Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to the Transaction Agreement, dated as of July 8, 2015 (the “Transaction Agreement”), by and among The Procter & Xxxxxx Company, Galleria Co., Coty Inc. and Green Acquisition Sub Inc. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this letter agreement have the meanings ascribed to them in the Transaction Agreement.

Each of the Parties agrees as follows:

1. Share Repurchase Program.

(a) Section 5.06 of the Acquiror Disclosure Letter is hereby amended such that the following disclosure will be added as a new Paragraph 7:

7. Subject to compliance with all applicable Laws, Acquiror may repurchase shares of Class A Common Stock (any such shares repurchased, the “Repurchased Shares”) in open-market purchases pursuant to a valid trading plan adopted under Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act, which plan will be adopted by August 21, 2015 (and such plan will not be subsequently amended without the consent of Parent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and which purchases may take place at any time or from time to time after such date of adoption and through the 30^th calendar day prior to the Commencement Date (and any Repurchased Shares may be retired or extinguished), provided that (a) the aggregate repurchase price therefor will not exceed $750.0 million and (b) all such purchases will be effected in a manner that satisfies all of the conditions set forth in clauses (1)-(4) of sub-paragraph (b) of Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

(b) Article XI is hereby amended such that the following definition is added to such Article:

“Repurchased Shares” has the meaning set forth in Section 5.06 of the Acquiror Disclosure Letter.

2. Other Transaction Agreement and Exhibit Amendments. The Transaction Agreement and exhibits thereto are hereby amended as follows:

(a) The definition of “Fully Diluted Basis” is hereby amended so as to add in the text indicated below in bold underline:

“Fully Diluted Basis” means, in each case as of the date on which the Galleria Stock Amount is determined:

(a) the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock that are outstanding on such date (provided that, for purposes of this determination, any Repurchased Shares will be deemed to constitute outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock), plus

be converted into Class A Common Stock as contemplated by the JAB Letter Agreement) of any nature whatsoever, whether contingent, vested or unvested, or otherwise (and without giving effect to any “cashless exercise” or similar features);

in each case other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the shares of the Acquiror New Common Stock issued or to be issued in the Merger. A sample calculation of Fully Diluted Basis is attached hereto as Exhibit Q.

(b) Section 4.05(f)(i) of the Transaction Agreement is hereby amended so as to add in the text indicated below in bold underline:

(f) As of the date on which the Galleria Stock Amount is calculated through the Closing Date, the Fully Diluted Basis will be equal to:

(i) 374,890,092, representing the aggregate number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock and Acquiror Options outstanding as of the date hereof (it being understood that any Repurchased Shares will be deemed to constitute outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock for purposes of the calculation of the Fully Diluted Basis), plus

(c) Exhibit E (Minimum Tender Condition Formula) and Exhibit Q (Sample Calculation of Fully Diluted Basis) are each hereby amended such that the following sentence will be added to the bottom of each Exhibit:

In the event that there are any Repurchased Shares, all such Repurchased Shares will be deemed to constitute outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, and therefore will be included in the calculation of “Fully Diluted Basis,” consistent with the definition thereof. For example, if there were originally 98,799,798 outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, and 20,000,000 of those shares are repurchased by Acquiror in connection with the activities contemplated by Paragraph 7 of Section 5.06 of the Acquiror Disclosure Letter, those 20,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock will continue to be deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of the calculations reflected on this Exhibit (and therefore there will continue to be 98,799,798 shares of Class A Common Stock that are deemed to be outstanding).

(d) Prior to execution of the Tax Matters Agreement, Section 4.01(d)(ii)(t) of the form of the Tax Matters Agreement attached as Exhibit H to the Transaction Agreement will be amended as follows: “(t) all repurchases by Acquiror or any Affiliate of Acquiror stock (other than any such repurchases permitted by the letter agreement, dated as of August 13, 2015, among the Parties) have been unrelated to the Transactions”.

3. Effect of Letter Agreement. This letter agreement constitutes a valid amendment of the Transaction Agreement (including Exhibit E, Exhibit Q and Section 5.06 of the Acquiror Disclosure Letter) as contemplated by Section 10.06 of the Transaction Agreement. Except as and to the extent expressly modified by this letter agreement, the Transaction Agreement, as so amended by this letter agreement, will remain in full force and effect in all respects. Each reference to “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby” and “this Agreement” in the Transaction Agreement will from and after the effective date hereof refer to the Transaction Agreement as amended by this letter agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this letter agreement, the date of the Transaction Agreement, as amended hereby, will in all instances remain as July 8, 2015, and any references in the Transaction Agreement to “the date first above written,” “the date of this Agreement,” “the date hereof” and similar references will continue to refer to July 8, 2015, including, without limitation, for purposes of Article III and Article IV of the Transaction Agreement.

4. Entire Agreement. This letter agreement, together with the Transaction Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, including any related annexes, schedules and exhibits, as well as any other agreements and documents referred to herein and therein, will together constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and will supersede all prior

negotiations, agreements and understandings of the Parties of any nature, whether oral or written, with respect to such subject matter.

5. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. Sections 10.04(a), (b) and (c) (Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial), in each case, of the Transaction Agreement are incorporated into this letter agreement by reference as if fully set forth herein, mutatis mutandis.

6. Notices. All notices, requests, permissions, waivers and other communications hereunder will be in writing and sent pursuant to the requirements of Section 10.05 of the Transaction Agreement.

7. No Third-Party Beneficiaries.

This letter agreement, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or other electronic transmission, will be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement and will be considered to have the same binding legal effects as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person.

2. Other Transaction Agreement and Exhibit Amendments. The Transaction Agreement and exhibits thereto are hereby amended as follows:

(a) The definition of “Fully Diluted Basis” is hereby amended so as to add in the text indicated below in bold underline:

“Fully Diluted Basis” means, in each case as of the date on which the Galleria Stock Amount is determined:

(a) the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock that are outstanding on such date (provided that, for purposes of this determination, any Repurchased Shares and Subsequent Repurchased Shares will be deemed to constitute outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock), plus

(b) the aggregate number of Acquiror Equity Interests, other than Series A Preferred Stock, that are outstanding on such date (including restricted stock units, Phantom Units, Acquiror Options and any shares of Class B Common Stock that will be converted into Class A Common Stock as contemplated by the JAB Letter Agreement) of any nature whatsoever, whether contingent, vested or unvested, or otherwise (and without giving effect to any “cashless exercise” or similar features);

Without limiting the generality of Section 6.04(b), with respect to Continuing Employees who, as of immediately prior to the Closing, receive specific expatriate payments or benefits from Parent or its Subsidiaries (an “Expatriate Package,” and each such employee, an “Expatriate Employee”), the terms and conditions of employment to be presented to each such Expatriate Employee pursuant to Section 6.02(b) will be consistent with one of subsections (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 6.04(g). The obligations of Acquiror and SplitCo pursuant to Section 6.04(a) will continue to apply in the case of any Expatriate Employee, provided that, where applicable, an Expatriate Employee’s primary place of employment after the transfer contemplated by subsection (i) or (iii) of this Section 6.04(g) will be deemed to be the Expatriate Employee’s “primary place of employment immediately prior to the Closing” for purposes of Section 6.04(a).

(i) An offer made in accordance with this subsection will provide for the transfer, as soon as practicable following the Closing Date, of the Expatriate Employee’s primary place of employment to a location in his or her home country, provided that, during the Continuation Period, Acquiror and SplitCo will cause the Galleria Group to maintain a comparable Expatriate Package for the Expatriate Employee until the Expatriate Employee is returned to his or her home country and to pay the costs of repatriation for such Expatriate Employee to the same extent and on the same terms as provided for in Acquiror’s relocation policies applicable to similarly-situated employees of Acquiror and its Affiliates (a “Repatriation Offer”).

(ii) An offer made in accordance with this subsection will provide for the Expatriate Employee to be localized, as soon as practicable following the Closing Date, in the Expatriate Employee’s current host country pursuant to Acquiror’s localization policies applicable to similarly-situated employees of Acquiror and its Affiliates, provided that, during the Continuation Period, Acquiror and SplitCo will cause the Galleria Group to maintain a comparable Expatriate Package for the Expatriate Employee until the Expatriate Employee

is localized (a “Localization Offer”).

(iii) An offer made in accordance with this subsection will provide for the transfer, as soon as practicable following the Closing Date, of the Expatriate Employee’s primary place of employment to a location in a new host country in which the Expatriate Employee will be localized pursuant to Acquiror’s localization policies applicable to similarly-situated employees of Acquiror and its Affiliates, provided that, during the Continuation Period, Acquiror and SplitCo will cause the Galleria Group to maintain a comparable Expatriate Package for the Expatriate Employee until such transfer and to pay the costs of such transfer to the same extent and on the same terms as provided for in Acquiror’s relocation policies applicable to similarly-situated employees of Acquiror and its Affiliates (a “Transfer Offer”).

In the case of an Expatriate Employee who accepts a Repatriation Offer, the requirements of Section 6.04(b)(i) and Section 6.04(d) (including the amount of any Compensation Gap) will be determined without regard to the Expatriate Employee’s Expatriate Package and as if the Expatriate Employee had been returned to his or her home country immediately prior to the Closing. In the case of an Expatriate Employee who accepts a Localization Offer, the requirements of Section 6.04(b)(i) and Section 6.04(d) (including the amount of any Compensation Gap) will be determined after taking into account the Expatriate Employee’s Expatriate Package as part of the total direct compensation and employee benefits provided by Parent and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing. In the case of an Expatriate Employee who accepts a Transfer Offer, the requirements of Section 6.04(b)(i) and Section 6.04(d) (including the amount of any Compensation Gap) will be determined without regard to the Expatriate Employee’s Expatriate Package and as if the Expatriate Employee had been returned to his or her home country immediately prior to the Closing and will be determined in a manner that makes the Expatriate Employee whole (on a net after-Tax basis) for any variations in income tax treatment, cost of living and cost of housing between the employee’s former home country and new home/host country. In addition, with respect to any Expatriate Employee who rejects an offer of employment made pursuant to Section 6.02(b), any Liabilities arising from the resulting termination of such employee from employment with any member of the Parent Group or the Galleria Group will be Galleria Liabilities and will be the sole responsibility of Acquiror. Acquiror and SplitCo will be responsible for all costs and expenses arising from the rejection of such an offer of employment by an Expatriate Employee, including any costs arising from the recruitment and hiring of a new employee to fill that Expatriate Employee’s role. For clarity, in no event will SplitCo or Acquiror’s obligations under this Section 6.04(g) extend beyond the Continuation Period.


b.	Article XI of the Agreement is hereby amended so as to add the following defined terms:

“Localization Offer” has the meaning set forth in Section 6.04(g).

“Repatriation Offer” has the meaning set forth in Section 6.04(g).

“Transfer Offer” has the meaning set forth in Section 6.04(g).


c.	Section 6.04(g) of the Parent Disclosure Letter is hereby deleted in its entirety.

Section 1.19 Galleria Business Acquired Plans. The Agreement is hereby amended to add Exhibit R, as set forth on Attachment D hereto, and Schedule 1.05(a)(xiii) of the Parent Disclosure Letter is hereby amended to delete paragraph 1 and replace it with the following:


a.	Acquiror or its Affiliates shall assume the Galleria Business Acquired Plans. The “Galleria Business Acquire Plans” shall be the plans set forth on Exhibit R to the Agreement.
