Returns with respect to the Alberto-Culver Group.

Section 2.01(c) to Spinco for its review and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) at least 15 days prior to filing, and (B) make any reasonable revisions to such Tax Returns that are requested by Spinco that affect the
amount of Taxes that are allocated to Spinco or any Spinco Subsidiary. 
  
 (d) Alberto-Culver agrees to comply with the requirements of Section 7.15(c) of the Merger Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 2.02. Obligation to Remit Taxes. Following the Distribution Date, Alberto-Culver and Spinco shall each remit or cause to be remitted
any Taxes due in respect of any Tax Return it is required to file or cause to be filed pursuant to Section 2.01. 
  

 6 

 SECTION 2.03. Tax Sharing Obligations and Prior Agreements. 
  
 (a) From and after the Distribution Time, Spinco shall, in a manner
consistent with Article IV of the Separation Agreement (including the principles of Section 4.05 of the Separation Agreement), indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Alberto-Culver and the Alberto-Culver Indemnified Parties from and
against, any and all Indemnifiable Losses incurred or suffered by Alberto-Culver or one or more of the Alberto-Culver Indemnified Parties in connection with, relating to, arising out of, or due to, directly or indirectly, (i) any Spinco Taxes
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Spinco Taxes arising from a redetermination thereof from an audit or examination); and (ii) any amount determined to be Spinco’s liability under Section 2.04. Any amount payable by
Spinco to Alberto-Culver with respect to any Tax pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) shall be reduced by any direct or indirect payments made by Spinco or any Spinco Affiliate with respect to such Tax after the Distribution Date to any
Alberto-Culver Indemnified Party. From and after the Distribution Time, Spinco shall be entitled to any refund of or credit for Taxes for which Spinco is responsible under this Agreement. 
  
 (b) From and after the Distribution Time, Alberto-Culver shall, in a manner consistent with Article IV of the Separation
Agreement (including the principles of Section 4.05 of the Separation Agreement), indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Spinco and the Spinco Indemnified Parties from and against, any and all Indemnifiable Losses incurred or suffered by
Spinco or one or more of the Spinco Indemnified Parties in connection with, relating to, arising out of, or due to, directly or indirectly, (i) any Alberto-Culver Taxes (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Alberto-Culver Taxes arising
from a redetermination thereof from an audit or examination); and (ii) any amount determined to be Alberto-Culver’s liability under Section 2.04. Any amount payable by Alberto-Culver to Spinco with respect to any Tax pursuant
to this Section 2.03(b) shall be reduced by any direct or indirect payments made by Alberto-Culver or any Alberto-Culver Affiliate with respect to such Tax after the Distribution Date to any Spinco Indemnified Party. From and after the
Distribution Time, Alberto-Culver shall be entitled to any refund of or credit for Taxes for which Alberto-Culver is responsible under this Agreement. 
  
 (c) Except as set forth in this Agreement or the Separation Agreement and in consideration of the mutual indemnities and other obligations of this
Agreement, any and all prior Tax sharing agreements or practices between Alberto-Culver or any Alberto-Culver Subsidiary, on the one hand, and Spinco or any Spinco Subsidiary, on the other hand, shall be terminated as of the Distribution Date.

  
 SECTION 2.04. Restructuring Taxes; Other Taxes
Relating to the Distribution. (a) Spinco shall be liable for 60% and Alberto-Culver shall be liable for 40% of any Restructuring Taxes that are imposed as a result of neither a Spinco Tainting Act nor an Alberto-Culver Tainting Act. In the
case of the imposition of a Restructuring Tax where there is both a Spinco Tainting Act and an Alberto-Culver Tainting Act, and each of the Spinco Tainting Act and the Alberto-Culver Tainting Act would alone be sufficient to result in the imposition
of such Restructuring Tax, Spinco shall be liable for 60% and Alberto-Culver shall be liable for 40% of such Restructuring Tax. In the case of a Restructuring Tax that would not have been imposed but for the existence of both a Spinco Tainting Act
and an Alberto-Culver Tainting Act, Spinco 
  

 7 

 and Alberto-Culver shall be liable for such Restructuring Tax to the extent the Spinco Tainting Act and the
Alberto-Culver Tainting Act, respectively, contributed to the imposition of such Restructuring Tax. Spinco shall be liable for Restructuring Taxes imposed solely as a result of a Spinco Tainting Act, and Alberto-Culver shall be liable for
Restructuring Taxes imposed solely as a result of an Alberto-Culver Tainting Act. In the case of a Tainting Act that results from a Prohibited Act, the party that committed or whose Affiliate committed such Prohibited Act shall be liable for
Restructuring Taxes imposed without regard to whether an opinion or supplemental ruling pertaining to such Prohibited Act pursuant to Section 4.02 was obtained, and without regard to whether the other party gave its consent to such
action pursuant to Section 4.02 or otherwise. 
  
 (b)
Spinco shall be liable for 66 2/3% and Alberto-Culver shall be liable for 33 1/3% of any sales, transfer, value added or other similar Taxes or fees (including all real
estate, patent, copyright and trademark transfer Taxes and real estate recording fees but excluding patent, copyright, and trademark recording fees (which are governed by Section 7.6 of the Merger Agreement) and excluding Restructuring Taxes)
payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement (the “Transaction Taxes”). The parties agree to timely sign and deliver such certificates or forms as are requested by the other party and may be
necessary or appropriate to enable such party to file promptly and timely the Tax Returns for such Transaction Taxes with the appropriate Taxing authorities and remit payment of the Transaction Taxes. 
  
 SECTION 2.05. Period that Includes the Date of Distribution. To
the extent permitted or required by Applicable Laws or administrative practice, the Taxable year of the Spinco Group shall be treated as closing at the close of the Distribution Date taking into account the principles of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.1502-76(b) or of a corresponding provision under the laws of an applicable state, local, municipal or foreign jurisdiction, except that no “ratable allocation election” for extraordinary items as defined thereunder will be
made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that, to the extent permissible by Applicable Laws, they shall allocate Expenses for which Tax benefits are available (such as immediate deductions, amortization or depreciation, increased basis
or otherwise) to Spinco’s Post-Distribution Period to the extent that Expense is borne by Spinco or any post-Distribution Affiliate of Spinco; and to the extent such an allocation is not permissible by Applicable Laws, Alberto-Culver agrees to
pay over any amount of Tax benefit it determines in good faith that Alberto-Culver realized as a result of such Expenses being allocated to the Pre-Distribution Period. To the extent the Taxable year of the Spinco Group is not permitted or required
to be closed by Applicable Laws or administrative practice, such Taxable year shall be deemed to close at the close of the Distribution Date for all purposes under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any deduction arising by reason of any
compensation paid to an employee of Spinco on the Distribution Date (including compensation arising from the exercise of options or the vesting of restricted stock) shall be allocable to the Taxable year ending on the Distribution Date. 

 
 SECTION 2.06. Tax Attributes. Tax benefit carryforwards to
Post-Distribution Periods, including net operating loss carryforwards, net capital loss carryforwards, foreign Tax credit carryforwards and research and development credit carryforwards shall be computed and allocated between the Alberto-Culver
Group and the Spinco Group based on the group that generated such item, except to the extent otherwise provided under Applicable Laws. 
  

 8 

 SECTION 2.07. Carryback Provisions. Unless the parties otherwise agree in writing, Spinco
shall elect and shall cause each of the Spinco Subsidiaries to elect, where permitted by Applicable Laws, to carry forward any loss, credit or similar Tax attribute (“Tax Carryover Attribute”) arising in a Post-Distribution Period that
could, in the absence of such election, be carried back to a Pre-Distribution Period. Any refund or credit of Taxes resulting from the required carryback of any Tax Carryover Attribute attributable to Spinco arising in a Post-Distribution Period
shall be for the account and benefit of Spinco; provided, however, that Alberto-Culver shall only be required to pay such amount to Spinco at the time such amount is actually realized in cash, credit, refund or offset by the
Alberto-Culver Group after taking into account all other Tax attributes of the Alberto-Culver Affiliated Group. Any refund, credit or offset of Taxes resulting from the carryback of any Tax Carryover Attribute attributable to Alberto-Culver arising
in a Post-Distribution Period shall be for the account and benefit of Alberto-Culver. If Spinco or any Spinco Subsidiary recognizes a Tax Carryover Attribute that, under Applicable Laws, must be carried back to a Pre-Distribution Period during which
Spinco or any Spinco Subsidiary joined in filing a Tax Return on a consolidated, combined, or unitary basis with one or more of Alberto-Culver or any Alberto-Culver Subsidiary, Alberto-Culver shall, at Spinco’s expense, file appropriate refund
claims within a reasonable period after being requested by Spinco to do so. 
  
 SECTION 2.08. Allocation of Tax Liability. 
  
 (a) Responsibility for Unpaid Taxes as of the Distribution Date. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Retained Tax Amount” shall equal (i) all accrued and unpaid income Taxes, net of
overpaid income Taxes, of Spinco or any of its Subsidiaries for the Pre-Distribution Period that are payable, or refundable, with Tax Returns due after the Distribution Date (other than combined, consolidated or unitary Tax Returns of Spinco or any
of its Subsidiaries to the extent such Tax Returns include Alberto-Culver or any Alberto-Culver Subsidiary, which will be paid by, or refundable to, Alberto-Culver or a member of the Alberto-Culver Group) and (ii) an amount equal to $3.9
million as full compensation for Taxes attributable to Pre-Distribution Periods for which Tax Returns have already been filed as of the Distribution Date. Alberto-Culver shall deliver to Spinco, not later than five Business Days prior to the
Distribution Date, an estimate of the Retained Tax Amount (the “Estimated Retained Tax Amount”), which amount, subject to mutually agreed upon changes prior to the Distribution Date, shall be subtracted from the amount to be
distributed by Spinco to Alberto-Culver as set forth in Section 2.05(c) of the Separation Agreement. Within 120 days following the Distribution Date, Alberto-Culver shall prepare and provide to Spinco the proposed final calculation of the
Retained Tax Amount and all supporting documents and workpapers (the “Proposed Retained Tax Amount”). The Estimated Retained Tax Amount and the Proposed Retained Tax Amount shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles as consistently applied by the Alberto-Culver Group and the Spinco Group in accordance with past practice as of the Distribution Date, with the exception that deferred Taxes shall not be taken into account, applying the
principles set forth in Section 2.09. For the avoidance of doubt, that portion of the Retained Tax Amount described in clause (i) shall not be determined by reference to any Taxes other than income Taxes and Spinco shall be
fully responsible for any non-income Taxes imposed on Spinco or any Spinco Subsidiary. 
  

 9 

 (b) Disputes. Within 60 days following the delivery of the Proposed Retained Tax Amount to Spinco,
Spinco shall notify Alberto-Culver in writing of any objections that Spinco may have to the Proposed Retained Tax Amount, stating in reasonable detail the basis for any such objections (an “Objection Notice”). If Spinco fails to
deliver an Objection Notice to Alberto-Culver within such 60-day period, Spinco will be deemed to have concurred with the calculation of the Proposed Retained Tax Amount and such amount shall become final and binding on the parties. If Spinco timely
delivers an Objection Notice to Alberto-Culver in accordance with this Section 2.08(b), then the Proposed Retained Tax Amount shall become final and binding upon the parties on the earlier of (i) the date Spinco and Alberto-Culver
resolve in writing any differences that they have with respect to any matter specified in the Objection Notice and (ii) the date any matters properly in dispute are finally resolved in writing by the Independent Expert, as defined below. During
the 30 days immediately following the delivery of an Objection Notice, Spinco and Alberto-Culver shall, together with their respective accountants, promptly consult with each other in good faith and exercise reasonable efforts to attempt to resolve
differences in their respective analyses of the Proposed Retained Tax Amount. If Spinco and Alberto-Culver are unable to resolve their differences within such 30-day period, the matter shall be promptly referred to an independent nationally
recognized accounting firm selected by Spinco and Alberto-Culver (the “Independent Expert”) which shall be instructed to resolve such differences within 30 days after the matter is referred to it. The Independent Expert shall make
its determination based solely on presentations by Spinco and Alberto-Culver. The Independent Expert shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator, and shall resolve only the matters in dispute. The amount agreed to by the parties or determined by
the Independent Expert shall be the “Final Retained Tax Amount”. 
  
 (c) Payments. Once the Final Retained Tax Amount has been determined, either by agreement of the parties or pursuant to determination by the Independent Expert (the “Final Tax Amount
Determination”), (a) if the Final Retained Tax Amount exceeds the Estimated Retained Tax Amount, then Alberto-Culver shall pay to Spinco an amount equal to the excess of the Final Retained Tax Amount over the Estimated Retained Tax
Amount, and (b) if the Estimated Retained Tax Amount exceeds the Final Retained Tax Amount, then Spinco shall pay to Alberto-Culver an amount equal to the excess of the Estimated Retained Tax Amount over the Final Retained Tax Amount. Any
payments required under this Section 2.08(c) shall be made within 15 days of the Final Tax Amount Determination. 
  
 (d) Fees and Expenses. Each of Spinco and Alberto-Culver shall bear the fees and expenses of its respective accountants incurred in performing
services pursuant to this Section 2.08. If an Independent Expert is selected to resolve differences between Spinco and Alberto-Culver in accordance with Section 2.08(b), Spinco and Alberto-Culver shall each pay one-half of
the fees and expenses, including any retainers, of such firm in performing such services. 
  
 SECTION 2.09. Audit or Redetermination of U.S. Federal Income Tax Liability or U.S. State, Local or Municipal Consolidated, Combined or Unitary Income Tax Liability. 
  

 10 

 (a) With respect to an audit or redetermination of the consolidated federal income Tax liability of the
Alberto-Culver Affiliated Group for any Pre-Distribution Period, the amount of federal income Taxes constituting Spinco Taxes (other than with respect to Restructuring Taxes) shall be determined on a separate company basis with respect to the Spinco
Group. Thus, Spinco’s share of such Taxes will generally equal the Tax liability or refund that the Spinco Group would have had if they had filed a separate return for the relevant period. Spinco shall pay to Alberto-Culver any reduction in the
separate company liability of Spinco or any Spinco Subsidiary resulting from the absorption of losses, credits or other Tax attributes of Alberto-Culver or any Alberto-Culver Subsidiary that would have otherwise actually been used by Alberto-Culver
or any Alberto-Culver Subsidiary. Conversely, Spinco shall be entitled to payment from Alberto-Culver to the extent that the absorption of Spinco or any Spinco Subsidiary’s losses, credits, or other Tax attributes that would have otherwise
actually been used by Spinco or any Spinco Subsidiary reduces the Alberto-Culver Affiliated Group’s consolidated federal income Tax liability. 
  
 (b) The amount of any other income Taxes (other than Restructuring Taxes) resulting from an audit or redetermination constituting Spinco Taxes determined
on a combined, consolidated or unitary basis with Alberto-Culver or any Alberto-Culver Subsidiary shall be determined on a separate company basis with respect to the Spinco Group. Thus, Spinco’s share of such Taxes will generally equal the Tax
liability or refund that the Spinco Group would have had if they had filed a separate return for the relevant period. Spinco shall pay to Alberto-Culver any reduction in the separate company liability of Spinco or any Spinco Subsidiary resulting
from the absorption of losses, credits or other Tax attributes of Alberto-Culver or any Alberto-Culver Subsidiary that would have otherwise actually been used by Alberto-Culver or any Alberto-Culver Subsidiary. Conversely, Spinco shall be entitled
to payment from Alberto-Culver to the extent that the absorption of Spinco or any Spinco Subsidiary’s losses, credits, or other Tax attributes that would have otherwise actually been used by Spinco or any Spinco Subsidiary reduces the separate
company Tax liability of Alberto-Culver or any Alberto-Culver Subsidiary. 
  
 (c) To the extent required by Applicable Laws, with respect to any income Tax audit or redetermination of any foreign Tax credit claimed with respect to any Pre-Distribution Period, in the determination of foreign
source income, the research and development expenses, interest expenses, and other general administrative expenses shall be allocated to the foreign source income which gave rise to such expense allocation. 
  
 (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
any excess foreign Tax credit as computed on IRS Form 1118 of an originally filed U.S. consolidated federal income Tax Return of the Alberto-Culver Affiliated Group for any Pre-Distribution Period which results in a carryback of such excess foreign
Tax credit to another Pre-Distribution Period shall be considered to be on account of and for the benefit of the Alberto-Culver Group whether such foreign Tax credit carryback is ultimately realized through the filing of an amended U.S. consolidated
federal income Tax Return or included in an audit report or other redetermination issued by the IRS after the Distribution Date, but only to the extent such filings are made prior to the Distribution Date. Only a further adjustment, resulting from
an IRS audit or redetermination of the U.S. federal Tax payable with respect to any Pre-Distribution Period, to the original computation of any excess foreign Tax credit reported on an originally filed U.S. 
  

 11 

 consolidated federal income Tax Return of the Alberto-Culver Affiliated Group shall be allocable under this
Section 2.09 for purposes of computing the Tax liability or Tax refund attributable to either the Alberto-Culver Group or the Spinco Group resulting from an IRS audit or other redetermination of the U.S. federal income Tax payable with
respect to any Pre-Distribution Period. 
  
 (e) For the avoidance
of doubt, any adjustment to or redetermination of the income Tax liability of the Spinco Group or the Alberto-Culver Group under this Section 2.09 shall be made only with respect to Pre-Distribution Period income Taxes related to a
consolidated, combined or unitary income Tax Return which become due after the Distribution Date arising only by reason of an audit, redetermination or examination concluding after the Distribution Date. 
  
 SECTION 2.10. Amended Tax Returns. From and after the
Distribution Time, Alberto-Culver shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, file any amended Tax Return for any Pre-Distribution Period that includes Spinco or any Spinco Subsidiary without the prior written consent of Spinco (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld) unless such amended Tax Return does not affect the liability or any attributes of Spinco or any of its Affiliates under this Agreement or the Merger Agreement (including the ability of Spinco to carry back a
Tax attribute in accordance with Section 2.07). 
  
 ARTICLE III 
 TAX AUDITS 
  
 The following provisions shall apply from and after the Distribution Time. 
  
 SECTION 3.01. Controlling Party. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each of Spinco and
Alberto-Culver (as the case may be, the “Controlling Party”) shall have sole responsibility for all audits or other proceedings with respect to Tax Returns that it is required to file under Section 2.01. Except as
provided in Section 3.03, the Controlling Party shall have the sole right to contest the audit or proceeding and to employ advisors of its choice at its expense. 
  
 SECTION 3.02. Indemnified Claims in General. Alberto-Culver or Spinco shall promptly notify the other in
writing upon the receipt of any notice of audit, examination, redetermination or other like proceeding by the relevant Taxing authority that could reasonably result in liability of the other party (the “Indemnitor”) under this
Agreement. If the Indemnitor is not also the Controlling Party, the Controlling Party shall provide the Indemnitor with information about the nature and progress of the audit, examination, redetermination or other like proceeding and, subject to
additional rights of the Indemnitor in certain circumstances under Section 3.03, shall permit the Indemnitor to participate in the proceeding at the Indemnitor’s own expense (including without limitation the right to participate in
material conference calls and meetings and to have reasonable comments incorporated in any written submission or response submitted to the relevant Tax authority to the extent such items bear on the Tax for which the Indemnitor could be liable). The
Controlling Party shall be liable for any failure to notify or provide such information to the Indemnitor, except to the extent the Indemnitor is not materially prejudiced thereby. 
  

 12 

 SECTION 3.03. Certain Tax Claims. Any issue raised by the relevant Taxing authority in any
Tax inquiry, audit, redetermination, examination, investigation, dispute, litigation or other proceeding that would result in liability to the Indemnitor under this Agreement is defined as a Claim (a “Claim”). Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement that may be construed to the contrary, the Controlling Party agrees to contest any Claim for which the Controlling Party is not reasonably likely to have any liability at the direction of the Indemnitor and not to
settle any Claim without prior written consent of the Indemnitor, provided that (i) within 30 days after notice of a Claim is received by the Indemnitor, the Indemnitor shall request in writing that such Claim be contested and, (ii) the
Indemnitor shall agree to pay (and shall pay) on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, Indemnifiable Losses (including, but not limited to, legal and accounting fees) paid or incurred by the Controlling Party in connection with contesting such
Claim. The Indemnitor, at its option, may select as lead counsel of such defense any legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Controlling Party. In contesting any Claim in accordance with the foregoing, the Indemnitor shall, after reasonable
consultation with the Controlling Party, determine the nature of all actions to be taken to contest such Claim, including (x) whether any action to contest such Claim shall initially be by way of judicial or administrative proceeding, or both,
(y) whether any such Claim shall be contested by resisting payment thereof or by paying the same and seeking a refund thereof (provided that the Indemnitor will provide funds on an interest-free basis for payment in the case of the latter
course consistent with Section 3.04(b) below), and (z) the court or other judicial body before which judicial action, if any, shall be commenced. To the extent the Indemnitor is not participating, the Controlling Party shall keep
the Indemnitor (and, upon request by the Indemnitor, its counsel) informed as to the progress of the contest. In the case of Restructuring Taxes for which liability is shared under Section 2.04(a), each party shall pay a portion (based
on each party’s share of such Restructuring Taxes) of the reasonable expenses (including legal and accounting fees) incurred in connection with contesting such Restructuring Tax dispute. In the case of a Claim for which both the Controlling
Party and the Indemnitor may bear liability, each party shall bear its own expenses in contesting such a Claim, and the parties agree to use reasonable best efforts to separate the issues for resolution, to the extent possible. To the extent the
issues cannot be separated, the parties shall, in good faith, use reasonable best efforts to jointly control the contesting of such a Claim (including the selection of lead counsel), although the party with the greater liability at stake shall
ultimately have control over the settlement or other disposition of such Claim after affording the other party the right to participate fully in contesting the Claim (including without limitation the right to attend material conference calls and
meetings and to have reasonable comments incorporated in any written submission or response submitted to the relevant Tax authority to the extent such items bear on the Tax for which the other party could be liable). 
  
 SECTION 3.04. Payments with Respect to Claims 
  
 (a) If the Indemnitor requests that the Controlling Party accept a
settlement of a Claim offered by the relevant Taxing authority and if such Claim may, in the reasonable discretion of the Controlling Party, be settled without prejudicing any claims the relevant Taxing authority may have with respect to matters
unrelated to the Claim, the Controlling Party shall either accept such settlement offer or agree with the Indemnitor that the Indemnitor’s liability with respect to such Claim shall be limited to the lesser of (i) an amount calculated on
the basis of such settlement offer plus interest owed to the relevant Taxing authority on the date of eventual payment or (ii) the amount calculated on the basis of a Final Determination. 
  

 13 

 (b) If it is determined that the Controlling Party shall pay the Tax claimed and seek a refund, the
Indemnitor shall lend sufficient funds on an interest-free basis to the Controlling Party (with no net after-Tax cost to the Controlling Party), to cover any applicable indemnity obligations of the Indemnitor under this Agreement. To the extent such
refund claim is ultimately disallowed, the loan or portion thereof equal to the amount of the refund claim so disallowed shall be applied against the Indemnitor’s obligation to make indemnity payments pursuant to this Agreement. To the extent
such refund claim is allowed, the Controlling Party shall pay to the Indemnitor all amounts advanced to the Controlling Party with respect to the indemnity obligation within 10 days of the receipt of such refund (or if the Controlling Party would
have received such refund but for the existence of a counterclaim or other claim not indemnified by the Indemnitor under this Agreement, within 10 days of the final resolution of the contest), plus an amount equal to any interest received (or that
would have been received) from the relevant Taxing authority that is properly attributable to such amount. 
  
 (c) Except as provided below, the Controlling Party shall not settle a Claim that the Indemnitor is entitled to require the Controlling Party to contest
under Section 3.03 without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor. At any time, whether before or after commencing to take any action pursuant to this Article III with respect to any Claim, the Controlling Party may decline
to take action with respect to such Claim and may settle such Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor by notifying the Indemnitor in writing that the Indemnitor is released from its obligations to indemnify the Controlling Party
with respect to such Claim (which notification shall release the Indemnitor from such obligations except to the extent the Indemnitor has agreed in writing that it would be willing to have its liability calculated on the basis of a settlement offer,
as provided in Section 3.04(a), at that point in the contest) and with respect to any Claim related to such Claim or based on the outcome of such Claim. If the Controlling Party settles any Claim or otherwise takes or declines to take
any action pursuant to this paragraph, the Controlling Party shall pay to the Indemnitor any amounts paid or advanced by the Indemnitor with respect to such Claim (other than amounts payable by the Indemnitor in connection with a settlement offer
pursuant to Section 3.04(a)), plus interest attributable to such amounts. 
  
 (d) If any party required to make a payment hereunder fails to make such payment when required by this Agreement (or, if no required time period is specified, within 10 Business Days of written request by the party to
whom the payment is due), the amount due shall bear interest at a rate equal to the prime rate of Citibank, N.A. in effect on the date such payment was required to be made plus 2%. 
  
 ARTICLE IV 
 COOPERATION 
  
 The following provisions shall
apply from and after the Distribution Time. 
  
 SECTION 4.01.
Inconsistent Actions. Each party hereto agrees to, and to cause each of its Affiliates to, (a) report the Distribution as a tax-free distribution under Section 355 of the Code and the Merger as a reorganization described in
Section 368 of the Code on all Tax 
  

 14 

 Returns and other filings, and (b) comply with and take no action inconsistent with the representations and
covenants provided to the IRS in connection with obtaining the Private Letter Ruling, and (c) not fail to be engaged in the conduct of the active trade or business relied upon for purposes of satisfying the requirements of Section 355(b)
of the Code for purposes of the Private Letter Ruling. For all Post-Distribution Periods, each party to this Agreement agrees to, and to cause each of its Affiliates to, in the absence of a controlling change in Applicable Laws or circumstances,
report on all Tax Returns, the Tax consequences of the transactions undertaken pursuant to the Transaction Agreements and the Merger Agreement in accordance with the positions taken with respect to such transactions to the extent reported on Tax
Returns filed with respect to all Pre-Distribution Periods in respect of such transactions. 
  
 SECTION 4.02. Prohibited Acts. 
  
 (a) Other than pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (including the merger of Spinco with Merger Sub), Spinco and its Affiliates agree that for 24 months following the Distribution Date
(the “Restricted Period”) they will not (i) merge or consolidate any Spinco Subsidiary with or into any other Person, (ii) liquidate or partially liquidate any Spinco Subsidiary (within the meaning of such terms as defined
in Section 346 and Section 302, respectively, of the Code), or (iii) sell or transfer all or substantially all of the assets of Spinco or any Spinco Subsidiary in a single transaction or series of related transactions, or sell,
transfer or otherwise dispose of any portion of the assets of Spinco or any Spinco Subsidiary that would violate the “continuity of business enterprise” requirement of Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-1(d). 
  
 (b) In addition, during the Restricted Period Alberto-Culver and its
Affiliates, on the one hand, and Spinco and its Affiliates, on the other hand, agree that they will not (i) redeem or otherwise repurchase any capital stock of Alberto-Culver or Regis other than pursuant to open market stock repurchase programs
meeting the requirements of Section 4.05(1)(b) of Rev. Proc. 96-30, 1996-1 C.B. 696, or (ii) enter into any agreements or arrangements with respect to transactions or events (including, but not limited to, capital contributions or
acquisitions, entering into any partnership or joint venture arrangements, stock issuances, option grants, or a series of such transactions or events (but excluding the Distribution)), in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above that
may cause the Distribution to be treated as part of a plan pursuant to which one or more Persons acquire directly or indirectly stock of Spinco or Alberto-Culver representing a “50-percent or greater interest” therein within the meaning of
Section 355(d)(4) of the Code (the acts described in Sections 4.01 and 4.02(a) hereof, and clauses (i) and (ii) above, collectively, the “Prohibited Acts”). 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may take any of the Prohibited
Acts, subject to Section 2.04, if, (i) in the case of Spinco and its Affiliates, (A) Spinco first obtains (at its expense) an opinion in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Alberto-Culver of O’Melveny &
Myers LLP or another nationally recognized law firm reasonably acceptable to Alberto-Culver, which opinion may be based on usual and customary factual representations, or (B) at Spinco’s request, Alberto-Culver (at the expense of Spinco)
obtains a supplemental ruling from the IRS, or, (ii) in the case of Alberto-Culver and its Affiliates, (A) Alberto-Culver first obtains (at its expense) an opinion in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Spinco of Sidley Austin LLP
or another nationally recognized law firm reasonably acceptable to Spinco, 
  

 15 

 which opinion may be based on usual and customary factual representations or (B) Alberto-Culver (at the expense of
Alberto-Culver) obtains a supplemental ruling from the IRS, in each case that such Prohibited Act(s), and any transaction related thereto, will not affect any of the conclusions set forth in the Private Letter Ruling or Tax Opinion, including
(i) the qualification of the Distribution under Section 355 of the Code, and (ii) the nonrecognition of gain to Alberto-Culver in the Distribution. A party may also take any of the Prohibited Acts, subject to Section 2.04,
with the consent of the other party in the other party’s sole and absolute discretion. During the Restricted Period, the parties shall provide, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to provide, all information reasonably requested by the
other party relating to any transaction involving an acquisition (directly or indirectly) of that party’s stock within the meaning of Section 355(e) of the Code. The parties hereto agree that the payment of monetary compensation would not
be an adequate remedy to a breach of the obligations described in the Prohibited Acts, and each party consents to the issuance and entry of an injunction to prevent a breach of the obligations contained in the Prohibited Acts, subject to the waiver
and consent described in the preceding sentence. 
  
 SECTION
4.03. Cooperation with Respect to Tax Return Filings, Examinations and Tax Related Controversies. In addition to any obligations imposed pursuant to the Separation Agreement, each party shall fully cooperate with the other party and its
representatives, in a prompt and timely manner, in connection with (i) the preparation and filing of and (ii) any inquiry, audit, redetermination, examination, investigation, dispute, or litigation involving, any Tax Return required to be
filed by such other party pursuant to this Agreement. Such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, (x) the execution and delivery to such other party of any power of attorney required to allow such other party and its counsel to
participate in or control any inquiry, audit or other administrative proceeding and to assume the defense or prosecution, as the case may be, of any suit, action or proceeding pursuant to the terms of and subject to the conditions set forth in
Article III, and (y) making available, during normal business hours, and within 15 days of any written request therefor, all books, records and information, and the assistance of all officers and employees, necessary or useful in
connection with any Tax inquiry, audit, redetermination, examination, investigation, dispute, litigation or any other matter. Any recoveries by Alberto-Culver, Spinco or any of their respective Affiliates against third parties (including awards for
damages) relating to Restructuring Taxes shall be shared and allocated by the parties consistently with the allocation of the underlying Restructuring Taxes. 
  
 SECTION 4.04. Cooperation with Respect to Particular Tax Return Filings. With respect to each loss of any Spinco Subsidiary disclosed by
Alberto-Culver on Schedule 4.04 of this Agreement for which an Treasury Regulation Section 1.1503-2T(g)(2) election has or will be made for Pre-Distribution Periods, Alberto-Culver shall timely file or cause to be timely filed a closing
agreement with the IRS pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1503-2(g)(2)(iv)(B)(3)(i). Spinco shall cause any Spinco Affiliate required to execute such closing agreement to actually execute such closing agreement, cooperate with the
completion and timely filing of the closing agreement and accept and assume the Tax obligations related to the closing agreement. Alberto-Culver shall, in a manner consistent with Article IV of the Separation Agreement (including the principles of
Section 4.05 of the Separation Agreement), indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Spinco and the Spinco Indemnified Parties from and against, any and all Indemnifiable Losses incurred or suffered by Spinco or one or more of the Spinco
Indemnified Parties in connection with, relating to, arising out of, or due to, directly or indirectly any inaccuracy of any item disclosed on Schedule 4.04. 
  

 16 

 ARTICLE V 
 RETENTION OF RECORDS; ACCESS 
  
 The Alberto-Culver Group and the Spinco Group shall retain all Information in accordance with Section 6.04 of the Separation Agreement. 
  
 ARTICLE VI 
 DISPUTES 

 
 From and after the Distribution Time, if Alberto-Culver and Spinco cannot
agree on the calculation of any liability under this Agreement, or the interpretation or application of any provision under this Agreement, either party may provide to the other party written notice of intent to invoke the dispute resolution
procedures of this Article VI. Within 10 days following the receipt of such written notice, Alberto-Culver and Spinco shall jointly retain a nationally recognized law firm or “big four” accounting firm, which firm is independent of
both parties (the “Independent Firm”), to resolve the dispute. If the parties cannot jointly agree on an Independent Firm to resolve the dispute within the 10 day period, then each party shall select a nationally recognized law firm
or “big four” accounting firm, which firm is independent of both parties, and both law or accounting firms shall jointly select an Independent Firm which shall make the determination under this Article VI. The Independent Firm shall
act as an arbitrator to resolve all points of disagreement and its decision shall be final and binding upon all parties involved. The Independent Firm shall determine the appropriate outcome based upon this Agreement with respect to each disputed
item. The Independent Firm shall have 90 days from the date that it is selected in which to make such determinations, unless Alberto-Culver and Spinco mutually agree on an extension of such period or the Independent Firm, in its discretion,
determines that an extension of such period is warranted by exceptional circumstances. Alberto-Culver and Spinco shall provide the Independent Firm with such information or documentation as the Independent Firm deems in its discretion to be
necessary for it to make the determinations requested of it. Any determination by the Independent Firm shall be in writing. Following the decision of the Independent Firm, Alberto-Culver and Spinco shall each take or cause to be taken any action
necessary to implement the decision of the Independent Firm. The fees and expenses relating to the Independent Firm shall be borne by the party that such Independent Firm determines has lost the dispute. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Article
VI shall not apply to any dispute arising under Section 2.04 with respect to the respective liability of the parties in the event Restructuring Taxes are imposed. 
  
 ARTICLE VII 
 SURVIVAL OF LIABILITIES 
  
 Notwithstanding any
other provision in this Agreement, any liabilities under this Agreement shall survive for 60 days following any applicable statute of limitation; provided, however, that each party may continue to demand the full amount of payment to
be made with respect to any such liabilities under this Agreement and such liabilities shall continue to survive until paid in full in accordance with this Agreement. 
  

 17 

 ARTICLE VIII 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 SECTION 8.01. Entire Agreement; Construction. This Agreement, the Separation Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, including any annexes, schedules and exhibits hereto or thereto, and other agreements
and documents referred to herein and therein, will together constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and will supersede all prior negotiations, agreements and understandings of the
parties of any nature, whether oral or written, with respect to such subject matter. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event and to the extent that there is a conflict relating to Taxes between the
provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Separation Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreements the provisions of this Agreement will control.

agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and survive the Distribution Time.

 SECTION 8.07. Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of Alberto-Culver and Spinco irrevocably agrees
that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, any provision hereof, the breach, performance, validity or invalidity hereof or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect
hereof brought by another party hereto or its successors or permitted assigns may be brought and determined in any federal or state court located in the State of Delaware, and each of Alberto-Culver and Spinco hereby irrevocably submits with regard
to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Each of Alberto-Culver and Spinco hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert,

 SPINCO EMPLOYEE MATTERS 
  
 2.01 Employment. Each Spinco Employee shall be an employee of a member of the Spinco Group immediately following the Distribution Time.

  
 2.02 Severance Obligations. 
  
 (a) It is not intended that any Spinco Employee or Former Spinco Employee
will be entitled to termination or severance benefits solely as a result of the Distribution, Merger, Subsequent Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger Agreement (other than payments or benefits with respect to
Spinco Employees who separate from service in connection with such transactions). Alberto-Culver shall indemnify and hold harmless Spinco in the event that any Spinco Employee or Former Spinco Employee obtains a final, nonappealable judgment from a
Governmental Entity declaring that such Spinco Employee or Former Spinco Employee is entitled to severance benefits under an Alberto-Culver severance plan or agreement solely as a result of the Distribution, Merger, Subsequent Merger or any other
transaction contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger Agreement; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, Alberto-Culver shall be under no such obligation with respect to any Spinco Employee whose employment with the Spinco Group or
Regis or any of its Affiliates terminates after the Distribution. For purposes of this Section 2.02(a), Alberto-Culver shall determine in its sole discretion whether any judgment or determination by a Governmental Entity shall be appealed,
shall notify Spinco in writing of such determination, and shall pay or reimburse each member of the Spinco Group for its reasonable expenses incurred in connection with any such appeal. If Alberto-Culver notifies Spinco in writing that a judgment or
determination by a Governmental Entity shall not be appealed, such determination shall be deemed a final, nonappealable judgment from a Governmental Entity as set forth in the first sentence of this Section 2.02(a). 
  
 (b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.02(a) and Section
2.02(c), from and after the Distribution Time, Spinco shall assume and be fully responsible for, and neither Alberto-Culver nor any of its Affiliates shall have any liability or responsibility for, any termination or severance payment or benefit
obligations with respect to Spinco Employees or Former Spinco Employees payable after the Distribution Time, including any severance payments owed, but not yet paid, to any Former Spinco Employee. 
  

 3 

 (c) Alberto-Culver shall retain and be fully responsible for, and no member of the Spinco Group shall
have any liability or responsibility for, any termination or severance payments or benefit obligations (i) with respect to the person set forth on Schedule A or (ii) that become payable in connection with a termination of employment that occurs, or
a notice of employment termination that is provided, at or prior to the Distribution Time under a Termination Agreement among Alberto-Culver, Spinco and each of the Spinco Employees listed on Schedule B. 
  
 2.03 Personnel Records. 
  
 (a) Subject to Applicable Laws, all information and records regarding
employment and personnel matters of Spinco Employees and Former Spinco Employees shall be retained after the Distribution Time by Spinco in accordance in all material respects with Applicable Laws relating to the collection, storage, retention and
disclosure of such records. Access to such records after the Distribution Time will be provided to Alberto-Culver in accordance with Article VI of the Separation Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Alberto-Culver shall retain reasonable
access, in accordance with Applicable Laws, to those records necessary to Alberto-Culver’s continued administration of any plans or programs on behalf of Spinco Employees and Former Spinco Employees after the Distribution Time or as otherwise
required by Applicable Laws for so long as said administration continues pursuant to this Agreement or such longer period as required by Applicable Laws. Alberto-Culver shall also retain copies of any confidentiality and non-compete agreements with
any Spinco Employee or Former Spinco Employee in which Alberto-Culver has an interest. 
  
 (b) Alberto-Culver shall retain all information and records regarding employment and personnel matters of Spinco Employees and Former Spinco Employees and in Alberto-Culver’s possession immediately after the
Distribution Time, but only to the extent Alberto-Culver is required to do so under Applicable Laws relating to the collection, storage, retention and disclosure of such records. Access to such records after the Distribution Time will be provided to
Spinco in accordance with Article VI of the Separation Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Spinco shall retain reasonable access, in accordance with Applicable Laws, to those records necessary to Spinco’s continued administration
of any plans or programs on behalf of Spinco Employees and Former Spinco Employees after the Distribution Time or as otherwise required by Applicable Laws for so long as said administration continues pursuant to this Agreement or such longer period
as required by Applicable Laws. Spinco shall also retain any confidentiality and non-compete agreements with any Spinco Employee or Former Spinco Employee. 
  
 ARTICLE III 
 WELFARE PLANS

  
 3.01 Cessation of Participation in Alberto-Culver
Welfare Plans. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, each member of the Spinco Group shall cease to be a participating employer in all Welfare Plans sponsored by Alberto-Culver (the “Alberto-Culver Welfare
Plans”), and participation in the Alberto-Culver Welfare Plans will cease for all Spinco Employees and Former Spinco Employees, if any, no later than at the Distribution Time. 
  

 4 

 3.02 Spinco’s Welfare Plans. To the extent applicable to any welfare plans in which
Spinco Employees or Former Spinco Employees participate after the Distribution Time that provide benefits similar to the benefits that had been provided to such employees under an Alberto-Culver Welfare Plan immediately prior to the Distribution
Time (the “Spinco Welfare Plans”), Spinco shall cause the Spinco Welfare Plans to recognize all coverage and contribution elections made by Spinco Employees and Former Spinco Employees under the Alberto-Culver Welfare Plans in
effect for the period immediately prior to the Distribution Time and shall apply such elections under the Spinco Welfare Plans for the remainder of the period or periods for which such elections are by their terms applicable, in each case to the
extent practicable. All beneficiary designations made by Spinco Employees and Former Spinco Employees under the Alberto-Culver Welfare Plans shall, to the extent applicable, be transferred to, and be in full force and effect under, the Spinco
Welfare Plans until such beneficiary designations are replaced or revoked by the Spinco Employee or Former Spinco Employee who made the beneficiary designation.

Spinco Employee after the Distribution Time under the Spinco Welfare Plans, and neither Alberto-Culver nor the Alberto-Culver Welfare Plans shall assume or retain any such Liabilities. 
  
 (b) Alberto-Culver Liabilities. Alberto-Culver shall continue to be solely responsible, after the Distribution Time,
for all claims for welfare benefits (and for any Liabilities arising as a result of such claims), other than severance plan benefits, incurred by any Spinco Employee or Former Spinco Employee, if any, under the Alberto-Culver Welfare Plans at or
prior to the Distribution Time, whether such claims have been paid or remain unpaid as of such date, and neither Spinco nor the Spinco Welfare Plans shall assume or retain any such Liabilities. Claims for health benefits shall be considered to be
incurred prior to the Distribution Time if the services related to such claims were provided prior to the Distribution Time. Claims for all other welfare benefits shall be considered to be incurred prior to the Distribution Time if the date of loss
occurred prior to the Distribution Time. 
  
 (c) COBRA and
HIPAA Liabilities. From and after the Distribution Time, Spinco shall assume, and be solely responsible for, the continuation coverage requirements under COBRA and the portability requirements under the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) with respect to all Spinco Employees and Former Spinco Employees and their qualified beneficiaries, which for purposes of clarity shall exclude the person set forth on Schedule A. 
  
 3.04 Flexible Spending Accounts. From and after the
Distribution Time, Spinco shall retain, and be solely responsible for, all Liabilities incurred by any Spinco Employee or Former Spinco Employee under the flexible spending account plan sponsored by Spinco, and Alberto-Culver shall not assume or
retain any such Liabilities.

shall retain, and be solely responsible for, all long-term disability benefits payable, at or after the Distribution Time, to (a) Spinco Employees receiving long-term disability benefits prior to the Distribution Time, and (b) Former Spinco
Employees, and Spinco shall not assume or retain any such Liabilities. 
  
 ARTICLE IV 
 COMPENSATION MATTERS 
 AND NON-ERISA BENEFIT ARRANGEMENTS 
  
 4.01 Cessation of Participation in Alberto-Culver Non-ERISA Benefit Arrangements. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, each member of the Spinco Group shall cease to be a participating
employer in all Alberto-Culver Non-ERISA Benefit Arrangements, and participation in the Alberto-Culver Non-ERISA Benefit Arrangements will cease for all Spinco Employees and Former Spinco Employees at the Distribution Time. 
  
 4.02 Assumption of Employee Related Obligations. From and after
the Distribution Time, Spinco shall assume or retain (as applicable), and be solely responsible for, all Liabilities related to the agreements and obligations described in Section 4.02(a) through Section 4.02(f) and none of
Alberto-Culver or any Affiliate of Alberto-Culver or the Alberto-Culver Non-ERISA Benefit Arrangements shall retain or have any further liability with respect to such Liabilities. 
  
 (a) Agreements entered into between the Alberto-Culver Group and Spinco Employees and Former Spinco Employees, except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement. For purposes of clarity, Alberto-Culver shall retain all Liabilities related to the Key Executive Deferred Compensation Agreement, Severance Agreement and Termination Agreement, each between Alberto-Culver and
the person set forth on Schedule A. No Spinco Employee or Former Spinco Employee is a party to a Key Executive Deferred Compensation Agreement with Alberto-Culver. 
  
 (b) Agreements entered into between the Alberto-Culver Group and independent contractors providing services to the extent
they are related to the Spinco Business.

confidentiality and non-compete agreements between the Alberto-Culver Group and Spinco Employees, Former Spinco Employees and independent contractors; provided, however, that Alberto-Culver and Spinco shall both enjoy the rights and benefits under
such agreements, with respect to such party’s and its Affiliates’ business operations. 
  
 (d) All wages, salary, ordinary compensation and commissions payable to Spinco Employees or Former Spinco Employees after the Distribution Time, whether
earned before or after the Distribution Time; provided that no such amounts were earned for services as an employee of a member of the Alberto-Culver Group. For purposes of clarity, Alberto-Culver shall retain, and be solely responsible for, all
wages, salary, ordinary compensation and commissions payable to Spinco Employees or Former Spinco Employees to the extent such amounts were earned for services as an employee of a member of the Alberto-Culver Group. 
  

 6 

 (e) All bonus and incentive compensation payment obligations, if any, payable after the Distribution Time
to Spinco Employees; provided, however, that Spinco’s payment obligations with respect to the Alberto-Culver 1994 Shareholder Value Incentive Plan and the Alberto-Culver Management Incentive Plan are set forth exclusively in Section 4.03(a),
and not pursuant to this Section 4.02(e). 
  
 (f) All Liabilities
and obligations whatsoever of the Spinco Business with respect to claims made by or with respect to Spinco Employees or Former Spinco Employees relating to Non-ERISA Benefit Arrangements with respect to the Spinco Business and not specifically
assumed or retained by Alberto-Culver pursuant to this Agreement. The term “Liabilities” under this Section 4.02(f) expressly excludes any payment of any kind, including insurance coverage, indemnification rights and common law
rights, for the acts or omissions of or by any Spinco officer, director, employee or agent, which are covered by the Separation Agreement. 
  
 The parties agree to negotiate in good faith with applicable third parties to have the foregoing obligations assumed by Spinco on terms no less favorable to Spinco than
those that apply to Alberto-Culver. Subject to the foregoing, if any of the foregoing obligations cannot be assumed by Spinco for a reason beyond the control of the parties hereto, including the refusal of any such third party to agree to such an
assumption, then Spinco shall reimburse the Alberto-Culver Group for any such obligation paid by the Alberto-Culver Group, in accordance with Section 7.03, as though it had been assumed and paid by Spinco. 
  
 4.03 Certain Incentive Plans; Nonqualified Deferred Compensation.

  
 (a) From and after the Distribution Time, Spinco shall
assume and thereafter be solely responsible for all bonus and incentive compensation payment obligations earned by Spinco Employees as of the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) under the Alberto-Culver 1994 Shareholder Value
Incentive Plan and the Alberto-Culver Management Incentive Plan. Each such plan shall be treated as though a Change in Control, as defined in such plan, occurred as of the Effective Time with respect to all Spinco Employees. Not later than 28 days
after the Effective Time, Alberto-Culver shall (i) determine all bonus and incentive payment obligations earned by Spinco Employees under the 1994 Shareholder Value Incentive Plan and the Alberto-Culver Management Incentive Plan as of the Effective
Time, if any, and (ii) transfer to Spinco a cash payment equal to 62% of such amounts, which represents the after-tax cost to Spinco of paying such amounts. 
  
 (b) From and after the Distribution Time, Spinco shall assume and thereafter be solely responsible for all deferred compensation payment obligations
credited to the accounts of all Spinco Employees and Former Spinco Employees as of the Effective Time under the Alberto-Culver Executive Deferred Compensation Plan. Such plan shall be treated as though a Change in Control, as defined in such plan,
occurred as of the Effective Time with respect to all Spinco Employees and Former Spinco Employees, and, subject to the transfer set forth in the next sentence, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, or at such other time as

  

 7 

 shall be required to comply with section 409A of the Code, Spinco shall pay to each such Spinco Employee and Former
Spinco Employee the amount credited to his or her account under such plan as of the Effective Time. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Alberto-Culver shall (i) determine all deferred compensation payment obligations credited
to the accounts of all Spinco Employees and Former Spinco Employees under the Alberto-Culver Executive Deferred Compensation Plan as though a Change in Control occurred as of the Effective Time, and (ii) transfer to Spinco a cash payment equal to
62% of such amounts, which represents the after-tax cost to Spinco of paying such amounts. 
  
 4.04 Equity Compensation Plans. 
  
 (a) Options Held by Spinco Employees. Each Alberto-Culver Option held by a Spinco Employee that is outstanding as of the Distribution Time shall be converted into a Spinco Option, effective immediately
after the Distribution Time. 
  
 (i) The number
of shares of Spinco Common Stock subject to a Spinco Option and the exercise price per share of Spinco Common Stock subject to a Spinco Option shall be determined, as of the Distribution Time, in accordance with the following conversion formula (to
be interpreted and applied in such a way as to minimize any adverse consequences of any possible application of FAS 123R and Section 409A of the Code to such conversions): 
  
 (A) The Intrinsic Value of each Alberto-Culver Option shall be maintained under each corresponding Spinco
Option by setting the option exercise price of the Spinco Option and/or the number of shares subject to such Spinco Option to ensure that the aggregate difference between the Spinco Post-Distribution Stock Price and the exercise price of the Spinco
Option equals such Intrinsic Value. 
  
 (B) The
ratio of the per share option exercise price of the Spinco Option to the Spinco Post-Distribution Stock Price shall be fixed in such a way that does not increase the ratio of the per share exercise price of the related Alberto-Culver Option to the
Alberto-Culver Pre-Distribution Stock Price. 
  
 (ii) Each Spinco Option shall have the same terms and conditions as the corresponding Alberto-Culver Option to which it relates (except as adjusted as provided herein) and shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as the
applicable Alberto-Culver Option Plan; provided, however, that for purposes of the Spinco Options, unless the context otherwise requires, all references to “Alberto-Culver” therein shall, after the Distribution Time, be
deemed to be to “Spinco” and all references to Alberto-Culver Common Stock shall be deemed to be to Spinco Common Stock. Alberto-Culver and Spinco shall each take such actions as may be necessary to effectuate the provisions of this
Section. 
  
 Spinco Options shall become fully vested and exercisable and shall be
converted into options to purchase shares of Regis Common Stock (as defined in the Merger Agreement) pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement.  
  

 8 

 (b) Restricted Stock. The Alberto-Culver Board of Directors shall take all actions reasonably
necessary to ensure that, not later than the Distribution Time, the Spinco Employees shall be fully vested in any shares of Restricted Stock that they hold. At the Distribution Time, all shares of Alberto-Culver Restricted Stock shall be treated the
same as all other outstanding shares of Alberto-Culver Common Stock in the Distribution, in accordance with the provisions of the Separation Agreement. 
  
 4.05 Vacation and Leaves of Absence Programs. From and after the Distribution Time, Spinco shall recognize and assume all Liabilities for
vacation, holiday, flex days and personal days off to the extent accrued by Spinco Employees before the Distribution Time in accordance with the written policies in effect with regard to such Liabilities during the period over which they were
accrued. Spinco shall also honor the written terms of any approved leaves of absence with an expected duration of not more than 12 months (other than for military or other leave protected by Applicable Law, which shall not be subject to such
limitation) after the Distribution Time to the extent such leaves are in effect with regard to Spinco Employees at the Distribution Time. 
  
 ARTICLE V 
 QUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLANS

  
 5.01 Defined Contribution Plans. 

 
 (a) Spinco 401(k) Plan. From and after the Distribution Time,
Spinco shall retain, and be solely responsible for, all existing and future employer Liabilities related to the Sally Beauty Company, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Spinco 401(k) Plan”) and the administration thereof, and
Alberto-Culver shall not assume or retain any such Liabilities. 
  
 (b) Profit Sharing Plan. 
  
 (i) Establishment of Spinco Profit Sharing Plan. As soon as administratively practicable after the Distribution Time, Spinco Employees shall be eligible to participate in either (A) a defined contribution plan and trust adopted,
established and maintained by Spinco and qualified under section 401(a) and section 501(a) of the Code or (B) a qualified profit sharing plan sponsored by a member of the Regis Group (the “Spinco Profit Sharing Plan”). Subject to
the asset transfers described in Section 5.01(b)(ii), Spinco shall assume and thereafter be solely responsible for all then existing or future employer Liabilities on behalf of Spinco Employees and Former Spinco Employees related to the
Spinco Profit Sharing Plan and the administration thereof and Alberto-Culver shall not assume or retain any such Liabilities. As soon as practicable after the adoption or designation of the Spinco Profit Sharing Plan, Spinco shall, to the extent
applicable, submit an application to the IRS for a determination regarding the qualification of the Spinco Profit Sharing Plan and shall take any actions not inconsistent with Spinco’s other general commitments contained in this Agreement and
make any amendments necessary to receive a favorable determination letter. 
  
 (ii) Transfer of Account Balances. As soon as administratively practicable, and in no event later than 180 days, after the Distribution Time, Alberto-Culver 
  

 9 

 and Spinco shall cooperate to cause the Alberto-Culver Profit Sharing Plan to transfer to the Spinco
Profit Sharing Plan assets having a value as of the applicable valuation date that are equal to the value of the account balances of, and Liabilities with respect to, all Spinco Employees and Former Spinco Employees with an account balance, whether
or not vested, under the Alberto-Culver Profit Sharing Plan as of such valuation date. Such transferred assets shall consist of cash, Alberto-Culver Common Stock, Regis Common Stock (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and promissory notes for
outstanding participant loans, and shall be in accordance with section 414(l) of the Code. Liabilities under any qualified domestic relations orders (as defined in section 414(p) of the Code) received with respect to any assets transferred to the
Spinco Profit Sharing Plan shall be transferred to Spinco at the time such assets are transferred. 
  
 (iii) Past Service Credit and Vesting. With respect to all Spinco Employees and without duplication of benefits, the Spinco Profit
Sharing Plan shall (i) recognize, to the extent applicable, all service, compensation and other determinations that, at the Distribution Time, were recognized under the Alberto-Culver Profit Sharing Plan for purposes of determining eligibility,
participation, vesting, and calculation of benefits for Spinco Employees, and (ii) maintain the vesting schedule applicable under the Alberto-Culver Profit Sharing Plan for accounts transferred from the Alberto-Culver Profit Sharing Plan.

  
 (iv) Elections and Designations. To
the extent applicable, all participant elections and beneficiary designations made by Spinco Employees or Former Spinco Employees under the Alberto-Culver Profit Sharing Plan shall be transferred to, and be in full force and effect under, the Spinco
Profit Sharing Plan until such participant elections and beneficiary designations are replaced or revoked by the Spinco Employee or Former Spinco Employee who made the election or designation. 
  
 (c) Alberto-Culver Stock Funds. Spinco shall, subject to the fiduciary
and other requirements of ERISA, and any other Applicable Laws, take such actions as are reasonably necessary to ensure that any liquidation of the shares of Alberto-Culver Common Stock held in the Spinco 401(k) Plan and Spinco Profit Sharing Plan
is orderly and periodic. During the 24-month period beginning on the Distribution Date (or such shorter period as Spinco reasonably determines may be required under Applicable Laws), Spinco may prohibit future purchases of Alberto-Culver Common
Stock under the Spinco 401(k) Plan and Spinco Profit Sharing Plan but shall not require that such funds of Alberto-Culver Common Stock be liquidated. 
  
 5.02 Further Cooperation. Alberto-Culver and Spinco will cooperate in good faith in the filing of documents required by the transfer of
assets and liabilities described in this Agreement to generally effect the purposes of this Agreement and to resolve any discrepancies or obtain any missing data for purposes of determining benefit eligibility, participation, vesting and calculation
of benefits with respect to any Spinco Employees or Former Spinco Employees.

 ARTICLE VI 
 FOREIGN PLANS 
  
 At the
Distribution Time, or such later date as may be required by Applicable Laws, each Benefit Plan maintained by a member of the Spinco Group that covers only Spinco Employees employed outside the U.S. (the “Spinco Foreign Plans”) shall
be the sole responsibility of the Spinco Group and no member of the Alberto-Culver Group shall have any Liability with respect to such Spinco Foreign Plan. For purposes of this Article VI, “employed outside the U.S.” means
compensated under a payroll which is administered outside the 50 United States and the District of Columbia. For purposes of clarity, no Spinco Employee or Former Spinco Employee employed outside the U.S. is covered by a Benefit Plan maintained,
sponsored or contributed to by Alberto-Culver or a member of the Alberto-Culver Group. 
  
 ARTICLE VII 
 GENERAL PROVISIONS

including, without limitation, ERISA, occupational safety and health, employment standards, union grievances, wrongful dismissal, discrimination or human rights and unemployment compensation claims, asserted at any time against Alberto-Culver or
Spinco by any Spinco Employee, Former Spinco Employee or any other person arising out of or relating to employment with the Spinco Business or Spinco. Any Liabilities arising from such actions shall be deemed Spinco Liabilities under the Separation
Agreement. Alberto-Culver reserves the right to participate, at its own expense, in the investigation, defense or settlement of any matter to the extent it deems reasonably necessary. 
  
 7.03 Reimbursement and Indemnification. The parties hereto agree to reimburse each other, within 30 days of
receipt from the other party of appropriate verification, for all Indemnifiable Losses that each may incur on behalf of the other as a result of any of the Benefit Plans or any of the termination or severance obligations set forth in Section
2.02. All Liabilities retained, assumed or indemnified against by Spinco pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed Spinco Liabilities, and all Liabilities retained, assumed or indemnified against by Alberto-Culver pursuant to this Agreement
shall be deemed Alberto-Culver Liabilities, and in each case shall be subject to the indemnification provisions of Article IV of the Separation Agreement. 
  
 7.04 Payment of and Accounting Treatment for Expenses. Except as specifically provided in the Separation
Agreement or as Spinco and Alberto-Culver otherwise mutually agree, all expenses (and the accounting treatment related thereto) through the Distribution Time regarding matters addressed herein shall be handled and administered by Alberto-Culver and
Spinco in accordance with past Alberto-Culver and Spinco, as applicable, accounting and financial practices and procedures pertaining to such matters. 
  

 11 

 7.05 Sharing of Participant Information. Alberto-Culver and Spinco shall share,
Alberto-Culver shall cause each applicable member of the Alberto-Culver Group to share, and Spinco shall cause each applicable member of the Spinco Group to share, with each other and their respective agents and vendors all participant information
necessary for the efficient and accurate administration of each of the Alberto-Culver Benefit Plans and the Spinco Benefit Plans following the Distribution Time. Alberto-Culver and Spinco and their respective authorized agents shall, subject to
Applicable Laws and understandings regarding confidentiality, be given reasonable and timely access to, and may make copies of, all information relating to the subjects of this Agreement in the custody of the other party, to the extent necessary for
such administration. Spinco and Alberto-Culver shall also cooperate to share all such information regarding any issue relating to the compensation of Spinco Employees as may be required in order to satisfy any requirements related to federal, state
and/or local income tax reporting (including, for purposes of preparing a Form W-2 for each such employee) and withholding, all in accordance with the terms of the Tax Allocation Agreement. 
  
 7.06 Audit Rights. Subject to the requirements of Article
VI of the Separation Agreement, for a period of 36 months from and after the Distribution Time, each of Alberto-Culver and Spinco, and their duly authorized representatives, shall have the right to conduct audits at mutually agreed times upon
reasonable prior notice, at their own expense, with respect to all information provided to it or to any record keeper or third party administrator by the other party that is relevant to this Agreement. The auditing party shall have the right to make
copies of any records at its expense, subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth in the Separation Agreement, which are incorporated by reference herein. The party being audited shall provide the auditing party’s representatives with
reasonable access during normal business hours to its operations, computer systems and paper and electronic files, and provide work space to its representatives. After any audit is completed, the party being audited shall have the right to review a
draft of the audit findings and to comment on those findings in writing within fifteen Business Days after receiving such draft. 
  
 The auditing party’s audit rights under this Section 7.06 shall include the right to audit, or participate in an audit facilitated by the party being audited,
of any Subsidiaries and Affiliates of the party being audited and of any benefit providers and third parties with whom the party being audited has a relationship, or agents of such party, to the extent any such persons are affected by or addressed
in this Agreement (collectively, the “Non-parties”). The party being audited shall, upon written request from the auditing party, provide an individual (at the auditing party’s expense) to supervise any audit of any such
benefit provider or third party. The auditing party shall be responsible for supplying, at its expense, additional personnel sufficient to complete the audit in a reasonably timely manner. 
  
 7.07 Effect If Distribution Does Not Occur. If the Distribution
does not occur, then all actions and events that are, under this Agreement, to be taken or occur effective as of the Distribution Date, the Distribution Time, or otherwise in connection with the Distribution, shall not be taken or occur except to
the extent otherwise specifically agreed in writing by Spinco and Alberto-Culver. 
  
 7.08 Relationship of Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed by the parties or any third party as creating the relationship of principal and agent, 
  

 12 

 partnership or joint venture between the parties, it being understood and agreed that no provision contained herein, and
no act of the parties, shall be deemed to create any relationship between the parties other than the relationship set forth herein.  
  
 7.09 No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer on any Spinco Employee any right to continued
employment with Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group, except as expressly provided in any individual employment agreements to which Spinco is a party, under which any Spinco Employee has any such rights. 
  
 7.10 Cooperation. Alberto-Culver and Spinco shall each
cooperate in good faith, including by making personnel available to the other at mutually agreed times, as necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. 
  
 7.11 No Duplication of Benefits. It is the intention of the parties that nothing in this Agreement shall allow
for any Spinco Employee to receive duplicative benefits. Accordingly, Alberto-Culver and Spinco shall agree on methods and procedures to prevent Spinco Employees from receiving duplicative benefits.

 8.05 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of Alberto-Culver and Spinco irrevocably agrees that any
legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, any provision hereof, the breach, performance, validity or invalidity hereof or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect hereof
brought by another party hereto or its successors or permitted assigns may be brought and determined in any federal or state court located in the State of Delaware, and each of Alberto-Culver and Spinco hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any
such action or proceeding for itself and in respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Each of Alberto-Culver and Spinco hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way
of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, any provision hereof or the breach, performance, enforcement, validity or invalidity hereof, (a)
any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason other than the failure to lawfully serve process, (b) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from
any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws,
that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper and (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such
courts. 
  
 8.06 Amendments. This Agreement cannot
be amended except by a written agreement executed by Alberto-Culver and Spinco; provided, that unless the Merger Agreement shall have been terminated, (a) any such amendment that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect (after giving effect
to the Merger) Regis or its shareholders (it being understood and agreed that any fees and expenses incurred by Regis or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the review of any such proposed amendment shall not be deemed to adversely affect
Regis or its shareholders) executed prior to the Distribution Time shall be subject to the prior written consent of Regis and (b) the parties hereto shall notify Regis and its counsel in writing, in accordance with Section 10.2 of the Merger
Agreement, at least five Business Days prior to the making of any such amendment prior to the Distribution Time. 
  
 8.07 Assignment. Neither party to this Agreement will (or permit any of its Subsidiaries to) convey, assign or otherwise transfer any of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, except as contemplated in Section 2.10 of the Merger Agreement or with the prior written consent of the other party in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, that unless the
Merger Agreement shall have been terminated, any such assignment prior to the Distribution Time shall be subject to the prior written consent of Regis. Any conveyance, assignment or transfer requiring the prior written consent of the other party
pursuant to this Section 8.07 that is made without such consent will be void ab initio. No assignment of this Agreement will relieve the assigning party of its obligations hereunder. For purposes of clarity, Spinco may perform any
responsibility or exercise any right under this Agreement by causing such responsibility or right to be undertaken or exercised, without limitation, by a Spinco Subsidiary; provided, however, that Spinco shall be fully responsible to Alberto-Culver
for ensuring compliance by Spinco and the Spinco Group with the applicable terms of this Agreement. 
  

 15 

 8.08 Captions; Currency. The article, section and paragraph captions herein are for
convenience of reference only, do not constitute part of this Agreement and will not be deemed to limit or otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to numbered articles or sections are to
articles and sections of this Agreement and all references herein to schedules are to schedules to this Agreement. Unless otherwise specified, all references contained in this Agreement, in any schedule referred to herein or in any instrument or
document delivered pursuant hereto to dollars or “$” shall mean United States Dollars. 
  
 8.09 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof, or the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, will remain in
full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby. If the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is affected in any manner adverse to any party as a result thereof, the parties will
negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon a suitable and equitable substitute provision to effect the original intent of the parties, and, if the parties are unable to agree upon a suitable and equitable substitute provision to effect the
original intent of the parties, prior to the Distribution Time, the party so materially and adversely affected may terminate this Agreement. 
  
 8.10 Parties in Interest. This Agreement is binding upon and is for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
permitted assigns. This Agreement is not made for the benefit of any Person not a party hereto, and no Person other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and permitted assigns will acquire or have any benefit, right, remedy or claim
under or by reason of this Agreement. 
  
 8.11
Schedules. All schedules attached hereto are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein. Capitalized terms used in the schedules hereto but not otherwise defined therein will have the
respective meanings assigned to such terms in this Agreement. 
  
 8.12 Waivers; Remedies. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to waive the performance by the other party of any of its covenants hereunder shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of
such party; provided, that unless the Merger Agreement shall have been terminated, (a) any such waiver that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect (after giving effect to the Merger) Regis or its shareholders (it being understood and
agreed that any fees and expenses incurred by Regis or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the review of any such proposed waiver shall not be deemed to adversely affect Regis or its shareholders) executed prior to the Distribution Time shall
be subject to the prior written consent of Regis and (b) the parties hereto shall notify Regis and its counsel in writing, in accordance with Section 10.2 of the Merger Agreement, at least five Business Days prior to the making of any such
waiver prior to the Distribution Time. No failure or delay on the part of either Alberto-Culver or Spinco in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder will operate as a waiver 
  

 16 

 thereof, nor will any waiver on the part of either Alberto-Culver or Spinco of any right, power or privilege hereunder
operate as a waiver of any other right, power or privilege hereunder, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege hereunder. 
  
 8.13 Further Assurances.
From time to time after the Distribution Time, as and when requested by either party hereto, the other party shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken,
all such actions as the requesting party may reasonably request to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
  
 8.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each such counterpart being deemed to be an original instrument,
and all such counterparts will together constitute the same agreement. 
  
 8.15 Performance. Alberto-Culver will cause to be performed and hereby guarantees the performance of all actions, agreements and obligations set forth herein to be performed by any Alberto-Culver Subsidiary. Spinco will cause
to be performed and hereby guarantees the performance of all actions, agreements and obligations set forth herein to be performed by any Spinco Subsidiary.

regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. For the purposes of this Agreement, (a) words in the singular shall be held to include the plural and vice versa and words of one gender shall be held to include the other
gender as the context requires, (b) the terms “hereof”, “herein”, and “herewith” and words of similar import shall, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular
provision of this Agreement and (c) the word “including” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall mean “including, without limitation”.
