ALBERTO-CULVER COMPANY

1994 STOCK OPTION PLAN

FOR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS

(as
amended through October 26, 2006)



---

1.     Purpose.   The principal purpose of the 1994 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the Director Plan) is to benefit
Alberto-Culver Company (the Company) and its subsidiaries by offering its non-employee directors an opportunity to become holders of the Companys Common Stock, par value $.22 per share (Common Stock), in order to enable
them to represent the viewpoint of other stockholders of the Company more effectively and to encourage them to continue serving as directors of the Company.

2.     Administration.   The Director Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors, whose interpretation of the terms and provisions of the
Director Plan shall be final, conclusive and binding. No member of the Board of Directors shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Director Plan or any option thereunder.

3.     Eligibility.   Options shall be granted under this Director Plan only to members of the
Board of Directors who are not officers or employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

4.     Granting of Options.

(a)   An aggregate of 315,000 shares of
Common Stock shall be available under this Director Plan. Such number of shares, and the number of shares subject to options outstanding under this Director Plan, shall be subject in all cases to adjustment as provided in paragraph 10. Shares
subject to options may be made available from unissued or treasury shares of stock. If any option granted under the Director Plan shall terminate or be surrendered or expire unexercised, in whole or in part, the shares so released from such option
may be made the subject of additional options granted under the Director Plan. After January 23, 2003, no more stock options shall be granted hereunder.

(b)   Nothing contained in this Director Plan or in any option granted pursuant hereto shall confer upon any optionee any right to continue serving as a director of the Company or
interfere in any way with any right of the Board of Directors or stockholders of the Company to remove such director pursuant to the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Company or applicable law.

5.     Option Price.   Subject to adjustment under paragraph 10, the option price shall be the
Fair Market Value (as defined below) of the Companys Common Stock on the date the option is granted. For purposes of the Director Plan, Fair Market Value shall mean the average of the high and low transaction prices of a share of
Common Stock as reported in the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions on the date as of which such value is being determined or, if there shall be no reported transactions for such date, on the next preceding date for which transactions
were reported.

6.     Duration of Options, Increments and Extensions.
  Subject to the provisions of paragraph 8, each option shall be for a term of ten (10) years. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 11, each option shall become exercisable with respect to 25% of the total number of shares on the
day preceding the one (1) year anniversary of the date of grant and with respect to an additional 25% at the end of each twelve-month period thereafter during the succeeding three years.

7.     Exercise of Option.   An option may be exercised by giving written notice to the Company
specifying the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased, accompanied by the full purchase price for such number of shares, (i) in cash, (ii) by check, (iii) by delivery of previously owned shares of Common Stock, or
(iv) by a combination of these methods of payment. However, under no circumstances may any optionee deliver previously owned shares of Common Stock obtained from the exercise of options under any option plan of the Company during the six months
immediately preceding the exercise date. The per share value of the Common Stock delivered in payment of the option price shall be the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of exercise.

8.     Termination - Exercise Thereafter.

(a)  If an optionee dies without having fully exercised his or her options, the executors or administrators of his or her
estate or legatees or distributees shall have the right during the one (1) year period following his or her death (but not after the expiration of the term of any such options) to exercise such options in whole or in part but only to the extent
that the optionee could have exercised each such option at the date of his or her death.

(b)  If any optionee
resigns from the Board of Directors due to disability or retirement, the optionees options shall terminate one (1) year after his or her resignation (but not after the expiration of the term of any such option) and may be exercised only
to the extent that such optionee could have exercised each such option at the date of his or her resignation.

(c)  If the optionees termination from service on the Board of Directors is for any reason other than death, disability or retirement, the optionees options shall terminate upon said termination; provided, however,
that if such termination occurs following a Change in Control (as such term is defined in paragraph 11(b) hereof), the optionees options shall terminate three (3) months after his or her termination (but not after the expiration of the
term of any such option).

9.     Non-Transferability of Options.   No option
shall be transferable by the optionee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and each option shall be exercisable during an optionees lifetime only by the optionee.

10.    Adjustment upon Change in Stock.   Each option, the number and kind of shares subject to
future options and the number of shares subject to options that shall be automatically granted by the Board of Directors under the Director Plan shall be adjusted, as may be determined to be equitable in the sole and absolute discretion of the Board
of Directors, in the event there is any change in the outstanding Common Stock, or any event that could cause a change in the outstanding Common

Stock, including, without limitation, by reason of a stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification, issuance of Common Stock, extraordinary cash
dividend, issuance of rights to purchase Common Stock, issuance of securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, merger, consolidation, stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off, combination, exchange or conversion of shares, or any
other similar type of event. The Board of Directors determination of any adjustment pursuant to this paragraph 10 shall be final, conclusive and binding.

11.     Change in Control

(a)   (1)   Notwithstanding any provision of the Director Plan, in the event of a Change in Control, all outstanding options shall immediately be exercisable in full and shall be subject to the provisions of
paragraph 11(a)(2) or 11(a)(3), to the extent that either such paragraph is applicable.

(2)  
Notwithstanding any provision of the Director Plan, in the event of a Change in Control in connection with which the holders of shares of the Companys Common Stock receive shares of common stock that are registered under Section 12 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), all outstanding options shall immediately be exercisable in full and there shall be substituted for each share of the Companys Common Stock available under the Director Plan,
whether or not then subject to an outstanding option, the number and class of shares into which each outstanding share of the Companys Common Stock shall be converted pursuant to such Change in Control. In the event of any such substitution,
the purchase price per share of each option shall be appropriately adjusted by the Board of Directors, such adjustments to be made without an increase in the aggregate purchase price.

(3)   Notwithstanding any provision in the Director Plan, in the event of a Change in Control in connection
with which the holders of the Companys Common Stock receive consideration other than shares of common stock that are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, each outstanding option shall be surrendered to the Company by the
holder thereof, and each such option shall immediately be cancelled by the Company, and the holder shall receive, within ten (10) days of the occurrence of such Change in Control, a cash payment from the Company in an amount equal to the number
of shares of the Companys Common Stock then subject to such option, multiplied by the excess, if any, of (i) the greater of (A) the highest per share price offered to stockholders of the Company in any transaction whereby the Change
in Control takes place or (B) the Fair Market Value of a share of the Companys Common Stock on the date of occurrence of the Change in Control over (ii) the purchase price per share of the Companys Common Stock subject to the
option. The Company may, but is not required to, cooperate with any person who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act to assure that any cash payment in accordance with the foregoing to such person is made in compliance with
Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder providing for an exemption from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.
