Re: Severance Benefit Letter Agreement and General Release of Claims

Dear Xxx:

This Severance Benefit Letter Agreement and General Release of Claims (this “Agreement”) sets forth the terms and conditions of your benefits under an individual severance agreement with Avon Products, Inc. (“Avon” or the “Company”) that provides benefits in excess of the benefits available under the Avon Products, Inc. Severance Pay Plan (the “Severance Plan”). The Severance Plan limits total payouts to any participant to no more than $540,000 for separations that occur in 2017 (the “409A Limit”). Because your total severance payments are in excess of the amount that would otherwise be provided under the Severance Plan, this Agreement will be provided to you in lieu of any benefits payable under the Severance Plan and you agree that you waive all your rights to benefits under the Severance Plan.

The severance benefits being offered to you are as follows:


a.	Basic Severance Benefits: As long as you work through the Separation Date (defined below in numbered Paragraph 1), you are eligible for a severance payment representing two weeks of your base salary, less deductions (the “Basic Severance”); or

Additional Severance Benefits: As an alternative to the Basic Severance, you may elect to receive a collection of benefits consisting of payment to you of an amount greater than the Basic Severance amount plus certain other benefits as described below. For clarity, this collection of severance benefits will be called “Additional Severance Benefits.” The Additional Severance Benefits are payable instead of the Basic Severance. The Additional Severance Benefits are being offered to you in consideration of this Agreement, and, if applicable, the Second General Release (as defined below).

To be eligible for the Additional Severance Benefits, as detailed below, you must: (1) work through the Separation Date; (2) timely sign this Agreement; (3) allow this Agreement to become effective and irrevocable (by not revoking it within seven days of your signature); and (4) if you signed this Agreement before the Separation Date, you must timely sign another general release of claims (the “Second General Release”) and allow the Second General Release to become effective and irrevocable (by not revoking it within seven days of your signature). A copy of this Second General Release is included with the Agreement. See the Paragraph below entitled Permissible Time to Sign Agreement and Possible Second General Release regarding the timing requirements for deciding whether to execute these documents and the accompanying instructions in the Second General Release.

If your employment does not end for any reason, or if you are transferred or receive certain offers of employment from Avon or its affiliates to commence promptly after the Separation Date, consistent with the Severance Plan, your eligibility to receive either Basic Severance or Additional Severance Benefits will cease.

Until this Agreement and, if applicable, the Second General Release becomes effective, you are not eligible for and do not have a binding right to severance benefits beyond the Basic Severance (two weeks of base salary, less deductions). If you elect not to sign the Agreement, you are entitled to retain the Basic Severance. The below Paragraphs briefly describe the treatment of your benefits after the Separation Date (defined in Paragraph 1), including the enhanced severance benefits available to you if you elect the Additional Severance Benefits. Please note, however, that the actual written plan documents for the relevant benefit plans set forth the terms and conditions of benefits and control in the event of differences described herein.


1.	Last Day of Active Employment

Your last day of active employment with Avon will be October 1, 2017 (the “Separation Date”). You must work through the Separation Date to either receive Basic Severance or Additional Severance Benefits.

Regardless of whether you work through the Separation Date or whether you elect the Additional Severance Benefits, if you are entitled to any payment for accrued but unused paid time off benefits (e.g., vacation) through your last day of work, in accordance with applicable law, or the terms of an applicable Avon policy, you will receive a separate payment representing such amount(s), if any.


2.	Salary Continuation

You must work through the Separation Date to either receive Basic Severance or Additional Severance Benefits. For example, if, prior to the Separation Date, you (i) voluntarily resign your employment, (ii) are terminated by Avon for cause (as defined in the Severance Plan), or (iii) are terminated by Avon for poor performance (as defined in the Severance Plan) in accordance with our regular processes, you will not have met the requirement to work through the Separation Date.

If you work through the Separation Date, you will be eligible for either Basic Severance or Additional Severance Benefits:

Basic Severance: If you do not elect the Additional Severance Benefits, you are eligible for an automatic two-week severance period (two weeks of your base salary), less applicable deductions, paid in accordance with the next-scheduled payroll cycle following the Separation Date.

Additional Severance Benefits: If you elect the Additional Severance Benefits, you will receive salary continuation for 24 months immediately following the Separation Date (referred to as the “Salary Continuation Period”) based upon your annual salary as in effect on the Separation Date. Avon payroll will calculate the total amount of salary continuation payable, in accordance with Avon’s normal payroll practices.

Because you are one of the top 50 highest paid employees at Avon (a “specified employee”), under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A (“Section 409A”), the section which governs nonqualified deferred compensation (including separation agreements), certain limitations may apply on how the separation payments will be made to you if the total severance payments exceed the 409A Limit. Since your total severance payments under the Additional Severance Benefits are expected to exceed the 409A Limit, you will receive your severance in two tranches:


(a)	The first tranche (“Tranche A”) will be equal to the 409A Limit, payable over the Salary Continuation Period in substantially equal, bi-weekly installments (less applicable deductions) on each of Avon’s regular payroll dates.


(b)	The second tranche (“Tranche B”) will be equal to the remaining amount of salary continuation owed to you under this Agreement in excess of the 409A Limit, payable from the first administratively feasible Avon regular

payroll date that occurs in the seventh month following the Separation Date through the end of the Salary Continuation Period, in substantially equal, bi-weekly installments (less applicable deductions) on each of Avon’s regular payroll dates.

Where both tranches are being paid at the same time, there will be one check paid to you by Avon.

For the avoidance of doubt, payments under Tranche A are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A. Payments under Tranche B are intended to either be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A or satisfy any applicable requirements of Section 409A for payments of nonqualified deferred compensation to specified employees.

The Additional Severance Benefits are instead of the Basic Severance and any severance benefits that may otherwise be contemplated under any agreement with Avon or any Avon plan, policy or program.

During the Salary Continuation Period, as explained below, you will be eligible to continue to participate in certain of Avon’s benefit plans in accordance with the provisions of the relevant plan documents, including any amendments to those plans that may be enacted from time to time, and any applicable elections that you may have on file with Avon. You will not, however, accrue any vacation days or be eligible for any other benefits provided to active employees during the Salary Continuation Period, other than those expressly provided for herein and/or as otherwise required by law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are receiving the Additional Severance Benefits in the form of salary continuation but you accept a position with another business entity, Avon may elect, in its sole discretion, to pay any remaining cash severance payments to you in the form of a lump sum payment (except that any such election to accelerate payment will not apply to the extent that it would violate Section 409A), in which case your participation in all Avon benefit plans (for example, the active medical plan) will cease, and you will no longer have a “Salary Continuation Period.” However, as used in Paragraphs 10(c), 10(d), or 10(e), below, the “Salary Continuation Period” shall mean the entire period of time that you would have received salary continuation payments under this Paragraph 2 had you not received all or a portion of your severance payments in the form of a lump sum payment.

Avon Personal Savings Account Plan: With respect to the Avon Personal Savings Account Plan (the “PSA”), also known as the 401(k) Plan, you are considered a terminated employee on the Separation Date. Even if you elect the Additional Severance Benefits, you will not be entitled to participate in the PSA during the Salary Continuation Period. Whether or not you elect the Additional Severance Benefits, upon the Separation Date, you may take a distribution of your benefits immediately. You may roll over the contents of your PSA account into an Individual Retirement Account or other tax-deferred savings account in accordance with the PSA and applicable tax rules. Please consult with your accountant or tax advisor before doing so. Any outstanding PSA loans you may have are payable within three months after your Separation Date if you do not make arrangements to continue to make regular loan repayments after the Separation Date through the PSA third party administrator, Empower Retirement. You should contact Empower Retirement if you have an outstanding plan loan.


4.	Cash Incentive Award

As a reminder, all cash incentive awards are subject to Avon’s compensation recoupment policy.

Annual EIP: You are currently a participant in the Avon Products, Inc. 2013-2017 Executive Incentive Plan (the “Annual EIP”) for 2017. Regardless of whether or not you elect the Additional Severance Benefits, payments, if any, of the Annual EIP award are governed by the terms of the Annual EIP and are triggered by the attainment of performance measures, as determined in accordance with Company policies. Payment, if any, of the 2017 Annual EIP award, will be made in 2018 at the same time active 2017 Annual EIP participants receive their payments. Even if you elect the Additional Severance Benefits, you are not eligible for an award for any years after 2017 under the Annual EIP or any other bonus program.


5.	Deferred Compensation Plan

Regardless of whether or not you elect the Additional Severance Benefits, under the Avon Products, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the “DCP”) distributions will begin in accordance with the terms of such plan and any elections you may have made under such plan, including any amendments to such plan that may be enacted from time to time. If you elect the Additional Severance Benefits, during the Salary Continuation Period, you are not eligible to defer any monies into the DCP. Your DCP form and timing of payment elections are available online at xxxx://xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxx.xxx.


6.	Equity Awards

Regardless of whether or not you elect the Additional Severance Benefits, each equity award (such as restricted stock units and stock options) will continue to be governed by the applicable equity agreement(s) and the applicable stock incentive plan(s) (including, but not limited to, terms and conditions regarding vesting and settlement of awards).


7.	Career Transition and Development Services

Additional Severance Benefits: If you elect the Additional Severance Benefits, you will receive career transition and development services (outplacement services) provided by a vendor and program selected by Avon. More information will be provided to you under separate cover closer to the Separation Date. Your eligibility for outplacement services will begin on the day following the Separation Date and will continue for twelve (12) months following the Separation Date. If, at the conclusion of this initial career transition and development period, you have not found new employment, you may be eligible for a maximum of twelve (12) additional months of career transition and development services, to be granted in one-month increments at the sole discretion of Avon.

Basic Severance: If you do not elect the Additional Severance Benefits, no career transition and development services will be provided to you.


8.	Health and Welfare Plans

Additional Severance Benefits: If you elect the Additional Severance Benefits, during the Salary Continuation Period, and provided that you are a participant in the applicable Avon plan as of the Separation Date, you generally will continue to be eligible to participate in the following benefit plans: Medical, Dental, Vision, Employee Assistance Program, Group Life Insurance, Supplemental Group Life Insurance, Group Accidental Death and Dismemberment (“AD&D”) and Supplemental Group AD&D. For those plans requiring premium payments, you will be required to pay the same portion of the total premium as an active associate pays. If you elect to continue Medical, Dental and/or Vision coverage, your benefit coverage level will be provided at the benefit coverage level that you previously selected, subject to Avon’s right to amend, modify, or terminate such arrangements at any time. But note, however, because you are considered one of the top 25% highest paid associates at Avon per IRS regulations, you will be paying your entire premiums on an after-tax basis and your Form W-2s will include imputed income equal to value of the subsidized premiums being

provided by Avon, as required by the Internal Revenue Code. Because of this required tax treatment, the cost to you of continuing coverage may be substantially higher than while you were actively employed. You may wish to consult a tax advisor to see how this change may impact you.

Also, in the event that during the Salary Continuation Period you should become employed by another employer and are provided with medical and/or dental insurance coverage, you may either drop your Avon coverage or continue your coverage under both plans. Under the second alternative, your coverage will be coordinated between the two plans, with your new employer’s plan serving as the primary payer. In the event that your group health plan coverage ceases during the Salary Continuation Period due to a “qualifying event,” or due to the expiration of the Salary Continuation Period, you will then be entitled to elect continued coverage pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”) at your own expense, assuming you satisfy the requirements of COBRA.

In addition, pursuant to Section 409A, the following rules apply to your continued receipt of the above welfare benefits to the extent those benefits are not exempt from the requirements of Section 409A: (x) to the extent that any such benefit is provided via reimbursement to you, no such reimbursement will be made by Avon later than the end of the year following the year in which the underlying expense is incurred; (y) any such benefit provided by Avon in any year will not be affected by the amount of any such benefit provided by Avon in any other year; and (z) under no circumstances will you be permitted to liquidate or exchange any such benefit for cash or any other benefit.

Basic Severance: If you do not elect the Additional Severance Benefits, your participation in the Medical, Dental, Vision, Employee Assistance Program, Group Life Insurance, Supplemental Group Life Insurance, Group AD&D and Supplemental Group AD&D will generally end on the Separation Date (or no later than the last day of the month in which Basic Severance ceases, pursuant to the terms of each plan and/or policy). You are entitled to elect to continue group health plan coverage under COBRA at your own expense, assuming you satisfy the requirements of COBRA. Information regarding COBRA coverage will be sent to you under separate cover if you do not elect the Additional Severance Benefits.

Other Welfare Benefits

Regardless of whether or not you elect the Additional Severance Benefits, your participation in the Short-Term and Long-Term Disability plans, the Flexible

Spending Accounts, and the Transit Incentive Plan will cease following the Separation Date (except that you may continue to participate in the Health Care Flexible Spending Account for the remainder of the calendar year in which the Separation Date occurs in accordance with COBRA, assuming you satisfy the requirements of COBRA and assuming that you elect COBRA). You will receive separate paperwork required to elect COBRA continuation coverage for the Health Care Flexible Spending Account.

If you participate in the Transit Incentive Program, you will have 90 days after the Separation Date to spend the remaining pre-tax and after-tax funds on your WageWorks Transit Commuter Card. After the 90-day period has expired, the post-tax contributions will be returned to you. Pre-tax contributions, per regulations, will be forfeited. For more information please contact WageWorks at 000-000-0000.

Also, when your group life insurance coverage terminates (either immediately, or if you elect the Additional Severance Benefits, at the end of the Salary Continuation Period, if any), you may be entitled to convert the group coverage to individual life insurance coverage. Please contact the group life insurance vendor (currently Liberty Mutual at 888-787-2129) before your group life insurance coverage terminates for details.


9.	Perquisites


a.	Executive Health Exam

Additional Severance Benefits: If you elect the Additional Severance Benefits and if you have not already received your annual Executive Health Exam in the calendar year in which your Severance Date occurs, you may still receive the exam for up to the earlier of three months following the Separation Date or the end of the calendar year in which the Separation Date occurs. Note, however, that because you are considered a “specified employee” under Section 409A, reimbursements for an Executive Health Exam after the Separation Date will be subject to a six-month delay from the Separation Date, and so any such reimbursements will be payable to you no earlier than the seventh month following the Separation Date.

Basic Severance: If you do not elect the Additional Severance Benefits, your eligibility for an Executive Health Exam will end on the Separation Date.


b.	Financial Planning and Tax Preparation

Regardless of whether or not you elect the Additional Severance Benefits, your eligibility for Financial Planning and Tax Preparation will end on the Separation Date.

Your receipt of the above perquisite(s) is subject to the following rules: (x) to the extent that any such perquisite is provided via reimbursement to you, no such reimbursement will be made by Avon later than the end of the year following the year in which the underlying expense is incurred; (y) any such perquisite provided by Avon in any year will not be affected by the amount of any such perquisite provided by Avon in any other year; and (z) under no circumstances will you be permitted to liquidate or exchange any such perquisite for cash or any other benefit.


10.	Your Obligations to Avon

Additional Severance Benefits: Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, in consideration of your election of the Additional Severance Benefits, you further agree to the following:

Confidentiality: You agree to keep and hold in strict trust all Confidential Information that you obtained or generated during or as a result of your employment at Avon. You promise not to knowingly use, disclose, copy, distribute or reverse-engineer, directly or through persons interposed, without Avon’s prior written consent (which may only be provided by the Chief Executive Officer), as and from this date, and at any time, Avon’s Confidential Information. For this purpose, “Confidential Information” means any secret, confidential, and/or proprietary information or knowledge relating to Avon or related to any of Avon’s affiliated companies, and/or their respective businesses, agents, employees, customers and independent sales representatives, that is not generally known to the public. Such Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, financial information and projections, marketing information and plans, product formulations, samples, processes, production methods, intellectual property and trade secrets, data, know-how, sales, market development programs and plans, and other types of information not generally known to the public, including non-public unpublished or pending patent applications and all related patent rights, techniques, formulae, processes, discoveries, improvements, ideas, conceptions, compilations of data, and developments, whether or not patentable and whether or not copyrightable. Notwithstanding your confidentiality obligations, you are permitted to disclose Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed by you pursuant to judicial order or other legal mandate, provided that you have given Avon prompt notice of the disclosure requirement, and that you fully cooperate with any efforts by

Avon to obtain and comply with any protective order imposed on such disclosure.

In accordance with the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, you are hereby notified by Avon that you will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (i) is made (x) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and (y) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding. You are further notified by Avon that, if you file a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law, then you may disclose the employer’s trade secrets to your attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if you: (A) file any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (B) do not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

Use of Confidential Information: You agree that you will not use Avon’s Confidential Information in connection with any publicity, advertising, endorsement or other promotion. You further agree not to use Avon’s trademarks, logos, service marks or other intellectual property in any form of advertising, publicity or release without Avon’s prior written approval. You understand that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent lawful communications regarding working conditions, or other terms and conditions of employment protected under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act or applicable state law.

Non-solicitation: You will not, without Avon’s prior written consent (which may only be provided by the Chief Executive Officer), during the Salary Continuation Period, directly or indirectly hire, solicit, or aid in the solicitation of, any employee of Avon or an affiliated company, including any solicitation or recruitment of such employee to take him or her away from or to leave his or her Avon employment to work for any other employer or other entity.

Non-competition: Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, you will not, during the Salary Continuation Period, without Avon’s prior written consent (which may only be provided by the Chief Executive Officer), accept employment with, or act as a consultant or independent contractor to, any company engaged in the direct selling business or beauty business within or without the United States including, but not limited to, the following: Amway

If you provide such consultation during the Salary Continuation Period, Avon will only reimburse you for reasonable related out-of-pocket expenses. If you provide such consultation after the Salary Continuation Period ends, you shall be paid at your current salary rate, and in accordance with applicable law, for time expended by you at Avon’s request on such matters, and shall also receive reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such assistance. Any time spent related to this paragraph shall be structured, to the extent practicable and reasonable, in a manner to minimize disruption to your ability to fulfill any other professional and personal commitments you may have from time to time. You understand that, with respect to any consultation services provided by you under this paragraph, you will not be credited with any compensation, service or age credit for purposes of eligibility, vesting, or benefit accrual under any employee benefit plan of Avon, unless such employee benefit plan otherwise expressly and specifically provides for such credit.


f.	By signing this Agreement and, if applicable, the Second General Release, you acknowledge that you understand that violations of any of the preceding covenants of Paragraph 10 are material and that any violations may result in a

forfeiture, at Avon’s sole, but reasonable, discretion, of your benefits and payments under this Agreement in excess of the Basic Severance (including salary continuation, whether or not already paid), but do not relieve you of your continuing obligations under this Agreement. You agree that Avon’s remedies at law for any breach by you of the preceding covenants will be inadequate and that Avon will also have the right to obtain immediate injunctive relief, without a bond, so as to prevent any continued breach of any of these covenants, in addition to any other available legal remedies. It is understood that any remedy available at law or in equity shall be available to Avon should the preceding covenants be breached.

By signing this Agreement and the Second General Release, if applicable, to the fullest extent allowed by law, you agree not to commence, join, participate in, or assist any lawsuit, action, investigation or proceeding arising from or relating to any act or omission by any of the “Avon Released Parties” (as that term is defined both in this Agreement in Paragraph 19 below and, if applicable, in the Second General Release) unless you are compelled by law to do so and you also agree not to recover or seek to recover any damages, backpay or other monetary relief as part of any action or class action brought by any other individual, the EEOC, or any other civil rights or governmental agency.


11.	E-Mail and Voicemail: You acknowledge and understand that your access to Avon’s e-mail and voicemail, as well as other communication systems, will be discontinued as of the Separation Date.

12.

Return of Avon Property: On or before the Separation Date, you agree to promptly deliver to Avon, and not keep in your possession, duplicate, or deliver to any other person or entity, any and all property (whether in hard copy, physical form, or electronic form) that belongs to Avon or any of its affiliated companies, including, without limitation, automobiles, computer hardware and software, cell phones, Blackberrys, iPhones, Androids, other smartphones, iPads, other tablets, thumb drives, other electronic equipment, keys, credit cards, identification cards, records, files, data, and other documents and information, including any and all copies of the foregoing.


13.	Employment Inquiries: You understand and agree that, in the event Avon receives any inquiries from your prospective employers, it shall be the policy of Avon to respond by advising that Avon’s policy is to provide information only as to service dates and positions held.

14.

Entire Agreement and Amendments to Agreement: You acknowledge that the only consideration for your execution and non-revocation of this Agreement (which includes a general release of claims) and, if applicable, your execution and non-revocation of the Second General Release are the benefits which are expressly stated in this document. All other promises or agreements of any kind, including but not limited to, your employment offer letter agreement with Avon dated January 23, 2015, that have been made by or between the parties or by any other person or entity whatsoever that are related to the subject matter of this Agreement are superseded, revoked and cancelled by this Agreement, except that any arbitration, nondisclosure, intellectual property protection, non-solicit, non-compete or classified information provisions and/or agreements with the Company continue to apply in accordance with their terms (and the greater protection to Avon applies in the event of any conflict between this Agreement and such other agreements) and any plans, equity award agreements, or policies that are referenced in this Agreement as continuing to be applicable (including, without limitation, the Company’s “Associate Arbitration Policy”) are not superseded and will remain in effect. In addition, any compensation recoupment provisions, practices or policies will continue to apply, as applicable. You agree that this Agreement and, if applicable, the Second General Release, may not be changed orally, by email, or by any other form of electronic communication, but only by a written agreement signed by both you and an authorized representative of Avon.

15.

Severability: You agree that the provisions of this Agreement and, if applicable, the Second General Release, are severable. If a provision or any part of a provision is held to be invalid under any law or ruling, all of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and, if applicable, the Second General Release will remain in full force and effect and be enforceable to the extent allowed by law. If any restriction contained in this Agreement or, if applicable, the Second General Release is held to be excessively broad as to duration, activity, or scope, then you agree that such restriction may be construed, “blue-penciled” or judicially modified so as to be limited or reduced to the extent required to be enforceable under applicable law.

16.

Voluntary Nature: You are not required to elect the Additional Severance Benefits. Any election to do so by you is completely voluntary. By signing this Agreement and, if applicable, the Second General Release, you warrant and represent that you have read this entire Agreement and, if applicable, the Second General Release, that you have had an opportunity to consult fully with an attorney, and that you fully understand the meaning and intent of this Agreement and, if applicable, the Second General Release. Further, you knowingly and

voluntarily, of your own free will, without any duress, being fully informed, and after due deliberation, accept its terms and sign below as your own free act. You understand that as a result of executing this Agreement and, if applicable, the Second General Release, you will not have the right to assert that Avon or any other Avon Released Party (as defined both in this Agreement in Paragraph 19 below and, if applicable, in the Second General Release) unlawfully terminated your employment or violated any of your rights in connection with your employment.

17.

Governing Law: You agree that this Agreement (which includes a general release of claims) and, if applicable, the Second General Release will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of laws principles, and federal law where applicable. Any legal action to enforce this Agreement, and, if applicable the Second General Release, by either party, shall be subject to arbitration in accordance with Avon’s “Associate Arbitration Policy”. To the extent that Avon is seeking equitable relief to enforce your obligations under this Agreement, Avon may seek such relief as provided in the Paragraph above entitled Your Obligations to Avon in any federal, state or local court in any jurisdiction.

18.

Election Not to Accept the Additional Severance Benefits: Should you elect not to accept the Additional Severance Benefits, you will be provided only with the Basic Severance (two weeks of base salary, less applicable withholdings) and continued coverage under certain Avon benefit plans during that period (or, for some plans, until the last day of the month in which such payments end, in accordance with the terms of such plans (which control in the event of any discrepancy herein)). Following this two-week salary continuation period, you will be notified by a separate letter of your right to elect continued group health plan coverage, at your own expense, under COBRA, as applicable.


19.	General Release of Claims

provided, that you do not release or discharge the Avon Released Parties: (x) from any Claims arising after the date on which you execute this Agreement (except, where applicable, you later execute and do not revoke the Second General Release); (y) from any Claims for a breach by Avon of its obligations

under this Agreement; or (z) from any Claims that by law cannot be released or waived. It is understood that the release herein does not release the Avon employee benefit plans from any claims for vested benefits that you have under the terms of any of Avon’s employee benefit plans applicable to you. It is further understood that nothing in this General Release of Claims shall preclude or prevent you from challenging the validity of this General Release of Claims solely with respect to any waiver of any Claims arising under the ADEA after the date on which you execute this General Release of Claims.

Nothing in this Agreement is to be construed as an admission on behalf of the Avon Released Parties of any wrongdoing with respect to you, any such wrongdoing being expressly denied.

You represent and warrant that you have not filed any complaint, charge, claim, or proceeding against any of the Avon Released Parties before any federal, state, or local agency, court, or other body relating to your employment and the cessation thereof or to any claim released in this Agreement, and that you are not currently aware of any facts or basis for filing such a complaint, charge, claim, or proceeding against any of the Avon Released Parties.

If you are employed in, or, were formerly employed in the State of California, you additionally acknowledge that you are aware of and familiar with the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides as follows:

“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the general release which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”

If you are employed in, or, were formerly employed in the State of California, by signing this Agreement, you hereby waive and relinquish all rights and benefits which you may have under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code and under

the law of any other state or jurisdiction to the same or similar effect. You represent and warrant that you have the authority to enter into this general release on your behalf individually and to bind all persons and entities claiming through you.

You acknowledge: (w) that you are receiving valuable consideration in exchange for your execution of this Agreement, and if applicable, the Second General Release, that you would not otherwise be entitled to receive; (x) that you were given at least twenty-one (21) days in which to consider this Agreement and the Second General Release; (y) that any changes made to this Agreement, whether material or immaterial, will not restart the twenty-one (21) day consideration period; and (z) that you are entitled to revoke this Agreement and the Second General Release (if applicable) in writing, within seven (7) days after you sign each, respectively. Such revocation must be delivered to the Company as provided herein within the applicable seven (7)-day period, in which case you will receive no benefits other than Basic Severance and neither this Agreement, nor your election to accept the Additional Severance Benefits, will go into effect.


20.	Additional Representations

You acknowledge that you have been paid in full (or will be paid in full pursuant to the Company’s normal payroll practice policy) for all hours that you have worked for Avon, that you have properly reported all hours worked, and that other than what is provided for in this Agreement (and under the terms and conditions of the employee benefit plans and equity agreements and plans referenced herein), you have no other rights to any other compensation or benefits.


b.	You further acknowledge that you have not been denied any leave requested under the Family and Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”) or applicable state leave laws and that, to the extent applicable, you have been returned to your job, or an equivalent position, following any FMLA or state leave taken pursuant to the FMLA or state laws.


c.	You acknowledge, understand and agree that you have reported (or will timely report for occurrences that occur after the date that you sign this Agreement) to Avon any work related injury or illness that occurred up to and including the Separation Date.


d.	You acknowledge and certify that you have complied with Avon’s Code of Conduct (the “Code”) and its principles, and you agree to continue to comply with the Code through the Separation Date.


21.	Reservation of Certain Rights

You understand that nothing in this Agreement is intended, and nothing in this Agreement will be construed, to prevent, interfere with, or otherwise restrict communications or actions protected or required by applicable law, including the legitimate exercise of any Section 7 rights under the NLRA that you may have during your employment with Avon (such as discussing terms and conditions of employment and other workplace conditions).

Protection of Whistleblower Rights: This Agreement is not intended to, and shall be interpreted in a manner that does not, limit or restrict you from exercising any legally protected rights that you may have under any applicable statutes, regulations and rules intended to protect whistleblowers (including pursuant to Rule 21F under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).


22.	Compliance with Laws/Tax Treatment: Avon will comply with all payroll/tax withholding requirements and will include in income these benefits as required by law. Avon cannot guarantee the tax treatment of any of these benefits and makes no representation regarding the tax treatment.

23.

Internal Revenue Code Section 409A: The parties hereto have a made a good faith effort to comply with current guidance under Section 409A. The intent of the parties hereto is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with or be exempt from Section 409A and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith, including, without limitation, that references to “termination of employment” and like terms, with respect to payments and benefits that are provided under a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” (as defined in Section 409A) that is not exempt from Section 409A, will be interpreted to mean “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A). In the event that amendments to this Agreement are necessary in order to comply with Section 409A or to minimize or eliminate any income inclusion and penalties under Section 409A (e.g., under any document or operational correction program), Avon and you agree to negotiate in good faith the applicable terms of such amendments and to implement such negotiated amendments, on a prospective and/or retroactive basis, as needed. To the extent that any amount payable or benefit to be provided under this Agreement constitutes an amount payable or benefit to be provided under a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” (as defined in Section 409A) that is not exempt from Section 409A, and such amount or benefit is payable or to be provided as a result of a “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A), and you are a specified employee (as defined in Section 409A and determined pursuant to procedures adopted by Avon from time to time) on your separation

from service date, then, notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, such payment or benefit will not be made or provided to you during the six (6) month period following your separation from service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Avon makes no representation to you about the effect of Section 409A on the provisions of this Agreement and Avon shall have no liability to you in the event that you become subject to taxation under Section 409A (other than any tax reporting and/or withholding obligations that Avon may have under applicable law).

24.

Advice of Counsel: You acknowledge that you have been and are hereby advised by Avon to consult with an attorney about this Agreement and its General Release of Claims (and, if applicable, the Second General Release) prior to signing (at your own expense) and you represent that you did so to the extent that you deemed appropriate or you knowingly and voluntarily waived your right to do so. You represent and warrant that you fully understand the terms of this Agreement and its General Release of Claims (and, if applicable, the Second General Release), and you knowingly and voluntarily, of your own free will, without any duress, being fully informed, and after due deliberation, accept its terms and sign below as your own free act. You understand that, as a result of signing this Agreement and, if applicable, the Second General Release, you will not have the right to assert that Avon or any other Avon Released Party unlawfully terminated your employment or violated any of your rights in connection with your employment.

25.

Challenge to the Validity of the Agreement and Communication with Government Agency: Nothing in this Agreement: (y) limits or affects your right to challenge the validity of the General Release of Claims under the ADEA or the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act; or (z) precludes you from filing an administrative charge or otherwise communicating with any federal, state or local government office, official or agency. However, you promise and agree never to seek or accept any damages or other legal remedies, or any equitable remedies or relief (including, without limitation, relief that would provide you with reinstatement to employment with Avon), and hereby waive any right to recovery of any such damages, remedies or other relief for you personally with respect to any claim released by Paragraph 19, regardless of whether another person or entity or you initiate the underlying action related to the Claim. You also promise and agree not to voluntarily offer to be a witness and/or voluntarily provide evidence in support of any lawsuit brought by a third party (excluding governmental agencies) against Avon or the Avon Released Parties (as defined in the General Release of Claims above).

26.

Permissible Time to Sign Agreement and Possible Second General Release. If you do not sign this Agreement and return it to Avon within twenty-one (21) days after the date on which you receive this Agreement and, if applicable, if you do not sign the Second General Release and return it within twenty-one (21) days following the Separation Date, then the offer of Additional Severance Benefits described herein will expire and you will not be entitled to any Additional Severance Benefits beyond the Basic Severance. As long as you sign and return this Agreement within this time period, you will have seven (7) days immediately after the date of your signature to revoke your decision by delivering, within the seven (7) day period, written notice of revocation to the Senior Vice President, Human Resources. If you do not revoke your decision during that seven (7)-day period, then this Agreement will become effective on the eighth (8th) day. Note that similar consideration and revocation rules apply to the Second General Release (except that the consideration period begins on the Separation Date and the revocation period begins on the date you sign the Second General Release). If you timely sign and return this Agreement and, if applicable, the Second General Release and do not revoke the Agreement, and, if applicable, the Second General Release, each will become effective, respectively, on the day following the expiration of their respective seven (7)-day revocation periods.

You understand that the present offer of the Additional Severance Benefits is made without prejudice and is conditional upon its unqualified acceptance and compliance with the execution and delivery requirements described above for this Agreement, and, if applicable, for the Second General Release. Note that the Agreement includes an agreement regarding your ongoing obligation to protect and preserve the confidentiality of the Confidential Information obtained or accessed while you were in the employ of Avon.

Your signature below signifies your voluntary acceptance of the terms of this Agreement, its confidentiality clauses and your election to receive the Additional Severance Benefits, which benefits you acknowledge are in excess and in lieu of those provided under Avon’s regular severance pay plan(s) and policies.

A duplicate copy of this Agreement and the Second General Release is attached for your files. Please sign and date both copies of this Agreement, in the spaces provided, returning one copy to Avon and retaining the other copy for your records. If you elect not to accept the Additional Severance Benefits, please notify Avon, in writing, as soon as practicable of your decision. Your failure to timely return the executed Agreement, and if applicable, the Second General Release, will be treated as your failure to elect the Additional Severance Benefits.

I acknowledge that Avon has advised me, and hereby advises me, to consult with legal counsel prior to signing the Agreement and the Second General Release.
