       ALLIEDSIGNAL INC.'S REPLY MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT OF ITS
       MOTION AND SUPPLEMENTAL MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND FOR AN
         IMMEDIATE DECLARATORY JUDGMENT AND PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION
       --------------------------------------------------------------

          This is a case about the fundamental  division of power
          between the shareholders -- the owners of a corporation
          -- and  their  elected  representatives,  the  board of
          directors. It is not a case about the latitude given to
          directors in exercising the powers  properly  vested in
          them; nor is it about a breach of fiduciary  duties. It
          is a case about shareholder rights.

                                          AlliedSignal's Opening
                                          Brief at 2-3(FN1)

- -------------------
1     Memorandum in Support of AlliedSignal's Motion for Summary Judgment and
      for an Immediate Declaratory Judgment and Preliminary Injunction filed
      September 14, 1998, hereinafter "AlliedSignal's Opening Brief."  The
      Memorandum in Support of AlliedSignal's Supplemental Motion for Summary
      Judgment and for an Immediate Declaratory Judgment and Preliminary
      Injunction filed September 18, 1998 is hereinafter "AlliedSignal's
      Supplemental Brief."

          In each of its Complaints and in its Motion for Summary Judgment,
AlliedSignal Inc. ("AlliedSignal") explicitly alleged and has consistently
argued that the acts of AMP Incorporated's ("AMP") incumbent directors were
illegal and ultra vires; yet, AMP devotes its entire 33 page brief to
fending off imagined allegations of a breach of fiduciary duty, a claim not
made, and a matter not at issue in this motion or in this case. While AMP's
brief has aggressively attacked the straw man of fiduciary duties, it has
failed to provide any justification for its directors' seizure of the
corporate governance machinery and suspension of shareholder voting rights
in violation of Pennsylvania law and its own charter.

I.   ALLIEDSIGNAL NEITHER ALLEGES NOR SEEKS RELIEF FOR A BREACH OF
     FIDUCIARY DUTY
     -------------------------------------------------------------

          This case is about AMP's directors' manipulation of corporate
governance machinery in violation of Pennsylvania law and the subversion of
AMP's own shareholders' rights in contravention of AMP's Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws. It is not about a breach of the directors'
fiduciary responsibility in evaluating AlliedSignal's tender offer. While
Pennsylvania law gives AMP's directors broad authority to adopt
anti-takeover provisions and to reject AlliedSignal's, or any other, tender
offer, it does not give AMP's directors the right to violate Pennsylvania
law authorizing shareholder democracy, nor the right to sabotage
shareholders' rights explicitly granted by the board as a quid pro quo for
reincorporation in Pennsylvania.(FN2) Similarly, Pennsylvania law does not
give AMP's directors the right to jettison the consent process through
which shareholders are authorized by the Pennsylvania Business Corporation
Law ("PBCL") and AMP's own charter to express their views concerning
corporate governance.(FN3)

- -------------------
2     When AMP changed its state of incorporation in 1989 from New Jersey to
      Pennsylvania, the AMP board, in its proxy statement inducing
      shareholders to consent to that change, explicitly assured shareholders
      that the new Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws would "continue
      provisions presently applicable to the Corporation under New Jersey
      law" and noted that the new Articles specifically preserved the right
      given AMP's shareholders under New Jersey law to act by written consent
      through a consent solicitation.  1989 AMP Proxy Statement at 15, Ex. B
      to AlliedSignal's Supplemental Brief.

3     To assist the Court, AlliedSignal has attached as Exhibit A a one-page
      listing of the relevant statutory and charter provisions that guarantee
      the AMP shareholders' rights.

          It is not enough for AMP to claim that in the exercise of their
fiduciary duties the directors have broad latitude to defend against
unsolicited tender offers, and that the directors did not breach their
fiduciary duties. Even if true, this claim would not immunize the
directors' conduct from the charge of manipulating the corporate governance
process and abrogating shareholders' right to participate in a consent
solicitation to determine (1) who serves as a director, and (2) what group
of persons shall exercise corporate powers with respect to the poison pill.
It is because of the AMP directors' derogation of these fundamental rights
in violation of Pennsylvania law and AMP's own charter -- not because the
directors exercised their discretion to reject AlliedSignal's tender offer
or proposed merger -- that AlliedSignal is seeking relief from this Court.

          Although AMP goes to great pains to avoid the issue, there is a
distinction between a fiduciary duty claim, and a claim that a board is
interfering with the shareholder franchise. Indeed, in the Norfolk Southern
case relied on so heavily by AMP, Judge VanArtsdalen, applying Pennsylvania
law, rejected Norfolk's fiduciary duty claims but enjoined conduct that
"effectively disenfranchised" Conrail shareholders because such conduct was
a fundamentally unfair interference with shareholders' right to vote.
Norfolk Southern Corp. v. Conrail, Inc., Civ. Act. No. 96-7167 (E.D. Pa.
Dec. 17, 1996). AlliedSignal's Opening Brief, App. Ex. A-6 at 68.(FN4)

- -------------------

4    Notwithstanding AMP's protestations, IBS Financial Corp. v. Seidman &
     Assocs., L.L.C., 136 F.3d 940 (3d Cir. 1998), also supports this
     point. Although decided under New Jersey law (which has also rejected
     the "heightened security" standard applied in the takeover context in
     Delaware), the Third Circuit there recognized the importance of the
     shareholder franchise in enjoining an action by the directors
     motivated by a desire to frustrate that franchise.

          AMP can point to no authority suggesting that Pennsylvania law
protects a shareholder's fundamental right to vote -- which is guaranteed
by statutory and charter provisions -- with any less vigor than other
jurisdictions. Pennsylvania law permits a board of directors to "just say
no" to a tender offer. However, none of the arguments made, or cases cited,
by AMP supports the proposition that the directors can "just say no" to a
consent solicitation (which is what the directors' adoption of the
nonredemption and nullification provisions does by frustrating the intent
of the proposals and rendering the shareholders' vote a nullity).

          On the contrary, the AMP shareholders' right to act by written
consent is expressly authorized under Pennsylvania law and AMP's Articles
of Incorporation.(FN5) There is no authority under Pennsylvania law, express or
implied, that the directors acting by themselves may deprive the
shareholders of that right in the face of an unsolicited tender offer or
otherwise.(FN6) The fact that Pennsylvania law permits the directors to take
certain defensive measures prior, or in response, to an unsolicited tender
offer, is not a guarantee that the outcome of such tender offer will
conform to the will of the incumbent directors.

- -------------------

5    As discussed in AlliedSignal's Supplemental Brief at 9, in 1989 AMP's
     board (4 of whom are on the current board) recommended to the
     shareholders that the right to act by written consent be added to
     AMP's Articles of Incorporation as an inducement to reincorporating in
     Pennsylvania.

6    On the contrary, pursuant to PBCL section 1914, the right to act by
     written consent may be removed from AMP's Articles of Incorporation
     only by a vote of the shareholders.

II.  THE PBCL DOES NOT GIVE AMP THE AUTHORITY TO ADOPT THE NONREDEMPTION
     AND NULLIFICATION PROVISIONS
     -------------------------------------------------------------------

          AMP suggests that PBCL sections 1525 and 2513 give the current
directors unfettered discretion to take any and all actions with regard to
AMP's poison pill. AMP argues that those provisions and the accompanying
Committee Comments give its directors broad latitude to define the terms of
the poison pill and to design the pill so that it can be amended only with
the approval of certain designated persons. Nothing in sections 1525 or
2513, however, permits the board to do what it has done here: amend the
poison pill so that, if shareholders vote contrary to the board's view, no
one -- not current directors, not new directors, not shareholders -- can
redeem the pill regardless of the merits of doing so.

          To the contrary, although section 2513 permits a board of
directors to adopt a poison pill, and affords directors latitude regarding
redemption of a pill, the Committee Comment explains that any decision of
"a board of directors in connection with a shareholder rights plan . . .
WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE STANDARD OF CARE PROVIDED IN SECTION 1721[NOW
1712]." Committee Comment to PBCL section 2513 (emphasis added). Section
1712 makes clear that directors are obligated to consider each offer put
before them. See AlliedSignal's Opening Brief at 21-22. This duty applies
equally to future AMP boards. Yet, if the nonredemption and nullification
provisions are allowed to stand, the current AMP directors will have taken
from themselves and any future directors the ability to fulfill this duty.

          Nor can AMP argue that section 2513 somehow "trumps" the
provisions of section 1721 authorizing AlliedSignal's Shareholder Rights
Proposal. PBCL section 1721 unambiguously provides that corporate powers
are exercisable by a board of directors "[u]nless otherwise provided by
statute OR IN A BYLAW ADOPTED BY THE SHAREHOLDERS," PBCL section 1721
(emphasis added). The statute provides further that a shareholder bylaw may
dictate which person or persons, including but not limited to the board of
directors, may exercise such powers.(FN7)

- -------------------

7    For this reason, AMP's attempt to compare the Pennsylvania statute
     with the Georgia statute under which a court upheld a continuing
     director provision is misplaced. See Invacare Corp. v. Healthdyne
     Technologies, Inc., 968 F. Supp. 1578 (N.D. Ga. 1997). Unlike the
     Georgia statute, the Pennsylvania statute does not give the board of
     directors "authority to determine IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, the terms
     and conditions of [shareholder rights plans]." O.C.G.A. section
     14-2-624(c). Nor does Georgia permit shareholders of registered
     corporations to adopt bylaws controlling the exercise of corporate
     powers. Id. at 1582 (noting that while O.C.G.A. section 14-2-801(b) of
     the Georgia statute allows shareholder bylaws in general, O.C.G.A.
     section 14-2-731(c) precludes such bylaws for registered
     corporations). In contrast, section 1721 has a broad carve-out
     authorizing non-board members to exercise or perform the power and
     duties conferred or imposed on the board of directors by law.

          AMP appears to suggest that section 2513 should control over
section 1721 because it is a more "specific provision" and section 2501
provides that the specific provisions of Chapter 25 control over general
provisions elsewhere in the PBCL. This notion of the specific controlling
over the general only comes into play, however, if the statutory provisions
conflict with each other. There is no need to decide which provision
controls here because section 1721 and section 2513 do not conflict with
one another. Although section 2513 grants certain powers to the board, it
does not do so exclusively, and nothing in the provision suggests that the
powers it grants to the board cannot be vested in another group of persons
under section 1721.(FN8) Hence, there is no reason to believe that the
shareholders' right under section 1721's to authorize non-board members to
exercise or perform the power and duties which otherwise would be conferred
or imposed on the board of directors does not apply to section 2513, just
as it would to any other statutory power.

- -------------------

8    Similarly, many sections of the PBCL give the directors authority to
     manage the affairs of the corporation. Under AMP's logic, the PBCL
     would prevent anyone but the board of directors from acting in any of
     these situations. This logic would render meaningless the provision in
     section 1721 allowing shareholders to delegate the powers of the
     directors to third parties such as rights agents.

          AMP's arguments that PBCL section 1715, Pennsylvania's
"constituency statute," somehow allows it to interfere with a corporate
election are similarly off the mark. PBCL section 1715 permits directors to
consider the interests of constituencies other than shareholders (such as
employees, customers and creditors) in making decisions, and provides that
consideration of such interests is not a breach of fiduciary duty.
AlliedSignal, however, has not alleged a breach of fiduciary duty, and
section 1715 is therefore irrelevant to the current issue.

          Moreover, the fact that Pennsylvania has a constituency statute
underscores the importance of protecting the shareholders' fundamental
right to vote for new directors; a right which is nullified by the
nonredemption provision. Indeed, as one of the draftsmen of the PBCL has
observed, constituency statutes such as Pennsylvania's are reconcilable
with principles of corporate governance only because shareholders retain
the ultimate power to "replace corporation-focused directors with those who
focus on current share value." See Steven M.H. Wallman, The Proper
Interpretation of Corporate Constituency Statutes and Formulation of
Director Duties, 21 Stetson L. Rev. 163, 190 (1991) (noting that "[i]f the
shareholders do not agree with how the corporation is run, they are
empowered to replace the directors").

III. THE EXPIRATION OF THE POISON PILL AT THE END OF 1999 DOES NOT
     LEGITIMIZE THE NONREDEMPTION OR NULLIFICATION PROVISIONS
     -------------------------------------------------------------

          AMP argues that the nonredemption and nullification provisions
are not as onerous as AlliedSignal claims because they only preclude tender
offers for fourteen months. The AMP brief notes further that its directors
have passed a resolution providing that they will not adopt a new poison
pill for six months after the current pill expires, and suggests that this
factor makes the nonredemption and nullification provisions more palatable.
AMP's argument ignores at least three key points.

          First, AMP's directors have no right to deny the shareholders
their right to vote even for one day. The fourteen month limit does nothing
to cure this fatal flaw. The AMP board has effectively said to its
shareholders that they are free to vote, but if they vote in favor of a
proposal that is contrary to the position taken by the directors, their
vote will result in exactly the opposite of what it is intended to achieve.
A vote in favor of the Shareholder Rights Proposal which is designed to
effect an amendment to AMP's poison pill would result in the pill becoming
non-amendable by any person; and a vote in favor of director-Nominees who
intend (subject to their fiduciary duties) to provide shareholders with the
opportunity to accept a merger or tender offer proposal worth $44.50 per
share would also result in the pill becoming non-redeemable (and hence
frustrating any change in control transaction until expiration of the
pill).

          Second, the cases AMP relies upon, which uphold "no-shop" or
"lockup" restrictions, are entirely distinguishable from this case.(FN9) As
a preliminary matter, no-shop and lockup provisions only arise when
management of the target company has decided to put the company up for sale
and has entered into an agreement with a prospective buyer. AMP relies most
heavily on the Norfolk Southern decision, in which the trial court refused
to enjoin the enforcement of a 720-day no-shop provision in the merger
agreement between Conrail and CSX. Pursuant to that provision, the Conrail
board agreed to take no action on any other bid that might be made during
the period after the merger agreement was signed but prior to the closing
date or expiration date of the deal. See Norfolk Southern Corp. v. Conrail,
Inc., CA No. 96-7167, 1997 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 978, at *17 (E.D. Pa. Jan. 9,
1997), aff. mem., 111 F.3d 127 (3d Cir. 1997). In relying on that decision,
AMP misses the key differences that distinguish it from the present
situation.

- -------------------
9    A no-shop provision is an agreement by a target company not to solicit
     and/or consider competing bids for (i.e., shop) the company in the
     period after a merger or sale agreement is signed and prior to the
     closing of the merger or sale. A lockup usually takes the form of an
     option granted to the buyer to acquire newly issued stock or certain
     assets of the target company in the event that the merger fails to
     close as a result of certain conditions beyond the control of the
     buyer.

          In Norfolk Southern, the no-shop provision was part of a merger
agreement providing for the acquisition by CSX of all of the outstanding
shares of Conrail, and was insisted upon by CSX. The court concluded that
when parties enter into a merger agreement, "it is expected that the
parties will act in good faith and will not deliberately go out and attempt
to shop the contract, if you will, with some other party or to see if they
can get a better deal after having entered into a valid contract." Id. at
*5. None of these concerns appears here -- AMP is trying to prevent not
preserve a merger.

          Moreover, in Norfolk Southern, CONRAIL'S SHAREHOLDERS WERE TO BE
GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE ON THE PROPOSED DEAL. That is ultimately what
legitimized the no-shop provision. If the shareholders decided, in the
exercise of their franchise, that they agreed with the board's actions in
entering into the merger agreement, then the no-shop could be enforced. But
the board could not override shareholder will and force them to vote in
favor of the merger agreement and, hence, accept the no-shop, as AMP is
attempting to do here. When Conrail's board attempted to interfere with the
shareholder vote, Judge VanArtsdalen issued a preliminary injunction
preventing such action, ruling that a Pennsylvania board of directors may
not "effectively disenfranchise[] those shareholders who may be opposed to
[a] proposal." Norfolk Southern Corp. v. Conrail, Inc. Civ. Act. No.
96-7167 (E.D. Pa. Dec. 17, 1996). (AlliedSignal's Opening Brief, App. Ex.
A-6 at 68).(FN10) Here, the AMP board should not be permitted effectively
to disenfranchise those shareholders who may be opposed to the board's
proposed restructuring plan.

          Finally, AMP's reliance on the limited duration of the poison
pill and the "six month window" following its expiration does not redeem
the otherwise illegal amendments. Indeed, AMP could adopt a new poison pill
in November 1999, or extend its current poison pill beyond its expiration
date. On August 20, 1998, the board adopted a resolution stating that it
would not adopt a new poison pill for six months after the end of the
current pill. This action by a simple resolution may be superseded at any
time by a new resolution of the board. Indeed, the AMP board may feel
compelled to change its mind yet again, and either extend the current pill
or adopt a new one as soon as the current one expires.(FN11)

- -------------------

10   The other cases AMP relies on are also easily distinguishable. In
     Keyser v. Commonwealth National Financial Corporation, 644 F. Supp.
     1130 (M.D. Pa 1986), a breach of fiduciary duty case, the shareholders
     were given the opportunity to approve the merger agreement. Id. at
     1147. Enterra Corp. v. SGS Associates, 600 F. Supp. 678 (E.D. Pa.
     1985), actually supports AlliedSignal's position. In that case, the
     court considered whether a "standstill agreement" between Enterra's
     board and SGS, its largest shareholder, that prevented SGS from
     commencing a tender offer for all of the stock of Enterra was a breach
     of fiduciary duty by Enterra's board. Although the court in Enterra
     recognized that the agreement's voting provisions were not at issue,
     it noted that it would "be inclined to challenge the validity of any
     provision in a standstill agreement requiring the shareholder to vote
     with management on any material matter." Id. at 688.

11    AMP has changed its mind about poison pills before and could do so
      again.  In March, 1989, in connection with its reincorporation of AMP
      in Pennsylvania, the AMP board stated that it had no intention of
      adopting a poison pill.  1989 Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy
      Statement ("1989 AMP Proxy Statement") at 30, attached as Exhibit B to
      AlliedSignal's Supplemental Brief.  Six months later, in October, 1989,
      AMP adopted its current poison pill.  Since then, it has amended its
      poison pill at least four times.


IV.  AMP'S FIXING OF NOVEMBER 16 AS THE RECORD DATE FOR THE SHAREHOLDER
     RIGHTS PROPOSAL IS ILLEGAL AND INEQUITABLE
     ------------------------------------------------------------------

          On September 14, 1998, in response to AMP's enactment of the
nonredemption provision, AlliedSignal amended its consent solicitation to
add the Shareholder Rights Proposal. AlliedSignal also asked AMP to confirm
or set an October 15, 1998 "record date" -- the date on which the
shareholders who are entitled to vote would be determined -- for the
amended consent solicitation. AlliedSignal requested October 15 because
that is the date AMP's board had previously set for AlliedSignal's consent
solicitation. Third Am. Compl. paragraph 69. Instead, on September 22,
1998, AMP's board fixed November 16, 1998 as the record date for consents
to the Shareholder Rights Proposal. Id. paragraph 71. No explanation or
justification was given for that action.

          One of the primary advantages of action by written consent
pursuant to section 2524 of the PBCL is to permit shareholders to take
action without the delay often entailed by waiting for a shareholder
meeting to be scheduled and convened (especially given the ability of
entrenched management to refuse to convene a special meeting and
shareholders' inability to call a special meeting themselves).(FN12) The
November 16 record date is over TWO MONTHS after AlliedSignal notified AMP
and publicly announced its amendment of the consent solicitation to include
the Shareholder Rights Proposal. The board has not even attempted to
proffer a justification for imposing such extreme delay on the
shareholders' statutory right to take "immediate" action by consent.(FN13)
See PBCL 2524(b). Delay past October 15 is a fundamentally unfair
manipulation of the voting process both because of the sheer length of the
delay and because it requires separate record dates, and in effect
completely separate consent solicitations, for AlliedSignal's Nominee
Election Proposals and the Shareholder Rights Proposal.(FN14)

- -------------------

12   Section 2524 of the PBCL provides that action "may be authorized by
     the shareholders of a registered corporation without a meeting by less
     than unanimous written consent . . . if permitted by [the
     corporation's] articles." Article IX of AMP's Articles expressly
     authorizes shareholder action by non-unanimous written consent.

13   This is not the first time AMP has manipulated the consent
     solicitation process by delaying the record date. On August 21, the
     AMP board fixed the initial record date as October 15, 45 days after
     the date AlliedSignal had requested, August 31. The board's stated
     grounds for selecting October 15 were (a) to ensure that "adequate
     information is available" to AMP's shareholders, and (b) to give AMP
     "sufficient time to comply with the broker search card requirements of
     Rule 14a-13 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended."
     Third Am. Compl. paragraph 61. Neither of those justifications
     warranted putting off the record date until October 15. There will
     have been more than enough time for the shareholders to become
     familiar with the issues, and more than enough time for the AMP board
     to secure SEC clearance for consent revocation materials that address
     the Shareholder Rights Proposal as well as the board election
     proposals.

14   As the framers of the PBCL noted in a similar context, "abuses of the
     record date procedure . . . will be dealt with under the fraud and
     fundamental unfairness test." 15 Pa. Cons. Stat. section 1763,
     Historical and Statutory Notes: Amended Committee Comment -- 1990.
     Failure to select a record date that is reasonably prompt under the
     circumstances constitutes precisely such fraud and fundamental
     unfairness. See Norfolk Southern Corp. v. Conrail, Inc., Civ. Act. No.
     96-7167 (E.D. Pa. Dec. 17, 1996) (enjoining company under fundamental
     unfairness test from delaying, adjourning, or refusing to convene
     special meeting of shareholders) (App. Ex. A-6 at 65, 68-70); Danaher
     v. Chicago Pneumatic Tool Co., Nos. 86 Civ. 3499, 86 Civ. 3638, 1986
     WL 7001, at *15 (S.D.N.Y. June 19, 1986) (granting injunction against
     entrenched board which sought to delay shareholder action by written
     consent by refusing to set a record date).

          The Shareholder Rights Proposal has the same objective and effect
as the Nominee Election Proposals AlliedSignal presented in August -- to
make it possible for AMP's poison pill to be redeemed and/or amended so
that AMP's shareholders are free to accept or reject AlliedSignal's tender
offer and merger proposals on their merits.(FN15) Similarly, the crucial
issues about the future of AMP and the performance of its current board
that underlie the Shareholder Rights Proposal were not novel on September
14. They are the same issues that underlie the Nominee Election Proposals
about which the shareholders have been educating themselves since early
August.

- -------------------

15    Moreover, the Shareholder Rights Proposal was only made in response to
      the AMP board's addition of the nonredemption provision.  The AMP board
      itself created the necessity for the Shareholder Rights Proposal, it
      cannot now seize on its own maneuvering as a pretext for further
      delay.  Since AlliedSignal had already requested a record date for its
      consent solicitation and the AMP board had already fixed it as October
      15, that record date should cover the Shareholder Rights Proposal as
      well.


IV. CONCLUSION ---------- AMP's directors, like AMP's shareholders, are entitled to the process provided for by Pennsylvania law. That process provides for shareholder participation in the critical decisions embodied in AlliedSignal's consent solicitation proposals. While AMP's directors have considerable latitude in managing AMP, they cannot suspend authorized shareholder rights in order to dictate a specific result. Both AMP's board and AlliedSignal have to abide by the decisions that the shareholders make with respect to the proposals now before them. UNDER PENNSYLVANIA LAW, THE SHAREHOLDERS MUST RECEIVE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO DECIDE. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Alexander R. Sussman ----------------------------- Alexander R. Sussman Barry G.

                    VERIFIED THIRD AMENDED COMPLAINT FOR
                     DECLARATORY AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
                     ---------------------------------

          Plaintiff AlliedSignal Inc. ("AlliedSignal"), by its undersigned
attorneys, as and for its Verified Third Amended Complaint, alleges upon
knowledge with respect to itself and its own acts, and upon information and
belief as to all other matters, as follows:

                            Nature of the Action
                            --------------------

          1. This action arises out of AMP Incorporated's ("AMP's") illegal
attempt to thwart the fundamental right of AMP shareholders -- including
AlliedSignal -- to vote to change the leadership and direction of AMP, the
corporation they own.

          2. In contravention of Pennsylvania and federal law, and its own
governing articles of incorporation ("Articles") and bylaws ("Bylaws"), AMP
has attempted to nullify the shareholder voting process by taking actions
to delay and interfere with the ability of AMP's shareholders to cast a
meaningful vote in AlliedSignal's current consent solicitation and to
accept the benefits of the tender offer and merger proposed by
AlliedSignal.

          3. In particular, in response to AlliedSignal's consent
solicitation, AMP has twice amended its defensive shareholder rights plan,
or "poison pill," to create a new form of poison pill with
anti-shareholder-vote provisions that would effect a fundamental change in
corporate governance in the midst of a takeover contest.

          4. First, AMP amended the poison pill to deprive AMP shareholders
of a voice in important economic decisions by (a) making any merger or
tender offer that is not approved by AMP's current board of directors
("board") impossible to complete, even if supported by a majority of
shareholders, and (b) preventing any directors -- old or newly elected to
AMP's board by the shareholders -- from redeeming the poison pill once a
new majority of directors is elected to the board (the "nonredemption
provision").

          5. Following AMP's amendment of its poison pill, AMP shareholders
holding 72% of AMP's outstanding shares tendered into AlliedSignal's
original premium cash tender offer for all AMP shares.

          6. In order to effectuate the will of AMP's shareholders,
AlliedSignal announced an additional bylaw proposal, authorized under AMP's
Articles and Pennsylvania law, to permit AMP shareholders to vote on
whether to exercise their right to control the poison pill (the
"shareholder rights proposal"). AlliedSignal also amended its tender offer
to permit AMP shareholders to tender up to 40 million shares at $44.50 cash
per share for a total of $1.8 billion, if they chose, an amount which
AlliedSignal could purchase without triggering AMP's then 20%-trigger
poison pill.

          7. In defiance of the landslide 72% vote against them, AMP's
directors again changed its corporate rules in midstream, amending the
poison pill to further disenfranchise AMP shareholders. That amendment
seeks to nullify any shareholder vote in favor of AlliedSignal's
shareholder rights proposal by an illegal attempt to repeal Article VII of
AMP's Articles and PBCL Section 1721 by board fiat. The amendment provides,
in effect, that the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of AMP's
shares in favor of the shareholder rights proposal will cause the poison
pill to become nonredeemable and nonamendable, thus voiding the very
purpose of the shareholder rights proposal (the "nullification provision").
AMP's board has also attempted to delay the consent solicitation on the
shareholder rights proposal by purporting to fix November 16 as the consent
record date, when October 15 had already been fixed as the record date for
AlliedSignal's planned consent solicitation.

          8. At the same time, reflecting its utter disdain for its
shareholders' rights and interests, AMP's board also amended the poison
pill trigger from 20% to 10% of the outstanding shares. The effect of that
amendment was to reduce the number of shares which AlliedSignal could
purchase under its amended offer from 40 million to 20 million. That
amendment left AlliedSignal with no choice but to offer to purchase only 20
million AMP shares, thus depriving AMP shareholders of the opportunity to
obtain approximately $900 million for the other 20 million shares for which
AlliedSignal had tendered.

          9. In order to protect the fundamental voting and corporate
governance rights of AMP's shareholders, AlliedSignal seeks relief: (a)
invalidating the nonredemption provision and the nullification provision of
AMP's poison pill; (b) declaring that October 15, 1998 is the record date
for AlliedSignal's consent solicitation, including the shareholder rights
proposal or, in the alternative, ordering AMP's board to fix October 15,
1998 as the consent record date for that proposal; and (c) preventing AMP
from manipulating the corporate machinery or taking other steps to delay
and obstruct the consent solicitation.

                                  Parties
                                  -------

          10. Plaintiff AlliedSignal is a Delaware corporation with its
principal executive offices in Morristown, New Jersey. AlliedSignal is an
advanced technology and manufacturing company with worldwide operations in
the aerospace, automotive and engineered materials businesses. AlliedSignal
is the beneficial and record owner of 100 shares of AMP common stock.

          11. Defendant AMP is a Pennsylvania corporation with its
principal executive offices in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. AMP designs,
manufactures and markets electronic, electrical and electro-optic
connection devices, interconnection systems and connector-intensive
assemblies.

                           Jurisdiction and Venue
                           ----------------------

          12. This Court has jurisdiction over this action pursuant to 28
U.S.C. ss.ss. 1331, 1332 and 1367. The amount in controversy is in excess
of $75,000.

          13. Venue is proper in this District under 28 U.S.C. ss. 1391 (b)
and (c). 

                       AlliedSignal and its Proposal
                       -----------------------------

          14. AlliedSignal wishes to acquire AMP because it believes that a
business combination with AMP will provide an attractive business
opportunity for both AlliedSignal and AMP.

          15. Accordingly, after AMP rejected Allied Signal's overtures for
a negotiated transaction, on August 4, 1998, AlliedSignal announced that it
would commence a tender offer for all of the outstanding shares of the
common stock of defendant AMP at $44.50 in cash per share (the "Tender
Offer"), pursuant to federal securities laws. AlliedSignal's proposed
$44.50 tender offer price represented a premium of more than 55% over the
trading price of AMP common stock immediately prior to the announcement of
the Tender Offer. AlliedSignal would acquire, through a second-step merger
for the same $44.50 per share in cash (the "Merger"), any shares of AMP
that are not tendered.

          16. AlliedSignal's Tender Offer gives AMP shareholders the
opportunity to accept it if they determine that it is in their best
interests as the owners of AMP, and, alternatively, to reject the Tender
Offer if they do not believe it is in their best interests.

          17. AlliedSignal believes that a combined company under
AlliedSignal's strong management will permit AlliedSignal to offer a
broader range of products to a more diverse customer base in a wider
variety of markets than either company could achieve alone. Lawrence
Bossidy, AlliedSignal's chief executive officer since 1991, is a highly
respected corporate manager who, together with his management team, has
produced an almost fourfold increase in AlliedSignal's stock price since
1991. Mr. Bossidy was named "Chief Executive of the Year" in Chief
Executive magazine's July/August, 1998 issue, and Fortune magazine recently
named AlliedSignal, under Mr. Bossidy's leadership, to its lists of the
"Most Admired Companies" and "100 Best Companies To Work For." AlliedSignal
believes that Mr. Bossidy would provide similarly strong leadership to a
combined company.

          18. For all of AMP's shareholders, a transaction with
AlliedSignal will provide the opportunity to be rewarded today for the
future value AlliedSignal believes it can create if it merges with AMP.

          19. As of midnight on September 11, 1998, the expiration date for
the Tender Offer, shareholders owning approximately 157 million shares of
AMP common stock, or approximately 72% of AMP's total outstanding shares,
had tendered their shares to AlliedSignal. These figures are exceptionally
high for a hostile tender offer for the shares of a publicly held company,
particularly considering AMP's intense opposition and the short time frame.
The 72% tender response expressed the will of AMP shareholders and
demonstrated their overwhelming support to have a choice whether to tender
and to vote on the proposed Merger.

          20. On September 14, 1998, AlliedSignal amended the Tender Offer
(the "Amended Offer") to permit it to acquire for $44.50 per share in cash
40 million AMP shares, approximately the number of shares it could acquire
without triggering AMP's poison pill.

          21. In response to the Amended Offer, on September 18, 1998 AMP
amended its poison pill by lowering the percentage of shares necessary to
trigger the poison pill from 20% to 10%. As a result, on that day,
AlliedSignal announced a revision of its Amended Offer under which
AlliedSignal would acquire for $44.50 per share in cash only 20 million AMP
shares, approximately the number of shares AlliedSignal can acquire without
exceeding the 10% trigger, instead of 40 million shares as originally
planned. Following completion of the Amended Offer, AlliedSignal intends to
proceed with a new tender offer for all remaining AMP shares outstanding at
the $44.50 per share cash price, with the intention of then consummating
the proposed Merger.

           The Shareholder Franchise and Limitations on Directors
           ------------------------------------------------------

          22. Pennsylvania statutory law and AMP's Articles and Bylaws
explicitly vest in AMP's shareholders, not AMP's board, the ultimate
authority to decide whether to accept AlliedSignal's offer and whether to
approve the proposed Merger with AlliedSignal. Moreover, federal law
mandates disclosure so that shareholders can make an informed choice. Thus,
corporate governance rules under Pennsylvania law and the federal
securities laws together are designed to let informed shareholders decide
the future of the corporations they own.

          23. Shareholder voting rights are fundamental under Pennsylvania
law. Pennsylvania's Business Corporations Law ("PBCL") Section 1758(a)
provides in pertinent part that "every shareholder of a business
corporation shall be entitled to one vote for every share standing in his
name on the books of the corporation."

          24. Section 1.10(a) of AMP's Bylaws similarly provides that each
shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each outstanding share of
AMP.

          25. Pennsylvania statutory law sanctifies a shareholder's right
to vote because, ultimately, the shareholders, as the corporation's owners,
have the right and ability to direct the actions of the corporation through
that vote. PBCL Section 1757(a), for example, provides that, "[e]xcept as
otherwise provided in [the PBCL] or in a bylaw adopted by the shareholders,
whenever any corporate action is to be taken by vote of the shareholders of
a business corporation, it shall be authorized upon receiving the
affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by all shareholders
entitled to vote thereon. . . ." Section 1.10(b) of AMP's Bylaws embodies
this majority-vote principle.

          26. The PBCL is structured to recognize and effectuate
Pennsylvania's underlying goal of preserving for shareholders the ultimate
authority to control the affairs of the corporations they own. For example,
PBCL Section 1521(c) provides that shareholders may adopt bylaws setting
forth "provisions regulating or restricting the exercise of corporate
powers."

          27. Shareholders of Pennsylvania corporations are also entitled
to use their voting power to effect corporate action by written consent.
PBCL Section 2524(a) provides that, if a registered corporation's articles
of incorporation permit it, corporate "action may be authorized by the
shareholders [of such corporation] without a meeting by less than unanimous
written consent."

          28. Under PBCL Sections 1504(c), 1766(b) and 2524(a), if
permitted by a corporation's articles or bylaws, the corporation's
shareholders may take "any action" permitted to be taken at a shareholders'
meeting "upon the written consent of shareholders who would have been
entitled to cast the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to
authorize the action at a meeting at which all shareholders entitled to
vote thereon were present and voting." PBCL ss. 1766(b).

          29. Article IX of AMP's Articles authorizes shareholder action by
written consent. When AMP changed its state of incorporation in 1989 from
New Jersey to Pennsylvania, the AMP board in its proxy statement assured
shareholders that the new Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws would
"continue provisions presently applicable to the Corporation under New
Jersey law" and noted that the new Pennsylvania Articles of Incorporation
specifically preserved the right given AMP's shareholders under New Jersey
law to act by written consent through a consent solicitation.

          30. One of the most basic rights held by shareholders is the
right to elect a corporation's directors. PBCL Section 1725 and Section
1.11 of AMP's bylaws vest the right to elect directors in AMP's
shareholders.

          31. The directors serve and execute their powers pursuant to the
will of the shareholders. PBCL Section 1721 provides that "a bylaw adopted
by the shareholders" can modify, limit, or even eliminate the authority of
a board of directors to exercise corporate powers.

          32. Article VII of AMP's Articles explicitly provides that:
"Except as otherwise provided . . . by By-Laws . . . , all corporate powers
may be exercised by the Board of Directors. . . ."

          33. The federal securities laws, by providing for informed voting
and tendering decisions by shareholders, also recognize that shareholders
have the ultimate choice in contests for corporate control and in deciding
whether to accept or reject proposed corporate transactions.

          34. All these state and federal laws are designed to give
shareholders the right to make an informed decision concerning the future
of the corporations which they own, in an environment of full disclosure.

                AMP's Efforts to Frustrate Shareholder Will
                -------------------------------------------

          35. Despite Pennsylvania's clear mandate in favor of shareholder
choice and corporate flexibility, and the policies underlying the federal
securities laws, AMP has taken illegal and manipulative actions designed to
frustrate the will of its shareholders.

          36. First and foremost, AMP has a shareholder rights plan
(embodied in a Rights Agreement), commonly known as a "poison pill," which
was adopted by the AMP board in 1989 without shareholder approval. On
August 20, 1998, AMP amended that poison pill in response to AlliedSignal's
offer and consent solicitation and, again on September 18, 1998, amended
the poison pill (as amended, the "Poison Pill") in response to
AlliedSignal's shareholder rights proposal and the Amended Offer. AMP's
Poison Pill, if enforceable, makes it economically prohibitive to acquire
control of AMP in a transaction opposed by the current AMP board, even if
the requisite majority of AMP shareholders and a majority of a future board
favor the acquisition. The Poison Pill thus effectively frustrates and
prevents an effort by AlliedSignal or any other hostile bidder to place
into office a new majority of directors supported by the requisite majority
of AMP shareholders.

          37. AMP's Poison Pill is designed to work as follows: In the
event that any person acquires more than 10% (as amended on September 18,
1998, to reduce the original 20% threshold) of AMP's stock, all other AMP
shareholders have the right to buy additional shares at half-price, causing
a massive dilution of the value of the holdings of the unwanted acquirer
(the "Flip-In Provision"). In addition, if AMP subsequently is acquired in
a merger, all AMP shareholders other than the acquiring corporation have
the right to buy shares of the acquiring corporation at a bargain price,
subjecting that corporation to a massive discount sale of its own stock
(the "Flip-Over Provision").

          38. One function of a poison pill is to furnish a board of
directors with bargaining power to negotiate with a prospective acquirer.
To facilitate those negotiations, a board typically retains the right to
"redeem" -- or eliminate the effect of -- a poison pill, by paying rights
holders a nominal value. This permits directors on a continuing and
case-by-case basis to evaluate corporate opportunities according to their
fiduciary duties.

          39. In most poison pills, a change in the composition of a
corporation's board, standing by itself, has no effect on a poison pill.
This feature protects shareholder democracy while giving any board --
whether long-incumbent or newly elected --maximum flexibility to accept a
transaction that is in the best interests of the corporation. Indeed, a
critical aspect of the judicial acceptance of poison pills has been the
basic precept that they would not inhibit proxy contests, including those
involving a change of control of a company.

          40. Until August 20, 1998, AMP's poison pill contained a
particularly draconian feature not typically found in poison pills -- a
so-called "Dead Hand" provision. Under the Dead Hand provision, if there
were a change in a majority of AMP's directors, the poison pill would have
been redeemable only by a majority of the "continuing directors" -- i.e.,
the present directors of AMP or their hand-picked successors. The Dead Hand
provision thus eliminated the authority of new directors, who would have
been elected by a majority of shareholders, to redeem the poison pill. For
these very reasons, comparable Dead Hand provisions have been held illegal
under the corporate law of Delaware and New York.

          41. In order to avoid the impact of AMP's Dead Hand Poison Pill,
AlliedSignal commenced a consent solicitation to obtain the consent of
AMP's shareholders for certain proposals.

          42. On August 12, 1998, AlliedSignal filed a preliminary consent
statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), publicly
disclosing the precise terms of proposals upon which AlliedSignal intended
to seek shareholder approval.

          43. AlliedSignal's initial consent proposals provided AMP's
shareholders with the opportunity to elect to AMP's board AlliedSignal
nominees who, subject to their fiduciary duties, would support a business
combination with AlliedSignal. These new directors could have persuaded a
majority of AMP's continuing directors that the merits of AlliedSignal's
offer and Merger proposal warranted redemption of the Dead Hand poison
pill.

             The "Nonredemption" Amendment of AMP's Poison Pill
             --------------------------------------------------

          44. In light of AlliedSignal's offer and consent solicitation,
the AMP board concluded that its Dead Hand poison pill might not prove
draconian enough to thwart the will of its shareholders. On August 20,
1998, AMP therefore amended its poison pill to include an unprecedented,
outrageous and self-destructive feature.

          45. In total disregard of shareholder voting rights generally,
and of the shareholder voting rights contained in its own Articles and
Bylaws, AMP's board amended its Poison Pill by eliminating the Dead Hand
provision and replacing it with the nonredemption provision. This action by
AMP's board made the Poison Pill nonredeemable by any directors, including
"continuing" directors and even disinterested directors, if a new majority
of directors is elected to the board. Once this nonredemption provision is
triggered, no tender offer or merger can be completed until November 6,
1999, the expiration date of the Poison Pill.

          46. The AMP board also changed the poison pill to make it
nonamendable as soon as it becomes nonredeemable, which makes the
nonredemption provision, once triggered, irreversible.

          47. Moreover, the AMP board changed the definition of a
"Qualifying Offer" -- i.e., an offer that, because it is favored by the
board, does not trigger the Poison Pill -- so that once the Poison Pill is
nonredeemable, no offer can be deemed a Qualifying Offer.

          48. Since AlliedSignal's offer and Merger proposal would be of no
effect without, at a minimum, support of the holders of a majority of AMP's
shares, the AMP board could have had no motive to take these actions other
than to strip the AMP shareholders of their right to elect new directors
who would act in the shareholders' interests and, subject to their
fiduciary duties, would support the offer and Merger.

          49. The nonredemption provision purports to prevent newly elected
directors -- whether elected through the consent solicitation or at AMP's
next annual meeting -- from redeeming the Poison Pill, even though that is
the very purpose for their election by the shareholders. This board action
was designed to deny AMP's shareholders the opportunity to decide for
themselves whether to approve a change in control or sale of the
corporation.

          50. The AMP board's nonredemption provision also removes from a
newly constituted board of directors any ability to approve extraordinary
transactions -- such as a merger or sale of assets -- until the Poison Pill
expires, no matter how beneficial those transactions may be to AMP and its
constituents. Unilateral removal of this authority, responsibility and
discretion is an illegal encroachment on the power of the board of
directors as set forth under PBCL Sections 1502(18), 1525, 1712, 1715, and
1721.

                    AlliedSignal's Consent Solicitation
                    -----------------------------------

          51. On September 14, 1998, AlliedSignal amended its consent
solicitation to include a proposal pursuant to PBCL Section 1721 and
Article VII of AMP's Articles (the "shareholder rights proposal") which, if
approved by AMP's shareholders, will remove from AMP's board all powers
with respect to AMP's Rights Agreement, and will vest those powers in a
group of agents (the "Rights Agreement Managing Agents").

          52. The Rights Agreement Managing Agents will cause the Rights
Agreement to be amended to make the Poison Pill inapplicable to (i) any
tender or exchange offer (including AlliedSignal's Tender Offer), if as a
result of completion of the offer, the offeror would own a majority of
outstanding shares of AMP common stock, and (ii) any merger that either
does not require shareholder approval or is approved by the requisite vote
of AMP shareholders.

          53. The shareholder rights proposal affords AMP shareholders an
opportunity to control AMP's Poison Pill in accordance with their own
determination of what is in the best interests of AMP and its shareholders.

                        The Nullification Provision
                        ---------------------------

          54. In response to the shareholder rights proposal and Amended
Offer, on September 18, 1998, AMP again amended the Poison Pill to block
its own shareholders' ability to support AlliedSignal's proposals and to
tender up to 40 millions shares under the Amended Offer.

          55. Under Amendment No. 4 to AMP's Rights Agreement, if holders
of majority of AMP's shares adopt a bylaw limiting the AMP board's powers
regarding the Poison Pill, the Poison Pill immediately would become
nonamendable and nonredeemable (the "nullification provision"). Therefore,
the shareholders' very purpose for adopting such a bylaw -- to hold the
Poison Pill inapplicable to the AlliedSignal offer or any other offer
deemed favorable by holders of a majority of AMP's shares -- would be
entirely undermined.

          56. If AMP's shareholders decide to exercise their right to
control the terms of the Poison Pill, the decision itself will trigger the
very features of the Poison Pill that are repulsive to AMP shareholders.

          57. The effect of the nullification provision is to attempt to
repeal Article VII of AMP's Articles by AMP board fiat without a vote of
AMP shareholders -- in fact, to defeat a vote of AMP shareholders -- and to
attempt to repeal PBCL ss. 1721 by AMP board fiat without a vote of
Pennsylvania lawmakers.

          58. Therefore, the nullification provision is ultra vires and
constitutes yet another attempt by AMP's board to change the rules in
midstream -- to attempt to render meaningless the consent solicitation and
to overrule the lawful exercise by AMP's shareholders of rights
specifically granted to them under the PBCL and AMP's Articles.

            AMP's Other Manipulations of the Corporate Machinery
            ----------------------------------------------------

          59. In addition to the amendments of its Poison Pill, AMP's board
has initiated several other entrenchment maneuvers.

                       AMP's Delay of the Record Date
                       ------------------------------

          60. On August 11, 1998, AlliedSignal formally requested in
writing that AMP fix August 31, 1998 as the record date for the consent
solicitation. On August 21, 1998, the AMP board fixed the record date for
the AlliedSignal consent solicitation, not on August 31, 1998, but
forty-five days later, on October 15, 1998 (the "October 15 Record Date").

          61. The purported grounds for the board's fixing the October 15
Record Date, as publicly stated by the AMP board, were (a) to ensure that
"adequate information is available" to AMP's shareholders, and (b) to give
AMP "sufficient time to comply with the broker search card requirements of
Rule 14a-13 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended" (the
"Search Provision"). Neither of those purported justifications warranted
putting off the record date beyond August 31, let alone delaying it until
October 15.

          62. There was no basis for the AMP board's stated concerns
because the requested August 31 record date was suitable to provide
adequate information to AMP's shareholders. Moreover, the SEC proxy rules,
which govern the consent solicitation, are designed to ensure that AMP's
shareholders would have all material information to make an informed
decision before they gave their written consents. The AMP shareholders will
not be pressured or hurried to make a decision; the decision can be made
whenever they believe themselves properly knowledgeable.

          63. In fact, on August 13, even before the AMP board fixed the
record date, AMP filed with the SEC a preliminary Consent Revocation
Statement, pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, and the
information was publicized and made available to AMP shareholders. That
filing, which was amended on August 26, 1998 (as amended, "the preliminary
Schedule 14A"), was made for the purpose of commencing a solicitation
campaign to obtain consent revocations from AMP shareholders and thereby
seek to block AlliedSignal's consent solicitation.

          64. Similarly, the notice period contemplated by the Search
Provision was effectively satisfied by AlliedSignal's request for the
fixing of an August 31 record date, since the request was made and widely
publicized on August 11, twenty days in advance of AlliedSignal's requested
record date.

          65. AMP's fixing of the October 15 Record Date was arbitrary and
unnecessary for the orderly functioning of the consent process.

          66. Nevertheless, AlliedSignal agreed not to contest the October
15 Record Date in a letter agreement, dated September 4, 1998, which
provided for notice to be given by AMP before it took certain actions.

          67. On September 14, 1998, AlliedSignal gave AMP written notice
of its decision to amend its consent solicitation to include the
shareholder rights proposal as a result of AMP's adoption of the
nonredemption provision.

          68. The amended consent solicitation gave AMP's shareholders a
means to remove the obstacles confronting AlliedSignal's Tender Offer and
proposed Merger despite AMP's adoption of the nonredemption provision.

          69. Because the shareholder rights proposal is an integral part
of AlliedSignal's consent solicitation and was necessitated by the AMP
board's attempt to render the consent solicitation meaningless, the October
15, 1998 record date that was originally fixed for the consent solicitation
applies to the shareholder rights proposal. AlliedSignal noted this fact in
the September 14 notice to AMP, but, in the alternative, AlliedSignal
requested that AMP fix October 15, 1998 as the consent record date for the
shareholder rights proposal.

          70. AlliedSignal noted that the October 15 Record Date provided
AMP shareholders with more than 30 days notice of the amended consent
solicitation and allowed ample time for AMP to comply with all applicable
SEC and New York Stock Exchange rules.

          71. Nevertheless, on September 22, 1998, AMP fixed November 16,
1998 as the record date for AlliedSignal's amended consent solicitation.

                AMP's Frivolous Lawsuit Against AlliedSignal
                --------------------------------------------

          72. On August 21, 1998, AMP filed a complaint against
AlliedSignal, alleging that if "the seventeen AlliedSignal nominees to
AMP's board were elected, they could not fulfill their fiduciary duties
both to AlliedSignal and its shareholders and to AMP" because "the
AlliedSignal officers and directors have already determined that AMP should
be combined with AlliedSignal . . . ." AMP further alleges in its complaint
that "[w]hile committed to this course of action on behalf of AlliedSignal,
the AlliedSignal nominees could not fully and completely discharge their
fiduciary duty to AMP."

          73. AMP'S allegations are specious as a matter of law. First,
Pennsylvania law safeguards the right of shareholders to elect directors of
their own choosing, provided that such directors meet the minimal
qualifications set forth in the PBCL and AMP's Bylaws, as do all of
AlliedSignal's nominees. Nothing in Pennsylvania law or AMP's Articles or
Bylaws remotely suggests that the shareholders' right to elect the
directors of the corporation they own does not apply to the election of a
director nominee who may have an outside interest in a proposed transaction
and/or has publicly taken a position in support of a proposed transaction
prior to the election.

          74. Second, under PBCL Section 1728(a)(2) and section 2.12 of
AMP's Bylaws, "Interested Directors" are clearly permitted to submit a
proposed transaction to shareholders for approval. So long as the
shareholders have the right to decide whether a transaction is in their
best interests, Pennsylvania laws permit its adoption by interested
Directors.

          75. Thus, PBCL Section 1728(a)(2) permits a transaction between
AMP and a second corporation, like AlliedSignal, "in which one or more of
its directors or officers are directors or officers or have a financial or
other interest" (an "Interested Director"), as long as the "material facts
as to [the Interested Director's] relationship or interest and as to the
contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the shareholders
entitled to vote thereon and the contract or transaction is specifically
approved in good faith by vote of those shareholders" (the "Interested
Director Statute"). Section 2.12 of AMP's Bylaws substantially mirrors the
provisions of the interested Director Statute.

          76. Third, unless the merger partner owns 80% or more of the
outstanding AMP shares, any merger must be approved by holders of
two-thirds of the outstanding AMP shares in accordance with Article X of
the AMP charter; this is even greater than the majority vote required under
Section 1924 of the PBCL. Moreover, if a proposed merger is consummated
involving all or part cash consideration, dissenters' rights would be
provided in accordance with Section 1930(a) of the PBCL.

          77. Finally, in any event, there is no basis whatsoever for
suggesting that the nominees, who are persons of outstanding abilities,
experience and integrity, will not conduct themselves in full compliance
with their fiduciary duties to AMP. nor will consideration of any of
AlliedSignal's proposals prevent an AMP director -- new or old -- from
acting in a manner consistent with his or her fiduciary duty.

          78. In a separate claim for relief, AMP alleges in its complaint
that AlliedSignal has violated its disclosure obligations under Section 14
of the Securities Exchange Act and the rules adopted thereunder because
AlliedSignal failed to disclose that its consent solicitation is
(allegedly) unlawful. This disclosure claim is equally frivolous. it is
well-established law that an entity is under no obligation to characterize
its consent solicitation proposals as unlawful. This is particularly true
where, as here, AlliedSignal has fully disclosed the underlying facts
giving rise to the proposals' alleged unlawfulness -- the nominees'
affiliation with AlliedSignal and their position with respect to the Tender
Offer.

                 AMP's Schedule 14D-9 and Public Statements
                 ------------------------------------------

          79. On August 21, 1998, AMP announced that it opposes the Tender
Offer and Merger, and filed with the SEC a Schedule 14D-9, which has since
been amended (the "Schedule 14D-9"), describing the AMP board's opposition
to AlliedSignal's Tender Offer.

          80. AMP's Schedule 14D-9 states that AlliedSignal's Tender Offer
is "not in the best interests of AMP and its relevant constituencies"
because AMP's "current strategic initiatives and business plans offer the
potential for greater benefits for AMP's various constituencies, including
its shareholders." AMP's so-called current restructuring and AMP's
"initiatives" and "business plans," however, are merely the latest
iteration of AMP management's past unsuccessful efforts to improve AMP's
operations -- efforts which have done nothing to improve the value of AMP.
Indeed, AMP acknowledges that, prior to AlliedSignal's announcement of the
Tender Offer, AMP's share price was the lowest it has been in twelve years,
despite the prior announcement of its restructuring plan.

          81. AMP's Schedule 14D-9 also describes the AMP board's "belief
that [AMP's] new management team is well suited to implement the profit
improvement program" it allegedly has instituted. But AMP's purported "new
management" consists of the very same individuals who have attempted,
without success, to improve AMP's operations over the past several years.

          82. AMP apparently has no intention of ceasing its campaign to
keep control of AMP in the hands of current management despite the will of
AMP's shareholders. AMP's Chairman Robert Ripp was reported in a Wall
Street Journal article, dated September 11, 1998, as stating that, even if
75% of AMP's shares are tendered, he still plans to fight AlliedSignal's
offer until AMP's Poison Pill expires in November 1999.

                 AMP's Reduction of the Poison Pill Trigger
                 ------------------------------------------

          83. Despite the overwhelming response to its Tender Offer,
AlliedSignal could only purchase up to 20% of AMP's outstanding shares
without triggering AMP's Poison Pill (as originally adopted). As a result,
AlliedSignal announced that it intended to purchase 40 million AMP shares
pursuant to its Amended Offer.

          84. In response to AlliedSignal's Amended Offer, on September 18,
1998, AMP, in Amendment No. 4 to the Rights Agreement, also amended the
Poison Pill to reduce the trigger percentage from 20% to 10%.

          85. That action by AMP again changed the rules applicable to
AlliedSignal's offer and consent solicitation in derogation of AMP
shareholders' rights, constituted an impermissible manipulation of the
corporate machinery, and violated the Pennsylvania public policy embedded
in the PBCL's antitakeover provisions, which consistently permit offerors
to acquire up to 20% of a company's stock before those provisions become
applicable.

          86. In order to avoid triggering the Poison Pill, AlliedSignal
has been forced to reduce its commitment to purchase, from 40 million
shares to 20 million shares, pursuant to the Amended Offer.

          87. The effect of this latest amendment to AMP's Poison Pill is
to deprive AMP's shareholders of nearly $900 million by preventing them
from tendering 20 million shares to AlliedSignal.

          88. While AMP has admitted that one reason for amending the
Poison Pill was to prevent AlliedSignal from becoming an 18% minority
shareholder, the other primary purpose that the amendment serves is to set
up yet another obstacle in the way of AlliedSignal's offer and consent
solicitation, without regard to the will of AMP's shareholders. Again,
AMP's board changed the rules to prevent stockholder choice.

                          Risk of Irreparable Harm
                          ------------------------

          89. Both the proposed offer and the proposed Merger will afford
enormous benefits to AlliedSignal and AMP shareholders.

          90. Consummating the Merger with AMP will give AlliedSignal an
important new business segment that will complement its current businesses.
AlliedSignal will be irreparably harmed if, because of the AMP board's
actions, it is not permitted to complete its Tender Offer and Merger within
a reasonable period of time.

          91. AMP's conduct effectively disenfranchises AMP's shareholders
by depriving them of the ability to control the affairs of their
corporation and to obtain desired representation on AMP's board.

          92. Through the actions described above, AMP has attempted to
deny shareholders the right to remove the critical obstacle -- the Poison
Pill -- to consummation of the Tender Offer and the proposed Merger by
either electing directors who can remove it or authorizing Rights Agreement
Managing Agents to amend it in a manner that would render it inapplicable
to offers that are supported by holders of a majority of the outstanding
shares. Furthermore, the uncertainties created by AMP's actions in adopting
a nonredeemable poison pill adversely affect the consent process, since
shareholders do not know what actions AlliedSignal may take to implement
the proposed Merger, the timing of the Merger, or whether AlliedSignal
would withdraw the Tender Offer and proposed Merger if the Poison Pill were
not defused. AMP's interference with the shareholder franchise will cause
shareholders irreparable harm.

          93. Moreover, while interference with shareholder voting rights
under ANY circumstances will cause shareholders irreparable harm, the right
to vote in favor of, or against, a fundamental corporate change like
AlliedSignal's Merger proposal, is one of the quintessential issues for
which voting rights are intended to be protected.

          94. The Tender Offer and Merger also provide AMP's shareholders
the opportunity to realize a more than 55% premium for their AMP stock
based on AMP's market price immediately prior to the announcement of the
offer on August 4, 1998. Presumably, AlliedSignal's offer represents an
even greater premium value today in view of the substantial stock market
decline since that date. AMP's shareholders will lose the opportunity
presented by the offer and proposed Merger, if the AMP board is permitted
to frustrate the rights of AMP shareholders.

                           First Claim for Relief
                           ----------------------
        (Declaratory Judgment and Injunctive Relief with Respect to
  Illegal Nonredemption and Nullification Provisions of AMP's Poison Pill)

          95. Plaintiff repeats and realleges the allegations contained in
each of the preceding paragraphs as if fully set forth herein.

          96. The nonredemption provision -- which effectively strips duly
elected directors of the ability to redeem the Poison Pill -- undermines
the mandate embedded in Pennsylvania law, including PBCL Section 1725, that
(a) only those directors validly elected by shareholders are entitled to
manage the corporation; and (b) once directors are elected, they cannot be
prevented from acting to manage the corporation.

          97. By denying the board ANY ability, "following a majority
change of disinterested directors," to redeem the Poison Pill, the
nonredemption provision also violates Section 1.11 of AMP's Bylaws, which
provides for the election of AMP directors by AMP's shareholders, and
Section 2.1 of AMP's Bylaws, which provides that directors duly elected by
the shareholders have the authority to manage AMP's business and affairs.

          98. The nonredemption provision and the nullification provision
both violate PBCL Section 1721. This section requires that, unless
otherwise provided by statute or in a bylaw ADOPTED BY THE SHAREHOLDERS,
all powers vested in a corporation "shall be exercised" by, or at the
direction of, a corporation's directors. One such power expressly vested in
the corporation under PBCL ss. 1502(18), is the power to "accept, reject,
respond to, or take no action in respect of an actual or potential . . .
tender offer." Since the shareholders of AMP have not (as yet) adopted a
bylaw restricting their directors' ability to exercise this power, AMP's
board cannot by itself so limit the discretion of future directors through
adoption of the nonredemption provision. This section also provides that "a
bylaw adopted by the shareholders" can modify, limit, or even eliminate the
authority of a board of directors to exercise corporate powers. The
nullification provision provides that the Poison Pill becomes nonamendable
and nonredeemable immediately upon the adoption of a bylaw attempting to
limit the board's authority, rights and duties with respect to the Poison
Pill. Therefore, because the nullification provision effectively prevents
AMP's shareholders from modifying, limiting or eliminating the authority of
AMP's board with respect to the Poison Pill, the nullification provision
violates PBCL Section 1721.

          99. The nonredemption provision is illegal under PBCL Sections
1525, 1712 and 1715, because it restricts the board from redeeming the
Poison Pill even if that is required or permitted by the board members'
fiduciary duties.

          100. Shareholders have fundamental voting rights that cannot be
contravened by a corporation's board of directors. In an election contest,
the adoption of a nonredeemable poison pill like AMP's is a patently
unreasonable and disproportionate defensive measure, because it is designed
to eradicate the AMP shareholders' rights to receive tender offers and wage
proxy contests and consent solicitations to replace the AMP board. And,
because the nonredemption provision is specifically intended to take effect
when shareholders have voted or consented to a change in control of the
board, it is inherently suspect as an entrenchment mechanism of the current
AMP board and AMP management. Similarly, because the nullification
provision effectively forecloses any possibility for AMP's shareholders to
approve of a business combination without the board's approval, it, too, is
inherently suspect as an entrenchment device.

          101. The nonredemption provision and the nullification provision
thus purposefully interfere with the shareholder voting franchise without
any reasonable justification.

          102. In violating the PBCL and AMP's Bylaws, the adoption of the
nonredemption provision and the nullification provision exceed the powers
granted to the corporation and its directors under PBCL Section 1502. This
act is, therefore, ULTRA VIRES and of no effect.

          103. AMP's adoption of the nonredemption provision and the
nullification provision also constitute fraud and/or fundamental unfairness
on the part of AMP, entitling AlliedSignal to declaratory relief, and to
injunctive relief invalidating the nonredemption provision and the
nullification provision under PBCL Section 1105.

                          Second Claim for Relief
                          -----------------------
                           (Declaratory Judgment
                       for Commerce Clause Violation)

          104. Plaintiff repeats and realleges the allegations contained in
each of the preceding paragraphs as if fully set forth herein.

          105. To the extent that the nonredemption provision, the
nullification provision and other anti-takeover devices that preclude
tender offers and consent solicitations are permitted under Pennsylvania
law, such law is unconstitutional under the Commerce Clause because it
impermissibly burdens interstate commerce far in excess of local benefits.

          106. The nonredemption provision and the nullification provision
render futile the consent solicitation and other contests for corporate
control, because the shareholders will be powerless to elect a board that
is both willing and able to accept an insurgent's bid. If Pennsylvania law
is deemed to permit the nonredemption provision and the nullification
provision, such law gives a Pennsylvania corporation's pre-existing board
of directors a DE FACTO veto power over tender offers and mergers, thwarts
shareholder democracy and the rights of all AMP shareholders located
throughout the United States, and impermissibly burdens interstate
commerce.

          107. To the extent the nonredemption provision and the
nullification provision are permissible under Pennsylvania law, such law
injures and will continue to injure AlliedSignal and all AMP shareholders
because it creates an absolute barrier to the proposed Tender Offer and
Merger, or any other similar transaction proposed by anyone else, even if
the holders of a majority -- or, indeed, all -- of AMP's shares support the
proposed transaction.

                           Third Claim for Relief
                           ----------------------
                           (Declaratory Judgment
                      for Supremacy Clause Violation)

          108. Plaintiff repeats and realleges the allegations contained in
each of the preceding paragraphs as if fully set forth herein.

          109. To the extent that the nonredemption provision, the
nullification provision and other anti-takeover devices that preclude
tender offers and consent solicitations are permitted under Pennsylvania
law, such law is preempted by the federal securities laws and thereby
violates the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution. It
frustrates the purposes and objectives of Congress in enacting the Williams
Act and proxy laws by: (a) giving intransigent management the ability to
defeat a noncoercive proposal without a vote by shareholders; (b)
impermissibly tilting the balance between management and a potential
acquirer in the context of a noncoercive proposal; and (c) creating an
absolute barrier to the right of AMP shareholders to exercise their voting
rights in favor of the proposed Tender Offer and Merger.

          110. To the extent the nonredemption provision and the
nullification provision are permissible under Pennsylvania law, such law
injures and will continue to injure AlliedSignal because it creates an
absolute barrier to the proposed Tender Offer and Merger, or any other
similar transaction proposed by anyone else, even if the holders of a

                          Fourth Claim for Relief
                          -----------------------
                (Declaratory Judgment and Injunctive Relief
 for Record Date Abuse or Other Manipulation of AMP's Corporate Machinery)

          111. Plaintiff repeats and realleges the allegations contained in
each of the preceding paragraphs as if fully set forth herein.

          112. AMP should be enjoined from using the time prior to the
October 15 Record Date to take additional action that has the effect of
interfering with the rights of AMP's shareholders to vote on the consent
solicitation proposals.

          113. In particular, AMP should be enjoined from: (a) amending its
Bylaws or Poison Pill in any way to impede the effective exercise of the
shareholder franchise; or (b) utilizing the delay caused by AMP's fixing of
the October 15 Record Date to interfere with the AMP shareholders' right to
vote on matters presented by AlliedSignal's consent solicitation.

          114. AlliedSignal has no adequate remedy at law.

                           Fifth Claim for Relief
                           ----------------------
                (Declaratory Judgment and Injunctive Relief
             Fixing October 15, 1998 as the Record Date for the
                       Amended Consent Solicitation)

          115. Plaintiff repeats and realleges the allegations contained in
each of the preceding paragraphs as if fully set forth herein.

          116. AMP should not be able to interfere with its shareholders'
right to vote on AlliedSignal's consent solicitation by unlawfully fixing

AlliedSignal's consent solicitation.

          117. This Court should declare October 15, 1998 as the record
date for the amended consent solicitation, including the shareholder rights
proposal or, in the alternative, should order AMP to fix October 15, 1998
as the consent record date for that proposal.

          WHEREFORE, plaintiff respectfully requests that this Court enter
judgment against defendant, as follows:

          A. Declaring pursuant to the Declaratory Judgment Act, 28 U.S.C.
ss. 2201(a) and Fed. R. C. P., Rule 57, that:

                    (a) the nonredemption provision and the nullification
provision are in violation of Pennsylvania law;

                    (b) to the extent Pennsylvania law authorizes the
nonredemption provision and the nullification provision, such law (i)
constitutes an impermissible burden on interstate commerce in violation of
the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution, and (ii) is
preempted by the Williams Act and therefore unconstitutional under the
Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution; and

                    (c) the record date for the amended consent
solicitation, including the shareholder rights proposal, is October 15,
1998.

          B. Enjoining enforcement of the nonredemption provision and the
nullification provision of AMP's Poison Pill.

          C. Preliminarily and permanently enjoining the defendant, its
directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, subsidiaries and
affiliates, and all other persons acting in concert with or on behalf of
the defendant directly or indirectly, from taking any steps to impede or
frustrate the ability of AMP's shareholders to consider or make their own
determination as to whether to accept the terms of AlliedSignal's tender
offers and the proposals in AlliedSignal's consent solicitation, or taking
any other action to manipulate the corporate machinery or thwart or
interfere with AlliedSignal's tender offers or consent solicitation,
including, among other things, (i) amending its bylaws or Rights Agreement
in any way to impede the effective exercise of the shareholder franchise;
(ii) utilizing the delay caused by AMP's fixing of the October 15 Record
Date to interfere with the AMP shareholders' right to vote on matters
presented by AlliedSignal's consent solicitation; or (iii) fixing a consent
record date other than October 15, 1998 for the shareholder rights
proposal.

          D. Granting compensatory damages for all incidental injuries
suffered as a result of defendant's unlawful conduct.

          E. Awarding plaintiff the costs and disbursements of this action,
including attorney's fees.

          F. Granting plaintiff such other and further relief as the court
deems just and proper.

         ALLIEDSIGNAL COMMITS TO MAINTAINING FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR
              THE EMPLOYMENT OF ALL PENNSYLVANIA AMP EMPLOYEES
                           WHO EARN UP TO $50,000


     MORRIS TOWNSHIP, New Jersey, September 27, 1998 - AlliedSignal Inc.
[NYSE: ALD] announced today that if it succeeds in acquiring AMP
Incorporated [NYSE: AMP], it will maintain for at least one year the
employment of all Pennsylvania AMP employees whose annual base wage or
salary is up to $50,000.

     In an open letter to Pennsylvania AMP employees, AlliedSignal said it
was announcing the commitment because it was concerned "by the misleading
impressions you have received from AMP about AlliedSignal's intentions
regarding your job and your benefits."

     AlliedSignal said it has enormous confidence in AMP's work force and
believes that they not only can help build a bigger and stronger AMP but
also can assist AlliedSignal in the other businesses that AlliedSignal
brings to Pennsylvania.

     The commitment covers all AMP Pennsylvania employees earning up to
$50,000 base pay who are active full-time employees today and are still
active full-time employees when AlliedSignal merges with AMP. It will not
cover employees who have received layoff notices from AMP or who have
resigned or elected early retirement at any time before the merger.

     "Our commitment covers the group likely to be hardest hit by AMP's
repeated rounds of layoffs in Pennsylvania, which AMP would need to
continue if its management is serious about meeting its unrealistic profit
estimates."

     AlliedSignal also announced a commitment to all AMP Pennsylvania
employees:

     .    not to reduce their current pay and benefit package;
     .    to honor AMP's current severance plan; and
     .    to provide at least 40 hours of training per year "at our expense 
          and on our time, to help you keep your job skills current and to 
          help you learn new ones."

     AlliedSignal said it was announcing its commitment following
discussions with Pennsylvania House Majority Leader John Perzel and House
Appropriations Committee Chairman John Barley, who expressed concern over
the future of AMP employees and emphasized the importance of growing job
opportunities in Pennsylvania.

     AlliedSignal said it is a "much larger, financially stronger and more
diverse company than AMP. AlliedSignal can give you the opportunity to grow
in your present job and to offer you new opportunities in one of our many
other growing businesses, some of which we will be looking to expand into
Central Pennsylvania. If for some reason there is insufficient work
available, under our Pennsylvania employment commitment you will continue
to be paid and enjoy all current benefits."

     The AlliedSignal message concluded, "Fortune magazine listed
AlliedSignal - but not AMP - as one of the 100 best companies to work for
in America. When you join AlliedSignal, you'll see why."

     AlliedSignal is an advanced technology and manufacturing company
serving customers worldwide with aerospace and automotive products,
chemicals, fibers, plastics and advanced materials. The company employs
70,500 people worldwide. AlliedSignal is a component of the Dow Jones
Industrial Average and Standard and Poor's 500 Index, and it is included in
