant as though (i) a Participant’s Account Balance were invested in the Measurement Funds selected by the Participant, in the percentages applicable to such calendar month, as of the close of business on the first business day of such calendar month, at the closing price on such date; (ii) the portion of the Annual Deferral Amount that was actually deferred during any calendar month were invested in the Measurement Funds selected by the Participant, in the percentages applicable to such calendar month, no later than the close of business on the first business day after the day on which such amounts are actually deferred from the Participant’s Base Annual Salary, Commissions or Bonus through reductions in his or her payroll, at the closing price on such date; and (iii) any distribution made to a Participant that decreases such Participant’s Account Balance ceased being invested in the Measurement Funds, in the percentages applicable to such calendar month, no earlier than one business day prior to the distribution, at the closing price on such date. The Participant’s Annual Matching Amount shall be credited to his or her Matching Amount for purposes of this Section 3.5(d) as of the close of business on the first business day after the day in which such amounts are actually credited to the Participant’s Matching Account.

 

  (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 Funds, the allocation to his or her Account Balance thereto, the calculation of additional amounts and the crediting or debiting of such amounts to a Participant’s Account Balance SHALL NOT be considered or construed in any manner as an actual investment of his or her Account Balance in any such Measurement Funds. In the event that the Company or the Trustee (as that term is defined in the Trust), in its own discretion, decides to invest funds in any or all of the Measurement Funds, no Participant shall have any rights in or to such investments themselves. Without limiting the foregoing, a Participant’s Account Balance shall at all times be a bookkeeping entry only and shall not represent any investment made on his or her behalf by the Company or the Trust; the Participant shall at all times remain an unsecured creditor of the Company.

 

Exhibit C – Page 9


  (f) SPECIAL RULES.

 

  (i) ALLOCATION OF MEASUREMENT FUNDS FOR PARTICIPANTS RECEIVING INSTALLMENT PAYMENTS.

Such allocation shall be made in accordance with Section 3.5 (a) and (b).

 

  (ii) PARTICIPANTS AS OF JANUARY 1, 1999. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.5 to the contrary, only a Participant who was a Participant as of January 1, 1999 (a “Grandfathered Participant”) may allocate any portion of his or her Account Balance to the Enhanced Moody’s Rate. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.5(f)(ii), for any calendar year, no amount allocated to the Enhanced Moody’s Rate may be reallocated from the Enhanced Moody’s Rate other than as of January 1 of a calendar year. Likewise, no amount may be allocated to the Enhanced Moody’s Rate other than as of January 1 of a calendar year. The Account Balance of a Grandfathered Participant shall be deemed allocated 100% to the Enhanced Moody’s Rate as of January 1, 1999, except that a Grandfathered Participant will have an opportunity as of April 1, 1999 to reallocate any or all of his or her Account Balance to Measurement Funds other than the Enhanced Moody’s Rate. The amount of a Grandfathered Participant’s Account Balance which is not reallocated from the Enhanced Moody’s Rate Fund as of April 1, 1999 shall remain allocated to the Enhanced Moody’s Rate Fund through December 31, 1999. Any amount of a Grandfathered Participant’s Account Balance which is reallocated from the Enhanced Moody’s Rate Fund on April 1, 1999 shall be credited on March 31, 1999 with one-fourth of the Enhanced Moody’s Rate Fund for 1999.

 

  (iii) ENHANCED MOODYS’ RATE. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.5 to the contrary except the last sentence of Section 3.5(f)(ii) above, that amount of a Participant’s Account Balance which is allocated to the Enhanced Moody’s Rate shall be credited as though such amount were invested in the Moody’s Rate as of the close of business on the January 1 of such calendar year.

 

3.6 FICA TAXES. For each Plan Year in which an Annual Deferral Amount is being withheld or an Annual Matching Amount is being credited, the Participant’s Employer(s) shall ratably withhold from that portion of the Participant’s Base Annual Salary or Commissions, as the case may be, that is not being deferred, the Participant’s share of FICA and other employment taxes attributable to such Annual Deferral Amount or Annual Matching Amount. If necessary, the Committee shall reduce the Annual Deferral Amount in order to comply with this Section 3.6.

 

Exhibit C – Page 10


3.7 ANNUAL MATCHING AMOUNTS. For each Plan Year, the Committee shall determine and credit the Annual Matching Amount, if any, that is to be credited to a Participant’s Account for such Plan Year. The Annual Matching Amount shall be determined in the following manner: First, for purposes of this Section 3.7, only a Participant whose Annual Deferral Amount has been withheld from his total compensation (the sum of Base Salary, Commissions and Bonus) that is not in excess of the Code Section 401(a)(17) limitation (“Eligible Deferral”) shall be entitled to receive an Annual Matching Amount. Second, such Annual Matching Amount shall be five percent (5%) of the Participant’s Eligible Deferral; provided, however, that if the Participant has at least ten (10) years of service with the Employer, the Annual Matching Amount shall be increased as follows:

 

Years of Service

  

Annual Matching Amount

10-19

   6% of Eligible Deferral

20-24

   7% of Eligible Deferral

25-29

   8% of Eligible Deferral

30 or more

   9% of Eligible Deferral

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Participant who is employed by an ADT business unit, the Annual Matching Amount shall be determined using the matching formula of the Employer’s 401(k) plan in which he is eligible to participate.

A Participant who is receiving short or long-term disability benefits from his Employer, or is otherwise determined by the Committee to be suffering from a Disability may be excused from fulfilling that portion of the Annual Deferral Amount commitment that would otherwise have been withheld from a Participant’s Base Annual Salary, Commissions and/or Bonus for the Plan Year during which the Participant suffers a Disability.

The Participant may elect to defer an Annual Deferral Amount f following his or her return to employment and for every Plan Year thereafter while a Participant in the Plan; provided such deferral elections are otherwise allowed and an Election Form is delivered to and accepted by the Committee for each such election in accordance with Section 3.3 above.

16.11 DISTRIBUTION IN THE EVENT OF TAXATION.

 

  (a) GENERAL. If, for any reason, all or any portion of a Participant’s benefit under this Plan becomes taxable to the Participant prior to receipt, a Participant may petition the Committee for a distribution of that portion of his or her benefit that has become taxable. Upon the grant of such a petition, which grant shall not be unreasonably withheld, a Participant’s Employer shall distribute to the Participant immediately available funds in an amount equal to the taxable portion of his or her benefit (which amount shall not exceed a Participant’s unpaid Account Balance under the Plan). If the petition is granted, the tax liability distribution shall be made within 90 days of the date when the Participant’s petition is granted.

The Committee may require proof of minority, incompetency, incapacity or guardianship, as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit. Any payment of a benefit shall be a payment for the account of the Participant and the Participant’s Beneficiary, as the case may be, and shall be a complete discharge of any liability under the Plan for such payment amount.

  (b) With respect to each Participant who is a Kendall employee, effective as of July 1, 1995, the Company shall credit to such Participant’s Account an amount equal to the maximum employer matching contributions which would have been credited to the account of the Participant under the Kendall Plan for the period July 1, 1995 through December 31, 1995 pursuant to the plan formula contained therein (but without regard to the plan provision precluding certain employees from receiving the supplemental match) and utilizing the definition of “Compensation” used in the Kendall Plan and disregarding the Limitations, regardless of the Participant’s actual level of participation in the Kendall Plan, less the sum of the maximum employer matching contributions permitted by the Limitations for the same period and the amount credited to the Participant’s cash balance account in The Kendall Company and Subsidiaries Pension Plan for the period January 1, 1995 through June 30, 1995. Such credit shall be made as of the last day of each Quarter beginning July 1, 1995 and October 1, 1995.

 

  (c) With respect to each Participant who is a Kendall employee and who is precluded by the terms of the Savings Plan from receiving a supplemental employer matching 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.

 

Exhibit D – Page 5


  (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 July 1, 1995, the initial credit shall also include amounts that would have been credited to such Participant’s account under the Savings Plan from the date of his or her Disability through June 30, 1995.

 

  (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company reserves the right to adjust the credits to any Participant’s Account if the Participant’s Compensation for the Plan Year is less than the limit imposed by Section 401(a)(17) of the Code.

 

  (f) Effective 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 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:

 

Exhibit D – Page 6


  (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

 

Exhibit D – Page 7


  the extent that no deemed investment election is in effect, the Committee shall credit such Participant’s Account as if such Participant’s deemed 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.

 

Exhibit D – Page 8


  (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 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.

 

Exhibit D – Page 9


  (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 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 claim for a determination with respect to the amounts distributable to such Claimant from the Plan. If such a claim relates to the contents of a notice received by the Claimant, the claim must be made within 60 days after such notice was received by the Claimant. All other claims must be made within 180 days of the date on which the event that caused the claim to arise occurred. The claim must state with particularity the determination desired by the Claimant.

 

Exhibit D – Page 10


  (b) The Committee shall consider a Claimant’s claim within 90 days, and shall notify the Claimant in writing:

 

  (i) that the Claimant’s requested determination has been made, and that the claim has been allowed in full; or

 

  (ii) that the Committee has reached a conclusion contrary, in whole or in part, to the Claimant’s requested determination, and such notice must set forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant:

 

  (A) the specific reason(s) for the denial of the claim, or any part of it;

 

  (B) specific reference(s) to pertinent provisions of the Plan upon which such denial was based;

 

  (C) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect the claim, and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and

 

  (D) an explanation of the claim review procedure set forth in this Section 11.

 

  (c) Within 60 days after receiving a notice from the Committee that a claim has been denied, in whole or in part, a Claimant (or the Claimant’s duly authorized representative) may file with the Committee a written request for a review of the denial of the claim. Thereafter, but not later than 30 days after the review procedure began, the Claimant (or the Claimant’s duly authorized representative):

 

  (i) may review pertinent documents;

 

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

 

  (iii) may request a hearing, which the Committee, in its sole discretion, may grant.

 

  (d) The Committee shall render its decision on review promptly, and not later than 60 days after the filing of a written request for review of the denial, unless a hearing is held or other special circumstances require additional time, in which case the Committee’s decision must be rendered within 120 days after such date. Such decision must be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, and it must contain:

 

  (i) specific reasons for the decision;

 

Exhibit D – Page 11


  (ii) specific reference(s) to the pertinent Plan provisions upon which the decision was based; and

 

  (iii) such other matters as the Committee deems relevant. 8

 

  (e) A 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 failure to perform any act with respect to the Plan.

16. Notices. Notices, elections or designations by a Participant to the Company hereunder shall be addressed to the Company to the attention of the Treasurer of the Company. Notices by the Company to a Participant shall be addressed to the Participant at his or her most recent home address as reflected in the records of the Company.

17. Withholding. All payments under this Plan shall be net of tax withholding required by applicable Federal and state laws.

18. Unsecured General Creditors. No Participant or his or her legal representative or any Beneficiary designated by him or her shall have any right, other than the right of an unsecured general creditor, against the Company in respect of the Account of such Participant established hereunder.

 

Exhibit D – Page 12


19. Effective Date. This Plan shall be effective as of January 1, 1995, and shall continue in existence thereafter until terminated pursuant to Section 13. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Plan shall be effective as of July 1, 1995 with respect to the Kendall employees, and this Plan shall be effective as of January 1, 1997 with respect to employees eligible to participate in the Tyco International (US) Inc. Retirement Savings and Investment Plan IV.

20. Governing Law. This Plan shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of New Hampshire.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this restated and amended Plan has been duly signed for and on behalf of the Company by a member of its Retirement Committee on the 30th day of December, 2000.
