TYCO INTERNATIONAL FINANCE S.A.
5.125% Notes due 2045
This security is one of a duly authorized series of debt securities of Tyco International Finance S.A., a Luxembourg public limited liability company (the “Company”), issued or to be issued in one or more series under and pursuant to an Indenture for the Company’s unsubordinated debt securities, dated as of February 25, 2015 (the “Base Indenture”), duly executed and delivered by and among the Company, Tyco International plc (“Parent” or “Tyco International”), Tyco Fire & Security Finance S.C.A. (“Tyco Luxembourg,” and along with Parent, the “Guarantors”) and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 14, 2015 (the “Third Supplemental Indenture”), by and among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The Base Indenture as supplemented and amended by the Third Supplemental Indenture is referred to herein as the “Indenture.” By the terms of the Base Indenture, the debt securities issuable thereunder are issuable in series that may vary as to amount, date of maturity, rate of interest and in other respects as provided in the Base Indenture. This security is one of the series designated on the face hereof (individually, a “Security,” and collectively, the “Securities”), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities of the Trustee, the Company, Parent, Tyco Luxembourg and the holders of the Securities (the “Securityholders”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given them in the Base Indenture or the Third Supplemental Indenture, as applicable.
1. Interest. The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at an annual rate of 5.125%. The Company will pay interest semi-annually on March 14 and September 14 of each year (each such day, an “Interest Payment Date”). If any Interest Payment Date, redemption date or maturity date of this Security is not a Business Day, then payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any) shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue for the period after such date to the date of such payment on the next succeeding Business Day. Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that, if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Security is authenticated between a regular record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; and provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be March 14, 2016. Interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
2. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest), if any, to the persons in whose name such Securities are registered at the close of business on the regular record date referred to on the facing page of this Security for such interest installment. In the event that the Securities or a portion thereof are called for redemption and the Par Redemption Date or Make Whole Redemption Date, as applicable, is subsequent to a regular record date with respect to any Interest Payment Date and prior to such
A-5
Interest Payment Date, interest on such Securities will be paid upon presentation and surrender of such Securities as provided in the Indenture. The principal of and the interest on the Securities shall be payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America that at the time is legal tender for public and private debt at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in accordance with the Indenture.
3. Paying Agent and Security Registrar. Initially, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, the Trustee, will act as paying agent and Security Registrar. The Company may change or appoint any paying agent or the Security Registrar without notice to any Securityholder. Parent, Tyco Luxembourg, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.
4. Indenture. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (“TIA”) as in effect on the date the Indenture is qualified. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Securityholders are referred to the Indenture and TIA for a statement of such terms. The Securities are unsecured general obligations of the Company and constitute the series designated on the face hereof as the “5.125% Notes due 2045”, initially limited to $750,000,000 in aggregate principal amount.
The Company will furnish to any Securityholder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Base Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture. Requests may be made to: Tyco International Finance S.A., 00 Xxxxxx xx xx Xxxxx Xxxxx, X-0000 Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx: The Managing Directors.
5. Optional Redemption. The Securities will be subject to redemption at the option of the Company on any date on or after prior March 14, 2045 (a “Par Redemption Date”), in whole at any time or in part from time to time (in $1,000 increments, provided that any remaining principal amount thereof shall be at least the minimum authorized denomination thereof), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Par Redemption Date. The Securities will be subject to redemption at the option of the Company on any date prior to March 14, 2045 (a “Make Whole Redemption Date”), in whole at any time or in part from time to time (in $1,000 increments, provided that any remaining principal amount thereof shall be at least the minimum authorized denomination thereof), at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed and (ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent and delivered to the Trustee in writing, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon that would be due if the notes matured on March 14, 2045 (the “Par Call Date”) (exclusive of interest accrued to the Make Whole Redemption Date at the Adjusted Redemption) Treasury Rate plus 35 basis points, plus, in either case (i) or (ii), accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the Make Whole Redemption Date. If the giving of the notice of redemption is completed as provided in the Indenture, interest on such Securities or portions of Securities shall cease to accrue on and after the Par Redemption Date or Make Whole Redemption Date, as applicable, unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Redemption Price and accrued interest with respect to any such Security or portion thereof. The Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Securities.
A-6
6. Change of Control Triggering Event. If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its option to redeem this Security, it shall be required to make an offer to the holder of this Security to repurchase, at such holder’s election, all or a part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof; provided that any remaining principal amount thereof shall be at least the minimum authorized denomination thereof), of this Security, in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of this Security repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, or at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event, a notice shall be mailed to each Holder describing in reasonable detail the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase this Security on the date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed.
7. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Securities are in registered form without coupons in the denominations of $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Securities may be presented for exchange or for registration of transfer (duly endorsed or with the form of transfer endorsed thereon duly executed if so required by the Company or the Security Registrar) at the office of the Security Registrar or at the office of any transfer agent designated by the Company for such purpose. No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but a Securityholder may be required to pay any applicable taxes or other governmental charges. If the Securities are to be redeemed, the Company will not be required to: (i) issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any Security during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of mailing of a notice of redemption of less than all of the outstanding Securities of the same series and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing; (ii) register the transfer of or exchange any Security of any series or portions thereof selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any such Security being redeemed in part; nor (iii) register the transfer of or exchange a Security of any series between the applicable record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.
8. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Securityholder may be treated as its owner for all purposes.
9. Repayment to the Guarantors or the Company. Any funds or Governmental Obligations deposited with any paying agent or the Trustee, or then held by Parent, Tyco Luxembourg or the Company, in trust for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities of a particular series that are not applied but remain unclaimed by the holders of such Securities for at least one year after the date upon which the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such Securities shall have respectively become due and payable, shall be repaid to Parent, Tyco Luxembourg or the Company, as applicable, or (if then held by Parent, Tyco Luxembourg or the Company) shall be discharged from such trust.

A-7
10. Amendments, Supplements and Waivers. The Base Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company, Parent, Tyco Luxembourg and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the securities of each series at the time Outstanding affected by such supplemental indenture or indentures to enter into supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding, changing or eliminating any provisions of the Base Indenture or any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner not covered elsewhere in the Base Indenture the rights of the holders of the securities of such series; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each Security then Outstanding and affected thereby, shall: (i) extend a fixed maturity of or any installment of principal of any Securities of any series or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the amount of principal of any original issue discount security that would be due and payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof; (ii) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest of any Security of any series; (iii) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Security; (iv) make any Security payable in Currency other than that stated in the Security; (v) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or after the fixed maturity thereof (or in the case or redemption, on or after the redemption date); or (vi) reduce the percentage of Securities, the holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture or indentures. The Base Indenture also contains provisions permitting the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding securities of each series affected thereby, on behalf of all of the holders of the securities of such series, to waive any past Default under the Base Indenture, and its consequences, except a Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any security of such series or a Default in respect of a covenant or provision of the Base Indenture that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each Outstanding security of such affected series. Any such consent or waiver by the registered Securityholder shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of this Security and of any Security issued in exchange for this Security or in place hereof (whether by registration of transfer or otherwise), irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.
11. Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default with respect to the securities of a series issued pursuant to the Base Indenture occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company, Parent and Tyco Luxembourg (and to the Trustee if notice is given by such holders), may declare the unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, due and payable immediately. Subject to the terms of the Indenture, if an Event of Default under the Indenture shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders, unless such holders have offered the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it. Upon satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding securities of a series issued pursuant to the Base Indenture will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the securities of such series.
12. Trustee, Paying Agent and Security Registrar May Hold Securities. The Trustee, subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, or any paying agent or Security Registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, paying agent or Security Registrar.
