UTUAL AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE CLAIMS Page 1 of 4
SALLY BEAUTY HOLDINGS, INC.
WORKPLACE RESOLUTION PROGRAM AND
MUTUAL AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE CLAIMS
1. INTRODUCTION
This Workplace Resolution Program and Mutual Agreement
to Arbitrate Claims (“Agreement” or “Program”) is between
me and the Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc. affiliate I am
employed by
1
(the “Company”). Any reference to the
“Company” in this Agreement will be a reference also to
Company’s parents, subsidiaries, partners, divisions, and
affiliated entities (including without limitation Beauty
Systems Group LLC), and all successors, assigns, officers,
directors, employees, and agents of any of them. The Federal
Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.) shall govern this
Agreement, which evidences a transaction involving
commerce. All disputes covered by this Agreement
between me and the Companyshall be decided by an
arbitrator through arbitration and not by way of court or
jury trial.
2. DISPUTES COVERED BY THE AGREEMENT
The Company and I mutually consent and agree to the
resolution by arbitration of all claims or controversies, past,
present, or future (“Disputes”), including without limitation,
claims arising out of or related to my application for
assignment/employment, assignment/employment, and/or the
termination of my assignment/employment that the Company
may have against me or that I may have against any of the
following: (1) the Company, (2) its officers, directors,
employees, or agents in their capacity as such or otherwise, (3)
the Company's parent, subsidiary, and affiliated entities, (4)
the benefit plans or the plans' sponsors, fiduciaries,
administrators, affiliates, and agents, and/or (5) all successors
and assigns of any of them.
Further, covered Disputes include any claim or controversy
regarding the Agreement or any portion of the Agreement or
its interpretation, enforceability, applicability,
unconscionability, arbitrability, or formation, or whether the
Agreement or any portion of the Agreement is void or
voidable, with the exception noted in Section 7, below, the
“Class and Representative Action Waivers.”
The claims that are subject to arbitration under this Agreement
are those that, in the absence of this Agreement, would have
been justiciable under applicable state, federal, or other law.
Except as otherwise provided, this Agreement covers all
claims that either the Company or I could bring arising out of
or relating to my employment relationship with the Company,
including, but not limited to: (i) discrimination based on race,
creed, color, religion, sex, age, disability, leave status, national
origin, ancestry, sexual orientation, marital status, veteran or
military reserve status, privacy, or any other characteristic
protected by federal, state, or local law, (ii) retaliation,
including, but not limited to, whistleblower status or
retaliation for filing a workers' compensation claim, (iii) torts,
including, but not limited to, defamation, invasion of privacy,
infliction of emotional distress, or workplace injury not
otherwise covered by applicable workers' compensation laws,
1
Which may be Sally Beauty Supply LLC, Beauty Systems Group LLC,
Sally Beauty Distribution LLC, Sally Beauty Distribution of Ohio, Inc.,
Sally Beauty de Puerto Rico, Inc. or Armstrong McCall, L.P.
(iv) all employment related laws, including, but not limited to,
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Civil Rights Acts and
amendments of 1866, 1871 and 1991, the Age Discrimination
in Employment Act, the Older Workers Benefit Protection
Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Equal Pay Act,
the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, the Family
and Medical Leave Act, the Worker Adjustment Retraining
and Notification Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, and any
amendments to these laws, and any such related or similar
state or local laws, (v) any federal, state, or local law or
common law doctrine for breach of contract, promissory
estoppel, wrongful discharge, or conversion, (vi) claims for
interference with rights under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), or other
claims concerning administration of ERISA plans not
excluded below, and (vii) claims under federal or state law
regarding wages (including without limitation claims for pay,
minimum wage, and overtime), wage penalties, meal and rest
breaks, classification, reimbursement of expenses,
compensation, stock or incentive bonus plans, or intellectual
property rights and associated laws.
3.
CLAIMS NOT COVERED BY THE AGREEMENT
I agree that the following claims are not considered as a
covered Dispute and are excluded under the Agreement: (i)
Workers’ Compensation benefit claims; (ii) state
unemployment or disability insurance compensation claims;
(iii) claims for benefits under employee benefit plans covered
by ERISA that contain an appeal procedure or other exclusive
and/or binding dispute resolution procedure in the respective
plan; (iv) claims under the National Labor Relations Act
within the jurisdiction of the National Labor Relations Board;
and (v) claims that the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act or other controlling federal statutes
bar from the coverage of mandatory pre-dispute arbitration
agreements.
The Company and I may apply to a court of competent
jurisdiction for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in
connection with an arbitrable controversy, but only upon the
ground that the award to which that party may be entitled
would be ineffectual without such provisional relief; provided,
however, that all issues of final relief shall be decided in
arbitration, and the pursuit of the temporary or preliminary
injunctive relief described herein shall not constitute a waiver
of rights under this Agreement.
4. VOLUNTARY PRE-ARBITRATION OPTIONS
a.Informal Resolution and Open Door Policy
This Agreement does not in any way prevent me or the
Company from using informal avenues to raise or resolve
concerns—including Disputes that are covered under this
Agreement. I understand that I may raise concerns with my
managers. Many times addressing concerns with my
immediate manager will lead to a resolution. If I feel
uncomfortable raising concerns with my immediate manager,
or my manager does not respond to my concerns, I may raise
the concerns with my manager’s supervisor—including my

District Manager or Regional Manager. I also am encouraged
to bring concerns to the attention of the Company’s Human
Resources Department pursuant to the Company’s Open Door
Policy.
b.Pre-Arbitration Human Resources Review
Prior to initiating arbitration of a covered dispute, the
Company encourages me to submit a complaint letter to the
Vice President of Human Resources at: Pre-Arbitration
Complaint Intake, Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc., 3001 Colorado
Blvd., Denton, Texas 76210. The complaint letter shall
clearly state “Pre-Arbitration Complaint Letter” and should
briefly identify the nature of the complaint and potential legal
claim. The Vice President of Human Resources will appoint a
senior Human Resources professional to investigate my
complaint and attempt to provide me with a written response
within thirty (30) days of the date that I submit the complaint.
I understand that I am not required to submit such a complaint
before pursuing arbitration, but that this is an option that may
permit the Company to resolve my issue prior to engaging in
the arbitration process.
c.Mediation
Mediation is a voluntary, non-binding process where a neutral
third-party (a mediator) works with the parties to reach a
mutually agreeable settlement of the Dispute. If a settlement
is not reached, the mediator has no authority to impose one. I
may request Mediation by making a written request for
mediation of a Dispute to the Company’s Legal Department,
currently at: Mediation Intake, Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc.,
3001 Colorado Blvd., Denton, Texas 76210. If the Company
requests mediation, it will make a written request at the last
home address I provided in writing to the Company. Both
parties must mutually agree to mediation before any mediation
occurs, and neither party has any obligation under this
Agreement to mediate a Dispute. Mediation is completely
voluntary and is not a prerequisite to arbitration of a Dispute.
The Company will pay all of the fees and costs of pre-
arbitration Mediation.
Statute of Limitations: To the extent I initiate Pre-Arbitration
Human Resources Review or the Company and I agree to
Mediation, as outlined in the above paragraphs, the applicable
statute of limitations for my legal claims is tolled during the
course of those processes. In other words, if those processes
are initiated, the deadline for the filing of my claims is
extended by the length of time it takes for those processes to
be conducted.
5. HOW TO INITIATE ARBITRATION OF COVERED
DISPUTES
The Company and I agree that the aggrieved party must make
a written “Request for Arbitration” of any claim to the other
party no later than the expiration of the statute of limitations
(deadline for filing) that applicable state or federal law
prescribes for the claim. The parties are encouraged to make
the written Request for Arbitration of any claim as soon as
possible after the event or events in dispute so that arbitration
of any differences may take place promptly.
A written Request for Arbitration to the Company or its
officers, directors, employees, or agents shall be sent to its
Legal Department, currently at: Arbitration Intake, Sally
Beauty Holdings, Inc., 3001 Colorado Blvd., Denton, Texas
76210. I will be sent a written Request for Arbitration at the
last home address I provided in writing to the Company. The
Request For Arbitration shall, unless otherwise required by
law, clearly state “Request For Arbitration” at the beginning
of the first page and shall identify and describe the nature of
all claims asserted, the facts upon which such claims are
based, and the relief or remedy sought in accordance with
pleading standards applicable to claims for relief under the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The Request for Arbitration
shall be sent to the other party by certified or registered mail,
return receipt requested, and first class mail.
6. THE ROLE OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENCIES
Disputes may be brought before an administrative agency to
the extent applicable law permits access to an agency
notwithstanding an agreement to arbitrate covered Disputes,
including, but not limited to, claims or charges brought before
the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the U.S.
Department of Labor, the National Labor Relations Board, and
the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to: (i) relieve
any party of the duty to exhaust administrative remedies by
filing a charge or complaint with an administrative agency and
obtaining a right to sue notice, where otherwise required by
law, or (ii) prevent either party from cooperating with a
federal or state body as required by law. The Company will
not retaliate against me for filing a claim with an
administrative agency.
7. CLASS AND REPRESENTATIVE ACTION
WAIVERS
THE COMPANY AND I HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT
FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE BROUGHT, HEARD,
DECIDED, OR ARBITRATED AS A CLASS AND/OR
COLLECTIVE ACTION (“Class Action Waiver”).
Notwithstanding any other clause contained in this
Agreement, the preceding sentence shall not be severable from
this Agreement in any instance in which the Dispute is
brought as a class and/or collective action.
THE COMPANY AND I ALSO HEREBY WAIVE ANY
RIGHT FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE BROUGHT, HEARD,
DECIDED, OR ARBITRATED AS A REPRESENTATIVE
ACTION (“Representative Action Waiver”). However, this
Representative Action Waiver may be severed if it would
otherwise render this Agreement unenforceable in any action
brought under a private attorneys general law, and following
severance
the representative action may be brought in a court
of law.
Notwithstanding any other clause or language contained in
this Agreement and/or any rules or procedures that might
otherwise be applicable by virtue of this Agreement or by
virtue of any arbitration organization rules or procedures that
now apply or any amendments and/or modifications to those
rules, any claim that this Class Action Waiver or
Representative Action Waiver, or any portion of this Class
Action Waiver or Representative Action Waiver, is
unenforceable, inapplicable, unconscionable, or void or
voidable, shall be determined only by a court of competent
jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.

Any party may be represented by an attorney selected by the
party. I understand and agree that I have been given the

counsel and have availed myself of that opportunity to the
extent I wish to do so.
9. GOVERNING LAW
The Company and I expressly agree that this Agreement shall
