Article

2.1    The
Employee may, however, be requested by the Company to take additional responsibilities such as directorships on the Boards of
companies of the Coty group. The Employee agrees to accept such additional responsibilities without additional compensation except
for nominal compensation as may be required under local laws. In any event, the Employee will benefit from an insurance policy

    	2



    	



    

2.2    Coty
may, without an obligation to do so, offer the Employee to take over a directorship in one or more companies of the Coty group
or offer or encourage the Employee to accept a position in an outside organization such as an industrial association. In such case,
the Employee will represent the interests of Coty within that company or organization in addition to his obligations under the
Agreement. Those additional responsibilities, however, will not affect or alter his position as President, Coty Prestige of the
Company, as set in article 1 above, which is prevalent. Should a conflict arise between the Employee’s obligations to the
Company and his other directorship(s) the Employee will advise Coty accordingly.


 


In performing his duties as a director
or representative, the Employee will report to Coty or such person as Coty may direct.


 


2.3    In
consideration for the close link which would exist between the potential directorships and/or additional responsibilities with
the salaried employment relationship within the Coty group, the termination of the Agreement will automatically entail the immediate
termination of all directorships and/or additional responsibilities. Therefore, the Employee hereby agrees to resign, without delay
and without right of retention, from all directorships or other offices (as outlined in the preceding paragraph) whenever so directed
by the Company and/or Coty and immediately so upon termination of Employee’s work duties for the Company unless expressly

without the prior written approval of the Company and Coty Chief Executive Officer:


 


(i)    Hold
any employment or business position outside the Company and the Coty group, irrespective of whether any remuneration is paid; or


 


(ii)    Directly
or indirectly engage in any other business activity or otherwise conduct activities which may conflict with or may have a detrimental
effect on the Employee’s obligations to or work for the Company or for Coty, or which may adversely affect their reputation
or business.

of 110’000 € by year. The Employee’s salary shall be payable in twelve equal installments subject to the deduction
of social security charges, as applicable.


 


The gross annual salary shall be reviewed
in regular annual intervals.


 


3.3    The
remuneration of any other special assignment within the Coty Group, for example, serving as a member of the board of directors
of any group company including the Company shall not give rise to any additional compensation, the compensation served to the Employee
corresponding the functions entrusted with the Employee as defined by the Agreement will be deemed to be already inclusive of such
additional responsibilities, given the hierarchical level of the Employee.


 


3.4    In
addition, the Employee shall be part of the Coty Annual Performance Plan - (“APP”), with a Target Award at 60 % of
Employee’s basic gross annual salary and of the yearly gross amount of the expatriation allowance. Details of the APP shall

Article
8 - Competition Restrictions - non solicitation


 


The Parties acknowledge that this covenant
is necessary in order to safeguard the Company’s interests, due to the fact that Company conducts business activities in
an extremely competitive sector in which other major economic actors are also present, and that in consideration of his level of
responsibility, the Employee has access to the Company’s entire commercial, marketing and financial data.


 


The Employee agrees, in the event of termination
of the Agreement on any grounds, to abstain from:


 




		·	entering the service of a competing undertaking, with or without compensation and in particular
any firm whose principal business consists in manufacturing, designing and selling any fragrances, cosmetic and make up products,
skin care products and any related products.



 


		·	taking an interest, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever in any such undertaking.



 


This non-competition covenant shall be
limited to a duration of twelve months running from the date the Employee physically leaves the Company and covers all countries
and geographies where the Employee has performed any professional activity over the last 24 months of his employment, i.e., all
geographies where Coty Prestige sells its products via a subsidiary or a distributor.

the Monthly Gross Salary will mean the average gross salary paid over the 12 months prior to the notification of termination of

    	10



    	



    

premium, whether discretionary or not.

the Employee from the non-competition obligation at any time during the Agreement by sending a registered mail with return receipt
requested. The Company may also release the Employee from the non-competition obligation by registered mail with return receipt
requested at the time of the notification of the termination of the Agreement in case the Employee would be exempted from performing
his notice period, or on the date of termination of the Agreement in case the notice would be performed by the Employee. In case
the Employee would terminate the Agreement, the Company may release the Employee from his non-competition obligation in accordance
with the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. In case of a release, the Company will be exempted from any obligation
of payment of the non-compete indemnification.


 


The Employee acknowledges and expressly
agrees, in case he would find a new position during the application of the non-competition covenant to immediately inform the Company
by registered letter upon receipt, disclosing his new position, name of his new employer and scope of activity.


 


The Employee also undertakes, directly
or indirectly, on his own behalf or on behalf of a third party:


 


·    not
to encourage, poach or try to poach, solicit or try to solicit, or take any measure aiming at canvassing or encouraging any person
who was an employee of the Company as at the date of the termination of the Contract to leave his/her position or to poach other
employees;


 


·    not
to encourage, canvass or try to poach, recruit, solicit or try to solicit, or take any measure aiming at canvassing or encouraging
any person who was an employee of the Company as at the date of the termination of the Contract, in order to make him/her perform
tasks that would be in competition with those performed by the Employee.


 


These restrictions shall apply for a period
of twelve (12) months from the date of the physical departure of the Employee from the Company.


 


Breach of this covenant shall make the
Employee liable for payment of liquidated damages of 18 months of gross salary, computed on the basis of the Monthly Gross Salary
collected during the year prior to termination of the Agreement.


 


Such damages shall be payable to the Company
in respect of each breach committed.




    	11



    	



    

Such damages shall be without prejudice
to any damages which the Company reserves the right to claim at law for full repair of any intangible and pecuniary losses actually
suffered as a result of the Employees activity, and to apply for an injunction, if necessary subject to fines, for discontinuation
of the competing activity.


 


The Employee acknowledges that his agreement
is necessary in order to safeguard the Company’s interests and/or any company of the Coty Group, and that the present article
shall not prevent him from finding another position.


 


For the purposes of the Agreement, “any
company of the Coty group” shall mean any company in France or abroad, which directly or indirectly, controls or is controlled
by the Company, or is under the same control as the Company (according to the meaning set forth by article L. 233-3 of the French
Commercial Code).


 


Should the provisions of this article be
considered too broad by a competent jurisdiction, the parties agree that this clause shall be applied to its maximum extent as
authorized by the current legislation.
