The Borrower irrevocably agrees not to plead or assert (and to cause each other TBG Entity and TBG Holdings to not plead or assert), whether by way of defence or otherwise, in any proceeding relating to this Secured Note or any other Note Document, that the interest payable under this Secured Note or any other Note Document and the calculation thereof has not been adequately disclosed to the Borrower, each of the other TBG Entities, and TBG Holdings as required pursuant to section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada) or any other applicable law.
3.    Special Payment Provisions.
(a)    Optional Prepayment.  The Borrower may prepay the outstanding amount hereof in whole or in part at any time, without premium or penalty, provided that, together with any such prepayment, the Borrower shall pay any and all accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount so prepaid.
(b)    Mandatory Prepayments.  
(i)    The Note Obligations shall be prepaid in cash using 100% of the Net Proceeds of any Monetization Event until the Note Obligations are Paid in Full.  All mandatory prepayments of the Note Obligations shall be made no later than five (5) business day after the receipt by the Borrower of such Net Proceeds.  
(ii)    All mandatory prepayments of the Note Obligations shall be applied, first, to all Holder Expenses (other than Preparation Expenses, so long as no Event of Default is ongoing) until paid in full, second, to all accrued and unpaid interest until paid in full, third to the unpaid principal amount until paid in full, and fourth, to all other Note Obligations and other amounts payable hereunder. 
4.    Highest Lawful Rate.  
(a)     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if during any period for which interest is computed hereunder, the amount of interest computed on the basis provided for in this Secured Note, together with all fees, charges and other payments which are treated as interest under applicable law, as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, would exceed the amount of such interest computed on the basis of the Highest Lawful Rate, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay, and the Holder shall not be entitled to charge, collect, receive, reserve or take, interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, and during any such period the interest payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of the Highest Lawful Rate.  As used herein, “Highest Lawful Rate” means the maximum non-usurious rate of interest, as in effect from time to time, which may be charged, contracted for, reserved, received or collected by the Holder in connection with this Secured Note under applicable law.
(b)     If any provision of this Secured Note or of any of the other Note Documents would obligate the Borrower, any other TBG Entity or TBG Holdings to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to the Holder in an amount or calculated at a rate which would result in a receipt by the Holder of interest at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)) then, notwithstanding such provisions, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not so result in a receipt by the Holder of interest at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: firstly, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to the Holder and thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the Holder which would constitute "interest" for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).
5.    Borrower’s Representations, Warranties and Covenants.
(a)    The Borrower represents and warrants to the Holder that the Borrower is duly incorporated, organized or formed, as applicable, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization or incorporation, as applicable.

17.    Survival.  The Borrower’s obligations under Section 2(f) and Section 16 of this Secured Note shall survive any assignment of rights by the Holder, and the termination, satisfaction or discharge of all Note Obligations.

WHEREAS, the Employee has been employed by the Corporation.
WHEREAS, in connection with the Employee’s employment with the Corporation, the Employee has had and will continue to have access to confidential, proprietary and trade secret information of the Corporation and its affiliates and relating to the business of the Corporation and its affiliates, which confidential, proprietary and trade secret information the Corporation and its affiliates desire to protect from disclosure and unfair competition.  
WHEREAS, the Employee specifically acknowledges that executing this Agreement makes the Employee eligible for incentive compensation and severance opportunities for which the Employee would not be eligible if the Employee did not enter into this Agreement with the Corporation.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Corporation and the Employee hereby agree as follows: 
1.    EMPLOYMENT COMMENCEMENT DATE; PERIOD OF EMPLOYMENT.
(a)    Period of Employment.  The Corporation agrees to continue to employ the Employee, and the Employee agrees to continue to serve the Corporation, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

(c)    Definitions.  Various terms are defined either where they first appear underlined in this Agreement or in Section 7.
2.    DUTIES.   During the Employment Period, the Employee agrees to serve the Corporation faithfully and to the best of the Employee’s ability under the direction of the Chief Executive Officer and the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”), devoting the Employee’s entire business time, energy and skill to such employment, and to perform from time to time such services and act in such office or capacity as the President and the Board shall request.  The Employee shall follow applicable policies and procedures adopted by the Corporation from time to time, including without limitation policies relating to business ethics, conflicts of interest, non-discrimination, and confidentiality and protection of trade secrets.  
3.    OFFICE FACILITIES.  During the Employment Period under this Agreement, the Employee shall have the Employee’s office where the Corporation’s principal executive offices are located from time to time, which currently are at 7201 Metro Boulevard, Edina, Minnesota.

(a)    Base Salary.  The Corporation shall pay the Employee a base salary (the “Base Salary”), payable monthly, semi-monthly or weekly according to the Corporation’s general practice for its officers.  Such Base Salary may be modified by the Chief Executive Officer or the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (or, if the Employee is an “Executive Officer” under regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, then only by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors) in their sole discretion.  Following any such modification, any then-current Base Salary shall be the “Base Salary” for purposes of this Agreement.
(b)    Bonus.  To the extent the Employee meets the eligibility requirements, the Employee shall be eligible for an annual performance bonus (the “Bonus”) as determined under the provisions of the then-applicable Regis Corporation Short Term Incentive Plan (“Short Term Plan”), as amended from time to time, any successor to such plan, or such other annual incentive compensation program developed for the Corporation’s officers, with performance goals and other terms consistent with other officers of the Corporation.

(a)    Death or Disability.  If the Employee’s employment is terminated by reason of the Employee’s death or permanent disability, he (or the legal representative of the Employee’s estate in the event of the Employee’s death) shall be entitled to the following:
(i)     Accrued Compensation.  All compensation due the Employee under this Agreement and under each plan or program of the Corporation in which he may be participating at the time shall cease to accrue as of the date of such termination, except (A) as specifically provided in this Agreement or (B) in the case of any such plan or program, if and to the extent otherwise provided in the terms of such plan or program or by applicable law.  All such compensation accrued as of the date of such termination but not previously paid shall be paid to the Employee at the time such payment otherwise would be due.
(ii)    Accrued Obligations.  In addition, the Employee shall be entitled to payment of all accrued vacation pay.  
(b)    Termination Without Cause or  for Good Reason. If the Employee’s employment pursuant to this Agreement is terminated by the Corporation without Cause or the Employee terminates her employment for Good Reason, then the Employee shall be entitled to and shall receive the following:
 (i)    Accrued Compensation.  All compensation due the Employee under this Agreement and under each plan or program of the Corporation in which she may be participating at the time shall cease to accrue as of the date of such termination, except (A) as specifically provided in this Agreement or (B) in the case of any such plan or program, if and to the extent otherwise provided in the terms of such plan or program or by applicable law.  All such compensation accrued as of the date of such termination but not previously paid shall be paid to the Employee at the time such payment otherwise would be due.
(ii)    Accrued Obligations.  In addition, the Employee shall be entitled to payment of all accrued vacation pay. 
(iii)    Severance Payment.  Subject to the Employee signing and not revoking a release of claims in a form prescribed by the Corporation and the Employee remaining in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement and any other written agreements between the Corporation and the Employee, the Employee shall be entitled to receive the following amount as severance pay, subject to such amount being reduced as provided below (referred to in this Section 6(b)(iii) as the “Severance Payment”): (A) an amount equal to the pro rata Bonus for the fiscal year 

in which the Date of Termination occurs, determined by pro rating the Bonus the Employee would have received had the Employee remained employed through the payment date of any such Bonus (the proration shall be a fraction whose numerator is the number of days the Employee was employed by the Corporation that fiscal year through and including the Date of Termination and the denominator is 365), payable at the same time as bonuses are paid to other then-current officers of the Corporation under the then-applicable Short Term Plan for the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs, plus (B) an amount equal to one times the Employee’s Base Salary as of the Date of Termination, payable in substantially equal installments in accordance with the Corporation’s normal payroll policies commencing on the Date of Termination and continuing for twelve (12) consecutive months; provided, however, that any installments that otherwise would be paid during the first sixty (60) days after the Date of Termination will be delayed and included in the first installment paid to the Employee on the first payroll date that is more than sixty (60) days after the Date of Termination, and provided further that if the Employee is considered a “specified employee” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i)) as of the Date of Termination, then no payments of deferred compensation payable due to Employee’s separation from service for purposes of section 409A of the Code shall be made under this Agreement until the Corporation’s first regular payroll date that is after the first day of the seventh (7th) month following the Date of Termination and included with the installment payable on such payroll date, if any, without adjustment for interest or earnings during the period of delay.  Furthermore, any Severance Payment owed to the Employee under subsections (A) or (B) above will be reduced by the amount of any compensation earned by the Employee for any consulting or employment services provided on a substantially full-time basis during the 12-month period immediately following the Date of Termination, to the extent such compensation is payable by an entity unrelated to the Corporation.  
(iv)    Benefits Continuation.  Subject to the Employee signing and not revoking a release of claims in a form prescribed by the Corporation and the Employee remaining in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement and any other written agreements between the Corporation and the Employee, the Corporation will pay the employer portion of the Employee’s COBRA premiums for health and dental insurance coverage under the Corporation’s group health and dental insurance plans for the same period of time the Employee remains eligible to receive the Severance Payment installments under Section 6(b)(iii) (up to a maximum of twelve (12) months), provided the Employee timely elects COBRA coverage.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation will discontinue COBRA premium payments if, and at such time as, the Employee (A) is eligible to be covered under the health and/or dental insurance policy of a new employer, (B) ceases to participate, for whatever reason, in the Corporation’s group insurance plans, or (C) ceases to be eligible to receive the Severance Payment installments under Section 6(b)(iii).
(c)    Termination for Cause or Without Good Reason.  If the Employee’s employment pursuant to this Agreement is terminated pursuant to subsection (c) of Section 

5 hereof, or the Employee terminates this Agreement without Good Reason, then the Employee shall be entitled to and shall receive:
(i)     Accrued Compensation.  All compensation due the Employee under this Agreement and under each plan or program of the Corporation in which he may be participating at the time shall cease to accrue as of the date of such termination, except (A) as specifically provided in this Agreement or (B) in the case of any such plan or program, if and to the extent otherwise provided in the terms of such plan or program or by applicable law.  All such compensation accrued as of the date of such termination but not previously paid shall be paid to the Employee at the time such payment otherwise would be due.
(ii)    Accrued Obligations.  In addition, the Employee shall be entitled to payment of all accrued vacation pay. 
7.    DEFINITIONS.  Certain terms are defined where they first appear in this Agreement and are underlined for ease of reference.  In addition, the following definitions shall apply for purposes of this Agreement.
“Cause” shall mean (a) acts during the Employment Period (i) resulting in a felony conviction under any Federal or state statute,  or (ii) willful non-performance by the Employee of the Employee’s material employment duties required by this Agreement (other than by reason of the Employee’s physical or mental incapacity) after reasonable notice to the Employee and reasonable opportunity (not less than thirty (30) days) to cease such non-performance, or (b) the Employee willfully engaging in fraud or gross misconduct which is detrimental to the financial interests of the Corporation.  
“Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence during the Employment Period, without the express written consent of the Employee, of any of the following:
(a)any material diminution in the nature of the Employee's authority, duties or  responsibilities, or any removal of the Employee from, or any failure to reelect the Employee to, any such positions, except in connection with a termination of the employment of the Employee for Cause, permanent disability, or as a result of the Employee’s death or a termination of employment by the Employee other than for Good Reason; 
(b)a material reduction by the Corporation in the Employee's Base Salary then in effect (other than any such reduction that is part of an across-the-board reduction of base salaries for all officers provided the percentage reduction in the Employee’s Base Salary is commensurate with the percentage reduction in the base salaries for all other officers); 
(c)    failure by the Corporation to continue in effect (without substitution of a substantially equivalent plan or a plan of substantially equivalent value) any compensation plan, bonus or incentive plan, stock purchase plan, stock option plan, life insurance plan, health plan, disability plan or other benefit plan or arrangement in which the Employee is then participating;
(d)     any material breach by the Corporation of any provisions of this Agreement;

(e)    the requirement by the Corporation that the Employee's principal place of employment be relocated more than thirty (30) miles from the Corporation’s address for notice in Section 11(i); or
(f)    the Corporation's failure to obtain a satisfactory agreement from any successor to assume and agree to perform Corporation's obligations under this Agreement;
provided that the Employee notifies the Corporation of such condition set forth in clause (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) within ninety (90) days of its initial existence and the Corporation fails to remedy such condition within thirty (30) days of receiving such notice.
8.    CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.  The Employee shall not at any time during the Employment Period or thereafter disclose to others or use any trade secrets or any other confidential information belonging to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, including, without limitation, plans, programs and non-public information relating to customers of the Corporation or its subsidiaries, except as may be required to perform the Employee’s duties hereunder.  The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the termination of the Employee’s employment and consulting with the Corporation, provided that after the termination of the Employee’s employment with the Corporation, the restrictions contained in this Section 8 shall not apply to any such trade secret or confidential information which becomes generally known in the trade.
9.    NON-COMPETITION.
(a)    Non-competition.  For a period of twenty-four (24) months immediately following the Employee’s termination of employment hereunder (the “Non-Competition Period”), the Employee shall not enter into endeavors that are competitive with the business or operations of the Corporation in the beauty industry, and shall not own an interest in, manage, operate, join, control, lend money or render financial or other assistance to or participate in or be connected with, as an officer, employee, director, partner, member, stockholder (except for passive investments of not more than a one percent (1%) interest in the securities of a publicly held corporation regularly traded on a national securities exchange or in an over-the-counter securities market), consultant, independent contractor, or otherwise, any individual, partnership, firm, corporation or other business organization or entity that engages in a business which competes with the Corporation.
(b)    Non-solicitation.  During the Non-Competition Period, the Employee shall not (i) hire or attempt to hire any employee of the Corporation, assist in such hiring by any person or encourage any employee to terminate the Employee’s relationship with the Corporation; or (ii) solicit, induce, or influence any proprietor, franchisee, partner, stockholder, lender, director, officer, employee, joint venturer, investor, consultant, agent, lessor, supplier, customer or any other person or entity which has a business relationship with the Corporation or its affiliates at any time during the Non-Competition Period, to discontinue or reduce or modify the extent of such relationship with the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries.
10.    ACKNOWLEDGMENT; REMEDIES; LITIGATION EXPENSES.
(a)    Acknowledgment.  The Employee has carefully read and considered the provisions of Sections 8 and 9 hereof and agrees that the restrictions set forth in such sections 

are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for the protection of the interests of the Corporation, its officers, directors, shareholders, and other employees, for the protection of the business of the Corporation, and to ensure that the Employee devotes the Employee’s entire professional time, energy, and skills to the business of the Corporation.  The Employee acknowledges that he is qualified to engage in businesses other than that described in Section 9. It is the belief of the parties, therefore, that the best protection that can be given to the Corporation that does not in any way infringe upon the rights of the Employee to engage in any unrelated businesses is to provide for the restrictions described in Section 9. In view of the substantial harm which would result from a breach by the Employee of Sections 8 or 9, the parties agree that the restrictions contained therein shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law as more particularly set forth in Section 10(b) below. In the event that any of said restrictions shall be held unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the parties hereto agree that it is their desire that such court shall substitute a reasonable judicially enforceable limitation in place of any limitation deemed unenforceable and that as so modified, the covenant shall be as fully enforceable as if it had been set forth herein by the parties.
(b)    Remedies.  If the Employee violates any of the restrictive covenants set forth in Sections 8 or 9 above, and such violation continues after the Employee is notified in writing by the Corporation that he is in violation of the restrictive covenant, then (i) the Corporation shall have no further obligation to pay any portion of any Severance Payment and all such future payments shall be forfeited, and (ii) the Employee shall immediately return to the Corporation any Severance Payment previously paid to the Employee.  The Employee acknowledges that any breach or threatened breach of Sections 8 or 9 would damage the Corporation irreparably and, consequently, the Corporation, in addition to any other remedies available to it, shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunction, without having to post any bond or other security.
(c)    Attorneys Fees.  The Corporation shall be entitled to receive from the Employee reimbursement for reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by the Corporation in successfully enforcing these provisions to final judgment and the Employee shall be entitled to receive from the Corporation reasonable attorney's fees and expenses incurred by the Employee in the event the Corporation is found to be not entitled to enforcement of these provisions.
11.    MISCELLANEOUS.
(a)    Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Corporation, including any party with which the Corporation may merge or consolidate or to which it may transfer substantially all of its assets.  As used in this Agreement, the term “successor” shall include any person, firm, corporation or other business entity which at any time, whether by merger, purchase or otherwise, acquires all or substantially all of the capital stock or assets of the Corporation.
(b)    Non-assignability and Non-transferability.  The rights and obligations of the Employee under this Agreement are expressly declared and agreed to be personal, nonassignable and nontransferable during the Employee’s life.

(c)    Limitation of Waiver.  The waiver by either party hereto of its rights with respect to a breach of any provision of this Agreement by the other shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any rights with respect to any subsequent breach.
(d)    Complete Agreement.  This Agreement is the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes and replaces any and all prior agreements among the Corporation and the Employee with respect to the matters covered herein.  
(e)    Amendments.  No modification, amendment, addition, alteration or waiver of any of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof shall be effective unless made in writing and duly executed by the Corporation and the Employee.
(f)    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute but one and the same agreement.
(g)    Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to the conflicts of law principles thereof.
(h)    Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, it is to that extent to be deemed omitted and it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.
(i)    Notices.  Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing, and shall be deemed given when sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:
If to the Employee:    Rachel Endrizzi
_______________________________
_______________________________

If to the Corporation:    Regis Corporation
7201 Metro Boulevard
Edina, Minnesota  55439
Attn:  General Counsel
or mailed to such other person and/or address as the party to be notified may hereafter have designated by notice given to the other party in a similar manner.
(j)    Tax Withholding.  The Corporation may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such federal, state and local income and employment taxes as the Corporation shall determine are required or authorized to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.  
(k)    Section 409A.  This Agreement is intended to provide for payments that satisfy, or are exempt from, the requirements of Sections 409A(a)((2), (3) and (4) of the Code, including current and future guidance and regulations interpreting such provisions, and should be interpreted accordingly.  Except for any tax amounts withheld by the Corporation from the payments or other consideration hereunder and any employment taxes 

required to be paid by the Corporation, the Employee shall be responsible for payment of any and all taxes owed in connection with the consideration provided for in this Agreement.
(l)    Mandatory Arbitration.  Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by binding arbitration in the manner set forth in this Section 11(l).  Either party may submit any claim arising under or in connection with this Agreement for binding arbitration before an arbitrator in Hennepin County, Minnesota, in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association, as then in effect, or pursuant to such other form of alternative dispute resolution as the parties may agree (collectively, the “arbitration”).  The arbitrator’s sole authority shall be to interpret and apply the provisions of this Agreement; the arbitrator shall not change, add to, or subtract from, any of its provisions.  The arbitrator shall have the power to compel attendance of witnesses at the hearing.  Any court having competent jurisdiction may enter a judgment based upon such arbitration.  The arbitrator shall be appointed by mutual agreement of the Corporation and the claimant pursuant to the applicable commercial arbitration rules.  The arbitrator shall be a professional person with a national reputation for expertise in employee benefit matters and who is unrelated to the claimant and any employees of the Corporation.  All decisions of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the claimant and the Corporation.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement as of the date first set forth above.
