Separately addressed to Prudential Investment Management, Inc. and each of the Purchasers

listed on the attached Schedule A

Ladies and Gentlemen:

TIFFANY & CO., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the “Company”), agrees with Prudential and each Purchaser as follows:

1. BACKGROUND; AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT; AUTHORIZATION OF NOTES.

(a) Background. The Company is currently a party to, and the issuer of notes pursuant to, that certain Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement, dated as of December 23, 2008 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Original Shelf Agreement”), between the Company, Prudential and the Series A Purchasers. Pursuant to the terms of the Original Shelf Agreement, the Company has, among other things, issued and sold to the Series A Purchasers, and the Series A Purchasers have purchased from the Company, 9.05% Series A Senior Notes due December 23, 2015 in the aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000 (the “Original Series A Notes”).

(b) Amendment and Restatement.

(i) Amendment and Restatement of Original Shelf Agreement. Effective upon the Series B Closing Day, this Agreement shall, and hereby does, amend, restate and replace in its entirety the Original Shelf Agreement which, as so amended and restated by this Agreement, continues in full force and effect without rescission or novation thereof. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that the amendments to the Original Shelf Agreement set forth herein could have been effected through a separate document or instrument amending specific terms of the Original Shelf Agreement, and for convenience, the parties hereto have agreed to restate the terms and provisions of the Original Shelf Agreement, as amended hereby, pursuant to this Agreement. Effective upon the Series B Closing Day, the Original Shelf Agreement will no longer have any Original Series A Notes outstanding.

(ii) Amendment and Restatement of Series A Notes. Effective upon the Series B Closing Day, the Original Series A Notes outstanding on the Series B Closing Day are hereby and shall be deemed to be, automatically and without any further action, amended and restated in their entirety in the form of Exhibit 1A (as so amended and restated, and as may be further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Series A Notes”); except that the date, registration number and principal amount set forth in each Original Series A Note shall remain the same; provided, however, that at the request of any holder of Series A Notes, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Series A Note or Series A Notes in the form of such Exhibit 1A in exchange for its Original Series A Note, registered in the name of such holder of Notes, in the aggregate principal amount of the Series A Notes owing to such holder of Notes in accordance with Section 13.2. The terms “Series A Note” and “Series A Notes” as used herein shall include each Series A Note delivered pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and each Series A Note delivered in substitution or exchange for any such Series A Note pursuant to any such provision.

(c) Authorization of Issue of Series B Notes. The Company will authorize the issue of its senior promissory notes (the “Series B Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $150,000,000, to be dated the date of issue thereof, to mature July 25, 2042, to bear interest on the unpaid balance thereof from the date thereof until the principal thereof shall have become due and payable at the rate of 4.40% per annum, and on overdue principal, Make-Whole Amount and interest at the rate specified therein, and to be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1B attached hereto. The terms “Series B Note” and “Series B Notes” as used herein shall include each Series B Note delivered pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and each Series B Note delivered in substitution or exchange for any such Series B Note pursuant to any such provision.

(d) Authorization of Issue of Shelf Notes. The Company will authorize the issue of its additional senior promissory notes (the “Shelf Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $150,000,000 less the aggregate principal amount of Series B Notes issued on the Series B Closing Day, to be dated the date of issue thereof, to have a final maturity date, in the case of each Shelf Note so issued, no more than 12 years after the date of original issuance thereof, to have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity, in the case of each Shelf Note so issued, of no more than 10 years after the date of original issuance thereof, to bear interest on the unpaid balance thereof from the date thereof at the applicable rate per annum, and to have such other particular terms, as shall be set forth, in the case of each Shelf Note so issued, in the Confirmation of Acceptance with respect to such Shelf Note delivered pursuant to Section 2(b)(v), and to be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1C attached hereto. The terms “Shelf Note” and “Shelf Notes” as used herein shall include each Shelf Note delivered pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and each Shelf Note delivered in substitution or exchange for any such Shelf Note pursuant to any such provision. The terms “Note” and “Notes” as used herein shall include each Series A Note, each Series B Note and each Shelf Note delivered pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and each Note delivered in substitution or exchange for any such Note pursuant to any such provision. Notes which have (i) the same final maturity, (ii) the same principal prepayment dates, (iii) the same principal prepayment amounts (as a percentage of the original principal amount of each Note), (iv) the same interest rate, (v) the same interest payment periods and (vi) the same date of issuance (which, in the case of a Note issued in exchange for another Note, shall be deemed for these purposes the date on which such Note’s ultimate predecessor Note was issued), are herein called a “Series” of Notes.

Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Schedule B; references to a “Schedule” or an “Exhibit” are, unless otherwise specified, to a Schedule or an Exhibit attached to this Agreement; and references to a “Section” are, unless otherwise specified, references to a Section of this Agreement.

2. SALE AND PURCHASE OF NOTES.

(a) Purchase and Sale of Series B Notes. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company will issue and sell to the Series B Purchasers and the Series B Purchasers will purchase from the Company, at the Series B Closing Day provided for in Section 3(a), Series B Notes in the principal amounts specified below its name in Schedule A at the purchase price of 100% of the principal amount thereof. The obligations of the Series B Purchasers are several and not joint obligations and no Series B Purchaser shall have any obligation under this Agreement or any liability to any Person for the performance or non-performance by any other Series B Purchaser hereunder.

(b) Purchase and Sale of Shelf Notes.

(i) Facility. Prudential is willing to consider, in its sole discretion and within limits which may be authorized for purchase by Prudential and Prudential Affiliates from time to time, the purchase of Shelf Notes pursuant to this Agreement. The willingness of Prudential to consider such purchase of Shelf Notes is herein called the “Facility”. At any time, the aggregate principal amount of Shelf Notes stated in Section 1(d), minus the aggregate original principal amount of Shelf Notes purchased and sold pursuant to this Agreement prior to such time, minus the aggregate principal amount of Accepted Notes (as hereinafter defined) which have not yet been purchased and sold hereunder prior to such time, is herein called the “Available Facility Amount” at such time. NOTWITHSTANDING THE WILLINGNESS OF PRUDENTIAL TO CONSIDER PURCHASES OF SHELF NOTES, THIS AGREEMENT IS ENTERED INTO ON THE EXPRESS UNDERSTANDING THAT NEITHER PRUDENTIAL NOR ANY PRUDENTIAL AFFILIATE SHALL BE OBLIGATED TO MAKE OR ACCEPT OFFERS TO PURCHASE SHELF NOTES, OR TO QUOTE RATES, SPREADS OR OTHER TERMS WITH RESPECT TO SPECIFIC PURCHASES OF SHELF NOTES, AND THE FACILITY SHALL IN NO WAY BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY PRUDENTIAL OR ANY PRUDENTIAL AFFILIATE.

(ii) Issuance Period. Shelf Notes may be issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement until the earlier of (i) the third anniversary of the date of this Agreement (or if such anniversary is not a Business Day, the Business Day next preceding such anniversary), (ii) the thirtieth (30th) day after Prudential shall have given to the Company, or the Company shall have given to Prudential, written notice stating that Prudential or the Company, as applicable, elects to terminate the issuance and sale of Shelf Notes pursuant to this Agreement (or if such thirtieth (30th) day is not a Business Day, the Business Day next preceding such thirtieth (30th) day) and (iii) the date Prudential shall have given to the Company written notice stating that Prudential elects to terminate the issuance and sale of Shelf Notes pursuant to this Agreement due to the occurrence of any Event of Default or the acceleration of the maturity of any Note. The period during which Shelf Notes may be issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement is herein called the “Issuance Period”.

(iii) Request for Purchase. The Company may from time to time during the Issuance Period make requests for purchases of Shelf Notes (each such request being herein called a “Request for Purchase”). Each Request for Purchase shall be made to Prudential by telefacsimile or overnight delivery service (in accordance with Section 18), and shall (i) specify the aggregate principal amount of Shelf Notes covered thereby, which shall not be less than $10,000,000 and not be greater than the Available Facility Amount at the time such Request for Purchase is made, (ii) specify the principal amounts, final maturities, principal prepayment dates and amounts and interest payment periods (which must be either quarterly or semi-annually in arrears) of the Shelf Notes covered thereby, (iii) specify the use of proceeds of such Shelf Notes, (iv) specify the proposed day for the closing of the purchase and sale of such Shelf Notes, which shall be a Business Day during the Issuance Period not less than ten (10) days and not more than twenty (20) days after the making of such Request for Purchase, (v) specify the number of the account and the name and address of the depository institution to which the purchase prices of such Shelf Notes are to be transferred on the Closing Day for such purchase and sale, (vi) certify that (A) the representations and warranties contained in Section 5 (assuming Schedules 5.4, 5.12 (Part II) and 5.15 attached to such Request for Purchase are substituted for said Schedules originally attached to this Agreement) are true on and as of the date of such Request for Purchase, (B) the proceeds from the sale of such Shelf Notes will not be used for the purpose of funding a Hostile Tender Offer and (C) there exists on the date of such Request for Purchase no Event of Default or Default, and (vii) be substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto. Each Request for Purchase shall be in writing and shall be deemed made when received by Prudential.

(iv) Rate Quotes. Not later than five (5) Business Days after the Company shall have given Prudential a Request for Purchase pursuant to Section 2(b)(iii), Prudential may, but shall be under no obligation to, provide to the Company by telephone or telefacsimile, in each case between 9:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. New York City local time fixed interest rate quotes for the several principal amounts, maturities, principal prepayment schedules, and interest payment periods of Shelf Notes specified in such Request for Purchase (each such interest rate quote provided in response to a Request for Purchase herein called a “Quotation”). Each Quotation shall represent the interest rate per annum payable on the outstanding principal balance of such Shelf Notes at which Prudential or a Prudential Affiliate would be willing to purchase such Shelf Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof.

(v) Acceptance. Within the Acceptance Window in respect to any Quotation, an Authorized Officer of the Company may, subject to Section 2(b)(vi), elect to accept on behalf of the Company such Quotation as to the aggregate principal amount of the Shelf Notes specified in the related Request for Purchase (each such Shelf Note being herein called an “Accepted Note” and such acceptance being herein called an “Acceptance”). The day the Company notifies Prudential of its Acceptance with respect to any Accepted Notes is herein called the “Acceptance Day” for such Accepted Notes. Any Quotation as to which Prudential does not receive an Acceptance within the Acceptance Window in respect of such Quotation shall expire, and no purchase or sale of Shelf Notes hereunder shall be made based on any such expired Quotation. Subject to Section 2(b)(vi) and the other terms and conditions hereof, the Company agrees to sell to Prudential or a Prudential Affiliate, and Prudential agrees to purchase, or to cause the purchase by a Prudential Affiliate of, the Accepted Notes at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes. As soon as practicable following the Acceptance Day, the Company, Prudential and each Prudential Affiliate which is to purchase any such Accepted Notes will execute a confirmation of such Acceptance substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto with respect to such Accepted Notes (herein called a “Confirmation of Acceptance”). If the Company should fail to execute and return to Prudential within three (3) Business Days following receipt thereof a Confirmation of Acceptance with respect to any Accepted Notes, Prudential may at its election at any time prior to its receipt thereof cancel the closing with respect to such Accepted Notes by so notifying the Company in writing.

(vi) Market Disruption. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2(b)(v), any Quotation provided pursuant to Section 2(b)(iv) shall expire if, prior to the time an Acceptance with respect to such Quotation shall have been notified to Prudential in accordance with Section 2(b)(v), the domestic market for U.S. Treasury securities or derivatives shall have closed or there shall have occurred a general suspension, material limitation, or significant disruption of trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or in the domestic market for U.S. Treasury securities or derivatives. No purchase or sale of Shelf Notes hereunder shall be made based on such expired Quotation. If the Company thereafter notifies Prudential of the Acceptance of any such Quotation, such Acceptance shall be ineffective for all purposes of this Agreement, and Prudential shall promptly notify the Company that the provisions of this Section 2(b)(vi) are applicable with respect to such Acceptance.

(c) Fees.

(i) Structuring Fee. In consideration for the time, effort and expense involved in the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement, at the time of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and Prudential, the Company will pay to or as directed by Prudential in immediately available funds a fee (herein called the “Structuring Fee”) in the amount of $50,000.

(ii) Rate Lock Delayed Delivery Fee. If the Series B Closing Day is on or after August 22, 2012, the Company will pay to or as directed by Prudential in immediately available funds the Rate Lock Delayed Delivery Fee.

(iii) Issuance Fee. The Company will pay to each Purchaser in immediately available funds a fee (herein called the “Issuance Fee”) on each Closing Day in an amount equal to 0.10% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes sold to such Purchaser on such Closing Day; provided that there shall be no Issuance Fee with respect to such Notes if the interest rate on such Notes is fixed prior to or within 90 days after the date of this Agreement.

(iv) Delayed Delivery Fee. If the closing of the purchase and sale of any Accepted Note is delayed for any reason beyond the original Closing Day for such Accepted Note, the Company shall pay the Purchaser which shall have agreed to purchase such Accepted Note, on the Cancellation Date or actual Closing Day of such purchase and sale, an amount (the “Delayed Delivery Fee”) equal to the product of (A) the amount determined by Prudential to be the amount by which the bond equivalent yield per annum of such Accepted Note exceeds the investment rate per annum on an alternative investment of the highest quality selected by Prudential and having a maturity date or dates the same as, or closest to, the Rescheduled Closing Day from time to time fixed for the delayed delivery of such Accepted Note, (B) the principal amount of such Accepted Note, and (C) a fraction the numerator of which is equal to the number of actual days elapsed from and including the original Closing Day for such Accepted Note to but excluding the date of such payment, and the denominator of which is 360. In no case shall the Delayed Delivery Fee be less than zero. Nothing contained herein shall obligate any Purchaser to purchase any Accepted Note on any day other than the Closing Day for such Accepted Note, as the same may be rescheduled from time to time in compliance with Section 3(b).

(v) Cancellation Fee. If the Company at any time notifies Prudential in writing that the Company is canceling the closing of the purchase and sale of any Accepted Note, or if Prudential notifies the Company in writing under the circumstances set forth in the penultimate sentence of Section 3(b) that the closing of the purchase and sale of such Accepted Note is to be canceled, or if the closing of the purchase and sale of such Accepted Note is not consummated on or prior to the last day of the Issuance Period (the date of any such notification, or the last day of the Issuance Period, as the case may be, being herein called the “Cancellation Date”), the Company shall pay the Purchaser which shall have agreed to purchase such Accepted Note in immediately available funds on the Cancellation Date an amount (the “Cancellation Fee”) equal to the product of (A) the principal amount of such Accepted Note and (B) the quotient (expressed in decimals) obtained by dividing (I) the excess of the ask price (as determined by Prudential) of the Hedge Treasury Note(s) in respect of such Accepted Note on the Cancellation Date over the bid price (as determined by Prudential) of such Hedge Treasury Note(s) on the (Acceptance Day for such Accepted Note by (II) such bid price, with the foregoing bid and ask prices as reported by TradeWeb LLC (or if such data for any reason ceases to be available through TradeWeb LLC any publicly available source of such market data selected by Prudential) and rounded to the second decimal place. In no case shall the Cancellation Fee be less than zero.

3. CLOSING.

(a) Series B Closing Day. The sale and purchase of the Series B Notes to be purchased by the Series B Purchasers shall occur at the offices of Bingham McCutchen LLP, 339 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10022-4689, at 10:00 a.m., local time, at a closing (the “Series B Closing Day”) on July 25, 2012. At the Series B Closing Day, the Company will deliver to each Series B Purchaser the Notes to be purchased by such Series B Purchaser in the form of a single Note (or such greater number of Notes in denominations of at least $100,000 as such Series B Purchaser may request), dated the date of the Series B Closing Day and registered in the name of such Series B Purchaser (or in the name of its nominee), as indicated in Schedule A, against payment by federal funds wire transfer in immediately available funds of the amount of the purchase price therefor as directed by the Company in Schedule 3. If, at the Series B Closing Day, the Company shall fail to tender such Notes to any Series B Purchaser as provided above in this Section 3(a), or any of the conditions specified in Section 4 shall not have been fulfilled to such Series B Purchaser’s satisfaction, such Series B Purchaser shall, at its election, be relieved of all further obligations under this Agreement, without thereby waiving any rights it may have by reason of such failure or such nonfulfillment.

(b) Facility Closings. Not later than 11:30 a.m. (New York City local time) on the Closing Day for any Accepted Notes, the Company will deliver to each Purchaser listed in the Confirmation of Acceptance relating thereto at the offices of Bingham McCutchen LLP, 339 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10022-4689, or such other place as Prudential may specify, the Accepted Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser in the form of one or more Notes in authorized denominations as such Purchaser may request for each Series of Accepted Notes to be purchased on such Closing Day, dated such Closing Day and registered in such Purchaser’s name (or in the name of its nominee), against payment of the purchase price thereof by transfer of immediately available funds for credit to the Company’s account specified in the Request for Purchase of such Notes. If the Company fails to tender to any Purchaser the Accepted Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser on the scheduled Closing Day for such Accepted Notes as provided above in this Section 3(b), or any of the conditions specified in Section 4 shall not have been fulfilled by the time required on such scheduled Closing Day, the Company shall, prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City local time, on such scheduled Closing Day notify Prudential (which notification shall be deemed received by each Purchaser) in writing whether (i) such closing is to be rescheduled (such rescheduled date to be a Business Day during the Issuance Period not less than one (1) Business Day and not more than ten (10) Business Days after such scheduled Closing Day (the “Rescheduled Closing Day”)) and certify to Prudential (which certification shall be for the benefit of each Purchaser) that the Company reasonably believes that it will be able to comply with the conditions set forth in Section 4 on such Rescheduled Closing Day and that the Company will pay the Delayed Delivery Fee in accordance with Section 2(c)(iv) or (ii) such closing is to be canceled. In the event that the Company shall fail to give such notice referred to in the preceding sentence, Prudential (on behalf of each Purchaser) may at its election, at any time after 1:00 p.m., New York City local time, on such scheduled Closing Day, notify the Company in writing that such closing is to be canceled. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary appearing in this Agreement, the Company may not elect to reschedule a closing with respect to any given Accepted Notes on more than one occasion, unless Prudential shall have otherwise consented thereto in writing.

4. CONDITIONS TO CLOSING.

The obligation of (a) each Purchaser to purchase and pay for the Notes to be sold to such Purchaser on each Closing Day in respect of the Notes to be acquired by such Purchaser and (b) each Series A Purchaser to agree to the amendments and restatements provided in Section 1.2, is subject to the fulfillment to its satisfaction, prior to or at (i) such Closing Day, in the case of any Purchaser purchasing Notes on such Closing Day, and (ii) the Series B Closing Day, in the case of any Series A Purchaser, in each case with respect to clauses (a) and (b), of the following conditions:

The Company will give each holder of Notes of a Series to be prepaid written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 8.3 not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify such prepayment date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note held by such holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 8.4), and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate signed by a Senior Financial Officer as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation.

8.4. Allocation of Partial Prepayments.

In the case of each partial optional prepayment of any Series of Notes, the principal amount of the Notes of such Series to be prepaid shall be applied (a) in the case of the Series A Notes, to the payment due at maturity, (b) in the case of the Series B Notes, to each required payment or prepayment of principal pursuant to Section 8.2(b) (including the principal payment due at final maturity) such that each such required payment or prepayment of principal shall be reduced in the same proportion as the aggregate original principal amount of the Series B Notes is reduced as a result of such prepayment, and (c) in the case of any other Series of Notes, as provided in the Confirmation of Acceptance for such Series of Notes and, if not so provided, the required payments on such Notes in inverse order of maturity. In the case of each partial optional or required prepayment of the Notes of any Series, the principal amount of the Notes of such Series to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes of such Series at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment.

8.5. Maturity; Surrender, etc.

In the case of each prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment, together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note.

8.6. No Other Optional Prepayments or Purchase of Notes.

The Company will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment, prepayment or purchase of Notes pursuant to any provision of this Section 8 and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes.

8.7. Make-Whole Amount.

The term “Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Called Principal” means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.3 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the sum of 0.50% per annum plus the yield to maturity implied by (a) the yields reported, as of 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as Page “PX1” on the Bloomberg Financial Market Service (or such other display as may replace Page “PX1” on the Bloomberg Financial Market Service) for actively traded U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date, or (b) if such yields are not reported as of such time or the yields reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), the Treasury Constant Maturity Series Yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) (or any comparable successor publication) for actively traded U.S. Treasury securities having a constant maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. Such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by (i) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond-equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (ii) interpolating linearly between (A) the actively traded U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and greater than the Remaining Average Life and (B) the actively traded U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and less than the Remaining Average Life.

“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) obtained by dividing (a) such Called Principal into (b) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (i) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (ii) the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the terms of such Note, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.3 or 12.1.

“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.3 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

9. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.

9.2. Insurance.

The Company will and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to their respective properties and businesses against such casualties and contingencies, of such types, on such terms and in such amounts (including deductibles, co-insurance and self-insurance, if adequate reserves are maintained with respect thereto) as is customary in the case of entities of established reputations engaged in the same or a similar business and similarly situated.

9.3. Maintenance of Properties.

The Company will and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain and keep, or cause to be maintained and kept, their respective properties in good repair, working order and condition (other than ordinary wear and tear), so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times, provided that this Section shall not prevent the Company or any Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation and the maintenance of any of its properties if the Company has concluded that such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business and that such discontinuance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

9.4. Payment of Taxes and Claims.

10.2. Line of Business.

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, engage in any business if, as a result, the general nature of the business in which the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, would then be engaged would be substantially changed from the general nature of the business in which the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are engaged on the date of this Agreement as described in the Company’s then most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, except for vertical, horizontal or geographical expansion of any such business so engaged in, whether under the Tiffany & Co. name or any other name.

(A) no Default or Event of Default would exist, and

(B) the successor or surviving corporation would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt by the provisions of Section 10.3(a) and at least $1.00 of additional Priority Debt by the provisions of Section 10.3(b) (in each case, other than Debt owing to the Company or a Subsidiary), and

(ii) in the case of any consolidation or merger in which the successor or surviving corporation is not a Subsidiary, such transaction would be permitted under the provisions of Section 10.6(a)(iii) (deeming such consolidation or merger to be a Transfer of all of the assets and liabilities of such Subsidiary) and immediately after, and after giving effect to, such transaction, no Default or Event of Default would exist; and

10.6. Sale of Assets.

(a) Sale of Assets. The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, make any Transfer, provided that the foregoing restriction does not apply to a Transfer if:

(i) the property that is the subject of such Transfer constitutes either (A) inventory held for sale, or (B) equipment, fixtures, supplies or materials no longer required, in the opinion of the Company or such Subsidiary, in the operation of the business of the Company or such Subsidiary or that is obsolete, and, in the case of any Transfer described in clause (A) or clause (B), such Transfer is in the ordinary course of business (an “Ordinary Course Transfer”); or

(ii) either

(A) such Transfer is from a Subsidiary to the Company or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary;

(B) such Transfer is from the Company to a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary; or

so long as immediately before and immediately after the consummation of such transaction, and after giving effect thereto,

(I) no Default or Event of Default exists or would exist, and

(II) the Company would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt by the provisions of Section 10.3(a) and at least $1.00 of additional Priority Debt by the provisions of Section 10.3(b) (in each case other than Debt owing to the Company or a Subsidiary)

(each such Transfer, collectively with any Ordinary Course Transfers, “Excluded Transfers”); or

(iii) such Transfer is not an Excluded Transfer and does not involve a Substantial Portion of the property of the Company and its Subsidiaries, so long as immediately before and immediately after the consummation of such transaction, and after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default exists or would exist.

(b) Debt Prepayment Applications and Reinvested Transfers.

(i) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.6(a), the determination of whether a Transfer involves a Substantial Portion of the property of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as provided in Section 10.6(a)(iii) and Section 10.6(c)(iii), shall be made without taking into account the same proportion of the book value attributable to the property subject to such Transfer as shall be equal to the proportion (the “Designated Portion”) of the Net Asset Sale Proceeds Amount with respect to such Transfer to be applied to either a Debt Prepayment Application with respect to such Transfer or the acquisition of assets of at least equivalent value that are similar to the assets which were the subject of such Transfer (a “Reinvested Transfer”) within 365 days of the consummation of such Transfer, as specified in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to each holder of Notes prior to, or contemporaneously with, the consummation of such Transfer.

(ii) If, notwithstanding the certificate referred to in the foregoing clause (i), the Company shall fail to apply the entire amount of the Designated Portion as specified in such certificate within the period stated in Section 10.6(b)(i), the computation of whether such Transfer involved a Substantial Portion of the property of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be recomputed, as of the date of such Transfer, by taking into account the same proportion of the book value attributable to the property subject to such Transfer as shall be equal to the proportion of the Net Asset Sale Proceeds Amount actually applied to either a Debt Prepayment Application or a Reinvested Transfer within such period. If, upon the recomputation provided for in the preceding sentence, such Transfer involved a Substantial Portion of the property of the Company and the Subsidiaries, an Event of Default shall be deemed to have existed as of the expiration of such period.

(c) Certain Definitions. The following terms have the following meanings:

(i) “Debt Prepayment Application” means, with respect to any Transfer of property by the Company or any Subsidiary, the application by the Company or such Subsidiary of cash in an amount equal to the Net Asset Sale Proceeds Amount with respect to such Transfer to pay Senior Debt of the Company or such Subsidiary (other than Senior Debt owing to any of the Subsidiaries or any Affiliate and Senior Debt in respect of any revolving credit or similar facility providing the Company or such Subsidiary with the right to obtain loans or other extensions of credit from time to time, except to the extent that in connection with such payment of Senior Debt the availability of credit under such credit facility is permanently reduced by an amount not less than the amount of such proceeds applied to the payment of such Senior Debt), provided that in the course of making such application the Company shall offer to prepay each outstanding Note in accordance with Section 8.3 in a principal amount that equals the Ratable Portion for such Note. A holder of Notes may accept or reject such offer to prepay by causing a notice of such acceptance or rejection to be delivered to the Company at least two Business Days prior to the prepayment date specified by the Company in such offer. If a holder of Notes has not responded to such offer by a date which is at least two Business Days prior to such specified prepayment date, such holder shall be deemed to have accepted such offer of prepayment. If any holder of a Note rejects such offer of prepayment, then, for purposes of the preceding sentence only, the Company nevertheless will be deemed to have paid Senior Debt in an amount equal to the Ratable Portion for such Note.

As used in this definition,

“Ratable Portion” means, for any Note, an amount equal to the product of

(A) the Net Asset Sale Proceeds Amount being so offered to be applied to the payment of Senior Debt, multiplied by

(B) a fraction the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of such Note and the denominator of which is the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Senior Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries, after eliminating all offsetting debits and credits between the Company and its Subsidiaries and all other items required to be eliminated in the course of the preparation of consolidated financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP.

(ii) “Disposition Value” means, at any time, with respect to any Transfer of property,

(A) in the case of property that does not constitute Capital Stock of a Subsidiary, the book value thereof, valued at the amount taken into account (or which would be taken into account) in the consolidated balance sheet of the Company then most recently required to have been delivered to the holders pursuant to Section 7.1, and

(B) in the case of property that constitutes Capital Stock of a Subsidiary, an amount equal to that percentage of the book value of the assets of the Subsidiary that issued such Capital Stock as is equal to the percentage that the book value of such Capital Stock represents of the book value of all of the outstanding Capital Stock of such Subsidiary (assuming, in making such calculations, that all securities convertible into such Capital Stock are so converted and giving full effect to all transactions that would occur or be required in connection with such conversion), determined as of the date of the balance sheet referred to in the foregoing clause (A).

(iii) “Substantial Portion” means, at any time, any property subject to a Transfer if

(A) the Disposition Value of such property, when added to the Disposition Value of all other property of the Company and its Subsidiaries that shall have been the subject of a Transfer (other than an Excluded Transfer and subject, with respect to both such property and all such other property, to the provisions of Section 10.6(b)) during the then current fiscal year of the Company, exceeds an amount equal to 15% of Consolidated Total Assets as reflected (or as would be reflected) in the consolidated balance sheet of the Company then most recently required to have been delivered to the holders pursuant to Section 7.1, or

(B) the Disposition Value of such property, when added to the Disposition Value of all other property of the Company and its Subsidiaries that shall have been the subject of a Transfer (other than an Excluded Transfer and subject, with respect to both such property and all such other property, to the provisions of Section 10.6(b)) during the period beginning on (x) for any such Transfer consummated on or prior to the eighth (8^th) anniversary of the date of the Series A Closing Day, the date of the Series A Closing Day, or (y) for any such Transfer consummated after the eighth (8^th) anniversary of the date of the Series A Closing Day, the date 8 years prior to the date of the consummation of such Transfer, and in each case ending on and including the date of the consummation of such Transfer, exceeds an amount equal to 30% of Consolidated Total Assets as reflected (or as would be reflected) in the consolidated balance sheet of the Company then most recently required to have been delivered to the holders pursuant to Section 7.1.

(iv) “Transfer” means, with respect to any Person, any transaction in which such Person sells, conveys, transfers or leases (as lessor) any of its property, including, without limitation, Capital Stock of any other Person, but does not include any such transaction subject to the provisions of Section 10.5 (other than Section 10.5(b)(ii)).

10.7. Most Favored Lender Status.

(a) If the Company agrees to any addition, amendment, waiver, deletion, termination or other modification of any affirmative or negative covenant, default, event of default or comparable provision (however named or designated) set forth in the Credit Agreement then in effect (a “Credit Agreement Modification”) which is more or less restrictive on the Company or any Subsidiary than the provisions contained in this Agreement, then the Company shall, within five (5) Business Days of each such Credit Agreement Modification which shall have occurred after the Series A Closing Day, provide a notice to the holders of the Notes in respect of each such Credit Agreement Modification. Each of the provisions set forth on Schedule 10.7 are on the date hereof (and immediately upon the effectiveness of a Credit Agreement Modification which shall have occurred after the date hereof, the terms of such Credit Agreement Modification shall be automatically) incorporated by reference into this Agreement (each such Credit Agreement Modification and each of the provisions set forth on Schedule 10.7 as so incorporated is herein referred to as an “Incorporated Provision”)), mutatis mutandis, as if set forth fully herein; provided, that at any time as a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Credit Agreement Modification which is less restrictive on the Company or any Subsidiary will be deemed incorporated into this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, which written consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall an Incorporated Provision (i) amend or modify any provision otherwise set forth herein to make such provision less restrictive as to the Company or any Subsidiary than the corresponding provision set forth in this Agreement, as amended from time to time (without giving effect to this Section 10.7), or (ii) delete the parenthetical phrase set forth in Section 10.4(i).

(b) Except as contemplated by Section 10.7(a), no Incorporated Provision shall be modified unless such Incorporated Provision is amended or waived in accordance with the provisions of Section 17 and then only to the extent of such amendment or waiver.

(c) In connection with any Credit Agreement Modification, the Company and the Required Holders agree within 30 days of the written request of either the Company or the Required Holders, to enter into a formal amendment to this Agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders, acting reasonably, to document the applicable amendments to this Agreement arising from any such Credit Agreement Modification. If any fee, supplemental or additional interest or other consideration is given to any lender under a Credit Agreement Modification as consideration for or as an inducement to enter into any Credit Agreement Modification, the equivalent of such fee, supplemental or additional interest or other consideration shall be paid to the holders of the Notes with respect to such Credit Agreement Modification that is incorporated into this Agreement at the same time as such fee, supplemental or additional interest or other consideration is paid to such lender. For the avoidance of doubt, the amount of any payment (whether as fee or interest) to any holder of Notes then being made shall be deemed equivalent to any similar payment under the Credit Agreement if such payment to such holder of Notes represents the same percentage of the then outstanding principal amount of such Notes as the percentage of all then outstanding Debt under the Credit Agreement represented by the aggregate amount of such similar payments under the Credit Agreement.

10.8. Terrorism Sanctions Regulations.

The Company will not and will not permit any Controlled Entity to (a) become a Blocked Person or (b) have any investments in or engage in any dealings or transactions with any Blocked Person if such investments, dealings or transactions would reasonably be expected to cause any holder of a Note to be in violation of any laws or regulations that are applicable to such holder.

12. REMEDIES ON DEFAULT, ETC.

12.1. Acceleration.

(a) If an Event of Default with respect to the Company described in paragraph (g) or paragraph (h) of Section 11 (other than an Event of Default described in clause (i) of paragraph (g) or described in clause (vi) of paragraph (g) by virtue of the fact that such clause encompasses clause (i) of paragraph (g)) has occurred, all the Notes then outstanding shall automatically become immediately due and payable.

(b) If any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders of more than 50% in principal amount of the Notes of any Series at the time outstanding may at any time at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes of such Series then outstanding to be immediately due and payable.

(c) If any Event of Default described in paragraph (a) or (b) of Section 11 has occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders of Notes at the time outstanding affected by such Event of Default may at any time, at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes held by it or them to be immediately due and payable.

Upon any Notes becoming due and payable under this Section 12.1, whether automatically or by declaration, such Notes will forthwith mature and the entire unpaid principal amount of such Notes, plus (x) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and (y) the Make-Whole Amount determined in respect of such principal amount (to the full extent permitted by applicable law), shall all be immediately due and payable, in each and every case without presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived. The Company acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment by the Company (except as herein specifically provided for) and that the provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount by the Company in the event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances.

12.2. Other Remedies.

If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately due and payable under Section 12.1, the holder of any Note at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained in any Financing Document, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted thereby or by law or otherwise.

12.3. Rescission.

At any time after any Notes of a Series have been declared due and payable pursuant to clause (b) or clause (c) of Section 12.1, the holders of not less than 66-2/3% in principal amount of the Notes of such Series then outstanding, by written notice to the Company, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Company has paid all overdue interest on such Notes, all principal of and Make-Whole Amount, if any, due and payable on such Notes other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and Make-Whole Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of such Notes, at the Default Rate, (b) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been’ waived pursuant to Section 17, and (c) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due pursuant hereto or to such Notes. No rescission and annulment under this Section 12.3 will extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by any Financing Document upon any holder of any Note shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Company under Section 15, the Company will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such holder incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements.

13. REGISTRATION; EXCHANGE; SUBSTITUTION OF NOTES.

13.1. Registration of Notes.

Each such new Note shall be payable to such Person as such holder may request and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit lA, Exhibit 1B or Exhibit 1C, as the case may be. Each such new Note shall be dated and bear interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or dated the date of the surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.

(a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (provided that if the holder of such Note is, or is a nominee for, an original purchaser or a Qualified Institutional Buyer, such Person’s own unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or

(b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof,

the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note of such Series, dated and bearing interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.

14.2. Home Office Payment.

So long as any Purchaser or its nominee shall be the holder of any Note, and notwithstanding anything contained in Section 14.1 or in such Note to the contrary, the Company will pay all sums becoming due on such Note for principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest by (i) the method and at the address specified for such purpose below such Purchaser’s name in Schedule A (in the case of any Series A Note or any Series B Note) or the Purchaser Schedule attached to the applicable Confirmation of Acceptance (in the case of any Shelf Notes) or (ii) such other method or at such other address as such Purchaser shall have from time to time specified to the Company in writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of such Note or the making of any notation thereon, except that upon payment or prepayment in full of any Note, such Purchaser shall promptly surrender such Note for cancellation to the Company at its principal executive office or at the place of payment most recently designated by the Company pursuant to Section 14.1. Prior to any sale or other disposition of any Note held by any Purchaser or its nominee, such Purchaser will, at its election, either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to which interest has been paid thereon or surrender such Note to the Company in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 13.2. The Company will afford the benefits of this Section 14.2 to any Qualified Institutional Buyer or Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by any Purchaser under this Agreement and that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as such Purchaser has made in this Section 14.2.

15. EXPENSES, ETC.

Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Company will pay all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees of one special counsel for all Purchasers and holders of Notes and, if reasonably required, one local counsel in each jurisdiction where such counsel is so required) incurred by each Purchaser or holder of a Note in connection with such transactions and in connection with any amendments, waivers or consents under or in respect of the Financing Documents (whether or not such amendment, waiver or consent becomes effective), including, without limitation: (a) the costs and expenses incurred in enforcing or defending (or determining whether or how to enforce or defend) any rights under the Financing Documents or in responding to any subpoena or other legal process or informal investigative demand issued in connection with the Financing Documents, or by reason of being a holder of any Note, and (b) the costs and expenses, including financial advisors’ fees, incurred in connection with the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or any Subsidiary or in connection with any work-out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated by the Financing Documents.

All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument or writing delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to any Financing Document shall be deemed representations and warranties of the Company under this Agreement.

This Agreement and the Notes may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof or of the Notes may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), with (and only with) the written consent of the Company and the Required Holders, except that (a) no amendment or waiver of any of the provisions of any of Sections l, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 21, or any defined term (as it is used therein), will be effective as to a Purchaser unless consented to by such Purchaser in writing, and (b) no such amendment or waiver may, without the written consent of the holder of each Note at the time outstanding affected thereby, (i) subject to the provisions of Section 12 relating to acceleration or rescission, change the amount or time of any prepayment or payment of principal of, or reduce the rate or change the time of payment or method of computation of interest or of the Make-Whole Amount on, the Notes, (ii) change the percentage of the principal amount of the Notes the holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or waiver, or (iii) amend any of Sections 8, 11(a), 11(b), 12, 14.2, 17 and 20.

17.2. Solicitation of Holders of Notes.

(a) Solicitation. The Company will provide each holder of the Notes (irrespective of the amount of Notes then owned by it) with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof or of the Notes. The Company will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 17 to each holder of outstanding Notes promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite holders of Notes.

(b) Payment. The Company will not directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security, to any holder of Notes as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by any holder of Notes of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted, on the same terms, ratably to each holder of Notes then outstanding even if such holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment.

(c) Consent in Contemplation of Transfer. Any consent made pursuant to this Section 17 by a holder of Notes that has transferred or has agreed to transfer its Notes to the Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of the Company and has provided or has agreed to provide such written consent as a condition to such transfer shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder, and any amendments effected or waivers granted or to be effected or granted that would not have been or would not be so effected or granted but for such consent (and the consents of all other holders of Notes that were acquired under the same or similar conditions) shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder.

17.3. Binding Effect, etc.

Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 17 applies equally to all holders of Notes and is binding upon them and upon each future holder of any Note and upon the Company without regard to whether such Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between the Company and the holder of any Note nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any holder of such Note. As used herein, the term “this Agreement” and references thereto shall mean this Agreement as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented.

17.4. Notes held by Company, etc.

Solely for the purpose of determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under any of the Financing Documents, or have directed the taking of any action provided in any of the Financing Documents to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, Notes directly or indirectly owned by the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding.

This Section 19 shall not prohibit the Company or any other holder of Notes from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction.

20. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

For the purposes of this Section 20, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary in nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by such Purchaser as being confidential information of the Company or such Subsidiary, provided that such term does not include information that

(b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Purchaser or any person acting on such Purchaser’s behalf,

(d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser under Section 7.1 that are otherwise publicly available.

(i) its directors, officers, trustees, employees, agents, attorneys and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by its Notes),

(ii) its financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section 20,

(iii) any other holder of any Note,

(iv) any Institutional Investor to which such Purchaser sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 20),

(v) any Person from which such Purchaser offers to purchase any security of the Company (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 20),

(vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser,

(vii) the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Purchaser’s investment portfolio or

(viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate

(A) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser,

(B) in response to any subpoena or other legal process,

(D) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under the Financing Documents.

Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 20 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by the Company in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Company embodying the provisions of this Section 20.

21. SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER.

Each Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates as the purchaser of the Notes that such Purchaser has agreed to purchase hereunder, by written notice to the Company, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser and such Affiliate, shall contain such Affiliate’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Affiliate of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6.

22. MISCELLANEOUS

22.1. Successors and Assigns.

All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any subsequent holder of a Note) whether so expressed or not.

Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, any payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount or interest on any Note that is due on a date (including, without limitation, the final maturity date of the Notes) other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day, except in the case of a payment on the final maturity date which shall include such additional days in such computation but shall not include the date on which such payment is received.

22.3. Severability.

Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

22.4. Construction.

(a) Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.

(b) Any provision of this Agreement providing for any amount to be determined in accordance with GAAP (including, without limitation, determining compliance with the financial covenants contained in this Agreement, including any Incorporated Provision) shall disregard any election by the Company or any Subsidiary to measure an item of Indebtedness using fair value (as permitted by the Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (Topic 820) or any similar accounting standard) and such determination shall be made instead using the par value of such Indebtedness.

22.5. Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto.

22.6. Governing Law.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK EXCLUDING CHOICE-OF-LAW PRINCIPLES OF THE LAW OF SUCH STATE THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN SUCH STATE.

In furtherance of the foregoing, if an Event of Default shall exist, the Guarantied Obligations shall, in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Note Purchase Agreement for the acceleration of the Notes, forthwith become due and payable without notice, regardless of whether the acceleration of the Notes shall be stayed, enjoined, delayed or otherwise prevented.

Exhibit 4.6(a)

Page 7

2.5. Certain Waivers of Subrogation, Reimbursement and Indemnity.

Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) no Guarantor shall have any right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, or indemnity whatsoever in respect of the Guarantied Obligations, and no right of recourse to or with respect to any assets or property of the Company;

(b) no Guarantor will file any claims against the Company or the estate of the Company in the course of any proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law in respect of the rights referred to in this Section 2.5; and

2.6. Indemnity.

As a separate, additional and continuing obligation, each Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes and agrees with the Noteholders that, should the Guarantied Obligations not be recoverable from any Guarantor for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, by reason of any provision of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Notes or any other agreement or instrument executed in connection therewith being or becoming void, unenforceable or otherwise invalid under any applicable law) then, notwithstanding any knowledge thereof by any Noteholder at any time, each Guarantor as sole, original and independent obligor, upon demand by the Noteholders, will make payment of the Guarantied Obligations to the Noteholders by way of a full indemnity in such currency and otherwise in such manner as is provided in the Note Purchase Agreement and the Notes.

2.7. Invalid Payments.

Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the Company makes a payment or payments to any Noteholder, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required, for any of the foregoing reasons or for any other reason, to be repaid or paid over to a custodian, trustee, receiver or any other party or officer under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation law of any jurisdiction, state or federal law, or any common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or repayment, the obligation or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment had not been made and each Guarantor shall be primarily liable for such obligation.

2.8. Marshaling.

Each Guarantor consents and agrees that each Noteholder, and each Person acting for the benefit of each Noteholder, shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Guarantor or against or in payment of any or all of the Guarantied Obligations.

Exhibit 4.6(a)

Page 8

2.9. Subordination, Subrogation, Etc.

Each Guarantor agrees that any present or future indebtedness, obligations or liabilities of the Company to any Guarantor shall be fully subordinate and junior in right and priority of payment to any present or future indebtedness, obligations or liabilities of the Company to the Noteholders. Each Guarantor waives any right of subrogation to the rights of the Noteholders against the Company or any other Person obligated for payment of the Guarantied Obligations and any right of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity whatsoever (including, without limitation, any such right as against any other guarantor) arising or accruing out of any payment that any Guarantor may make pursuant to this Guaranty, and any right of recourse to security for the debts and obligations of the Company, unless and until the entire amount of the Guarantied Obligations shall have been paid in full.

2.10. Subordination of Affiliate Obligations.

In the event that, for any reason whatsoever, the Company or a Person obligated in respect of the Guarantied Obligations pursuant to another guaranty, is now or hereafter becomes indebted to any Guarantor in any manner (an “Affiliate Obligation”), such Guarantor agrees that the amount of such Affiliate Obligation, interest thereon, and all other amounts due with respect thereto, shall, at all times during the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, be subordinate as to time of payment and in all other respects to all the Guarantied Obligations, and that such Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or receive payment thereof until all sums then due and owing to the Noteholders in respect of the Guarantied Obligations shall have been paid in full, except that such Guarantor may enforce any obligations in respect of any such Affiliate Obligation owing to such Guarantor from the Company or such indebted Person so long as all proceeds in respect of any recovery from such enforcement, to the extent of all amounts owing with respect to this Guaranty, shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the benefit of the Noteholders. If any other payment, other than pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, shall have been made to any Guarantor by the Company or such indebted Person on any such Affiliate Obligation during any time that a Default or an Event of Default exists and there are Guarantied Obligations outstanding, such Guarantor shall hold in trust all such payments, to the extent of all amounts owing with respect to this Guaranty, for the benefit of the Noteholders.

2.11. Set-off, Counterclaim or Other Deductions.

Except as otherwise required by law, each payment by any Guarantor shall be made without set-off, counterclaim or other deduction.

2.12. Election by Guarantors to Perform Obligations.

Any election by any Guarantor to pay or otherwise perform any of the obligations of the Company under the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement or any agreement or instrument related hereto shall not release the Company, such Guarantor or any other guarantor from such obligations or any of such Person’s other obligations under the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement or any agreement or instrument related hereto.

Exhibit 4.6(a)

Page 9

2.13. No Election of Remedies by Noteholders.

Each Noteholder shall, individually or collectively, have the right to seek recourse against any Guarantor to the fullest extent provided for herein for such Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty in respect of the Guarantied Obligations. No election to proceed in one form of action or proceeding, or against any party, or on any obligation, shall constitute a waiver of such Noteholder’s right to proceed in any other form of action or proceeding or against other parties unless such Noteholder has expressly waived such right in writing. Specifically, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no action or proceeding by any Noteholder against the Company or any Guarantor under any document or instrument evidencing obligations of the Company or any Guarantor to such Noteholder shall serve to diminish the liability of any Guarantor under this Guaranty, except to the extent that such Noteholder finally and unconditionally shall have realized payment by such action or proceeding.

2.14. Separate Action; Other Enforcement Rights.

Each of the rights and remedies granted under this Guaranty to each Noteholder in respect of the Notes held by such Noteholder may be exercised by such Noteholder with notice by such Noteholder to, but without the consent of or any other action by, any other Noteholder; provided, however, that the maturity of the Notes may only be accelerated in accordance with the provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement or operation of law. Each Noteholder may proceed to protect and enforce the Unconditional Guaranty by suit or suits or proceedings in equity, at law or in bankruptcy, and whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained herein or in execution or aid of any power herein granted or for the recovery of judgment for the obligations hereby guarantied or for the enforcement of any other proper, legal or equitable remedy available under applicable law.

2.15. Noteholder Set-off.

Each Noteholder shall have, to the fullest extent permitted by law and this Guaranty, a right of set-off against any and all credits and any and all other property of any or all of the Guarantors or any other Person, now or at any time whatsoever, with or in the possession of, such Noteholder, or anyone acting for such Noteholder, to ensure the full performance of any and all obligations of each Guarantor hereunder.

2.16. Delay or Omission; No Waiver.

No course of dealing on the part of any Noteholder and no delay or failure on the part of any such Person to exercise any right hereunder shall impair such right or operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice such Person’s rights, powers and remedies hereunder. Every right and remedy given by the Unconditional Guaranty or by law to any Noteholder may be exercised from time to time as often as may be deemed expedient by such Person.

2.17. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

If any Noteholder shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under the Unconditional Guaranty or under any Note held by such Noteholder, and such proceeding shall have been dismissed, discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to such Noteholder, then and in every such case each such Noteholder, the Company and each Guarantor shall, except as may be limited or affected by any determination (including, without limitation, any determination in connection with any such dismissal) in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to its respective former positions hereunder and thereunder, and thereafter, subject as aforesaid, the rights and remedies of such Noteholders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Exhibit 4.6(a)

Page 10

2.18. Cumulative Remedies.

No remedy under this Guaranty, the Note Purchase Agreement or the Notes is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, but each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any and every other remedy given pursuant to this Guaranty, the Note Purchase Agreement or the Notes.

2.19. Notices in Respect of Payments.
