(p)                                 Neither the Company nor the Guarantor is in default in the performance or observance of any obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease or other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be bound, which default would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Guarantor and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.

(q)                                 The statements set forth in the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus under the caption “Description of Notes and Guarantee”, insofar as they purport to describe the material terms of the Securities and the Guarantee, and the statements set forth in the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus under the caption “Underwriting”, insofar as they purport to describe the material provisions of the laws and documents referred to therein, fairly describe, in all material respects, those terms and provisions.

(r)                                    To the extent that the statements set forth in the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus under the caption “Luxembourg, Switzerland and U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” purport to describe certain provisions of the United States federal tax laws referred to therein, such summaries fairly describe, in all material respects, such provisions.

(s)                                  Other than as set forth in the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending to which any of the Company, the Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary is a party which, is reasonably likely to be determined adversely to the Company, the Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary and would individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect on the Guarantor and its subsidiaries taken as a whole; and to the best of each of the Company’s and the Guarantor’s knowledge, neither the Company nor the Guarantor has received any written indication that any such proceedings are threatened or contemplated by governmental authorities or threatened by others.

(t)                                    The Guarantor is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

(u)                                 Neither the Company nor the Guarantor are, and after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Securities and the Guarantees and the application of the proceeds thereof, will be required to register as an “investment company”, as such term is defined in the United States Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).

(v)                                 (i)(A) At the time of filing the Registration Statement, (B) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or form of prospectus) and (C) at the time the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule

6

163(c) under the Act) made any offer relating to the Securities in reliance on the exemption of Rule 163 under the Act, the Company and the Guarantor were each “well-known seasoned issuers” as defined in Rule 405 under the Act; and (ii) at the earliest time after filing of the Registration Statement that the Company or another offering participant made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2) under the Act) of the Securities, neither the Company nor the Guarantor was an “ineligible issuer” as defined in Rule 405 under the Act.

(w)                               Deloitte & Touche LLP, who have certified certain consolidated financial statements of the Guarantor and its subsidiaries, are an independent registered public accounting firm as required by the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

(x)                                   The Guarantor maintains a system of internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that complies with the requirements of the Exchange Act and has been designed by the Guarantor’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or under their supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  Except as disclosed in the Pricing Prospectus, the internal control over consolidated financial reporting of the Guarantor is effective and the Guarantor is not aware of any material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting.

(y)                                 Except as disclosed in the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, since the date of the latest audited consolidated financial statements included in the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, there has been no change in internal control over the consolidated financial reporting of the Guarantor that has materially affected, or is likely to materially affect, the internal control over the consolidated financial reporting of the Guarantor.

(z)                                   The Guarantor maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) that comply with the requirements of the Exchange Act; such disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to ensure that material information relating to the Guarantor is made known to the Guarantor’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer by others within those entities; and such disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

(aa)                            Except as disclosed in the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, the Guarantor and each Significant Subsidiary are (i) in compliance with applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of human health and safety, the environment or hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, pollutants or contaminants (“Environmental Laws”); (ii) have received all permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses; (iii) are in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permits, licenses or approvals; and (iv) have not received notice of any actual or potential liability under any Environmental Law, except in any such case where the failure to comply with Environmental Laws or failures to receive or to comply with such permits, licenses or approvals would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Guarantor and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.  In the ordinary course of its business, the Guarantor periodically reviews the effect of Environmental Laws on its business, operations and properties, in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated costs and liabilities (including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up,

7

closure of properties or compliance with Environmental Laws, or any permit, license or approval, any related constraints on operating activities and any potential liabilities to third parties); on the basis of such review, the Guarantor has reasonably concluded that such associated costs and liabilities would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on the Guarantor and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus.

(bb)                          Except as described in the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, to the Guarantor’s knowledge, the Guarantor, the Company or one or more of their subsidiaries owns, possesses or has the right to employ such patents, patent rights, licenses, inventions, copyrights, know-how (including trade secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or confidential information, software, systems or procedures), trademarks, service marks and trade names, inventions, computer programs, technical data and information (collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”) that the Guarantor and the Company reasonably believe are necessary to conduct their businesses, in all material respects, as now conducted. Except as set forth or contemplated in the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, neither the Guarantor nor, to its knowledge, any subsidiary has received any written notice of infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of others with respect to any of the Intellectual Property Rights, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect on the Guarantor and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(cc)                            Except as described in the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, no executive officer or director of the Company, the Guarantor or of any Significant Subsidiary is aware of or has taken any action, directly or indirectly, that would result in a violation by such persons of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “FCPA”), including, without limitation, making use of the mails or any means or instrumentality of interstate commerce corruptly in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay or authorization of the payment of any money, or other property, gift, promise to give, or authorization of the giving of anything of value to any “foreign official” (as such term is defined in the FCPA) or any foreign political party or official thereof or any candidate for foreign political office, in contravention of the FCPA, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect on the Guarantor and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(dd)                          Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any director, officer, agent, employee or affiliate of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is currently subject to any sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department (“OFAC”); and to the best of the Company’s knowledge, the Company will not directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the offering, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any subsidiary, joint venture partner or other person or entity, for the purpose of financing the activities of any person currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC.

(ee)                            The Company represents that the choice of law provisions set forth in this Agreement are legal, valid and binding under the laws of Luxembourg and will be recognized and given effect to by the courts of Luxembourg (unless a court determined that doing so would be contrary to public policy in Luxembourg); the Company has, under the laws of Luxembourg, the power to submit to the jurisdiction of New York Courts; the irrevocable submission of the Company to the

8

jurisdiction of the New York courts and the waiver by the Company of any immunity and any objection to the venue of the proceeding in a New York court, included in this Agreement, are legal, valid and binding under the laws of Luxembourg; neither the Company nor any of its assets is entitled to immunity (or any similar defense) from suit, execution, attachment or other legal process in Luxembourg; this Agreement is in proper legal form under the laws of Luxembourg for the enforcement thereof against the Company, and nothing in Luxembourg prevents suit upon this Agreement in the courts of Luxembourg; and it is not necessary (a) in order to enable the Underwriters to exercise or enforce their rights under this Agreement in Luxembourg or (b) by reason of the entry into and performance of this Agreement, that any of the Underwriters should be licensed, qualified, authorized or entitled to do business in Luxembourg.

(ff)                                The Guarantor represents that the choice of law provisions set forth in this Agreement are legal, valid and binding under the laws of Switzerland, and will be recognized and given effect to by the courts of Switzerland (unless a Swiss court determined that doing so would be contrary to public policy in Switzerland); the Guarantor has, under the laws of Switzerland, the power to submit to the jurisdiction of New York Courts; the irrevocable submission of the Guarantor to the jurisdiction of the New York courts and the waiver by the Guarantor of any immunity and any objection to the venue of the proceeding in a New York court, included in this Agreement, are legal, valid and binding under the laws of Switzerland; neither the Guarantor nor any of its assets is entitled to immunity (or any similar defense) from suit, execution, attachment or other legal process in Switzerland; this Agreement is in proper legal form under the laws of Switzerland, for the enforcement thereof against the Guarantor and nothing in Swiss law prevents suit upon this Agreement in the courts of Switzerland; and it is not necessary (a) in order to enable the Underwriters to exercise or enforce their rights under this Agreement in Switzerland or (b) by reason of the entry into and performance of this Agreement, that any of the Underwriters should be licensed, qualified, authorized or entitled to do business in Switzerland.

(iii)                               any such free writing prospectus the use of which has been consented to by the Company and the Representatives (including the final term sheet prepared and filed pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof) is listed on Schedule II(b) hereto;

(b)                                 The Company has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 under the Act applicable to any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the Commission or retention where required and legending; and

8.                                       The obligations of the Underwriters hereunder shall be subject, in their discretion, to the condition that all representations and warranties and other statements of the Company and the Guarantor herein are, at and as of the Time of Delivery, true and correct, the condition that the Company and the Guarantor shall have each performed all of its obligations hereunder theretofore to be performed, and the following additional conditions:

(a)                                  The Prospectus shall have been filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act within the applicable time period prescribed for such filing by the rules and regulations under the Act and in accordance with Section 5(a) hereof; the final term sheet contemplated by Section 5(a) hereof, and any other material required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act, shall have been filed with the Commission within the applicable time periods prescribed for such filings by Rule 433; no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any part thereof shall have been issued and no proceeding for that purpose shall have been initiated or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened by the Commission and no notice of objection of the Commission to the use of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Act shall have been received; no stop order suspending or preventing the use of the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus shall have been initiated or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened by the Commission; and all requests for additional information on the part of the Commission shall have been complied with to your reasonable satisfaction.

(i)                                     (i)  None of the Company, the Guarantor nor any subsidiary thereof shall have sustained since the date of the latest audited consolidated financial statements included in the Pricing Prospectus any loss or interference with its business from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action, order or decree, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Pricing Prospectus, and (ii) since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Pricing Prospectus there shall not have been any material change in the capital stock or long-term debt of the Company, the Guarantor or any subsidiary thereof or any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the general affairs, management, consolidated financial position, consolidated shareholders’ equity or consolidated results of operations of the Guarantor, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Pricing Prospectus, the effect of which, in any such case described in clause (i) or (ii), is in your judgment so material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or the delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in this Agreement and in the Prospectus;

(j)                                     On or after the Applicable Time (i) no downgrading shall have occurred in the rating accorded to such debt securities or preferred stock of the Company or the Guarantor by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization”, as that term is defined by the Commission for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Act, and (ii) no such organization shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of any of the Company’s or the Guarantor’s debt securities or preferred stock;

(l)                                     The Company shall have furnished or caused to be furnished to you at the Time of Delivery certificates satisfactory to you as to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Guarantor and the Company herein at and as of such Time of Delivery, as to the performance by the Guarantor and the Company of all of its obligations hereunder to be performed at or prior to such Time of Delivery, as to the matters set forth in subsections (a) and  (i) of this Section and as to such other matters as you may reasonably request.

9.                                       (a)                                  The Company and the Guarantor, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company and the Guarantor shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or the Guarantor by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein.

(b)                                 Each Underwriter severally and not jointly will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Guarantor against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or the Guarantor may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, or

15

any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or the Guarantor by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company and the Guarantor for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or the Guarantor in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.

(c)                                  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection.  In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.  The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.  No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d)                                 If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities.  If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantor on the one hand and the

16

Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Guarantor bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the Prospectus.  The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and the Guarantor on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.  The Company, the Guarantor and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d).  The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities purchased by it and distributed to investors were offered to investors exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  The Underwriters’ obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective purchasing obligations and not joint.

(e)                                  The obligations of the Company and the Guarantor under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company or the Guarantor may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to any affiliate of each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act and each broker dealer affiliate of any Underwriter; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, and to each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, within the meaning of the Act.

10.                                 (a)                                  If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to purchase the Securities which it has agreed to purchase hereunder, you may in your discretion arrange for you or another party or other parties to purchase such Securities on the terms contained herein. If within thirty-six hours after such default by any Underwriter you do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to you to purchase such Securities on such terms.  In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, you notify the Company that you have so arranged for the purchase of such Securities, or the Company notifies you that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Securities, you or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Time of Delivery for a period of not more than  seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company and the Guarantor agree to prepare promptly any amendments to the Prospectus which in your opinion may thereby be made necessary.  The term

17

“Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Securities.

(b)                                 If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by you and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities which remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the principal amount of Securities which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase its pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Securities which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Securities of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

(c)                                  If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by you and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of Securities which remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then this Agreement shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company or the Guarantor, except for the expenses to be borne by the Company, the Guarantor and the Underwriters as provided in Section 7 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 9 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

11.                                 The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, the Guarantor and the several Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person of any Underwriter, or the Company or the Guarantor, or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company or the Guarantor, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.

12.                                 If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 10 hereof, neither the Company nor the Guarantor shall then be under any liability to any Underwriter except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof; but, if for any other reason, the Securities are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company as provided herein, the Company or the Guarantor will reimburse the Underwriters through you for all out of pocket expenses approved in writing by you, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the Securities, but neither the Company nor the Guarantor shall then be under further liability to any Underwriter except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof.

13.                                 In all dealings hereunder, you shall act on behalf of each of the Underwriters, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or given by you by the Representatives.  All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered or sent by mail,

18

telex or facsimile transmission to you as the Representatives in care of Goldman, Sachs & Co., 200 West Street, New York, New York 10282, Attention: Registration Department, Telephone: 866-471-2526, and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, One Bryant Park, New York, New York 10036, Attention: High Grade Transaction Management/Legal, Facsimile: 646-855-5958; if to the Company shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to the address of the Company set forth in the Prospectus, Attention: Secretary; if to the Guarantor shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to the address of the Guarantor set forth in the Prospectus, Attention: Secretary; provided, however, that any notice to an Underwriter shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to such Underwriter at its address set forth in its Underwriters’ Questionnaire, or telex constituting such Questionnaire, which address will be supplied to the Company and the Guarantor by you upon request.  Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect upon receipt thereof.

In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow  the Underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.

14.                                 This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Underwriters, the Company and the Guarantor and, to the extent provided in Sections 9 and 11 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company and the Guarantor and each person who controls the Company or the Guarantor or any Underwriter, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.

15.                                 Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement. As used herein, the term “business day” shall mean any day when the Commission’s office in Washington, D.C. is open for business.

16.                                 Each of the Company and the Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that (i) the purchase and sale of the Securities and the Guarantees pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Company or the Guarantor, (iii) no Underwriter has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company or the Guarantor with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company or the Guarantor on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and (iv) each of the Company and the Guarantor has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. Each of the Company and the Guarantor agrees that it will not claim that the Underwriter, or any of them, has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Company or the Guarantor, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

17.                                 This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company or the Guarantor and the Underwriters, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

19

18.                                 This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

19.                                 The Company, the Guarantor and each of the Underwriters hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

20.                                 Each of the Company and the Guarantor irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or United States Federal court sitting in The City of New York over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement.  Each of the Company and the Guarantor irrevocably waives, to the full extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. To the extent that the Company or the Guarantor has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise) from the jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process with respect to itself or its property, each of the Company and the Guarantor irrevocably waives, to the full extent permitted by law, such immunity in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding. Each of the Company and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably appoints CT Corporation System, with offices at 111 Eighth Avenue, New York, New York 10011, as its agent for service of process in any suit, action or proceeding described in the preceding paragraph and agrees that service of process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be made upon it at the office of such agent.  Each of the Company and the Guarantor waives, to the full extent permitted by law, any other requirements of or objections to personal jurisdiction with respect thereto.  Each of the Company and the Guarantor represents and warrants that such agent has agreed to act as its agent for service of process, and the Company and the Guarantor each agrees to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents and instruments, that may be necessary to continue such appointment in full force and effect.

21.                                 If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder into any currency other than United States dollars, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the purchasers could purchase United States dollars with such other currency in The City of New York on the business day preceding that on which final judgment is given.  The obligation of the Company and the Guarantor with respect to any sum due from either of them to any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than United States dollars, not be discharged until the first business day following receipt by such Underwriter or controlling person of such Underwriter of any sum in such other currency, and only to the extent that such Underwriter or controlling person of such Underwriter may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase United States dollars with such other currency. If the United States dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to such Underwriter or controlling person of such Underwriter hereunder, the Company and the Guarantor jointly and severally agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Underwriter or controlling person of such Underwriter against such loss.  If the United States dollars so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to such Underwriter or controlling person of such Underwriter hereunder, such Underwriter or controlling person of such Underwriter agrees to pay to the Guarantor an amount equal to the excess of the dollars so purchased over the sum originally due to such Underwriter or controlling person of such Underwriter hereunder.

22.                                 This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto in any number of

20

counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such respective counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

23.                               Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company and the Guarantor are authorized to disclose to any and all persons, the tax treatment and tax structure of the potential transaction and all materials of any kind (including tax opinions and other tax analyses) provided to the Company or the Guarantor relating to that treatment and structure, without the Underwriters’ imposing any limitation of any kind. However, any information relating to the tax treatment and tax structure shall remain confidential (and the foregoing sentence shall not apply) to the extent necessary to enable any person to comply with securities laws. For this purpose, “tax treatment” means US federal and state income tax treatment, and “tax structure” is limited to any facts that may be relevant to that treatment.

21

If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign and return to us five counterparts hereof, and upon the acceptance hereof by you, on behalf of each of the Underwriters, this letter and such acceptance hereof shall constitute a binding agreement between each of the Underwriters, the Company and the Guarantor.  It is understood that your acceptance of this letter on behalf of each of the Underwriters is pursuant to the authority set forth in a form of Agreement among Underwriters, the form of which shall be submitted to the Company for examination upon request, but without warranty on your part as to the authority of the signers thereof.

ANNEX I

Deloitte & Touche Comfort Letter

December 15, 2010

Goldman, Sachs & Co. and BofA Merrill Lynch

As Representatives of the several Underwriters

for the offering of US $XXX,XXX,XXX X.X% Senior Notes

due XXXX of Tyco Electronics Group S.A. fully and

unconditionally guaranteed by Tyco Electronics Ltd.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Tyco Electronics Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of September 24, 2010 and September 25, 2009, and the consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended September 24, 2010, the related financial statement schedule, and the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 24, 2010.  The Company’s consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule and our report thereon and our report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting are included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 24, 2010, and incorporated by reference in the registration statement (No. 333-152069) on Form S-3 filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Act).  The registration statement and the preliminary prospectus supplement dated December 15, 2010 are herein referred to as the registration statement.

In connection with the registration statement—

1.              We are an independent registered public accounting firm with respect to the Company within the meaning of the Act and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”).

2.              In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule audited by us and incorporated by reference in the registration statement comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the related rules and regulations adopted by the SEC.

3.              We have not audited any financial statements of the Company as of any date or for any period subsequent to September 24, 2010; although we have conducted an audit for the year ended September 24, 2010, the purpose (and therefore the scope) of the audit was to enable us to express our opinion on the consolidated financial statements as of September 24, 2010, and for the year then ended, but not on the Company’s financial statements for any interim period within that year.

4.              For purposes of this letter, we have read the 2010 minutes of the meetings of the board of directors, the audit committee, and the compensation committee of the Company and its subsidiaries as set forth in the minutes books at December 13, 2010, officials of the Company having advised us that the minutes of all such meetings through that date were set forth therein except for the meetings that occurred on November 30,

I-1

2010 and December 1, 2010; we have carried out other procedures to December 13, 2010, as follows (our work did not extend to the period from December 14, 2010 to December 15, 2010, inclusive):

a.              With respect to the period from September 25, 2010, to December 13, 2010, we have—

(i)                                     Read the unaudited consolidated financial information of the Company and subsidiaries for October and November of 2010 furnished us by the Company, officials of the Company having advised us that no such financial information as of any date or for any period subsequent to November 26, 2010, were available. The financial information for October and November is incomplete in that it omits the statements of cash flows and other disclosures.

(ii)                                  Inquired of certain officials of the Company who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters whether the unaudited consolidated financial information referred to in a(i) are stated on a basis substantially consistent with that of the audited consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

The foregoing procedures do not constitute an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Also, they would not necessarily reveal matters of significance with respect to the comments in the following paragraph. Accordingly, we make no representations about the sufficiency of the foregoing procedures for your purposes.

5.              Nothing came to our attention as a result of the foregoing procedures, however, that caused us to believe that—

a.                                      At November 26, 2010, there was any change in the common shares, increase in long-term debt, or any decreases in consolidated total current assets or shareholders’ equity of the consolidated companies as compared with amounts shown in the September 24, 2010 consolidated balance sheet incorporated by reference in the registration statement except for a decrease in consolidated total current assets of $121 million, or

b.                                      For the period from September 25, 2010 to November 26, 2010, there were any decreases, as compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year, in consolidated net sales or operating income, except in all instances for changes, increases, or decreases that the registration statement discloses have occurred or may occur.

6.              As mentioned in 4a(i), Company officials have advised us that no consolidated financial statements as of any date or for any period subsequent to November 26, 2010, are available; accordingly, the procedures carried out by us with respect to changes in financial statement items after November 26, 2010, have, of necessity, been even more limited than those with respect to the periods referred to in 4. We have inquired of certain officials of the Company who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters whether (a) at December 13, 2010, there was any change in the common shares, increase in long-term debt, or any decreases in consolidated total current assets or shareholders’ equity of the consolidated companies as compared with amounts shown on the September 24, 2010, consolidated balance sheet incorporated by reference into the registration statement or (b) for the period from September 25, 2010, to December 13, 2010 there were any decreases, as compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year, in consolidated net sales or operating income. On the basis of these inquiries and our reading of the minutes as described in 4, we noted that—

I-2

a.              Nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that the balance of common shares (after rounding to the nearest million) changed during the period, except in all instances for changes, increases, or decreases that the registration statement discloses have occurred or may occur.

b.              Nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that there was an increase in total long-term debt during the period, excluding the assumption of ADC Telecommunications, Inc. debt, except in all instances for changes, increases, or decreases that the registration statement discloses have occurred or may occur.

c.               Officials of the Company have informed us that (a) although they recognize that they recently completed the acquisition of ADC Telecommunications, Inc. on December 8, 2010, they are unable to comment as to whether there has been any decrease in consolidated total current assets or shareholders’ equity of the consolidated companies as of December 13, 2010 as compared with the amounts shown in the September 24, 2010 consolidated balance sheet, as no related consolidated financial data as of December 13, 2010 is available, and (b) they are unable to comment as to whether there has been any decrease in consolidated net sales or operating income of the consolidated companies for the period November 26, 2010 to December 13, 2010, as compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year, as no related consolidated financial data for the periods indicated are available.

7.              For purposes of this letter, we have also read the items identified by you on the attached excerpts of documents incorporated by reference in the registration statement and have performed the following procedures which were applied, as indicated with respect to the symbols explained below. For purposes of these procedures, rounding indicates that whole numbers have been rounded to the nearest thousand, million or billion, as the context would indicate, in the attached documents.

A.            Compared the amounts or percentages identified as (A) to the corresponding amounts or percentages shown in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the periods indicated and found them to be in agreement, after rounding, as applicable.

B.            Compared the amounts or percentages identified as (B) to the corresponding amounts or percentages shown on a schedule provided by the Company, derived from underlying accounting records, and found them to be in agreement, after rounding, as applicable. It should be understood that (1) we make no representations regarding the Company’s determination and presentation of the non-GAAP measures of organic revenue, and (2) the non-GAAP measures presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

8.              Our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the periods referred to in the introductory paragraph of this letter comprised audit tests and procedures deemed necessary for the purpose of expressing an opinion on such financial statements taken as a whole. For none of the periods referred to therein, or any other period, did we perform audit tests for the purpose of expressing an opinion on individual balances of accounts or summaries of selected transaction such as those enumerated above and, accordingly, we express no opinion thereon.

9.             It should be understood that we make no representations regarding questions of legal interpretation or regarding the sufficiency for your purposes of the procedures enumerated in paragraph 7; also, such procedures would not necessarily reveal any material misstatement of the amounts or percentages listed above. Further, we have addressed ourselves solely to the foregoing data as set forth in the registration

I-3

statement and make no representations regarding the adequacy of disclosure or regarding whether any material facts have been omitted.

10.       This letter is solely for the information of the addressees and to assist the underwriters in conducting and documenting their investigation of the affairs of the Company in connection with the offering of the securities covered by the registration statement, and it is not to be used, circulated, quoted, or otherwise referred to within or without the underwriting group for any purpose, including but not limited to the registration, purchase, or sale of securities, nor is it to be filed with or referred to in whole or in part in the registration statement or any other document, except that reference may be made to it in the underwriting agreement or in any list of closing documents pertaining to the offering of the securities covered by the registration statement.

ANNEX II

Form of Weil Gotshal Opinion Pursuant to Section 8(c)

The opinion of Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, outside counsel for the Company and the Guarantor, to be delivered pursuant to Section 8(c) of the Underwriting Agreement shall be to the effect that:

1.     The execution and delivery by the Company and the Guarantor of the Underwriting Agreement, the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantee, as the case may be, and the performance by the Company and the Guarantor of their respective obligations thereunder and under the Base Indenture will not conflict with, constitute a default under or violate (i) any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any document listed on Schedule A hereto; and (ii) the laws of the State of New York or any federal law or regulation (other than federal and state securities or Blue Sky laws, as to which we express no opinion in this paragraph).

2.     The Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.  Assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Trustee, the Indenture is a valid and binding agreement of the Company and the Guarantor, enforceable against the Company and the Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).

3.     The Notes when duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming due authentication by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, are valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity), and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

4.     The Guarantee, when duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Guarantor and, assuming due authentication of the Notes by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, is a valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor, enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity), and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

5.     No consent, approval, waiver, license or authorization or other action by or filing with any federal or New York corporate governmental authority is required in connection with the execution and delivery by the Company and the Guarantor of the Underwriting Agreement, the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantee and the consummation by the Company and the Guarantor of the transactions contemplated thereby or the performance by the Company and the Guarantor of their respective obligations thereunder and under the Base Indenture, except for those in connection with federal and state securities or Blue Sky laws, as to which we express no opinion in this paragraph, and those already obtained or made.

II-1

6.     The statements set forth in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus under the captions “Description of the Notes and the Guarantee”, “Benefit Plan Investor Considerations” and “Underwriting” insofar as such statements constitute summaries of the legal matters, documents or proceedings referred to therein, fairly present the information required with respect to such legal matters, documents and proceedings and fairly summarize the matters referred to therein in all material respects.  The statements set forth in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus under the caption “Luxemburg, Switzerland and U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” insofar as they constitute summaries of matters of U.S. federal tax law and regulations or legal conclusions with respect thereto, constitute accurate summaries of the matters described therein in all material respects.

7.     Neither the Company nor the Guarantor is, and following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement neither will be, an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

8.     The Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and we are not aware of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

9.     Subject to the foregoing, we confirm to you that, on the basis of the information we gained in the course of performing the services referred to above, no facts have come to our attention which cause us to believe that (i) the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, each as of the date of the Underwriting Agreement, does not comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Rules and Regulations thereunder, (ii) the Registration Statement (including the Incorporated Documents), as of the date of the Underwriting Agreement, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (iii) the Time of Sale Prospectus (including any Incorporated Documents), as of the Applicable Time, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (iv) the Prospectus (including any Incorporated Documents), as of its date or as of the date hereof, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

ANNEX III

Form of Allen & Overy Opinion Pursuant to Section 8(d)

The opinion of Allen & Overy Luxembourg, special Luxembourg counsel for the Company, to be delivered pursuant to Section 8(d) of the Underwriting Agreement shall be to the effect that:

1.6                               Each Opinion Document constitutes, subject to its validity, legality and enforceability under New York law by which it is expressed to be governed, a valid and binding agreement of the Company and is enforceable.

The registration of the Opinion Documents in Luxembourg and any documents mentioned therein or connected therewith may become necessary, if and when they are referred to or used in a Luxembourg public deed and Luxembourg courts or an official Luxembourg authority may require the prior registration of the Opinion Documents in Luxembourg, if they were to be produced in a Luxembourg court action or exhibited before an official Luxembourg authority.

1.12                        Subject to qualification [ ] below, any final and conclusive judgement obtained in any federal or New York State court, arising out of or in relation to the obligations of the Company under the Opinion Documents, would be enforceable in Luxembourg against the Company, subject to the exequatur (enforcement) procedure.

1.13                        Under the laws of Luxembourg, none of the parties to the Opinion Documents will be deemed to be resident, domiciled, carrying on any commercial activity or subject to taxation in Luxembourg solely as a result of the execution, delivery and performance of any of the Opinion Documents.

1.14                        It is not necessary under the laws of Luxembourg that the parties to the Opinion Documents be authorized or qualified to carry on business in Luxembourg (i) by reason of the execution of any Opinion Document and (ii) in order to enable it to enforce its rights under such Opinion Document.

III-3

Form of Appleby Opinion Pursuant to Section 8(e)

The opinion of Appleby, Bermuda counsel for the Guarantor, to be delivered pursuant to Section 8(e) of the Underwriting Agreement shall be to the effect that:

(1)           As at the date of execution of each of the Indentures (each, an “Execution Date”), and immediately prior to the Discontinuance the Guarantor was an exempted company incorporated with limited liability and existing in good standing under the laws of Bermuda.

(4)           As at each Execution Date the applicable Indenture executed on that date was duly executed by the Guarantor and, constituted legal, valid and binding obligations of the Guarantor.

(5)           The Discontinuance does not have the effect of revoking the Resolutions or of otherwise affecting their validity.

(6)           The Resolutions authorize the issue and sale of one or more series of Debt Securities, as therein defined, which would include the Notes, and the guarantee thereof by the Guarantor.

For the purpose of this opinion, “Indentures” refers to the Base Indenture and each supplemental indenture entered into by the Guarantor prior to the Discontinuance.

6.     The choice of the laws of the State of New York by the Guarantor under the Subject Agreements is a valid choice of law and the Guarantor’s submission to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York pursuant to the Subject Agreements is valid and legally binding on the Guarantor.

7.     A final and conclusive judgement of the courts of New York, rendered in an action brought against the Guarantor, will be recognized and enforced upon request by the competent courts of Switzerland according to the Convention on Jurisdiction and Enforcement of Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters of 16 September 1988 (the “Lugano Convention”) or the Federal Act on International Private Law (the “IPLA”), provided that the prerequisites of the Lugano Convention or the IPLA, as the case may be, are met.
