(in its capacity as Guarantor, “Tyco”) and Wilmington Trust Company, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Issuer, Tyco, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes.

 

(b)                                 Other debentures, notes, bonds or other evidences of indebtedness (together with the Notes, hereinafter called the “SECURITIES”) may be issued under the Indenture in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions (if any), may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds (if any) and may otherwise vary from the Notes and each other, as in the Indenture provided.

 

(c)                                  All capitalized terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

 

2.                                      AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. (a) The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected (voting as one class), evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each such series; PROVIDED, that no such supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the final maturity of any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon an acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Indenture or the amount thereof provable in bankruptcy pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Indenture, or impair or affect the rights of any Holder to institute suit for the payment thereof, without the consent of the Holder of each Security so affected, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the Holder of each Security affected.

The preceding sentence shall not, however, apply to a default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securities.

This Note is also subject to redemption to the extent provided in Article Twelve of the Indenture.
