contributions with respect to his Deferred Benefit Accounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Excess DCRB Contribution shall be allocated only to the Eligible Employee’s Retirement Account.

In the event a Participant shall allocate a portion of his anticipated contributions to his Retirement Account, he may, during each applicable Enrollment Period, direct tha t portion of his anticipated contributions to (i) a lump sum subaccount or to (ii) one of four installment subaccounts.

A Participant entitled to receive Excess DCRB Contributions shall be permitted to select a Retirement subaccount for such contributions that is different from the Retirement subaccount    selected for other contributions under the Plan. If a Participant entitled to receive an Excess DCRB Contribution has not selected a Retirement subaccount for such contributions, his Excess DCRB Contribution shall be allocated to the Retirement subaccount most recently selected by the Participant prior to the time such Excess DCRB Contribution is made or, if no such Retirement subaccount has been selected, to the lump sum subaccount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if no Retirement subaccount has been selected by the Participant prior to his first Excess DCRB Contribution, the Participant shall be permitted to select a Retirement subaccount for such contribution (and for future Excess DCRB Contributions) at any time during the Enrollment Period ending in the calendar year in which such first Excess DCRB Contribution is made or such other time as may be permitted by the Administrator (but in no event later than December 31 of such calendar year).

Tiffany and Company Executive Deferral Plan
Amended and Restated as of January 19, 2017
18



one for other contributions under the Plan..

Subject to Section 6.1.F below, the lump sum Retirement subaccount will be paid out in a lump sum within ninety (90) days of Retirement, and the installment Retirement subaccount will be paid in five (5), ten (10), fifteen (15) or twenty (20) annual installments, all pursuant to Section 6.1. In the absence of such designation, contributions for that Plan Year will be paid out in a lump sum as aforesaid.

Participants may, by written election made before December 31, 2006, redirect contributions made before the date of such election to Participant’s Retirement Account from the lump sum Retirement subaccount or any of the three installment Retirement subaccounts to the lump sum account or to any of the four installment subaccounts, provided (i) that each Participant shall, at the conclusion of such redirection process, have only one Retirement subaccount; and (ii) that such redirection shall not affect payments the Participant would otherwise receive in calendar year 2005 or 2006.

On and after August 1, 2009, Participants shall have a one-time option during his period of participation in the Plan to redirect, by written election, prior contributions to Participant’s Retirement Account from the lump sum Retirement subaccount or any of the four installment Retirement subaccounts to the lump sum Retirement account or to any of the four installment Retirement subaccounts, provided (i) that each Participant shall, at the conclusion of such redirection process, have only one Retirement subaccount (or two Retirement subaccounts in the case of a Participant who has received Excess DCRB Contributions and has selected a separate Retirement subaccount for such contributions); (ii) that Participant’s Retirement shall occur no earlier than one year after Participant’s written election for redirection is received by the Plan Administrator; and (iii) Participant elects that distributions under the Retirement

Should Participant’s Retirement occur within one year following the date on which the Plan Administrator receives the written election for redirection under this paragraph, such written election shall be deemed null and void and Participant’s prior written election shall apply. A Participant who has received Excess DCRB Contributions and has selected two Retirement subaccounts (one for Excess DCRB Contributions and one for other contributions under the Plan) shall be permitted to make the one-time election described in this paragraph with respect to each such Retirement subaccount, and such elections need not be made at the same time.

B.    Education Subaccounts. In the event a Participant shall allocate a portion of his anticipated contributions to his Education Account, the Participant may further allocate amongst subaccounts on behalf of Eligible Students. Said allocation shall be made in writing prior to the beginning of the Plan Year on Participant’s Deferral Agreement, or such other forms as are required by the Administrator. In the absence of such suballocation, all contributions to the Participant’s Education Account shall be equally allocated among the Participant’s Education subaccounts. A Participant’s election pursuant to Section 4.5 shall apply uniformly to each subaccount. A Participant, in any one Plan Year, may not allocate less than $1,000 (except in Plan Years in which the Participant elects not to defer any portion of his Compensation) to any one Education subaccount.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Education Accounts shall be established effective following the Plan Year ending December 31, 2002, and all Education Accounts in effect as of such date shall be converted to Fixed Period Benefit Accounts or subaccounts by filing a conversion schedule with the Administrator by which benefits payable in respect of each such Education Account and subaccount shall become payable upon a specific Benefit Distribution Date

C.    Fixed Period Benefit Subaccounts. In the event a Participant shall allocate a portion of his anticipated contributions to his Fixed Period Benefit Account, the Participant may further allocate amongst subaccounts differentiated by Benefit Distribution Dates. Said allocation shall be made in writing prior to the beginning of the Plan Year on Participant’s Deferral Agreement, or such other forms as are required by the Administrator, provided that (i) each Participant shall have a one-time option in respect of each of his Benefit Distribution Dates to change such Benefit Distribution Date to a date at least five years subsequent to such original Benefit Distribution Date and (ii) such option is exercised, if at all, at least one year prior to the original Benefit Distribution Date by written notice to the Administrator. In the absence of such suballocation, all contributions to the Participant’s Fixed Period Benefit Account shall be equally allocated among Participant’s subaccounts. A Participant’s election pursuant to Section 4.5 shall apply uniformly to each subaccount. A Participant, in any one Plan Year, may not allocate less than $1,000 (except in Plan Years in which the Participant elects not to defer any portion of his Compensation) to any one Fixed Period subaccount. For elections made prior to November of 2002, a Participant shall not elect a Benefit Distribution Date with respect to the Fixed Period Benefit Account which occurs prior to twenty-four (24) months from the date on which the first contribution to such subaccount is first credited except as provided in Section 4.1 above.

4.4
Irrevocable Benefit Allocation. Once an Eligible Employee has allocated anticipated contributions under the Plan and the Plan Year has begun, he may not modify, alter, amend or revoke said allocations. Notwithstanding, a Participant may, prior to the commencement of a new Plan Year, elect to modify, alter, amend or revoke his future allocations to his Deferred Benefit Accounts (other than allocations of Excess DCRB Contributions) to the extent the Administrator shall provide, effective the first day of such new Plan Year.

4.5
Directed Valuation of Deferred Benefit Accounts. As provided herein, a Participant may direct that his Deferred Benefit Accounts be valued, in accordance with Section 4.7, as if the account was invested in one or more of the Investment Funds listed in Schedule 4.5 attached. The Committee may, from time to time, add additional Investment Funds to Schedule 4.5. A Participant shall submit to the Plan Administrator in writing his investment selection for evaluation purposes. The Participant may select one or more investment funds in multiples of 1%. A Participant may make a separate selection with respect to each Deferred Benefit Account. Investment Fund elections may be made daily. The Committee may designate one or more Investment Funds to be used to value a Participant’s Deferred Benefit Accounts in the event the Participant fails to make an investment selection.

4.6
Administration of Investments. The investment gain or loss with respect to contributions made to the Deferred Benefit Accounts on behalf of a Participant shall continue to be determined in the manner selected by the Participant, pursuant to Section 4.5, until a new designation is filed with the Plan Administrator. If any Participant fails to file a designation, he shall be deemed to have designated the first Investment Fund listed in Schedule 4.5 attached. A designation filed by a Participant changing his Investment Funds shall apply to future contributions and/or amounts already accumulated in his Deferred Benefit Accounts. A Participant may change his investment selection at any time throughout the course of each Plan Year.

Tiffany and Company Executive Deferral Plan

22



Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Administrator retains the discretion to restrict the quantity of investment changes made by a participant in a Plan Year, should that Participant’s investment changes indicate market timing or other abuse.

4.7
Valuation of Deferred Benefit Accounts. The Deferred Benefit Accounts of each Participant shall be valued, on any date prior to complete distribution of all benefits due Participant under this Plan, based upon the performance of the Investment Fund(s) selected by the Participant. Such valuation shall reflect the net asset value expressed per share of the designated Investment Fund(s). The fair market value of an Investment Fund shall be determined by the Administrator. It shall represent the fair market value of all securities or other property held for the respective fund, plus cash and accrued earnings, less accrued expenses and proper charges against the fund. Each Deferred Benefit Account shall be valued separately. A valuation summary shall be prepared on each Determination Date.

4.8
Investment Obligation of the Employer. Benefits are payable as they become due irrespective of any actual investments the Employer may make to meet its obligations. Neither the Employer, nor any trustee (in the event the Employer elects to use a grantor trust to accumulate funds) shall be obligated to purchase or maintain any asset, and any reference to investments or Investment Funds is solely for the purpose of computing the value of benefits. To the extent a Participant or any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Employer under this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured creditor of the Employer.

4.9
Change of Funds. In the event that any of the Investment Funds designated in Schedule 4.5 attached underperforms in comparison to relevant benchmarks, materially changes its investment objectives, adopts a plan of liquidation, ceases to report its net asset values or otherwise ceases to exist, the Employer may amend this Plan by designating new or additional funds for the purposes of Section 4.7 and each

Participant shall redirect the valuation of his or her Deferred Benefit Accounts effective with the date of such amendment.

Amended and Restated as of January 19, 2017

Participant is deceased) shall have the right to elect to challenge such forfeiture through binding arbitration held in New York City, New York under the then existing Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Arbitration proceedings shall be conducted by three arbitrators who shall be authorized to determine whether Cause for termination existed, but solely for the purpose of determining rights to benefits under this Plan. Without limit to their general authority, the arbitrators shall have the right to order reasonable discovery in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The final decision of the arbitrators shall be binding and enforceable without further legal proceedings in court or otherwise, provided that either party to such arbitration may enter judgment upon the award in any court having jurisdiction. The final decision arising from the arbitration shall be accompanied by a written opinion and decision which shall describe the rational underlying the award and shall include findings of fact and conclusions of law. The cost of such arbitration shall initially be borne equally to the parties to such arbitration (which parties shall be limited to the Employer and the Participant (or his Beneficiary)), and each party shall bear its or his own legal fees; however, the arbitrators shall have authority to award the Participant (or his Beneficiary) his or her legal fees and costs if the arbitrators determine that the decision to forfeit any benefit was made in bad faith. As a condition to proceeding with such arbitration the Employer may require the Participant or his Beneficiary to agree, in writing, that the arbitration award will be binding upon the Participant or such Beneficiary, as the case may be, in connection with rights under this Plan, and that the Participant waives any right to proceed through court proceedings. Such award shall be confidential and shall not be binding or admissible in connection with any other proceeding.

In the event that one or more of the provisions contained in this instrument shall for any reason be held unenforceable in any respect under the law of any state of the United States or the United States, then (i) it shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, and (ii) such unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this instrument, but this instrument shall then be construed as if such unenforceable portion(s) had never been contained herein.

(b) In the event of breach or threatened breach by Participant of the provisions set forth in this instrument, Participant acknowledges that Tiffany will be irreparably harmed and that monetary damages (including loss of the Benefit) shall be an insufficient remedy to Tiffany.

Failure of the Board to act within any of the time periods specified in this Section 6 shall be deemed a determination that the Proposed Transaction is not prohibited hereunder. A determination made or deemed made under this Section 6 shall be limited in effect to the Proposed Transaction described in the submitted materials and shall not be binding or constitute a waiver with respect to any other Proposed Transaction, whether proposed by such Participant or any other Person.

Tiffany and Company Executive Deferral Plan
Amended and Restated as of January 19, 2017
47



consulting services to a wide variety clients will not be prohibited hereunder should such firm, at some unspecified time, provide services to a Person in the Retail Jewelry Trade or the Wholesale Jewelry Trade, Participant may seek a determination hereunder; in submitting such a Proposed Transaction, Participant should specify the extent that Participant will be involved in or can be excluded from involvement in the provision of such services. In making any determination under this Section 6, the Board shall not be deemed to be acting as a fiduciary with respect to Participant or any beneficiary of Participant and shall be under no obligation to issue a determination that any Proposed Transaction is not prohibited hereunder. If Participant is a Senior Officer at the time any determination under this Section 6 is requested, such a request shall be directed to the Committee, and actions and determinations described in this Section 6 shall be conducted by such Committee.

7.      Arbitration and Equitable Relief .      Participant and Tiffany agree that any and all disputes arising out or relating to the interpretation or application of this instrument, including any dispute concerning whether any conduct is in violation of Section 2 or 3, shall be subject to arbitration under the then existing Employment Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.

Unless the parties agree otherwise, the location of the arbitration proceedings will be no more than 45 miles from the last principal place of Participant’s employment with Tiffany; however, if Participant’s last principal place of employment was outside the U.S., then the location will be New York, New York. Without limit to the arbitrator’s general authority, the arbitrator shall have the right to order reasonable discovery and decide dispositive motions. The final decision of the arbitrators shall be binding and enforceable without further legal proceedings in court or otherwise, provided that either party to such arbitration may enter judgment upon the award in any court having jurisdiction. The final decision arising from the arbitration shall be accompanied by a written opinion and decision which shall state the essential findings of fact and conclusions of law. The cost of the arbitrator and the arbitration shall be borne by Tiffany, but each party to the arbitration shall bear its own attorney’s fees. Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 7, the requirement to arbitrate disputes shall not apply to any action to enforce this instrument by means of temporary or permanent injunction or other appropriate equitable relief, in which case the parties expressly consent to such a dispute being brought in a court of law with competent jurisdiction.

8.      Miscellaneous Provisions .

WHEREAS, Tiffany and Company further revised this plan effective January 12, 2009 to extend the Election Period for participation in Pension-Plus from January 12, 2009 to January 19, 2009; and

WHEREAS, Tiffany and Company further revised this plan effective October 31, 2011 to clarify opportunities for the commencement of benefits for Participants who ceased

provisions giving rise to the denial; (iii) describe any further information or documentation necessary for the claim to be honored and explain why such documentation or information is necessary; and (iv) explain this Plan's review procedure.

5.      Enforcement .

(a) Participant agrees that the restrictions set forth in this instrument are reasonable and necessary to protect the goodwill and other legitimate business interests of Tiffany. If any of the provisions set forth herein is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable based upon duration, geographic scope or otherwise, Participant agrees that such provision shall nonetheless remain valid and fully effective, but will be considered modified to make it enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. In the event that one or more of the provisions contained in this instrument shall for any reason be held unenforceable in any respect under the law of any state of the United States or the United States, then (i) it shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, and (ii) such unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this instrument, but this instrument shall then be construed as if such unenforceable portion(s) had never been contained herein.

(b) In the event of breach or threatened breach by Participant of the provisions set forth in this instrument, Participant acknowledges that Tiffany will be irreparably harmed and that monetary damages (including loss of the Benefit) shall be an insufficient remedy to Tiffany.

6.      Procedure to Obtain Determination . Should Participant wish to obtain a determination that any proposed employment, disclosure, activity, arrangement or association (each a “Proposed Transaction”) is not prohibited hereunder, Participant shall direct a written request to the Board. Such request shall fully describe the Proposed Transaction. Within 30 days after receipt of such request, the Board may (a) issue such a determination in writing, (b) issue its refusal of such request in writing, or (c) issue a written request for more written information concerning the Proposed Transaction. In the event that alternative (c) is elected (which election may be made on behalf of the Board by the Legal Department of Tiffany without action by the Board), any action on Participant’s request will be deferred for ten (10) days following receipt by said Legal

2004 Tiffany And Company

Limits, Amended and Restated as of January 19, 2017
 
27




Department of the written information requested. Failure of the Board to act within any of the time periods specified in this Section 6 shall be deemed a determination that the Proposed Transaction is not prohibited hereunder. A determination made or deemed made under this Section 6 shall be limited in effect to the Proposed Transaction described in the submitted materials and shall not be binding or constitute a waiver with respect to any other Proposed Transaction, whether proposed by such Participant or any other Person. In the event that Participant wishes to seek a determination that employment with a management consulting firm, an accounting firm, a law firm or some other provider of consulting services to a wide variety clients will not be prohibited hereunder should such firm, at some unspecified time, provide services to a Person in the Retail Jewelry Trade or the Wholesale Jewelry Trade, Participant may seek a determination hereunder; in submitting such a Proposed Transaction, Participant should specify the extent that Participant will be involved in or can be excluded from involvement in the provision of such services. In making any determination under this Section 6, the Board shall not be deemed to be acting as a fiduciary with respect to Participant or any beneficiary of Participant and shall be under no obligation to issue a determination that any Proposed Transaction is not prohibited hereunder. If Participant is a Senior Officer at the time any determination under this Section 6 is requested, such a request shall be directed to the Committee, and actions and determinations described in this Section 6 shall be conducted by such Committee.

7.      Arbitration and Equitable Relief .      Participant and Tiffany agree that any and all disputes arising out or relating to the interpretation or application of this instrument, including any dispute concerning whether any conduct is in violation of Section 2 or 3, shall be subject to arbitration under the then existing Employment Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Arbitration proceedings shall be conducted by one arbitrator mutually selected by Participant and Tiffany or, if the parties are unable to agree, the default selection procedure of such Rules. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the location of the arbitration proceedings will be no more than 45 miles from the last principal place of Participant’s employment with Tiffany; however, if Participant’s last principal place of employment was outside the U.S., then the location will be New York, New York. Without limit to the arbitrator’s general authority, the arbitrator shall have the right to order reasonable discovery and decide dispositive motions. The final decision of the arbitrators shall be binding and enforceable without further legal proceedings in court or otherwise, provided that either party to such arbitration may enter judgment upon the award in any court having jurisdiction. The final decision arising from the arbitration shall be accompanied by a written opinion and decision which shall state the essential findings of fact and conclusions of law. The cost of the arbitrator and the arbitration shall be borne by Tiffany, but each party to the arbitration shall bear its own attorney’s fees. Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 7, the requirement to arbitrate disputes shall not apply to any action to enforce this instrument by means of temporary or permanent injunction or other appropriate equitable relief, in which case the parties expressly consent to such a dispute being brought in a court of law with competent jurisdiction.

Exhibit 10.36


Tiffany & Co.
(a Delaware corporation)

Corporate Governance Principles

(as adopted by the full Board of Directors on January 15, 2004 and last amended on January 19, 2017)

1.
Director Qualification Standards ; Size of the Board; Audit Committee Service; Director Nominations and Resignations .

a.     At least a majority of the directors shall meet the independence requirements set forth in Section 303A.02 of the New York Stock Exchange Corporate Governance Rules. A director shall not be deemed to have met such independence requirements unless the Board has affirmatively determined that it be so. In making its determination of independence, the Board shall broadly consider all relevant facts and circumstances and assess the materiality of each director’s relationship(s) with the Corporation and/or its subsidiaries (directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of any organization that has a relationship with the Corporation). Further, in making its determination of independence for any director who will serve on the Compensation Committee, the Board shall also consider all factors specifically relevant to determining whether each such director has a relationship to the Corporation that is material to his or her ability to be independent from management in connection with the duties of a Compensation Committee member, including, but not limited to, the requirements set forth in Section 303A.02(a)(ii) of the New York Stock Exchange Corporate Governance Rules. If a director is determined by the Board to be independent, all relationships, if any, that such director has with the Corporation and/or its subsidiaries which were determined by the Board to be immaterial to independence shall be disclosed in the Corporation’s annual proxy statement.

b.    A director shall be younger than age 74 when elected or appointed and a director shall not be recommended for re-election by the stockholders if such director will be age 74 or older on the date of the annual meeting or other election in question, provided that the Board of Directors may, by specific resolution, waive the provisions of this sentence with respect to an individual director whose continued service is deemed uniquely important to the Corporation.

c.    A director need not be a stockholder to qualify as a director, but shall be encouraged to hold stock in the Corporation by virtue of its policies with respect to stock ownership by directors.

d.    Consistent with 1.a. above, candidates for director shall be selected on the basis of their business experience, expertise and skills, with a view to supplementing the business experience, expertise and skills of management and adding further substance and insight into board discussions and oversight of management. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for developing, and recommending to the Board, criteria for the selection of new directors, for identifying individuals qualified to become directors, and for recommending to the Board director nominees for the next annual meeting of the stockholders. In connection with such recommendation, the Nominating/Corporate

Governance Committee will specifically consider each then current director’s continued service on the Board and whether each such director should be recommended for re-nomination to the Board. Each then current director will be given an opportunity to confirm his or her desire to continue as a member of the Board.

e.    From time to time, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee will recommend to the Board the optimal number of directors constituting the entire Board. Based upon that recommendation, the current nature and scope of the Corporation’s business, and the experience, expertise and skills of the existing roster of directors, the Board believes that ten directors is an appropriate number at this time.

f.    The Board shall be responsible for determining whether each member of the Audit Committee is financially literate and confirming that at least one member of the Audit Committee has accounting or related financial management expertise, in each case as set forth in Section 303A.07 of the New York Stock Exchange Corporate Governance Rules. The Board shall further have responsibility for determining the qualification of an individual to serve on the Audit Committee as a designated “ audit committee financial expert ,” as required by the applicable rules of the SEC under Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In addition, to serve on the Audit Committee, a director must meet the standards for independence set forth in Section 301 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. To those ends, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee will coordinate with the Board in screening any new candidate to serve on the Audit Committee and in evaluating whether to re-nominate any existing director who may serve on the Audit Committee. If an Audit Committee member simultaneously serves on the audit committees of more than three public companies, then, in the case of each such Audit Committee member, the Board shall determine that such simultaneous service would not impair the ability of such member to effectively serve on the Corporation’s Audit Committee and disclose such determination in the Corporation’s annual proxy statement.

g.    Any director who, since the time such director was most recently elected to the Board, changes his or her employer or otherwise has a significant change in job responsibilities, or who accepts or intends to accept a directorship with another public company (or with any other organization that would require a significant time commitment) shall (1) advise the secretary of the Corporation of such change or directorship and (2) submit to the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee, in care of the secretary, a signed letter, addressed to such Committee, resigning as a director of the Corporation effective upon the acceptance of such resignation by such Committee, but void ab initio if not accepted by such Committee within ten (10) days of receipt by the secretary. The secretary of the Corporation shall promptly advise the members of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee of the change or directorship and the receipt of such a letter. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee shall promptly determine, in light of the circumstances, whether to accept or decline such resignation. In some instances, taking into account all relevant factors and circumstances, it may be appropriate for the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee to decline such resignation, but recommend to the Board that the director cease participation on one or more committees or that the director not be re-nominated to the Board.



I-2


h.    The Corporation has amended its By-Laws to provide for majority voting in the election of directors. In uncontested elections, directors are elected by a majority of the votes cast, which means that the number of shares voted “for” a director must exceed the number of shares voted “against” that director. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee (or comparable committee of the Board) shall establish procedures for any director who is not elected to tender his or her resignation. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee will make a recommendation to the Board on whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action should be taken. The Board will act on the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee's recommendation within 90 days following certification of the election results. In determining whether or not to recommend that the Board of Directors accept any resignation, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee shall be entitled to consider all factors believed relevant by such Committee’s members. Unless applicable to all directors, the director(s) whose resignation is under consideration is expected to recuse himself or herself from the Board vote to accept or reject the resignation. Thereafter, the Board will promptly disclose its decision regarding the director's resignation (including the reason(s) for rejecting the resignation, if applicable) in a Form 8-K furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission. If the Board accepts a director's resignation pursuant to this process, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee shall recommend to the Board whether to fill such vacancy or reduce the size of the Board. If, for any reason, the Board of Directors is not elected at an annual meeting, they may be elected thereafter at a special meeting of the stockholders called for that purpose in the manner provided in the By-laws.

i.    Including service on the Board of Directors of the Corporation, no director shall serve on the board of directors (or any similar governing body) of more than five public companies.

2.     Attendance and Participation at Board and Committee Meetings .

a.    Directors are expected to attend the six regularly scheduled board meetings in person, if practicable, or by telephone, if attendance in person is impractical. Directors should attempt to organize their schedules in advance so that attendance at all regularly scheduled board meetings will be practicable.

b.    For committees on which they serve, directors are expected to attend regularly scheduled meetings in person, if practicable, or by telephone, if attendance in person is impractical or if telephone participation is the expected means of participation. For committees on which they serve, directors should attempt to organize their schedules in advance so that attendance at all regularly scheduled committee meetings will be practicable.

c.    Directors shall make all reasonable efforts to attend, in person or by telephone, specially scheduled meetings of the Board or those committees on which they serve.

d.    Directors shall, to the fullest extent practicable, review in advance all meeting materials provided by management, the other directors and consultants or advisors to the Board.



I-3


e.    Directors are expected to comply with the policies and procedures of the Corporation with respect to business conduct, ethics, confidential information and ownership of, and trading in, the Corporation’s securities.

f.    Nothing stated herein shall be deemed to limit the duties of directors under applicable law.

3.     Director Access to Management and Independent Advisors .

a.    Executive officers of the Corporation and its subsidiaries shall make themselves available, and shall arrange for the availability of other members of management, employees and consultants, so that each director shall have full and complete access with respect to the business, finances and accounting of the Corporation and its subsidiaries.

b.    The chief financial officer and the chief legal officer of the Corporation shall regularly attend Board meetings (other than those portions of Board meetings that are reserved for independent or non-management directors or those portions in which the independent or non-management directors meet privately with the chief executive officer, other members of management or the Corporation’s independent accountants). The Board encourages the chief executive officer to invite other executive and non-executive officers to Board meetings from time to time in order to provide additional insight into items being discussed and so that the Board may meet and evaluate persons with potential for advancement.

c.    If the charter of any Board committee on which a director serves provides for access to independent advisors, any executive officer of the Corporation will be authorized to arrange for the payment of the reasonable fees of such advisors at the request of such a committee acting by resolution or unanimous written consent.

4.     Director Compensation.

a.    Directors shall be compensated in a manner and at a level sufficient to encourage exceptionally well qualified candidates to accept service on the Board and to retain existing directors. The Board believes that a meaningful portion of a director’s compensation should be provided in, or otherwise based upon appreciation in the market value of, the Corporation’s Common Stock. Compensation of the Directors shall be determined by the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee.

b.    In determining the form and amount of director compensation, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee shall retain an independent advisor to provide such Committee with advice, which shall include reference to data drawn from public company filings with respect to the fees and emoluments paid to outside directors by comparable public companies.

c.    Contributions to charities with which an independent or non-management director is affiliated will not be used as compensation to such a director, and management will make efforts to avoid any appearance of impropriety in connection with such contributions, if any. Contributions made during any fiscal year to charitable organizations


I-4


with which directors are affiliated, through membership on the governing board of such charitable organizations, shall be disclosed in the Corporation’s annual proxy statement for such year.

d.    Management will advise the Board should the Corporation or any subsidiary wish to enter into any direct financial arrangement with any director for consulting or advisory services, or into any financial arrangement with any entity affiliated with such director by which the director may be indirectly benefited, and no such arrangement shall be consummated without specific authorization from the Board.

5.     Director Orientation and Continuing Education.

a.    Each executive officer of the Corporation shall be available to and meet with any new director and provide an orientation into the business, finance and accounting of the Corporation.

b.    Each director shall be reimbursed, at such director’s request, for reasonable expenses incurred in pursuing continuing education with respect to his/her role and responsibilities to the stockholders and under law as a director.

6.     Management Succession.

a.    The Board, assisted by the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee, shall select, evaluate the performance of, and make determinations to retain or replace, the chief executive officer. Such evaluations and determinations will be made with (i) a view to the effectiveness and execution of strategies propounded by, and decisions made by, the chief executive officer with respect to the Corporation’s long-term strategic plan and long-term financial returns and (ii) applicable legal and ethical considerations.

b.    In furtherance of the foregoing responsibilities, and in contemplation of the retirement, or an exigency that requires the replacement, of the chief executive officer, the Board shall, in conjunction with the chief executive officer, evaluate the performance and potential of the other executive officers. More generally, the Board, assisted by the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee, shall participate in the planning for the succession of the other executive officers.

7.     Annual Performance Evaluation of the Board.

a.    The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for assisting the Board in the Board’s oversight of the Board’s own performance in the area of corporate governance.

b.    Annually, each independent director will participate in an assessment and evaluation of the Board’s performance. The independent directors of each committee of the Board will also annually participate in an assessment and evaluation of such committee’s performance. The results of such self-assessments will be discussed with the full Board.


I-5


8.     Matters for Board Review, Evaluation and/or Approval .

a.    The Board is responsible under the law of the State of Delaware to review and approve significant actions by the Corporation, including major transactions (such as material acquisitions and financings), declaration of dividends, issuance of securities and appointment of officers of the Corporation. The Board, with the assistance of the Audit Committee, shall annually review, and, if acceptable, approve, a delegation of authority policy that delineates the matters that shall be reserved for Board approval from those matters that may be delegated to management.

b.    The Board is responsible for reviewing and approving or ratifying any transaction, arrangement or relationship in which: (i) the aggregate amount involved will, or may be expected to, exceed $120,000 in any fiscal year, (ii) the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries is a participant, and (iii) any Related Person has or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or trustee or in any similar position, or a less than 10% beneficial owner, of another entity) (each, a “ Related Person Transaction ”). For purposes of this item 8.b, a “Related Person” shall be any person who at any time since the beginning of the last fiscal year of the Corporation was a director or executive officer of the Corporation, a nominee for director, a stockholder owning of record or beneficially more than 5% of any class of the Corporation’s voting securities and an immediate family member (as defined in Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Act ”)) of any such person. The Corporation’s chief legal officer, having been informed of any potential or planned Related Person Transaction in accordance with the Corporation’s applicable policies and procedures, shall promptly advise the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee. The Committee shall then review such transaction and, where the Committee determines in its business judgment that it is in the best interest of the Corporation, recommend such transaction for approval or ratification to the Board. In making such determination, the Committee and the Board shall broadly consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including the identity and position of the Related Person, the extent of the Related Person’s interest in the transaction, the business purpose for and reasonableness of the transaction (particularly in light of alternatives), the terms of the transaction and the materiality of the transaction to the Related Person and the Corporation. The Board, directly or through its Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee, may adopt additional policies and procedures with respect to Related Party Transactions, which may provide for certain exceptions to the review and approval requirements set forth above. The provisions of this item 8.b are in addition to, and not intended to modify, item 4.d above. The Corporation’s policies and procedures for the review, approval or ratification of Related Person Transactions shall be disclosed in the Corporation’s annual proxy statement.

c.    The Board is responsible, either through its Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee, or as guided by such Committee, for reviewing and approving any proposed service by an executive officer of the Corporation as a director of any other public company. In considering such approval, the Committee and the Board shall broadly consider all relevant facts and circumstances.



I-6


d.    The Board is responsible, either through its committees, or as guided by its committees, for those matters which are set forth in the respective charters of the Audit, Nominating/Corporate Governance, Compensation and Corporate Social Responsibility Committees or as otherwise set forth in the applicable laws of the state of Delaware, the applicable Federal laws of the United States and in the corporate governance rules of the New York Stock Exchange.

e.    The following matters, among others, will be the subject of Board deliberation on such occasions as the Board may determine necessary or desirable, but as least as often as required by applicable law or by the corporate governance rules of the New York Stock Exchange:

i.    the Board will review and, if acceptable, approve the Corporation’s operating plan for each fiscal year, as developed and recommended by management;

ii.    the Board will review actual performance against the operating plan;

9.     Management’s Responsibilities.

Management is responsible for operating the Corporation with the objective of achieving the Corporation’s operating and strategic plans and building value for stockholders on a long-term basis. In executing those responsibilities, management is expected to act in accordance with the policies and standards established by the Board (including these principles), as well as in accordance with applicable law and for the purpose of maintaining the value of the trademarks and business reputation of the Corporation’s subsidiaries. Specifically, the chief executive officer and the other executive officers are responsible for:

a.    producing, under the oversight of the Board and the Audit Committee, financial statements for the Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries that fairly present the financial condition, results of operation, cash flows and related risks in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, for making timely and complete disclosure to


I-7


investors in accordance with applicable laws, and for keeping the Board and the appropriate committees of the Board informed on a timely basis as to all matters of significance;

b.    developing and presenting the strategic plan, proposing amendments to the plan as conditions and opportunities dictate and implementing the plan as approved by the Board;

c.    developing and presenting the annual operating plan and budget and for implementing that plan as approved by the Board;

d.    identifying, assessing and managing risks that may arise in the Corporation’s operations and ensuring that the Board is appropriately aware of any such material risks;

e.    creating an organizational structure appropriate to the achievement of the strategic and operating plans of the Corporation and recruiting, selecting and developing the necessary managerial talent to execute on such plans;

f.    creating a working environment conducive to integrity, business ethics and compliance with applicable laws and the requirements of the Corporation’s policies;

g.    developing, implementing and monitoring an effective system of internal controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that: the Corporation’s transactions are properly authorized; the Corporation’s assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use; and the Corporation’s transactions are properly recorded and reported. Such internal controls and procedures also shall be designed to permit preparation of financial statements for the Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and any other legally required criteria applicable to such statements; and

h.    establishing, maintaining and evaluating the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures. The term “ disclosure controls and procedures ” means controls and other procedures of the Corporation that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in the reports filed or submitted by it under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in the reports it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the Corporation’s management, including its principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. To assist in carrying out this responsibility, management has established a Disclosure Control Committee, whose membership is responsible to the Audit Committee, to the chief executive officer and to the chief financial officer, and includes the following officers or employees of the Corporation: the executive officers primarily responsible for global retail sales, merchandising and manufacturing; the chief legal officer, the chief information officer, the controller, the heads of internal audit & financial planning and analysis, the investor relations officer and the treasurer.

10.     Leadership Structure and Meeting Procedures .

a.    The Board shall determine whether the offices of chairman of the board and chief executive officer shall be held by one person or by separate persons, and whether the person holding the office of chairman of the board shall be “independent”. An “ independent ” director meets the requirements for “independence” as referenced in item 1.a above. “ Non-management ” directors include those who are independent and those who, while not independent, are not currently employees of the Corporation or one of its subsidiaries. In determining which director shall serve as chairman of the Board, the Board shall broadly consider all relevant facts and circumstances as well as the director’s business experience, specific areas of expertise and skill set, including his or her ability to effectively moderate discussions during Board meetings and his or her responsiveness to the Board’s suggestions for agenda items and information to be provided by management to the Board.

b.    The chairman of the board will establish the agenda for each Board meeting, but the chairman of the board will include in such agenda any item submitted by the presiding independent director (see item 11.e below). Each Board member may suggest the inclusion of items on the agenda for any meeting, and the chairman of the board will consider them for inclusion.

c.    Management shall be responsible for distributing information and data that is necessary for the Board to understand the matters to be considered and acted upon by the Board; such materials shall be, to the fullest extent practicable, distributed in written form to the Board sufficiently in advance of Board meetings so as to provide reasonable time for review and evaluation. To that end, management has provided each director with access to a secure website where confidential and sensitive materials may be viewed. In circumstances where practical considerations do not permit advance circulation of written materials, reasonable steps shall be taken to allow more time for discussion and consideration, such as extending the duration of a meeting or circulating unanimous written consent forms, which may be considered and returned at a later time.

d.    The chairman of the board shall preside over meetings of the Board; in his or her absence, the presiding independent director or another director identified by the presiding independent director shall preside.

e.    If the chairman of the board is not independent, the independent directors shall select from among themselves a “ presiding independent director” ; failing such selection, the chairman of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee shall be the presiding independent director. The presiding independent director shall be identified as such in the Corporation’s annual proxy statement. The presiding independent director shall approve meeting agendas and schedules for the Board, chair meetings of the independent and non-management directors, serve as a liaison between the chairman of the Board and the independent directors, and serve to facilitate communications by stockholders and employees with the non-management directors. The presiding independent director shall also have the authority to call meetings of the independent directors.



I-9


f.    The non-management directors shall meet separately from the other directors in regularly scheduled executive session, without the presence of management directors and executive officers of the Corporation. As set forth in item 10.e above, the presiding independent director shall preside over such meetings.

g.    At least once per year the independent directors shall meet separately from the other directors in a scheduled executive session, without the presence of management directors, non-management directors who are not independent and executive officers of the Corporation. As set forth in item 10.e above, the presiding independent director shall preside over such meetings.

h.     The Board, with the assistance of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee, shall reassess the appropriateness of the Board leadership structure as warranted, including following changes in management, board composition or in the nature, scope or complexity of the Corporation’s operations.

11.     Committees .

a.    The Board shall have an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee, which shall have the respective responsibilities described in the charters of each committee. The membership of each such committee shall consist only of independent directors.

b.    The Board may, from time to time, appoint one or more additional committees, such as a Finance Committee, a Dividend Committee and a Corporate Social Responsibility Committee.

c.    The chairman of each Board committee, in consultation with the appropriate members of management, will develop the committee’s agenda. Management will assure that, as a general rule, information and data necessary to the committee’s understanding of the matters within the committee’s authority and the matters to be considered and acted upon by a committee are distributed to each member of such committee sufficiently in advance of each such meeting or action taken by written consent to provide a reasonable time for review and evaluation.

d.    At each regularly scheduled Board meeting, the chairman of each committee or his or her delegate shall report the matters considered and acted upon by such committee at each meeting (unless the full Board was present at such committee meeting), or by written consent, since the preceding regularly scheduled Board meeting. Such report may be effected by the distribution to the full Board of the minutes of any such meeting or any such written consent.

e.    The secretary of the Corporation, or any assistant secretary of the Corporation, shall be available to act as secretary of any committee and shall, if invited, attend meetings of the committee and prepare minutes of the meeting for approval and adoption by the committee. Once so approved and adopted, the secretary or assistant secretary shall sign the minutes, which signature will thereafter indicate the Committee’s approval and adoption.



I-10


12.     Reliance .

Any director of the Corporation shall, in the performance of such person’s duties as a member of the Board or any committee of the Board, be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Corporation or upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented by any of the Corporation’s officers or employees, or committees of the Board, or by any other person as to matters the director reasonably believes are within such other person’s professional or expert competence.

13.     Reference to Corporation’s Subsidiaries .

Where the context so requires, reference herein to the Corporation includes reference to the Corporation and/or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Corporation whose financial results are consolidated with those of the Corporation for financial reporting purposes, and reference to a subsidiary of the Corporation shall be reference to such a subsidiary.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Award will not be payable to Executive if the Committee determines that Executive has materially breached the terms and





conditions of any applicable post-employment restrictive covenants on or prior to the date of payment of such Award.

4. The Award is not transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and shall not otherwise be transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or disposed of in any way, whether by operation of law or otherwise, nor shall it be subject to execution, attachment or similar process.

5. Executive acknowledges and agrees that (i) this Award Agreement, the Award, and the transactions contemplated hereunder do not constitute an express or implied promise of continued employment or other service for any other period, and shall not interfere with the Company’s or Tiffany’s right to terminate the employment or service relationship at any time, with or without cause, subject to the terms of any written employment agreement (including any offer letter) between Executive and the Company or Tiffany, and (ii) Tiffany and the Company would not have granted the Award to Executive but for these acknowledgements and agreements.

Executive hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Committee upon any questions relating to the Plan and this Agreement.
9. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

11. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, these terms are intended to be interpreted and applied so that the payments and benefits set forth herein either shall either be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or shall comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be exempt from or in compliance with Code Section 409A. To the extent that any provision under this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Code Section 409A, the provision shall be interpreted in a manner so that no amount payable to Executive shall be subject to an “additional tax” within the meaning of Code Section 409A. For purposes of Code Section 409A, each payment provided under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, payments provided under this Agreement may only be made upon an event and in a manner that complies with Code Section 409A or an applicable exemption. In no event shall the Company or Tiffany have any liability or obligation with respect to taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses for which Executive may become liable as a result of the application of Code Section 409A.

If Executive notifies the Company or Tiffany that Executive believes that any provision of this Agreement (or of any award of compensation or benefit, including equity compensation or benefits provided herein or at any time during his employment with Employer) would cause Executive to incur any additional tax or interest under Code Section 409A or the Company or Tiffany independently makes such determination, the Company and Tiffany shall, after consulting with Executive, reform such provision (or award of compensation or benefit) to attempt to comply with or be exempt from Code Section 409A through good faith modifications to the minimum extent reasonably appropriate. To the extent that any provision hereof (or award of compensation or benefit) is modified in order to comply with Code Section 409A, such modification shall be made in good faith and shall, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, maintain the original intent and economic benefit to Executive, the Company and Tiffany without violating the provisions of Code Section 409A.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have entered into this Agreement effective as of the date first stated above.

In the event that one or more of the provisions contained in this instrument shall for any reason be held unenforceable in any respect under the law of any state of the United States or the United States, then (i) it shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, and (ii) such unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this instrument, but this instrument shall then be construed as if such unenforceable portion(s) had never been contained herein.

(b) In the event of breach or threatened breach by Participant of the provisions set forth in this instrument, Participant acknowledges that Tiffany will be irreparably harmed and that monetary damages (including loss of the Benefit) shall be an insufficient remedy to Tiffany.

Form of Non-Competition and Confidentiality Covenants, January 19, 2017

refusal of such request in writing, or (c) issue a written request for more written information concerning the Proposed Transaction.

Failure of the Board to act within any of the time periods specified in this Section 6 shall be deemed a determination that the Proposed Transaction is not prohibited hereunder. A determination made or deemed made under this Section 6 shall be limited in effect to the Proposed Transaction described in the submitted materials and shall not be binding or constitute a waiver with respect to any other Proposed Transaction, whether proposed by such Participant or any other Person. In the event that Participant wishes to seek a determination that employment with a management consulting firm, an accounting firm, a law firm or some other provider of consulting services to a wide variety clients will not be prohibited hereunder should such firm, at some unspecified time, provide services to a Person in the Retail Jewelry Trade or the Wholesale Jewelry Trade, Participant may seek a determination hereunder; in submitting such a Proposed Transaction, Participant should specify the extent that Participant will be involved in or can be excluded from involvement in the provision of such services. In making any determination under this Section 6, the Board shall not be deemed to be acting as a fiduciary with respect to Participant or any beneficiary of Participant and shall be under no obligation to issue a determination that any Proposed Transaction is not prohibited hereunder. If Participant is a Senior Officer at the time any determination under this Section 6 is requested, such a request shall be directed to the Committee, and actions and determinations described in this Section 6 shall be conducted by such Committee.

7.      Arbitration and Equitable Relief .      Participant and Tiffany agree that any and all disputes arising out or relating to the interpretation or application of this instrument, including any dispute concerning whether any conduct is in violation of Section 2 or 3, shall be subject to arbitration under the then existing Employment Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Arbitration proceedings shall be conducted by one arbitrator mutually selected by Participant and Tiffany or, if the parties are unable to agree, the default selection procedure of such Rules. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the location of the arbitration proceedings will be no more than 45 miles from the last principal place of Participant’s employment with Tiffany; however, if Participant’s last principal place of employment was outside the U.S., then the location will be New York, New York. Without limit to the arbitrator’s general authority, the arbitrator shall have the right to order reasonable discovery and decide dispositive motions. The final decision of the arbitrators shall be binding and enforceable without further legal proceedings in court or otherwise, provided that either party to such arbitration may enter judgment upon the award in any court having jurisdiction. The final decision arising from the arbitration shall be accompanied by a written opinion and decision which shall state the essential findings of fact and conclusions of law. The cost of the arbitrator and the arbitration shall be borne by Tiffany, but each party to the arbitration shall bear its own attorney’s fees. Notwithstanding any provision
in this Section 7, the requirement to arbitrate disputes shall not apply to any action to enforce this instrument by means of temporary or permanent injunction or other appropriate equitable relief, in which case the parties expressly consent to such a dispute being brought in a court of law with competent jurisdiction.

Option shall be two years from the Termination Date (but in no event later than the ten-year anniversary of the Grant Date).

7. Methods of Option Exercise .

(a) Prior to the Expiration Date, matured installments of the Option may be exercised in whole or in part by filing a written notice of exercise with the Corporate Secretary of Parent at its corporate headquarters. Such notice shall specify the number of Shares which Participant elects to purchase (the “Exercised Shares”) and shall be accompanied by a bank-certified check payable to Parent (or other type of check or draft payable to Parent and acceptable to its Corporate Secretary) in the amount of the Exercise Price for the Exercised Shares plus any tax withholding resulting from such exercise as computed by Employer. The exercise shall be deemed complete on Parent’s receipt of such notice and said check or draft.

(b) Alternatively, in lieu of such check or draft, if permitted by Parent, and subject to such requirements as Parent may specify (including without limitation requirements consistent with applicable policies concerning insider information), Participant may provide a copy of directions to, or a written acknowledgment from, an Approved Broker that the Approved Broker has been directed to sell, for the account of the owner of the Option, Shares (or a sufficient portion of the Shares) acquired upon exercise of the Option, together with an undertaking by the Approved Broker to remit to Parent a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds to pay the Exercise Price for the Exercised Shares plus any tax withholding resulting from such exercise as computed by Employer. The exercise shall be deemed complete on the trade date of the sale.

(c) The Committee may approve other methods of exercise, as provided for in the Plan, before the Option is exercised.

8. Withholding . All distributions on the exercise of the Option are subject to withholding of all applicable taxes. The method for withholding shall be as provided in paragraph 7 above, unless the

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Option may be transferred by Participant to (i) the spouse, children or grandchildren of Participant (each an “Immediate Family Member”), (ii) a trust or trusts for the exclusive benefit of any or all Immediate Family Members, or (iii) a partnership in which any or all Immediate Family Members are the only partners, provided that (x) there may be no consideration paid or otherwise given for any such transfer, and (y) subsequent transfer of the Option is prohibited otherwise than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order. Following transfer, the Option shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to transfer. The provisions of paragraph 5 above shall continue to be applied with respect to the original Participant following transfer and the Option shall be exercisable by the transferee only to the extent, and for the periods specified, herein. Upon any attempt to transfer the Option other than as permitted herein or to assign, pledge, hypothecate or dispose of the Option other than as permitted herein, or upon the levy of any execution, attachment or similar process upon the Option, the Option shall immediately terminate and become null and void.

10. Definitions . For the purposes of the Option, capitalized terms shall have the meanings provided herein or in the Definitional Appendix attached. Except where the context clearly implies or indicates the contrary, a word, term, or phrase used in the Plan shall have the same meaning in this document.

11. Heirs and Successors . The terms of the Option shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, Parent and its successors and assigns, and upon any person acquiring, whether by merger, consolidation, purchase of assets or otherwise, all or substantially all of Parent’s assets and business. Participant may designate a beneficiary of his/her rights under the Option by filing written notice with the Corporate Secretary of Parent. In the event of Participant’s death prior to the full exercise of the Option, the Option may be exercised by such beneficiary to the extent it was exercisable on Participant’s Termination Date and up until its Expiration Date. If Participant fails to designate a beneficiary, or if the designated beneficiary dies before Participant, the Option may be exercised by Participant’s estate to the extent that it was exercisable on Participant’s Termination Date and up until its Expiration Date.

12. Administration . The authority to manage and control the operation and administration of the Option shall be vested in the Committee, and the Committee shall have all powers with respect to the Option as it has with respect to the Plan. Any interpretation of the Option by the Committee and any decision made by it with respect to the Option shall be final and binding.

13. Compliance with Restrictive Covenants. Notwithstanding any other provision in these terms to the contrary, no installments of the Option shall vest pursuant to Sections 5(b), 5(c) or 5(d), and the Expiration Dates provided in the foregoing Sections shall not apply, if the Committee determines that Participant has materially breached the terms and conditions of any applicable confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation or other restrictive covenants. 

14. Plan Governs . Notwithstanding anything in this document to the contrary, the terms of the Option shall be subject to the terms of the Plan, a copy of which has been provided to Participant.

or issue any Shares or Exercised Shares pursuant to this document unless, on the date of sale and issuance thereof, such Shares are either registered under the Securities Act, and all applicable state securities laws, or are exempt from registration thereunder. Regardless of whether the offering and sale of Shares under the Plan have been registered under the Securities Act, or have been registered or qualified under the securities laws of any state, Parent at its discretion may impose restrictions upon the sale, pledge or other transfer of such Shares (including the placement of appropriate legends on stock certificates or the imposition of stop-transfer instructions) if, in the judgment of Parent, such restrictions are necessary in order to achieve compliance with the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or any other law.
16. Investment Purpose . Unless the Shares are registered under the Securities Act, any and all Shares acquired by Participant under this document will be acquired for investment for Participant’s own account and not with a view to, for resale in connection with, or with an intent of participating directly or indirectly in, any distribution of such Shares within the meaning of the Securities Act. Participant shall not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of such Shares unless they are either (i) registered under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws, or (ii) exempt from such registration in the opinion of Parent’s counsel.
17. No Guarantee of Continued Employment or Service . This document, the transactions contemplated hereunder and the exercise schedule set forth herein do not constitute an express or implied promise of continued employment or other service for the exercise period or for any other period, and shall not interfere with Participant’s right or the right of Employer, Parent or any Affiliate to terminate the employment or service relationship at any time, with or without cause, subject to the terms of any written employment agreement (including any offer letter) between Participant and Employer, Parent or any Affiliate.

18. Entire Document; Governing Law . The Plan and this document constitute the entire terms with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings of Employer, Parent or any Affiliate. In the event of any conflict between this document and the Plan, the Plan shall be controlling, except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan. This document shall be construed under the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of laws principles.
19. Opportunity for Review . Participant has reviewed the Plan and this document in their entirety, has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel and fully understands all provisions of the Plan and this document. All decisions or interpretations of the Committee upon any questions relating to the Plan and this document shall be binding, conclusive and final.
20. Section 409A . In no event shall Parent, Employer, or any Affiliate have any liability or obligation with respect to taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses for which Participant may become liable as a result of the application of Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, these terms are intended to be interpreted and applied so that the payments and benefits set forth herein either shall either be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A, or shall comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this document shall be interpreted to be exempt from or in compliance with Code Section 409A. To the extent that any provision under this document is ambiguous as to its compliance with Code Section 409A, the provision shall be interpreted in a manner so that no amount payable to Participant shall be subject to an “additional tax” within the meaning of Code Section 409A. For purposes of Code Section 409A, each payment provided under this document shall be treated as a separate payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this document, payments provided under this document may only be made upon an event and in a manner that complies with Code Section 409A or an applicable exemption.

In addition to the provisions regarding Code Section 409A set forth above, the following shall apply:

If Participant notifies Parent that Participant believes that any provision of this document (or of any award of compensation or benefit, including equity compensation or benefits provided herein or at any time during his employment with Employer) would cause Participant to incur any additional tax or interest under Code Section 409A or Parent independently makes such determination, Parent shall, after consulting with Participant, reform such provision (or award of compensation or benefit) to attempt to comply with or be exempt from Code Section 409A through good faith modifications to the minimum extent reasonably appropriate. To the extent that any provision hereof (or award of compensation or benefit) is modified in order to comply with Code Section 409A, such modification shall be made in good faith and shall, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, maintain the original intent and economic benefit to Participant and Parent without violating the provisions of Code Section 409A.

Introduction and Terms of Grant . Participant has been granted (the “Grant”) Stock Units that shall be settled by the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock (“Shares”). The Grant has been made under the Plan by the Committee. The name of “Participant,” the “Grant Date,” the number of Stock Units granted, the “Performance Period,” the “Earnings Threshold,” “Earnings Target,” and “Earnings Maximum,” and the “Operating Cash Flow Threshold,” “Operating Cash Flow Target” and “Operating Cash Flow Maximum” are stated in the attached “Notice of Grant.” The other terms and conditions of the Grant are stated in this document and in the Plan. As used herein, “Stock Units” refers to Stock Units included in this Grant, and not to other stock units that may have been or may be granted.

Maturity Date. Unless otherwise provided in section 5 or 6 below, the Performance Portion of the Stock Units will vest three business days following the public release of Parent’s audited, consolidated financial statements for the last fiscal year in the Performance Period (the “Maturity Date”). In the event that any provision of this document would otherwise result in the issuance of a fractional Share, Parent will not be obligated to issue such fractional Share.

(b)
Performance Portion. The “Performance Portion” shall be a percentage of the Stock Units calculated as hereinafter provided (provided that the Performance Portion shall never exceed 100% of the Stock Units):

(i)
The Performance Portion shall be 0% of the Stock Units if neither the Earnings Threshold nor the Operating Cash Flow Threshold is attained over the Performance Period.

(ii)
Subject to reduction pursuant to subsection (iii) below, if the Earnings Threshold or the Operating Cash Flow Threshold has been attained over the Performance Period, the Performance Portion shall be 100% of the Stock Units.

(iii) If the Earnings Threshold or the Operating Cash Flow Threshold has been attained over the Performance Period the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, have the right to reduce the Performance Portion to 0% of the Stock Units or any percentage of the Stock Units less than 100%. The Committee may exercise such discretion on any date that occurs following the close of the Performance Period and prior to the Maturity Date. The Committee has provided guidance to Participant with respect to factors, including the Earnings Target, the Earnings Maximum, the Operating Cash Flow Target and the




Operating Cash Flow Maximum, that the Committee intends to apply in effecting such a reduction, but shall not be limited in its discretion.

(c)
Performance Goals.

(i)
“Earnings” means Parent’s consolidated earnings per share on a diluted basis, as reported in Parent’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, aggregated over the Performance Period and as adjusted by the Committee as provided for below and in the Plan. The Earnings Threshold, Earnings Target and Earnings Maximum are expressed in the Notice of Grant as functions of Earnings, as so defined.

(ii)
“Operating Cash Flow” means Parent’s consolidated operating cash flow, as reported in Parent’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, aggregated over the Performance Period and as adjusted by the Committee as provided for below and in the Plan. The Operating Cash Flow Threshold, Operating Cash Flow Target and Operating Cash Flow Maximum are set out in the Notice of Grant as functions of Operating Cash Flow, as so defined.

(iii)
Earnings and Operating Cash Flow are each a “Performance Goal.” In determining whether any Performance Goal has been met, the Committee shall appropriately adjust any evaluation of attainment of a Performance Goal to exclude any of the following events that occurs during a Performance Period: (i) asset write-downs, (ii) litigation or claim judgments or settlements, (iii) the effect of changes in tax law, accounting principles or other such laws or provisions affecting reported results, (iv) accruals for reorganization and restructuring programs, (v) unusual or infrequently occurring items as described in said Annual Report for the applicable year, (vi) acquisitions or divestitures, (vii) any other specific unusual or nonrecurring events, or objectively determinable category thereto, (viii) foreign exchange gains and losses, and (ix) a change in Parent’s fiscal year.

3. Settlement.

(a)
Following the Maturity Date, the Settlement Value will be issued and delivered in Shares, and any fractional Dividend Equivalent Units credited on vested Stock Units will be settled by the delivery of cash. In each case, delivery will be made within thirty (30) days following the Maturity Date, but in no event later than December 31 of the calendar year in which the last day of the Performance Period occurs, to Participant or an Approved Broker for the account of Participant.

(b)
“Settlement Value” means the number of Shares equal to the number of vested Stock Units, plus the number of whole Dividend Equivalent Units credited on such vested Stock Units pursuant to Section 4.

References to Settlement Values in this document shall be deemed references to Settlement Values as so adjusted.

(c) Until a Share is issued and delivered it shall not be registered in the name of Participant. Shares that have not been issued and delivered shall be represented by Stock Units.

(d)
In all circumstances, a Stock Unit that fails to vest on or before the Maturity Date shall be null and void and shall not confer upon Participant any rights, including any right to any Share.
4. Dividend Equivalent Units; Interest. Interest shall not accrue on, or be payable with respect to, any Stock Unit.

(ii)
If the Termination Date occurs within the second fiscal year of the Performance Period, 34% of Stock Units shall vest on the Termination Date.

(iii)
If the Termination Date occurs within the first fiscal year of the Performance Period, 17% of Stock Units shall vest on the Termination Date.

(e)
Involuntary termination without Cause. If Participant’s Termination Date occurs at Employer’s initiative but is not for Cause, the Committee reserves the right to vest the Stock Units as follows,

but may condition such vesting upon Participant’s release of Parent and its affiliates from all claims, Participant’s agreement to reasonable non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality covenants, or both:

If the Termination Date occurs following the last fiscal year of the Performance Period but prior to the Maturity Date, the percentage of the Stock Units the Committee may elect to vest will be based on Parent’s cumulative performance during the Performance Period.
(ii)
If the Termination Date occurs within the last fiscal year of the Performance Period, the percentage of the Stock Units the Committee may elect to vest will be based on Parent’s cumulative performance during the first and second fiscal year of the Performance Period, as compared to the Performance Goals set out in the Notice of Grant; provided that such Performance Goals shall be pro-rated for the cumulative two-year period (66.67%), and applied in a manner consistent with the guidance provided by the Committee as referenced in Section 2 above.

(iii)
If the Termination Date occurs in the second fiscal year of the Performance Period, the percentage of the Stock Units the Committee may elect to vest will be based on Parent’s performance during the first fiscal year of the Performance Period, as compared to the Performance Goals set out in the Notice of Grant; provided that such Performance Goals shall be pro-rated for the one-year period (33.33%), and applied in a manner consistent with the guidance provided by the Committee as referenced in Section 2 above.
(iv) If the Termination Date occurs in the first fiscal year of the Performance Period, no Stock Units will vest.
(f)
In the event that any portion of the Stock Units vest pursuant to this Section, delivery as described in Section 3 shall take place within 30 days after vesting. For the avoidance of doubt, no Stock Units shall vest if Participant’s Termination Date occurs before the start of the Performance Period.

6 . Effect of Change in Control on Vesting .

(a)
All Stock Units shall vest upon a Change in Control that is a Terminating Transaction unless the date such Change in Control occurs is before the start of the Performance Period, in which case none of the Stock Units shall vest.

(b)
In the event of a Change in Control that is not a Terminating Transaction, Stock Units will convert to “Time-Based Restricted Stock Units” as follows:

(i)
If the Change in Control occurs in the first or second fiscal year of the Performance Period, then 55% of Stock Units shall convert to Time-Based Restricted Stock Units.
(ii)
If the Change in Control occurs within or following the last fiscal year of the Performance Period, the percentage of the Target award number of Stock Units to convert to Time-Based Restricted Stock Units will be based on Parent’s cumulative performance during the first and second fiscal year of the Performance Period, as compared to the Performance Goals expressed in the Notice of Grant; provided that such Performance Goals shall be pro-rated for the cumulative two-year period (66.67%), and applied in a manner consistent with the guidance provided by the Committee as referenced in Section 2 above.

The vesting of the Time-Based Restricted Stock Units converted as described above will occur upon the earliest of the following events: (i) Participant’s Involuntary Termination, (ii) Participant’s Termination Date due to death or Disability, (iii) Participant’s Retirement or (iv) the Maturity Date. If Participant’s Termination Date prior occurs for any other reason prior to the time the Time-Based Restricted Stock Units vest, such Units will expire and be null and void.

(d)

(e)
For the avoidance of doubt, no conversion or vesting will occur pursuant to Sections 6(b) or 6(c) if the date of the applicable Change in Control is before the start of the Performance Period.

7. Withholding for Taxes. All distributions of Shares shall be subject to withholding of all applicable taxes as computed by Employer, and Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to Parent to provide Parent (or any Affiliate) with funds necessary for such withholding before the Shares are delivered. Without limitation to Parent’s right to establish other arrangements, Parent may: (i) designate an Approved Broker to establish trading accounts for Participants; (ii) deliver Shares to such an account; (iii) provide such Approved Broker information concerning the applicable tax withholding rates for Participant; (iv) cause such Approved Broker to sell, on behalf of Participant, sufficient Shares to cover Parent’s tax withholding obligations with respect to any delivery of Shares to Participant (a “Covering Sale”); and (v) cause such Approved Broker to remit funds resulting from a Covering Sale to Parent or Employer. As a condition to distribution Parent may require Participant to provide such Approved Broker with such signed applications, authorizations, powers and other documents necessary to accomplish the foregoing. Participant may, by written notice to Parent addressed to Parent’s Corporate Secretary, and given no less than ten (10) business days before the Maturity Date or other applicable vesting date, elect to avoid a Covering Sale by delivering with such notice a bank-certified check payable to Parent (or other type of check or draft payable to Parent and acceptable to its Corporate Secretary in the estimated amount of any such withholding required, such estimate to be provided by Employer.

11. Administration . The authority to manage and control the operation and administration of the Grant shall be vested in the Committee, and the Committee shall have all powers with respect to the Grant as it has with respect to the Plan. Any interpretation of the Grant by the Committee and any decision made by it with respect to the Grant is final and binding.

12. Compliance with Restrictive Covenants . Notwithstanding any other provision in these terms to the contrary, no Stock Units will vest pursuant to Section 5 if the Committee determines that Participant has materially breached the terms and conditions of any applicable confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation or other restrictive covenants on or prior to the Maturity Date or other applicable vesting date of such Stock Units.

13. Clawback Provisions . Notwithstanding any other provisions in these terms to the contrary, Shares which have been issued and delivered to or for Participant’s account pursuant to the vesting of a Stock Unit shall be subject to deductions and clawback as may be required under any applicable law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement, or any policy adopted by Parent, including but not limited to the Policy for Recovery of Incentive-based Compensation Erroneously Awarded to Executive Officers, adopted by the Parent Board on September 18, 2013.

14. Plan Governs . Notwithstanding anything in this document to the contrary, the terms of the Grant shall be subject to the terms of the Plan, a copy of which has been provided to Participant.

15. Securities Matters . All Shares shall be subject to the restrictions on sale, encumbrance and other disposition provided by federal or state law. Parent shall not be obligated to sell or issue any Shares pursuant to this document unless, on the date of sale and issuance thereof, such Shares are either registered under the Securities Act, and all applicable state securities laws, or are exempt from registration thereunder. Regardless of whether the offering and sale of Shares under the Plan have been registered under the Securities Act, or have been registered or qualified under the securities laws of any state, Parent at its discretion may impose restrictions upon the sale, pledge or other transfer of such Shares (including the placement of appropriate legends on stock certificates or the imposition of stop-transfer instructions) if, in the judgment of Parent, such restrictions are necessary in order to achieve compliance with the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or any other law.

16. Investment Purpose . Unless the Shares are registered under the Securities Act, any and all Shares acquired by Participant under this document will be acquired for investment for Participant’s own account and not with a view to, for resale in connection with, or with an intent of participating directly or indirectly in, any distribution of such Shares within the meaning of the Securities Act. Participant shall not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of such Shares unless they are either (i) registered under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws, or (ii) exempt from such registration in the opinion of Parent’s counsel.

17. No Guarantee of Continued Employment or Service. This document, the transactions contemplated hereunder and the vesting schedule set forth herein do not constitute an express or implied promise of continued employment or other service for the vesting period or for any other period, and shall not interfere with Participant’s right or the right of the Employer, Parent or any Affiliate to terminate the employment or service relationship at any time, with or without cause, subject to the terms of any written


Tiffany & Co. 2014 Employee Incentive Plan - Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Grant, January 19, 2017
6




employment agreement (including any offer letter) between Participant and Employer, Parent or any Affiliate.

18. Entire Document; Governing Law . The Plan and this document constitute the entire terms with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings of Employer, Parent or any Affiliate. In the event of any conflict between this document and the Plan, the Plan shall be controlling, except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan. This document shall be construed under the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of laws principles.
19. Opportunity for Review . Participant has reviewed the Plan and this document in their entirety, has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel and fully understands all provisions of the Plan and this document. All decisions or interpretations of the Committee upon any questions relating to the Plan and this document shall be binding, conclusive and final.
20. Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any benefits and payments provided hereunder that are payable or provided to Participant in connection with a termination of employment that constitute deferred compensation within the meaning of Code Section 409A shall not commence in connection with Participant’s termination of employment unless and until Participant has also incurred a Separation from Service, and unless Parent reasonably determines that such amounts may be provided to Participant without causing Participant to incur additional tax obligations under Code Section 409A. For the avoidance of doubt, it is intended that payments hereunder comply with or satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Code Section 409A. However, if Parent determines that these payments constitute deferred compensation and Participant is, on the termination of his service, a Specified Employee of Employer, then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid the incurrence of the adverse personal tax consequences under Code Section 409A, the timing of the payments shall be delayed until the earlier to occur of: (i) the date that is six months and one day after Participant’s Separation from Service or (ii) the date of Participant’s death that occurs after Participant’s Separation from Service. In no event shall Parent, Employer, or any Affiliate have any liability or obligation with respect to taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses for which Participant may become liable as a result of the application of Code Section 409A.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, these terms are intended to be interpreted and applied so that the payments and benefits set forth herein either shall either be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A, or shall comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this document shall be interpreted to be exempt from or in compliance with Code Section 409A. To the extent that any provision under this document is ambiguous as to its compliance with Code Section 409A, the provision shall be interpreted in a manner so that no amount payable to Participant shall be subject to an “additional tax” within the meaning of Code Section 409A. For purposes of Code Section 409A, each payment provided under this document shall be treated as a separate payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this document, payments provided under this document may only be made upon an event and in a manner that complies with Code Section 409A or an applicable exemption.

In addition to the provisions regarding Code Section 409A set forth above, the following shall apply:

If Participant notifies Parent that Participant believes that any provision of this document (or of any award of compensation or benefit, including equity compensation or benefits provided herein or at any time during his employment with Employer) would cause Participant to incur any additional tax or interest under Code Section 409A or Parent independently makes such determination, Parent shall, after


Tiffany & Co. 2014 Employee Incentive Plan - Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Grant, January 19, 2017
7




consulting with Participant, reform such provision (or award of compensation or benefit) to attempt to comply with or be exempt from Code Section 409A through good faith modifications to the minimum extent reasonably appropriate. To the extent that any provision hereof (or award of compensation or benefit) is modified in order to comply with Code Section 409A, such modification shall be made in good faith and shall, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, maintain the original intent and economic benefit to Participant and Parent without violating the provisions of Code Section 409A.

Exhibit 10.29p

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT TERMS

Effective January 19, 2017


TIFFANY & CO.
a Delaware Corporation
(the “ Parent ”)
TERMS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT
(Non-Transferable)
under the
2014 EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE PLAN
(the “ Plan ”)
Terms Effective January 19, 2017

1. Introduction and Terms of Grant . Participant has been granted (the “Grant”) restricted stock units (“Stock Units”) that shall be settled by the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock (“Shares”). The Grant has been made under the Plan by the Committee. The name of the “Participant,” the “Grant Date” and the number of “Stock Units” granted are stated in the attached “Notice of Grant.” The other terms and conditions of the Grant are stated in this document and in the Plan. If Participant has the title of Vice President or a more senior title, this Grant will be void unless Participant executes and delivers to Parent those certain Non-Competition and Confidentiality Covenants in the form approved by the Committee within 180 days after the Grant Date. As used herein, “Stock Units” refers to Stock Units included in this Grant, and not to other stock units that may have been or may be granted.

2. Maturity Dates - Vesting in Installments. Unless otherwise provided in Section 5, the Stock Units granted hereunder will vest in one or more installments (each, an “Installment”) on a single date or series of dates (each, a “Maturity Date”) according to the schedule set forth in the Notice of Grant. In the event such schedule would result in an Installment that includes a fractional Stock Unit, such fractional Unit will not vest on the relevant Maturity Date, but will vest on a subsequent Maturity Date if, when added to other fractional Stock Units that would otherwise vest, such vesting would result in the vesting of a whole Stock Unit. If the application of the foregoing sentence fails to result in the eventual vesting of a full Stock Unit, any fractional Stock Units will be deemed to have expired, and Parent shall not be obligated to issue Shares or cash, or have any other obligation, concerning such fractional Units.

3. Settlement.

(a) Upon the vesting of any Installment, the Settlement Value of the Installment will be issued and delivered in Shares to or for the account of Participant, and any fractional Dividend Equivalent Units credited on such Installment will be settled by the delivery of cash. In each case, delivery will be made within thirty (30) days following the vesting date to Participant or an Approved Broker for the account of Participant.

(b) With respect to any Installment, “Settlement Value” means the number of Shares equal to the number of Stock Units included in such Installment, plus the number of whole Dividend Equivalent Units credited on such Installment pursuant to Section 4. The Settlement Value shall be subject to further adjustment as provided in Section 4.2(c) of the Plan, to adjust for, among other corporate





developments, stock splits and stock dividends. References to Settlement Values in this document shall be deemed references to Settlement Values as so adjusted.

(c) Until a Share is issued and delivered it shall not be registered in the name of Participant. Shares that have not been issued and delivered shall be represented by Stock Units.

(d)
In all circumstances, a Stock Unit that fails to vest on or before the Maturity Date shall be null and void and shall not confer upon Participant any rights, including any right to any Share.

4. Dividend Equivalent Units; Interest. Interest shall not accrue on, or be payable with respect to, any Stock Unit. Participant will be credited with dividend equivalents on Stock Units in the following manner: on any date (a “Dividend Date”) Parent pays an ordinary cash dividend on Common Stock, and provided the Grant Date is on or prior to the record date for such dividend, for each Installment of Stock Units included in this Grant, Participant will be credited with “Dividend Equivalent Units” in an amount equal to: (i) the product of (A) the number of outstanding Stock Units included in the Installment plus any whole Dividend Equivalent Units previously credited on such outstanding Stock Units under this Section 4, and (B) the per share cash dividend paid on the Dividend Date, divided by (ii) the simple arithmetic mean of the high and low sale price of Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the Dividend Date. For the avoidance of doubt, no dividends or cash in respect of Dividend Equivalent Units will be delivered until the vesting and settlement, if any, of the underlying Stock Units.

5. Effect of Termination of Employment or Change in Control .

(a)
Generally. Upon Participant’s Termination Date, any unvested Stock Units shall be deemed to have “expired,” unless otherwise provided below. An expired Stock Unit shall be void and shall not confer rights to Shares or Dividend Equivalent Units or any other rights.

(b)
Termination due to death or Disability. If Participant’s Termination Date occurs by reason of death or Disability, all unvested, unexpired Installments will vest on the Termination Date.

(c)
Effect of Change in Control . Upon the earlier of (i) the date of any Change in Control, if such Change in Control effects a Terminating Transaction, or (ii) Participant’s Involuntary Termination, all unvested, unexpired Installments shall vest.

6. Withholding for Taxes. All distributions of Shares shall be subject to withholding of all applicable taxes as computed by Employer, and Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to Parent to provide Parent (or Employer) with funds necessary for such withholding before the Shares are delivered. Without limitation to Parent’s right to establish other arrangements, Parent may: (i) designate an Approved Broker to establish trading accounts for Participants, (ii) deliver Shares to such an account; (iii) provide such Approved Broker information concerning the applicable tax withholding rates for Participant; (iv) cause such Approved Broker to sell, on behalf of Participant, sufficient Shares to cover Parent’s tax withholding obligations with respect to any delivery of Shares to Participant (a “Covering Sale”); and (v) cause such Approved Broker to remit funds resulting from a Covering Sale to Parent or Employer. Participant may, by written notice to Parent addressed to Parent’s Corporate Secretary, given no less than ten (10) business days before an applicable Maturity Date, elect to avoid a Covering Sale, by delivering with such notice a bank-certified check payable to Parent (or other type of check or draft payable to Parent and acceptable to its Corporate Secretary) in the estimated amount of any such withholding required, such estimate to be provided by Employer. The Committee may approve other methods of withholding, as provided for in the Plan, before the Shares are delivered.

Parent shall not be obligated to sell or issue any Shares pursuant to this document unless, on the date of sale and issuance thereof, such Shares are either registered under the Securities Act, and all applicable state securities laws, or are exempt from registration thereunder. Regardless of whether the offering and sale of Shares under the Plan have been registered under the Securities Act, or have been registered or qualified under the securities laws of any state, Parent at its discretion may impose restrictions upon the sale, pledge or other transfer of such Shares (including the placement of appropriate legends on stock certificates or the imposition of stop-transfer instructions) if, in the judgment of Parent, such restrictions are necessary in order to achieve compliance with the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or any other law.
13. Investment Purpose . Unless the Shares are registered under the Securities Act, any and all Shares acquired by Participant under this document will be acquired for investment for Participant’s own account and not with a view to, for resale in connection with, or with an intent of participating directly or indirectly in, any distribution of such Shares within the meaning of the Securities Act. Participant shall not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of such Shares unless they are either (i) registered under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws, or (ii) exempt from such registration in the opinion of Parent’s counsel.
14. No Guarantee of Continued Employment or Service. This document, the transactions contemplated hereunder and the vesting schedule set forth herein do not constitute an express or implied promise of continued employment or other service for the vesting period or for any other period, and shall not interfere with Participant’s right or the right of the Employer, Parent or any Affiliate to terminate the

employment or service relationship at any time, with or without cause, subject to the terms of any written employment agreement (including any offer letter) between Participant and the Employer, Parent or any Affiliate.

15. Entire Document; Governing Law . The Plan and this document constitute the entire terms with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings of Employer, Parent or any Affiliate. In the event of any conflict between this document and the Plan, the Plan shall be controlling, except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan. This document shall be construed under the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of laws principles.
16. Opportunity for Review . Participant has reviewed the Plan and this document in their entirety, has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel and fully understands all provisions of the Plan and this document. All decisions or interpretations of the Committee upon any questions relating to the Plan and this document shall be binding, conclusive and final.
17. Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any benefits and payments provided hereunder that are payable or provided to Participant in connection with a termination of employment that constitute deferred compensation within the meaning of Code Section 409A shall not commence in connection with Participant’s termination of employment unless and until Participant has also incurred a Separation from Service, and unless Parent reasonably determines that such amounts may be provided to Participant without causing Participant to incur additional tax obligations under Code Section 409A. For the avoidance of doubt, it is intended that payments hereunder comply with or satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Code Section 409A. However, if Parent determines that these payments constitute deferred compensation and Participant is, on the termination of his service, a Specified Employee of Employer, then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid the incurrence of the adverse personal tax consequences under Code Section 409A, the timing of the payments shall be delayed until the earlier to occur of: (i) the date that is six months and one day after Participant’s Separation from Service or (ii) the date of Participant’s death that occurs after Participant’s Separation from Service.

In no event shall Parent, Employer, or any Affiliate have any liability or obligation with respect to taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses for which Participant may become liable as a result of the application of Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, these terms are intended to be interpreted and applied so that the payments and benefits set forth herein either shall either be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A, or shall comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this document shall be interpreted to be exempt from or in compliance with Code Section 409A. To the extent that any provision under this document is ambiguous as to its compliance with Code Section 409A, the provision shall be interpreted in a manner so that no amount payable to Participant shall be subject to an “additional tax” within the meaning of Code Section 409A. For purposes of Code Section 409A, each payment provided under this document shall be treated as a separate payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this document, payments provided under this document may only be made upon an event and in a manner that complies with Code Section 409A or an applicable exemption.

In addition to the provisions regarding Code Section 409A set forth above, the following shall apply:

If Participant notifies Parent that Participant believes that any provision of this document (or of any award of compensation or benefit, including equity compensation or benefits provided herein or at any time during his employment with Employer) would cause Participant to incur any additional tax or interest under Code Section 409A or Parent independently makes such determination, Parent shall, after consulting with Participant, reform such provision (or award of compensation or benefit) to attempt to

Restricted Stock Unit Grant Terms, January 19, 2017

comply with or be exempt from Code Section 409A through good faith modifications to the minimum extent reasonably appropriate. To the extent that any provision hereof (or award of compensation or benefit) is modified in order to comply with Code Section 409A, such modification shall be made in good faith and shall, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, maintain the original intent and economic benefit to Participant and Parent without violating the provisions of Code Section 409A.
