RECITALS

WHEREAS, Section 25 of the Agreement provides that, as long as the Rights are then redeemable (which they are currently), the Company may in its sole and absolute discretion, and the Rights Agent shall, if the Company so directs, supplement or amend any provision of the Agreement in any respect without the approval of any holders of Rights or Common Shares;

WHEREAS, on January 29, 2017, the Company implemented a holding company reorganization (the “Holding Company Reorganization”) pursuant to which, among other things, Ulta Beauty, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Ulta Beauty”), replaced the Company as the publicly-traded entity and each outstanding share of common stock of the Company automatically converted into a share of the common stock of Ulta Beauty, having the same rights, powers and preferences, and qualifications, limitations and restrictions (accordingly, upon consummation of the Holding Company Reorganization, the Company’s then current stockholders became stockholders of Ulta Beauty); and

WHEREAS, in connection with, and as a result of, the Holding Company Reorganization, the Board of Directors of the Company has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to amend the terms of the Agreement as set forth below and directs the Rights Agent to also execute this Amendment.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company, Ulta Beauty and the Rights Agent hereby amend the Agreement as follows:

SECTION 1.    Amendment to Certain Definitions.

SECTION 2.    Legend in Section 3.3 of the Agreement. The stock certificate legend set forth in Section 3.3 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

This certificate also evidences and entitles the holder hereof to certain rights as set forth in an Agreement between Ulta Beauty, Inc. (the “Company”) and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as Rights Agent, dated as of October 25, 2007, as amended as of January 29, 2017, and as the same may be further amended from time to time (the “Agreement”), the terms of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference and a copy of which is on file at the principal executive offices of the Company. Under certain circumstances, as set forth in the Agreement, such Rights will be evidenced by separate certificates and will no longer be evidenced by this certificate. The Company will mail to the holder of this certificate a copy of the Agreement without charge after receipt of a written request therefor. As described in the Agreement, Rights which are owned by, transferred to or have been owned by Acquiring Persons or Associates or Affiliates thereof (as defined in the Agreement) shall become null and void and will no longer be transferable.
