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.

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 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.
