Regulation §1.409A-1(h)(1)(ii). 
  

	11.	Redemption Agreement.

period of time from the date hereof until the Effective Date, or if the Effective Date shall not occur, then upon such termination, the Prior Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms as though this
Agreement never existed.

WHEREAS, Employee has been employed by SoulCycle Holdings as Co-CEO pursuant to the terms of an employment agreement dated May 23, 2011
(the “Prior Employment Agreement”); 
 WHEREAS, the Prior Employment Agreement was executed as part of a transaction in
which Equinox Holdings, Inc. (“EHI”) effectively purchased 75% of the membership interests of SoulCycle Holdings from Employee, Julie Rice (co-founder of the SoulCycle business) and their respective Grantor Retained Annuity Trusts,
and entered into the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of SoulCycle Holdings LLC providing for the ownership and governance of SoulCycle Holdings, which was subsequently amended and restated into its current form as the
Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement; 
 WHEREAS, SoulCycle Holdings intends to convert from a limited liability
company into SoulCycle Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Conversion”); 
 WHEREAS, prior to the Conversion, the membership
units of SoulCycle Holdings held by the Employee and the Employee Trusts shall be redeemed by SoulCycle Holdings (the “Redemption”) pursuant to that certain Redemption Agreement, of even date herewith, by and among SoulCycle
Holdings, EHI, Employee, the Employee Trusts, Julie J. Rice, and the Rice Trusts (the “Redemption Agreement”); and 

WHEREAS, in connection with the Conversion and the Redemption, the Company and the Employee desire to amend and restate the Prior Employment
Agreement, effective as of, and contingent upon, the occurrence of the closing of the Redemption (such closing date, the “Effective Date” hereunder), and until the Effective Date, the Prior Employment Agreement shall continue to
govern the Employee’s employment with the Company. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and
promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is acknowledged, the Company and Employee hereby agree as follows, effective as of the Effective Date:

devote her full working time, attention and energies to the business of the Company, its subsidiaries and divisions; provided, however, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to preclude the Employee from engaging in charitable,
educational, religious, civic and similar types of activities (all of which shall be deemed to benefit the Company) and serving on the board of directors of any business or organization (other than any competitors of the Company or EHI) to
the extent they do not interfere with Employee’s obligations hereunder. While Co-CEO, Employee shall report to, and have such duties and responsibilities as designated by, the Board. Following the hiring of a new Chief Executive Officer,

Information”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Confidential Information” does not include information which is or becomes generally available to the public (other than as a result of a wrongful disclosure by Employee).

Company’s business or that of any of its Affiliates (including, without limitation, EHI); (ii) lists of Company’s or any of its Affiliates’ (including, without limitation, EHI) clients or leads or referrals to prospective
clients; and (iii) any computer equipment, home office equipment, mobile equipment (blackberries, cell phones, etc.) automobile or other business equipment belonging to Company or any of its Affiliates (including, without limitation, EHI), in
each case, only to the extent then in Employee’s possession or control.

sale of equity in SoulCycle Holdings pursuant to the Redemption Transaction, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending thirty (30) months after termination of Employee’s employment with the Company for any reason (the
“Restriction Period”), Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, own any interest in, operate, join (other than as a customer), control or participate as a partner, director, principal, officer, agent or spokesperson of, enter
into the employment of, act as a consultant or contractor to, or perform any services, paid or unpaid, for, or solicit investments in, any entity that is engaged in any business providing any form of in-premises fitness related training or classes,
other than full service health clubs and/or gyms, in any jurisdiction in which the Company or any of its Affiliates (including, without limitation, EHI) operates or in which any of the foregoing has documented plans to operate of which Employee has
knowledge at the time of Employee’s termination of employment. 
 (d) Non-Solicitation of Members and Customers. In
consideration of their sale of equity in SoulCycle Holdings pursuant to the Redemption Transaction, during the Restriction Period, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, for her own account or the account of any other party, in any jurisdiction
in which the Company or any of its Affiliates (including, without limitation, EHI) operates, has commenced or made plans to commence operations, solicit or induce any person who is a member or customer of the Company or any of its Affiliates
(including, without limitation, EHI) or any prospect, sales lead or potential member or customer thereof, to alter or terminate his or her membership or customer relationship with the Company or any of its Affiliates (including, without limitation,
EHI). 

  
 9 

 (e) Non-Solicitation of Employees. In consideration of their sale of equity in
SoulCycle Holdings pursuant to the Redemption Transaction, during the Restriction Period, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, for her own account or for the account of any other person in any jurisdiction in which the Company or any of its
Affiliates (including, without limitation, EHI) operates, has commenced or made plans to commence operations, (i) solicit for employment, employ or otherwise interfere with the relationship of the Company with any person who, during the
six-month period prior to such solicitation, employment or interference, is or was employed by or otherwise engaged to perform services for the Company or (ii) induce any employee of the Company to engage in any activity which Employee is
prohibited from engaging in under any of the paragraphs of this Section 5 or to terminate his or her employment with the Company; provided, however, this Section 5(c) shall not prohibit hiring anyone who responds to a general
solicitation or advertisement, or who was terminated by the Company without Cause or who resigned with Good Reason. 
 (f)
Non-Disparagement. In consideration of their sale of equity in SoulCycle Holdings pursuant to the Redemption Transaction, during the Restriction Period, neither Employee nor the Company or any of its Affiliates (including EHI) will,
directly or indirectly, (i) engage in any conduct or make any statement, whether in commercial or noncommercial speech, disparaging or criticizing in any way the other or any of its Affiliates, or any of the products or services offered by any
of them or (ii) engage in any other conduct or make any other statement, in each case, which could reasonably be expected to impair the goodwill or reputation of the other or any of its Affiliates, the reputation of the products and services of
the other or any of its Affiliates or the marketing of the products and services of the other or any of its Affiliates. 
 (g) Breach
by Company. Notwithstanding any other provisions to the contrary, in the event the Company fails to make a payment of the Severance Payments when due and fails to cure that non-payment within thirty (30) days of its receipt of written
notice from Employee specifying the nature of the breach, the Restriction Period shall terminate with respect to Employee’s obligations to the Company under Section 5(c), (d), (e) or (f). 

 

	6.	Injunctive Relief with Respect to Covenants. 

 (a) Certain
Acknowledgments. Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employee will have a prominent role in the management of the Company business and the development of the goodwill, of the Company and its Affiliates (including, without limitation, EHI)
and will establish and develop relations and contacts with the principal customers and suppliers of the Company and its Affiliates (including, without limitation, EHI) in the United States of America and the rest of the world, all of which
constitute valuable goodwill of, and could be used by Employee to compete unfairly with, the Company and its Affiliates (including, without limitation, EHI) and that (i) in the course of her employment with the Company, Employee will obtain
confidential and proprietary information and trade secrets concerning the business and operations of the Company and its Affiliates (including, without limitation, EHI) in the United States of America and the rest of the world that could be used to
compete unfairly with the Company and its Affiliates (including, without limitation, EHI); (ii) the covenants and restrictions contained in Section 5 are intended to protect the legitimate interests of the Company and its Affiliates
(including, without limitation, EHI) in their respective goodwill, trade secrets and other confidential and proprietary information; and (iii) Employee desires to be bound by such covenants and restrictions. 

(b) Injunctive Relief. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that a violation of any of the terms of Section 5
may cause the other irreparable injury for which adequate remedies are not available at law. Therefore, each of the parties agrees that the other shall be entitled to seek an injunction, restraining order or such other equitable relief (without the
requirement to post bond) as a court of competent jurisdiction may deem necessary or appropriate to restrain the other from committing any violation of such covenants, obligations or agreements. These injunctive remedies are cumulative and in
addition to any other rights and remedies the aggrieved party may have.

	7.	Entire Agreement 

 This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. All prior correspondence and proposals (including but not limited to summaries of proposed terms) and all prior promises, representations, understandings, practices and agreements relating to
such subject matter (including but not limited to (i) those made to or with Employee by any other person, and (ii) the Prior Employment Agreement from and after the Effective Date) are superseded hereby. 

 

	8.	Indemnification 

 The Company hereby agrees that it shall indemnify and hold
harmless Employee to the fullest extent permitted by law from and against any and all liabilities, costs, claims and expenses, including all costs and expenses incurred in defense of litigation (including attorneys’ fees and costs, as they are
incurred), arising out of the employment of Employee hereunder, except to the extent that any such liabilities, costs, claims and expenses are found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from arising out of or based up on the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Employee. Costs and expenses incurred by Employee in defense of such litigation (including attorneys’ fees and costs) shall be paid
by Company in advance of the final disposition of such litigation upon receipt by Company of (a) a written request for payment (b) appropriate documentation evidencing the incurrence, amount and nature of the costs and expenses for which
payment is being sought, and (c) an undertaking adequate under applicable law made by or on behalf of Employee to repay the amounts so paid if it shall ultimately be determined that Employee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company
under this Agreement, including but not limited to as a result of such exception. The Company and Employee will consult in good faith with respect to the conduct of any such litigation, and Employee’s counsel shall be selected with the consent
of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Company shall maintain and pay the premiums on an appropriate level and type (including without limitation, “Side A” coverage) of director’s and
officer’s liability insurance, and employment practices and general liability insurance, covering Employee during the Employment Period and during the Restriction Period.

	9.	Miscellaneous 

 (a) Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall

representatives. This Agreement shall not be assignable by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, except that the Company may effect such an assignment without prior written approval of Employee upon the
transfer of all or substantially all of its business and/or assets (by whatever means). 
 (b) Governing Law, etc. 

(i) Governing Law. This agreement shall be governed in all respects, including as to validity, interpretation and
effect, by the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the conflict of laws rules thereof to the extent that the application of the law of another jurisdiction would be required thereby.

New York and the federal courts of the United States of America located in the County of New York solely in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and of the documents referred to in this Agreement, and in
respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Each party hereby waives and agrees not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation and enforcement hereof, or any such document or in respect of any
such transaction, that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in such courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement or any such document may not be enforced in or by such courts.

other property until such requirements are satisfied. 
 (d) Amendments. No provision of this Agreement may be modified,
waived or discharged unless such modification, waiver or discharge is approved by the Board or a person authorized thereby and is agreed to in writing by Employee and the Company. No waiver by any party hereto at any time of any breach by any other
party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No

	10.	409A Compliance 

 All payments under this Agreement are intended to comply with or
be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”). As used in this Agreement, the “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as

  
 14 

 
amended. To the extent that any provision in this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A, such provision shall be read in such a manner so that no payment due to
Employee shall be subject to an “additional tax” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code. If necessary to comply with the restriction in Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code concerning payments to “specified
employees,” any payment on account of Employee’s separation from service that would otherwise be due hereunder within six (6) months after such separation shall be delayed until the first business day of the seventh month following
the date of termination and the first such payment shall include the cumulative amount of any payments that would have been paid prior to such date if not for such restriction, together with interest on such cumulative amount during the period of
such restriction at a rate, per annum, equal to the applicable federal short-term rate (compounded monthly) in effect under Section 1274(d) of the Code on the date of termination. Each payment in a series of payments hereunder shall be deemed
to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. In no event may Employee, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of payment. All reimbursements provided under this Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the
requirements of Section 409A, including, where applicable, the requirement that (i) any reimbursement is for expenses incurred during Employee’s lifetime (or during a shorter period of time specified in this Agreement), (ii) the
amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year, (iii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense will be made on or before the last day of the
calendar year following the year in which the expense is incurred, and (iv) the right to reimbursement is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Employee shall not
be considered to have terminated employment with the Company for purposes of Section 4(g) hereof unless Employee would be considered to have incurred a “termination of employment” from the Company within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation §1.409A-1(h)(1)(ii). 
  

	11.	Redemption Agreement. 

 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, this Agreement shall automatically, without further action, notice or deed, terminate upon the termination of the Redemption Agreement in accordance with its terms, and shall thereupon be null and void ab initio. During the
period of time from the date hereof until the Effective Date, or if the Effective Date shall not occur, then upon such termination, the Prior Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms as though this
Agreement never existed.
