Each KKR Director and each Coty Director shall be entitled to cast such whole number of votes equal to the quotient of (i) the number of votes that, assuming all seats of the Bidco Board or committee thereof are filled, would give the KKR Directors and the Coty Directors, respectively, a total number of votes that is proportionate to their respective appointing Shareholder Group’s Equity Percentage (calculated by reference only to the KKR Shareholder Group and the Coty Shareholder Group and excluding from the numerator and the denominator any Securities held by or on behalf of any other Person), divided by (ii) the number of KKR Directors or Coty Directors, as applicable, present at any meeting of the Bidco Board or committee thereof; provided that (x) in no event shall each KKR Director have a number of votes less than the whole number of votes that, assuming all seats of the Bidco Board or committee thereof are filled, would give the KKR Directors a majority of the total number of the votes of the Bidco Board or committee thereof, divided by the number of KKR Directors present at any meeting of the Bidco Board or committee thereof, and (y) in the event the KKR Directors or the Coty Directors, as the case may be, present at the meeting, cast different votes, the KKR Shareholder Group’s Equity Percentage or the Coty Shareholder Group’s Equity Percentage shall for these purposes be deemed to be split proportionally amongst the KKR Directors or the Coty Directors, respectively, present at such Board or committee meeting;

(k) the adoption of, or any material amendments to, the Strategic Plan or the Annual Budget shall be approved by simple majority of the votes the Directors of the Bidco Board, provided that, for so long as the Coty Shareholder Group holds an Equity Percentage of at least 15%, the Group shall consult with Coty in good faith (through the Bidco Board approval process in accordance with Clause 3.5(f)), prior to the adoption of, or making any material amendments to, such Strategic Plan or Annual Budget; and

(l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary:

(i)

any Board deliberations and decisions relating to agreements or arrangements between (A) any member of the Group, on the one hand, and (B) Coty or any of its Affiliates, on the other, shall exclude the Coty Directors for that part of the Board meeting (and all such Coty Directors shall not receive information in relation to such matter, agreement or arrangement nor have voting rights or rights of approval, veto or consent or similar rights over any such decisions) and any such decisions will not be Reserved Matters, provided that (y) where the Board (in its sole discretion and without such Coty Directors participating) decides that such Coty Directors may participate in such part of the meeting notwithstanding such conflicts of interests, such Coty Directors shall continue to be permitted to participate in discussions in such part of the meeting of the Board and to vote in respect of such decisions; and (z) a KKR Director or a Coty Director (as the case may be) shall not be considered to have a conflict of interest in any matter simply by virtue of their engagement by Rainbow Capital, Coty or any of their Affiliates; and

(ii)

Rainbow Capital and Coty agree that Rainbow Capital shall at all times, at its sole discretion, be entitled to designate the appointment or replacement of any of the Purchaser Committee Representatives on the Separation Committee or the TSA Steering Committee (and none of the Coty Shareholder Group nor any of the Coty Directors shall have any voting rights or rights of approval, veto or consent or similar rights over any such decisions) and any such decisions will not be Board Referral Matters or Reserved Matters.

The committee members shall have the right to cast such number of votes as prescribed in and in accordance with Clause 3.5(j) at any such committee meeting.

The Shareholders undertake to vote in favour of any appointment or removal of the Chief Executive Officer proposed by Rainbow Capital pursuant to this Clause 3.10(a).

(b) The initial chief financial officer of the Group (the “Chief Financial Officer”) shall be mutually agreed upon by the Shareholders.

ARTICLE IV

PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHTS ON ISSUANCES OF NEW SECURITIES

4.1 New Issuances.

(a) Subject to the relevant Reserved Matter and any Law or regulation, if any member of the Group proposes to issue any New Securities to, or enter into any contracts, commitments, agreements, understandings or arrangements of any kind relating to the issuance of any New Securities with, any Shareholder (other than any other member of the Group), Topco shall deliver to each Shareholder a written notice of such proposed issuance at least 15 Business Days prior to the date of the proposed issuance (the period from the effectiveness of such notice pursuant to Clause 10.3 until the date of such proposed issuance, the “Subscription Period”). Such written notice shall set out the relevant entitlement of each Shareholder for each class of New Securities, the proposed subscription price per security for each class of New Securities (as determined in accordance with Clause 4.3 (the “Subscription Price”)) and the aggregate Subscription Price for each such entitlement.

(b) Each Shareholder (a “Participating Shareholder”) shall have the option, exercisable at any time during the first 10 Business Days of the Subscription Period, by delivering written notice to Topco and on the same terms as those of the proposed issuance of such New Securities to each other Person, to subscribe for (or to nominate any Person that would be eligible to be its Permitted Transferee to subscribe on its behalf for, subject to such nominee adhering to the terms of this Agreement) any number of such New Securities up to such Participating Shareholder’s Pro Rata Portion of any such New Securities (rounded to the nearest unit number) (“Subscription Right”). If a Shareholder fails to deliver a notice referred to in this Clause 4.1(b) for the offered New Securities within the 10 Business Day period referred to in this Clause 4.1(b), any rights which such Shareholder may have had to subscribe for any of such offered New Securities shall be extinguished.

(c) In the event that any Participating Shareholder elects to purchase less than the maximum number of New Securities for which it may subscribe pursuant to Clause 4.1(b), Topco shall deliver to each other Participating Shareholder a written notice thereof not later than the 10th Business Day of the Subscription Period, including the number of New Securities which were subject to the Subscription Right and were not elected to be subscribed for by the declining Shareholder and such Participating Shareholders may subscribe for such New Securities before the expiration of the Subscription Period.

(d) If less than all of the offered New Securities are subscribed for during the Subscription Period, then on the expiry of the Subscription Period the relevant member of the Group shall have the option to: (i) complete a portion of the offering within 60 Business Days from the date of the notice referred to in Clause 4.1(a) for such number of offered New Securities subscribed for by the Participating Shareholders only; (ii) complete the offering within 60 Business Days from the date of the notice referred to in Clause 4.1(a) for the total number of offered New Securities, partly with the Participating Shareholders in the amounts subscribed for by the Participating Shareholders and the remainder with one or more Persons other than the Participating Shareholders or are approved by the Bidco Board upon the same terms and conditions as the terms set out in the notice referred to in Clause 4.1(a), subject to such Persons having become a party to this Agreement by executing a Deed of Adherence; or (iii) not to complete the offering and give notice of cancellation of the offering to the Shareholders.

4.2 Urgent Funding Requirements.

(a) If the Bidco Board determines that, in light of any urgency resulting from a requirement to (i) fund an imminent M&A Transaction which has received the requisite Board approval; or (ii) cure an actual or potential event of default in respect of the debt finance arrangements of the Group (each, an “Urgent Liquidity Requirement”), in its reasonable opinion it is necessary to issue New Securities within shorter time periods than those set forth in Clause 4.1, Topco may by notice to the other Shareholders exclude the pre-emptive rights of the Shareholders under Clause 4.1 other than Rainbow Capital and the relevant member of the Group shall issue to Rainbow Capital the number of Securities determined by Rainbow Capital at a price determined in accordance with Clause 4.3.

(b) In the event of a new issuance pursuant to Clause 4.2(a), the Bidco Board shall determine, to the extent reasonable, having regard to tax consequences, either that (i) Rainbow Capital shall offer to Transfer (and Rainbow Capital agrees that it shall offer to Transfer in accordance with the Bidco Board’s determination hereunder), or (ii) the Bidco Board shall procure that the Group offers to issue (the “Transfer/Issuance Offer”), to each Shareholder that is excluded from exercising its pre-emptive rights in respect of such issuance (each, an “Excluded Shareholder”), within 15 Business Days from the date of such issuance, a number of New Securities equal to, and each Excluded Shareholder shall be entitled to acquire, with full title guarantee and free from all Encumbrances (other than those set out or created pursuant to this Agreement), from Rainbow Capital, or subscribe from Topco (as the case may be), up to a number of New Securities such Shareholder would have otherwise been entitled to subscribe for under Clause 4.1, on the same commercial terms as subscribed for by Rainbow Capital and at a price equal to the price as subscribed for by Rainbow Capital. An Excluded Shareholder may accept a Transfer/Issuance Offer during the 15 Business Days following receipt of the Transfer/Issuance Offer by delivering written notice to Rainbow Capital and Topco.

4.3 Determination of Subscription Price of New Securities. The Subscription Price for any issuance of New Securities under Clause 4.1 or Clause 4.2 shall be equal to the Fair Market Value per security of such class of New Securities as determined in good faith by the Bidco Board, based on such valuation methodologies and analyses as the Bidco Board deems appropriate (provided that no Security shall be issued at a price below its nominal value); provided that, in the event that the Bidco Board has determined or determines that the relevant issuance of New Securities is necessary to (i) prevent a breach by a member of the Group under any financing agreement to which it is a party, or (ii) prevent any member of the Group from becoming insolvent under Law, the Subscription Price for such issuance shall be determined by the Bidco Board in its absolute discretion. The price determined by the Bidco Board shall be final.

4.4 Excepted Issuances. The Shareholders agree that the provisions of this Article IV shall not apply to:

(a) the issuance or grant of New Securities (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may include Shares in Topco or any other class of Securities in Topco or any subsidiary and need not be issued to the relevant persons pro rata to the holdings of the Shareholders) pursuant to any Management Equity Incentive Plan;

(b) the issuance or sale of New Securities other than for cash to a seller or its designee in connection with and as consideration for a member of the Group’s direct or indirect acquisition by merger or other business combination or otherwise of any Person, business or assets;

(c) the issuance or sale of New Securities to financial institutions, commercial lenders or other debt providers or their designees, in connection with commercial loans or other bona fide arms-length debt financing by such financial institutions, commercial lenders or other debt providers, in each case, provided that the Bidco Board reasonably and in good faith believes that it is commercially desirable to sell or issue such New Securities to such Person in order to facilitate such debt financing;

(d) the issuance or sale of New Securities pursuant to any bona fide arms-length joint venture, partnership or other strategic transaction;

(e) the issuance of New Securities pursuant to the terms of options or convertible or exchangeable securities or other similar securities which have been issued, sold or granted in compliance with this Article IV;

(f) the issuance of New Securities pursuant to an IPO or other Public Offering in accordance with Article VI;

(g) the issuance of New Securities in connection with any pro rata stock split or pro rata stock dividend or any Reorganisation Transaction; and

(h) the issuance of New Securities in connection with funding the required monies for the redemption or repurchase of the Subject Securities by Topco pursuant to Clause 5.6(h),

provided that for each of sub-clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (f) above (inclusive), no New Securities are issued to a Shareholder or any of its Affiliates.

4.5 Further Assurance in respect of issuance of New Securities. Subject to the other provisions of this Article IV, each Party shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary in order to expeditiously issue New Securities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including: executing, acknowledging and delivering consents (including, without limitation, procuring that any Director appointed to a Board by such Party consents to such issuance of New Securities where required by the Articles of Association), assignments, waivers and other documents or instruments; furnishing information and copies of documents; filing applications, reports, returns, filings and other documents or instruments with governmental authorities, voting its Securities in favour of any such issuance of New Securities (including shareholders’ resolutions) or granting proxies to vote in favour or executing consents to such issuance of New Securities; and otherwise cooperating with the relevant parties.

For the avoidance of doubt, Clause 5.7 shall not apply to any Transfer made in accordance with this Clause 5.4.

5.5 Right of First Offer.

(a) Following the Coty Holding Period, if Coty (“ROFO Transferor”) proposes to Transfer any Securities (other than to a Permitted Transferee pursuant to Clause 5.3(a)(i), or pursuant to Clauses 5.6, Clause 5.7, Clause 5.8 or Article VI), it shall, prior to making any offer to, or requesting or accepting any offer from, any bona fide third party in respect of such Securities, provide prior written notice (a “Transfer Notice”, which Transfer Notice shall be irrevocable once given) of such intention to Topco and Rainbow Capital (the “ROFO Holder”).

(b) The Transfer Notice shall include (i) the number of Securities proposed to be Transferred by the ROFO Transferor (the “ROFO Securities”), and (ii) a statement notifying the ROFO Holder of its right to make a first offer to purchase such Securities pursuant to this Clause 5.5 (the “ROFO”).

(c) Within 90 days after the date of delivery of the Transfer Notice (the “ROFO Deadline”), the ROFO Holder shall have the right (but not the obligation) to make an offer (a “ROFO Offer”) to purchase all of the ROFO Securities by giving a written notice (the “Offer Notice”) to the ROFO Transferor, which Offer Notice shall set forth: (i) the cash amount of consideration per ROFO Security or the formula by which such cash consideration is determined at which such purchase is proposed to be made (the “Offer Price”); (ii) a confirmation to the ROFO Transferor that it has secured financing on a customary European certain funds basis; and (iii) all other material terms and conditions of the ROFO Offer. If the ROFO Holder has not furnished an Offer Notice that complies with the above requirements, including the applicable time periods, it shall be deemed to have waived all its rights to purchase such ROFO Securities under such ROFO Offer. The tender by the ROFO Holder of an Offer Notice shall constitute an irrevocable ROFO Offer by the ROFO Holder to purchase from the ROFO Transferor, for cash, the ROFO Securities at the Offer Price.

(d) If the offeree under the Offer Notice constitutes a group of Affiliates of the ROFO Holder, the allocation of the ROFO Securities among them shall be on a pro rata basis among them or such other allocation as such group may determine, and the ROFO Holder shall notify the ROFO Transferor of the allocation among each Person in such group.

(e) If the ROFO Transferor receives an Offer Notice containing a ROFO Offer as to all of the ROFO Securities on or before the ROFO Deadline (which Offer Notice shall be irrevocable once given), the ROFO Transferor shall inform the ROFO Holder by written notice (“Acceptance Notice”) whether or not it accepts the ROFO Offer within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the Offer Notice.

(f) If the ROFO Transferor accepts the ROFO Offer, within a further 30 days after the delivery of an Acceptance Notice (and as extended by such period as is reasonably necessary to obtain any mandatory regulatory, competition or other suspensory clearances):

(i)

the ROFO Holder shall purchase and pay the Offer Price in cash in immediately available funds for the ROFO Securities; and

(ii)

subject to receipt of the relevant consideration, the ROFO Transferor shall Transfer the ROFO Securities to the ROFO Holder.

(g) Where the ROFO Holder waives or is deemed to waive its ROFO in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 5.5 or where the ROFO Transferor rejects or does not deliver an Acceptance Notice in respect of any ROFO Offer delivered by the ROFO Holder, the ROFO Transferor shall have the right for a period of 180 days (commencing on the date of such waiver or deemed waiver, the date of such rejection or the last date for delivery of an Acceptance Notice, whichever is earlier, and as extended by such period as is reasonably necessary to obtain any mandatory regulatory, competition or other suspensory clearances, so long as the successful bidder acts in a commercially reasonable manner to obtain such regulatory clearances), to Transfer the ROFO Securities to any bona fide third party at a price, in cash, which is not less than 105% of the Offer Price and otherwise on such terms and conditions (including as to price and timing of receipt of consideration) no more favourable to that third party, taken as a whole, than those set forth in the Offer Notice. If the ROFO Securities are not Transferred pursuant to the provisions of this Clause 5.5(g) prior to the expiration of the prescribed time period, such ROFO Securities shall become subject once again to the provisions and restrictions of this Agreement.

(h) The receipt of consideration by the ROFO Transferor selling the ROFO Securities in payment for the Transfer of such ROFO Securities pursuant to an accepted ROFO Offer shall be deemed a warranty by such ROFO Transferor that: (i) such ROFO Transferor has full right, title and interest in and to such ROFO Securities; (ii) such ROFO Transferor has all necessary power and authority and has taken all necessary actions to sell such ROFO Securities as contemplated by the ROFO Offer; and (iii) such ROFO Securities are free and clear of any and all liens or Encumbrances at the time of transfer. In furtherance of the above, the ROFO Transferor shall, upon the reasonable request of the ROFO Holder give any other additional customary title and capacity warranties in respect to the ROFO Securities held by it.

5.6 KKR Call Option.

(a) In the event that, at any time, either:

(i)

the JAB Group’s Beneficial Ownership of outstanding Voting Stock of Coty Parent is reduced, such that (x) it represents less than 25% of total voting power of such Voting Stock of Coty Parent (disregarding any part of such reduction that results from one or more issuances of new Voting Stock, other than in connection with a Debt for Equity Swap); and (y) it ceases to be the single largest Beneficial Owner of outstanding Voting Stock of Coty Parent; or

(ii)

any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act), other than the JAB Group, is or becomes the Beneficial Owner of 35% or more of the total voting power of the outstanding Voting Stock of Coty Parent and the JAB Group’s Beneficial Ownership of outstanding Voting Stock of Coty Parent is reduced such that it represents less than 35% of the total voting power of the outstanding Voting Stock of Coty Parent (disregarding any part of such reduction that results from one or more issuances of new Voting Stock, other than in connection with a Debt for Equity Swap) (a “Change of Control”);

(each of sub-clause (i) above and the Change of Control, a “Trigger Event”), then Rainbow Capital (or any Affiliate designated by Rainbow Capital) shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its election to either:

(A) purchase and acquire all of the Securities then held by the Coty Shareholder Group (the “Subject Securities”) (“KKR Call Option”); or

(B) to the extent permitted by Law, require the redemption of all of the Subject Securities by Topco (“Redemption Right”).

(b) Coty shall promptly and without undue delay, and in any event no later than five (5) Business Days after the occurrence of a Trigger Event, deliver to Rainbow Capital a written notice thereof (“Trigger Event Notice”). The KKR Call Option or the Redemption Right may be exercised by Rainbow Capital at any time until the date that is 60 days after the later of (x) its receipt of the Trigger Event Notice and (y) the occurrence of a Trigger Event, by delivering written notice to Coty and Topco (“KKR Exercise Notice”) which shall specify Rainbow Capital’s election of either the KKR Call Option or the Redemption Right (but not both).

(c) If Rainbow Capital validly exercises the KKR Call Option or the Redemption Right, the purchase price per security for each class of Security to be Transferred or redeemed by Topco (as the case may be) shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of such Security on the date upon which the Trigger Event occurred (the “Option/Redemption Price”) determined in accordance with Clause 5.6(d) and Clause 5.6(e).

(d) Unless Rainbow Capital and Coty agree that the Option/Redemption Price shall be determined in accordance with Clause 5.6(e) without first complying with the negotiation and agreement procedure set forth in this Clause 5.6(d)), Rainbow Capital and Coty shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, use good faith efforts to negotiate and agree upon the Option/Redemption Price within 30 days after the delivery of the Option/Redemption Notice, and any such agreement shall be conclusive and binding on them for the purposes of this Clause 5.6.

(e) If:

(i)

Rainbow Capital and Coty agree that the Option/Redemption Price shall be determined in accordance with this Clause 5.6(e) without first complying with the negotiation and agreement procedure set forth in Clause 5.6(d); or

(ii)

Rainbow Capital and Coty fail to reach agreement in respect of the Option/Redemption Price within the 30-day period prescribed in Clause 5.6(d),

then the determination of the Option/Redemption Price shall be referred by either Party to an independent reputable firm of accountants of international standing to be agreed by Rainbow Capital and Coty in writing or, failing such agreement within ten (10) Business Days, to be nominated on the application of either of them by or on behalf of, the President for the time being of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (“Expert”).

(f) The following provisions shall apply in relation to the Expert:

(i)

within ten (10) Business Days of the Expert’s appointment, Rainbow Capital and Coty shall each prepare a written proposal for the Fair Market Value per Security for each class of Subject Securities (together with their reasons therefor and any relevant supporting documents) which shall be submitted to the Expert and the Expert will then share these submissions with the other Party once both submissions have been received;

(ii)

each of Rainbow Capital and Coty shall be entitled to comment in writing once only on the other’s submission by written notice to the Expert no later than ten (10) Business Days after receiving that submission, following which neither Party shall be entitled to make further statements or submissions other than in response to a request from the Expert;

(iii)

in making its decision in relation to the dispute, the Expert shall be directed to apply such terms of reference as it deems appropriate (acting reasonably) and be limited to selecting only one of the two proposals submitted by either Rainbow Capital or Coty and determine which proposal it believes to be Option/Redemption Price for each class of Subject Securities;

(iv)

the Expert shall be requested to notify Rainbow Capital and Coty of its decision within thirty (30) Business Days of its appointment pursuant to Clause 5.6(e), or such longer reasonable period as it may determine;

(v)

the Expert shall act as an expert (and not as an arbitrator) in making its determination;

(vi)

the Expert’s determination shall be final and binding on the Parties in the absence of manifest error or fraud and the Option/Redemption Price in the proposal selected by the Expert shall constitute the Option/Redemption Price for the purposes of this Agreement; and

(vii)

each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection this Clause 5.6 and the costs and expenses of the Expert shall be borne by the Party whose proposal is not chosen.

(g) If the Subject Securities are to be Transferred pursuant to Rainbow Capital’s exercise of the KKR Call Option, within 15 Business Days of the Expert’s determination (or as extended by such period as is reasonably necessary to obtain any mandatory regulatory, competition or other suspensory clearances), Rainbow Capital (or the Affiliates designated by Rainbow Capital) shall purchase the Subject Securities and pay the Option/Redemption Price per Subject Security in cash in immediately available funds and Coty shall (and shall procure that any of its Permitted Transferees shall) Transfer the Subject Securities to Rainbow Capital (or its designated Affiliates).

(h) Subject to compliance with the Jersey Companies Law, if the Subject Securities are to be redeemed by Topco pursuant to Rainbow Capital’s exercise of the Redemption Right, on the date of redemption, Topco shall be entitled and bound to redeem all the Subject Securities for a sum equal to the Option/Redemption Price per Subject Security in cash in immediately available funds, against delivery to Topco of the certificate(s) for such Subject Securities (or an indemnity in a form reasonably satisfactory to Topco in respect of any missing certificate).

(i) The receipt of consideration by Coty in payment for the Transfer or redemption of such Subject Securities shall be deemed a warranty by Coty (and its Permitted Transferees) that: (i) such transferor has full right, title and interest in and to such Subject Securities; (ii) such transferor has all necessary power and authority and has taken all necessary actions to sell such Subject Securities as contemplated by the KKR Exercise Notice; and (iii) such Subject Securities are free and clear of any and all liens or Encumbrances at the time of Transfer. In furtherance of the above, Coty (and its Permitted Transferees) shall, enter into a security purchase agreement containing customary title and capacity warranties in respect to the Subject Securities held by them and such other provisions as are customarily given by an institutional shareholder for this type of transaction.

(j) Coty covenants that it shall provide (and shall procure that the Coty Shareholder Group provides) Rainbow Capital and the Group with such cooperation and assistance as may be reasonably required in obtaining third party debt financing in connection with the valid exercise of the KKR Call Option or to fund the redemption monies with respect to the valid exercise of the Redemption Right on terms and conditions to be determined by Rainbow Capital.

5.7 Tag-Along Right.

(a) Other than pursuant to (i) a Transfer, in respect of which a Drag-Along Notice has been served pursuant to Clause 5.8(d), (ii) a Permitted Transfer or a Transfer pursuant to a Permitted Pledge (including in connection with an exercise of remedies in respect thereof) under Clause 5.3, or (iii) a Transfer to a Syndicatee in accordance with Clause 5.4, if, following the KKR Holding Period but prior to an IPO, the KKR Shareholder Group and any Syndicatees with whom it is acting in concert (the “Selling Shareholders”) proposes to Transfer any Securities (a “Proposed Sale”), then each Shareholder Group shall be entitled to participate in such Proposed Sale up to the Pro Rata Portion of the Securities held by that Shareholder’s Shareholder Group at the same time and on the same economic terms and conditions (including as to price) as the Selling Shareholders under such Proposed Sale (the “Tag-Along Right”).

(b) In the event of a Proposed Sale which triggers the Tag-Along Right, the Selling Shareholders shall furnish to each other Shareholder a written notice of such Proposed Sale pursuant to the Tag-Along Right (the “Tag-Along Notice”) no later than 20 Business Days prior to the anticipated closing date of such Proposed Sale and such written notice may be served prior to definitive documentation being entered into in respect of the Proposed Sale. The relevant Tag-Along Notice will include:

(i)

(A) the number of Securities proposed to be Transferred by the Selling Shareholders, (B) the proposed price per Security (which shall be calculated as if the Proposed Sale has occurred by way of a sale of all Securities on such date and shall be the same price per Security as the Selling Shareholders are receiving) and form of consideration to be received by the Selling Shareholders per Security (as applicable) (and if such consideration consists in part or in whole of assets other than cash, a good faith estimate of the fair market value of such non-cash consideration and relevant information relating to such non-cash consideration); (C) to the extent known, the identity of the Proposed Transferee(s); (D) to the extent known, the expected closing date of the proposed Transfer; and (E) to the extent known, a summary of any other material terms and conditions of the Proposed Sale; and

(ii)

an invitation to each Shareholder to make an offer in respect of the Tag-Along Right (any such Shareholder who elects to make such an offer pursuant to the relevant Tag-Along Notice being a “Tagging Shareholder” and, together with the Selling Shareholders, the “Tag-Along Sellers”) to include in the Proposed Sale the number of Securities held directly or indirectly by such Tagging Shareholder determined as set out in Clause 5.7(c) below.

(c) Each Tagging Shareholder wishing to exercise the Tag-Along Right must, within 10 Business Days following delivery of the Tag-Along Notice (the “Acceptance Period”), deliver a notice (the “Tag-Along Offer”) to the Selling Shareholders indicating its desire to exercise its rights and specifying the number of Securities it desires to Transfer. To the extent the aggregate number of Securities proposed to be Transferred pursuant to a Proposed Sale is greater than the total number of Securities the Proposed Transferee is willing to purchase, then the number of Securities to be Transferred by each Tag-Along Seller shall be reduced pro rata to its holding of Securities relative to the holdings of the other Tag-Along Sellers so as to permit the Tag-Along Sellers to sell the number of Securities that the Proposed Transferee is willing to purchase.

(d) The offer of each Tagging Shareholder contained in such Tagging Shareholder’s Tag-Along Offer shall be unconditional and irrevocable and such Tagging Shareholder shall be bound and obligated to Transfer in the Proposed Sale, in accordance with this Clause 5.7, on the same economic terms and conditions with respect to each Security Transferred as the Selling Shareholders and upon the other terms set forth in the Tag-Along Notice, up to such number of Securities as such Tagging Shareholder shall have specified in its Tag-Along Offer (or as reduced in accordance with this Clause 5.7). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Tagging Shareholder shall be entitled to Transfer its Securities pursuant to a Tag-Along Right conferred pursuant to this Clause 5.7 in the event that, notwithstanding delivery of a Tag-Along Offer pursuant to this Clause 5.7, the Selling Shareholders fail to consummate the Transfer of Securities which gave rise to such Tag-Along Right.

(e) The Selling Shareholders shall, in their sole discretion, decide whether to or not to pursue, consummate, postpone or abandon any Proposed Sale and the terms and conditions thereof, provided that such Proposed Sale may only be made if completed within 60 Business Days of the expiry of the Acceptance Period (or, where any anti-trust, regulatory or other third party conditions are required to be satisfied before the Proposed Sale can be completed, by the long-stop date for the satisfaction of such conditions in the Proposed Sale documentation). No Shareholder or any Affiliate of such Shareholder shall have any liability to any other Shareholder or the Group arising from, relating to or in connection with the pursuit, consummation, postponement, abandonment or terms and conditions of any such proposed Transfer except to the extent such Shareholder shall have failed to comply with the provisions of this Clause 5.7.

(f) Each Shareholder who does not make a Tag-Along Offer in compliance with the above requirements, including the time period, shall be deemed to have waived all of such Shareholder’s rights with respect to such Proposed Sale, and the Tag-Along Sellers shall thereafter be free to Transfer up to such number of their Securities as was specified in the Tag-Along Notice and the Securities in respect of which a Tag-Along Offer has been made pursuant to and in compliance with this Clause 5.7 to the Proposed Transferee, for the same form of consideration, at a price no greater than the price set forth in the Tag-Along Notice and on other terms and conditions which are not more favourable in the aggregate to the Tag-Along Sellers than those set forth in the Tag-Along Notice.

(g) In connection with any such Proposed Sale, each Tagging Shareholder participating in such Transfer must agree to make the same representations, warranties, covenants, undertakings and indemnities as the Selling Shareholders agree to make in connection with such Transfer; provided that, (i) a Tagging Shareholder shall not be required to give any business warranties in connection with the Proposed Sale; (ii) in no event shall any Tagging Shareholder be required to enter into any non-compete, non-solicit or similar covenant in connection with such Transfer on terms which are less favourable and/or more onerous in scope and time period than the terms set forth in Clause 9.8; (iii) no such Tagging Shareholder shall be required to make representations and warranties or covenants or provide undertakings or indemnities as to any other Tag-Along Seller; (iv) no Tagging Shareholder shall be liable for the breach of any covenant by any other Tag-Along Sellers; and (v) notwithstanding anything in this Clause 5.7(f) to the contrary, (y) any liability relating to representations, warranties and covenants (and related indemnities) and other undertakings or indemnification obligations regarding the Business of the Group assumed in connection with the Transfer, and (z) any distribution to the Tag-Along Sellers of any amount placed in escrow or subject to holdback in connection with such Transfer that has been released from such escrow or holdback or in respect of any earn out or other delayed or deferred payment, shall be shared by or made to, as the case may be, each such Tag-Along Seller pro rata in proportion to (and shall not exceed) the aggregate proceeds received by such Tag-Along Seller in the proposed Transfer.

(h) Each Tag-Along Seller shall be responsible for its proportionate share of costs and expenses incurred for the benefit of all Tag-Along Sellers in connection with the Proposed Sale, and any indemnities, holdbacks, escrows and similar items relating to the consummated proposed Transfer (other than those that relate to representations or indemnities concerning a shareholder’s valid ownership of the Securities held by it free and clear of all liens, claims and Encumbrances or a Shareholder’s authority, power and legal right to enter into and consummate a sale and purchase or merger agreement or ancillary document), based on the gross proceeds received or to be received in such Proposed Sale, to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Proposed Transferee or member of the Group.

(i) If the Proposed Sale is not completed within the period set out in Clause 5.7(e) above, the Selling Shareholders shall promptly return to the Tag-Along Sellers all documents (if any) previously delivered in respect of the Proposed Sale, and all the restrictions on Transfer contained in this Agreement with respect to Securities held or owned by the Shareholders shall once again be in effect.

5.8 Drag-Along Right

(a) Following the KKR Holding Period but prior to an IPO, if the KKR Shareholder Group or any Syndicatees with whom it is acting in concert (the “Dragging Shareholders”) intends to Transfer Securities to a bona fide third party or a group of bona fide third parties acting in concert (other than to a Permitted Transferee or to a Syndicatee in accordance with Clause 5.4) which would result in the Proposed Transferee (together with any of its Affiliates) holding an Equity Percentage of 50% or more (a “Proposed Sale”), such Dragging Shareholders may, at their option and subject to the provisions of Clause 5.8(d), require the other Shareholders (“Dragged Shareholders”) to participate in the Proposed Sale and Transfer all the Securities held by the Dragged Shareholders to the Proposed Transferee at the same time and on the same economic terms and conditions (including as to price) as Rainbow Capital under such Proposed Sale (the “Drag-Along Right”).

(b) If the Dragging Shareholders wish to exercise their Drag-Along Right and require the participation of the Dragged Shareholders as provided herein, the Dragging Shareholders shall furnish to each Dragged Shareholder a written notice of such Proposed Sale pursuant to the Drag-Along Right

(the “Drag-Along Notice”) no later than 20 Business Days prior to the anticipated closing date of such Proposed Sale, which shall be accompanied by all definitive documentation required to be entered into by the Dragged Shareholders in respect of the Proposed Sale. The relevant Drag-Along Notice will include: (A) the number of Securities to be transferred by the Dragging Shareholders; (B) the proposed price per Security (which shall be calculated as if the Proposed Sale has occurred by way of a sale of all Securities on such date and shall be the same price per Security as the Dragging Shareholders are receiving) and form of consideration to be received by the Dragging Shareholders per Security (as applicable) (and if such consideration consists in part or in whole of assets other than cash, a good faith estimate of the fair market value of such non-cash consideration and relevant information, if available, relating to such non-cash consideration); (C) to the extent known, the identity of the Proposed Transferee(s); (D) to the extent known, the expected closing date of the proposed Transfer; and (E) to the extent known, a summary of any other material terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer.

(c) Each Dragged Shareholder shall, upon receipt of a Drag-Along Notice, be obligated to (i) participate in the Proposed Sale and sell or otherwise Transfer all the Securities held by the Dragged Shareholder; (ii) to vote its securities in favour of the Proposed Sale at any meeting of the shareholders called to vote on or approve the Proposed Sale and Transfer and/or consent in writing to the proposed Transaction; (iii) waive all dissenters’ or appraisal rights in connection with the Proposed Sale and enter into agreements relating to the Proposed Sale; and (v) take all reasonable actions in connection with the consummation of the Proposed Sale and the Transfer as may be requested by the Dragging Shareholders. In connection with any such Transfer, each Dragged Shareholder must agree to make the same representations, warranties, covenants, undertakings and indemnities as Rainbow Capital agrees to make in connection with such Transfer; provided that, unless otherwise agreed by such Dragged Shareholder, (A) a Dragged Shareholder shall not be required to give any business warranties in connection with the Proposed Sale; (B) in no event shall any Dragged Shareholder be required to enter into any non-compete, non-solicit or similar covenant in connection with such Transfer on terms which are less favourable and/or more onerous in scope and time period than the terms set forth in Clause 9.8; (C) no such Dragged Shareholder shall be required to make representations and warranties or covenants or provide undertakings or indemnities as to any other Shareholder; (D) no Dragged Shareholder shall be liable for the breach of any covenant by any other Shareholder; and (E) notwithstanding anything in this Clause 5.8(c) to the contrary, (y) any liability relating to representations, warranties and covenants (and related indemnities) and other undertakings or indemnification obligations regarding the Business of the Group assumed in connection with the Transfer, and (z) any distribution to the Shareholders of any amount placed in escrow or subject to holdback in connection with such Transfer that has been released from such escrow or holdback or in respect of any earn out or other delayed or deferred payment, shall be shared by or made to, as the case may be, each such Shareholder pro rata in proportion to (and shall not exceed) the aggregate proceeds received by each Shareholder in the proposed Transfer.

(d) The obligations of the Dragged Shareholders pursuant to this Clause 5.8 are subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

(i)

upon the consummation of the proposed Transfer, the Dragged Shareholders shall receive for each of its Securities being sold, the same consideration the Dragging Shareholders receive for each of its Securities being sold; and

(ii)

each Dragged Shareholder will be responsible for its proportionate share of costs and expenses incurred for the benefit of all Shareholders (including the Dragging Shareholders) in connection with a consummated proposed Transfer, and any indemnities, holdbacks, escrows and similar items relating to the consummated proposed Transfer (other than those that relate to representations or indemnities concerning a shareholder’s valid ownership of the Securities held by it free and clear of all liens, claims and Encumbrances or a Shareholder’s authority, power and legal right to enter into and consummate a sale and purchase or merger agreement or ancillary document), based on the gross proceeds received or to be received in such proposed Transfer, to the extent that not paid or reimbursed by the proposed transferee or member of the Group.

(e) The Dragging Shareholders shall, in their sole discretion, decide whether to or not to pursue, consummate, postpone or abandon any proposed Transfer and the terms and conditions thereof, provided that such Proposed Sale may only be made if completed within 60 Business Days of the expiry of the date upon which the Drag-Along Notice is served (or, where any anti-trust, regulatory or other third party conditions are required to be satisfied before the Proposed Sale can be completed, by the long-stop date for the satisfaction of such conditions in the Proposed Sale documentation). No Shareholder or any Affiliate of such Shareholder shall have any liability to any other Shareholder or the Group arising from, relating to or in connection with the pursuit, consummation, postponement, abandonment or terms and conditions of any such proposed Transfer except to the extent such Shareholder shall have failed to comply with the provisions of this Clause 5.8.

(f) If the Proposed Sale is not completed within the period set out in Clause 5.8(e) above, the Dragging Shareholders shall promptly return to the Dragged Shareholders all documents (if any) previously delivered in respect of the Proposed Sale, and all the restrictions on Transfer contained in this Agreement with respect to Securities held or owned by the Shareholders shall once again be in effect.

5.9 Other Transfer Restrictions.

(a) In addition to any other restrictions on direct or indirect Transfers herein contained no Transfer of any Securities or other economic or equitable interests in Securities or any direct or indirect Transfer of shares or other securities in a Shareholder shall take place:

(i)

to any Person who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to directly or indirectly own such Securities or shares or other securities in the relevant Shareholder (as the case may be);

(ii)

to any Person that the Bidco Board (acting reasonably) has determined or determines as being a competitor of the Group;

(iii)

without the approval of Rainbow Capital, if such Transfer requires the registration or other qualification of such Securities or shares or other securities in the relevant Shareholder (as the case may be) pursuant to any applicable securities Laws;

(iv)

if such Transfer would result in a violation of anti-bribery, anti-corruption, anti-money laundering and Sanctions Laws, regulations or governmental orders applicable to a Shareholder; or

(v)

without the approval of each of Rainbow Capital and Coty, if such Transfer is effectuated through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the IRC or such Transfer would otherwise result in Topco being treated as a “publicly traded partnership,” as such term is defined in Sections 469(k)(2) or 7704(b) of the IRC and the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (unless (i) such Transfer is disregarded in determining whether interests in Topco are readily tradable on a secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof under Section 1.7704-1 of the U.S. Treasury Regulations (other than Section 1.7704-1(e)(1)(x) thereof) or (ii) the Shareholder determines that Topco will satisfy the requirements of Section 1.7704-1(h) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations at all times during the taxable year of such Transfer).

(b) Unless otherwise approved by the Bidco Board, no direct Transfer may be made or recorded in the books and records of Topco unless the Transferee delivers to Topco notice of such Transfer (together with reasonable supporting evidence of such Transfer), including any agreements or other documents required by this Agreement and a Deed of Adherence.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Transfer of all or part of the A Preference Shares and/or B Preference Shares and/or of any Ordinary Shares (together, the “Stapled Securities”) in existence at the time of such Transfer shall be valid only in conjunction with a simultaneous Transfer to the same transferee of each other type of Stapled Securities in existence at such time, so that each of the transferor and the transferee holds, after the Transfer, a pro rata share of A Preferences Shares and B Preferences Shares that equals its pro rata share of Ordinary Shares at that time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Topco may redeem, repay or repurchase A Preference Shares or B Preference Shares without violating the foregoing restriction, provided that such redemption, repayment or repurchase is made pro rata to all holders of Preference Shares and (ii) the restrictions under this Clause 5.9(c) shall not apply to any Transfer pursuant to a Permitted Pledge, including the granting of such Permitted Pledge or as a result of the exercise of any right of possession, power of sale, foreclosure or any other equivalent enforcement action taken in respect of any Permitted Pledge, including any transfer to a secured party (or its agent) in lieu of foreclosure and subsequent sale.

5.10 Transferees to Become Parties.

(a) Any Transferee receiving any Securities or other economic or equitable interests in Securities in a Transfer (and any Affiliate of a Shareholder which acquires Securities having been nominated to take up a Subscription Right under Clause 4.1(b)) shall become a Party to this Agreement and be subject to the terms and conditions of, and be entitled to enforce, this Agreement as a Shareholder by executing and delivering to Topco a Deed of Adherence.

(b) Prior to any Transfer of any Securities or other economic or equitable interests in Securities in accordance with this Agreement, and as a condition thereto, each Shareholder effecting such Transfer shall cause such Transferee to deliver to Topco and each Shareholder a Deed of Adherence.

(c) For purposes of this Clause 5.10, the terms “Transfer” shall exclude the granting of a Permitted Pledge and “Transferee” shall exclude a secured party under a Permitted Pledge (or any agent therefor) acting in its capacity as secured party (or secured party’s agent) unless and until the secured party (or its agent) has become the beneficial owner of any Securities.

5.11 Further Assurances in respect of Transfers. Subject to the other provisions of this Article V, each Party shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary in order to expeditiously consummate each Transfer which is effected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including executing, acknowledging and delivering consents (including, without limitation, procuring that any Director appointed to a Board by such Party consents to such transfer where required by the relevant Organisational Documents), assignments, waivers and other documents or instruments; furnishing information and copies of documents; filing applications, reports, returns, filings and other documents or instruments with governmental authorities, voting its Securities in favour of any such Transfer (including shareholders’ resolutions) or granting proxies to vote in favour or executing consents to such Transfer; and otherwise cooperating with the relevant parties.

5.12 Obligation to Re-Transfer. If any Person to which any Securities have been Transferred pursuant to sub-clause (a) of the definition of Permitted Transfer ceases to be a Permitted Transferee of the Transferring Shareholder, such Person shall immediately Transfer to the Transferring Shareholder (or to another Permitted Transferee of such Shareholder) all of the Securities it holds to such Person and, until such further Transfer has occurred, all of the voting and economic rights with respect to the Securities so Transferred shall be suspended.

5.13 Financing Cooperation.

(a) If requested by a member of the KKR Shareholder Group, Topco will provide the following cooperation in connection with the granting of any Permitted Pledge: (i) entering into (or causing the relevant member(s) of the Group to enter into) an issuer agreement (an “Issuer Agreement”) with each lender in customary form in connection with such transactions (which agreement may include, without limitation, agreements and obligations of Topco (or the relevant Group member, as the case may be) relating to procedures and specified time periods for effecting Transfers upon foreclosure, agreements to not hinder or delay exercises of remedies on foreclosure, acknowledgments regarding corporate policy, if applicable, certain acknowledgments regarding securities Law status of the pledge arrangements and, with respect to Transfers in connection with a foreclosure, pre-agreed lists of competitors for purposes of Clause 5.9(a)(ii), criteria for compliance with the specifications set forth in Clause 5.9(a)(v) and relevant documentation (including forms thereof) for purposes of the requirements of Clause 5.9(b)) and, subject to the consent of Topco (which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), with such changes thereto as are requested by such lender and customary for similar financings, (ii) using commercially reasonable efforts to remove any restrictive legends on certificates representing pledged Securities when eligible to do so, (iii) if so requested by such lender or counterparty, as applicable, re-registering pledged Securities in the name of the relevant lender, counterparty, custodian or similar party to a Permitted Pledge, solely as securities intermediary and only to the extent a member of the KKR Shareholder Group continues to beneficially own such pledged Securities (it being understood that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any such re-registration shall not decrease the Equity Percentage of the KKR Shareholder Group hereunder nor cause such lender or counterparty to be considered a Shareholder hereunder), (iv) entering into customary triparty agreements with each lender and one or more members of the KKR Shareholder Group relating to the delivery of any Securities to the relevant lender for crediting to the relevant collateral accounts upon funding of the loan and payment of the purchase price including a right for such lender as a third party beneficiary of Topco’s (or the relevant Group member’s) obligations under the relevant purchase agreement to issue the relevant Securities upon payment of the purchase price therefor in accordance with the terms of such purchase agreement and this Agreement and (v) such other cooperation and assistance as the KKR Shareholder Group may reasonably request (which cooperation and assistance, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any requirement that Topco deliver information, compliance certificates or any other materials typically provided by borrowers to lenders) that will not unreasonably disrupt the operation of Topco’s business. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, Topco’s (or the relevant Group member’s) obligation to deliver an Issuer Agreement is conditioned on the KKR certifying to Topco (or the relevant member of the Group) in writing that (A) the pledge agreement with respect to which the Issuer Agreement is being delivered constitutes a Permitted Pledge being entered into in accordance with this Agreement, the Investor has pledged the relevant Securities as collateral to the lenders under the loan or other financing arrangement to which such Permitted Pledge relates and that the execution of such Permitted Pledge and the terms thereof do not violate the terms of this Agreement, (B) to the extent applicable, whether the Related Rights are being assigned to the lenders under that Permitted Pledge and (C) Rainbow Capital acknowledges and agrees that Topco (or the relevant Group member) will be relying on such certificate when entering into the Issuer Agreement and any inaccuracy in such certificate will be deemed a breach of this Agreement. The KKR Shareholder Group acknowledges and agrees that the statements and agreements of Topco (or the relevant member of the Group) in an Issuer Agreement are solely for the benefit of the applicable lenders party thereto and that in any dispute between Topco (or such member of the Group, as the case may be) and the KKR Shareholder Group under this Agreement the KKR Shareholder Group shall not be entitled to use the statements and agreements of Topco (or such member of the Group, as the case may be) in an Issuer Agreement against Topco (or such member of the Group, as the case may be).

(b) If requested by a member of the KKR Shareholder Group, Topco and each other Shareholder shall consider in good faith any amendments to this Agreement proposed by such lender or counterparty as necessary to facilitate the consummation of a Permitted Pledge, and Topco and each other Shareholder shall consent to any such amendment that is not adverse in any material respect to the interests of Topco or such other Shareholder, as applicable (as determined in good faith by the Topco or the relevant Shareholder, as the case may be).

enter into one or more agreements customary for preparation for or execution of an IPO in the relevant jurisdiction and providing for the rights and obligations of the Shareholders and the other Parties in connection with the IPO and after the IPO, including demand Public Offering rights, lock-ups and provisions designed to result in, and recommended by the underwriter(s) of the IPO to facilitate, an orderly disposition of securities by the Shareholders pursuant to which each Shareholder shall agree to refrain from selling its Securities for so long as Topco agrees to refrain from selling its Securities (provided that such period does not exceed 180 days or such other period as may reasonably be recommended by the underwriter(s) of the IPO, and to which Rainbow Capital agrees, as being commercially and reasonably desirable to facilitate the IPO), the right of each Shareholder to exchange its Securities for IPO Securities such that the Shareholders either directly hold IPO Securities or acquire rights to proceeds of an IPO, in each case, up to such Shareholder’s Equity Percentage of the IPO Securities (including if the underwriters of such IPO advise that the number of shares proposed to be sold in the IPO exceeds the largest amount of shares that can be sold in the IPO without adversely impacting the price, timing or distribution of the shares to be offered, in which case, each Shareholder’s Equity Percentage shall be scaled down on a pro rata basis);

(b) Tax Advances. To the extent Topco is required by law to withhold or to make tax payments (including any interest and penalties thereon) on behalf of or with respect to any Shareholder (“Tax Advances”), Topco may withhold such amounts and make such tax payments. All Tax Advances shall, at the option of Topco, (i) be promptly paid to Topco by the Shareholder on whose behalf such Tax Advances were made or (ii) be repaid by reducing the amount of the current or next succeeding distribution or distributions which would otherwise have been made to such Shareholder or, if such distributions are not sufficient for that purpose, by so reducing the proceeds of liquidation otherwise payable to such Shareholder. Whenever Topco selects the option set forth in sub-clause (ii) above, for all purposes of this Agreement such Shareholder shall be treated as having received all distributions unreduced by the amount of such Tax Advance. Each Shareholder hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Topco with respect to Tax Advances required on behalf of or with respect to such Shareholder. In the event Topco is liquidated and a liability is asserted against any Shareholder or any member or officer of a Shareholder (a “Tax Indemnified Shareholder”) for Tax Advances in respect of another Shareholder, the Tax Indemnified Shareholder shall have the right to be reimbursed by the Shareholder on whose behalf such Tax Advance was made. The obligations of a Shareholder set forth in this Clause 9.1(b) shall survive the withdrawal of any Shareholder from Topco or any Transfer of a Shareholder’s economic interests in Topco.

(i)

Each of Topco and Bidco shall, and Topco shall procure that Midco, Midco 2 and Holdco shall, elect pursuant to U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3(c) to be classified and treated as a partnership or an entity disregarded as separate from its owner, as applicable, for U.S. federal income tax purposes from its inception.

The Tax Compliance Person is hereby authorized and empowered on behalf and in the name of Topco or any member of the Group to make any U.S. tax entity classification election pursuant to U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3(c) described above, and the Shareholders and each member of the Group shall cooperate with the Tax Compliance Person as needed in connection therewith. Rainbow Capital acknowledges that as of the date of this Agreement, the elections or entity classifications described in this Section 9.1(c)(i) shall not be deemed to result in a meaningful adverse consequence for Rainbow Capital (or any of its beneficiaries).

(ii)

At the prior written request of the Coty Parent, Topco and Bidco shall consult in good faith with the Coty Parent regarding whether to make or cause to be made an entity classification election pursuant to U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3(c) proposed by and having an effective date specified by the Coty Parent and electing disregarded entity, partnership or corporate status, as specified by the Coty Parent, with respect to any member of the Group, whether existing at or formed or acquired after Completion (the “Proposed Election”).

Subject to the foregoing, the Tax Compliance Person is hereby authorized and empowered on behalf and in the name of Topco or any member of the Group to make any U.S. tax entity classification election pursuant to U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3(c), and the Shareholders and each member of the Group shall cooperate with the Tax Compliance Person as needed in connection therewith.

(d) Cooperation and Consultation.

(i)

Each Shareholder shall reasonably cooperate with the other Shareholders to determine if any member of the Group or any Shareholder or direct or indirect owner thereof is, from time to time, entitled to the benefits of any income tax treaty in effect at such time between the country of which such person is tax resident and the United States; provided that no Shareholder shall be obligated to provide any information pursuant to this Clause 9.1(d)(i) that such Shareholder reasonably considers to be confidential, unless the Shareholders agree to take such measures reasonably acceptable to such Shareholder to ensure the continued confidentiality of such information.

(ii)

If Topco or Rainbow Capital proposes to (A) cause any member of the Group to enter into or undertake any transaction over which the Coty Parent, at the time such transaction is contemplated, has a consent right pursuant to Clause 3.1(b) as a result of such transaction constituting one of items 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and/or 14 (as applicable) of Schedule B (Reserved Matters) (a “Reserved Transaction”), (B) for so long as the Coty Shareholder Group hold an Equity Percentage of at least 15%, (x) make any change or modification or take any action with respect to the structure of Topco or any material member of the Group which change, modification or action would result in a material restructuring or reorganisation of the Group (a “Structure Action”), (y) undertake any transaction not included within the foregoing sub-clause (B)(x) above that constitutes a Material Non-Ordinary Course Transaction, Topco shall notify Coty Parent within a reasonable period of time in advance of and, to the extent requested by the Coty Parent, provide sufficient detail regarding such Reserved Transaction, Structure Action, or Material Non-Ordinary Course Transaction, as the case may be, in order to permit the Coty Parent to evaluate the potential tax impact of such matter on the Coty Group currently or in the future. At the Coty Parent’s request, the Parties shall work together in good faith to develop a mutually beneficial tax structure or course of action.

(iii)

Change in Law. For so long as the Coty Shareholder Group hold an Equity Percentage of at least 15%, in the event there is (A) a Change in Law subsequent to the Completion Date or (B) a non-binding interpretation by the IRS or other administrative body, either

of which could materially increase the Tax Liability of any member of the Coty Group as a result of Coty Parent’s interest in Topco, the Parties shall consult in good faith to develop a mutually acceptable course of action, taking into account all relevant considerations, including the impact of such course of action on Topco and Rainbow Capital and any potential Tax Liability of the Coty Group that would result from such Change in Law or such interpretation. Topco shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to implement and comply with any course of action agreed by the Parties pursuant to the foregoing or, if no mutual agreement is reached, which is adopted by the Bidco Board. If, due to any Change in Law subsequent to the Completion Date, performance of any provision of this Clause 9.1 or any transaction contemplated thereby shall become unlawful, impracticable or impossible, the Parties hereto shall use reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such provision.

(iv)

Responsibility for Incremental Costs. If any tax structures or courses of action with respect to any matter described in Clause 9.1(d)(ii), Clause 9.1(d)(iii) or Clause 9.1(d)(vi)(A) result (in the aggregate) in an Incremental Cost in excess of US$100,000 in any calendar year, the Coty Parent shall be responsible for all such Incremental Costs of implementing (grossed up for any taxes incurred as result of the receipt of such payment, if any) or complying with each such tax structure or course of action in that calendar year. In the event that such Incremental Costs exceed US $100,000 in any calendar year, Rainbow Capital and Topco shall send a single invoice to the Coty Parent following the end of such calendar year describing in reasonable detail such Incremental Costs. If there is a dispute between the Parties as to whether there is, or the amount of, an Incremental Cost as a result of a tax structure or course of action, such dispute shall be submitted to a partner in the audit practice of any Accounting Firm. The Parties shall cooperate fully with the Accounting Firm, which shall (i) consider only the matter in dispute among the Parties and (ii) be instructed to reach its conclusion regarding any such dispute within 60 calendar days after its appointment. Each Party may, but is not required to, submit a position paper to the Accounting Firm setting forth the position of such Party. Each Party shall bear its own expenses relating to the engagement with the Accounting Firm. To the extent that the Coty Parent is responsible for an Incremental Cost under this Clause 9.1(d)(iv), Topco and Rainbow Capital shall take all reasonable actions in good faith to mitigate the amount of such Incremental Cost.

(v)

Post Completion Operations. The Parties acknowledge that, at Completion, the Post-Completion Principal Company, through its employees acting in Switzerland, has an active and substantial involvement with the development of manufacturing strategy, operational oversight and control with respect to all critical manufacturing decisions, including make vs. buy decisions, demand and supply planning, quality control and managing manufacturing costs for related and third-party manufacturing, with regard to the products sold in the Post-Completion Principal Company’s territory.

(a) the part of the Competing Opportunity which is competitive with the business conducted by the Group or any member of the Group represents more than 50% of the annual consolidated revenues of the whole of the Competing Opportunity in the last financial year for which audited accounts are available, the Acquiring Shareholder shall afford the Group (via the Bidco Board) a right of first offer to acquire the whole of the Competing Opportunity. If the Bidco Board does not agree to acquire the whole of the Competing Opportunity on behalf of the Group within 30 Business Days of such offer being made (or such longer period agreed between such Parties) and the Acquiring Shareholder subsequently acquires Control of such Competing Opportunity, the Acquiring Shareholder shall, within 12 months of completion of the acquisition of Control of such Competing Opportunity, use commercially reasonable best efforts to divest the division(s) of the business or company which competes with the any member of the Group to a non-affiliated third party through a direct sale or competitive auction process, provided that the Acquiring Shareholder shall first afford the Group (via the Bidco Board) a right of first offer of such divestment; or

ARTICLE X

MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Amendment; Waiver.

(a) This Agreement (other than the Board Referral Matters, which shall be amended, supplemented or modified in accordance with Clause 3.5(f)) can only be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified by a written instrument executed by the Shareholders, provided, however, that Rainbow

Capital may, subject to compliance with the Reserved Matters and Clause 9.10, amend, supplement, restate, waive or otherwise modify this Agreement without a Shareholder’s consent or signature to the extent such amendment, supplement, waiver or modification (i) does not affect or prejudice such Shareholder in any respect, (ii) does not subject such Shareholder to materially adverse differential treatment relative to the other Shareholders, or (iii) is immaterial or administrative. Topco shall send to each Shareholder a copy of any amendment, modification, supplement or restatement to this Agreement prior to any such amendment, modification, supplement or restatement is made or, if not practicable to do so, promptly thereafter.

(b) No waiver by any Party of any of the provisions hereof will be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and executed by the Party so waiving. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, no action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any Party, will be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Party taking such action of compliance with any covenants or agreements contained herein. The waiver by any Party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement will not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach.

10.2 Effectiveness; Termination.

(a) This Agreement shall become effective immediately following execution by the parties hereto, and, subject to Clause 10.2(c), shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon (and contemporaneously with) the earlier of: (i) the written agreement of all Shareholders; (ii) the date on which there is no longer any Shareholder which is a party to this Agreement; (iii) the date on which Topco does not have any indirect voting rights in UK Divestco; (iv) the date of completion of an Exit (or, if later, the date upon which the proceeds of such Exit are distributed to the Shareholders); and (v) the date on which a Winding Up of Topco is concluded. At the time any Shareholder (provided in the case of a Permitted Transfer that the transferee has signed a Deed of Adherence) which is a Party ceases to hold any Securities, such Shareholder shall automatically cease to be a Party to this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement in its entirety or in respect of any Shareholder pursuant to Clause 10.2(a): (i) the provisions of Clause 9.2 (Confidentiality and Public Announcements) and Article VIII (Warranties) shall survive for a period of three years following such termination; (ii) the provisions of Clause 9.8 (Non-Compete; Non-Solicitation) shall survive in accordance with its terms; and (iii) this Article X (Miscellaneous) shall survive indefinitely.

(c) Termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Clause 10.2 shall not affect a Party’s accrued rights and obligations above (including under the provisions identified in Clause 10.2(b)) at the date of termination although each Party’s further rights and obligations shall cease immediately on termination.

10.3 Notices.

(a) Any notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder to a Party shall be sufficiently given if in writing and either: (i) personally delivered; (ii) sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; (iii) sent by overnight delivery service such as DHL; or (iv)sent by electronic mail, and, in each case, addressed for the Parties as set forth in Schedule A or to such other address as the relevant Party shall have given notice of pursuant hereto. All such notices and other communications shall be deemed to have been given and received; (i) if by personal delivery, on the day of such delivery; (ii) if by registered or certified mail, on the third day after the mailing thereof; and (iii) if by overnight delivery service such as DHL or by electronic mail, on the next Business Day.

(b) Copies of any notices or correspondence received by any member of the Group under, in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by it shall be promptly provided to each Shareholder by such member of the Group.

10.4 Default; Escalation Procedure. If a Shareholder (the “Defaulting Shareholder”) materially breaches any of its obligations hereunder (a “Default”), then the non-defaulting Shareholder may deliver notice to the Defaulting Shareholder describing in reasonable detail the alleged Default in question, including the specific alleged material breach(es) of such material obligations by the Defaulting Shareholder (a “Default Notification”). The allegedly Defaulting Shareholder shall have 30 days from the receipt of the applicable Default Notification to cure such Default. If the Defaulting Shareholder fails to cure such Default within 30 day cure period (“Default Cure Period”) or such Default is incapable of being cured, then either Shareholder may within 10 Business Days of the expiration of the Default Cure Period refer such matter to each Shareholder’s respective authorised Senior Representatives for discussion and resolution. The Senior Representatives shall use good faith efforts to resolve any such Default so referred to them as soon as practicable.

10.5 Applicable Law; Dispute Resolution.

(a) This Agreement and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it are governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.

(b) Excluding any dispute in respect of the Option/Redemption Price (which shall be settled as set out in Clause 5.6), all disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (which incorporates this same arbitration agreement by repetition in full) shall be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of the London Court of International Arbitration (“LCIA”) by three arbitrators. The claimant(s) shall nominate one arbitrator to be approved by the LCIA Court in accordance with the LCIA Rules. The respondent(s) shall nominate one arbitrator to be approved by the LCIA Court in accordance with the LCIA Rules. The third arbitrator, who shall act as the chairman of the tribunal, shall be nominated by agreement of the two party-appointed arbitrators, reached in consultation with the parties, within twenty (20) days of the confirmation of the appointment of the second arbitrator, or in default of such agreement, appointed by the LCIA Court. In the event that any party fails to nominate an arbitrator in accordance with the foregoing, then the LCIA Court shall nominate an arbitrator on behalf of the party that has failed to nominate an arbitrator. The place of arbitration shall be London, England. The language of the arbitration shall be English.

(c) If for any reason more than one arbitration is commenced pursuant to this arbitration agreement, such separate arbitration proceedings may be consolidated into a single proceeding before one Tribunal appointed in accordance with this arbitration agreement, where no significant prejudice would result, as determined in the sole discretion of the Tribunal first appointed in any such several proceedings. This clause is expressly intended to afford the Tribunal so appointed with greater flexibility and discretion to consolidate related arbitration claims and proceedings, so that related claims and proceedings may be combined within a single proceeding, than is otherwise afforded under the LCIA Rules. For the avoidance of doubt, each party expressly acknowledges that the fact that the first in time arbitral tribunal has already been appointed does not constitute significant prejudice for the purpose of this Clause 10.5.

(d) Each Party acknowledges and undertakes that (i) it shall not challenge the validity or enforceability of the provisions of this Agreement either as a matter of English law or otherwise (“Challenge”) and (ii) in the event of a Challenge, the Party making such Challenge shall indemnify and keep indemnified each other Party against any and all Losses which such other Party incurs arising out of or in connection with a Challenge including, without limitation, any Losses reasonably and properly incurred as result of settling or defending a Challenge.

10.6 Assignment. Except in the case of a valid Transfer of Securities pursuant to this Agreement and the accession of the relevant Transferee to this Agreement pursuant to Clause 5.10, the rights and obligations under this Agreement may not be transferred by any Party hereto, in whole or in part, to any Person, and any purported Transfer shall be void and unenforceable.

10.7 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any material breach of the provisions of this Agreement. In the event of a material breach of this Agreement by a Party which material breach threatens irreparable harm to any other Party, such non-breaching Party may seek specific enforcement or injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction, which remedies shall not limit, but shall be in addition to, all other remedies that the non-breaching Parties may have at law or in equity.

10.8 Further Assurances. The Parties shall observe and comply fully with the provisions of this Agreement and will sign such further documents, cause such further meetings to be held, adopt such resolutions and do and perform and cause to be done such further acts and things as may be necessary in order to give full effect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

10.9 Several Obligations. The obligations of each of the Parties under this Agreement shall be several and not joint.

10.10 Entire Agreement; No Recourse.

(a) This Agreement and the Schedules hereto represent the entire understanding and agreement of the Parties and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and arrangements (whether written or oral) among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Each Party acknowledges that it has not made or relied on any representation or warranty other than those specifically set forth herein, and provided that nothing in this Clause 10.10(c) shall exclude any liability of any party for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

(b) Without prejudice to any liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or fraudulent misstatement, the only rights or remedies in relation to any representation, warranty, assurance, covenant, indemnity, undertaking or commitment given or action taken in connection with this Agreement are contained in this Agreement, and no party shall have any right to rescind this Agreement.

(c) No provision of this Agreement shall confer upon any Person other than the Parties hereto and their permitted assigns any rights or remedies hereunder, except that the Non-Recourse Parties shall be third party beneficiaries of this Clause 10.10(c). This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claims or causes of action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement may only be made against the entities that are expressly identified as Parties hereto, including entities that become parties hereto after the date of this Agreement or that agree in writing for the benefit of Topco to be bound by the terms of this Agreement applicable to the Shareholders, and no former, current or future equityholders, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, general or limited partner, member, manager, advisor, agents, successors, assigns or Affiliates of any party hereto or any former, current or future equityholder, controlling person, director, officer, employee, general or limited partner, member, manager, advisor, agent successors, assigns or Affiliate of any of the foregoing (each, a “Non-Recourse Party”) shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of the parties to this Agreement or for any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby or in respect of any representations (whether written or oral) made in connection herewith, and no personal liability shall attach to, be imposed upon or otherwise be incurred by the Non-Recourse Parties through a Shareholder or otherwise, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate (or partnership or limited liability company) veil, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute, regulation or Law, or otherwise. Without limiting the rights of any Party against the other Parties hereto, in no event shall any Party or any of its Affiliates seek to enforce this Agreement against, make any claims for breach of this Agreement against, or seek to recover monetary damages from, any Non-Recourse Party.

(d) This Agreement shall not be construed as creating any partnership or agency relationship between any of the parties, except where this Agreement expressly so provides.

10.11 Titles and Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and will not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

10.12 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns.

10.13 Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, or should any provision later become invalid or unenforceable, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement which shall not be affected and shall remain in full force and effect.

10.14 Third Party Rights. A person who is not a party to this Agreement has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Xxx 0000 to enforce any term of, or enjoy any benefit under, this Agreement, except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement.

10.15 Counterparts. This Agreement shall be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any counterpart or other signature hereupon delivered by facsimile or electronic mail shall be deemed for all purposes as constituting good and valid execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Party.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the Parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
