2019 Incentive Options Terms and Conditions
This instrument (the “Terms and Conditions”) evidences the grant effective on the date set forth in Schedule 1 attached hereto (the “Grant Date”) of an award of a 2019 Stock Option to you (the “Participant”) by Coty Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Any term capitalized but not defined in these Terms and Conditions will have the meaning set forth in the Company’s Equity and Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “Plan”).

ARTICLE I
STOCK OPTIONS 

Section 1.1Option Grant.   In accordance with the terms of the Plan and subject to these Terms and Conditions, the Company hereby grants to the Participant as of the Grant Date an option (the “2019 Stock Option”) to purchase all or any part of the aggregate number of Shares set forth on Schedule 1 hereto (the “Option Shares”).  This Option is a nonqualified stock option and is not intended to be an incentive stock option within the meaning of Code Section 422.      

Section 1.2Exercise Price.  The Exercise Price of the 2019 Stock Option will be the Fair Market Value of a share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the Grant Date.    

Section 1.3Vesting, Exercisability and Clawback of Option.  The Participant may exercise this Option only after it has become vested and exercisable in accordance with the following:    

		
	(a)
	In General.  The Option shall vest and become exercisable as follows, provided that the Participant remains in continuous Service through such dates: 

		
	(i)
	Sixty percent (60%) of the 2019 Stock Option shall vest on the 3rd anniversary of the Grant Date; 

		
	(ii)
	Twenty percent (20%) of the 2019 Stock Option shall vest on the 4th anniversary of the Grant Date; 

		
	(iii)
	Twenty percent (20%) of the 2019 Stock Option shall vest on the 5th anniversary of the Grant Date.

If, within twelve months following a Change in Control, (i) the Participant is terminated by the Company or an employing Affiliate (that is not a Joint Venture) without Cause or (ii) the Participant resigns from the Company or an employing Affiliate (that is not a Joint Venture) for Good Reason, the Option shall vest and become exercisable on the date of such termination or resignation.    

		
	(c)
	Joint Venture.  If the Participant becomes an employee of a Joint Venture during the period in which the Option (or any portion thereof) remains subject to vesting in accordance with Section 1.3(a) above, the vesting of the Option shall be tolled beginning on the date the Participant becomes an employee of the Joint Venture and shall recommence on the date the Participant again becomes an Employee. Accordingly, the vesting schedule set forth in Section 1.3(a) above shall be extended by the number of days the Participant was an employee of the Joint Venture, but in no event shall the Option vest or become exercisable beyond the Expiration Date.      

		
	(d)

Notwithstanding any provision of these Terms and Conditions to the contrary, if all or any portion of the Participant’s Elite Stock Options are forfeited and canceled pursuant to Section 2.3(e) of the Participant’s Elite Subscription Agreement, a percentage of the 2019 Stock Option equal to the same percentage of the Participant’s Elite Stock Options that are forfeited and canceled pursuant to such Section 2.3(e) shall be immediately forfeited and canceled.
