NOW, THEREFORE, to induce Investor to enter into, and in consideration of Investor’s entering into, the Investment Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

Covenants of the Stockholders

Section 1.01 Voting of Subject Shares. Until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 4.01, each Stockholder agrees as follows:

(a) At any meeting (whether annual or special, and whether or not a reconvened or adjourned meeting) of stockholders of Alberto-Culver, however called, to vote upon the Alberto-Culver Transaction Approval or any other transaction contemplated by the Investment Agreement, or in any other circumstances in which a vote or other approval with respect to the Alberto-Culver Transaction Approval or any other transaction contemplated thereby is sought, each Stockholder shall vote all of its Subject Shares in favor of the Alberto-Culver Transaction Approval and any other transaction contemplated by the Investment Agreement, as applicable, and shall vote all of its Subject Shares in favor of any other actions presented to stockholders of Alberto-Culver that are necessary or desirable in furtherance of the Alberto-Culver Transaction Approval or any other transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement. The agreements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall equally apply if such approvals are sought by the solicitation of written consents.

(b) At any meeting of stockholders of Alberto-Culver (including a reconvened or adjourned meeting) or in any other circumstances in which the Stockholders’ vote, consent or other approval is sought, each Stockholder shall vote all of its Subject Shares against (i) any Alberto-Culver Acquisition Proposal; or (ii) any amendment of Alberto-Culver’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws that is prohibited by the Investment Agreement or any other proposal, action or transaction involving Alberto-Culver or any of its Subsidiaries, which amendment or other proposal, action or transaction would reasonably be expected to in any manner impede, frustrate, prevent or nullify the Investment Agreement, the Alberto-Culver Transaction Approval, the other Transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights of any class of Alberto-Culver capital stock. Each Stockholder further agrees not to commit or agree to take any action inconsistent with the foregoing.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if (i) the Board of Directors of Alberto-Culver shall not have made the Alberto-Culver Recommendation or (ii) the Board of Directors of Alberto-Culver or a committee thereof shall have made a Change in the Alberto-Culver Recommendation (or resolved or publicly proposed to take any such action described in clause (i) or (ii) of this paragraph), the obligations of the Stockholders under Sections 1.01(a) and (b) shall be suspended until such time, if any, as the Board of Directors of Alberto-Culver makes the Alberto-Culver Recommendation or reinstates the Alberto-Culver Recommendation, as the case may be, and, while such obligations are suspended, the Stockholders are not bound by such obligations and may take actions that are inconsistent therewith.

Section 1.02 Restrictions on Voting Arrangements and Transfer. From and after the date hereof and until the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.01, each Stockholder agrees that it will not (a) except for Permitted Transfers effected after the Closing, deposit any of its Subject Shares into a voting trust, grant any proxies, enter into any voting arrangement or understanding, whether by proxy, voting agreement or otherwise, with respect to its Subject Shares (other than as provided herein), or (b) except for Permitted Transfers (which Transfers are not restricted hereby), Transfer (or enter into any agreement, option, understanding, arrangement or “substantial negotiations” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.355-7(h)(1) and -7(e), or any other arrangement with respect to the Transfer of) all or any part of its Subject Shares, or (c) directly or indirectly acquire (or enter into any agreement, option, understanding, arrangement or “substantial negotiations” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.355-7(h)(1) and -7(e), or any other arrangement with respect to the acquisition of) any equity interests in Alberto-Culver (prior to the Closing) or New Sally (after the Closing), except where such acquisition would constitute a Permitted Transfer. For purposes hereof, (i) “Transfer” means to directly or indirectly: sell, buy, transfer, exchange, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of (including by gift) or create any derivative or synthetic interest in, or take any other action treated as a transfer for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (ii) “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (iii) “Permitted Transfer” means any Transfer of Subject Shares to the extent that such Transfer (A) results from the death of any individual (including but not limited to, any pledge, hypothecation, or encumbrance that is part of a security arrangement in a typical lending transaction, where the arrangement is subject to commercial conditions and the proceeds of the loan are used directly or indirectly, in whole or substantial part, to fund costs or expenses that arose or increased as a result of the death of any individual), (B) is a Transfer (1) from any portion of a trust of which a Person (the “Grantor”) is considered the owner under subpart E of Part I of subchapter J of the Code (a “Grantor Trust”) to a Grantor of such trust, (2) from a Grantor Trust to another Grantor Trust having the same Grantor, or (3) from a person to a Grantor Trust with respect to which such person is considered a Grantor, (C) is not taken into account by reason of Section 355(e)(3)(A)(iv) of the

Code, or (D) is pursuant to a Buyout Transaction (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) in which Investor disposes of some or all of its shares of New Sally Common Stock or which Investor has initiated and (iv) “Permitted Transferee” means a person to whom shares of Subject Shares are Transferred in a Permitted Transfer. Prior to commencing any action discussed in the first sentence of this Section 1.02, the applicable Stockholder shall give Investor, Alberto-Culver and New Sally substantially concurrent written notice of such action (or in the case of a Transfer resulting from death, as soon as practicable) and all reasonably relevant details, including the identity of the Transferee, if known. Unless effected in accordance with and as permitted by this Agreement, no attempted Transfer, acquisition, deposit or other transaction discussed in the first sentence of this Section 1.02 shall be recognized or recorded by Alberto-Culver or New Sally, as the case may be, and Alberto-Culver or New Sally, as the case may be, shall instruct transfer agents and other third parties not to record or recognize any such purported transaction and shall recognize no rights of the purported Transferees or other parties to the purported transaction (provided that neither Alberto-Culver nor New Sally will issue a blanket stop transfer instruction); and any such purported transaction shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be null and void ab initio. Any action taken by a Covered Person shall be treated for purposes of this Section 1.02 as having been taken by Carol L. Bernick. “Covered Person” means any person that is not a Stockholder but who, by reason of being treated as an actual or constructive owner of one or more of the Subject Shares, is treated as (x) a “controlling shareholder” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.355-7(h)(3) or (y) a “ten-percent shareholder” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.355-7(h)(14), provided that none of the following shall be considered Covered Persons: (u) a hedge fund, private equity fund or any similar pooled investment vehicle, (v) Howard B. Bernick, (w) Karen Lavin, (x) The Lavin Family Foundation, (y) The Howard and Carol Bernick Family Foundation and (z) each person that meets both of the following requirements: (1) such person would not be treated as an owner of one or more Subject Shares for tax purposes but for the direct or indirect attribution of such shares from Howard B. Bernick or Karen Lavin to such person and (2) Carol L. Bernick does not have power of disposition with respect to such person’s shares (if any). Carol L. Bernick hereby represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, not more than 50,000 shares of Alberto-Culver Common Stock are owned, in the aggregate, by (I) Karen Lavin and (II) each person (A) with respect to whose shares (if any) Carol L. Bernick does not have power of disposition and (B) who would not be treated as an owner of one or more Subject Shares for tax purposes but for the direct or indirect attribution of such shares from Karen Lavin to such person.

Section 1.03 No Restraint on Officer or Director Action; Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Investor hereby acknowledges and agrees that no provision in this Agreement shall limit or otherwise restrict any Stockholder or any other Person (including any trustee, officer, director, member, manager or partner of any Stockholder) with respect to any act or omission that such Stockholder or such

other Person may undertake or authorize in his or her capacity as a director, officer, trustee or other fiduciary of Alberto-Culver, any Subsidiary thereof or any foundation or employee benefit plan (other than a Stockholder), including any vote that such individual may make as a director of Alberto-Culver with respect to any matter presented to the Board of Directors of Alberto-Culver. The agreements set forth herein shall in no way restrict any such director, officer, trustee or other fiduciary in the exercise of his or her duties as a director, officer, trustee or other fiduciary of Alberto-Culver, any Subsidiary thereof or any foundation or employee benefit plan (other than a Stockholder). Each Stockholder has executed this Agreement solely in its capacity as the record and/or beneficial owner of its Subject Shares and no action taken by such Stockholder or any other Person in his or her capacity as a director, officer, trustee or other fiduciary of Alberto-Culver, any Subsidiary thereof or any foundation or employee benefit plan (other than a Stockholder) shall be deemed to constitute a breach of any provision of this Agreement.

Section 1.04 Confirmation of Voting. Each Stockholder shall deliver a written notice to Investor confirming that it has voted or caused to be voted all of its Subject Shares in accordance with Section 1.01 at each of the following times: (i) no later than 5:00 pm, Eastern time, on the day that is two Business Days prior to the date of the Alberto-Culver Stockholders Meeting and (ii) no later than 2 hours prior to the commencement of the Alberto-Culver Stockholders Meeting (but nothing contained in this Section 1.04 shall eliminate or limit the right of such Stockholder to rescind or change its vote if such action is consistent with such Stockholder’s obligations under the other Sections of this Agreement).

ARTICLE II

Section 2.02 No Conflicts.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Stockholders will not be required to comply with Section 1.01 or 1.02 of this Agreement if the Investment Agreement is amended (or a provision or condition of the Investment Agreement is waived) without the prior written consent of the Stockholders and such amendment or waiver (a) decreases the aggregate purchase price at which the Share Issuance is to be consummated (except in accordance with the terms of the Investment Agreement (as the same exists on the date hereof)) or the amount of the Cash Distribution (b) alters or modifies, or waives compliance with a covenant or condition contained in, Section 6.2 or 6.15 of the Investment Agreement and has an adverse effect on the Stockholders.

The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision contained in this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any prior or subsequent breach of the same or any other provision contained in this Agreement.

Section 5.06 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

(a) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, any provision hereof, the breach, performance, validity or invalidity hereof or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect hereof brought by another party hereto or its successors or permitted assigns may be brought and determined in any federal or state court located in the State of Delaware, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, any provision hereof or the breach, performance, enforcement, validity or invalidity hereof, (i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason other than the failure to lawfully serve process, (ii) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws, that (A) the suit, action or proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (B) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper and (C) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO

THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 5.12 Fees and Expenses. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses.

Section 5.13 Counterparts; Facsimile.

This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signatures of the parties hereto.

Section 5.14 Trustee Exculpation. When this Agreement is executed by the trustee of any trust, such execution is by the trustee, not individually but solely as trustee in the exercise of and under the power and authority conferred upon and invested in such trustee, and it is expressly understood and agreed that nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability on any such trustee personally to pay any amounts required to be paid hereunder, or to perform any covenant, either express or implied, contained herein, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by the parties hereto by their execution hereof. Any liability hereunder of any Stockholder which is a trust shall be only that of such trust to the full extent of its trust estate and shall not be a personal liability of any trustee, grantor or beneficiary thereof.
