COTY INC.

NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

     NONQUALIFIED
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) dated as of [__________] (the “Date of
Grant”), between Coty Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and
[__________] (the “Optionee”): 

R E C I T A L S:

     The
Company has adopted the Coty Inc. Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the
“Plan”), which Plan is incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this
Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same
meanings as in the Plan.

     The
Company has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its
stockholders to grant the option provided for herein to the Optionee pursuant
to the Plan and the terms set forth herein as an increased incentive to
contribute to the Company’s future success and prosperity. 

     NOW
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the
parties hereto agree as follows: 

     1.
Grant of the Option. (a) The Company hereby grants to the Optionee, an
option (the “Option”) which permits the Optionee to purchase all or any part of
an aggregate of [__________] Shares ([__________]) at a purchase price of U.S.
$[__________] per share (the “Exercise Price”). The Option granted hereby is
intended to be a Non-Qualified Stock Option and not an Incentive Stock Option. 

     2.
Vesting. (a) Subject to subparagraph (b) below and Section 4 hereof,
one-third (1/3) of the Option shall become exercisable as of each of the first,
second and third anniversaries of the Date of Grant. At any time, the “Vested
Portion” of the Option means that portion which (i) shall have become
exercisable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and (ii) shall not have
been previously exercised.

     (b)
Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (a) above, the Committee may at
any time, in its sole discretion, accelerate the vesting and exercisability of
any unvested portion of the Option.

     3. Exercise of Option.
(a) Subject to the provisions of the Plan and this
Agreement (including Section 3(e) and Section 4 hereof), the Optionee may
exercise all or any part of the Vested Portion of the Option at any time prior
to the tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant (the “Expiration Date”); provided
that the Option may be exercised with respect to whole Shares only and only in
lots of [__________] or more Shares. In no event shall the Option be
exercisable on or after the Expiration Date.

     (b)
To the extent set forth in subparagraph (a) above, the Option may be exercised
by delivering to the Company at its principal office written notice of intent
to exercise. Such notice shall specify the number of Shares for which the
Option is being exercised and shall be accompanied by payment in full, or
adequate provision therefor, of the Exercise Price and any applicable
withholding tax. The payment of the Exercise Price shall be made (i) in cash or
(ii) by certified check or bank draft payable to the order of the Company or
(iii) by tendering Shares which have been owned by the Optionee for at least
six months (which are not the subject of any pledge or other security interest)
or (iv) by a combination of the foregoing, provided that the combined value of
all cash and cash equivalents and the Fair Market Value of any such Shares so
tendered to the Company as of the date of such tender is at least equal to the
Exercise Price. The payment of withholding tax shall be subject to the Plan.

     (c)
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement to the
contrary, no Option may be exercised prior to the completion of any
registration or qualification of such Option or the Shares under applicable
state and federal securities or other laws, or under any ruling or regulation
of any governmental body or national securities exchange, that the Committee
shall in its sole discretion determine to be necessary or advisable.

     (d)
Upon the Company’s determination that the Option has been validly exercised as
to any of the Shares, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued as promptly
as practicable certificates in the Optionee’s name for such Shares. However,
the Company shall not be liable to the Optionee for damages relating to any
delays in issuing the certificates to him, any loss of the certificates, or any
mistakes or errors in the issuance of the certificates or in the certificates
themselves.

     (e)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 3(e) shall apply
to the Option prior to an initial public offering of the Shares (the “IPO”) and
terms not defined

2

herein shall be as defined in the Coty Inc. Long-Term
Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”). Upon becoming exercisable in accordance with
Sections 2 or 4 of this Agreement, the Option may be exercised prior to the IPO
only as of a Valuation Date. Upon a valid exercise of all or any portion of the
Option as of any Valuation Date prior to the IPO, the Optionee shall receive
from the Company, in lieu of any Shares, only a payment in cash equal to the
excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value, as of the Valuation Date of
exercise, of the Shares underlying the Option or portion thereof so exercised
over the aggregate exercise price of such Option or portion thereof. Payment of
such amount shall be made as promptly as practicable after Fair Market Value is
determined and shall extinguish any further obligation of the Company in
respect of such Option or portion thereof. Prior to the IPO, the Company shall
not deliver Shares upon exercise of the Option. 

     4.
Termination of Service. (a) Subject to subparagraph (c) below, in the
event that the Optionee’s service as a director of the Company is terminated by
reason of (i) death, (ii) Disability (as defined in the LTIP) or (iii) he or
she having reached the mandatory retirement age specified in the Company’s
Bylaws, the unvested portion of the Option shall vest and such portion of the
Option shall remain exercisable until the end of the first year following such
termination of service. 

     (b)
Subject to subparagraph (c) below, in the event that the Optionee’s service as
a director of the Company is terminated for any reason other than those
described in (a) above, any unvested portion of the Option as of the date of
such termination shall be deemed canceled and forfeited on the date of
Optionee’s termination of service as a director and the Vested Portion, if any,
of the Option as of the date of such termination shall remain exercisable for a
period of ninety (90) days following such termination of service as a director,
and shall thereafter be deemed canceled and forfeited.

     (c) Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (i) the Committee may, but shall not be
required to, provide at any time that any portion of the Option may be
exercised after the periods provided for in this Section 4, but in no event on
or after the Expiration Date and (ii) no provision in this Section 4 shall
extend the exercise period of the Option beyond or to include the Expiration
Date.

     5.
Change of Control. Upon a Change of Control (as defined in the LTIP) of
the Company, the unvested portion of the Option shall vest.

     6. No Right to
Continued Service; No Rights as a Stockholder. Neither the
Plan nor this Agreement shall confer on the Optionee any right to continued
service as a director of the Company. The Optionee shall not have any rights as
a stockholder with respect to any Shares subject to the Option prior to the
date of exercise of the Option.

     7.
Securities Laws. Upon the acquisition of any Shares pursuant to the
exercise of the Option, the Optionee or his Successor will make or enter into
such written representations,

3

warranties and agreements as the Company may
reasonably request in order to comply with applicable securities laws, with
this Agreement, with the Company’s Insider Trading Policy or as the Company
otherwise deems necessary or advisable.

     8.
Notices. Any notice, request, instruction or other document given under
this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be addressed and delivered, in the
case of the Company, to the Secretary of the Company at the principal office of
the Company and, in the case of the Optionee, to Optionee’s address as shown in
the records of the Company or to such other address as may be designated in
writing by either party.

     9.
Option Subject to Plan. The Option is subject to the Plan including,
without limitation, the terms of the Company’s Insider Trading Policy
incorporated therein. The terms and provisions of the Plan as it may be amended
from time to time are hereby incorporated herein by reference. In the event of
a conflict between any term or provision contained herein and a term or
provision of the Plan, the applicable terms and provisions of the Plan will
govern and prevail. 

     IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement. By execution
of this Agreement, the Optionee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and
the Company’s Insider Trading Policy.

 9.1

 	
 Amendment, Modification and Termination.
 The Board may at any time and from time to time alter, amend, modify or
 terminate the Plan in whole or in part, without the approval of the Company’s
 shareholders, except to the extent such approval is required by law. Subject
 to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or
 renew outstanding Awards under the Plan, or accept the surrender of
 outstanding Awards (to the extent not already exercised) and grant new Awards
 in substitution of them (to the extent not already exercised), in order to
 comply with the requirements of applicable law or otherwise. Notwithstanding
 the foregoing, no modification of an Award shall, without the prior written
 consent of the Participant, materially alter or impair any rights or
 obligations under any Award already granted under the Plan, except such an
 amendment made to comply with the requirements of applicable law.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 9.2

 	
 Adjustment of Awards Upon the Occurrence of
 Certain Events.

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (a)

 	
 In General. If the Shares, as currently
 constituted, are changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of
 shares of stock or other securities of the Company or of another corporation
 (whether because of a merger, consolidation, recapitalization,
 reclassification, split, reverse split, combination of shares, or otherwise,
 but not including a capital infusion from any source) or if the number of
 Shares is increased through the payment of a stock dividend, then the
 Committee shall substitute for or add to each Share underlying a
 Participant’s Restricted Stock Units the number and kind of shares of stock
 or other securities into which each outstanding Share was changed, for which
 each such Share was exchanged, or to which each such Share is entitled, as
 the case may be.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (b)

 	
 Notice. The Committee shall give notice of
 any adjustment to each Participant who holds an Award that has been adjusted

 and binding for all Plan purposes.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 9.3

 Shares, whether resulting from any adjustment in Awards pursuant to Section

 Control may be settled or otherwise terminated on such date in the discretion
 of the

 

-9-

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Committee, unless a provision has been made in writing in connection
 with such transaction for the assumption of all Awards theretofore granted,
 or the substitution for such Awards of awards to acquire the stock of the
 surviving, resulting or acquiring corporation, with any adjustments as the
 Committee determines appropriate, in which event the Awards theretofore
 granted shall continue in the manner and under the terms so provided.
 Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, any underwater Award
 that has not been fully exercised, and any Award that the Committee
 determines cannot become vested, before the date of consummation of the
 Change in Control may be canceled without consideration in the discretion of
 the Committee.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 9.5

 	
 Tax Withholding.
 The Company shall have the right to deduct or withhold, or require a
 Participant to remit to the Company, an amount (either in cash or Shares)
 sufficient to satisfy any Withholding Tax.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 SECTION 10

 
	
 Miscellaneous Provisions

 
	
  

 
	
 10.1

 	
 Successors. All
 obligations of the Company under the Plan or any Restricted Stock Unit
 Agreement shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the
 existence of the successor results from a direct or indirect purchase of all
 or substantially all of the Company’s stock, or a merger or consolidation, or
 otherwise.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 10.2

 	
 Legal Construction.

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (a)

 	
 Number. Except where
otherwise indicated by the context, any plural term used in the Plan includes
the singular and any singular term includes the plural. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (b)

 	
 Severability. If any
provision of the Plan is held illegal or invalid for any reason, the
illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and
the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid
provision had not been included. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 10.3

 	
 Business Day. In
 the event the day prescribed for the performance of any act under the Plan,
 or deadline by which such act must be performed, shall fall on a day other
 than a Business Day, such day or deadline shall be extended until the close
 of business on the next succeeding Business Day.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 10.4

 	
 Requirements of Law.
 The granting of Awards, the issuance of Shares and the payment of cash under
 the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and
 to any approvals by governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as
 may be required.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 10.5

 	
 Rights of a Shareholder. A
 Participant shall not be, nor shall a Participant have any of the rights and
 privileges of, a shareholder until certificates for Shares have been issued
 upon settlement of Restricted Stock Units.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 10.6

 	
 Securities Law Compliance.

 

-10-

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (a)

 	
 As to any individual who is, on the relevant date, an officer,
 director or greater than 10% percent beneficial owner of any class of the
 Company’s equity securities that is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the
 Exchange Act, all as defined under Section 16 of the Exchange Act,
 transactions under the Plan are intended to comply with all applicable
 conditions of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, or any successor rule. To the extent any provision of the Plan or action by the Committee fails to so comply, it
 shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed
 advisable by the Committee.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (b)

 	
 To the extent the Committee deems it necessary, appropriate or
 desirable to comply with state securities laws or practice and to further the
 purposes of the Plan, the Committee may, without amending the Plan, (i)
 establish rules applicable to Awards granted to Participants, including rules
 that differ from those set forth in the Plan, and (ii) grant Awards to such
 Participants in accordance with those rules that would require the
 application of the securities laws of any state.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 10.7

 	
 Unfunded Status of the Plan.
 The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive
 compensation. With respect to any payments or deliveries of Shares not yet
 made to a Participant by the Company, the Participant’s rights are no greater
 than those of a general creditor of the Company. The Committee may authorize
 the establishment of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations
 created under the Plan, so long as the arrangement does not cause the Plan to
 lose its legal status as an unfunded plan.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 10.8

 	
 Section 409A. Restricted
 Stock Units are intended to qualify for exemption from, or to comply with the
 requirements of, Section 409A, and the Plan shall be interpreted in a manner
 consistent with such intent. References in the Plan to a termination of
 “Service” and similar expressions shall mean a “separation from service”
 within the meaning of Section 409A. In the event that (i) the Committee
 determines that (x) any stock of the Company is publicly traded on an
 established securities market or otherwise, (y) the Participant is a
 “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A and (z) the
 Participant’s Restricted Stock Units do not qualify for exemption from
 Section 409A; and (ii) settlement of the Participant’s Restricted Stock Units
 is the result of the Participant’s separation from Service, then
 notwithstanding any provision herein or in the Participant’s Restricted Stock
 Unit Agreement to the contrary payment in settlement of such Restricted Stock
 Units shall be postponed until six months after the date of such separation
 from Service or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 10.9

 	
 Governing Law. To
 the extent not preempted by Federal law, the Plan and all agreements
 hereunder shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and governed
 by, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its conflicts
 of law principles that would require the application of the law of any other
 jurisdiction.
