STOCK OPTION AWARD made in Princeton, New Jersey, as of , (the “Grant Date”) pursuant to the Tyco International Ltd. 2012 Stock and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Capitalized terms that are not defined herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan.
1. Grant of Stock Option. Tyco International Ltd. (the “Company”)
has granted you an option to purchase Shares of Common Stock of the Company, as described in the grant notification letter issued to you (“Grant Letter”), subject to the provisions of these Terms and Conditions. This Stock Option is a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
2. Exercise Price. The purchase price of the Shares covered by the Stock Option is set forth in your Grant Letter.
3. Vesting. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Stock Option will become exercisable in installments of one fourth (1/4) of the Shares specified in your Grant Letter per year over four years. Your vested right will be calculated on the anniversary of the Grant Date. No
credit will be given for periods following Termination of Employment, except as set forth herein.
4. Term of Stock Option. Unless the Stock Option has been terminated or cancelled on an earlier date, the Stock Option must be exercised prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the day prior to the 10th anniversary of the Grant Date. If the NYSE is not open for business on the expiration date specified, the Stock Option will expire at the close of the NYSE’s previous business day.
5. Payment of Exercise Price. You may pay the Exercise Price by cash, certified check, bank draft, wire transfer or postal or express money order. Alternatively, payment
may be made by one or more of the following methods: (i) delivering to UBS Financial Services, or such other stock option administrator as selected by the Company, a properly executed exercise notice, together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly (within the typical settlement cycle for the sale of equity securities on the relevant trading market, or otherwise in accordance with Regulation T issued by the Federal Reserve Board) to the Company or its agents the amount of the sale proceeds adequate to satisfy the portion of the Exercise Price being so paid; (ii) tendering to the Company (by physical delivery or attestation) certificates of Common Stock that you have held for six months or longer
(unless the Committee, in its sole discretion, waives this 6-month period) that have an aggregate Fair Market Value as of the day prior to the date of exercise equal to the portion of the Exercise Price being so paid; or (iii) if such form of payment is expressly authorized by the Board or the Committee instructing the Company to withhold Shares that would otherwise be issued were the Exercise Price to be paid in cash that have an aggregate Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise equal to the portion of the Exercise Price being so paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may not tender any form of payment that the Company determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, could violate any law or regulation. You are not required to
purchase
all Shares subject to the Stock Option at one time, but you must pay the full Exercise Price for all Shares that you elect to purchase before they will be delivered.
6. Exercise of Stock Option. Subject to these Terms and Conditions, the Stock Option may be exercised by contacting (i) UBS Financial Services Inc. at 877-STK-TYCO (1-877-785-8926) if calling from within the U.S. or 001-201-272-7611 if calling from outside the U.S., or (ii) such other stock option administrator as is selected by the Company. Your Stock Option may be exercised after your death only by your estate or by the
person given the authority to exercise the Stock Option by your will or by operation of law. If the Stock Option is exercised after your death, the Company will deliver Shares only after the Company has determined that the person exercising the Stock Option is the duly appointed executor or administrator of your estate or the person to whom the Stock Option has been transferred by your will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution.
7. Retirement, Termination of Employment, Disability or Death. The Stock Option will vest and remain exercisable as set forth below in the case of Termination of Employment, Retirement, Disability or death:
Event
Vesting
Exercise
Voluntary
Termination of Employment (other than Retirement)
Unvested Awards are forfeited as of your Termination of Employment.
Vested Awards expire on the earlier of (i) original expiration date, or (ii) 90 days after Termination of Employment.
Involuntary Termination of Employment not for Cause
Unvested Awards are forfeited as of your Termination of Employment, except as otherwise provided in Sections 8, 9 or 10.
Vested Awards expire on the earlier of (i) original expiration date, or (ii) 90 days after Termination of Employment, except as otherwise provided in Sections 8, 9 or 10.

Unvested Awards that have been granted within twelve months are forfeited if your Retirement occurs less than twelve months after the Grant Date. On or after the 1st anniversary of the Grant Date, unvested Awards accelerate
and vest pro rata based on the number of full months of service completed commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the date of your Termination of Employment divided by the number of full months required to achieve complete vesting (with an offset for Stock Options previously vested). The remaining unvested portion of your Award will immediately be forfeited and your rights with respect to such Stock Options will end.
Vested Awards expire on the earlier of (i) original expiration date, or (ii) three years after Termination of Employment.
Disability or death
Unvested Awards become fully vested as of your Termination of Employment.
Vested Awards expire on the earlier of (i) original expiration date, or (ii) three

For the avoidance of doubt, the date of cessation of your employment relationship with the Company or a Subsidiary shall exclude any notice or severance period that you may be entitled to receive.
8. Change in Control. In the event of (i) a Change in Control of Tyco International Ltd., and your
Change in Control Termination, or (ii) your Termination of Employment by reason of a “Good Reason Resignation” which qualifies you for severance benefits under the Tyco International Ltd. Change in Control Severance Plan for Certain U. S. Officers and Executives (the “CIC Severance Plan”) within two years following a Change in Control, your Stock Option will immediately become fully vested. Your Stock Option will expire on the earlier of (i) the original expiration date and (ii) three years from the effective date of your Change in Control Termination or your Termination of Employment by reason of a Good Reason Resignation, as described in the preceding sentence.
9. Termination
of Employment as a Result of Divestiture or Outsourcing. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in Sections 7 or 8, if your involuntary Termination of Employment other than for Cause is as a result of a Disposition of Assets, Disposition of a Subsidiary or Outsourcing Agreement (each as defined below), your Stock Option will vest on a pro-rata basis based on the number of full months of service completed commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the date of your Termination of Employment divided by the number of full months required to achieve complete vesting (with an offset for Stock Options previously vested). The vested portion of your Stock Option will expire on the earlier of (i) the original expiration date and (ii) three years after the date of your Termination of Employment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall not be eligible for such pro-rata vesting and extended expiration date
if (i) your Termination of Employment occurs on or prior to the closing date of such Disposition of Assets or Disposition of a Subsidiary, as applicable, or on such later date as is specifically provided in the applicable transaction agreement or related agreements, or on the effective date of such Outsourcing Agreement applicable to you (the “Applicable Employment Date”), and (ii) you are offered Comparable Employment (as defined below) with the buyer, successor company or outsourcing agent, as applicable, but do not commence such employment on the Applicable Employment Date.
For purposes of this Section 9, “Comparable Employment” shall mean employment (i) with base compensation and benefits (not including perquisites, allowances or long term incentive compensation) that, taken as whole, is not materially reduced from that which is in effect immediately prior to your Termination of Employment and (ii) that is
at a geographic location no more than 50 miles from your principal place of employment in effect immediately prior to your Termination of Employment; “Disposition of Assets” shall mean the disposition by the Company or a Subsidiary by which you are employed of all or a portion of the assets used by the Company or Subsidiary in a trade or business to an unrelated corporation or entity; “Disposition of a Subsidiary” shall mean the disposition by the Company or a Subsidiary of its interest in a subsidiary or controlled entity to an unrelated individual or entity (which, for the avoidance of doubt, excludes a spin-off or split-off or similar transaction), provided that such subsidiary or entity ceases to be
controlled by the Company as a result of such disposition; and “Outsourcing Agreement” shall mean a written agreement between the Company or a Subsidiary and an unrelated third party (“Outsourcing Agent”) pursuant to which (i) the Company transfers the performance of services previously performed by employees of the Company or Subsidiary to the Outsourcing Agent, and (ii) the Outsourcing Agent is obligated to offer employment to any employee whose employment is being terminated as a result of or in connection with said Outsourcing Agreement.
10. Termination
of Employment with Severance Benefits Executives.
If (i) your Termination of Employment occurs twelve months or later after the Grant Date, (ii) upon your Termination of Employment you are a Section 16 Officer or employed in a job classification Band 1 or Band 2, and (iii) you are involuntarily terminated for reasons other than Cause, a portion of your Award equivalent to the number of Stock Options that would have vested in the twelve month period following the date of your Termination of Employment had you not been terminated will accelerate and immediately vest. The vested portion of your Award will expire on the earlier of (i) the original expiration date of the Award, (ii) one year after the date of your Termination of Employment and (iii) such later date as may be applicable under Section 7.
11. Withholdings; Tax Recovery.
The Company will have the right, prior to the issuance or delivery of any Shares in connection with the exercise of the Stock Option, to withhold or demand from you payment of the amount necessary to satisfy applicable tax requirements, as determined by the Company. The methods described in Section 5 may also be used to pay your withholding tax obligation.
By not declining the Award, you hereby acknowledge that the Company or Subsidiary or employing company shall require
you to pay the Company or Subsidiary or employing company the amount of any federal, state, local, foreign or other tax or other amount required by any governmental authority to be withheld and paid over by the Company or Subsidiary or employing company to such authority for your account, and you agree, as a condition of the grant of the Award and delivery of any Shares, to satisfy such obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may in its discretion establish procedures to permit you to satisfy such obligation in whole or in part, and any local, state, federal, foreign or other income tax obligations relating to the Award, by electing (the “election”) to have the Company withhold shares of Common
Stock from the Shares to which you otherwise become entitled. The number of Shares to be withheld shall have a Fair Market Value as of the date that the amount of tax to be withheld, taking into account any exchange rate issues, is determined as nearly equal as possible to (but not exceeding) the amount of such obligations being satisfied. Each election must be made in writing in accordance with election procedures established by the Committee
By not declining the Award, you acknowledge that the Company has made no warranties or representations to you with respect to the tax consequences (including but not limited to income tax consequences) with respect to the Award contemplated by these Terms and Conditions, and you are in no manner relying on the
Company or its representatives for an assessment of such tax consequences. You hereby acknowledge that there may be adverse tax consequences upon the grant or vesting or exercise of the Award and/or the acquisition or disposition of the Shares subject to the Award and you have been advised that you should consult with your own attorney, accountant and/or tax advisor regarding the decision to enter into this Award and these Terms and Conditions and the consequences thereof. You also acknowledge that the Company has no responsibility to take or refrain from taking any actions in order to achieve a certain tax result for you.
12. Transfer of Stock Option. You may not transfer the Stock Option or any interest therein except
by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may transfer the Stock Option to members of your immediate family or to one or more trusts for the benefit of family members or to one or more partnerships in which the family members are the only partners, provided that (i) you do not receive any consideration for the transfer, (ii) you furnish the Committee or its designee with detailed written notice of the transfer at least three (3) business days in advance, and (iii) the Committee or its designee consents in writing. For this purpose, “family member” means your spouse, children, grandchildren, parents, grandparents, siblings, nieces, nephews and grandnieces and grandnephews, including adopted, in-laws and step family members. Any Stock Option transferred pursuant to this provision will continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions that were applicable to the Stock Option immediately prior to transfer. The Stock
Option may be exercised by the transferee only to the same extent that you could have exercised the Stock Option had no transfer occurred.
13. Covenant; Forfeiture of Award; Agreement to Reimburse Company.
(a) If your Termination of Employment is for Cause, including without limitation a termination as a result of your violation of the Company’s Code of Ethical Conduct, any outstanding vested or unvested Stock Options shall be immediately rescinded and you will forfeit any rights you have with respect to those Stock Options. Furthermore, by not declining this Award you agree and promise immediately to deliver to the Company
Shares (or, in the discretion of the Committee, cash) equal in value to the amount of any profit you realized upon an exercise of the Stock Option during the period beginning six months prior to your Termination of Employment for Cause and ending on the six-month anniversary
of your Termination of Employment for Cause, including, without limitation, a termination for Cause resulting from your violation of the Company’s Code of Ethical Conduct.
(b) If the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that at any time after the Grant Date and prior to
the second anniversary of your Termination of Employment you (i) disclosed business confidential or proprietary information related to any business of the Company or Subsidiary or (ii) have entered into an employment or consultation arrangement (including any arrangement for employment or service as an agent, partner, stockholder, consultant, officer or director) with any entity or person engaged in a business, which arrangement would likely (in the sole judgment of the Committee) result in the disclosure of business confidential or proprietary information related to any business of the Company or a Subsidiary to a business that is competitive with any Company or Subsidiary business as to which you have had access to business strategic or confidential information, and the Committee has not approved the
arrangement in writing, then any Stock Option that you have not exercised (whether vested or unvested) will immediately be rescinded, and you will forfeit any rights you have with respect to these Stock Options as of the date of the Committee’s determination.
14. Adjustments. In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities or other property), extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, reorganization, combination, repurchase or exchange of Shares or other securities, the issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities, or other similar corporate transaction or event, the Committee shall adjust the number and kind of Shares covered by the Stock Option, the Exercise Price and other relevant provisions
to the extent necessary to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be provided by the Stock Option. Any such determinations and adjustments made by the Committee will be binding on all persons.
15. Restrictions on Exercise. Exercise of the Stock Option is subject to the conditions that, to the extent required at the time of exercise, (a) the Shares covered by the Stock Option will be duly listed, upon official notice of issuance, on the NYSE, and (b) a Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to the Shares will be effective or an exemption from registration will apply. The Company will not be required to deliver any Common Stock until all applicable federal and state laws and regulations have been
complied with and all legal matters in connection with the issuance and delivery of the Shares have been approved by the appropriate counsel of the Company.
16. Disposition of Securities. By not declining the Award, you acknowledge that you have read and understand the Company’s Insider Trading Policy, and are aware of and understand your obligations under applicable securities laws with respect to trading in the Company’s securities, and you agree not to exercise your Stock Option at any time when doing so would result in a violation of securities law. You also acknowledge that the
Company will have the right to recover, or receive reimbursement for, any compensation or profit realized on the exercise of the Stock Option or by the disposition of Shares received upon exercise of the Stock Option to the extent that the Company has a right of recovery or reimbursement under applicable securities laws or under its pay recoupment policy.
17. Plan Terms Govern. The exercise of the Stock Option, the disposition of any Shares received upon exercise of the Stock Option, and the treatment of any gain on the disposition of these Shares are subject to the terms of the Plan and any rules that the Committee may prescribe. The Plan document, as may be amended from time to time, is incorporated by reference into
these Terms and Conditions. Except with respect to the choice of law provision, in the event of any conflict between the terms of the Plan and the terms of these Terms and Conditions, the terms of the Plan will control. By not
declining the Award, you acknowledge receipt of the Plan, as in effect on the date of these Terms and Conditions.
18. Personal Data. To comply with applicable law and to administer the Plan and these Terms and Conditions properly, the Company and its agents may hold and process your personal data and/or
sensitive personal data. Such data includes, but is not limited to, the information provided in this grant package and any changes thereto, other appropriate personal and financial data about you, and information about your participation in the Plan and Shares obtained under the Plan from time to time. By not declining the Award, you hereby give your explicit consent to the Company’s processing any such personal data and/or sensitive personal data, and you also hereby give your explicit consent to the Company’s transfer of any such personal data and/or sensitive personal data outside the country in which you work or reside and to the United States. The legal persons for whom your personal data is intended include the
Company and any of its Subsidiaries (or former Subsidiaries as are deemed necessary), the outside Plan administrator as selected by the Company from time to time, and any other person that the Company may find in its administration of the Plan to be appropriate. You have the right to review and correct your personal data by contacting your local Human Resources representative. By not declining the Award, you understand and acknowledge that the transfer of the information outlined here is important to the administration of the Plan, and that failure to consent to the transmission of such information may limit or prohibit
your participation in the Plan and receipt of the Award.
By not declining the Award you agree, as a condition of participation in the Plan, that any personal data in relation to you may be held by the Company and/or a Subsidiary and/or the Board and/or the Committee and passed on to a third party broker, registrar, administrator and/or future purchaser of the Company for all purposes relating to the operation or administration of the Plan, including to countries or territories outside your country or territory or, where applicable, outside of the European Economic Area.
19. No Contract
of Employment or Promise of Future Grants. By not declining the Award, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions and acknowledge that the Award is granted at the sole discretion of the Company and is not considered part of any contract of employment with the Company or your ordinary or expected salary or other compensation, and that the Award will not be considered as part of such salary or compensation for purposes of any pension benefits or in the event of severance, redundancy or resignation. If your employment with the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated for any reason, whether lawfully
or unlawfully, you acknowledge and agree that you will not be entitled by way of damages or specific performance for breach of contract, dismissal or compensation for loss of office, tort or otherwise with respect to the Plan or this Award to any sum, shares or other benefits to compensate you for the loss or diminution in value of any actual or prospective rights, benefits or expectation under or in relation to the Plan or the forfeiture and/or termination of this Award.
20. Limitations. Nothing in these Terms and Conditions or the Plan gives you any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
or to interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate your employment at any time. Payment of Shares is not secured by a trust, insurance contract or other funding medium, and you do not have any interest in any fund or specific asset of the Company by reason of the Stock Option. You have no rights as a stockholder of the Company pursuant to the Stock Option until Shares are actually delivered you.
21. Incorporation of Other Agreements. These Terms and Conditions and the Plan constitute
the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding the Stock Option. These Terms and Conditions supercede any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning the Stock Option, except as otherwise provided in Section 17 above.
22. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Terms and Conditions will not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of these Terms and Conditions, which will remain in full force and effect. Moreover, if any provision is found to be excessively broad in duration, scope or
covered activity, the provision will be construed so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with applicable law.
23. Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of these Terms and Conditions shall be governed by the laws of the state of New Jersey without reference to principles of conflicts of laws that would direct the application of the law of any other jurisdiction.
By not declining this Award, you agree to and acknowledge the following:
(i) you have carefully read, fully understand and agree to all of the terms and conditions described in these Terms and Conditions and the Plan;
(ii) you
understand and agree that these Terms and Conditions and the Plan constitute a binding agreement between you and the Company and represent the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding the Stock Option, and that any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning the Stock Option are replaced and superseded; and
(iii) you acknowledge the authority of the Committee to administer and interpret these Terms and Conditions and the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan.
You will be deemed to consent to the application of the terms and conditions set forth in these Terms and Conditions and the Plan unless you contact Tyco International Ltd., c/o
Equity Plan Administration, 9 Roszel Road, Princeton, NJ08540 in writing within sixty days of the date of these Terms and Conditions. Notification of your non-consent will nullify this grant unless otherwise agreed to in writing by you and the Company.

qualifies you, or would qualify you for severance benefits under the Tyco International Change in Control Severance Plan for Certain U. S. Officers and Executives (the “CIC Severance Plan”) within two years following a Change in Control, Restricted Units will immediately become fully vested and payment shall be made as soon as practicable following such Change in Control Termination or your Termination of Employment by reason of a Good Reason Resignation, as described in the preceding sentence.
8. Termination of Employment as a Result of Divestiture or Outsourcing. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in Sections 6 or 7, if your involuntary
Termination of Employment other than for Cause is as a result of a Disposition of Assets, Disposition of a Subsidiary or Outsourcing Agreement (each as defined below), your Restricted Units will vest on a pro-rata basis based on the number of full months of service completed commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the date of your Termination of Employment divided by the number of full months required to achieve complete vesting (with an offset for Shares previously vested). Any payment shall be made to you as soon as practicable following the date of vesting.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall not be eligible for such pro-rata vesting if (i) your Termination of Employment occurs on or prior to the closing date of such Disposition of Assets or Disposition of a Subsidiary, as applicable, or on such later date as is specifically provided in the applicable transaction agreement or related agreements, or on the effective

Company or a Subsidiary by which you are employed of all or a portion of the assets used by the Company or Subsidiary in a trade or business to an unrelated corporation or entity; “Disposition of a Subsidiary” shall mean the disposition by the Company or a Subsidiary of its interest in a subsidiary or controlled entity to an unrelated individual or entity (which, for the avoidance of doubt, excludes a spin-off or split-off or similar transaction), provided that such subsidiary or entity ceases to be controlled by the Company as a result of such disposition; and “Outsourcing Agreement” shall mean a written agreement between the
Company or a Subsidiary and an unrelated third party (“Outsourcing Agent”) pursuant to which (i) the Company transfers the performance of services previously performed by employees of the Company or Subsidiary to the Outsourcing Agent, and (ii) the Outsourcing Agent is obligated to offer employment to any employee whose employment is being terminated as a result of or in connection with said Outsourcing Agreement.

(ii) have entered into an employment or consultation arrangement (including any arrangement for employment or service as an agent, partner, stockholder, consultant, officer or director) with any entity or person engaged in a business, which arrangement would likely (in the sole judgment of the Committee) result in the disclosure of business confidential or proprietary information related to any business of the Company or a Subsidiary to a business that is competitive with any Company or Subsidiary business as to which you have had access to business strategic or confidential information, and the Committee has not approved the arrangement in writing, then any unearned Performance Share Units will immediately be rescinded, and you will forfeit any rights you have with respect to these Performance Share Units as of the date of the Committee’s determination.

of the Company pursuant to the Performance Share Units until Shares are actually delivered to you.

21. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Terms and Conditions
will not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of the Agreement, which will remain in full force and effect. Moreover, if any provision is found to be excessively broad in
duration, scope or covered activity, the provision will be construed so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with applicable law.

Your Award shall continue to be credited with Dividend Equivalent Units during any such six-month delay period.
23. Section 409A. Payments under the Plan may be subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. The Committee may make such modifications to these Terms and Conditions as it deems necessary or appropriate
to comply with Section 409A.
