To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 1.3(3), the Company shall comply with those securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 1.3(3) by virtue of any compliance with such laws or regulations.

(3) Consolidation, Merger and Sales of Assets by Guarantor.

The Guarantor covenants that it will not merge or consolidate with any other Person or sell or convey all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, unless:

ARTICLE II

ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS; CERTAIN TAX PROVISIONS

Section 2.1. Redemption Upon Changes in Withholding Taxes.

The Offered Securities may be redeemed, as a whole but not in part, at the option of the Company, upon not less than 30 nor more than 90 days notice (which notice shall be irrevocable), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date and Additional Amounts (as defined in Section 3.2), if any, if as a result of any amendment to, or change in, the laws or regulations of Switzerland or the United States, as applicable, or any political subdivision thereof or therein having the power to tax (a “Taxing Jurisdiction”), or any change in the application or official interpretation of such laws, including any action taken by a taxing authority or a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction (regardless of whether such action or such holding is with respect to the Company or Guarantor), which amendment or change is announced or becomes effective after the date the Offered Securities are issued, the Guarantor or the Company has become, or there is a material probability that it will become, obligated to pay Additional Amounts on the next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to the Securities of such series, and such obligation cannot be avoided by the use of commercially reasonable measures available to Guarantor or the Company, as the case may be; provided, however, that (a) no such notice of redemption may be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which Guarantor or the Company, as the case may be, would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts, and (b) at the time such notice of redemption is given, such obligation to pay such Additional Amounts remains in effect. Prior to the giving of any notice of redemption described in this paragraph, the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall deliver to the Trustee (i)(A) a certificate signed by two Officers of the Company stating that the obligation to pay Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the Company taking commercially reasonable measures available to it or (B) a certificate signed by two Officers of the Guarantor stating that the obligation to pay

 

Second Supplemental Indenture

17


Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by Guarantor taking commercially reasonable measures available to it, and (ii) a written opinion of independent legal counsel to the Guarantor or the Company, as the case may be, of recognized standing to the effect that the Company has or there is a material probability that it will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a change, amendment, official interpretation or application described above and that the Guarantor or the Company, as the case may be, cannot avoid the payment of such Additional Amounts by taking commercially reasonable measures available to it.

Section 2.02. Payment of Additional Amounts.

All payments made by the Guarantor under or with respect to the Guarantees will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Taxing Jurisdiction (“Taxes”), unless the Guarantor is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof. In the event that Guarantor is required to so withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of any Taxes from any payment made under or with respect to the Guarantees, the Guarantor will pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by each holder of Securities (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction will equal the amount that such Holder would have received if such Taxes had not been required to be withheld or deducted; provided that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to a payment to a holder of the Offered Securities or a holder of a beneficial interests in the Offered Securities where such holder is subject to taxation on such payment by a relevant Taxing Jurisdiction for any reason other than such holder’s mere ownership of the Offered Securities or for or on account of:

(a) any Taxes that are imposed or withheld solely because such holder or a fiduciary, settler, beneficiary, or member of such holder if such holder is an estate, trust, partnership, limited liability company or other fiscally transparent entity, or a person holding a power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary holder:

 

  (i) is or was present or engaged in, or is or was treated as present or engaged in, a trade or business in the Taxing Jurisdiction or has or had a permanent establishment in the Taxing Jurisdiction;

 

  (ii) has or had any present or former connection (other than the mere fact of ownership of such Securities) with the Taxing Jurisdiction imposing such Taxes, including being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being treated as being or having been a resident thereof;

 

  (iii) with respect to any withholding Taxes imposed by the United States, is or was with respect to the United States a personal holding company, a passive foreign investment company, a controlled foreign corporation, a foreign tax exempt organization or corporation that has accumulated earnings to avoid United States federal income tax; or

18


  (iv) owns or owned 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or the Guarantor;

(b) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, excise or personal property Taxes imposed with respect to the Securities, except as otherwise provided herein;

(c) any Taxes imposed solely as a result of the presentation of such Securities (where presentation is required) for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever is later, except to the extent that the beneficiary or holder thereof would have been entitled to the payment of Additional Amounts had the Securities been presented for payment on any date during such 30-day period;

(d) any Taxes imposed solely as a result of the failure of such holder or any other person to comply with applicable certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the Taxing Jurisdiction of such holder, if such compliance is required by statute or regulation of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to relief or exemption from such Taxes;

(e) with respect to withholding Taxes imposed by the United States, any such Taxes imposed by reason of the failure of such holder to fulfill the statement requirements of sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code;

(f) any Taxes that are payable by any method other than withholding or deduction by the Guarantor or the Company or any paying agent from payments in respect of such Securities;

(g) any Taxes required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment in respect of any Securities if such payment can be made without such withholding by at least one other paying agent;

(h) any Taxes required to be deducted or withheld pursuant to the European Council Directive 2003/48/EC of June 3, 2003 on the taxation of savings income in the form of interest payments, or any amendment thereof, or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, that Directive or the Luxembourg Law of December 23, 2005, as amended;

(i) any withholding or deduction for Taxes which would not have been imposed if the relevant Securities had been presented to another paying agent in a Member State of the European Union; or

(j) any combination of Section 3.02(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h) and (i).

Additional Amounts will not be payable to or for the account of any Holder or the holder of a beneficial interest in an Offered Security if such payment would not be subject to such withholding or deduction of Taxes but for the failure of a Holder or the holder of a beneficial interest in an Offered Security to make a valid declaration of non-residence or other similar

 

Second Supplemental Indenture

19


claim for exemption or to provide a certificate declaring its non-residence, if the Company were treated as a domestic corporation under United States federal income tax and if (x) the making of such declaration or claim or the provision of such certificate is required or imposed by statute, treaty, regulation, ruling or administrative practice of the relevant Taxing Authority as a precondition to an exemption from, or reduction in, the relevant Taxes, and (y) at least 90 days prior to the first payment date with respect to which the Guarantor shall apply this paragraph, the Guarantor shall have notified all Holders of Offered Securities in writing that they shall be required to provide such declaration or claim.

Additional Amounts also will not be payable to any Holder or the holder of a beneficial interest in an Offered Security that is a fiduciary, partnership, limited liability company or other fiscally transparent entity, or to such holder that is not the sole Holder or holder of such beneficial interests of such Offered Security, as the case may be. This exception, however, will apply only to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, or a beneficial owner or member of the partnership, limited liability company or other fiscally transparent entity, would not have been entitled to the payment of an Additional Amount had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment.

In addition, no Additional Amounts will be paid on account of any Taxes imposed or withheld pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (or any amended or successor version that is substantively comparable) and any current or future regulations promulgated thereunder or official interpretations thereof.

The Guarantor will also (i) make such withholding or deduction of Taxes and (ii) remit the full amount of Taxes so deducted or withheld to the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in accordance with all applicable laws. The Guarantor will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld from each Taxing Authority imposing such Taxes. The Guarantor will, upon request, make available to the holders of the Offered Securities, within 90 days after the date the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Guarantor or if, notwithstanding Guarantor’s efforts to obtain such receipts, the same are not obtainable, other evidence of such payments by Guarantor.

At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to the Guarantees is due and payable, if the Guarantor will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Guarantor will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts will be payable, the amounts so payable and will set forth such other information as is necessary to enable such Trustee to pay such Additional Amounts to holders of Offered Securities on the payment date.

The provisions of this Article II shall survive any termination of the discharge of this Indenture and shall apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which the Guarantor or any successor Person to the Guarantor is organized or is engaged in business for tax purposes or any political subdivisions or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein; provided, however, the date on which the Guarantor changes its jurisdiction in which it is organized or such Person becomes a successor to the Guarantor shall be substituted for the date on which the Offered Securities was issued.

THE ADT CORPORATION

3.500% Notes due 2022

This security is one of a duly authorized series of debt securities of The ADT Corporation, a Delaware 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 July 5, 2012 (the “Base Indenture”), duly executed and delivered by and among the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of July 5, 2012 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”), by and among the Company, Tyco International Ltd. (the “Guarantor”) and the Trustee. The Base Indenture as supplemented and amended by the Second 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, Guarantor 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 Second Supplemental Indenture, as applicable.

1. Interest. The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at an annual rate of 3.500%. The Company will pay interest semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 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 January 15, 2013. 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 Redemption Date is subsequent to a regular record date with respect to any Interest Payment Date and prior to such 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 Registrar. Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the Trustee, will act as paying agent and Security Registrar. The Company may change or appoint any paying agent or Security Registrar without notice to any Securityholder. The Company or any of its 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.
