    (a)          With respect to any employment, retention, severance, restrictive covenant or similar agreements with VS Employees to which a member of the VS Group is not a party, or which do not otherwise transfer to a VS Group member by

        applicable employment, retention, severance, restrictive covenant or similar agreement, as applicable, to a member of the VS Group in the applicable jurisdiction, and VS shall, or shall cause a member of the VS Group to assume and perform such
        agreements in accordance with their terms, in each case as if originally entered into by such applicable member of the VS Group, and the L Brands Group shall cease to have any Liabilities or responsibilities with respect thereto; provided, however, that this Section 3.03(a) shall not apply to any employment, retention, severance, restrictive covenant or similar agreements with any VS Employees who are employed
        in a jurisdiction outside of the United States in which the Parties do not intend for such agreements to be transferred to the VS Group.

    

    

    (b)          With respect to any employment, retention, severance, restrictive covenant or similar agreements with L Brands Employees to which a member of the L Brands Group is not a party, or which do not otherwise transfer to an L Brands
        Group member by operation of Applicable Law, the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to assign, effective on or before the Distribution Date (or, with respect to Delayed LB Transfer Employee, effective as of the applicable Delayed Transfer
        Date) the applicable employment, retention, severance, restrictive covenant or similar agreement, as applicable, to a member of the L Brands Group in the applicable jurisdiction, and L Brands shall, or shall cause a member of the L Brands Group to
        assume and perform such agreements in accordance with their terms, in each case as if originally entered into by such applicable member of the L Brands Group, and the VS Group shall cease to have any Liabilities or responsibilities with respect

        Employees who are employed in a jurisdiction outside of the United States in which the Parties do not intend for such agreements to be transferred to the L Brands Group.

    

    

    (c)          From and
        after the Distribution Date (or, if applicable, the Delayed Transfer Date), each of VS and L Brands hereby agrees to comply with and honor any employment, services, retention or severance agreement between any member of the VS Group or the L Brands
        Group, as the case may be, on the one hand, and any VS Employee or VS Contractor or L Brands Employee or L Brands Contractor, respectively, on the other hand, and assumes responsibility for, and, to the extent applicable, L Brands or the relevant
        member of the L Brands Group and VS or the relevant member of the VS Group, respectively, shall cease to be responsible for or to otherwise have any Liability in respect of, such agreements.

    Section 3.05.          Sponsored VS Employees.  Each of VS and L Brands shall, and shall cause the members of the VS Group and the L Brands Group, respectively, to,
        cooperate in good faith with each other and the applicable Governmental Authorities with respect to the process of obtaining work authorization for each Sponsored VS Employee to work with VS or a VS Group member, including but not limited to,
        petitioning the applicable Governmental Authorities for the transfer of each Sponsored VS Employee’s (as well as any spouse or dependent thereof, as applicable) visa or work permit, or the grant of a new visa or work permit, to any VS Group
        member.  Any costs or expenses incurred with the foregoing shall constitute VS Assumed Employee Liabilities.  In the event that it is not legally permissible for a Sponsored VS Employee to continue work with the VS Group from and after the
        Distribution Date, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate to provide for the services of such Sponsored VS Employee to be made available exclusively to the VS Group under an employee secondment or similar arrangement, which such costs incurred by
        the L Brands Group (including those relating to compensation and benefits in respect of such Sponsored VS Employee) shall constitute VS Assumed Employee Liabilities.

    

    

    Section 3.06.          Transfer-Related Termination Liabilities.

    

    

    (a)          Except as
        expressly contemplated by this Agreement, neither the Distribution, nor any assignment, transfer or continuation of the employment of any employees as contemplated by this Article 3 (or any other Ancillary Agreement) shall be deemed a termination
        of employment or service of any L Brands Participant or VS Participant for purposes of this Agreement or any L Brands Award, VS Award, L Brands Bonus Plan, VS Bonus Plan, L Brands Equity Plan, VS Equity Plan or any employment, severance, retention,
        consulting or similar agreements, plans, policies or arrangements.  Each of the Parties shall cooperate in good faith and use reasonable best efforts to avoid and mitigate, to the maximum extent possible, the incurrence of any severance or other
        termination-related obligations (including, without limitation, by the provision of all appropriate notices, assurances and offers of employment and the assignment and assumption of obligations or undertakings with respect to employment,
        compensation, benefits, protections or other obligations) in connection with the Distribution and any assignment or transfer of employment contemplated by this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement.

    

    

    (b)          Without
        limiting the generality of Section 3.06(a):

    

    

    (i)          in the
        event that any severance or other termination-related payments become payable as a result of the transfer of the employment of a VS Employee contemplated by this Article 3, the VS Group shall be solely responsible for all such severance and termination-related payments, and such amounts shall constitute VS Assumed Employee Liabilities; and

    

    

    (ii)          in
        the event that any severance or other termination-related payments become payable as a result of the transfer of the employment of an L Brands Employee contemplated by this Article 3, the L Brands Group shall be solely responsible for all such severance and termination-related payments, and such amounts shall constitute L Brands Retained Employee Liabilities.

    (a)          Except as
        otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, subject to the terms of the L Brands to VS Transition Services Agreement and the VS to L Brands Transition Services Agreement, as applicable, effective as of immediately prior to the Distribution
        Date, (i)(A) all VS Participants shall cease any participation in, and benefit accrual under, the L Brands Plans and (B) all members of the VS Group shall cease to be participating employers under the L Brands Plans and shall have no further
        obligations with respect to any L Brands Plans and (ii) to the extent applicable, (A) all L Brands Participants shall cease any participation in, and benefit accrual under, the VS Plans and (B) all members of the L Brands Group shall cease to be
        participating employers under the VS Plans, and shall have no further obligations with respect to any VS Plans.

    (b)          Subject
        to, and in accordance with, the terms of this Agreement and the L Brands to VS Transition Services Agreement, to the extent necessary to comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement, VS or a member of the VS
        Group shall adopt, or cause to be adopted, at VS’s expense, VS Plans for the benefit of VS Participants to be effective from and after the Distribution Date (or, if applicable, the Delayed Transfer Date).

    

    

    (c)          Prior to
        the Distribution Date, L Brands and VS shall take all actions necessary to effectuate the actions contemplated by this Section 4.01 and to cause (i) the applicable VS Group member to have in effect the applicable VS Plans no later than the
        Distribution Date (or the applicable Delayed Transfer Date), except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or in the L Brands to VS Transition Services Agreement, (ii) the applicable VS Group Member to assume or retain all Liabilities with
        respect to each VS Plan and the applicable L Brands Group member to assume or retain all Liabilities with respect to each L Brands Plan, in each case, effective as of the Distribution Date and (iii) all assets of any VS Plan to be transferred to or
        retained by the applicable VS Group member in the applicable jurisdiction and all assets of any L Brands Plan to be transferred to or retained by the applicable L Brands Group member in the applicable jurisdiction, in each case, effective as of the
        Distribution Date.  Effective as of the Distribution Date, no member of the L Brands Group shall be considered a fiduciary for any VS Plans and no member of the VS Group shall be considered a fiduciary for any L Brands Plans.

    

    

    (d)          Notwithstanding









        anything to the contrary herein, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, each Delayed LB Transfer Employee and each Delayed VS Transfer Employee shall continue to be eligible to participate in VS Plans and L Brands Plans, respectively,
        during the period from the Distribution Date until the applicable Delayed Transfer Date, subject to the terms of such VS Plans and L Brands Plans, respectively.

    

    

    (e)          For the
        avoidance of doubt, (i) any requirement in this Agreement that the VS Group will have established any applicable VS Plan effective as of the Distribution Date (or, if applicable, the Delayed Transfer Date), or that any VS Participant shall commence
        participation in any VS Plan effective as of the Distribution Date (or, if applicable, the Delayed Transfer Date), in each case shall be subject to the express terms of the L Brands to VS Transition Services Agreement and (ii) to the extent
        applicable, any requirement in this Agreement that the L Brands Group will have established any applicable L Brands Plan effective as of the Distribution Date (or, if applicable, the Delayed Transfer Date), or that any L Brands Participant shall
        commence participation in any L Brands Plan effective as of the Distribution Date (or, if applicable, the Delayed Transfer Date), in each case shall be subject to the express terms of the VS to L Brands Transition Services Agreement.

    

    

    (f)          The
        Parties agree that, to the extent the terms of this Agreement do not expressly prescribe the treatment of any specific compensation or benefits matter (including, without limitation, regarding the treatment of participation in any Employee Plans or
        the allocation of any Liabilities hereunder) applicable to any Delayed LB Transfer Employee or Delayed VS Transfer Employee, as the case may be, the Parties will reasonably cooperate in good faith to cause such matter to be treated in a manner
        consistent with the corresponding treatment provided under this Agreement of such matter as applicable to any Delayed VS Transfer Employee or Delayed LB Transfer Employee, respectively (or, if no such corresponding treatment is provided under the
        terms of this Agreement, then such matter shall otherwise be treated in accordance with the general approach and philosophy regarding the allocation of assets and Liabilities under the terms of this Agreement, as expressly set forth in the recitals
        to this Agreement).

    (a)          From and
        after the Distribution Date (or, if applicable, the Delayed Transfer Date), to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

    

    

    (i)          for
        purposes of determining eligibility to participate, vesting and benefit accrual under any VS Plan in which a VS Employee is eligible to participate on and following the Distribution Date (or, if applicable, the Delayed Transfer Date), such VS
        Employee’s service with any member of the L Brands Group or the VS Group, as the case may be, prior to the Distribution Date (or, if applicable, the Delayed Transfer Date) shall be treated as service with the VS Group, to the extent recognized by
        the L Brands Group or the VS Group, as applicable, under an analogous L Brands Plan or VS Plan, as applicable, prior to the Distribution Date (or, if applicable the Delayed Transfer Date); provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such
        recognition would result in any duplication of benefits; and

    

    

    (ii)          for
        purposes of determining eligibility to participate, vesting and benefit accrual under any L Brands Plan in which an L Brands Employee is eligible to participate on and following the Distribution Date (or, if applicable, the Delayed Transfer Date),
        such L Brands Employee’s service with any member of the L Brands Group or the VS Group, as the case may be, prior to the Distribution Date (or, if applicable, the Delayed Transfer Date) shall be treated as service with the L Brands Group, to the
        extent recognized by the L Brands Group or the VS Group, as applicable, under an analogous L Brands Plan or VS Plan, as applicable, prior to the Distribution Date (or, if applicable, the Delayed Transfer Date); provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to the
        extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits.

    

    

    (b)          Notwithstanding









        anything to the contrary herein, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, (i) the VS Plans covering New VS Employees (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include any Delayed VS Transfer Employees) will not be required to recognize such
        employee’s prior service with the L Brands Group (if any) and (ii) the L Brands Plans covering New L Brands Employees (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include any Delayed LB Transfer Employees) will not be required to recognize such
        employee’s prior service with the VS Group (if any).

    Defined Contribution Retirement Plans

    

    

    Section 5.01.          401(k) Plan.

    

    

    (a)          Effective
        as of the Distribution Date, VS or another member of the VS Group will adopt the VS 401(k) Plan. The VS 401(k) Plan will have terms and features (including employer contribution provisions) that are substantially similar to the L Brands 401(k)
        Plan, except (i) that the VS 401(k) Plan will not provide for a VS stock fund as a prospective investment election alternative (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any “frozen” VS stock fund or “frozen” L Brands stock fund thereunder) or (ii)
        as may otherwise be mutually agreed between the Parties. From and after the Distribution Date, the applicable member of the VS Group shall be responsible for the administration of the VS 401(k) Plan, and no member of the L Brands Group shall have
        any Liability or obligation (including any administration obligation) with respect to the VS 401(k) Plan or any member of the VS Group with respect to the VS 401(k) Plan.  A member of the VS Group will be solely responsible for taking all
        necessary, reasonable, and appropriate actions (including the submission of the VS 401(k) Plan to the Internal Revenue Service for a determination of tax-qualified status) to establish, maintain and administer the VS 401(k) Plan so that it is
        qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and that the related trust thereunder is exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code.

    
      15

      
        


    

    

    

    (b)          Effective
        as of the Distribution Date (or, in the case of the Delayed VS Transfer Employees, the applicable Delayed Transfer Date), each VS Participant who actively participates in the L Brands 401(k) Plan immediately prior to such date will (i) cease active
        participation in the L Brands 401(k) Plan and (ii) become eligible to participate in the VS 401(k) Plan.  For the avoidance of doubt, (A) all employee pre-tax deferrals and employer contributions with respect to such active VS Participants will be
        made to the VS 401(k) Plan on and following the Distribution Date (or, if applicable, the Delayed Transfer Date) and (B) any VS Participants who are inactive or former participants under the L Brands 401(k) Plan as of immediately prior to the
        Distribution Date will not become eligible to participate in the VS 401(k) Plan in accordance with this Section 5.01(b) (and, for the avoidance of doubt, will continue participating under the L Brands 401(k) Plan, subject to the terms of the L
        Brands 401(k) Plan).

    

    

    (c)          On or as
        soon as reasonably practicable following the Distribution Date (but not later than 180 days thereafter), the account balances (whether vested or unvested) of all VS Participants (other than Delayed VS Transfer Employees) that are active
        participants in the L Brands 401(k) Plan as of immediately prior to the Distribution Date and any associated Liabilities will be transferred from the L Brands 401(k) Plan to the VS 401(k) Plan via a trust-to-trust transfer. The transfer of assets
        will be in cash or in kind (as determined by L Brands) and will be made in accordance with Applicable Law, including the Code and ERISA. For the avoidance of doubt, the account balances of any VS Participants who are inactive or former participants
        under the L Brands 401(k) Plan will not be transferred to the VS 401(k) Plan pursuant to this Section 5.01(c), and will instead remain under the L Brands 401(k) Plan (and such inactive or former participants will not become eligible to participate
        in the VS 401(k) Plan in accordance with Section 5.01(b)).  Effective as of and following the time in which the applicable trust-to-trust transfer is complete, VS and/or the VS 401(k) Plan shall assume all Liabilities of L Brands under the L Brands
        401(k) Plan with respect to all applicable participants in the L Brands 401(k) Plan whose account balances (whether vested or unvested) were transferred to the VS 401(k) Plan pursuant to this Section 5.01(c), and L Brands and the L Brands 401(k)
        Plan shall have no Liabilities to provide such participants with benefits under the L Brands 401(k) Plan following such transfer.

    

    

    (d)          On or as
        soon as reasonably practicable following any applicable Delayed Transfer Date:

    

    

    (i)          each
        Delayed VS Transfer Employee will be eligible to elect a distribution of his or her account balance under the L Brands 401(k) Plan, including a voluntary “rollover distribution” of such Delayed VS Transfer Employee’s eligible account balance under
        the L Brands 401(k) Plan to either the VS 401(k) Plan or an Individual Retirement Account (or, for the avoidance of doubt, such Delayed VS Transfer Employee may otherwise continue to maintain his or her account under the L Brands 401(k) Plan in
        accordance with the terms of the L Brands 401(k) Plan), as determined by each such Delayed VS Transfer Employee; provided that any portion of
        such Delayed VS Transfer Employee’s account balance under the L Brands 401(k) Plan to be “rolled over” to the VS 401(k) Plan shall be done in the form of cash (i.e., no in-kind or L Brands Common Stock transfers will be permitted).  In the event
        that a Delayed VS Transfer Employee elects to roll over his or her account balance from the L Brands 401(k) Plan to the VS 401(k) Plan, VS agrees to cause the VS 401(k) Plan to accept such rollover, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law; and

    

    

    (ii)          each
        Delayed LB Transfer Employee will be eligible to elect a distribution of his or her account balance under the VS 401(k) Plan, including a voluntary “rollover distribution” of such Delayed LB Transfer Employee’s eligible account balance under the VS
        401(k) Plan to either the L Brands 401(k) Plan or an Individual Retirement Account (or, for the avoidance of doubt, such Delayed LB Transfer Employee may otherwise continue to maintain his or her account under the VS 401(k) Plan in accordance with
        the terms of the VS 401(k) Plan), as determined by each such Delayed LB Transfer Employee; provided that any portion of such Delayed VS
        Transfer Employee’s account balance under the VS 401(k) Plan to be “rolled over” to the L Brands 401(k) Plan shall be done in the form of cash (i.e., no in-kind or VS Common Stock transfers will be permitted).  In the event that a Delayed LB
        Transfer Employee elects to roll over his or her account balance from the VS 401(k) Plan to the L Brands 401(k) Plan, L Brands agrees to cause the L Brands 401(k) Plan to accept such rollover, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.

    
      16

      
        


    

    

    

    In connection with the actions contemplated by this Section 5.01(d), the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to determine the treatment of any portion of
      a Delayed VS Transfer Employee’s account balance under the L Brands 401(k) Plan or a Delayed LB Transfer Employee’s account balance under the VS 401(k) Plan, in each case that is unvested as of immediately prior to the applicable Delayed Transfer
      Date.

    

    

    (e)          Effective
        as of the Distribution Date, with respect to VS Participants who become eligible to participate in the VS 401(k) Plan as of the Distribution Date in accordance with Section 5.01(b) (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any Delayed Transfer
        Employees who become eligible to participate in the VS 401(k) Plan as of any subsequent applicable Delayed Transfer Date), the Parties will cooperate in good faith to cause the VS 401(k) Plan to recognize and maintain such VS Participant’s
        elections (to the extent applicable and reasonable), including investment and payment form elections, beneficiary designations, and the rights of alternate payees under qualified domestic relations orders in effect under the L Brands 401(k) Plan as
        of immediately prior to the Distribution Date, subject to the terms of the VS 401(k) Plan and Applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Delayed VS Transfer Employees who become eligible to participate in the VS 401(k) Plan or
        any Delayed LB Transfer Employees who become eligible to participate in the L Brands 401(k) Plan, in each case, effective as of the applicable Delayed Transfer Date, such employees shall be required to submit new plan elections with the applicable
        plan administrator in accordance with the terms of the VS 401(k) Plan and the L Brands 401(k) Plan, respectively, in connection with their initial participation thereunder.

    

    

    (f)          All
        contributions to be made to the L Brands 401(k) Plan with respect to employee deferrals, matching contributions and employer contributions for VS Participants who are active participants in the L Brands 401(k) Plan (other than any Delayed VS
        Transfer Employees) as of immediately prior to the Distribution Date that relate to a time period ending on or prior to the Distribution Date, determined in accordance with the terms and provisions of the L Brands 401(k) Plan and Applicable Law,
        shall be the responsibility of VS under the VS 401(k) Plan. Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, (i) with respect to any 2021 annual retirement contribution to be made under the L Brands 401(k) Plan relating to any
        VS Participants who are active participants in the L Brands 401(k) Plan as of immediately prior to the Distribution Date (other than any Delayed VS Transfer Employees), the amount of such 2021 annual retirement contribution shall be calculated in
        accordance with the terms of the L Brands 401(k) Plan based on eligible earnings for the full year (i.e., for the both the pre- and post-Distribution period), and shall be the responsibility of VS under the VS 401(k) Plan, and (ii) subject to any
        agreement between the Parties made in accordance with Section 5.01(g) below, with respect to any 2021 annual retirement contribution to be made under the L Brands 401(k) relating to any other eligible participant under the L Brands 401(k) Plan
        (other than those VS Participants described in clause (i)), the amount of such 2021 annual retirement contribution shall be calculated in accordance with the terms of the L Brands 401(k) Plan, and shall be the responsibility of L Brands under the L
        Brands 401(k) Plan.

    

    

    (g)          The
        Parties shall cooperate in good faith to determine the treatment of any contributions to be made to the L Brands 401(k) Plan or VS 401(k) Plan, as applicable, with respect to employee deferrals, matching contributions and employer contributions for
        Delayed VS Transfer Employees and Delayed LB Transfer Employees, respectively, relating to a time period ending on or prior to the applicable Delayed Transfer Date.

    

    

    (h)          Prior to
        the Distribution Date, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to determine the allocation (if any) between the L Brands 401(k) Plan and the VS 401(k) Plan of the forfeiture account balance under the L Brands 401(k) Plan outstanding as of
        immediately prior to the Distribution Date and, to the extent applicable, the mechanics for transferring the applicable allocable portion of such account from the L Brands 401(k) Plan to the VS 401(k) Plan.

    

    

    Section 5.02.          Non-U.S. Defined Contribution Plans. As set forth in Article 10, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate in good faith to effect the provisions of
        this Agreement with respect to any Non-U.S. VS Defined Contribution Plans and Non-U.S. LB Defined Contribution Plans (including with respect to the creation of any “mirror” plans), which in all cases shall be consistent with the general approach
        and philosophy regarding the allocation of assets and Liabilities (as expressly set forth in the recitals to this Agreement).

    Section 6.01.          Health and Welfare Benefit Plans.

    

    

    (a)          Subject
        to the terms of the L Brands to VS Transition Services Agreement, effective as of the Distribution Date (or, in the case of any Delayed VS Transfer Employee, the applicable Delayed Transfer Date), VS or another member of the VS Group will provide
        all health and welfare benefits under VS H&W Plans to VS Participants and, to the extent necessary, establish certain VS H&W Plans having terms and features (including benefit coverage options and employer contribution provisions) that are
        substantially similar to the terms and features of the corresponding L Brands H&W Plans in which such VS Participants participated prior to the Distribution Date (or the Delayed Transfer Date, as applicable), except as may otherwise be mutually
        agreed between the Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the VS Group will not be required to establish any voluntary employees’ beneficiary association (VEBA).

    

    

    (b)          Without
        limiting the generality of Section 4.01, effective as of the Distribution Date (or, in the case of Delayed VS Transfer Employees or Delayed LB Transfer Employees, the applicable Delayed Transfer Date), except as otherwise provided by the terms of

    Section 8.04.          Miscellaneous Terms and Actions; Tax Reporting and Withholding.

    

    

    (a)          Effective
        on or before the Distribution Date, VS shall adopt an equity incentive compensation plan for the benefit of eligible participants (as may be amended from time to time, and together with any successor plan, the “VS Equity Plan”).  Prior to the Distribution Date, each of L Brands and VS shall take any actions necessary to give effect
          to the transactions contemplated by this Article 8, including, in the case of VS, the reservation, issuance and listing of shares of VS
        Common Stock as is necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Article 8.  From and after the Distribution Date, (i) VS shall retain the VS Equity Plan, and all Liabilities thereunder shall constitute VS Assumed Employee
        Liabilities, and (ii) L Brands shall retain the L Brands Equity Plans, and all Liabilities thereunder shall constitute L Brands Retained Employee Liabilities.  From and after the Distribution Date, all Adjusted L Brands Awards, regardless of by
        whom held, shall be granted under and subject to the terms of the L Brands Equity Plans and shall be settled by L Brands, and all VS Awards, regardless of by whom held, shall be granted under and subject to the terms of the VS Equity Plan and shall
        be settled by VS.

    

    

    (b)          From and
        after the Distribution Date, for purposes of the L Brands Awards converted into VS Awards or Adjusted L Brands Awards pursuant to this Article 8, (i) a VS Participant’s employment with or service to any member of the VS Group and/or L Brands Group,
        as applicable, shall be treated as employment with and service to the VS Group and/or the L Brands Group, as applicable, (ii) any reference to “cause,” “good reason,” “disability,” “willful” or other similar terms applicable to such Adjusted L
        Brands Awards shall be deemed to refer to the definitions of “cause,” “good reason,” “disability,” “willful” or other similar terms set forth in the L Brands Equity Plans and (iii) any reference to “cause,” “good reason,” “disability,” “willful” or
        other similar terms applicable to such VS Awards shall be deemed to refer to the definitions of “cause,” “good reason,” “disability,” “willful” or other similar terms set forth in the VS Equity Plan.

    

    

    (c)          From and
        after the Distribution Date, (i) any reference to a “change in control,” “change of control” or similar term applicable to any Adjusted L Brands Award contained in any applicable award agreement, employment or services agreement or the L Brands
        Equity Plans shall be deemed to refer to a “change in control,” “change of control” or similar term as defined in such award agreement, employment or services agreement or the L Brands Equity Plans (an “L Brands Change in Control”) and (ii) any reference to a “change in control,” “change of control” or similar term applicable to any VS Award contained in any applicable award agreement,
        employment or services agreement or the VS Equity Plan shall be deemed to refer to a “change in control,” “change of control” or similar term as defined in the VS Equity Plan (a “VS Change in Control”).

    

    

    (d)          For the
        avoidance of doubt, except as expressly provided in this Article 8 (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 8.05), neither the Distribution nor any assignment, transfer or continuation of the employment of employees as contemplated by
        Article 3 shall be deemed a termination of employment or service of any VS Participant or L Brands Participant for purposes of any L Brands Award or VS Award.  The Distribution shall not be treated as an L Brands Change in Control or VS Change in
        Control for purposes of the L Brands Equity Plans or the VS Equity Plan, respectively, any applicable award agreements for an L Brands Award, Adjusted L Brands Award or VS Award outstanding thereunder, or any other applicable employment- or
        service-related agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent L Brands determines it necessary or desirable, each award agreement for an L Brands RSU, L Brands PSU or L Brands Option, as the case may be, shall be
        amended to expressly clarify the same.

    
      25

      
        


    

    

    

    (e)          Unless
        otherwise required by Applicable Law, (i) the applicable member of the VS Group shall be responsible for all applicable income, payroll, employment and other similar tax withholding, remittance and reporting obligations in respect of VS
        Participants relating to any VS Awards and (ii) the applicable member of the L Brands Group shall be responsible for all applicable income, payroll, employment and other similar tax withholding, remittance and reporting obligations in respect of L
        Brands Participants relating to any Adjusted L Brands Awards.

    

    

    (f)          VS shall
        be responsible for the settlement of cash dividend equivalents on any VS Awards, and L Brands shall be responsible for the settlement of cash dividend equivalents on any Adjusted L Brands Awards.

    

    

    (g)          VS shall
        prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on an appropriate form with respect to the shares of VS Common Stock subject to the L Brands Awards converted into VS Awards pursuant to this Article 8 and shall use its reasonable best efforts
        to have such registration statement declared effective on or before the Distribution Date and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement covering such VS Awards (and to maintain the current status of the prospectus contained
        therein) for so long as any such VS Awards remain outstanding.

    

    

    (h)          Prior to
        the Distribution Date, each Party shall take all such steps as may be required to cause any dispositions of L Brands Common Stock (including Adjusted L Brands Awards or any other derivative securities with respect to L Brands Common Stock) or
        acquisitions of VS Common Stock (including VS Awards or any other derivative securities with respect to VS Common Stock) resulting from the Distribution or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Separation Agreement by each
        individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to L Brands or who are or will become subject to such reporting requirements with respect to VS to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated
        under the Exchange Act.  With respect to those individuals, if any, who, subsequent to the Distribution Date, are or become subject to the reporting requirements under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, VS shall administer any L
        Brands Award converted into a VS Award pursuant to this Article 8 in a manner that complies with Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act to the extent such converted L Brands Award complied with such rule prior to the Distribution Date.

    Section 8.05.          Treatment of Equity Awards Held by Delayed Transfer Employees.

    

    

    (a)          Notwithstanding









        anything to the contrary herein, any L Brands Awards held by any Delayed VS Transfer Employees shall be adjusted into Adjusted L Brands Awards as of the Distribution Date in the manner set forth in Section 8.01(b), Section 8.02(b) or Section
        8.03(b), as applicable. Upon the applicable Delayed Transfer Date, the applicable Delayed VS Transfer Employee will be deemed to have terminated employment with the L Brands Group for purposes of the L Brands Equity Plans and the applicable award
        agreements evidencing his or her Adjusted L Brands Awards and, to the extent unvested, will cease vesting and will forfeit his or her L Brands Awards (including any Adjusted L Brands Awards that remain outstanding as of such date and any L Brands
        Awards granted to such Delayed VS Transfer Employee following the Distribution Date) (collectively, the “Forfeited LB Awards”). As of the
        applicable Delayed Transfer Date, VS shall, on an award-by-award basis, grant each such Delayed VS Transfer Employee VS Awards corresponding to the type of each of the Forfeited LB Awards forfeited by such Delayed VS Transfer Employee on the
        Delayed Transfer Date, each with a dollar value equal to the intrinsic dollar value of the corresponding Forfeited LB Award (each such replacement award, a “Replacement VS Award”). For purposes of this Section 8.05(a), (i) the intrinsic dollar value of any Forfeited LB Award shall be
        equal to the product of (A) the volume-weighted average price of L Brands Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (as reported by Bloomberg L.P.) during the 20 trading days ending with the last trading day prior to the applicable Delayed
        Transfer Date (minus, in the case of any Forfeited LB Award that is an Adjusted L Brands Option, the exercise price per share applicable to such
        Forfeited LB Award) multiplied by (B)
        the number of shares of L Brands Common Stock underlying such Forfeited LB Award and (ii) the dollar value of any Replacement VS Award that is a VS Option will be determined based on a Black-scholes valuation of such VS Option or pursuant to such
        other valuation methodology mutually determined by the Parties. The Replacement VS Awards shall be subject to vesting and payment or settlement terms and conditions that are no less favorable to the applicable Delayed VS Transfer Employee than the
        vesting and payment or settlement terms and conditions in effect with respect to his or her corresponding Forfeited LB Awards (determined on an award-by-award basis) as of immediately prior to the applicable Delayed Transfer Date. For the avoidance
        of doubt, any L Brands Options (including any Adjusted L Brands Options granted pursuant to this Article 8) held by a Delayed VS Transfer Employee that are outstanding and vested as of the applicable Delayed Transfer Date will remain outstanding
        and exercisable following the applicable Delayed Transfer Date in accordance with the terms of the applicable L Brands Equity Plan and the applicable award agreement thereunder.

    
      27

      
        


    

    

    

    (b)          Notwithstanding









        anything to the contrary herein, any L Brands Awards held by any Delayed LB Transfer Employees shall be adjusted into VS Awards as of the Distribution Date in the manner set forth in Section 8.01(a), Section 8.02(a) or Section 8.03(a), as
        applicable. Upon the applicable Delayed Transfer Date, the applicable Delayed LB Transfer Employee will be deemed to have terminated employment with the VS Group for purposes of the VS Equity Plan and the applicable award agreements evidencing his
        or her VS Awards and, to the extent unvested, will cease vesting and will forfeit his or her VS Awards (the “Forfeited VS Awards”). As of the
        applicable Delayed Transfer Date, L Brands shall, on an award-by-award basis, grant each such Delayed LB Transfer Employee L Brands Awards corresponding to the type of each of the Forfeited VS Awards forfeited by such Delayed LB Transfer Employee
        on the Delayed Transfer Date, each with a dollar value equal to the intrinsic dollar value of the corresponding Forfeited VS Award (including any VS Awards granted pursuant to this Article 8 that remain outstanding as of such date and any VS Awards
        granted to such Delayed LB Transfer Employee following the Distribution Date) (each such replacement award, a “Replacement LB Award”). For
        purposes of this Section 8.05(b), (i) the intrinsic dollar value of any Forfeited VS Award shall be equal to the product of (A) the volume-weighted
        average price of VS Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (as reported by Bloomberg L.P.) during the 20 trading days ending with the last trading day prior to the applicable Delayed Transfer Date (minus, in the case of any Forfeited VS Award that is a VS Option, the exercise price per share applicable to such Forfeited VS Award) multiplied by (B) the number of shares of VS Common Stock underlying such Forfeited VS
        Award and (ii) the dollar value of any Replacement LB Award that is an L Brands Option will be determined based on a Black-scholes valuation of such L Brands Option or pursuant to such other valuation methodology mutually determined by the Parties.
        The Replacement LB Awards shall be subject to vesting and payment or settlement terms and conditions that are no less favorable to the applicable Delayed LB Transfer Employee than the vesting and payment or settlement terms and conditions in effect
        with respect to his or her corresponding Forfeited VS Awards (determined on an award-by-award basis) as of immediately prior to the applicable Delayed Transfer Date. For the avoidance of doubt, any VS Options (including any VS Options granted
        pursuant to this Article 8) held by a Delayed VS Transfer Employee that are outstanding and vested as of the applicable Delayed Transfer Date will remain outstanding and exercisable following the applicable Delayed Transfer Date in accordance with
        the terms of the applicable VS Equity Plan and the applicable award agreement thereunder.

    

    

    Section 8.06.          Employee Stock Purchase Plan.  Effective as of the Distribution Date (or, if applicable, the Delayed Transfer Date), each VS Participant shall
        cease participation in the L Brands ESPP. Effective on or before the Distribution Date, VS shall adopt an employee stock purchase plan for the benefit of eligible VS Participants (the “VS ESPP”).

    Section 9.01.          Personnel Records.  To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each of the VS Group and the L Brands Group shall be permitted by the other to access
        and retain copies of such records, data and other personnel-related information in any form (“Personnel Records”) as may be necessary or
        appropriate to carry out their respective obligations under Applicable Law, the Separation Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, and for the purposes of administering their respective employee benefit plans and policies.  All Personnel
        Records shall be accessed, retained, held, used, copied and transmitted in accordance with all Applicable Laws, policies and agreements between the Parties.

    Section 9.02.          Payroll; Tax Reporting and Withholding.

    

    

    (a)          Subject
        to the obligations of the Parties as set forth in the L Brands to VS Transition Services Agreement or any other applicable Ancillary Agreement, effective as of no later than the Distribution Date (or, in the case of any Delayed VS Transfer
        Employees or Delayed LB Transfer Employees, as applicable, the applicable Delayed Transfer Date), (A) the members of the VS Group shall be solely responsible for providing payroll services (including for any payroll period already in progress) to
        the VS Employees and for any Liabilities with respect to garnishments of the salary and wages thereof and (B) the members of the L Brands Group shall be solely responsible for providing payroll services (including for any payroll period already in
        progress) to the L Brands Employees and for any Liabilities with respect to garnishments of the salary and wages thereof.

    

    

    (b)          To the
        extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Party that is responsible for making a payment hereunder shall be responsible for (i) making the appropriate withholdings, if any, attributable to such payments and (ii) preparing and filing all related
        required forms and returns with the appropriate Governmental Authority.

    

    

    (c)          With
        respect to VS Employees, the Parties shall (i) treat VS (or the applicable member of the VS Group) as a “successor employer” and L Brands (or the applicable member of the L Brands Group) as a “predecessor,” within the meaning of Sections 3121(a)(1)
        and 3306(b)(1) of the Code, for purposes of taxes imposed under the U.S. Federal Unemployment Tax Act or the U.S. Federal Insurance Contributions Act, and (ii) cooperate and use reasonable best efforts to implement the alternate procedure described
        in Section 5 of Revenue Procedure 2004-53.

    

    

    (d)          With
        respect to Delayed LB Transfer Employees, the Parties shall (i) treat L Brands (or the applicable member of the L Brands Group) as a “successor employer” and VS (or the applicable member of the VS Group) as a “predecessor,” within the meaning of
        Sections 3121(a)(1) and 3306(b)(1) of the Code, for purposes of taxes imposed under the U.S. Federal Unemployment Tax Act or the U.S. Federal Insurance Contributions Act, and (ii) cooperate and use reasonable best efforts to implement the alternate
        procedure described in Section 5 of Revenue Procedure 2004-53.

    Section 11.01.          Sharing of Participant Information.  Without limiting the generality of any of the provisions of any other Ancillary Agreements, to the
        maximum extent permitted under Applicable Law, L Brands and VS shall, and shall cause each member of the L Brands Group and the VS Group, respectively, to reasonably cooperate with the other Party hereto to, (A) share with each other and their
        respective agents and vendors all participant information reasonably necessary for the efficient and accurate administration of each of the L Brands Plans and the VS Plans, (ii) provide prompt written notification regarding the termination of

    Section 11.02.          Cooperation.  Following the date of this Agreement, each of VS and L Brands shall, and shall cause the members of the VS Group and the
        L Brands Group, respectively, to, cooperate in good faith with respect to any employee compensation or benefits matters that either party reasonably determines require the cooperation of the other Party in order to accomplish the objectives of this
        Agreement (including, without limitation, relating to any audits by any Governmental Authorities); provided that nothing herein shall be deemed
        to require any member of the VS Group to administer any L Brands Plan or to require any member of the L Brands Group to administer any VS Plan, in each case at any time on or following the Distribution Date.

    

    

    Section 11.03.          Vendor Contracts.  Prior to the Distribution Date, L Brands and VS will cooperate in good faith and use reasonable best efforts to (a)
        negotiate with the current third-party providers to separate and assign to the VS Group or VS Plan or the L Brands Group or L Brands Plan, as applicable, the applicable rights and obligations under each group insurance policy, health maintenance
        organization, administrative services contract, third-party administrator agreement, letter of understanding or arrangement that pertains to one or more L Brands Plans or VS Plans, respectively (each, a “Vendor Contract”), to the extent that such rights or obligations pertain to VS Participants or L Brands Participants, respectively, or, in the alternative, to negotiate with the current

        Plans, respectively, as applicable and (b) to the extent permitted by the applicable third-party provider, obtain and maintain pricing discounts or other preferential terms under the applicable Vendor Contracts.

    

    

    Section 11.04.          Data Privacy.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parties agree that any applicable data privacy laws and any other
        obligations of the L Brands Group and the VS Group to maintain the confidentiality of any employee information held by any member of the L Brands Group or the VS Group, as applicable, or any information held in connection with any Employee Plans in
        accordance with Applicable Law will govern the disclosure of employee information between the Parties under this Agreement. Each of L Brands and VS will ensure that it has in place appropriate technical and organizational security measures to

    Section 11.06.          No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Agreement shall (a) create any
        obligation on the part of any member of the VS Group or any member of the L Brands Group to retain the employment or services of any current or former employee, director, independent contractor or other service provider, (b) be construed to create
        any right, or accelerate entitlement, to any compensation or benefit whatsoever on the part of any future, present, or former employee or service provider of any member of the L Brands Group or the VS Group (or any beneficiary or dependent thereof)
        under this Agreement, the Separation Agreement, any L Brands Plan or VS Plan or otherwise, (c) preclude VS or any VS Group member (or, in each case, any successor thereto), at any time after the Distribution Date, from amending, merging, modifying,
        terminating, eliminating, reducing or otherwise altering in any respect any VS Plan, any benefit under any VS Plan or any trust, insurance policy or funding vehicle related to any VS Plan (in each case in accordance with the terms of the applicable
        arrangement), (d) preclude L Brands or any L Brands Group member (or, in each case, any successor thereto), at any time after the Distribution Date, from amending, merging, modifying, terminating, eliminating, reducing, or otherwise altering in any
        respect any L Brands Plan, any benefit under any L Brands Plan or any trust, insurance policy or funding vehicle related to any L Brands Plan (in each case in accordance with the terms of the applicable arrangement) or (e) confer any rights or
        remedies (including any third-party beneficiary rights) on any current or former employee or service provider of any member of the L Brands Group or the VS Group or any beneficiary or dependent thereof or any other Person, including, without
        limitation any L Brands Participants or VS Participants.

    

    

    Section 11.07.          Fiduciary Matters.  L Brands and VS each acknowledge that actions required to be taken pursuant to this Agreement may be subject to
        fiduciary duties or standards of conduct under ERISA or other Applicable Law, and no Party shall be deemed to be in violation of this Agreement if it fails to comply with any provisions hereof based upon its good faith determination (as supported
        by advice from counsel experienced in such matters) that to do so would violate such a fiduciary duty or standard.  Each Party shall be responsible for taking such actions as are deemed necessary and appropriate to comply with its own fiduciary
        responsibilities and shall fully release and indemnify the other Party for any Liabilities caused by the failure to satisfy any such responsibility.

    

    

    Section 11.08.          Consent of Third Parties.  If any provision of this Agreement is dependent on the consent of any third party (such as a vendor or
        Governmental Authority), the Parties shall cooperate in good faith and use reasonable best efforts to obtain such consent, and, if such consent is not obtained, to implement the applicable provisions of this Agreement to the full extent
        practicable.  If any provision of this Agreement cannot be implemented due to the failure of such third party to consent, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to implement the provision in a mutually satisfactory manner.  A Party’s obligation
        to use its “reasonable best efforts” shall not require such party to take any action to the extent it would reasonably be expected to (a) jeopardize, or result in the loss or waiver of, any attorney-client or other legal privilege, (b) contravene
        any Applicable Law or fiduciary duty, (c) result in the loss of protection of any Intellectual Property or other proprietary information or (d) incur any non-routine or unreasonable cost or expense.

    

    

    Section 11.09.          Section 409A.  The Parties shall cooperate in good faith so that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Separation
        Agreement will not result in adverse tax consequences under Section 409A of the Code to any LB Participant or VS Participant in respect of their benefits under any Employee Plan.
