(d)if applicable, forfeit and lose any and all rights to any current or future Benefit (as defined in the Excess Plan) under the Excess Plan.   

5.      Enforcement.

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

(b)In the event of breach or threatened breach by Participant of the provisions set forth in this instrument, Participant acknowledges that Tiffany will be irreparably harmed and that monetary damages (including loss of the Benefit) shall be an insufficient remedy to Tiffany. Therefore, Participant consents to the enforcement of this instrument by means of temporary or permanent injunction and other appropriate equitable relief in any competent court, without Tiffany being required to post a bond or other security, in addition to any other remedies Tiffany may have under this instrument, applicable law or otherwise.

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 

Form of Non-Competition and Confidentiality Covenants, January 19, 2017
6

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.

(f)A Notice is effective only if the person giving the Notice has complied with subsections (d) and (e) and if the recipient has received the Notice. A Notice is deemed to have been received upon receipt as indicated by the date on the signed receipt; provided, however, that if the recipient rejects or otherwise refuses to accept the Notice, or if the Notice cannot be delivered because of a change in address for which no Notice was given, then upon such rejection, refusal or inability to deliver, such Notice will be deemed to have been received.  If any Notice is received after 5:00 p.m.on a business day where the recipient is located, or on a day that is not a business day where the recipient is located, then the Notice shall be deemed received at 9:00 a.m. on the next business day where the recipient is located.

(g)This instrument shall not be amended except by a subsequent written instrument that has been executed by Participant and on behalf of Tiffany by a duly authorized officer of Tiffany. Participant’s obligations under this instrument may not be waived, except pursuant to a writing executed on behalf of Tiffany or as otherwise provided in Section 6 above.

(h)All prior and contemporaneous negotiations, agreements between the parties or instruments executed by Participant concerning post-employment restrictive covenants applicable to Participant are expressly merged into and superseded by this instrument; provided, however, that in the event Participant is subject to restrictive covenants set forth in an individual employment or similar agreement, such covenants shall remain in force and effect and, to the extent there is a conflict between the preexisting covenants and the covenants set forth herein, the covenants set forth herein shall supersede and govern only with respect to application and enforcement of the provisions set forth in Section 4 above.

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

1.    Introduction and Terms of Option.  Participant has been granted a Non-Qualified Stock Option Award (the “Option”) to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Plan by the Committee.  The name of “Participant,” the “Grant Date,” the number of “Covered Shares,” the “Maturity Date(s)” and the “Exercise Price” per share are stated in the attached “Notice of Grant.”  The other terms and conditions of the Option are stated in this document and in the Plan.  If Participant has the title of Vice President or a more senior title, this award will be void unless Participant executes and delivers to Parent those certain Non-Competition and Confidentiality Covenants in the form approved by the Committee within 180 days after the Grant Date.  

2.    Award and Exercise Price; Option Not An Incentive Stock Option.  Subject to the terms and conditions stated in this document, the Option gives Participant the right to purchase the Covered Shares from Parent at the Exercise Price.  The Option is not intended to constitute an “incentive stock option” as that term is used in the Code.

3.    Earliest Dates for Exercise - Cumulative Installments.  Unless otherwise provided herein, the Option shall become exercisable (“mature”) in a single installment on the Maturity Date or in cumulative installments on the Maturity Dates, in each case as specified in the Notice of Grant.  If the Notice of Grant provides for multiple Maturity Dates, once an installment of the Option matures, it shall continue to be exercisable with all prior installments on a cumulative basis until the Expiration Date, subject to earlier termination as provided herein.  

4.    Expiration Date.  No portion of the Option, whether matured or not, shall be exercisable following the Expiration Date. Unless otherwise provided herein, the “Expiration Date” shall be the ten-year anniversary of the Grant Date.  

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

(a)Generally. Unless otherwise provided in this Section 5, upon Participant’s Termination Date (i) any installment of the Option that has not yet matured as of the Termination Date shall not mature and shall be null and void; and (ii) the Expiration Date for any matured installment of the Option shall be three months from the Termination Date (but in no event later than the ten-year anniversary of the Grant Date).

(b)Termination due to death or Disability.  If Participant’s Termination Date occurs by reason of death or Disability, then in each case all installments of the Option that have not yet matured shall mature on the Termination Date, and the Expiration Date for all matured installments of the 

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

(c)Termination due to Retirement.  If Participant’s Termination Date occurs by reason of Retirement, then (i) provided the Grant Date was at least six months prior to the Termination Date, all outstanding installments of the Option shall mature on the Maturity Dates specified in the Notice of Grant, and (ii) the Expiration Date for any matured installment of the Option shall be five years from the Termination Date (but in no event later than the ten-year anniversary of the Grant Date).  

(d)Termination due to Eligible Termination. If Participant’s Termination Date occurs by reason of Eligible Termination, then (i) provided the Grant Date was at least six months prior to the Termination Date, all outstanding installments of the Option shall mature on the Maturity Dates specified in the Notice of Grant, and (ii) the Expiration Date for any matured installment of the Option shall be five years from the Termination Date (but in no event later than the ten-year anniversary of the Grant Date).  

(e)Termination for Cause. If Participant’s Termination Date occurs by reason of involuntary termination for Cause, any installment of the Option that has not yet matured shall not mature and shall be null and void; and the Expiration Date shall be the Termination Date.

(f)Effect of Change in Control.  Upon the earlier of (i) the occurrence of a Change in Control that is a Terminating Transaction, or (ii) Participant’s Involuntary Termination, all installments of the Option that have not yet matured shall mature. 

7. Methods of Option Exercise.  

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

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

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

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

Tiffany & Co. 2014 Employee Incentive Plan, Option Terms, January 19, 2017
2

Committee approves other methods of withholding, as provided for in the Plan, before the Option is exercised.

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

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

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

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

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

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

15.  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 

Tiffany & Co. 2014 Employee Incentive Plan, Option Terms, January 19, 2017

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

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

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

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