WHEREAS, Tiffany and Company further revised this plan effective November 25, 2008 to provide for benefits under a voluntary enhanced retirement incentive program referred to as Pension-Plus, and to modify this plan’s terms relating to commencement of retirement benefits under this plan, due to restrictions imposed under the Internal Revenue Code, which revisions are reflected in this document; and

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

WHEREAS, Tiffany and Company further revised this plan effective March 17, 2016, to revise the terms of the Non-Competition and Confidentiality Covenants,

WHEREAS, Tiffany and Company further revised this plan effective January 19, 2017, to revise the terms of the Non-Competition and Confidentiality Covenants, and

Whenever the amount of any payment under this Plan is to be determined, it shall be determined without reference to this Section 3.10 on the assumption that such payments

3.11
Required Cash-outs of Certain Accrued Benefits . If a Participant terminates service prior to January 1, 2009 and the present value of the Vested accrued pension or survivor benefit provided under Article III hereof in respect of such Participant is equal to or less than $5,000, or if a Participant incurs a Separation from Service after December 31, 2008 and the present value of the Vested accrued pension or survivor benefit provided under Article III hereof in respect of such Participant is equal to or less than the limitation in effect under Section 402(g)(1)(B) of the Code for the year in which he incurs such Separation from Service, the person to whom such benefits would otherwise be paid in monthly installments shall receive a lump-sum distribution of the present value of the entire Vested portion of such Accrued Benefit. For the purposes of determining the present value of a Vested Accrued Benefit under this Section 3.11, actuarial assumptions used under the Pension Plan for a comparable determination under the Pension Plan shall be used. Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, if a former Participant who has received a lump-sum distribution of his entire non-forfeitable benefit under this Plan pursuant to this Section 3.11 is re-employed by the Company, he shall be treated as a new Employee and prior service performed by the former Participant in respect of such distribution shall be disregarded for purposes of determining his Accrued Benefit under this Plan.

3.13
Adjustment, Amendment, or Termination of Benefit. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan to the contrary, the Company may not adjust, amend, or terminate its obligations to a Participant in respect of his Accrued Benefit under this Article III subsequent to that date on which Participant is Vested pursuant to Section 3.12 above except as expressly provided in Section 3.12 above.

To the extent consistent with the rules relating to plan terminations and liquidations in Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix) of the Regulations or otherwise consistent with Section 409A of the Code, the Company may provide that, without the prior written consent of Participants, the Participants’ benefits hereunder shall be distributed in a lump sum upon termination of the Plan.

determining rights to benefits under this Plan.

This Policy was adopted on July 20, 2006 (the “ Adoption Date ”) by the Board of Directors (the “ Board ”) of Tiffany & Co. (the “ Corporation ”) for those who were then, or who were subsequently designated, “ executive officers ” by the Board. This Policy was revised on March 15, 2007, to include directors of the Corporation. This Policy was further revised on March 21, 2013 to deal with pledging securities. This Policy was further revised on September 18, 2013 to remove the requirement to own a Significant Portfolio by any specific date, to eliminate the practice of counting vested options from the calculation of a Significant Portfolio, and to specify the Restrictions on Disposition for executive officers and directors who do not own a Significant Portfolio. This Policy was further revised on March 20, 2014 to clarify the calculation of a Significant Portfolio. This Policy was further revised on November 19, 2014 to apply restrictions on disposition to Net Incentive Stock as that term is defined below, and on November 15, 2017 to incorporate clarifying and administrative changes. This Policy applies to the ownership of Common Stock.

Defined Terms :

For the purposes of this Policy the following words and phrases shall have the meanings ascribed to them:

Acquisition Costs ” means the sum of the following costs incurred by a Covered Person to acquire Common Stock upon the exercise of a stock option issued to the Covered Person by the Corporation or the vesting of a restricted stock unit issued to the Covered Person by the Corporation: (i) tax withholding obligations of the employer of the executive officer associated with such exercise or vesting; (ii) tax payments made by a director to the extent reasonably necessary to satisfy the income tax obligations of the director, both federal and state, associated with such exercise or vesting; and (iii) payment to the Corporation of the stock option exercise price (“strike price”).

Annual Calculation Date ” means the close of trading on the first date on or after April 1 of each year on which the Common Stock trades on The New York Stock Exchange.

Beneficial Ownership ” shall have the same meaning as under Rule 16a-1(a)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and shall, for the avoidance of doubt, include (A) Common Stock held by members of the Covered Person’s immediate family sharing the same household provided that the presumption of such beneficial ownership has not been rebutted by the Covered Person and (B) the Common Stock conversion value of restricted stock units issued under the Corporation’s 2008 Directors Equity Compensation Plan or the 2017 Directors Equity Compensation Plan, which have vested but will not be delivered until retirement of the applicable director from the Board, but shall not include (X) the Covered Person’s right to acquire Common Stock through





the exercise or conversion of any derivative security, including Common Stock issuable by the Company on the exercise of a stock option or the vesting of a restricted stock unit and (Y) shares of Common Stock that are subject to a Pledge.

Common Stock ” means the common stock of the Corporation, $.01 par value, but the term Common Stock shall not refer to options to purchase Common Stock or restricted stock units prior to vesting.

Covered Person ” means a director or an executive officer of the Corporation.

Director ” means a director of the Corporation but a director of the Corporation who is also an executive officer shall not be deemed a Director for purposes of this policy.

Disposition ” means any transaction which would cause the Covered Person to cease to be the Beneficial Owner of Common Stock including any withholding of shares that would be issued by the Corporation to cover Acquisition Costs.

Financial Hardship ” means an immediate and heavy financial need of the Covered Person (including that of his spouse or any dependent), as so determined by the Board on application from the Covered Person, not in excess of the amount required to relieve such financial need, and only if, and to the extent, such need cannot be satisfied from other resources reasonably available to the executive officer or Director (including assets of his or her spouse and minor children reasonably available to him or her).

Net Incentive Stock ” means that number of shares of Common Stock issued to a Covered Person or to his or her brokerage account as the result of (i) the exercise of a stock option issued to the Covered Person by the Corporation or (ii) the vesting of a restricted stock unit issued to the Covered Person by the Corporation. For the avoidance of doubt, shares of Common Stock that are withheld by the Corporation to pay withholding taxes or the exercise or “strike price” associated with the exercise of a stock option or the vesting of a restricted stock unit shall not be deemed to be “issued” for purposes of this definition.

Pledge ” means any arrangement by which (i) custody or record ownership of Common Stock has been provided to a third person by the beneficial owner and (ii) such third person may acquire beneficial ownership or dispose of such Common Stock on the satisfaction of a condition, i.e , default by the beneficial owner. A Pledge shall include custody of Common Stock in a margin account held or maintained at a brokerage firm.

Qualified Domestic Relations Order ” means a judgment, decree or order (including approval of a property settlement agreement) made pursuant to a state domestic relations law (including community property law) that relates to the provision of child support, alimony payments or marital property rights to a spouse, former spouse, child or other dependent of a Covered Person and which requires the Covered Person to make a transfer or sale of Common Stock.

Significant Portfolio ” means for the Covered Person in question, shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned having a value equal to or greater than the multiple of annual salary set forth




below, or in the case of Directors, the multiple of the Director’s annual Board cash retainer (exclusive of supplemental retainer for committee chairs, lead Director and non-executive chairman):

Chief Executive Officer - five times;
Director - five times;
President - four times;
Executive Vice Presidents - three times; and
Senior Vice Presidents - two times.

For purposes of determining the amount of shares constituting a Significant Portfolio, shares of Common Stock will be valued at the mean of the high and low trading prices on The New York Stock Exchange on the last Annual Calculation Date.

Significant Portfolio Owner ”: a Covered Person will be deemed to be a Significant Portfolio Owner if he or she Beneficially Owned a Significant Portfolio as of the last Annual Calculation Date that has occurred prior to the date of any proposed Disposition; provided, however, that a Covered Person who did not Beneficially Own a Significant Portfolio as of the last Annual Calculation Date shall be deemed to be a Significant Portfolio Owner on any subsequent date before the next Annual Calculation Date if he or she then Beneficially Owns, on such subsequent date, a Significant Portfolio.

A. Basic Policy

It is the policy of the Board that each Covered Person will be subject to the Restrictions on Disposition set forth in Section C.

B. Valuation

For purposes of this Policy, shares of Common Stock will be valued at the mean of the high and low trading prices on The New York Stock Exchange on the last Annual Calculation Date; provided, however, that, in calculating Net Incentive Stock with respect to a proposed Disposition, the trading price of the Common Stock for such Disposition shall be used to determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be withheld by the Corporation to pay withholding taxes or the strike price associated with the exercise of a stock option. Following each Annual Calculation Date, the Secretary of the Corporation will inform each Covered Person whether he or she is deemed a Significant Portfolio Owner as of such Date.

C. Restrictions on Disposition

1. A Covered Person who is deemed a Significant Portfolio Owner will not engage in any Disposition that would cause him or her to cease to Beneficially Own a Significant Portfolio (on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned on the date of any proposed Disposition).





2. A Covered Person who is not deemed a Significant Portfolio Owner shall not engage in any Disposition except as follows:

(i)
a Disposition of Net Incentive Stock, but not in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the Net Incentive Stock issued as a consequence of any vesting or exercise;

(ii)
a Disposition made under circumstances constituting a Financial Hardship; or

(iii)
a Disposition made pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

3. The following examples are offered by way of illustration and not for purposes of limitation:

Example 1 :
A Covered Person who is not a Significant Portfolio Owner exercises a stock option for 1,000 shares. The Company withholds 600 shares to cover the exercise or “strike” price associated with such exercise, and an additional 200 shares to pay withholding taxes. The Covered Person receives a net amount of 200 shares. He may sell up to 100 of the shares issued to him by the Company. He must retain 100 shares in his account to build a Significant Portfolio.

Example 2 :
A Covered Person who is not a Significant Portfolio Owner is granted 2,000 Performance-based Restricted Stock Units. 1,000 of these units vest at the end of the performance period; 500 of these units are withheld by the Corporation to cover Acquisition Costs and 500 are transferred to the account of the Covered Person. The Covered Person may sell up to 250 of the shares issued to him by the Company. He must retain 250 shares in his account to build a Significant Portfolio.
D. Other Matters

Nothing contained in this Policy shall compel any transaction or excuse compliance with applicable law or with the Corporation’s policies, including the Corporation’s policies with respect to trading on insider information or engaging in speculative transactions in the Common Stock. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to alter the terms of any stock option or other equity award grant made under the Corporation’s equity award plans.

4. Expiration . The Option shall not be exercisable in part or in whole on or after the Expiration Date. The “Expiration Date” shall be the ten-year anniversary of the Grant Date.

5. Methods of Option Exercise .

(a)
Prior to the Expiration Date, the Option may be exercised in whole or in part as to any Covered Shares (but not as to a fractional share) by filing a written notice of exercise with the Corporate Secretary of Parent at its corporate headquarters. Such notice shall specify the number of Covered 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) or confirmation (in a form acceptable to such Corporate Secretary) that payment has been made to Parent in immediately available funds by wire transfer, in each case in the amount of the Exercise Price for the Exercised Shares. The exercise shall be deemed complete on Parent’s receipt of such notice and said check or said confirmation of payment.

(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, Exercised Shares (or a sufficient portion of the Exercised 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. The exercise shall be deemed complete on the trade date of the sale.

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

6. Withholding . Distributions on the exercise of the Option by a member of the Parent Board who is not at the time an employee of Parent or an Affiliate are not subject to withholding of applicable taxes, except as otherwise required by applicable law. Participant shall be responsible for payment of all applicable taxes. In the event that such distributions become subject to withholding of applicable taxes, Participant will be required to make such payment to Company at the time of exercise, in addition to the payment set forth in Section 5 above.

7. Transferability . The Option is not transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a “domestic relations order” as defined in the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act or the rules thereunder, 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. 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, (iii) a partnership in which any or all Immediate Family Members are the only partners, or (iv) to a retirement plan for the sole benefit of Participant and/or his Immediate Family Members 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 other 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. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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 that it was exercisable at the time of Participant’s death and up until its Expiration Date. If Participant fails to designate a beneficiary, or if the designated beneficiary dies before Participant or before full exercise of the Option, the Option may be exercised by Participant’s estate to the extent that it was exercisable at the time of Participant’s death and up until its Expiration Date.

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

11. 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.

12. Securities Matters . All Shares and Exercised 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 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 of 1933, as amended (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 Securties Act and all applicable state securities laws, or (ii) exempt from such registration in the opinion of Parent’s counsel.
14. 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 Parent or any Affiliate.

This document shall be construed under the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of laws principles.
15. 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 Governance Committee upon any questions relating to the Plan and this document shall be binding, conclusive and final.
16. Section 409A . In no event shall Parent 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.

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 service with Parent or any Affiliate) 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.

Exhibit 10.38b

RESTRICTEDSTOCK01.JPG
TIFFANY & CO.
a Delaware Corporation
TERMS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT
under the
2017 DIRECTORS EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN
(the “Plan”)
Terms Effective November 16, 2017

1. Introduction and Terms of Grant . Participant has been granted (the “Grant”) Restricted Stock Units which shall be settled by the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock (“Shares”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth below. The Grant has been made under the Plan by the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee of the Parent Board (the “Governance Committee”). The “Participant,” “Grant Date” and number of “Restricted 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.

2. Grant and Adjustment . Subject to the terms and conditions stated in this document, Participant has been granted Restricted Stock Units by Parent. As of the Grant Date, each Restricted Stock Unit has a settlement value of one Share, but the number of Shares which shall be issued and delivered pursuant to the Grant on the Maturity Date (the “Settlement Value”) shall be equal to (i) the number of Restricted Stock Units set forth in the Notice of Grant, plus (ii) the number of whole Dividend Equivalent Units credited pursuant to Section 6(b) with respect to such Restricted Stock Units. 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 adjusted pursuant to this Section 2.

3. Vesting. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3 or Section 5 below, Restricted Stock Units granted will vest in full (100%) on the one-year anniversary of the Grant Date. A Restricted Stock Unit shall not vest and will be deemed to have “expired” if Participant’s Director Termination Date occurs before the one-year anniversary of the Grant Date unless such Director Termination Date occurs by reason of death or Disability, in which case the Grant shall vest on said Director Termination Date. A Restricted Stock Unit which fails to vest shall be void and shall not confer upon the owner of such Restricted Stock Unit any rights, including any right to any Share, any Deferred Stock Unit or any Dividend Equivalent Unit.

4. Maturity and Deferred Stock Units. Except as provided in this Section 4 or in Section 5 below, the “Maturity Date” for the Grant shall be the Maturity Date indicated in the Notice of Grant. The Maturity Date shown on the Notice of Grant was elected by Participant by written notice given to the Corporate Secretary of Parent prior to the Grant from amongst one of the following alternative Maturity Dates: (i) the one-year anniversary of the Grant Date; (ii) the six-month anniversary of Participant’s Director Termination Date; or (iii) a date certain, such date to be no earlier than the one-year anniversary of the Grant Date. Participant shall have no right to accelerate or change such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if Participant’s Director Termination Date occurs by reason of death or Director Disability, the Maturity Date shall be said Director Termination Date, and (ii) if Participant’s death occurs after his or her Director Termination Date and before the applicable Maturity Date, the Maturity Date shall be Participant’s date of death. Any Restricted Stock Unit having a Maturity Date after the one-year anniversary of the Grant Date shall, upon vesting, convert to a deferred stock unit (such unit, a “Deferred Stock Unit”). Following the Maturity Date of the Grant, (i) the Settlement Value shall be issued and delivered in Shares, and (ii) any fractional Dividend Equivalent Units credited pursuant to Section 6(b)




with respect to such Grant shall be settled by the delivery of cash, in each case within thirty (30) days to or for the account of Participant.

5 . Effect of Change in Control . A Grant that has not previously expired, vested and/or matured shall vest and mature, as applicable, upon a Change in Control, and the date of such Change in Control shall be the Maturity Date for such Grant.

6.    (a) No Dividends or Interest . No dividends or interest shall accrue or be payable upon any Restricted Stock Unit, Deferred Stock Unit or Dividend Equivalent Unit (each, a “Grant Unit”). Until a Share is issued and delivered it shall not be registered in the name of Participant.

(b) Dividend Equivalent Units. On any date that Parent pays an ordinary cash dividend on its Common Stock (a “Dividend Date”), Participant shall be credited with a number of dividend equivalent units (each, a “Dividend Equivalent Unit”) equal to (i) the product of (A) the number of Deferred Stock Units held by Participant, plus any whole Dividend Equivalent Units previously credited under this Section 6(b), in each case held on the record date immediately prior to the Dividend Date, and (B) the per share cash dividend paid by Parent on the Dividend Date, divided by (ii) the simple arithmetic mean of the high and low sale price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the Dividend Date.

(c) Dividend Equivalent Units credited pursuant to this Section 6 shall not entitle Participant to any cash payment or any delivery of Shares except to the extent provided in Sections 2 and 4 above. No Dividend Equivalent Unit shall be credited for any Restricted Stock Unit that expires or is void pursuant to Section 3, or any Restricted Stock Unit or Deferred Stock Unit that has been settled pursuant to Section 4. For the avoidance of doubt, no dividends or Dividend Equivalent Units will be delivered prior to the Maturity Date.

7. Transferability . Grant Units are not transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a “domestic relations order,” as defined in the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act or the rules thereunder, and shall not otherwise be transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or disposed of in any way, whether by operation of law or otherwise, nor shall the Grant Units be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grant Units 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, (iii) a partnership in which any or all Immediate Family Members are the only partners, or (iv) to a retirement plan for the sole benefit of Participant and/or his Immediate Family Members provided that (x) there may be no consideration paid or otherwise given for any such transfer, and (y) subsequent transfer of the Grant Units is prohibited other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order. Following transfer, the Grant Units shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to transfer. The provisions of Sections 3, 4 and 5 above shall continue to be applied with respect to the original Participant following transfer and the Grant Units shall vest and mature, as applicable, only to the extent specified therein. Upon any attempt to transfer the Grant Units other than as permitted herein or to assign, pledge, hypothecate or dispose of the Grant Units other than as permitted herein, or upon the levy of any execution, attachment or similar process upon the Grant Units, the Grant Units shall immediately terminate and become null and void.

8. Definitions . For the purposes of the Grant, 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.

9. Heirs and Successors . The terms of the Grant 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 Grant by filing written notice with the Corporate Secretary of Parent.

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

11. 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.

12 . 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 of 1933, as amended (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. 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 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.

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 Governance Committee upon any questions relating to the Plan and this document shall be binding, conclusive and final.

16. 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 service that constitute deferred compensation within the meaning of Code Section 409A shall not commence in connection with Participant’s termination of service 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.
