EXPLANATORY NOTE
Pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 dated May 10, 1996 (File No. 333-3421) (the Original Plan Registration Statement), Revlon, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), registered 5,000,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Class A Common Stock), issuable under the Revlon, Inc. 1996 Stock Plan (the Original Plan and, as amended and restated, the Plan).
The Original Plan was subsequently amended and restated on several occasions, including most recently on December 9, 2007. This most recent amendment and restatement of the Plan renamed the Plan the Third Amended and Restated Revlon, Inc. Stock Plan and increased the number of shares of Class A Common Stock with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan by 25,000,000, so that the maximum aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan has been increased to 65,650,000 shares, among other things. This amendment and restatement became effective on December 9, 2007 after stockholders owning a majority in voting interest of the Companys voting capital stock approved such amendment and restatement by written consent on November 2, 2007. The Third Amended and Restated Revlon, Inc. Stock Plan is attached as Exhibit 4.1 to this Registration Statement.
Prior Registration Statements on Form S-8 in respect to the Plan were filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) on: April 14, 1999 (File No. 333-76267) (the Second Registration Statement); October 11, 2001 (File No. 333-71378) (the Third Registration Statement); June 24, 2002 (File No. 333-91038) (the Fourth Registration Statement); and June 4, 2004 (File No. 333-116160) (the Fifth Registration Statement).

Item 6. |
Indemnification of Directors and Officers. |
Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the DGCL), a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding (i) if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and (ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if he or she had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful. In actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, a corporation may indemnify such person against expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which that person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or other such court shall deem proper. To the extent that a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defending any such action, suit or proceeding referred to above or any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she is entitled to indemnification for expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith. A corporation may pay expenses (including attorneys fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. Such expenses (including attorneys fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems appropriate. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided for or granted pursuant to Section 145 is not exclusive of any other rights of indemnification or advancement of expenses to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled, and a corporation may purchase and maintain insurance against liabilities asserted against any former or current director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or a person who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, whether or not the power to indemnify is provided by the statute.
Article X of the by-laws of the Company, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to this Registration Statement, provides for indemnification of the officers and directors of the Company to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
Section 8 of Article X of the by-laws allows the Company to maintain director and officer liability insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the Company or such person who serves or served as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership or other enterprise at the request of the Company. The indemnification and advancement of expenses shall,
5
unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
Section 11 of Article X of the by-laws provides that except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify any of its directors or officers in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the board of directors of the Company.
Pursuant to Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, Section (4) of Article Fifth of the Companys certificate of incorporation, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to this Registration Statement, provides that no director of the Company shall be personally liable to the Company or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of such directors fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the directors duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Any repeal or modification of this Article by the stockholders of the Company shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Company existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

Undertakings. |
The Company hereby undertakes:
(a) (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective Registration Statement; and
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and
7
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The Company hereby further undertakes, that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Companys annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plans annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Exhibit 4.1
Third Amended and Restated Revlon, Inc. Stock Plan
ARTICLE I
GENERAL
1.1 Purpose. The purpose of this Third Amended and Restated Revlon, Inc. Stock Plan (the Plan) is to provide for certain officers, directors and executive, managerial and other employees of Revlon, Inc. (Revlon and, together with its subsidiaries, the Company) and its Affiliates an incentive to maintain and enhance the long-term performance and profitability of the Company. It is the further purpose of the Plan to permit the granting of awards that will constitute performance based compensation for certain executive officers, as described in section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), and regulations promulgated thereunder.
1.2 Administration.
(a) The Plan shall be administered by a committee (the Committee) appointed by the Board of Directors of Revlon (the Board), which committee shall consist of two or more directors. It is intended that the directors appointed to serve on the Committee shall be outside directors (within the meaning of Code section 162(m) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder as may be in effect from time to time, and any amendments, revisions or successor provisions thereto) to the extent Code section 162(m) is applicable, and that discretionary grants of Awards to non-employee directors be administered by a committee of non-employee directors (as such term is defined by Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)); however, the mere fact that a Committee member shall fail to qualify under the foregoing requirements shall not invalidate any award made by the Committee which award is otherwise validly made under the Plan. The members of the Committee shall be appointed by, and may be changed at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of, the Board. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Committee may delegate to any officer of Revlon the authority to grant options (as defined below) to officers or employees of the Company who are not subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, or the limitations of Code section 162(m).
(b) The Committee shall have the discretionary authority (i) to exercise all of the powers granted to it under the Plan, (ii) to construe, interpret and implement the Plan and Plan agreements executed pursuant to Section 2.6, (iii) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, (iv) to make all determinations necessary or advisable in administering the Plan, and (v) to correct any defect, supply any omission and reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan.
(c) The determination of the Committee on all matters relating to the Plan or any Plan agreement (as defined in Section 2.6) shall be conclusive.
(d) No member of the Committee shall be liable for any Plan Action (as defined in Section 3.2(a)), including without limitation any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award hereunder.
1.3 Persons Eligible for Awards. Awards under the Plan may be made to such officers, directors and executive, managerial and other employees (key personnel) of the Company or its Affiliates as the Committee shall in its sole discretion select. The Committee may make grants of Awards conditional upon execution by the grantee of the Companys standard Agreement on Confidentiality and Non Competition, as in effect from time to time.
1.4 Types of Awards Under Plan.
(a) Awards may be made under the Plan in the form of (i) stock options (options), (ii) stock appreciation rights (stock appreciation rights) related to an option (related stock appreciation rights), (iii) stock appreciation rights not related to any option (unrelated stock appreciation rights), (iv) restricted stock awards, (v) unrestricted stock awards and (vi) restricted stock unit awards, all as more fully set forth in Article II (collectively, Awards).
(b) Options granted under the Plan may be either (i) nonqualified stock options subject to the provisions of Code section 83 or (ii) options intended to qualify for incentive stock option treatment described in Code section 422.
(c) All options when granted are intended to be nonqualified options, unless the applicable Plan agreement explicitly states that an option is intended to be an incentive stock option. If an option is granted with the stated intent that it be an incentive stock option, and if for any reason such option (or any portion thereof) shall not qualify as an incentive stock
1
option, then, to the extent of such nonqualification, such option (or portion) shall be regarded as a nonqualified option appropriately granted under the Plan provided that such option (or portion) otherwise satisfies the terms and conditions of the Plan relating to nonqualified options generally.
1.5 Shares Available for Awards.
(a) Subject to Section 3.5 (relating to adjustments upon changes in capitalization), as of any date the total number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which Awards may be granted shall be equal to the excess (if any) of (i) 65,650,000 shares over (ii) the sum (without duplication) of (A) the number of shares subject to outstanding options, outstanding unrelated stock appreciation rights, outstanding restricted stock awards not vested pursuant to the lapse of restrictions and outstanding restricted stock unit awards as to which the award cycle has not expired, granted under the Plan, (B) the number of shares previously issued pursuant to the exercise of options granted under the Plan, (C) the number of shares subject to an option, restricted stock award or restricted stock unit award or part thereof which is canceled by the Committee and for which cash is paid in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.8(f), (D) the number of shares in respect of which stock appreciation rights granted under the Plan shall have previously been exercised, (E) the number of shares previously vested pursuant to the lapse of restrictions under restricted stock awards granted under the Plan, (F) the number of shares previously issued pursuant to unrestricted stock awards, and (G) the number of shares previously issued or issuable pursuant to restricted stock unit awards as to which the award cycle has expired. In accordance with (and without limitation upon) the preceding sentence, if and to the extent an Award under the Plan expires, terminates or is canceled for any reason whatsoever without the grantee having received any benefit therefrom, the shares covered by such Award shall again become available for future Awards under the Plan. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, a grantee shall not be deemed to have received any benefit (i) in the case of forfeited restricted stock awards by reason of having enjoyed voting rights and dividend rights prior to the date of forfeiture or (ii) in the case of an Award canceled pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 1.5 by reason of a new Award being granted in substitution therefor. The grant or vesting of restricted stock unit awards that by their terms may be settled solely in cash shall not reduce the number of shares of Common Stock that may be made subject to awards under the Plan. Further, to the extent that payment for an option upon exercise is made with shares of Common Stock or shares of Common Stock are withheld from payment of an Award (including without limitation upon vesting of restricted stock) in satisfaction of any federal, state or local tax withholding requirements, such shares shall be available for future Awards under the Plan.
(b) Shares of Common Stock that shall be subject to issuance pursuant to Awards made under the Plan shall be authorized and unissued or treasury shares of Common Stock.
(c) Without limiting the generality of the preceding provisions of this Section 1.5, the Committee may, but solely with the grantees consent, agree to cancel any Award under the Plan and issue a new Award in substitution therefor upon such terms as the Committee may in its sole discretion determine, provided that the substituted Award satisfies all applicable Plan requirements as of the date such new Award is made.
(d) In any calendar year, a person eligible for Awards under the Plan may not be granted options or stock appreciation rights covering in the aggregate a total of more than 5,700,000 shares of Common Stock with respect to 2004 and 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock with respect to any subsequent year. In any calendar year, an independent director (as determined pursuant to Revlons Board Guidelines for Assessing Director Independence or similar guidelines in effect from time to time) of Revlon who is not also an employee of the Company may not be granted options or stock appreciation rights covering in the aggregate more than such number of shares of Common Stock with a fair market value (determined as of any respective date of grant in accordance with Section 1.6(c)) in excess of $100,000.
1.6 Definitions of Certain Terms.
(a) The term Affiliate as used herein means any person or entity which, at the time of reference, directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Company.
(b) The term Common Stock as used herein means the shares of Class A Common Stock of Revlon as constituted on the effective date of the Plan, and any other shares into which such Common Stock shall thereafter be changed by reason of a recapitalization, merger, consolidation, split-up, combination, exchange of shares or the like.

STOCK OPTIONS; STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS; STOCK AWARDS; RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARDS
2.1 Grant of Stock Options. The Committee may grant options under the Plan to purchase shares of Common Stock to such key personnel, in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall from time to time determine in its sole discretion, subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan.
2.2 Grant of Stock Appreciation Rights.
(a) The Committee may grant a related stock appreciation right in connection with all or any part of an option granted under the Plan, either at the time such option is granted or at any time thereafter prior to the exercise, termination or cancellation of such option, and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall from time to time determine in its sole discretion, consistent with the terms and provisions of the Plan. The grantee of a related stock appreciation right shall, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable Plan agreement, thereby have the right by exercise thereof to surrender to the Company for cancellation all or a portion of such related stock appreciation right, but only to the extent that the related option is then exercisable, and to be paid therefor an amount equal to the excess (if any) of (i) the aggregate fair market value of the shares of Common Stock subject to the related stock appreciation right or portion thereof surrendered (determined as of the exercise date), over (ii) the aggregate appreciation base (determined pursuant to Section 2.6(d)) of the shares of Common Stock subject to the stock appreciation right or portion thereof surrendered.
(b) The Committee may grant an unrelated stock appreciation right to such key personnel, and in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions, as the Committee shall from time to time determine in its sole discretion, subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan. The grantee of an unrelated stock appreciation right shall, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable Plan agreement, have the right to surrender to the Company for cancellation all or a portion of such stock appreciation right, but only to the extent that such stock appreciation right is then exercisable, and to be paid therefor an amount equal to the excess (if any) of (i) the aggregate fair market value of the shares of Common Stock subject to the stock appreciation right or portion thereof surrendered (determined as of the exercise date), over (ii) the aggregate appreciation base (determined pursuant to Section 2.6(d)) of the shares of Common Stock subject to the stock appreciation right or portion thereof surrendered.
(c) Payment due to the grantee upon exercise of a stock appreciation right shall be made (i) by check, (ii) in Common Stock (valued at the fair market value thereof as of the date of exercise), or (iii) partly in the manner provided in clause (i) and partly in the manner provided in clause (ii), all as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. If the Committee shall determine to make all of such payments in Common Stock, no fractional shares shall be issued and no payments shall be made in lieu of fractional shares.
(d) The grant or exercisability of any stock appreciation right may be subject to such conditions as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine, including a change of ownership or control of the Company or an Affiliate. A stock appreciation right may be deemed to be automatically exercised upon the occurrence of such events or conditions as may be determined by the Committee in an applicable Plan agreement.
2.3 Special ISO Requirements. In order for a grantee to receive special tax treatment with respect to stock acquired under an option granted as an incentive stock option, the grantee of such option must be, at all times during the period beginning on the date of grant and ending on the day three months before the date of exercise of such option, an employee of the Company or any of the Companys parent or subsidiary corporations (within the meaning of Code section 424), or of a corporation or a parent or subsidiary corporation of such corporation issuing or assuming a stock option in a transaction in which Code section 424(a) applies. If an option granted under the Plan is intended to be an incentive stock option, then the option exercise price per share shall in no event be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of such grant. If an option granted under the Plan is intended to be an incentive stock option, and if the grantee, at the time of grant, owns stock possessing 10 percent or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the grantees employer corporation or of its parent or subsidiary corporation, then (i) the option exercise price per share shall in no event be less than 110% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of such grant and (ii) such option shall not be exercisable after the expiration of five years after the date such option is granted. Options granted under the Plan that are
3
intended to be incentive stock options may also have additional limitations pursuant to the Code.
2.4 Restricted and Unrestricted Stock Awards.
(a) The Committee may grant restricted stock awards, alone or in tandem with other Awards under the Plan, to such key personnel, and subject to such restrictions, terms and conditions, as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion and as shall be evidenced by the applicable Plan agreements. The vesting of a restricted stock award granted under the Plan may be conditioned upon the completion of a specified period of employment, or in the case of directors who are not employees of the Company or its Affiliates, their services as such, with the Company or any Affiliate, upon the attainment of specified performance goals, and/or upon such other criteria as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion.
(b) The Committee may grant unrestricted stock awards, alone or in tandem with other Awards under the Plan, to such key personnel and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion and as shall be evidenced by the applicable Plan agreements.
(c) Each Plan agreement with respect to a restricted stock award shall set forth the amount (if any) to be paid by the grantee with respect to such Award and when or in what circumstances such payment is required to be made. If a grantee made any payment for a restricted stock award or portion thereof which does not vest, appropriate payment shall be made to the grantee upon or following such forfeiture if and on such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine.
(d) Upon the grant of a restricted stock award, the Company shall promptly instruct its transfer agent to record the restricted stock as the property of the grantee, subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Plan agreement. The Committee may provide that a certificate or certificates representing the shares underlying a restricted stock award shall be registered in the grantees name and bear an appropriate legend specifying that such shares are not transferable and are subject to the provisions of the Plan and the restrictions, terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Plan agreement, or that such certificate or certificates shall be held in escrow by the Company on behalf of the grantee until such shares become vested or are forfeited, all on such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine. Except as the applicable Plan agreement may otherwise provide, no shares underlying a restricted stock award may be assigned, transferred, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by the grantee until such shares have vested in accordance with the terms of such Award. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.2, upon the vesting of a restricted stock award in accordance with the terms of such Award, the Company shall promptly instruct its transfer agent to eliminate any notation of the restrictions with respect to the shares and to record the shares as outstanding, with no restrictions. After any restricted stock award shall vest, the Company may issue or reissue to the grantee (or to the grantees designated beneficiary in the event of the grantees death) a certificate or certificates for the Common Stock underlying such restricted stock award without the restrictive legend on such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine.
(e) If and to the extent that the applicable Plan agreement may so provide, a grantee shall have the right to vote and receive dividends on the shares underlying a restricted stock award granted under the Plan. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Plan agreement, any stock received as a dividend on, or in connection with a stock split of, the shares underlying a restricted stock award shall be subject to the same restrictions as the shares underlying such restricted stock award.
(f) In the event that the Committee grants a stock award that is intended to constitute qualified performance-based compensation within the meaning of Code section 162(m), the following rules shall apply (as such rules may be modified by the Committee to conform with Code section 162(m) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder as may be in effect from time to time, and any amendments, revisions or successor provisions thereto): (i) payments under the stock award shall be made solely on account of the attainment of one or more objective performance goals established in writing by the Committee not later than 90 days after the commencement of the period of service to which the stock award relates (or if less, 25% of such period of service); (ii) the performance goal(s) to which the stock award relates shall be based on one or more of the following business criteria applied to the grantee, a business unit or the Company and/or an Affiliate: stock price, market share, sales, earnings per share, return on equity, assets, capital or investment, net income, operating income, operating income before restructuring charges, plus depreciation and amortization other than relating to early extinguishment of debt and debt issuance costs, sales growth, expense targets, working capital targets relating to inventory and/or accounts receivable, operating margin, planning accuracy (as measured by comparing planned results to actual results), and implementation or completion of critical projects or processes; (iii) in any year, a grantee may not be granted stock awards covering a total of more than 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2.4(f); and (iv) once granted, the Committee may not have discretion to increase the amount payable under such stock award, provided, however, that whether or not a stock award is intended to constitute qualified performance-based compensation within the meaning of Code section 162(m), the Committee shall make appropriate adjustments in performance goals under an Award to reflect the impact of extraordinary items not reflected in such goals. For purposes of the Plan, extraordinary items shall be defined as (1) any profit or loss attributable to acquisitions or
4
dispositions of stock or assets, (2) any changes in accounting standards that may be required or permitted by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or adopted by the Company after the goal is established, (3) all items of gain, loss or expense for the year related to restructuring charges for the Company, (4) all items of gain, loss or expense for the year determined to be extraordinary or unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence or related to the disposal of a segment of a business all determined in accordance with standards established by Opinion No. 30 of the Accounting Principles Board or any successor thereto (APB Opinion No. 30), (5) all items of gain, loss or expense for the year related to discontinued operations that do not qualify as a segment of a business as defined in APB Opinion No. 30, and (6) such other items as may be prescribed by Code section 162(m) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder as may be in effect from time to time, and any amendments, revisions or successor provisions and any changes thereto. The Committee shall, prior to making any award under this Section 2.4(f), certify in writing that all applicable performance goals have been attained.
2.5 Restricted Stock Unit Awards.
(a) The Committee may grant restricted stock unit awards, alone or in tandem with other Awards under the Plan, to acquire shares of Common Stock to such key personnel and in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall from time to time in its sole discretion determine, subject to the terms of the Plan.
(b) Each restricted stock unit award under the Plan shall relate to a specified maximum number of shares, and shall be exchangeable, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, for all or a portion of such shares, or for cash (or such other form of consideration as may be determined by the Committee equivalent in value thereto) in up to an amount equal to the fair market value of an equal number of unrestricted shares, at the end of such specified period (an award cycle) as may be established by the Committee. The number of such shares which may be deliverable pursuant to such restricted stock unit award shall be conditioned upon the completion of a specified period of employment (or in the case of directors who are not employees of the Company or its Affiliates, their services as such) with the Company or an Affiliate, upon the attainment over such award cycle of such measure of the performance of the Company, an Affiliate, one or more of its or their respective divisions or other business units, or the grantee, and/or upon such other criteria as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion. The Committee may make such provision in the Plan agreement for full or partial credit, prior to completion of such award cycle or achievement of the degree of attainment of any measures of performance specified in connection with such restricted stock unit award, in the event of the participants death, retirement or other cessation of services, or disability, or in such other circumstances, as the Committee in its sole discretion may determine to be fair and equitable to the participant or in the interest of the Company.
(c) In the event that the Committee grants a restricted stock unit award that is intended to constitute qualified performance-based compensation within the meaning of Code section 162(m), the following rules shall apply (as such rules may be modified by the Committee to conform with Code section 162(m) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder as may be in effect from time to time, and any amendments, revisions or successor provisions, and any changes thereto): (i) payments under the restricted stock unit award shall be made solely on account of the attainment of one or more objective performance goals established in writing by the Committee not later than 90 days after the commencement of the period of service to which the restricted stock unit award relates (or if less, 25% of such period of service); (ii) the performance goal(s) to which the restricted stock unit award relates shall be based on one or more of the following business criteria applied to the grantee, a business unit or the Company and/or an Affiliate: stock price, market share, sales, earnings per share, return on equity, assets, capital or investment, net income, operating income, operating income before restructuring charges, plus depreciation and amortization other than relating to early extinguishment of debt and debt issuance costs, sales growth, expense targets, working capital targets relating to inventory and/or accounts receivable, operating margin, planning accuracy (as measured by comparing planned results to actual results), and implementation or completion of critical projects or processes; (iii) in any year, a grantee may not be granted restricted stock unit awards covering a total of more than 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2.5(c); and (iv) once granted, the Committee may not have discretion to increase the amount payable under such restricted stock unit award, provided, however, that whether or not a restricted stock unit award is intended to constitute qualified performance-based compensation within the meaning of Code section 162(m), the Committee shall make appropriate adjustments in performance goals under an Award to reflect the impact of extraordinary items not reflected in such goals. For purposes of the Plan, extraordinary items shall be defined as (1) any profit or loss attributable to acquisitions or dispositions of stock or assets, (2) any changes in accounting standards that may be required or permitted the Financial Accounting Standards Board or adopted by the Company after the goal is established, (3) all items of gain, loss or expense for the year related to restructuring charges for the Company, (4) all items of gain, loss or expense for the year determined to be extraordinary or unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence or related to the disposal of a segment of a business all determined in accordance with standards established by APB Opinion No. 30, (5) all items of gain, loss or expense for the year related to discontinued operations that do not qualify as a segment of a business as defined in APB Opinion No. 30, and (6) such other items as may be prescribed by Code section 162(m) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder as may be in effect from time to time, and any amendments, revisions or successor provisions and any changes thereto. The Committee shall, prior to making any award under this Section 2.5(c), certify in writing that all applicable performance goals have been attained.
5
(d) To the extent determined by the Committee and provided in a Plan agreement, dividend equivalents shall be credited to a grantee in respect of restricted stock units held by the grantee. Such dividend equivalents shall be converted into additional restricted stock units by dividing (i) the aggregate amount or value of the dividends paid with respect to that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of restricted stock units then credited by (ii) the fair market value per share of Common Stock on the payment date for such dividend. The additional restricted stock units credited by reason of such dividend equivalents shall be subject to all the terms and conditions of the restricted stock unit to which they relate.
2.6 Agreements Evidencing Awards.
(a) Awards granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by written agreements (Plan agreements) which shall contain such provisions not inconsistent with the terms and provisions of the Plan as the Committee may in its sole discretion deem necessary or desirable.
(b) Each Plan agreement with respect to the granting of an Award other than a related stock appreciation right shall set forth the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Award granted thereby. Each Plan agreement with respect to the granting of a related stock appreciation right shall set forth the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the related option which shall also be subject to the related stock appreciation right granted thereby.
(c) Each Plan agreement with respect to the granting of an option shall set forth the amount (the option exercise price) payable by the grantee to the Company in connection with the exercise of the option evidenced thereby. The option exercise price per share shall in no event be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date the option is granted.
(d) Each Plan agreement with respect to a stock appreciation right shall set forth the amount (the appreciation base) over which appreciation will be measured upon exercise of the stock appreciation right evidenced thereby. The appreciation base per share of Common Stock subject to an unrelated stock appreciation right shall in no event be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date the stock appreciation right is granted. The appreciation base per share of Common Stock subject to a related stock appreciation right shall in all cases be the option exercise price per share of Common Stock subject to the related option.
2.7 Exercise of Related Stock Appreciation Right Reduces Shares Subject to Option. Upon any exercise of a related stock appreciation right or any portion thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the related option shall be reduced by the number of shares of Common Stock in respect of which such stock appreciation right shall have been exercised.
2.8 Exercisability of Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Awards; Cancellation of Awards in Certain Cases.
Subject to the other provisions of the Plan:
(a) Except as hereinafter provided, each Plan agreement with respect to an option or stock appreciation right shall set forth the period during which and the conditions subject to which the option or stock appreciation right evidenced thereby shall be exercisable, and each Plan agreement with respect to a restricted stock award or restricted stock unit award shall set forth the period after which and the conditions subject to which the shares underlying such Award shall vest or be deliverable, all such periods and conditions to be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. Unless the applicable Plan agreement otherwise specifies: no option or stock appreciation right shall be exercisable prior to the first anniversary of the date of grant, and each option or stock appreciation right granted under the Plan shall become cumulatively exercisable with respect to 25% of the shares of Common Stock subject thereto, rounded down to the next lower full share, on the first anniversary of the date of grant, and with respect to an additional 25% of the shares of Common Stock subject thereto, rounded down to the next lower full share, on each of the second and third anniversaries of the date of grant, and shall become 100% exercisable on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant, and shall remain 100% exercisable until the expiration date of the Award and shall terminate and cease to be exercisable on the day after the expiration date of the Award.
(b) Except as provided in Section 2.10(e), (i) no option or stock appreciation right awarded on or after April 14, 2004 may be exercised more than 7 years after the date of grant, and (ii) no shares of Common Stock underlying any other Award under the Plan may vest or become deliverable more than 10 years after the date of grant.
(c) Unless the applicable Plan agreement otherwise provides, a related stock appreciation right shall be exercisable at any time during the period that the related option may be exercised.
6
(d) Unless the applicable Plan agreement otherwise provides, an option or stock appreciation right granted under the Plan may be exercised from time to time as to all or part of the full number of shares as to which such option or stock appreciation right shall then be exercisable.
(e) An option or stock appreciation right shall be exercisable by the filing of a written notice of exercise with the Company, on such form and in such manner as the Committee shall in its sole discretion prescribe, and by payment in accordance with Section 2.9.
(f) Unless the applicable Plan agreement otherwise provides: in the case of an option or stock appreciation right, at any time after the Companys receipt of written notice of exercise of an option or stock appreciation right and prior to the option or stock appreciation right exercise date (as defined in subsection (g) of this Section 2.8), and in the case of a stock award or restricted stock unit award, at any time within the six business days immediately preceding the otherwise applicable date on which the previously restricted stock award or restricted stock unit award would otherwise have become unconditionally vested or the shares subject thereto unconditionally deliverable, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the right, by written notice to the grantee, to cancel such Award or any part thereof if the Committee, in its sole judgment, determines that legal or contractual restrictions and/or blockage and/or other market considerations would make the Companys acquisition of Common Stock from the public markets, the Companys issuance of Common Stock to the grantee, the grantees acquisition of Common Stock from the Company and/or the grantees sale of Common Stock to the public markets illegal, impracticable or inadvisable. If the Committee determines to cancel all or any part of an Award, the Company shall pay to the grantee an amount equal to the excess of (i) the aggregate fair market value of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Award or part thereof canceled (determined as of the option or stock appreciation right exercise date, or the date that shares would have been unconditionally vested or delivered in the case of a stock award or restricted stock unit award), over (ii) the aggregate option exercise price or appreciation base of the option or stock appreciation right or part thereof canceled (in the case of an option or stock appreciation right) or any amount payable as a condition of delivery of shares (in the case of a stock award or restricted stock unit award). Such amount shall be delivered to the grantee as soon as practicable after such Award or part thereof is canceled.
(g) Unless the applicable Plan agreement otherwise provides, the option exercise date and the stock appreciation right exercise date shall be the date that written notice of exercise, together with payment, are received by the Company; provided that if subsection (f) of this Section 2.8 is applicable, the option exercise date or stock appreciation right exercise date shall be the later of: (i) the sixth business day following the date written notice of exercise is received by the Company; and (ii) the date when payment is received by the Company.
(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan (but except as otherwise provided in this subsection (h)), Awards other than options and stock appreciation rights shall vest (i.e., become nonforfeitable) over a minimum period of three years; provided that (i) in the event of a Reorganization Event (as defined in Section 3.11(a)) or, in respect of such an Award to any grantee, in the event of the grantees death, disability, or retirement, no such minimum vesting period shall be required, (ii) to the extent vesting in such an Award is conditioned upon the achievement of one or more performance goals, the Award shall vest over a minimum period of one year (rather than over a minimum period of three years), and (iii) subject to Section 3.5 (relating to adjustments upon changes in capitalization), as of any date, the total number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which Awards may be made under this Section 2.8(h) without minimum vesting requirements shall not exceed (A) 6,565,000 shares (1) less the sum (without duplication) of (a) the number of shares subject to outstanding Awards granted pursuant to this clause (iii) or parts thereof not vested pursuant to the lapse of restrictions, (b) the number of shares subject to Awards granted pursuant to this clause (iii) or parts thereof which are canceled by the Committee and for which cash is paid in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.8(f), and (c) the number of shares subject to Awards granted pursuant to this clause (iii) or parts thereof which have vested pursuant to the lapse of restrictions, (2) plus (a) the number of shares subject to Awards granted pursuant to this clause (iii) or parts thereof not vested pursuant to the lapse of restrictions which are canceled without payment of cash or other consideration in connection with termination of the grantees employment, services or otherwise and (b) shares of Common Stock withheld by the Company for taxes upon vesting of any such Awards granted pursuant to this clause (iii)). For purposes of this subsection (h), vesting over a three-year period or one-year period (as the case may be) may include periodic vesting determined by the Committee over such period if the rate of such vesting is proportional throughout such period; provided, however, that, other than Awards granted under clause (iii) of this Section 2.8(h), Awards other than options and stock appreciation rights may not include periodic vesting thereunder for any interval of less than one year.
2.9 Payment of Award Price.
(a) Unless the applicable Plan agreement otherwise provides or the Committee in its sole discretion otherwise determines, any written notice of exercise of an option or stock appreciation right must be accompanied by payment of the full option or stock appreciation exercise price. If Section 2.8(g) applies, and the six business day delay for the option
7
exercise date or stock appreciation right exercise date is applied, the grantee shall have no right to pay the option or stock appreciation right exercise price or to receive Common Stock with respect to the option or stock appreciation right exercise prior to the lapse of such six business days.
(b) Payment of the option exercise price and of any other payment required by the Plan agreement to be made pursuant to any other Award shall be made in any combination of the following: (i) by certified or official bank check payable to the Company (or the equivalent thereof acceptable to the Committee); (ii) with the consent of the Committee in its sole discretion, by personal check (subject to collection) which may in the Committees sole discretion be deemed conditional; and/or (iii) unless otherwise provided in the applicable Plan agreement, by delivery of previously-acquired shares of Common Stock owned by the grantee for at least six months (or such longer or shorter period as the Committee may in its sole discretion determine that will not result in variable accounting treatment) having a fair market value (determined as of the option exercise date, in the case of options, or other relevant payment date as determined by the Committee, in the case of other Awards) equal to the portion of the exercise price being paid thereby or attestation as to the ownership of such shares of Common Stock by the grantee, provided that the Committee may require, as a condition of accepting any such delivery (or attestation as to ownership) of shares of Common Stock, that the grantee furnish an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company to the effect that such delivery (or attestation) would not result in the grantee incurring any liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act and does not require any Consent (as defined in Section 3.2(b)) (a Compliance Opinion). Payment in accordance with clause (i) of this Section 2.9(b) may be deemed to be satisfied, if and to the extent that the applicable Plan agreement so provides or the Committee permits, by delivery to the Company of an assignment of a sufficient amount of the proceeds from the sale of Common Stock to be acquired pursuant to the Award to pay for all of the Common Stock to be acquired pursuant to the Award and an authorization to the broker or selling agent to pay that amount to the Company and to effect such sale at the time of exercise or other delivery of shares of Common Stock, provided that the Committee may require, as a condition of accepting any such payment, that the grantee furnish a Compliance Opinion. As soon as practicable after receipt of full payment, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Sections 2.8(f) and 3.2, deliver to the grantee a certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock deliverable pursuant to such Award, which certificate or certificates may bear such legends as the Company may deem appropriate concerning restrictions on their disposition in accordance with applicable federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations or otherwise.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or the applicable Plan agreement, no grantee shall, directly or indirectly, sell any shares of Common Stock unless (i) such grantee owns the shares to be sold or has exercised an Award with respect thereto and the shares to be sold are immediately issuable to the grantee pursuant to such exercise (subject to Section 2.8(g) if applicable) and (ii) such grantee delivers such shares in settlement in accordance with all settlement rules applicable to such transaction.

10
including, without limitation, any amendment which would (i) accelerate the time or times at which an Award may vest or be exercised and/or (ii) extend the scheduled expiration date of the Award, except that no such amendment shall impair any rights under any Award theretofore made under the Plan to the grantee without the consent of the grantee.
3.2 Restrictions.
(a) If the Committee shall at any time determine that any Consent (as hereinafter defined) is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of any Award under the Plan, the acquisition, issuance or purchase of shares or other rights thereunder, any determination regarding vesting or termination of any Award or satisfaction of any performance or other condition thereunder or the taking of any other action thereunder (each such action being hereinafter referred to as a Plan Action), then such Plan Action shall not be required to be taken, in whole or in part, unless and until such Consent shall have been effected or obtained to the full satisfaction of the Committee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that (i) the Committee shall be entitled under the Plan to make any payment in cash, Common Stock or both, and (ii) the Committee shall determine that Consent is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, payment in any one or more of such forms, then the Committee shall be entitled to determine not to make any payment whatsoever until such Consent shall have been obtained in the manner aforesaid.
(b) The term Consent as used herein with respect to any Plan Action means (i) any and all listings, registrations or qualifications in respect thereof upon any securities exchange or other self-regulatory organization or under any federal, state, local or foreign law, rule or regulation, (ii) the expiration, elimination or satisfaction of any prohibitions, restrictions or limitations under any federal, state, local or foreign law, rule or regulation or the rules of any securities exchange or other self-regulatory organization, (iii) any and all written agreements and representations by the grantee with respect to the disposition of shares, or with respect to any other matter, which the Committee shall deem necessary or desirable to comply with the terms of any such listing, registration or qualification or to obtain an exemption from the requirement that any such listing, qualification or registration be made, and (iv) any and all consents, clearances and approvals in respect of a Plan Action by any governmental or other regulatory bodies or any parties to any loan agreements or other contractual obligations of the Company or any of its Affiliates.
3.3 Nontransferability.
(a) No Award granted to any grantee under the Plan and no rights under any Plan agreement shall be assignable or transferable by the grantee (voluntarily or by operation of law) other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution to the extent provided by the Plan and any applicable Plan agreement. During the lifetime of the grantee, all rights with respect to any Award granted to the grantee under the Plan or under any Plan agreement shall be exercisable only by such grantee.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 3.3(a), the Committee may in the applicable Plan agreement or at any time thereafter provide that options granted hereunder which are not intended to qualify as incentive stock options under Code section 422 may be transferred without consideration by the grantee, subject to such rules as the Committee may adopt to preserve the purposes of the Plan, to:
(i) the grantees spouse, children or grandchildren (including adopted and stepchildren and grandchildren) (collectively, the Immediate Family);
(ii) a trust solely for the benefit of the grantee and or members of his or her Immediate Family; or
(iii) a partnership or limited liability company whose only partners or shareholders are the grantee and/or members of his or her Immediate Family members
(each transferee described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above is hereinafter referred to as a Permitted Transferee); provided that the grantee provides the Committee with advance written notice describing the terms and conditions of the proposed transfer and the Committee notifies the grantee in writing that such a transfer would comply with the requirements of the Plan and any applicable Plan agreement; and provided further that with respect to options granted to officers and directors subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, no such options may be transferred within six months of the grant date to the extent such transfer would result in the grant of the option being deemed to constitute a non-exempt purchase under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. The terms of any such transferred option shall apply to the Permitted Transferee, except that Permitted Transferees shall not be entitled to transfer any options, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

3.4 Withholding Taxes.
(a) Whenever under the Plan shares of Common Stock are to be delivered upon exercise of an option or stock appreciation right, upon the lapse of restrictions on restricted stock awards, pursuant to restricted stock unit awards or otherwise, the Committee shall be entitled to require as a condition of delivery that the grantee remit an amount sufficient to satisfy all federal, state and other governmental withholding tax requirements related thereto. Whenever cash is to be paid to a grantee under the Plan (whether upon the exercise or cancellation of an Award or otherwise), the Company shall be entitled as a condition of its payment to deduct therefrom, or from any compensation, expense reimbursement or other payments due to the grantee, an amount sufficient to satisfy all federal, state and other governmental withholding tax and like requirements related thereto or to the delivery of any shares of Common Stock under the Plan.
(b) With the approval of the Committee, a grantee may satisfy the foregoing withholding requirements, in whole or in part, by electing to have the Company withhold from delivery shares of Common Stock having a fair market value (determined as of the date as of which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined) equal to the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld. A grantee may also satisfy, in whole or in part, the foregoing withholding requirements by delivery of unrestricted shares of Common Stock owned by the grantee for at least six months (or such shorter or longer period as the Committee may approve or require that will not result in variable accounting treatment) having a fair market value (determined as of the date of such delivery by the grantee) equal to the amount otherwise payable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may require, as a condition of accepting any such delivery or approving any such withholding of shares of Common Stock, that the grantee furnish a Compliance Opinion.
3.5 Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization. In the event that any dividend or other distribution is declared by the Company (whether in the form of cash, Company stock, or other property), or there occurs any recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or share exchange, or other similar corporate transaction or event with respect to the Company, if the Committee determines in its sole discretion that it is appropriate to do so, (i) the number and kind of shares of Common Stock or other property which may thereafter be issued in connection with Awards, (ii) the number and kind of shares of Common Stock, cash, or other property to be issued or issuable in respect of outstanding Awards, (iii) the exercise price, grant price or purchase price relating to any Award, and (iv) the maximum number of shares subject to Awards which may be awarded to any grantee during any period shall be equitably adjusted (including without limitation by way of cancellation of an Award in exchange for a cash payment) to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the rights of grantees without change in any aggregate purchase price; provided that no incentive stock option granted under the Plan shall be adjusted in a manner that causes such option to fail to continue to qualify as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Code section 422 without the consent of the grantee. Adjustments under this Section 3.5 shall be made by the Committee, whose determination as to what adjustments shall be made, and the extent thereof, shall be final, binding and conclusive.
3.6 Right of Discharge Reserved. Nothing in the Plan or in any Plan agreement shall confer upon any officer, director, employee or other person the right to continue in the employment of, or to continue performing services as a director for, the Company or any of its Affiliates or affect any right which the Company or any of its Affiliates may have to terminate the employment or services of such officer, director, employee or other person.
3.7 No Rights as a Stockholder. No grantee or other person exercising an option or stock appreciation right or entitled to delivery of shares of Common Stock pursuant to any other Award shall have any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to shares subject to an option or stock appreciation right or shares deliverable upon exercise of any other Award until the issuance of a stock certificate to such person for such shares or such person is otherwise deemed to have been issued shares pursuant to this Plan (including without limitation pursuant to Section 2.4(d)). Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.5, no adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights (whether ordinary or extraordinary, and whether in cash, securities or other property) for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is registered in the name of the grantee. In the case of a grantee of a restricted stock award, the grantee shall have the rights of a stockholder of the Company if and only to the extent provided in the applicable Plan agreement.
3.8 Nature of Payments.
(a) Any and all grants of options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards and restricted stock unit awards and payments of cash or issuances of shares of Common Stock hereunder shall be granted, issued, delivered or paid, as the case may be, in consideration of services performed for the Company or for its Affiliates by the grantee.
(b) All such grants, issuances and payments shall constitute a special incentive payment to the grantee and shall not, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, be taken into account in calculating the amount of compensation of the grantee for the purposes of determining any pension, retirement, death or other benefits under (i) any pension, retirement, life insurance or other benefit plan of the Company or any Affiliate or (ii) any agreement between the Company or any Affiliate, on the one hand, and the grantee on the other hand.
|
|
12 |
(c) By accepting an Award under the Plan, the grantee shall thereby be understood to have waived any claim to continued exercise or vesting of an Award or to damages or severance entitlement related to non-continuation of the Award beyond the period provided herein or in the applicable Plan agreement, notwithstanding any contrary provision in any written employment contract or other agreement with the grantee, whether any such agreement is executed before or after the grant date of the Award.
3.9 Non-Uniform Determinations. The Committees determinations under the Plan need not be uniform and may be made by it selectively among persons who receive, or are eligible to receive, Awards under the Plan (whether or not such persons are similarly situated). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee shall be entitled, among other things, to make non-uniform and selective determinations, and to enter into non-uniform and selective Plan agreements, as to (a) the persons to receive Awards under the Plan, (b) the terms and provisions of Awards under the Plan, (c) the exercise by the Committee of its discretion in respect of the exercise of rights pursuant to the terms of the Plan or any Plan agreement, and (d) the treatment of leaves of absences, disability leaves, terminations for cause or good reason and other determinations under the Plan or any Plan agreement.
3.10 Other Payments or Awards. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be deemed in any way to limit or restrict the Company, any Affiliate or the Committee from making any award or payment or granting any right to any person under any other plan, arrangement or understanding, whether now existing or hereafter in effect.
3.11 Reorganization.
(a) In the event that Revlon or any successor is merged or consolidated with another corporation and, whether or not Revlon or such successor shall be the surviving corporation, there shall be any change in the shares of Common Stock as then constituted by reason of such merger or consolidation, or in the event that all or substantially all of the assets of the Company are acquired by another person, or in the event of a reorganization or liquidation of Revlon or any successor, or other similar transaction (each such event being hereinafter referred to as a Reorganization Event) or in the event that the Board shall propose that Revlon or any successor enter into a Reorganization Event, then the Committee may in its sole discretion, by written notice to a grantee: (1) provide that such grantees options and stock appreciation rights and all other Awards requiring action on the part of such grantee will be terminated unless such grantee exercises or takes such action within 30 days (or such longer period as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion) after the date of such notice; provided however that if the Committee takes such action the Committee also shall accelerate to an appropriate earlier date the dates upon which all outstanding options and stock appreciation rights of such grantee shall be exercisable and such action under such other Awards may be taken; or (2) accelerate to an appropriate earlier date the dates upon which all outstanding options and stock appreciation rights of such grantee shall be exercisable and the dates upon which action may be taken under other Awards requiring action on the part of such grantee. The Committee also may in its sole discretion, by written notice to a grantee, provide that the restrictions on restricted stock awards lapse and the performance and other conditions of other Awards shall be adjusted in the event of a Reorganization Event upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine.
(b) Whenever deemed appropriate by the Committee, the actions referred to in Section 3.11(a) may be made conditional upon the consummation of the applicable Reorganization Event.
3.12 Legend on Certificates. All certificates for shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to Awards hereunder may be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in such form as the Company may require with respect to any applicable restrictions on the sale or transfer of shares.
3.13 Section Headings. The section headings contained herein are for the purposes of convenience only and are not intended to define or limit the contents of said sections.
3.14 Term of Plan. The Plan shall terminate on April 14, 2014, and no Awards shall thereafter be made under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Awards made under the Plan prior to such termination date shall remain in effect until such Awards have been satisfied or terminated in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Plan and the applicable Plan agreement.
3.15 Tenure. A participants right, if any, to continue to serve the Company or any of its Affiliates as a director, officer, employee or otherwise shall not be enlarged or otherwise affected by his or her designation as a participant under the Plan.
3.16 Unfunded Plan. Participants shall have no right, title, or interest whatsoever in or to any investments which the Company may make to aid it in meeting its obligations under the Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action taken
|
|
13 |
pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any participant, beneficiary, legal representative or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. All payments to be made hereunder shall be paid from the general funds of the Company and no special or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of such amounts except as expressly set forth in the Plan. The Plan is not intended to be subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.
3.17 Governing Law. This Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such state.
3.18 Conditions. If pursuant to Section 2.10(f) or Section 3.11(a) the dates upon which options shall be exercisable are accelerated, it shall be on the condition that with respect to options granted to officers and directors subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act the shares underlying such options may not be sold by any such individual (or their estate or Permitted Transferee) within 6 months after the grant of the option to the extent such sale would result in the grant of the option being deemed to constitute a non-exempt purchase under Section 16 of the Exchange Act.
