    WHEREAS, L Brands and Service Provider have entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement dated as of August 2, 2021 (the “Separation
        Agreement”), pursuant to which and on the terms and conditions set forth therein, among other things, L Brands has agreed to distribute the VS Business to the holders of the L Brands Common Stock as of the Record Date;

    

    

    WHEREAS, pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Service Provider has agreed to enter into this Agreement to cause to be provided certain services to the Service Recipients on
      the terms and conditions set forth herein in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement; and

    

    

    WHEREAS, Service Provider has agreed to cause the Services to be provided in accordance with the terms hereof in order to facilitate the orderly separation of the L Brands
      Business from the VS Business.

    

    

    NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
      mutually acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

        shall have the following meanings:

    

    

    “Dependent Services” means, with respect to any specified Service (or portion thereof), any and all Services (or portion thereof)
      that, in Service Provider’s good faith reasonable determination, are dependent on the continuation of such specified Service (or portion thereof) or would be adversely affected by the termination or suspension of such specified Service (or portion
      thereof).

    

    

    “Disengagement Costs” means any and all costs, charges and expenses of any kind incurred by Service Provider or any of its Affiliates
      in connection with the termination of this Agreement or relating to the cessation of any Services hereunder, including all third-party charges, costs or fees, all third-party cancellation or termination charges, costs or fees and the market value of
      all Disengagement Services provided by other Persons.

    

    

    
      1

      
        

    

    “Disengagement Services” means all services (other than the Services) provided hereunder at the request of L Brands primarily for the

    “Service Costs” means the Service Fees and Service Taxes.

    

    

    “Services” means, subject to the limitations set forth herein and solely to the extent related to the L Brands Business, the

    Services

    

    

    Section 2.01.          Services.  (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Service Provider
        shall cause the Service Provider Parties to provide to L Brands and its Affiliates (collectively the “Service Recipients”), and the Service Recipients shall receive,
        the Services for the term indicated in Section 2.01(b).  A detailed description of each Service to be provided by the Service Provider Parties to the Service Recipients hereunder is set forth in the Service Schedules.

    

    

    (b)          Service Provider shall cause the Service Provider Parties to provide, and the
        Service Recipients shall receive, each Service for the period specified for such Service in the applicable Service Schedule (each such period, a “Term”).  The Term for each Service may be (i) extended or shortened by mutual written agreement of L Brands and Service Provider, and (ii) terminated by L Brands or Service Provider, as applicable, pursuant to Section 7.01, in each case to be reflected in an amendment to the applicable
        Service Schedule.

    

    

    (c)          In addition to the Services to be provided or procured by Service Provider in
        accordance with Section 2.01(a), if due to a good faith oversight, the Service Schedules fail to identify a service provided by the Service Provider Parties to the L Brands Business during the twelve-month period prior to the date hereof (an “Additional Service”), and such Additional Service is necessary for the Service Recipients during the term of this Agreement to operate the L Brands Business in substantially the same manner as the L Brands
        Business had been operated during the twelve-month period prior to the date hereof, upon written request of any Service Recipient that identifies and states its desire to receive such Additional Service, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good
        faith for Service Provider to provide or cause to be provided such Additional Service; provided that (i) nothing herein shall obligate either party hereto to agree to any such terms or to provide or receive any such Additional Service unless agreed in writing by both parties hereto and
        (ii) no Additional Service shall be provided for a Term extending beyond 24 months
        following the Distribution Date. To the extent the parties hereto reach a written agreement with respect to providing such Additional Service, the parties shall cooperate and act in good faith to add such Additional Service to the Service Schedules
        and mutually agree in good faith to a description of such Additional Service, the Term during which such Additional Service would be provided, the Service Fees for such Additional Service and any other terms applicable thereto. Upon amendment of
        the Service Schedules to include such Additional Service, such Additional Service shall be deemed part of the “Services” provided under this Agreement subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

    Section 2.02.          Service Provider’s Affiliates and
          Third-Party Providers.  In providing, or otherwise making available, the Services to the Service Recipients, Service Provider may use, at its discretion, its own personnel or the personnel of any of its Affiliates (including the TSA
        Employees) or employ the services of contractors, subcontractors, vendors or other third parties (each, a “Third-Party Provider”); provided that Service Provider
        shall remain responsible for ensuring that its obligations with respect to such Services, including the general standard of service described below under Section 2.03, are satisfied with respect to all Services provided by any Service Provider
        Party.  Each of Service Provider, its Affiliates and any Third Party Provider that provides Services shall be referred to as a “Service Provider Party”.

    

    

    Section 2.03.          General Standard of Service.  Except

        as otherwise agreed in writing by the parties hereto or expressly provided in this Agreement, each Service Provider Party shall provide Services in all material respects in substantially the same manner in terms of the nature, quality and standard
        of care as such services have been provided to the Affiliates and other businesses of Service Provider or L Brands, as applicable, during the twelve-month period prior to the date hereof and after the date hereof.  Service Provider shall not be
        responsible for any inability to provide a Service or any delay in doing so to the extent that such inability or delay is the result of the failure of any Service Recipient to timely provide the information, access or other cooperation necessary
        for a Service Provider Party to provide such Service.  Service Provider’s obligation to cause the Services to be provided in accordance with the standards set forth in this Section 2.03 shall be subject to Service Provider’s right to supplement,
        modify, substitute or otherwise alter any of the Services from time to time in a manner that is generally consistent with supplements, modifications, substitutions or alterations made for similar services provided or otherwise made available by a
        Service Provider Party to Service Provider or any of its Affiliates or as required by Applicable Law.

    

    

    Section 2.04.          Compliance with Applicable Law.  The

        parties hereto will comply, and will cause their Affiliates and their respective employees to comply, with all Applicable Law in the performance of this Agreement.

    Section 2.05.          Force Majeure.  Neither party
        hereto shall be liable to the other party hereto for any interruption of service, any delays or any failure to perform under this Agreement caused by matters or events occurring that are beyond the reasonable control of such party, including
        strikes, lockouts or other labor difficulties; fires, floods, acts of God, extremes of weather, earthquakes, tornadoes or similar occurrences; riot, insurrection or other hostilities; embargo; fuel or energy shortage; delays by unaffiliated
        suppliers or carriers; inability to obtain necessary labor, materials or utilities; or any epidemic, pandemic or disease outbreak (including COVID-19) or worsening thereof.  Any delays, interruptions or failures to perform caused by such
        occurrences shall not be deemed to be a breach or failure to perform under this Agreement; provided that (i) this Section 2.05 only operates to suspend, and not to discharge, a party’s obligations under this Agreement, and that when the
        causes of the failure or delay are removed or alleviated, the affected party shall resume performance of its obligations hereunder and to the extent such suspension adversely impacts the progress of the transition of any Service to a Service
        Recipient, the Service Recipient may request in writing that the Term for such Service shall be tolled for the duration of such suspension and (ii) this Section 2.05 shall not excuse a party’s obligation to pay money; provided, further, that L Brands shall not be obligated to pay (other than previously accrued Service Costs) for any particular Service during the pendency of Service Provider’s failure to provide such particular Service.  Each party hereto
        shall use its good faith efforts to promptly notify the other upon learning of the occurrence of such event of a force majeure and (x) the affected party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate and eliminate the force majeure in order to resume performance as
        promptly as practicable, provided that such affected party will have no obligation to incur any costs or liabilities to do so, and (y) the unaffected party shall have no obligation hereunder with respect to
        the obligations the affected party is unable to perform due to the force majeure event. If Service Provider is unable to provide any of the Services due to a force majeure event, the parties hereto shall use commercially reasonably efforts to
        cooperatively seek a solution that is mutually satisfactory, such as the subcontracting of all or part of the provision of the Services under the supervision of Service Provider for the period of time during or affected by the force majeure.

    

    

    Section 2.06.          Limitations.  (a) L Brands agrees that the Services will be used by each Service Recipient solely in connection with the operation
        of the L Brands Business and to facilitate an orderly separation of the L Brands Business from the VS Business following the Distribution Time.  No member of the L Brands Group may resell, license the use of or otherwise permit the use by any
        Person other than the Service Recipients of any Services, except with the prior written consent of Service Provider.

    

    

    (b)          In providing the Services, no Service Provider Party shall be obligated to, unless
        expressly agreed in writing by the parties or expressly set forth on the applicable Service Schedule: (i) hire any additional employees; (ii) maintain the employment of any specific employee; (iii) purchase, lease or
        license any additional equipment, hardware, Intellectual Property Right or software, except to the extent (A) software is reasonably necessary for the performance or receipt of a Service and (B) L Brands agrees to solely bear the applicable cost and expense (and which shall be subject to L Brands’ prior written approval) or (iv) provide any Service to any Service Recipient for any fiscal year at a volume or level that is more than 120% of the volume or level of such Service
        in the preceding fiscal year.

    Section 2.07.          Labor Matters.  All labor
        matters relating to any TSA Employees shall be within the exclusive control of Service Provider (or its applicable Affiliate or Third-Party Provider), and L Brands and its Affiliates shall not take any action affecting such matters.  Except as
        expressly provided in Article 4, nothing in this Agreement is intended to transfer the employment of any TSA Employee to L Brands or any of its Affiliates.  All TSA Employees will be deemed for all compensation, employee benefits, tax and social
        security contribution purposes to be employees of Service Provider (or its applicable Affiliate or Third-Party Provider) and not employees of L Brands or any of its Affiliates.  In providing the Services, the TSA Employees will be under the
        direction, control and supervision of Service Provider or its Affiliates or Third-Party Provider and not of L Brands or any of its Affiliates. Except with respect to the L Brands Assets, or any other assets and materials provided by L Brands in
        accordance with Section 2.08(b), all procedures, methods, systems, strategies, tools, equipment, facilities and other resources of any Service Provider Party that are used by any Service Provider Party in connection with the provision of Services
        hereunder (including any Intellectual Property Right whether existing or created in connection with the provision of the Services or otherwise) shall remain the property of such Service Provider Party and shall at all times be under the sole
        direction and control of Service Provider.

    

    

    Section 2.08.          Facilities; Cooperation; Further
          Actions.  (a) Service Provider and L Brands shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, and to keep and maintain in effect (or to cause their respective Affiliates to obtain, and to keep and maintain in effect) all
        governmental or third-party licenses and consents required for the provision of any Service by a Service Provider Party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided that if Service Provider or
        any of its Affiliates is unable to obtain any such license or consent, Service Provider shall promptly notify L Brands in writing and shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to implement an appropriate
        alternative arrangement.  The costs relating to obtaining any such licenses or consents shall be borne solely by L Brands (the “Third-Party Consent Costs”) and none of Service Provider or any of its
        Affiliates shall be required to pay any money or other consideration or grant any other accommodation to any Person (including any amendment to any contract) or initiate any action, suit or proceeding against any Person to obtain any such license
        or consent; provided that Service Provider and its Affiliates shall not incur any such costs without the prior written consent of L Brands.  If any such license, consent or alternative arrangement is not
        available despite the commercially reasonable efforts of Service Provider and its Affiliates or as a result of L Brands failing to consent to the incurrence of costs relating to obtaining any such license or consent, Service Provider shall not be
        required to cause to be provided the affected Services.

    

    

    (b)          To the extent necessary, or upon Service Provider’s reasonable request, L Brands
        shall make all L Brands Assets or other facilities (including all ancillary facilities-related services), assets, information technology systems and applications or materials of the Service Recipients available to Service Provider or the applicable
        Service Provider Party for the provision of the Services (it being understood that, as between the parties hereto, title to all L Brands Assets and such other facilities, assets, information technology systems and applications or materials shall at
        all times remain with the applicable Service Recipient and such Service Recipient shall at all times be the owner of record of such L Brands Assets and other facilities, assets, information technology systems and applications or materials and shall
        be solely responsible for any matters arising therefrom or related thereto); provided that in the event L Brands fails to make any such L Brands Assets or other facilities, assets, information technology
        systems and applications or materials available to Service Provider or the applicable Service Provider Party, Service Provider shall have no further obligation to provide any affected Services to the extent such L Brands Assets or other facilities,
        assets, information technology systems and applications or materials are required for the provision of such Services.

    Section 2.09.          Intellectual Property.  (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of
        this Agreement, with respect to each Service, Service Provider (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) hereby grants to each Service Recipient and its Affiliates a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicenseable, non-assignable (except as expressly
        provided for in Section 9.04) license, solely during the Term for such Service, to use any Intellectual Property Right (other than Trademarks), software and data that is (i) owned by Service Provider or its Affiliates and (ii) provided or otherwise made available by Service Provider or its Affiliates to such
        Service Recipient as part of such Service, but in each case solely to the extent necessary for such Service Recipient and its Affiliates to receive and use such Service as provided for and in accordance with this Agreement, subject to any
        applicable third-party restrictions or limitations.

    

    

    (b)          Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, with respect to each Service,
        each Service Recipient (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) hereby grants to Service Provider and its Affiliates a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-sublicenseable (except as expressly set forth herein), non-assignable (except as
        expressly provided for in Section 9.04) license, solely during the Term for such Service, in and to any Intellectual Property Right (other than Trademarks), software and data owned or controlled by such Service Recipient or any of its Affiliates,
        but in each case solely to the extent necessary for Service Provider, its Affiliates or any Third-Party Provider to perform such Service as provided for and in accordance with this Agreement, subject to any applicable third-party restrictions or
        limitations (it being understood that Service Provider shall have the right to grant a sublicense under the foregoing license to any Third-Party Provider).

    

    

    (c)          ALL SERVICES AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS LICENSED HEREUNDER ARE PROVIDED ON AN
        “AS IS” BASIS WITH NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.  EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NO LICENSES OR OTHER
        RIGHTS TO ANY SOFTWARE, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, DATA OR OTHER ASSETS ARE GRANTED TO EITHER PARTY HERETO UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER BY IMPLICATION, ESTOPPEL, EXHAUSTION OR OTHERWISE, AND EACH PARTY HERETO RETAINS AND RESERVES ALL RIGHTS NOT
        EXPRESSLY GRANTED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

    (d)          The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, as between the parties, Service
        Provider shall solely own all right, title and interest in and to all Intellectual Property Rights (other than Trademarks) authored, conceived, developed or reduced to practice by any Service Provider Party (whether solely or jointly with others)
        in connection with the Services (“Developed Intellectual Property”), provided that L Brands shall own all right, title and interest in and to all Developed
        Intellectual Property exclusively used in the L Brands Business (“L Brands Developed Intellectual Property”). L Brands hereby irrevocably assigns, and shall cause the other Service Recipients to assign, to
        Service Provider all of its or their right, title and interest in and to all Developed Intellectual Property (other than L Brands Developed Intellectual Property), and hereby waives any and all moral rights that it or they may have in all such
        Developed Intellectual Property. Service Provider hereby irrevocably assigns, and shall cause the other Service Provider Parties to assign, to L Brands all of its or their right, title and interest in and to all L Brands Developed Intellectual
        Property, and hereby waives any and all moral rights that it or they may have in any L Brands Developed Intellectual Property. The parties hereto agree to execute all other documents and take all actions as may be necessary or desirable to enable

        Service Provider Party (other than any data of any Service Recipient), except to the extent required to receive the Services; (b) maintain reasonable security measures to protect the systems of each Service Provider Party to which it has access pursuant to this Agreement from
        access by unauthorized third parties, and any “back door”, “time bomb”, “Trojan Horse”, “worm”, “drop dead device”, “virus” or other computer software routine intended or designed to disrupt, disable, harm or otherwise impede in any manner the
        operation of such systems; (c) not
        permit access or use of information technology systems of any Service Provider Party by a third party other than as authorized by prior written consent of Service Provider; (d) not disable, damage or erase or disrupt or impair the normal operation of the information technology systems
        of any Service Provider Party; and (e) comply with the security policies and
        procedures of each Service Provider Party (to the extent previously provided to each Service Recipient in writing).  Each party hereto shall promptly notify the other party in the event it or any of its respective Affiliates becomes aware of or
        suspects that there has been a breach of security or a loss, theft or unauthorized access, use or disclosure of any information technology systems (collectively, “IT Breach”) of any Service Provider Party or
        any Service Recipient to the extent such (i) IT Breach could adversely affect the provision or receipt of the Services hereunder or such other party’s data or Confidential Information or (ii) notice is required by Applicable Law.

    Section 2.12.          Policies and Procedures.  L
        Brands shall cause each Service Recipient and its employees, officers, directors, advisors and representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) and any subcontractors to comply with the internal policies,
        procedures, rules and regulations of the Service Provider Parties (as may be updated from time to time) applicable to (a) the use of the Service Provider Parties’ information technology systems, computers, networks, telephone systems, software, data, equipment or other facilities in
        connection with the Services or (b)
        such Service Recipient’s conduct while on a Service Provider Party’s premises or utilizing a Service Provider Party’s facilities in connection with the Services, in each case to the extent such policies, procedures, rules or regulations are
        generally applicable to such Service Provider Party’s own organization.

    

    

    Section 2.13.          Access to Information.  (a) Subject to Applicable Law, L Brands shall, and shall cause the other
        Service Recipients to, with respect to any Service during the Term of such Service, upon reasonable advance notice, afford Service Provider and its Representatives, including Service Provider’s internal and external auditors, reasonable access,
        during normal business hours, to the employees, properties, books and records and other documents of the Service Recipients that are reasonably requested by Service Provider in connection with the provision and receipt of such Service hereunder.

    

    

    (b)          Subject to Applicable Law, Service Provider shall, upon reasonable advance notice,
        afford L Brands’ internal audit associates and L Brands’ current external audit firm (who has executed an appropriate confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to Service Provider) reasonable access, during normal business hours, to the
        information technology systems used by Service Provider with respect to the provision of any Service hereunder solely during the Term of such Service and solely for the purpose of performing audit procedures to support the audit of L Brands’
        financial statements and L Brands’ internal control environment, including L Brands’ Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. L Brands’ internal audit associates and L Brands’ external audit firm shall be authorized to maintain
        documentation supporting the findings of their respective audit procedures. If L Brands wishes to use a new external audit firm for its 2021 or 2022 fiscal year audits, L Brands must obtain prior written consent from Service Provider, and such new
        firm must execute an appropriate confidentiality agreement reasonable acceptable to Service Provider, before such new firm is granted access to Service Provider’s information technology systems pursuant to this Section 2.13(b).

    Section 2.14.          Transition Governance. 
        Service Provider, on the one hand, and L Brands, on the other hand, shall each designate a service manager (that party’s “Service Manager”), who shall be directly responsible for coordinating and managing for
        the party he or she represents all activities undertaken by such party hereunder, including making available to the other party the information, facilities, resources and other support services required for the performance of, or receipt of, the
        Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  The Service Managers shall meet or confer, by telephone or in person, from time to time as necessary, and at least once per month or otherwise as the parties agree, during the term of this
        Agreement in order to promote open and efficient communication regarding effective and coordinated performance of, and the resolution of questions and issues related to, the Services.  The Service Managers shall also discuss progress in the
        transition of the Services hereunder and may establish a set of procedures, including frequency of meetings and reporting, and other reasonable structures for their cooperation and the cooperation of the parties in the execution of their
        obligations pursuant to this Agreement.  Service Provider, on the one hand, and L Brands, on the other hand, may, in its sole discretion, replace its respective Service Manager from time to time with a substitute upon notice to the other party.

    

    

    ARTICLE 3

    Service Fees

    

    

    Section 3.01.          Fees for Services.

    

    

    (a)          In consideration for the Services provided under this Agreement, L Brands shall pay
        to Service Provider (or the Service Provider Party designated by Service Provider) the fees for each Service, as calculated below.

    

    

    (b)          Each Service Schedule indicates, with respect to each Service listed therein,
        whether the costs to be charged to the Service Recipients for such Service are determined by (i) the customary billing method described in Section 3.02 (“Customary Billing”), (ii) the pass-through billing method described in Section 3.03 (“Pass-Through Billing”), (iii) the percentage of net sales method described in Section 3.04 (“Percent of Sales Billing”),

        (iv) the fixed fee method described in Section 3.05 (“Fixed Fee Billing”), (v) a specific billing method to be mutually
        agreed upon by the applicable Service Recipients and Service Provider (“Specific Billing”) or (vi) some combination thereof.  The amounts calculated by the Service Provider pursuant to the Customary Billing, Pass-Through Billing,
        Percent of Sales Billing, Fixed Fee Billing and Specific Billing methods applicable to Services provided to the Service Recipients and charged to the Service Recipients as provided herein, together with any and all Disengagement Costs incurred in
        connection with the provision of any and all Disengagement Services, are collectively referred to herein as the “Service Fees.”

    

    

    
      11

      
        

    

    (c)          The Service Fees calculated pursuant to each of the specific billing methods described herein may include without limitation (and without duplication) one or more of the following costs: (i) direct (i.e., out-of-pocket) costs incurred by the Service Provider Parties in providing the Services, (ii) subject to the express terms of any applicable Service Schedule, a reasonably and
        fairly allocated portion of costs or expenses (including the allocable portion of the compensation, benefits and other employment-related costs relating to the TSA Employees (including with respect to participation by such TSA Employees in any VS
        H&W Plan (as defined in the Employee Matters Agreement), but, excluding the cost of any severance and other termination-related payments and benefits (which shall be reimbursable in accordance with Section 4.04), and service-specific overhead
        costs and the costs of depreciation of new and existing assets) incurred by one or more of the Service Provider Parties in providing services to one or more of the Service Provider and its Affiliates and the Service Recipients (each, an “Allocated Cost”), and (iii) third-party costs,
        including but not limited to Third-Party Consent Costs, incurred by one or more of the Service Provider Parties in providing the Services (each of (i)-(iii), a “Cost Component,” and collectively, the “Cost Components”). To the extent expressly set forth in the Service Schedules, the Service Fees may include a cost-plus billing method based upon the aggregate costs incurred by Service Provider or its Affiliates
        relative to a particular Service plus a percentage of such costs in consideration of Service Provider’s or its Affiliates’ procurement and administration (“Administrative Charge”) of such Service.

    

    

    (d)          The parties hereto intend and agree that this Agreement provides for the orderly and
        efficient separation of the L Brands Business from the VS Business following the Distribution Time and that the methods of calculation of the Service Fees hereunder shall permit the Service Provider (or its Affiliates, if so designated) to receive
        full reimbursement for all overhead, administrative and supervisory costs and expenses incurred directly or indirectly by the Service Provider Parties in connection with the provision of the Services consistent with the manner in which the Service
        Provider Party charges and/or receives reimbursement from its Affiliates from time to time (including one or more of the Cost Components, together with any other amounts agreed to by the parties hereto) as provided in the applicable Service
        Schedule or as otherwise agreed by the parties hereto.  It is further understood and agreed that when any Service Fees for Services hereunder are to be determined or agreed upon by Service Provider and L Brands (whether before or after the
        Distribution Time), such Service Fees shall, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, in all events, include all pertinent Cost Components and any other amounts therefor mutually agreed to by the parties hereto, including any Administrative
        Charge to the extent expressly set forth in the Service Schedule.

    

    

    Section 3.02.          Customary Billing.  The
        Service Fees to which the Customary Billing method applies shall, subject to Section 3.01(c) and (d), be calculated on a basis that is substantially equivalent to the basis on which costs are attributed (whether through direct or indirect charges,
        allocations or otherwise) from time to time, now or in the future, to other companies or businesses operated by Service Provider for the same or comparable services (including one or more of the Cost Components); provided
        that (i) in respect of any particular
        Services, if Service Provider does not generally attribute costs associated with the same or comparable services to other companies or businesses operated by Service Provider as provided above, then the Customary Billing method for such Services
        shall be equivalent to the market value of all Services provided by Service Provider personnel and other Persons (including all Cost Components) which are reasonably allocable to the provision of such Services to the Service Recipients and (ii) if Service Provider provides financial
        relief from time to time to any companies or businesses operated by Service Provider with respect to any costs, fees, expenses and/or allocations that are otherwise generally allocated to or paid by companies or businesses operated by Service
        Provider, the Service Recipients shall not be entitled to the same financial relief.

    

    

    
      12

      
        

    

    Section 3.03.          Pass-Through Billing.  The
        costs of Services to which the Pass-Through Billing method applies shall, subject to Section 3.01(c) and (d), be equal to the aggregate amount of the third-party costs and expenses incurred (which costs shall include but not be limited to
        adjustments for attributable rebates and Third-Party Consent Costs) by any Service Provider Party on behalf of the Service Recipients.

    

    

    Section 3.04.          Percent of Sales Billing. 
        The costs of Services to which the Percent-of-Sales Billing method applies shall, subject to Section 3.01(c) and (d), be equal to the amount obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate cost incurred each month by the Service Provider and its
        Affiliates in providing such Services to one or more businesses of Service Provider or its Affiliates and to all Service Recipients by (y) the Net Sales Ratio for such month.  “Net Sales Ratio” means the net
        sales of the applicable Service Recipients for a particular month divided by the aggregate net sales of all businesses of Service Provider, combined with (i) the net sales of the Service Recipient to which costs for such month are being allocated and (ii) the net sales of any Service Recipient other than the
        Service Recipient identified in clause (i) receiving such Services to which costs for such month are being allocated.  In order to permit Service Provider to calculate the billing method provided for in this Section 3.04 (and for no other purpose),
        the applicable Service Recipient shall provide Service Provider with all reasonably necessary sales information not later than the close of business on the first Business Day immediately following such calendar month.

    

    

    Section 3.05.          Fixed Fee Billing.  The cost
        of Services to which the Fixed Fee Billing method applies shall be in the amount set forth in the applicable Service Schedule.

    

    

    Section 3.06.          Invoicing of Fees.  (a) Service Provider shall invoice, or shall cause the applicable Service Provider Party to invoice, L Brands on a monthly basis (not later than the 15th
        day of the following month), for the Service Costs and any applicable Disengagement Costs incurred in the prior month, including reasonable supporting data.  Service Provider shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause invoices to be
        presented to L Brands on the schedule set forth in this Section 3.06, but no delay in presentation of an invoice shall affect L Brands’ obligation to pay the full amount of such invoice, when presented, on the terms set forth herein.

    

    

    (b)          Except as specifically provided on the applicable Service Schedule,  L Brands shall
        pay, or shall cause to be paid, each invoice delivered pursuant to Section 3.06(a) on or before the date (each, a “Payment Date”) that is 30 days after the date of receipt of such invoice.  Such payments
        shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Service Provider.

    

    

    
      13

      
        

    

    (c)          If L Brands fails to pay the full amount of any invoice under this Agreement within
        15 days of the applicable Payment Date, L Brands shall be obligated to pay, in addition to the amount due on such Payment Date, interest on such amount at the rate of 12% per annum, compounded monthly from the applicable Payment Date through the
        date of payment; provided that such interest rate shall not exceed the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law.  All payments made shall be applied first to unpaid interest and then to amounts invoiced but
        unpaid.  If L Brands fails to pay the full amount of any invoice within 30 days of the applicable Payment Date, such failure shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement, and to the extent the aggregate amount of such overdue unpaid
        invoices exceeds $1,000,000, Service Provider may, after 10 days’ prior notice to L Brands, elect to suspend, without liability, its obligations hereunder to cause to be provided any or all Services to L Brands until such time as such invoices have
        been paid in full.

    

    

    (d)          If any Service requires any Service Provider Party to make any payment to any third
        party on behalf of any Service Recipient or any of its Affiliates,  L Brands shall deposit, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Service Provider, the amount of such payment at least one Business Day prior to
        the date on which such payment is to be made; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Service Provider shall have no obligation to cause any such payment to be made unless
        and until L Brands deposits the full amount of any such payment in accordance with this Section 3.06(d).

    

    

    Section 3.07.          Right to Set Off. 
        Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the L Brands to VS TSA to the contrary and without limiting any of L Brands’ or any of its Affiliates’ other remedies under contract or Applicable Law, L Brands shall have the right, but not the
        obligation, to set off any payments that are past due by Service Provider or any member of the VS Group under the L Brands to VS TSA and not yet paid by Service Provider or any such VS Group member against any Service Fees that have become payable
        and not yet been paid by L Brands hereunder; provided that such set-off amount shall be identified in reasonable detail in the next applicable invoice sent to Service Provider. Except as set forth herein, L
        Brands hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any rights of set-off, netting, offset, recoupment or similar right that L Brands has or may have with respect to the payment of the Service Fees or any other payments to be made by L Brands
        pursuant to this Agreement.

    

    

    Section 3.08.          Taxes.  (a) L Brands shall bear and pay all
        applicable sales, use, transaction, consumption, excise, services, value-added, transfer, payroll, employment and other similar Taxes (and any related interest, penalty, addition to tax or additional amount imposed) incurred or imposed with respect
        to the provision of the Services, to this Agreement or to any payment hereunder (“Service Taxes”), whether or not such Service Taxes are shown on any invoices. If any Service Provider Party pays any portion
        of such Service Taxes, L Brands shall reimburse such Service Provider Party within five (5) days of receipt of evidence that such Service Taxes have been paid. Any Service Taxes shall be incremental to other payments or charges identified in this
        Agreement.

    

    

    (b)          All sums payable under this Agreement shall be paid free and clear of all deductions
        or withholdings unless such deduction or withholding is required by Applicable Law, in which event L Brands shall promptly inform the Service Provider Party of such required deduction or withholding and the amount of the payment due from L Brands
        shall be increased to an amount that after any deduction or withholding leaves an amount equal to the payment that would have been due if no such deduction or withholding had been required. L Brands shall pay (or cause to be paid) such deducted or
        withheld amounts over to the applicable Governmental Authority in accordance with the requirements of Applicable Law and provide the applicable Service Provider Party with an official receipt confirming payment.

    

    

    
      14

      
        

    

    Section 3.09.          Audits.  Throughout the term
        of this Agreement and for one year thereafter, L Brands shall have the right once within each calendar year, at its own expense and on 30 days’ advance written notice to Service Provider, to have an independent auditor reasonably acceptable to
        Service Provider (and who has executed an appropriate confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to Service Provider) audit the books and records of Service Provider or any of its Affiliates for the sole purpose of certifying the accuracy of
        the Service Fees and Cost Components charged by Service Provider to the Service Recipients in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the preceding calendar year; provided that (i) any such audit
        shall take place during reasonable business hours on a mutually agreed-upon date, (ii) such auditor shall in no event be entitled to any contingency fee (or otherwise have any portion of its compensation be directly or indirectly determined based
        on the outcome of such audit) and (iii) no such books and records may be audited more than one time. Service Provider may designate competitively sensitive information which such auditor may see and review but which it may not disclose to L Brands,
        and all such books and records, and any applicable audit report and findings, shall be the Confidential Information of Service Provider.  L Brands shall provide to Service Provider a copy of each such audit report promptly after its receipt
        thereof.  In the event that any such audit indicates any overpayment or underpayment of amounts paid to Service Provider by any Service Recipient, the applicable party shall pay to the other party (within 30 days following the date of delivery of
        such audit report to Service Provider) the amount of such overpayment or underpayment, as the case may be, plus (if the overpayment or underpayment amount exceeds $250,000.00) interest accruing monthly from the date of such overpayment or
        underpayment until such amount is paid at 12% per annum, compounded monthly from the relevant payment due date through the date of payment (provided that such interest rate shall not exceed the maximum rate
        permitted by Applicable Law). If either party hereto has a good faith dispute with respect to the findings of such audit, the parties shall follow the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 9.07.

        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in the Employee Matters Agreement:

     

      

    (a)          Service Provider or an Affiliate of Service Provider shall retain in its employ each
        Transition Employee until the Transition Date applicable to such Transition Employee (unless the employment of the relevant Transition Employee is otherwise terminated by such Transition Employee or by the employer of such Transition Employee in
        the ordinary course of business); and

    

    

    

    

    (b)          L Brands shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, offer employment to each
        Transition Employee, effective as of the Transition Date applicable to such Transition Employee, in accordance with Section 4.03 below.

    (i)          “Transition Employee”
        means each TSA Employee with respect to whom Service Provider and L Brands have mutually identified and agreed in writing will transfer employment from Service Provider or one of its Affiliates to L Brands or one of its Affiliates.

    

    

    (ii)          “Transition Date” means,

        following the last day of the applicable Term, as identified in the applicable Service Schedule, (B) the termination of (x) the applicable Service in which such Transition Employee is engaged or (y) this Agreement, in each case pursuant to Section 7.01 or (C) any other day mutually agreed upon in writing by L Brands and Service
        Provider.

      16

      
        

    

    (d)          As provided under the Employee Matters Agreement, and without limiting any other
        provisions of this Agreement or the Employee Matters Agreement, L Brands (or its applicable Affiliate) will take all measures that are required or appropriate in order to (i) effectuate the transfer of employment of each Transition Employee to L
        Brands (or its applicable Affiliate) as of the Transition Date applicable to such Transition Employee (including by making an offer of employment to such Transition Employee in accordance with the terms of this Article 4) and (ii) avoid and
        mitigate, to the maximum extent possible, the incurrence of any severance obligations or termination-related obligations in connection with the transfer of employment of any Transition Employee to L Brands (or its applicable Affiliate) in
        accordance with this Section 4.03 (including by the provision of all appropriate notices, assurances and offers of employment and the assignment and assumption of obligations or undertakings with respect to the employment, compensation, benefits,

        Affiliates) pursuant to the Employee Matters Agreement.  L Brands shall notify Service Provider in writing of each offer of employment made by L Brands (or its applicable Affiliate) to each Transition Employee, including the date of the offer, the

    (b)          For purposes of this Agreement:

    

    

    (i)          “Covered Severance Costs”
        means the total cost of any severance and other termination-related payments and benefits payable in respect of the applicable TSA Employee that are incurred in the ordinary course of business pursuant to the terms of any applicable VS Plan (as
        defined in the Employee Matters Agreement) then in effect (including, without limitation, pursuant to (A) any applicable severance guidelines of Service Provider or any of its Affiliates covering such TSA Employee, (B) any applicable employment,
        retention, severance or similar agreement with such TSA Employee or (C) Applicable
        Law).

    

    

    (ii)          “Covered TSA Employee”
        means, with respect to any applicable Service, any TSA Employee who (A) is engaged in such Service and (B) is either (x) employed by Service Provider or one of its Affiliates as of the Distribution Date or (B) hired by Service Provider or one of
        its Affiliates following the Distribution Date in accordance with the Hiring Plan.

    

    

    (c)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any TSA Employee
        who is not a Covered TSA Employee (for the avoidance of doubt, as a result of being hired by Service Provider or one of its Affiliates following the Distribution Date outside of the scope of the Hiring Plan) (each, an “Excluded TSA Employee”), in the event of a termination of the employment of such Excluded TSA Employee at any time, Service Provider shall bear 100% of the cost of any severance and other termination-related payments and benefits
        (including any Covered Severance Costs) payable in respect of such Excluded TSA Employee.

    

    

    (d)          For the avoidance of doubt, each Covered TSA Employee and Excluded TSA Employee
        shall constitute a TSA Employee for all purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, for purposes of Article 3 of this Agreement).

    

    

    (e)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that (i) any Covered
        TSA Employee or Excluded TSA Employee, as applicable, is identified as a Transition Employee in accordance with Section 4.02(c) of this Agreement and (ii) such Covered TSA Employee or Excluded Employee, as applicable, transfers employment to L
        Brands or one of its Affiliates in accordance with Section 4.03 of this Agreement, then effective as of the applicable Transition Date (and following the effective time of such employment transfer on the Transition Date), the terms of the Employee
        Matters Agreement shall apply with respect to the allocation of responsibility amongst Service Provider and L Brands with respect to the cost of any severance or other termination-related obligations in respect of any termination of employment of
        such Covered TSA Employee or Excluded TSA Employee, as applicable, that occurs following the applicable Transition Date (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the terms of this Section 4.04 shall not apply to any such termination of employment that
        occurs following such transfer of employment to L Brands or one of its Affiliates).

      Section 5.01.          Confidentiality.  From and after the Effective Date, each party hereto shall hold, and cause its Representatives to hold, in
        confidence, unless compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of law (in which event the disclosing party first notifies the other party hereto of such process or requirement and allows such party a
        reasonable opportunity to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy to prevent such disclosure), all documents and information concerning the other party hereto provided to it pursuant to this Agreement (“Confidential

          Information”), and shall not, without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, disclose or use any Confidential Information of the other party hereto except as necessary in the performance of its obligations under this
        Agreement; provided that the term “Confidential Information” (a) does not include information that is or becomes generally available to the public (other than as a
        result of a breach of this Agreement), (b) does not include information that was available to the receiving party or any of its Affiliates on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to such receiving
        party or its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement (except that this clause (b) shall not apply to information of either party hereto in the possession of the other party prior to the date hereof by virtue of their previous Affiliate relationship),
        (c) does not include information that is or becomes available to the receiving party or any of its Affiliates from a third party not known by the receiving party or its
        Affiliates to be bound by a confidentiality agreement or any legal, fiduciary or other obligation restricting disclosure of such information and (d) does not include
        information that is or was independently developed by the receiving party or any of its Affiliates without use of Confidential Information or otherwise violating this Agreement.  Nothing in this Section 5.01 shall limit any other confidentiality
        obligations among the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any other agreement among such parties.

    

    

    

    Section 5.02.          No Rights to Confidential
          Information.  Each party hereto acknowledges that it will not acquire any right, title or interest in or to any Confidential Information of the other party hereto by reason of this Agreement or the provision or receipt of Services

          Agreements.  To the extent that any third-party proprietor of information or software to be disclosed or made available to any Service Recipient in connection with the performance of Services requires a specific form of non-disclosure
        agreement as a condition of its consent to use of the same for the benefit of such Service Recipient or to permit any Service Recipient access to such information or software, L Brands shall cause such Service Recipient to execute (and will cause
        such Service Recipient’s employees to execute, if required) any such form.

    

    

    Section 5.04.          Safeguards.  Each party
        hereto agrees to establish and maintain administrative, physical and technical safeguards, information technology and data security procedures and other protections against the destruction, loss, unauthorized access or alteration of the other
        party’s Confidential Information which are no less rigorous than those otherwise maintained for its own Confidential Information.

    ARTICLE 6

    Indemnification; Limitation of Liability

    

    

    Section 6.01.          Indemnification.  (a) L Brands agrees to indemnify and hold
        harmless Service Provider and each other Service Provider Party, their respective Affiliates and their and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Service Provider Indemnitees”) from and against
        any and all damage, loss and expense (including reasonable expenses of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses in connection with any action, suit or proceeding whether involving a third-party claim or a claim solely between the
        parties hereto) (“Damages”) asserted against or incurred by any Service Provider Indemnitee as a result or arising out of (i) a Service Recipient’s or any of its Affiliates’ breach of this Agreement, (ii) the provision of the Services by such Service Provider Indemnitee or the use of the Services by a Service
        Recipient or any of its Affiliates or (iii) a Service Recipient’s or any of its Affiliates’ gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct; provided that L Brands shall not be responsible for any Damages to
        the extent Service Provider is required to indemnify a Service Recipient Indemnitee pursuant to Section 6.01(b).

    

    

    (b)          Service Provider agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Service Recipient,
        its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Service Recipient Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Damages asserted against or incurred by any Service Recipient
        Indemnitee as a result or arising out of (i)
        a Service Provider Party’s breach of this Agreement or (ii) a Service Provider’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct; provided that Service Provider shall not be responsible for any Damages to the extent L Brands is
        required to indemnify a Service Provider Indemnitee pursuant to Section 6.01(a).

    

    

    Section 6.02.          Third-Party Claim Procedures. 

        (a) The party seeking indemnification
        under Section 6.01 (the “Indemnified Party”) agrees to give prompt notice in writing to the party against whom indemnity is to be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of
        the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding by any third-party (“Third-Party Claim”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought under such Section.  Such notice shall set
        forth in reasonable detail such Third-Party Claim and the basis for indemnification (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party).  The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying
        Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

    

    

    (b)          The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any
        Third-Party Claim and, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 6.02, shall be entitled to control and appoint lead counsel for such defense, in each case at its own expense.

    

    

    (c)          If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the control of the defense of any Third-Party
        Claim in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.02, (i) the Indemnifying
        Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before entering into any settlement of such Third-Party Claim, if the settlement does not release the
        Indemnified Party and its Affiliates from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such Third-Party Claim or the settlement imposes injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates and (ii) the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim and to employ separate counsel of its choice for such purpose. 
        The fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party.

    

    

    
      20

      
        

    

    (d)          Each party hereto shall cooperate, and cause their respective Affiliates to
        cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any Third-Party Claim and shall furnish or cause to be furnished such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be
        reasonably requested in connection therewith.

    

    

    Section 6.03.          Direct Claim Procedures.  In
        the event an Indemnified Party has a claim for indemnity under Section 6.01 against an Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party agrees to give prompt notice in writing of such claim to the Indemnifying
        Party.  Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such claim and the basis for indemnification (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party).  The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve
        the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.  If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within 30 days following
        the receipt of a notice with respect to any such claim that the Indemnifying Party disputes its indemnity obligation to the Indemnified Party for any Damages with respect to such claim, such Damages shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the
        Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party shall promptly pay to the Indemnified Party any and all Damages arising out of such claim.  If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its indemnity obligation for any Damages with respect to such
        claim, the parties shall follow the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 9.07.

    

    

    Section 6.04.          Calculation of Damages.  The
        amount of any Damages payable under Section 6.01 by the Indemnifying Party shall be net of any amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party under applicable insurance policies or from any other Person alleged to be responsible therefor.  If the
        Indemnified Party receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies, or from any other Person alleged to be responsible for any Damages, subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party, then such Indemnified Party shall
        promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred by such Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification payment up to the amount received by the Indemnified Party, net of any expenses incurred
        by such Indemnified Party in collecting such amount.

    

    

    Section 6.05.          No Warranties.  Except as
        expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither party hereto makes, and no party hereto is relying on, any warranty, express or implied, with respect to the Services and each party hereto hereby specifically disclaims any implied warranty of
        reasonable care or workmanlike effort.

    

    

    
      21

      
        

    

    Section 6.06.          Limitation of Liability; Exclusion
          of Damages.  (a) TO THE
        MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EXCEPT FOR A PARTY’S BREACH OF ITS CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR A PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE, FRAUD OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, NO PARTY HERETO WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY (I) PUNITIVE, SPECIAL,
        CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR TREBLED DAMAGES (IN EACH CASE, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PAYABLE TO A THIRD PARTY IN RESPECT OF A THIRD-PARTY PROCEEDING BASED ON A FINAL JUDGMENT OF A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION) OR (II) LOST PROFITS, DIMINUTION IN
        VALUE, MULTIPLE-BASED OR OTHER DAMAGES CALCULATED BASED ON A MULTIPLE OF ANOTHER FINANCIAL MEASURE, IN EACH CASE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT EVEN IF THE OTHER PARTY HAD BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

    

    

    (b)          NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING ELSE HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, EXCEPT FOR SERVICE PROVIDER’S
        GROSS NEGLIGENCE, FRAUD OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, THE MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF SERVICE PROVIDER TO THE SERVICE RECIPIENTS OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED AND SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE FEES ACTUALLY
        RECEIVED BY SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE SERVICES HEREUNDER (THE “CAP”); PROVIDED THAT, WITH RESPECT TO ANY DAMAGES FOR WHICH SERVICE PROVIDER IS OBLIGATED TO INDEMNIFY L
        BRANDS UNDER SECTION 6.01(b) AND THAT RELATE TO DATA PRIVACY, CYBERSECURITY OR OTHER SIMILAR MATTERS, IF SERVICE PROVIDER, USING COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE EFFORTS AND EXERCISING GOOD FAITH, IS ABLE TO RECOVER AN AMOUNT GREATER THAN THE CAP FROM ITS
        APPLICABLE THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS, SUCH EXCESS RECOVERY SHALL BE PASSED THROUGH TO L BRANDS ON A PRO-RATA BASIS TO THE EXTENT OF SUCH DAMAGES.

    

    

    ARTICLE 7

    Termination of Services

    

    

    Section 7.01.          Termination.  (a) Notwithstanding Section 2.01, except as expressly set forth otherwise in the applicable Service Schedule, L Brands
        may, at any time during the term of this Agreement and for any reason, terminate Service Provider’s obligations to cause to be provided any or all Services, or any part of any Service, by giving at least 60 days’ prior written notice of such
        termination to Service Provider; provided that in the event L Brands elects to terminate any (but not all) of the Services, (i) Service Provider may, within 10 Business Days following its receipt of such termination notice, provide L Brands with written notice of all
        applicable Dependent Services, (ii)
        upon receiving Service Provider’s notice pursuant to the foregoing clause (i), L Brands may provide notice within five Business Days of such receipt of its withdrawal of its termination notice and (iii) if L Brands does not withdraw its termination notice within such five Business Day period, the Dependent Services
        shall automatically terminate upon the effective date of termination of such terminated Service. If L Brands notifies Service Provider of its intent to terminate any Service in part or reduce any Service, the Service Fees shall be reduced
        accordingly. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the first sentence of this Section 7.01(a), if L Brands elects to terminate the provision of less than all Services, Service Provider shall continue to be obligated to cause to be provided any and
        all remaining Services.

    

    

    
      22

      
        

    

    (b)          Service Provider may terminate its obligations to cause to be provided any or all
        Services at any time if L Brands shall have failed to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement relating to any such Service (including the failure to provide any access, information or data required to effectuate such Service),
        but only if Service Provider shall have notified L Brands in writing of such failure and such failure shall have continued for a period of 30 days after receipt by L Brands of such written notice.

    

    

    (c)          If the performance of any Service subjects any Service Provider Party to a
        reasonable risk of violating an Applicable Law or would reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect the business of Service Provider or its Affiliates, then the relevant Service Provider Party, (i) in the case of a violation of an Applicable Law, may immediately upon Service
        Provider providing written notice of such fact and the applicable Dependent Services to L Brands (it being understood that Service Provider shall provide L Brands with as much advance notice as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances and
        permitted by Applicable Law), suspend performance of such Service and any and all Dependent Services without liability to Service Provider or any Service Provider Party and (ii) in the case of a material and adverse effect to the business of Service Provider or its Affiliates, may, upon Service Provider providing written
        notice of such fact to L Brands sufficiently in advance to permit L Brands (acting reasonably) to arrange for replacement services, suspend performance of such Service without liability; provided that, (A) following delivery of such notice, the parties hereto will cooperate in good
        faith to promptly amend this Agreement to the extent necessary to eliminate such violation of Applicable Law or such effect while as nearly as possible accomplishing the purpose of the intended Service in a mutually satisfactory manner and (B) L Brands shall not be obligated to pay for any such suspended Services during
        the pendency of any Service Provider Party’s suspension of such Services (it being understood that L Brands shall remain liable for any Service Costs incurred or accrued for such Services prior to such suspension).  If the parties hereto are unable
        to agree upon such an amendment to this Agreement within 30 days of such notification, then either party hereto may terminate its obligation with respect to such suspended Services upon written notice to the other party hereto; provided that the applicable Dependent Services shall also automatically terminate upon the effective date of termination of such suspended Services.

    

    

    (d)          L Brands may terminate Service Provider’s obligation to cause to be provided any
        Service at any time if Service Provider shall have failed to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement relating to such Service, but only if L Brands shall have notified Service Provider in writing of such failure and such
        failure shall have continued for a period of 30 days after receipt by Service Provider of such written notice.

    

    

    
      23

      
        

    

    (e)          Subject to Section 7.02, this Agreement shall terminate in its entirety on the date
        when no additional Services are to be provided as set forth in each applicable Service Schedules, as the same may hereafter be amended.

    

    

    Section 7.02.          Effect of Termination.  Other

        than as required by Applicable Law, upon expiration or termination of any or all Service(s) pursuant to Section 7.01 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, Service Provider shall have no further obligation to cause to be provided the terminated
        Service(s) and L Brands shall have no obligation to pay any Service Fees relating to such terminated Service(s); provided that, notwithstanding such termination, the Service Recipients shall remain liable
        to Service Provider for (a) Service Costs incurred prior to the effective date of the expiration or
        termination of such Service(s), (b)
        the Disengagement Costs relating to the termination of such Service(s), and (c) in the case of a termination
        under Section 7.01(a), Section 7.01(b) or Section 7.01(c), without duplication of any Disengagement Costs, any fees, costs and expenses incurred by Service Provider (or any of its Affiliates) between the time of such termination and the time the
        provision of such Service(s) would have terminated under this Agreement absent such early termination (including early termination charges, kill fees, wind-down costs, reasonable minimum volume make-up fees and other fees and costs, in each case
        actually payable or that have been paid in advance by any Service Provider Party to a third party, and unamortized costs that Service Provider or its Affiliates previously incurred or are required to pay to a third party for services, equipment,
        licenses or other assets used for the provisions of such terminated Service) (collectively, “Termination Fees”) to the extent Service Provider or such other Service Provider Party cannot avoid the incurrence
        of any such Termination Fees using commercially reasonable efforts. For clarity, no Disengagement Costs are payable in case of a termination under Section 7.01(d) or upon the expiration of the Term of any Service.  All amounts payable pursuant to
        this Section 7.02 shall be invoiced to and payable by L Brands within 30 days after the date of invoice and otherwise in accordance with Section 3.06.  Notwithstanding any expiration or termination pursuant to Section 7.01, Section 2.10 (but solely
        with respect to the first sentence), Section 3.08 and Articles 4, 5, 6, 7, and 9 shall survive any such expiration or termination indefinitely.

        amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to this Agreement, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective.

    

    

    
      26

      
        

    

    (b)          No failure or delay by any party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege
        hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  Except as set forth in Section 6.06, the rights and
        remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

    

    

    Section 9.03.          Expenses.  Except as
        otherwise provided herein, all third-party fees, costs and expenses paid or incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the party hereto incurring such fees, cost or expenses.

    

    

    Section 9.04.          Independent Contractor Status. 

        Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute or be deemed to constitute a partnership or joint venture between the parties hereto.  Neither party hereto is now, nor shall it be made by this Agreement, an agent, employee or legal representative of the
        other party hereto or any of its Affiliates for any purpose.  Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that neither party hereto shall have authority or power to bind the other party hereto or any of its Affiliates or to contract in the name of,
        or create a liability against, the other party hereto or any of its Affiliates, in any way or for any purpose, to accept any service of process upon the other party hereto or any of its Affiliates or to receive any notices of any kind on behalf of
        the other party hereto or any of its Affiliates.  Each party hereto is and shall be an independent contractor in the performance of Services hereunder and nothing herein shall be construed to be inconsistent with this status.

    

    

    Section 9.05.          Successors and Assigns.  The
        provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any right, remedy, obligations or liability arising hereunder or by reason
        hereof nor any of the documents executed in connection herewith may be assigned by any party hereto without the consent of the other party, which consent may be granted or withheld in the discretion of such other party. Notwithstanding the
        foregoing, either party hereto may assign or transfer this Agreement and all of its rights and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate or to any third party that acquires all or substantially all of such party’s assets or business to which this
        Agreement relates (whether by sale of assets, stock, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise); provided that this Agreement and the Services shall not apply to any other business of such
        third-party acquirer.

    

    

    Section 9.06.          Governing Law.  This
        Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such state.

    

    

    Section 9.07.          Dispute Resolution.  (a) With respect to matters relating to the Services or under this Agreement requiring dispute resolution (each, a “Dispute”), the disputing party shall notify the other party hereto of such Dispute in writing and, upon the non-disputing party’s receipt of such written notice, the parties’ respective Service Managers shall attempt to resolve such
        Dispute in good faith within 30 days of such receipt, and if such Service Managers are unable to resolve such Dispute in such 30-day period, then such Service Managers shall escalate such Dispute to each party’s Chief Financial Officer for
        resolution.

    

    

    
      27

      
        

    

    (b)          If the parties’ Chief Financial Officers are unable to resolve such Dispute within
        30 days following such receipt of such notice, then either party hereto shall initiate a non-binding mediation by providing written notice (“Mediation Notice”) to the other party hereto within five Business
        Days following the expiration of such 30-day period.

    

    

    (c)          Upon receipt of a Mediation Notice, the applicable Dispute shall be submitted within
        five Business Days following such receipt of such Mediation Notice for non-binding mediation conducted in accordance with the Commercial Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“Arbitration
          Association”), and the parties hereto agree to bear equally the costs of such mediation (including any fees or expenses of the applicable mediator); provided, however,
        that each party hereto shall bear its own costs in connection with participating in such mediation. The parties hereto agree to participate in good faith in such mediation for a period of 45 days or such longer period as the parties hereto may
        mutually agree following receipt of such Mediation Notice (the “Mediation Period”).

    

    

    (d)          In connection with such mediation, the parties hereto shall cooperate with the
        Arbitration Association and with one another in selecting a neutral mediator with relevant industry experience and in scheduling the mediation proceedings during the applicable Mediation Period. If the parties hereto are unable to agree on a
        neutral mediator within five Business Days of submitting a Dispute for mediation pursuant to Section 9.07(c), application shall be made by the parties to the Arbitration Association for the Arbitration Association to select and appoint a neutral
        mediator on the parties’ behalf in accordance with the Commercial Mediation Rules of the Arbitration Association.

    

    

    (e)          The parties hereto further agree that all information, whether oral or written,
        provided in the course of any such mediation by either party hereto, their agents, employees, experts and attorneys, and by the applicable mediator and any employees of the mediation service, is confidential, privileged, and inadmissible for any
        purpose, including impeachment, in any Action involving the parties hereto; provided that any such information that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or
        non-discoverable as a result of its use in such mediation.

    

    

    (f)          If the parties hereto cannot resolve the Dispute for any reason, on and following
        the expiration of the Mediation Period, either party may commence litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.08. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall deny either party hereto the right to seek
        injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in the context of a bona fide emergency or prospective irreparable harm, and such an Action may be filed and maintained notwithstanding any ongoing efforts under this
        Section 9.07.

    

    

    
      28

      
        

    

    Section 9.08.          Jurisdiction.  The parties
        hereto agree that any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought in the Chancery Court of the
        State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal or state court sitting in the State of
        Delaware and any federal or state appellate court therefrom), and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or
        proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or
        proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.  Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party hereto anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. 
        Without limiting the foregoing, each party hereto agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 9.01 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.

    

    

    Section 9.09.          WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH
        OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

    

    

    Section 9.10.          Counterparts; Effectiveness;
          Third-Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts (which may include counterparts delivered by any standard form of telecommunication), each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if
        the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement or in any other certificate, agreement or document related to this Agreement shall include
        images of manually executed signatures transmitted by facsimile or other electronic format (including “pdf”, “tif” or “jpg”) and other electronic signatures (including DocuSign and AdobeSign). The use of electronic signatures and electronic records
        (including any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based
        recordkeeping system to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party hereto.  Until and unless each party hereto has
        received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party hereto shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication). 
        Except for the indemnification and release provisions of Article 6, neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations, or liabilities hereunder upon any Person other than the parties
        hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

    

    

    Section 9.11.          Entire Agreement.  This
        Agreement, together with the other Distribution Documents, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and
        written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. No representation, inducement, promise, understanding, condition or warranty not set forth herein or in the other Distribution Documents has been made or relied upon
        by either party hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

    

    

    
      29

      
        

    

    Section 9.12.          Severability.  If any one or
        more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be declared invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained in this Agreement shall not in any way be
        affected or impaired thereby so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto.  Upon such a declaration, the parties hereto shall modify this
        Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner so that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

    

    

    Section 9.13.          Specific Performance.  The
        parties hereto acknowledge and agree that damages for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement would be inadequate and irreparable harm would occur.  In recognition of this fact, each party hereto agrees that, if
        there is a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any damages, the other non-breaching party to this Agreement, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to seek and obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, temporary
        restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction, attachment, or any other equitable remedy which may then be available to obligate the breaching party (i) to perform its obligations under this Agreement or (ii) if the breaching party is
        unable, for whatever reason, to perform those obligations, to take any other actions as are necessary, advisable or appropriate to give the other party to this Agreement the economic effect which comes as close as possible to the performance of
        those obligations (including transferring, or granting liens on, the assets of the breaching party to secure the performance by the breaching party of those obligations).

    

    

    Section 9.14.          Interpretation.  In the event
        an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party hereto by virtue of its
        authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

    

    

    
      30

      
        

    

    Section 9.15.          Integration.  The parties
        hereto agree that each of (a) this Agreement, (b) each of the Service Schedules, (c) the L Brands to VS Transition Services Agreement, dated as of the date hereof between L Brands and Service Provider (the “L Brands to VS TSA”), (d) each of the Service Schedules (as defined in the L Brands to VS TSA), and (e) all addenda, supplemental agreements, amendments and letter agreements executed in connection with the foregoing, ((a) through (e) collectively, the “Integrated Agreements”)
        are integrated and non-severable parts of one and the same transaction among the parties hereto, each representing an essential, necessary and interdependent component of such transaction forming part of the consideration given by the parties
        hereto under and in connection with this Agreement, and the parties hereto agree that all of the Integrated Agreements comprising such transaction constitute one single agreement and are integrated and non-severable for all purposes at law and
        equity, including for purposes of section 365 of title 11 of the United States Code and New York law, and that any breach of any one of such agreements shall be deemed a breach under all such agreements. The Integrated Agreements embody the entire
        understanding of the parties hereto, and there are no further or other agreements or understandings, written or oral, in effect between the parties hereto, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. In addition to, and without limitation of,
        the rights of the parties hereto set forth above or any right available in law or in equity, pursuant to contract or otherwise, in the event of the failure by a party to this Agreement or any Affiliate of such party to make timely payment of
        amounts due and owing (following the expiration of any relevant cure periods thereunder) under any of the Integrated Agreements, the Separation Agreement or any other agreement related to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (together,
        the “Applicable Agreements”), such amounts may at the election of the non-defaulting party be reduced by set-off against any sum or obligation (whether or not matured or contingent and irrespective of the
        currency or place of payment) owed by the non-defaulting party or any Affiliate of the non-defaulting party to the defaulting party or any Affiliate of the defaulting party under any Applicable Agreement.

      3(a)(ii)(B)(x), shall be allocated in accordance with the Closing of the Books Method; provided, however, that if Applicable Tax Law does not permit a VS Group

     (v)         Taxes Covered by Distribution Documents. Subject to the preceding clauses of Section 3(c), any

          shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all (i) Joint Tax Returns, (ii) L Brands Separate Tax Returns and (iii) Pre-2021 VS Separate Tax Returns; provided, that to the extent any such
          Tax Return includes an MFE APA Period, such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the MFE APA. To the extent any Joint Tax Return reflects operations of the VS Group for a Taxable period that includes the Distribution Date, L
          Brands shall include in such Joint Tax Return the results of such member of the VS Group, as the case may be, on the basis of the Closing of the Books Method to the extent permitted by Applicable Tax Law. If a member of the VS Group is
          responsible for the filing of any such Tax Return under Applicable Tax Law, L Brands shall, subject to the procedures set forth in Sections 4(c), 4(d) and 4(e), deliver such prepared Tax Return to VS in advance of the applicable filing deadline.

      

      

      (b)          VS Prepared Tax Returns. VS shall prepare
          and file (or cause to be prepared and filed) any VS Post-2020 Separate Income Tax Return and any VS Post-2020 Separate Non-Income Tax Return.

      

      

      (c)          Determination of Responsible Party. L
          Brands, in consultation with VS, shall determine which Party or their respective Affiliates is required to file any Joint Tax Return or Separate Tax Return under Applicable Tax Law.

      

      

      (d)          Provision of Information; Timing.  VS
          shall maintain all necessary information for L Brands (or any of its Affiliates) to file any Tax Return that L Brands is required or permitted to file under this Section 4, and shall provide to L Brands all such necessary information in
          accordance with the L Brands Group’s past practice.  L Brands shall maintain all necessary information for VS (or any of its Affiliates) to file any Tax Return that VS is required or permitted to file under this Section 4, and shall
          provide VS with all such necessary information in accordance with the L Brands Group’s past practice.

      

      

      (e)          Right to Review. 

    

    

    

  

  
    (i)           The Party responsible for preparing (or causing to be prepared) any Tax Return under this Section 4 shall make
      such Tax Return and related workpapers available for review by the other Party, if requested, to the extent (i) such Tax Return relates to Taxes for which the requesting Party would be liable under Section 3, (ii) such Tax Return relates to such Taxes described in clause (i) and the requesting Party would reasonably be expected to be liable in whole or in part for any additional Taxes owing as a result of
      adjustments to the amount of such Taxes reported on such Tax Return or (iii) such Tax Return relates to Taxes for which the requesting Party would reasonably be expected to have a claim for Tax Benefits under this Agreement. The Party responsible for
      preparing (or causing to be prepared) the relevant Tax Return shall (x) use its reasonable best efforts to make such portion of such Tax Return available for review as required under this paragraph sufficiently in advance of the due date for the
      filing of such Tax Return to provide the requesting Party with a meaningful opportunity to analyze and comment on such Tax Return and (y) use reasonable best efforts to have such Tax Return modified before filing, taking into account the Person
      responsible for payment of the Tax (if any) reported on such Tax Return and whether the amount of Tax liability allocable to the requesting Party with respect to such Tax Return is material. The Parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any
      issues arising out of the review of such Tax Return. 

    

    

    
      10

      
        

    

    (ii)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than a VS Separate Non-Income Tax Return that relates solely to a Post-Distribution Period, VS shall submit a draft of any VS Separate Non-Income Tax
      Return that it is required to prepare and that is required to be filed after the Distribution Date to L Brands. With respect to such VS Separate Non-Income Tax Return, VS (A) shall make such Tax Return available for review as required under this
      paragraph sufficiently in advance of the due date for the filing of such Tax Return to provide L Brands with a meaningful opportunity to analyze and comment on such Tax Return, and (B) shall not file or cause to be filed any such Tax Return without
      the consent of L Brands, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

    

    

    
      (f)           Special
            Rules Relating to the Preparation of Tax Returns.

    

    

     (i)          General Rule.  Except as provided in this Section

          4(f)(i), VS shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) any Tax Return, with respect to Taxable periods (or portions thereof) ending prior to or on the Distribution Date, for which it is responsible under this Section 4 in accordance with past practices, accounting methods, elections or conventions (“Past Practices”) used by the members of the L Brands Group prior to the Distribution Date with respect to such Tax Return to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, and to the
      extent any items, methods or positions are not covered by Past Practices, as directed by L Brands in its sole discretion to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.  

    

    

     (ii)        Consistency with Intended Tax Treatment.  All Tax Returns that include any member of the L Brands
      Group or any member of the VS Group shall be prepared in a manner that is consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment.

    

    

     (iii)       VS Separate Tax Returns.  With respect to any VS Post-2020 Separate Income Tax Return or any VS
      Post-2020 Separate Non-Income Tax Return, VS and the other members of the VS Group shall include such Tax Items in such Tax Return in a manner that is consistent with the inclusion of such Tax Items in any related Tax Return for which L Brands is
      responsible to the extent such Tax Items are allocated in accordance with this Agreement. 

    

    

  

  
    (iv)        Election to File Joint Tax Returns.  L Brands shall be entitled in its sole discretion to file any
      Combined Tax Return if the filing of such Tax Return is elective under Applicable Tax Law. Each member of any such Combined Group shall execute and file such consents, elections and other documents as may be required, appropriate or otherwise
      requested by L Brands in connection with the filing of such Joint Tax Returns. 

    

    

    (v)         Preparation of Transfer Tax Returns.  The Company required under Applicable Tax Law to file any Tax
      Returns in respect of Transfer Taxes shall prepare and file (or cause to be prepared and filed) such Tax Returns.  If required by Applicable Tax Law, L Brands and VS shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate in preparing and
      filing, and join the execution of, any such Tax Returns. 

     

    

    
      11

      
        

    

     

    
      (g)          Payment of Taxes.  L Brands shall pay (or cause to be paid) to the proper Taxing Authority the Tax shown as due on any
        Tax Return for which a member of the L Brands Group is responsible for filing under this Section 4, and VS shall pay (or cause to be paid) to the proper Taxing Authority the
        Tax shown as due on any Tax Return for which a member of the VS Group is responsible for filing under this Section 4. If any member of the L Brands Group is required to make a
        payment to a Taxing Authority for Taxes allocated to VS under Section 3, VS shall pay the amount of such Taxes to L Brands in accordance with Section 11 and Section 12. If any member of the VS Group is required to make a payment to a Taxing Authority for Taxes allocated to L
        Brands under Section 3, L Brands shall pay the amount of such Taxes to VS in accordance with Section 11
        and Section 12.

    

     

    

    Section 5.          Apportionment of Earnings and Profits and Tax Attributes.

    

    

    (a)          Any Tax Attributes arising in a Pre-Distribution Period will be allocated to (and the benefits and burdens of such Tax Attributes will inure to) the members of the L Brands Group and the members of the VS
      Group in accordance with L Brands’ historical practice (including historical methodologies for making corporate allocations), the Code, Treasury Regulations, and any applicable state, local and foreign law, as determined by L Brands in its sole
      discretion.

    

    

    
      (b)          L Brands shall in good faith, based on information reasonably available to it, advise VS in writing, as soon as reasonably practicable after the close of the relevant Taxable period in which the
        Distribution occurs, of L Brands’ estimate of the portion, if any, of any earnings and profits, previously taxed earnings and profits (within the meaning of Section 959 of the Code (“PTI”), Tax Attributes, Tax basis, overall foreign loss or other consolidated, combined or unitary attribute which L Brands determines is expected to be allocated or apportioned to the members of the VS Group under
        Applicable Tax Law.  In the event of any adjustment to the previously delivered estimates of the portion of earnings and profits, Tax Attributes, Tax basis, overall foreign loss or other consolidated, combined or unitary attribute determined by L
        Brands, L Brands shall promptly advise VS in writing of such adjustment.  For the avoidance of doubt, L Brands shall not be liable to any member of the VS Group for any failure of any determination under this Section 5(b) to be accurate under Applicable Tax Law, provided such determination was made in good faith.  All members of the VS Group shall prepare all Tax Returns in accordance with the written notices
        provided by L Brands to VS pursuant to this Section 5(b).

      

      

      (c)          Except as otherwise provided herein, to the extent that the amount of any earnings and profits, PTI, Tax Attributes, Tax basis, overall foreign loss or other consolidated, combined or unitary attribute
        allocated to members of the L Brands Group or the VS Group pursuant to Section 5(b) is later reduced or increased by a Taxing Authority or as a result of a Tax Proceeding,
        such reduction or increase shall be allocated to the Company to which such earnings and profits, Tax Attributes, Tax basis, overall foreign loss or other consolidated, combined or unitary attribute was allocated pursuant to this Section 5, as determined by L Brands in good faith.

    

    

    
      12

      
        

    

    Section 6.          Utilization of Tax Attributes.

    

    

    
      (a)          Amended Returns.  Any amended Tax Return or claim for a refund with respect to any member of the VS Group may be made
        only by the Party responsible for preparing the original Tax Return with respect to such member of the VS Group pursuant to Section 4.

      

      

      (b)          No Carryback Election. The Parties hereby agree, except with respect to any L Brands Specified Tax Attribute (as to
        which L Brands shall have sole discretion), (i) not to make or cause to be made any election to claim (A) in any Pre-Distribution Period or (B) in any Joint Tax Return a VS Carried Item from a Post-Distribution Period and (ii) to elect, to the
        extent permitted by Applicable Tax Law, to forgo the right to carry back any VS Carried Item from a Post-Distribution Period to (A) a Pre-Distribution Period or (B) a Joint Tax Return.  

      

      

      
        (c)          VS Carrybacks.

      

      

      

      (i)        If a member of the VS Group reasonably determines that it is required by Applicable Tax Law to carry back any VS Carried Item from a Post-Distribution Period to (i) a Pre-Distribution
        Period or (ii) a Joint Tax Return, it shall notify L Brands in writing of such determination at least ninety (90) days prior to filing the Tax Return on which such carryback will be reflected. Such notification shall include a description in
        reasonable detail of the basis for any expected Tax Benefit and the amount thereof. If L Brands disagrees with such determination, the Parties shall resolve their disagreement pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 25.

      

      

      (ii)       If a VS Carried Item from a Post-Distribution Period (other than an L Brands Specified Tax Attribute) is carried back to (i) a Pre-Distribution Period or (ii) a Joint Tax Return pursuant
        to Section 6(c)(i), L Brands shall be required to make a payment to the VS Group in an amount equal to the Tax Benefit in respect of such VS Carried Item in accordance with Section 8(c).

      

      

      (d)          Carryforwards to Separate Tax Returns.  If a portion or all of any Tax Attribute is allocated to a member of a Combined
        Group pursuant to Section 5 and carried forward to a VS Post-2020 Separate Income Tax Return, any Tax Benefits arising from such carryforward shall be retained by the VS
        Group.  If a portion or all of any Tax Attribute is allocated to a member of a Combined Group pursuant to Section 5, and is carried forward to a L Brands Separate Tax Return,
        any Tax Benefits arising from such carryforward shall be retained by the L Brands Group.

      

      

    

    Section 7.          Deductions and Reporting for Certain Awards.

    

    

    
      (a)          Deductions.  To the extent permitted by Applicable Tax Law, income Tax deductions with respect to the issuance,
        exercise, vesting or settlement after the Distribution Date of any L Brands Compensatory Equity Interests or VS Compensatory Equity Interests shall be claimed (i) in the case of an active officer or employee, solely by the Group that employs such
        Person at the time of such issuance, exercise, vesting, or settlement, as applicable; (ii) in the case of a former officer or employee, solely by the Group that was the last to employ such Person; and (iii) in the case of a director or former
        director (who is not an officer or employee or former officer or employee of a member of either Group), (x) solely by the L Brands Group if such person was, at any time before or after the Distribution, a director of any member of the L Brands
        Group, and (y) in any other case, solely by the VS Group.

       

      

    

    
      13

      
        

    

    
      (b)          If, notwithstanding clause (a), it is reasonably likely that the VS Group will, under Applicable Tax Law, utilize a deduction for a Taxable period ending after the Distribution Date with respect to any
        liability with respect to compensation required to be paid or satisfied by, or otherwise allocated to, any member of the L Brands Group in accordance with any Distribution Document (the “Reimbursable Payment”), L Brands shall reduce the amount payable to the relevant member of the VS Group with respect to the Reimbursable Payment by 25% (the “Reimbursement Adjustment”).  

      

      

      (c)          Withholding and Reporting.  All applicable withholding and reporting responsibilities (including all income, payroll or
        other Tax reporting related to income to any current or former employee) with respect to the issuance, exercise, vesting or settlement of any L Brands Compensatory Equity Interests or VS Compensatory Equity Interests shall be the responsibility of
        the Party to which such responsibility has been prescribed by Section 8.04 of the Employee Matters Agreement. L Brands and VS acknowledge and agree that the Parties shall cooperate with each other and with third-party providers to effectuate
        withholding and remittance of Taxes, as well as required Tax reporting, in a timely manner.

    

     

    

    Section 8.          Tax Benefits.

    

    

    
      (a)          L Brands Tax Benefits. L Brands shall be entitled to any Tax Benefits (including, in the case of any refund received,
        any interest actually received on or in respect thereof) received by any member of the L Brands Group or any member of the VS Group, other than any Tax Benefits (or any amounts in respect of Tax Benefits) to which VS is entitled pursuant to Section 8(b) (or, with respect to any VS Carried Item, Section 6).  VS shall not be entitled to any Tax
        Benefits received by any member of the L Brands Group or the VS Group, except as set forth in Section 8(b).

      

      

      (b)          VS Tax Benefits.  VS shall be entitled to any Tax Benefits (including, in the case of any refund received, any interest
        actually received on or in respect thereof) received by any member of the L Brands Group or any member of the VS Group after the Distribution Date (i) with respect to any Tax allocated to a member of the VS Group under this Agreement (including,
        for the avoidance of doubt, any amounts allocated to VS pursuant to Section 3(c)(iii)) or (ii) resulting from a VS Specified Tax Attribute, in each case, other than (x) any
        Tax Benefits resulting from a VS Carried Item, which shall be governed by Section 6 and (y) any Tax Benefit resulting from an L Brands Specified Tax Attribute.

      

      

      (c)          A Company receiving (or realizing) a Tax Benefit to which another Company is entitled hereunder (a “Tax Benefit Recipient”)

        shall pay over the amount of such Tax Benefit (including interest received from the relevant Taxing Authority, but net of any Taxes imposed with respect to such Tax Benefit and any other reasonable costs associated therewith) within thirty (30)
        days of receipt thereof (or from the due date for payment of any Tax reduced thereby); provided, however, that the other Company, upon the request of such Tax
        Benefit Recipient, shall repay the amount paid to the other Company (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Taxing Authority) in the event that, as a result of a subsequent Final Determination, a Tax Benefit that gave
        rise to such payment is subsequently disallowed.

      (i)           VS and each other member of the VS Group represents that as of the date hereof, and covenants that as of the Distribution Date, there is no

      Representation Letters or the Tax Opinion;

    

    

    (D)          to repurchase stock of VS other than in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Section 4.05(1)(b) of IRS Revenue Procedure 96-30 (as in effect prior to the amendment of such Revenue
      Procedure by IRS Revenue Procedure 2003-48) and consistent with any representations made to the Tax Adviser in connection with the Tax Representation Letters;

    

    

    (E)           to take or fail to take any action in a manner that management of VS knows, or should know, is reasonably likely to contravene any agreement with a Taxing Authority entered into prior to
      the Distribution Date to which any member of the VS Group or the L Brands Group is a party; or

    

    

    (F)           to enter into any negotiations, agreements, or arrangements with respect to transactions or events (including stock issuances, pursuant to the exercise of options or otherwise, option
      grants, the adoption of, or authorization of shares under, a stock option plan, capital contributions, or acquisitions, but not including the Distribution) that could reasonably be expected to cause the Distribution to be treated as part of a plan
      (within the meaning of Section 355(e) of the Code) pursuant to which one or more Persons acquire directly or indirectly VS stock representing a 50% or greater interest within the meaning of Section 355(d)(4) of the Code.

    

    

    
      (b)          Covenants.

      15

      
        

    

    
      (iii)       VS shall not, and shall not permit any other member of the VS Group to, take or fail to take any action in a manner that management of VS
        knows, or should know, is reasonably likely to contravene any agreement with a Taxing Authority entered into prior to the Distribution Date to which any member of the VS Group or the L Brands Group is a party.

    

    

    

    (iv)        During the two-year period following the Distribution Date:

      transaction or permit any other member of the VS Group to engage in any transaction that would result in a member of the VS Group described in clause (x) hereof ceasing to be a company engaged in the relevant Active Trade or Business for purposes of
      Section 355(b)(2) of the Code or such other Applicable Tax Law, taking into account Section 355(b)(3) of the Code for purposes of each of clauses (v) through (y) hereof and (z) not dispose of or permit a member of the VS Group to dispose of, directly
      or indirectly, any interest in a member of the VS Group described in clause (x) hereof or permit any such member of the VS Group to make or revoke any election under Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3;

    

    

    (B)          VS shall not repurchase stock of VS in a manner contrary to the requirements of Section 4.05(1)(b) of IRS Revenue Procedure 96-30 (as in effect prior to the amendment of such Revenue
      Procedure by IRS Revenue Procedure 2003-48) or inconsistent with any representations made by VS to the Tax Adviser in connection with the Tax Representation Letters;

    

    

    (C)          VS shall not, and shall not agree to, merge, consolidate or amalgamate with any other Person;

      such issuances satisfy Safe Harbor VIII (relating to acquisitions in connection with a person’s performance of services) or Safe Harbor IX (relating to acquisitions by a retirement plan of an employer) of Treasury Regulations Section 1.355-7(d);

    

    

    
      16

      
        

    

    (E)          VS shall not, and shall not permit any other member of the VS Group to (I) solicit any Person to make a tender offer for, or otherwise acquire or sell, the Equity Interests of VS or any
      member of the VS Group, (II) participate in or support any unsolicited tender offer for, or other acquisition, issuance or disposition of, the Equity Interests of VS or any member of the VS Group or (III) approve or otherwise permit any proposed
      business combination or any transaction which, in the case of clauses (I) or (II), individually or in the aggregate, together with any transaction occurring within the four-year period beginning on the date which is two years before the Distribution
      Date and any other transaction which is part of a plan or series of related transactions (within the meaning of Section 355(e) of the Code) that includes the Distribution, could result in one or more Persons acquiring (except for acquisitions that
      otherwise satisfy Safe Harbor VIII (relating to acquisitions in connection with a person’s performance of services) or Safe Harbor IX (relating to acquisitions by a retirement plan of an employer) of Treasury Regulation Section 1.355-7(d)) directly
      or indirectly stock representing a 25% or greater interest, by vote or value, in VS, IBUS or IBIH (or any successor thereto) (any such transaction, a “Proposed Acquisition
        Transaction”); provided further that any clarification of, or change in, the statute or regulations promulgated under Section 355(e) of the Code shall be
      incorporated in the restrictions in this clause (iv) and the interpretation thereof;

    

    

    (F)          if any member of the VS Group proposes to enter into any transaction or series of transactions that is not a Proposed Acquisition Transaction but would be a Proposed Acquisition
      Transaction if the percentage reflected in the definition of Proposed Acquisition Transaction were 15% instead of 25% (a “Section 9(b)(iv)(F) Acquisition Transaction”)

      or, to the extent VS has the right to prohibit any Section 9(b)(iv)(F) Acquisition Transaction, proposes to permit any Section 9(b)(iv)(F) Acquisition Transaction to occur, in each case, VS shall provide L Brands, no later than 10 Business Days
      following the signing of any written agreement with respect to the Section 9(b)(iv)(F) Acquisition Transaction, a written description of such transaction (including the type and amount of Equity Interests to be issued or sold in such transaction) and
      a certificate of the board of directors of VS to the effect that the Section 9(b)(iv)(F) Acquisition Transaction is not a Proposed Acquisition Transaction; and

    

    

    (G)          VS shall not, and shall not permit any other member of the VS Group to, amend its certificate of incorporation (or other organizational documents), or take any other action, whether
      through a stockholder vote or otherwise, affecting the voting rights of the Equity Interests of VS (including, without limitation, through the conversion of one class of Equity Interests of VS into another class of Equity Interests of VS).

    

    

    (H)          VS shall not transfer, to any member of the VS Group that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, any asset that was transferred to VS in the Contribution.

    

    

    
      17

      
        

    

    (v)          VS shall not take or fail to take, or permit any other member of the VS Group to take or fail to take, any action which prevents or could reasonably be expected to result in Tax treatment
      that is inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment.

    

    

    
      (c)          VS Covenants Exceptions.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section

            9(b), VS and the other members of the VS Group may take any action that would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the covenants contained in Section 9(b), if either: (i) VS notifies L Brands of its proposal to take such
        action and VS and L Brands obtain a ruling from the IRS to the effect that such action will not affect the Intended Tax Treatment, provided that VS agrees in
        writing to bear any expenses associated with obtaining such a ruling and, provided further that the VS Group shall not be relieved of any liability under Section 11(a) of this Agreement by reason of seeking or having obtained such a ruling; or (ii) VS notifies L Brands of its proposal to take such action and obtains an unqualified
        opinion of counsel (A) from a Tax advisor recognized as an expert in federal income Tax matters and acceptable to L Brands in its sole discretion, (B) on which L Brands may rely and (C) to the effect that such action “will” not affect the Intended
        Tax Treatment, provided that the VS Group shall not be relieved of any liability under Section
            11(a) of this Agreement by reason of having obtained such an opinion.

    

    

    

    Section 10.        Tax Receivables Arrangements.  

    

    

    
      (a)          Section 336(e) Election.  Pursuant to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.336-2(h)(1)(i) and 1.336-2(j), L Brands and VS agree that L Brands may make a timely protective election under Section 336(e)
        of the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder and under any comparable provisions of state, local or foreign law for each member of the VS Group that is a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income Tax purposes with respect to the
        Distribution (a “Section 336(e) Election”).  It is intended that a Section 336(e) Election will have no effect unless the Distribution is a “qualified stock
        disposition,” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.336(e)-1(b)(6), by reason of the application of Treasury Regulations Section 1.336-1(b)(5)(i)(B) or Treasury Regulations Section 1.336-1(b)(5)(ii), or under any comparable provisions of
        state, local or foreign law in any other jurisdiction.

      

      

      (b)          L Brands TRA.  If any Specified Event results in the imposition of a liability for Taxes (including any Taxes attributable to the Section 336(e) Election) that are not allocated to VS pursuant to Section 3,
            (i) L Brands shall be entitled to periodic payments from VS equal to the product of (x) 85% of the Tax savings attributable to Tax Attributes arising from such Specified Event and (y) the percentage of Taxes arising from such Specified Event
            that are not allocated to VS pursuant to Section 3, and (ii) the Parties shall negotiate in good faith the terms of a tax receivable agreement to govern the
            calculation of such payments; provided that any such tax savings in clause (i) shall be determined using a “with and without” methodology (treating any Tax Attribute arising from any Specified Event as
            the last items claimed for any Taxable year, including after the utilization of any carryforwards).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, L Brands may, at its sole discretion, waive its right to receive any and all payments pursuant to this Section

              10(b).

       

          

    

    
      18

      
        

    

    Section 11.          Indemnities.

    

    

    
      (a)          VS Indemnity to L Brands.  Except in the case of any liabilities described in Section 11(b), VS and each other member of the VS Group shall jointly and severally
        indemnify L Brands and the other members of the L Brands Group against, and hold them harmless, without duplication, from:

    

    

    

    (i)          any Tax liability allocated to VS pursuant to Section 3;

    

    

    (ii)          any Tax liability and Tax-Related Losses attributable to a breach, after the Distribution Time, by VS or any other member of the VS Group of any representation, covenant or provision
      contained in this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Taxes and Tax-Related Losses resulting from any breach for which the conditions set forth in Section 9(c)
      are satisfied);

    

    

    
      (iii)       any Distribution Taxes and Tax-Related Losses attributable to a VS Disqualifying Action (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Taxes and
        Tax-Related Losses resulting from any action for which the conditions set forth in Section 9(c) are satisfied); and

      

      

      (iv)        all liabilities, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable expenses of investigation and attorneys’ fees and expenses),
        losses, damages, assessments, settlements or judgments arising out of or incident to the imposition, assessment or assertion of any Tax liability or damage described in (i), (ii) or (iii), including those incurred in the contest in good faith in
        appropriate proceedings relating to the imposition, assessment or assertion of any such Tax, liability or damage.

    

    

    

    

    
      (b)          L Brands Indemnity to VS.  Except in the case of any liabilities described in Section 11(a), L Brands and each other member of the L Brands Group will jointly and severally indemnify VS and the other members of the VS Group against, and hold them harmless, without duplication, from:

    

    

    

    (i)          any Tax liability allocated to L Brands pursuant to Section 3; 

    

    

    (ii)         any Taxes imposed on any member of the VS Group under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6 (or similar or analogous provision of state, local or foreign law) solely as a result of any
      such member being or having been a member of a Combined Group; and

    

    

    (iii)       all liabilities, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable expenses of investigation and attorneys’ fees and expenses), losses, damages, assessments, settlements or
      judgments arising out of or incident to the imposition, assessment or assertion of any Tax liability or damage described in (i) or (ii), including those incurred in the contest in good faith in appropriate proceedings relating to the imposition,
      assessment or assertion of any such Tax, liability or damage.

     

    

    
      19

      
        

    

    
      (c)          Discharge of Indemnity.  VS, L Brands and the members of their respective Groups shall discharge their obligations under Section 11(a)
        or Section 11(b) hereof, respectively, by paying the relevant amount in accordance with Section 12,
        within thirty (30) Business Days of demand therefor or, to the extent such amount is required to be paid to a Taxing Authority prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) Business Days, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date by which the
        demanding party is required to pay the related Tax liability.  Any such demand shall include a statement showing the amount due under Section 11(a) or Section 11(b), as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any member of the VS Group or any member of the L Brands Group disputes in good faith the fact or the amount of
        its obligation under Section 11(a) or Section 11(b), then no payment of the amount in dispute shall be
        required until any such good faith dispute is resolved in accordance with Section 25 hereof; provided, however, that any amount not paid within thirty (30) Business Days of demand therefor shall bear interest as provided in Section 12.

      

      

      (d)          Corresponding Tax Benefits.  If an indemnification obligation of any member of the L Brands Group or any member of the
        VS Group, as the case may be, under this Section 11 arises in respect of an adjustment that makes allowable to an Indemnitee any reduction in Taxes payable by the Indemnitee
        or other Tax benefit which would not, but for such adjustment, be allowable, then any such indemnification obligation shall be an amount equal to (i) the amount otherwise due but for this Section

            11(d), minus (ii) the reduction in actual cash Taxes payable by the Indemnitee in the Taxable year in which such indemnification obligation arises, determined on a “with and without” basis.

       

      

    

    Section 12.          Payments.

    

    

    
      (a)          Timing.  All payments to be made under this Agreement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any payments to a Taxing
        Authority described herein) shall be made in immediately available funds.  Except as otherwise provided, all such payments will be due thirty (30) Business Days after the receipt of notice of such payment or, where no notice is required, thirty
        (30) Business Days after the fixing of liability or the resolution of a dispute (the “Due Date”).  Payments shall be deemed made when received.  Any payment that is
        not made on or before the Due Date shall bear interest at the rate equal to the “prime” rate as published on such Due Date in the Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, for the period from and including the date immediately following the Due Date
        through and including the date of payment.  With respect to any payment required to be made under this Agreement, L Brands has the right to designate, by written notice to VS, which member of the L Brands Group will make or receive such payment.

      

      

      (b)          Treatment of Payments.  To the extent permitted by Applicable Tax Law, any payment made by L Brands or any member of the L Brands Group to VS or any member of the VS Group, or by VS or any member of the VS
            Group to L Brands or any member of the L Brands Group, pursuant to this Agreement, the Separation Agreement or any other Distribution Document that relates to Taxable periods (or portions thereof) ending on or before the Distribution Date shall
            be treated by the parties hereto for all Tax purposes as a distribution by VS to L Brands, or a capital contribution from L Brands to VS, as the case may be; provided, however, that any payment made
            pursuant to Sections 2.05 and 2.06 of the Separation Agreement shall instead be treated as if the party required to make a payment of received amounts had received such amounts as agent for the other party; provided

              further that any payment made pursuant to Section 3.01 of the L Brands to VS Transition Services Agreement or the VS to L Brands Transition Services Agreement, as
            the case may be, shall instead be treated as a payment for services; provided further that any reimbursement pursuant to Section 7.01 or 7.03 of the Employee Matters Agreement or Items 4-7 of Schedule
            4.15 of the Separation Agreement, in each case, to the extent that the applicable underlying payment is properly deductible by a member of the L Brands Group, shall be treated as a reimbursement of amounts paid by VS as paying agent of L
            Brands; and provided further that any amount paid by VS under Schedule 4.15 of the Separation Agreement in respect of any deduction relating to an L Brands Compensatory Equity Interest shall be treated
            as a payment in exchange for the Equity Interest in L Brands underlying such L Brands Compensatory Equity Interest.  In the event that a Taxing Authority asserts that a party’s treatment of a payment described in this Section 12(b)
            should be other than as required herein, such party shall use its reasonable best efforts to contest such assertion in a manner consistent with Section 15 of this Agreement.

       

          

      
        20

        
          

      

      
      
        (c)          No Duplicative Payment.  It is intended that the provisions of this Agreement shall not result in a duplicative
          payment of any amount required to be paid under the Separation Agreement or any other Distribution Document, and this Agreement shall be construed accordingly.

         

          

      

    

    Section 13.          Guarantees.  L Brands and VS, as the case may be, each hereby guarantees and agrees to otherwise perform the
      obligations of each other member of the L Brands Group or the VS Group, respectively, under this Agreement.

    

    

    Section 14.          Communication and Cooperation.

    

    

    
      (a)          Consult and Cooperate.  L Brands and VS shall consult and cooperate (and shall cause each other member of their respective Groups to consult and cooperate) fully
        at such time and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party in connection with all matters subject to this Agreement.  Such cooperation shall include, without limitation:

       

      

    

    
      (i)          the retention, and provision on reasonable request, of any and all information including all books, records, documentation or other
        information pertaining to Tax matters relating to the VS Group (or, in the case of any Tax Return of the L Brands Group, the portion of such return that relates to Taxes for which the VS Group may be liable pursuant to this Agreement), any
        necessary explanations of information, and access to personnel, until one year after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitation (giving effect to any extension, waiver or mitigation thereof);

      

      

      (ii)         the execution of any document that may be necessary (including to give effect to Section 15) or helpful in connection with any
        required Tax Return or in connection with any audit, proceeding, suit or action; and

    

    

    

    
      21

      
        

    

    (iii)        the use of the parties’ commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any documentation from a Governmental Authority or a third party that may be necessary or helpful in connection with the
      foregoing.

    

      (b)          Provide Information.  Except as set forth in Section 15, L Brands and VS shall keep each other reasonably informed with respect to any material development
        relating to the matters subject to this Agreement.

      

      

      (c)          Tax Attribute Matters.  L Brands and VS shall promptly advise each other with respect to any proposed Tax adjustments
        that are the subject of an audit or investigation, or are the subject of any proceeding or litigation, and that may affect any Tax liability or any Tax Attribute (including, but not limited to, basis in an asset or the amount of earnings and
        profits) of any member of the VS Group or any member of the L Brands Group, respectively.

      

      

      (d)          Confidentiality and Privileged Information.  Any information or documents provided under this Agreement shall be kept
        confidential by the party receiving the information or documents, except as may otherwise be necessary in connection with the filing of required Tax Returns or in connection with any audit, proceeding, suit or action.  Without limiting the
        foregoing (and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other agreement), (i) no member of the L Brands Group or VS Group, respectively, shall be required to provide any member of the VS Group or L Brands Group, respectively, or
        any other Person access to or copies of any information or procedures other than information or procedures that relate solely to VS, the business or assets of any member of the VS Group, or matters for which VS or L Brands Group, respectively, has
        an obligation to indemnify under this Agreement, and (ii) in no event shall any member of the L Brands Group or the VS Group, respectively, be required to provide any member of the VS Group or L Brands Group, respectively, or any other Person
        access to or copies of any information if such action could reasonably be expected to result in the waiver of any privilege.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that L Brands or VS, respectively, determines that the provision of any
        information to any member of the VS Group or L Brands Group, respectively, could be commercially detrimental or violate any law or agreement to which L Brands or VS, respectively, is bound, L Brands or VS, respectively, shall not be required to
        comply with the foregoing terms of this Section 14(d) except to the extent that it is able, using commercially reasonable efforts, to do so while avoiding such harm or
        consequence (and shall promptly provide notice to L Brands or VS, to the extent such access to or copies of any information is provided to a Person other than a member of the L Brands Group or VS Group (as applicable)).

    

    

    

    Section 15.          Audits and Contest.

    

    

    
      (a)          Notice.  Each of L Brands or VS shall promptly notify the other in writing upon the receipt of any notice of Tax
        Proceeding from the relevant Taxing Authority or upon becoming aware of an actual or potential Tax Proceeding by a Taxing Authority that may affect the liability of any member of the VS Group or the L Brands Group, respectively, for Taxes under
        Applicable Law or this Agreement; provided, that a Party’s right to indemnification under this Agreement shall not be limited in any way by a failure to so notify,
        except to the extent that the indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure.

    

    

    
      22

      
        

    

    
      (b)          L Brands Control.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary but subject to Sections 15(d) and 15(e), L Brands shall have the right to control all matters relating to any Joint Tax Return, any L Brands Separate Tax Return, any Pre-2021 VS Separate Tax Return, any VS Post-2020
        Separate Non-Income Tax Return (to the extent related to Taxes attributable to a Pre-Distribution Period) and any Tax Return, or any Tax Proceeding, with respect to any Tax matters of a Combined Group or any member of a Combined Group (as such).  L
        Brands shall have absolute discretion with respect to any decisions to be made, or the nature of any action to be taken, with respect to any Tax matter described in the preceding sentence; provided, however, that to the extent that any Tax Proceeding relating to such a Tax matter is reasonably likely to give rise to an indemnity obligation of VS under Section 11 hereof, (i) L Brands shall keep VS informed of all material developments and events relating to any such Tax Proceeding described in this proviso and (ii) at its own cost and expense, VS shall have
        the right to participate in (but not to control) the defense of any such Tax Proceeding.

      

      

      (c)          VS Assumption of Control; Non-Distribution Taxes.  If L Brands determines that the resolution of any matter pursuant to
        a Tax Proceeding (other than a Tax Proceeding relating to Distribution Taxes) is reasonably likely to have an adverse effect on the VS Group with respect to any Post-Distribution Period, L Brands, in its sole discretion, may permit VS to elect to
        assume control over disposition of such matter at VS’s sole cost and expense; provided, however, that if VS so elects, it will (i) be responsible for the payment
        of any liability arising from the disposition of such matter notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary and (ii) indemnify the L Brands Group for any increase in a liability and any reduction of a Tax asset of the L
        Brands Group arising from such matter.

      

      

      (d)          VS Participation; Distribution Taxes.  L Brands shall have the right to control any Tax Proceeding relating to
        Distribution Taxes, provided that L Brands shall keep VS fully informed of all material developments and shall permit VS a reasonable opportunity to participate
        in the defense of the matter.  

      

      

      (e)          Specified Administrative Proceeding.  Notwithstanding the foregoing subsections of this Section 15, VS shall (A) control
        the Specified Administrative Matter at its own cost and expense, (B) keep L Brands informed of all material developments and events relating to the Specified Administrative Matter and (C) permit L Brands a reasonable opportunity to participate in
        (but not to control) the Specified Administrative Matter.  Subject to the foregoing, L Brands shall cooperate reasonably with VS in connection with the Specified Administrative Matter, including by (i) transferring to VS, upon reasonable request by
        VS, any and all information, including all books, records, documentation, information regarding vendor mark-ups or other information, pertaining to the Specified Tax Matter, (ii) executing and delivering such documents, agreements or other
        instruments as are reasonably required to perfect the entry into an MFE APA and (iii) consenting to VS’s engagement of any legal, accounting or economic advisor in connection with such Specified Tax Matter.

      recipient thereof if received prior to 5:00 p.m. in the place of receipt and such day is a Business Day in the place of receipt.  Otherwise, any such notice, request or communication shall be deemed not to have been received until the next succeeding
      Business Day in the place of receipt.

    

    

    Section 17.          Costs and Expenses.  The Party that prepares any Tax Return shall bear the costs and expenses incurred in the
      preparation of such Tax Return.  Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or the Separation Agreement, (i) each Party shall bear the costs and expenses incurred pursuant to this Agreement to the extent the costs and expenses are directly
      allocable to a liability or obligation allocated to such Party and (ii) to the extent a cost or expense is not directly allocable to a liability or obligation, it shall be borne by the Party incurring such cost or expense.  For purposes of this
      Agreement, costs and expenses shall include, but not be limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, accountants’ fees and other related professional fees and disbursements.  

    

    

    Section 18.          Effectiveness; Termination and Survival.  Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, as between L Brands
      and VS, this Agreement shall become effective upon the consummation of the Distribution.  All rights and obligations arising hereunder shall survive until they are fully effectuated or performed; provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall remain in effect and its provisions shall survive for one year after the full period of all applicable
      statutes of limitation (giving effect to any extension, waiver or mitigation thereof) and, with respect to any claim hereunder initiated prior to the end of such period, until such claim has been satisfied or otherwise resolved.  This agreement shall
      terminate without any further action at any time before the Distribution upon termination of the Separation Agreement.

    

    

    
      24

      
        

    

    Section 19.          Specific Performance.  Each Party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that damages for a breach or
      threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement would be inadequate and irreparable harm would occur.  In recognition of this fact, each Party agrees that, if there is a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any damages, the other
      nonbreaching Party to this Agreement, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to seek and obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction, attachment, or any other
      equitable remedy which may then be available to obligate the breaching Party (i) to perform its obligations under this Agreement or (ii) if the breaching Party is unable, for whatever reason, to perform those obligations, to take any other actions as
      are necessary, advisable or appropriate to give the other Party to this Agreement the economic effect which comes as close as possible to the performance of those obligations (including transferring, or granting liens on, the assets of the breaching
      party to secure the performance by the breaching party of those obligations).

    

    

    Section 20.        Construction. In this Agreement, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:

    

    

    
      (a)          words used in the singular include the plural and words used in the plural include the singular;

      (c)          except as otherwise clearly indicated, reference to any gender includes the other gender;

        26

        
          

      

      (b)          Amendments and Waivers.

      

      

    

    (i)          Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each of L Brands and VS, or
      in the case of a waiver, by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective.

    

    

    (ii)         No failure or delay by any Party (or the applicable member of such Party’s Group) in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any
      single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies
      provided by Applicable Law.

    

    

    Section 22.        Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
      Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such state.

    

    

    Section 23.         Jurisdiction.  The Parties agree that any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based
      on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or if the
      Chancery Court of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal or state court sitting in the State of Delaware and any federal or state appellate court therefrom), and each of the Parties hereto hereby
      irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any
      such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any Party anywhere in
      the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party agrees that service of process on such Party as provided in Section 16 shall be deemed effective service of process on such Party.

      ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

    

    

    Section 25.        Dispute Resolution.  In the event of any dispute relating to this Agreement, the Parties shall work together in
      good faith to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days.  In the event that such dispute is not resolved, upon written notice by a Party after such thirty (30)-day period, the matter shall be referred to a U.S. Tax counsel or other Tax advisor of
      recognized national standing (the “Tax Arbiter”) that will be jointly chosen by L Brands and VS; provided, however, that, if L Brands and VS do not agree on the selection of the Tax Arbiter after five (5) days of good faith negotiation, the Tax Arbiter shall consist of a panel of three U.S. Tax counsel or other Tax advisor of
      recognized national standing with one member chosen by L Brands, one member chosen by VS, and a third member chosen by mutual agreement of the other members within the following ten (10)-day period.  Each decision of a panel Tax Arbiter shall be made
      by majority vote of the members.  The Tax Arbiter may, in its discretion, obtain the services of any third party necessary to assist it in resolving the dispute.  The Tax Arbiter shall furnish written notice to the Parties to the dispute of its
      resolution of the dispute as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than ninety (90) days after acceptance of the matter for resolution.  Any such resolution by the Tax Arbiter shall be binding on the Parties, and the Parties shall take, or
      cause to be taken, any action necessary to implement such resolution.  All fees and expenses of the Tax Arbiter shall be shared equally by the Parties to the dispute.  

    

    

    Section 26.        Counterparts; Effectiveness; Third-Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement may be signed in any number of
      counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.  This Agreement shall become effective when each Party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof
      signed by the other Party hereto.  Until and unless each Party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other Party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no Party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any
      other oral or written agreement or other communication).  Except for Section 14(d) and the indemnification and release provisions of Section 11, neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations, or liabilities hereunder upon any Person other than the Parties hereto and their
      respective successors and permitted assigns.

    

    

    Section 27.        Successors and Assigns.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
      Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided that neither Party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
      obligations under this Agreement without the consent of the other Party hereto.  If any Party or any of its successors or permitted assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving
      corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of such
      Party shall assume all of the obligations of such Party under the Distribution Documents.

      execute, deliver and perform this Agreement, on its behalf and on behalf of each member of its Group, that this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of such Party and each member of its Group, that this
      Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each such Party and each member of its Group, and that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Party and each member of its Group does not contravene or conflict
      with any provision or law or of its charter or bylaws or any agreement, instrument or order binding on such Party or member of its Group.

    

    

    Section 29.        Change in Tax Law.  Any reference to a provision of the Code, Treasury Regulations or any other Applicable Tax Law
      shall include a reference to any applicable successor provision of the Code, Treasury Regulations or other Applicable Tax Law.

    

    

    Section 30.        Performance.  Each party shall cause to be performed all actions, agreements and obligations set forth herein to be
      performed by any member of such party’s Group.
