adjustment shall be made on the first Remission Date following

11.2 The occurrence of any one or more of the following events(regardless of the
reason therefor) shall constitute a default allowing the non-defaulting

thirty (30) days after written notice identifying such event or
condition or, in the event such failure or neglect is not
reasonably susceptible to cure within thirty (30) days, the party
charged with such failure or neglect shall have further failed to
commence cure and diligently proceed to completion of such cure;
11.2.3 The insolvency of any party(for this purpose, "insolvency" shall

value of the trademarks, name and/or reputation of Mitsukoshi or
Mitsukoshi's Affiliates.
In addition to or in lieu of the remedies for default stated above, in the
event of default which concerns one or more Boutiques, Tiffany-Japan may

Miscellaneous
13.1 No party will make any press release announcing the signing of this
Agreement until the other parties shall have had an opportunity to review
and comment upon the proposed press release.

as expressly stated in this Agreement, any other rights, in the Boutiques
located in the Host Stores.
13.3 This Agreement may not be modified, altered or amended except by an
agreement in writing signed by all parties.

may delegate its obligations under this Agreement to its Affiliates but
will remain fully liable under the terms of this Agreement for the
performance of its Affiliates.
13.5 The failure by any party, at any time or times, to require strict
performance by any other party of any provision of this Agreement shall not
waive, affect or diminish any right thereafter to demand strict compliance
and performance therewith. Any suspension or waiver (which must be in
writing) by any party of a default under this Agreement by any other party
shall not suspend, waive or affect any other default under this Agreement,
whether the same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether the same or of
a different type.
13.6 Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in
such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any
provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under
applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such
provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement; provided that if
any provision which has been a material consideration to either party
entering into this Agreement is so prohibited or invalid the party to which
such provision was material may terminate this Agreement if the other party
is unwilling or unable, after negotiation in good faith, to modify this
Agreement to replace such material provision with a valid substitute
provision which is reasonably acceptable.
13.7 Subject to the provisions of Section 13.4, this Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the parties
hereto.
13.8 This Agreement shall in all respects be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of Japan applicable to agreements executed,
delivered and performed within Japan, without regard to Japan's conflict of
laws rules, including all matters of construction, validity and
performance.
13.9 Except as otherwise provided herein, any notice necessary or desirable
hereunder shall be in writing, and shall be deemed to have been validly
served, given or delivered (i) effective upon hand delivery to an officer
of the recipient or (ii) effective ten (10) days following posting in the
United States or Japan by registered airmail, with proper postage prepaid,
and addressed to the party to be notified as follows:
If to Tiffany-Japan, at: 0-0-00, Xxxxxx-Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx-xx, Xxxxx

shall be without substantial meaning or content of any kind whatsoever
and are not a part of this Agreement.
13.11 The parties shall discuss and attempt to solve in good faith all
disputes, controversies or differences that arise between them. All
disputes, controversies, or differences which may arise between the
parties, out of or in relation to or in connection with this Agreement,
or the breach hereof, which cannot be resolved by discussion between
the parties shall be finally decided by court proceedings. The parties
hereto agree that the Tokyo District Court sitting in Tokyo, Japan
shall have jurisdiction over such proceedings.
13.12 No party, including any Host Store, shall be deemed to have breached this
Agreement by reason of delay or failure in performance resulting from
a cause beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of
such party. Said causes shall include, but not be limited to: acts of
God; acts of war; riot; epidemics, fires, floods or other disasters;
acts of government; strikes or lockouts. In the event a casualty loss or
other such event beyond its control renders it impossible or reasonably
unlikely that Mitsukoshi or any Host Store will be able to operate one
or more of the Boutiques for a period in excess of three (3) months,
Tiffany-Japan shall have the right to effect a partial termination of
this Agreement in respect of the affected Boutique(s) only and this
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the
unaffected Boutiques.
13.13 This Agreement shall be entered into in triplicate in both English and
Japanese; however, in the event that any conflict in meaning arises when
the Japanese version of this Agreement is compared to the English version
of this Agreement, it is hereby agreed that the English version will
supersede the Japanese, it being acknowledged that this Agreement was
negotiated in the English language.
13.14 This is the entire agreement between the parties with respect to
the subject matter hereof. It supersedes all prior agreements, memoranda,
oral agreements or understandings between the parties. Nothing in this
Agreement shall be deemed to impose an exclusive relationship upon either
party and both parties shall be free to deal with others in all
respects unless expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF THE PARTIES HAVE EXECUTED THIS AGREEMENT AS OF THE DATE FIRST
WRITTEN ABOVE.
