Disability. If prior to the Vesting Date you cease active
employment with the Company because of your death or Disability (i) any portion

effective as of the Vesting Date and (ii) the Performance Period PRSUs and any
portion of the Fiscal Year PRSUs that relates to a fiscal year that has not

respect to certain terminations of employment in connection with a Change in

terminated by the Company for Cause or by you without Good Reason (including,
without limitation, by reason of your retirement) the Award shall thereupon be
forfeited in its entirety.
(d) Certain Terminations of Employment in
connection with a Change in Control. Notwithstanding Section
5(b), if your employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by you
for Good Reason prior to the Vesting Date and within six months prior to a
Change in Control or during the 12 month period immediately following such
Change in Control, then, effective as of the later of the Date of Termination or

(i) any portion of the Fiscal Year PRSUs that relates to a fiscal year of the
Company that ended on or prior to the Date of Termination (or date of the Change

Company’s performance (A) would not be Marginal or below for any fiscal year
that ends following the Date of Termination (or date of the Change in Control,
if later) and (B) would be above Superior in at least one fiscal year that ends

adverse impact on the Company.

at any time with or without cause.
11. Miscellaneous.
(a) Amendment or
Modifications. The grant of the Award (and the allocation of
PRSUs for each fiscal year and the Performance Period, as applicable) is
documented by the minutes of the Committee, which records are the final
determinant of the number of PRSUs granted in any fiscal year or the Performance
Period, as applicable, and the conditions of any such grant. The
Committee may amend or modify the Award in any manner to the extent that the
Committee would have had the authority under the Plan initially to grant such
Award, provided that no
such amendment or modification shall directly or indirectly impair or otherwise
adversely affect your rights under this Agreement (including, without
limitation, under Annex B) without your
prior written consent. Except as in accordance with the two
immediately preceding sentences, this Agreement may be amended, modified or
supplemented only by an instrument in writing signed by both parties
hereto.

governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, including matters of
validity, construction and interpretation. You and the Company agree

relating to this Agreement shall be heard or determined in any state or federal
court sitting in New York, New York and you and the Company agree to submit to
the jurisdiction of such courts, to bring all such actions or proceedings in

feasible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as
to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this
Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such
provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or
invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement.
12. Section 409A.
(a) In General. The
parties acknowledge and agree that, to the extent applicable, this Agreement
shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A. Notwithstanding
any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Company
determines that any amounts payable hereunder may be subject to Section 409A,
the Company may adopt (without any obligation to do so or to indemnify you for
failure to do so) such limited amendments to this Agreement and appropriate
policies and procedures, including amendments and policies with retroactive
effect, that the Company reasonably determines are necessary or appropriate to
(i) exempt the amounts payable hereunder from Section 409A and/or preserve the
intended tax treatment of the amounts payable hereunder or (ii) comply with the
requirements of Section 409A.
(b) Specified Employee Separation from
Service. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, if you are determined to be a “specified employee” within the meaning
of Section 409A as of the date of your “separation from service” as defined in
Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) (or any successor regulation), and if
any payments or entitlements provided for in this Agreement constitute a
“deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and therefore
cannot be paid or provided in the manner provided herein without subjecting you
to additional tax, interest or penalties under Section 409A, then any such
payment and/or entitlement which would have been payable during the first six
months following your “separation from service” shall instead be paid or
provided to you in a lump sum payment on the first business day immediately
following the six-month anniversary of your “separation from service” (or, if
earlier, the date of your death).

Marginal and Good, between Good and Superior, or between Superior and
Outstanding, the number of PRSUs that may become vested on the Vesting
Date shall be determined by means of linear interpolation.
(c) Termination of
Employment Prior to Vesting Date:
Notwithstanding
the foregoing subsections (a) and (b), in the event of the Executive’s
termination of employment prior to the Vesting Date, any or all Fiscal
Year PRSUs and Performance Period PRSUs shall be subject to forfeiture in

Dividend
Equivalents:
|
(a) The
Executive shall be eligible to receive Dividend Equivalents (as defined in
the Plan) with respect to the Award (the “Dividend Equivalent
PRSUs”). Subject to subsection (b), below, the
amount of the Dividend Equivalent PRSUs shall be determined as of the
Vesting Date (or, if earlier, the date the Award is distributed to
Executive pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement) and shall be
distributed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. For
purposes of determining the amount of Dividend Equivalent PRSUs (and
subject to subsection (b), below): (i) an amount representing dividends
payable on the number of shares of Common Stock equal to (A) the number of
Performance Period PRSUs and (B) Fiscal Year PRSUs with respect
to fiscal years beginning on or prior to the dividend record date shall be
deemed reinvested in Common Stock and credited as additional PRSUs as of
the dividend payment date; and (ii) (A) with respect to the Performance
Period PRSUs, the Company’s performance will be deemed to be Outstanding,
(B) with respect to the Fiscal Year PRSUs for the fiscal year in which the
dividend record date occurs, the Company’s performance level will be
deemed to be Outstanding; provided, however, that in the
event the Company’s performance level is Marginal or below in any fiscal
year that ends prior to the dividend record date, the Company’s
performance for the fiscal year in which the dividend record date occurs
shall be deemed to be Superior, and (C) with respect to the Fiscal Year
PRSUs for the fiscal years ending prior to the fiscal year in which the
dividend record date occurs, the Company’s performance will be based on
actual results for such prior fiscal years.

B-3

(b) All
Dividend Equivalent PRSUs (including Dividend Equivalent PRSUs paid with
respect to any prior year’s Dividend Equivalent PRSUs) will be subject to
forfeiture if the underlying PRSUs are forfeited in accordance with the
forfeiture and vesting provisions set forth in Section 5 of this Agreement
and this Annex
B.

RESTRICTIVE
COVENANTS
1. The
Executive shall not, at any time during his employment or during the 12-month
period following the Date of Termination (the “Restricted Period”) directly
or indirectly engage in, have any equity interest in, or manage or operate any
(a) Competitive Business (as defined below), or (b) new luxury accessories
business that competes directly with the existing or planned product lines of
the Company; provided,
however, that the Executive shall be permitted to acquire a passive stock
or equity interest in such a business provided the stock or other equity
interest acquired is not more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding interest
in such business. For purposes of these Restrictive Covenants, “Competitive Business” shall
mean any entity that, as of the date of the Executive’s termination of
employment, the Committee has designated in its sole discretion as an entity
that competes with any of the businesses of the Company, provided that the Committee
may change its designation of Competitive Businesses at any time that is not
less than 90 days prior to the Executive’s termination of employment upon
written notice thereof to the Executive (and any such change within the 90 day
period immediately preceding the Executive’s termination of employment shall not
be effective).
2. During
the Restricted Period, the Executive will not, directly or indirectly recruit or
otherwise solicit or induce any employee, director, consultant, wholesale
customer, vendor, supplier, lessor or lessee of the Company to terminate its
employment or arrangement with the Company, otherwise change its relationship
with the Company, or establish any relationship with the Executive or any of his
affiliates for any business purpose.
3. Except
as required in the good faith opinion of the Executive in connection with the
performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder or as specifically set forth in
this Section 3, the Executive shall, in perpetuity, maintain in confidence and
shall not directly, indirectly or otherwise, use, disseminate, disclose or
publish, or use for his benefit or the benefit of any person, firm, corporation
or other entity any confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets of
or relating to the Company, including, without limitation, information with
respect to the Company’s operations, processes, products, inventions, business
practices, finances, principals, vendors, suppliers, customers, potential
customers, marketing methods, costs, prices, contractual relationships,
regulatory status, business plans, designs, marketing or other business
strategies, compensation paid to employees or other terms of employment, or
deliver to any person, firm, corporation or other entity any document, record,
notebook, computer program or similar repository of or containing any such
confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets. The parties
hereby stipulate and agree that as between them the foregoing matters are
important, material and confidential proprietary information and trade secrets
and affect the successful conduct of the businesses of the Company (and any
successor or assignee of the Company). Upon termination of the
Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, the Executive will
promptly deliver to the Company all correspondence, drawings, manuals, letters,
notes, notebooks, reports, programs, plans, proposals, financial documents, or
any other documents concerning the Company’s customers, business plans, designs,
marketing or other business strategies, products or processes, provided that the Executive
may retain his rolodex, address book and similar information and any
non-proprietary documents he received as an employee or director.
D-1
4. Notwithstanding
Section 3, the Executive may respond to a lawful and valid subpoena or other
legal process or other government or regulatory inquiry but shall give the
Company prompt notice thereof (except to the extent legally prohibited), and
shall, as much in advance of the return date as is reasonably practicable, make
available to the Company and its counsel copies of any documents sought which
are in the Executive’s possession or to which the Executive otherwise has
reasonable access. In addition, the Executive shall reasonably
cooperate with and assist the Company and its counsel at any time and in any
manner reasonably requested by the Company or its counsel (with due regard for
the Executive’s other commitments if he is not employed by the Company) in
connection with any litigation or other legal process affecting the Company of
which the Executive has knowledge as a result of his employment with the Company
(other than any litigation with respect to his employment
agreement). In the event of such requested cooperation, the Company
shall reimburse the Executive’s reasonable out of pocket expenses.
5. The
Executive shall not disparage the Company, any of its products or practices, or
any of its directors, officers, agents, representatives, or employees, either
orally or in writing, at any time. The Company (including without
limitation its directors) shall not disparage the Executive, either orally or in
writing, at any time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this
Section 5 shall limit the ability of the Company or the Executive, as
applicable, to provide truthful testimony as required by law or any judicial or
administrative process.
6. The
Executive agrees that all strategies, methods, processes, techniques, marketing
plans, merchandising schemes, themes, layouts, mechanicals, trade secrets,
copyrights, trademarks, patents, ideas, specifications and other material or
work product (“Intellectual
Property”) that the Executive creates, develops or assembles in
connection with his employment hereunder shall become the permanent and
exclusive property of the Company to be used in any manner it sees fit, in its
sole discretion. The Executive shall not communicate to the Company
any ideas, concepts, or other intellectual property of any kind (other than in
his capacity as an officer of the Company) which (a) were earlier communicated
to the Executive in confidence by any third party as proprietary information, or
(b) the Executive knows or has reason to know is the proprietary information of
any third party. Further, the Executive shall adhere to and comply
with the Company’s Global Business Integrity Program Guide. All
Intellectual Property created or assembled in connection with the Executive’s
employment hereunder shall be the permanent and exclusive property of the
Company. The Company and the Executive mutually agree that all
Intellectual Property and work product created in connection with the
Executive’s employment, which is subject to copyright, shall be deemed to be
“work made for hire,” and that all rights to copyrights shall be vested in the
Company. If for any reason the Company cannot be deemed to have
commissioned “work made for hire,” and its rights to copyright are thereby in
doubt, then the Executive agrees not to claim to be the proprietor of the work
prepared for the Company, and to irrevocably assign to the Company, at the
Company’s expense, all rights in the copyright of the work prepared for the
Company.
7. As
used in these Restrictive Covenants, the term “Company” shall include the
Company and any of its affiliates or direct or indirect
subsidiaries.

8. The
Company and the Executive expressly acknowledge and agree that the agreements
and covenants contained in these Restrictive Covenants are
reasonable. In the event, however, that any agreement or covenant
contained in these Restrictive Covenants shall be determined by any court of
competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its extending for too
great a period of time or over too great a geographical area or by reason of its
being too extensive in any other respect, it will be interpreted to extend only
over the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable, and/or over the
maximum geographical area as to which it may be enforceable and/or to the
maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable, all as
determined by such court in such action.
