▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

Dear ▇▇▇▇▇▇:

This letter (the “Agreement”) confirms our mutual agreement with regard to your separation from and transition services for Coty Inc. (the “Company”). Your employment agreement with the Company dated November 18, 2008 (the “Employment Agreement”) shall be deemed modified to the extent inconsistent with this Agreement. Terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meaning given those terms under the Employment Agreement.

1. Separation. Your employment with the Company and the Employment Agreement will terminate on March 31, 2014 (your “Scheduled Termination Date”) or such earlier date on which your employment ends by reason of a termination of your employment by the Company for Cause. The date your employment with the Company actually terminates is referred to in this Agreement as the “Termination Date” and the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the Termination Date is referred to as the “Employment Period.” The Company agrees that it will not terminate your employment without Cause before the Scheduled Termination Date, and you agree that any advance notice requirement with respect to the termination of your employment or of the Employment Agreement is deemed satisfied by this Agreement.

2. Transition Services. Your current role and duties as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer will continue through the arrival of your successor, who will become the Company’s Chief Financial Officer on or about January 1, 2014 or, if earlier, your Termination Date (the earlier of such dates being referred to in this Agreement as the “Transition Date”). For the remainder of the Employment Period you will assist in transitioning your duties to your successor and be assigned to special projects that are consistent with this transition.

3. Resignation from Positions. As of the Transition Date you will be deemed to have resigned from all officer and director positions that you may have held with the Company or its affiliates (collectively, “Coty”). If for any reason this paragraph 3 is deemed insufficient to effect any such resignation, you hereby authorize the Secretary of the Company or its affiliate to execute such documents or instruments as may be deemed reasonably necessary or desirable to effect such resignation, and to act as your attorney-in-fact solely for the purpose of so effecting such

resignation.

4. Compensation and Benefits After Separation.

(a) Accrued Benefits. Upon the termination of your employment for any reason you will be entitled to your Accrued Benefits. For purposes of this Agreement, “Accrued Benefits” means (i) your accrued but unpaid salary as of the Termination Date, (ii) payment of any accrued but unused vacation, and (iii) any amounts or benefits to which you are entitled under the applicable terms of any benefit plan, agreement or other arrangement of Coty as of the Termination Date.

(b) COBRA. You will receive general information about your right to elect continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”).

(c) Within 30 business days following the Termination Date, you will be paid for any previously un-reimbursed business expenses you incurred prior to the Termination Date in accordance with usual Company guidelines and practices.

5. Conditional Compensation and Benefits. Provided that (i) you remain continuously employed by the Company through the earlier of (x) your Scheduled Termination Date or (y) your termination of employment by the Company for any reason other than Cause, and (ii) you execute the Release attached hereto as Exhibit A during the 21-day period beginning on your Termination Date, and do not timely revoke the Release, the Company will provide you with the following compensation and benefits (the “Conditional Compensation and Benefits”):

(a) Separation Payment. You will be paid four hundred twelve thousand five hundred dollars ($412,500), less applicable statutory deductions and authorized withholdings (the “Separation Payment”), representing base salary for the 9-month period (the “Salary Continuation Period”) that begins the day after the Termination Date, payable semi-monthly in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices. This Separation Payment shall not be reduced, or be applied against, any payments of salary or Accrued Benefits for the Employment Period, except as provided in the following paragraph; and

(b) Benefits Continuation. You will continue to be eligible to participate in the Company’s medical and dental plans for active employees, on the same cost-sharing basis as if you were actively employed, during the period (the “Benefits Continuation Period”) beginning the day after your Termination Date and ending on the earlier of (i) the last day of the Salary Continuation Period or (ii) the date you become eligible to participate in another employer’s health care insurance plans. During the Benefits Continuation Period the employee portion of the premiums for such coverage will be

2

deducted from the Separation Payment. Upon the expiration of the Benefits Continuation Period, in the event that you are eligible and elect COBRA continuation coverage you shall be solely responsible for your portion of any group medical and dental insurance premiums, including all administrative charges. You agree to notify the Company within two business days following the commencement of any full-time employment prior to the last day of the Salary Continuation Period.

6. Equity Grants. In consideration for the providing Transition Services through the Termination Date as provided in Section 2 hereof and for executing the Release attached hereto as Exhibit A, (i) your stock option awards granted on March 2, 2009 and on March 9, 2009 will vest as scheduled on March 2, 2014 and on March 9, 2014 respectively; and (ii) your equity award for IPO Units granted on September 14, 2010 shall vest as scheduled on June 13, 2014, in each case as if your employment had continued without any break in service.

7. Taxes and Withholding. Amounts payable under this Agreement will be reduced by applicable withholding taxes. The parties intend that any payments under this Agreement satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code to the extent applicable, and the Agreement will be interpreted in accordance with such intent. However, the Company does not represent or warrant that this Agreement will comply with Section 409A, and you shall bear sole responsibility for payment of any Federal, state, or local income or other taxes or related penalties associated with your receipt of any amounts pursuant to this Agreement.

8. Nondisclosure. Except with prior written permission from the Company’s Chairman, you agree not to disclose the terms and conditions of this Agreement to anyone except (i) as reasonably necessary to enforce this Agreement; (ii) to your attorneys and tax consultants; (iii) to your spouse; (iv) to any government or self-regulatory agency; or (v) pursuant to compulsory legal process or a court order.

9. Nondisparagement; Public Announcement.

(a) Both the Company and you agree to take no action or make any statement in any form that is intended, or would reasonably be expected, to harm or disparage or impair the reputation of the other.

(b) You and the Company will jointly prepare and issue a public announcement regarding your departure, and you agree not to issue a different public announcement without prior Company consent.

10. Confidentiality & Noncompetition Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that you remain subject to the terms of the Coty Inc. Confidentiality, Invention & Noncompetition Agreement between you and Coty Inc. dated 20 November 2008 (the “Confidentiality & Noncompetition Agreement”). There shall be no other solicitation or competition restrictions on your post-employment activities, and no activity that is not prohibited by the Confidentiality and Noncompetition

3

Agreement may serve as the basis for any forfeiture, loss or delay of any compensation or benefit under this Agreement or otherwise.

11. Entire Agreement.

(a) You acknowledge and agree that (i) you are not entitled to any additional compensation, payments, or benefits from the Company other than as set forth in, or preserved by, this Agreement, (ii) the Company has made no promises, commitments or representations to you other than those contained in, or preserved by, this Agreement, and (iii) you have not relied upon any statement or representation made by the Company with respect to the basis or effect of this Agreement.

(b) This Agreement, the Employment Agreement (as modified by this Agreement), and the Confidentiality & Noncompetition Agreement contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, except to the extent inconsistent with this Agreement the Employment Agreement remains in full force and effect through the Termination Date (and the provisions of the Employment Agreement that by their nature survive beyond your termination of employment shall remain in full force and effect beyond the Termination Date).

(c) This Agreement may not be changed orally, and no modification, amendment or waiver of any of the provisions contained in this Agreement, nor any future representation, promise or condition in connection with the subject matter hereof, shall be binding upon any party unless made in a writing signed by such party that expressly refers to the provision being modified, amended or waived.

12. Consultation with Counsel. You acknowledge that the Company has advised you to consult with your attorney before signing this Agreement.

13. Assignment. You may not assign any of your rights or obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that you shall be entitled, to the extent permitted under applicable law, to select and change a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any compensation or benefit hereunder following your death by giving written notice thereof. In the event of your death or a judicial determination of your incompetence, references in this Agreement to you shall be deemed, where appropriate, to refer to your beneficiary, estate or other legal representative. The Company may assign its rights and delegate its duties hereunder in whole or in part to any transferee of all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Company. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon and enforceable by the Company and its permissible assignees.

14. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void, or unenforceable, such provision shall be of no force and effect. However, the illegality or unenforceability of such provision shall have no effect upon, and shall not impair the enforceability of, any other provision of this Agreement.

15. Interpretation. This Agreement shall be construed as a whole according to its fair meaning, and shall not be construed strictly for or against you or the Company. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the singular or plural number shall be deemed to include the other, and the paragraph headings are intended solely for convenience of reference and shall not be a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.

16. Miscellaneous.

RECITALS

A            Pedreiro and the Company entered into an Agreement dated [insert date] (the “Agreement”) concerning ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s separation from service with the Company. A blank copy of this Release was attached to the Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Release have the meaning given such terms in the Agreement.

B            Under the Agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s entitlement to the Conditional Compensation and Benefits (as defined in the Agreement) are in consideration of and conditioned upon his execution of this Release.

(b) “Company Parties” means the Company, its past and present direct and indirect affiliates, predecessors, successors, and assigns, their respective past and present officers, directors, employees, attorneys, representatives, and agents, whether acting as agents or in their individual capacities, and any Company or other applicable retirement or welfare plans (and their respective plan administrators, fiduciaries, trustees, and insurers).

2. Release.

(a) In consideration of the agreements of the Company in the Agreement and in this Release, and with the intention of binding the Pedreiro Parties, Pedreiro hereby releases, waives, and forever discharges the Company Parties from, and acknowledges full accord and satisfaction of, all Claims against the Company Parties that he now has or may have in the future. As used in this Release, “Claims” means claims of any kind under any legal or equitable theory, whether known or unknown, and whether asserted or unasserted, by reason of any act, omission, transaction, agreement or occurrence, from the beginning of time through the execution of this Release, including, without limitation:

(i) claims relating to or arising from ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s employment, or termination of his employment, with the Company, including claims for bonuses or severance entitlements;

(ii) claims for employee benefits, including claims under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; provided, however, that nothing in this Release is intended to release, diminish, or otherwise affect any vested monies or other vested benefits to which Pedreiro may be entitled under any savings or retirement plan of the Company;

(iii) contract or quasi-contract claims;

(iv) claims of employment discrimination, harassment or retaliation, including claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Acts of 1866 and 1991, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the Family & Medical Leave Act, the New York State and New York City Human Rights Laws, the New York Whistleblower Law, the New York Labor Law, the New York Civil Rights Law, and the New York Constitution, in each case as such laws have been amended from time to time;

3. Future Claims. This Release applies to all Claims arising on or before the Termination Date, but shall not affect any rights or Claims arising thereafter. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to waive his rights under any state or federal statute that provides that a general release does not extend to claims in its favor that it does not know or suspect to exist at the time of executing this Release, and that if known to it would have had to have materially affected its settlement. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ represents that he has not assigned or given away any of the Claims that he has released in this Release.

If he revokes this Release he will not be entitled to the Conditional Compensation and Benefits. This Release will not become effective and enforceable until after the expiration of the seven-day revocation period.

9. Severability. If any provision of this Release is held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void, or unenforceable, such provision shall be of no force and effect. However, the illegality or unenforceability of such provision shall have no effect upon, and shall not impair the enforceability of, any other provision of this Release. If paragraph 2 is held to be illegal, void or unenforceable, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to promptly execute a valid Release in favor of the other Party.

10. Applicable Law. This Release is governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.
