NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except per share amounts)
(1) Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Revlon, Inc. (and together with its subsidiaries, the ‘‘Company’’) conducts its business exclusively through its direct wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Revlon Consumer Products Corporation and its subsidiaries (‘‘Products Corporation’’). The Company’s vision is to provide glamour, excitement and innovation to consumers through high-quality products at affordable prices. The Company operates in a single segment and manufactures, markets and sells an extensive array of cosmetics, women’s hair color, beauty tools, fragrances, skincare, anti-perspirants/deodorants and other personal care products. The Company’s principal customers include large mass volume retailers and chain drug stores in the U.S., as well as certain department stores and other specialty stores, such as perfumeries, outside the U.S. The Company also sells beauty products to U.S. military exchanges and commissaries and has a licen sing business pursuant to which the Company licenses certain of its key brand names to third parties for complementary beauty-related products and accessories.
Revlon, Inc. is a direct and indirect majority-owned subsidiary of MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings Inc. (‘‘MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings’’ and, together with certain of its affiliates other than the Company, ‘‘MacAndrews & Forbes’’), a corporation wholly-owned by Ronald O. Perelman.
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited. In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been made. The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company after elimination of all material intercompany balances and transactions.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Significant estimates made in the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include, but are not limited to, allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation reserves, expected sales returns and allowances, certain assumptions related to the recoverability of intangible and long-lived assets, reserves for estimated tax liabilities, r estructuring costs, certain estimates and assumptions used in the calculation of the fair value of stock options issued to employees and non-employee directors and the derived compensation expense and certain estimates regarding the calculation of the net periodic benefit costs and the projected benefit obligation for the Company’s pension and other post-retirement plans. The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the ‘‘SEC’’) on March 5, 2008.
The Company’s results of operations and financial position for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for a full year.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, ‘‘Fair Value Measurements’’. This statement clarifies the definition of fair value of assets and liabilities, establishes a framework for measuring fair value of assets and liabilities and expands the disclosures on fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. However, the FASB deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 157 until the fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 as it relates to the fair value measurement requirements for nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are initially measured at fair value, but not measured at fair value in subsequent periods. These nonfinancial assets include goodwill and other

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except per share amounts)
indefinite-lived intangible assets which are included within other assets. In accordance with SFAS No. 157, the Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 with respect to financial assets and liabilities effective as of January 1, 2008 and its adoption did not have a material impact on its results of operations or financial condition. The Company is assessing the impact of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities and expects that this adoption will not have a material impact on its results of operations or financial condition.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, ‘‘Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133’’. This statement is intended to improve financial reporting of derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The provisions of SFAS No. 161 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 161 could have on its disclosures.
(2) Post-retirement Benefits
The components of net periodic benefit cost for the pension and the other post-retirement benefit plans for the first quarter of 2008 and 2007, respectively, are as follows:

The Company currently expects to contribute approximately $12.3 million to its pension plans and approximately $1.0 million to other post-retirement benefit plans in 2008. During the first quarter of 2008, $2.7 million and $0.2 million were contributed to the Company’s pension plans and other post-retirement benefit plans, respectively.
Relevant aspects of the qualified defined benefit pension plans, nonqualified pension plans and other post-retirement benefit plans sponsored by Products Corporation are disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, filed with the SEC on March 5, 2008.

(4) Basic and Diluted Loss Per Common Share
Shares used in basic loss per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding each period. Shares used in diluted loss per share include the dilutive effect of unvested restricted shares and outstanding stock options under the Stock Plan using the treasury stock method. Options to purchase 21,388,134 and 22,840,404 shares of Revlon, Inc. Class A common stock, par value of $0.01 per share (the ‘‘Class A Common Stock’’), with weighted average exercise prices of $4.15 and $4.61, respectively, were outstanding at March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Additionally, 10,582,005 and 7,245,643 shares of unvested restricted stock were outstanding as of March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Because the Company incurred losses for the first quarter of 2008 and 2007, these options and restricted shares are excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share as their effect would be ant idilutive. For each period presented, the amount of loss used in the calculation of diluted loss per common share was the same as the amount of loss used in the calculation of basic loss per common share. (See Note 10, ‘‘Subsequent Events’’, to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q regarding the planned reverse stock split).

(6) Restructuring Costs and Other, Net
During the first quarter of 2008, the Company recorded income of $6.2 million to restructuring costs and other, net, primarily due to a net gain of $6.0 million related to the sale of a non-core trademark. In addition, a $0.4 million reversal to restructuring costs was associated with the restructurings announced

in 2006 (the ‘‘2006 Programs’’), primarily due to the charges for employee severance and other employee-related termination costs being slightly lower than originally estimated. (See Note 2, ‘‘Restructuring Costs and Other, Net’’ to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the SEC on March 5, 2008.)

(8) Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments, primarily foreign currency forward exchange contracts (‘‘FX Contracts’’) intended to reduce the effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rate swap transactions (‘‘Interest Rate Swaps’’) intended to reduce the effects of floating interest rates.
Foreign Currency Forward Exchange Contracts
Products Corporation enters into FX Contracts primarily to hedge anticipated inventory purchases and certain intercompany payments denominated in foreign currencies. Such FX Contracts generally have maturities of less than one year. The Company does not apply hedge accounting to FX Contracts. The Company records these FX Contracts in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value and changes in fair value are immediately recognized in earnings.
The notional amount of the FX Contracts outstanding at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was $27.8 million and $23.6 million, respectively. At March 31, 2008, the change in the fair value of Products Corporation’s unexpired FX Contracts was $0.4 million, which was recognized in earnings. Also, at March 31, 2008, realized losses of $0.1 million from expired FX Contracts were recognized into earnings. Fair value is determined by using observable market transactions of spot and forward rates.
Interest Rate Swap Transaction
In September 2007, Products Corporation executed a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap transaction (the ‘‘2007 Interest Rate Swap’’) to hedge against fluctuations in variable interest rate payments on $150 million notional amount in Products Corporation’s long-term debt under its $840 million bank term loan facility (the ‘‘2006 Term Loan Facility’’). The 2007 Interest Rate Swap effectively fixed the interest rate on such notional amount at 8.692% for the 2-year term of the swap.
Products Corporation’s 2007 Interest Rate Swap qualifies for hedge accounting treatment under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, ‘‘Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities’’ (‘‘SFAS No. 133’’), and has been designated as a cash flow hedge. Accordingly, the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the 2007 Interest Rate Swap transaction is reported in other comprehensive loss. The ineffective portion of the changes in the fair value of the 2007 Interest Rate Swap is recognized in current period earnings. Any unrecognized income (loss) accumulated in other comprehensive loss related to the 2007 Interest Rate Swap are recorded in the Statement of Operations, primarily in interest expense, when the underlying transactions hedged are realized. The fair value of Products Corporation’s 2007 Interest Rate Swap was $(5.3) million at March 31, 2008. Fai r value is determined by using the applicable LIBOR index. (See Note 10, ‘‘Subsequent Events’’, to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q regarding an additional interest rate swap transaction entered into in April 2008, referred to as the 2008 Interest Rate Swap).

(10) Subsequent Events
2008 Interest Rate Swap Transaction
In April 2008, Products Corporation executed a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap transaction (the ‘‘2008 Interest Rate Swap’’) with a notional amount of $150.0 million over a period of two years relating to indebtedness under Products Corporation’s 2006 Term Loan Facility. The Company designated the 2008 Interest Rate Swap transaction as a cash flow hedge of the variable interest rate payments on Products Corporation’s 2006 Term Loan Facility. Under the terms of the 2008 Interest Rate Swap, Product Corporation is required to pay to the counterparty a quarterly fixed interest rate of 2.66% on the $150.0 million notional amount commencing in July 2008, while receiving a variable interest rate payment from the counterparty equal to three-month U.S. dollar LIBOR (which effectively fixed the interest rate on such notional amount at 6.66% for the 2-year term of the swap).
Reverse Stock Split
In April 2008, Revlon, Inc. announced its plans to effect a reverse stock split of Revlon, Inc.’s Class A and Class B common stock at a split ratio of 1-for-10. On April 10, 2008, Revlon, Inc.’s Board of Directors approved the reverse stock split and MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings delivered to Revlon, Inc. an executed written stockholders’ consent approving the reverse stock split. MacAndrews & Forbes, which is wholly owned by Ronald O. Perelman, Chairman of Revlon, Inc.’s Board of Directors, beneficially owned, as of March 31, 2008, approximately 58% of Revlon, Inc.’s Class A common stock and approximately 60% of Revlon, Inc.’s combined shares of Class A and Class B common stock, which together represented approximately 74% of the combined voting power of Revlon, Inc.’s Class A and Class B common stock as of such date. It is expected that the reverse stock split will be consummated in May or June of 2008. There can be no assurances that the reverse stock split will be consummated or that it will achieve its intended effects.

Revlon, Inc. (and together with its subsidiaries, the ‘‘Company’’) conducts its business exclusively through its direct wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Revlon Consumer Products Corporation and its subsidiaries (‘‘Products Corporation’’). Revlon, Inc. is a direct and indirect majority-owned subsidiary of MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings Inc. (‘‘MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings’’ and together with certain of its affiliates other than the Company, ‘‘MacAndrews & Forbes’’), a corporation wholly-owned by Ronald O. Perelman.
The Company’s vision is to provide glamour, excitement and innovation to consumers through high-quality products at affordable prices. The Company operates in a single segment and manufactures, markets and sells an extensive array of cosmetics, women’s hair color, beauty tools, fragrances, skincare, anti-perspirants/deodorants and other personal care products. The Company is one of the world’s leading cosmetics companies in the mass retail channel. The Company believes that its global brand name recognition, product quality and marketing experience have enabled it to create one of the strongest consumer brand franchises in the world.
The Company’s products are sold worldwide and marketed under such brand names as Revlon, including the Revlon ColorStay, Revlon Super Lustrous and Revlon Age Defying franchises, as well as the Almay brand, including the Almay Intense i-Color and Almay Smart Shade franchises, in cosmetics; Revlon Colorsilk in women’s hair color; Revlon in beauty tools; Charlie and Jean Naté in fragrances; Ultima II and Gatineau in skincare; and Mitchum and Bozzano in personal care products.
The Company’s principal customers include large mass volume retailers, chain drug and food stores (collectively, the ‘‘mass retail channel’’) in the U.S., as well as certain department stores and other specialty stores, such as perfumeries outside the U.S. The Company also sells beauty products to U.S. military exchanges and commissaries and has a licensing business pursuant to which the Company licenses certain of its key brand names to third parties for complimentary beauty-related products and accessories.
The Company was founded by Charles Revson, who revolutionized the cosmetics industry by introducing nail enamels matched to lipsticks in fashion colors over 75 years ago. Today, the Company has leading positions in a number of its principal product categories in the U.S. mass retail channel, including color cosmetics (face, lip, eye and nail categories), women’s hair color, beauty tools and anit-perspirants/deodorants. The Company also has leading positions in several product categories in certain foreign countries, including Australia, Canada and South Africa.
Overview of the Company’s Strategy
The Company’s business strategy includes:
• | Building and leveraging our strong brands: We are building and leveraging our brands, particularly the Revlon brand, across the categories in which we compete. In addition to Revlon and Almay brand color cosmetics, we are seeking to drive gro wth in other beauty care categories, including women’s hair color, beauty tools and anti-perspirants/ deodorants. We are implementing this strategy by developing and sustaining an innovative pipeline of new products and managing |

our product portfolio with the objective of profitable net sales growth over time. We intend to: 1) fully utilize our creative, marketing and research and development capabilities; 2) reinforce clear, consistent brand positioning through effective, innovative advertising and promotion; and 3) work with our retail customers to continue to increase the effectiveness of our in-store marketing, promotion and display walls across categories in which we compete. |
• | Improving the execution of our strategies and plans and providing for continued improvement in our organizational capability through enabling and developing our employees. We are continuing to build our organizational capability primarily through a focus on recruitment and retention of skilled people, providing opportunities for professional development, as well as new and expanded responsibilities and roles for employees who have demonstrated capability and rewarding our employees for success. |
• | Continuing to strengthen our international business. We are continuing to strengthen our international business through the following key strategies: |
• | Focusing on the Revlon brand and our other strong national and multi-national brands in key countries; |
• | Leveraging our Revlon and Almay brand marketing worldwide; |
• | Adapting our product portfolio to local consumer preferences and trends; |
• | Structuring the most effective business model in each country; and |
• | Strategically allocating resources and controlling costs. |
• | Improving our operating profit margins and cash flow. We are capitalizing on opportunities to improve our operating profit margins and cash flow over time, including reducing sales returns, costs of goods sold and general and administrative expenses and improving working capital management (in each case as a percentage of net sales), and we continue to focus on improving net sales growth. |
• | Continuing to improve our capital structure. We intend to continue to take advantage of opportunities to reduce and refinance our debt. |
The execution of this strategy includes the following recent actions:
• | For the second half of 2008, we are introducing an extensive lineup of new, innovative Revlon and Almay color cosmetics, which follows the extensive lineup of Revlon and Almay color cosmet ics launched in the first half of 2008; |
• | The Company futher implemented its brand ambassador strategy with the notable signings of Elle Macpherson to globally represent the Revlon brand, as well as Gucci Westman, world-renowned makeup artist, to serve as Revlon’s Global Artistic Director; |
• | In April 2008, Revlon, Inc. announced a plan to effect a reverse split of its Class A and Class B common stock at a 1-for-10 split ratio. The plan has been approved by Revlon, Inc’s Board of Directors and MacAndrews & Forbes, Revlon Inc.’s principal stockholder, and, accordingly, no further stockholder vote or action is required. Revlon, Inc. expects to consummate the reverse stock split in May or June of 2008; and |
• | In April 2008, Products Corporation entered into a $150 million two-year floating-to-fixed interest rate swap transaction related to indebtedness under its bank term loan, intended to reduce its exposure to interest rate volatility. Following the execution of this swap transaction and the $150 million two-year floating-to-fixed interest rate swap transaction that Products Corporation entered into in September 2007, approximately 60% of the Company’s total long-term debt is at fixed interest rates and approximately 40% is at floating interest rates. |

Overview of Net Sales and Earnings Results
Consolidated net sales in the first quarter of 2008 decreased $8.2 million, or 2.5%, to $320.4 million, as compared with $328.6 million in the first quarter of 2007. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations, consolidated net sales decreased by $18.1 million, or 5.5%, in the first quarter of 2008.
In the United States, net sales for the first quarter of 2008 decreased $16.1 million, or 8.3%, to $177.2 million, from $193.3 million in the first quarter of 2007. Net sales in the first quarter of 2007 benefited from the initial shipments of beauty care products, including the launches of Revlon Colorist hair color and Mitchum Smart Solid anti-perspirant and deodorant. Net sales of color cosmetics were slightly lower in the first quarter of 2008 compared to the year-ago period.
In the Company’s international operations, net sales for the first quarter of 2008 increased $7.9 million, or 5.8%, to $143.2 million, from $135.3 million in the first quarter of 2007. Foreign currency fluctuations favorably impacted net sales in the first quarter of 2008 by $9.9 million. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations, international net sales decreased by $2.0 million, or 1.5%, in the first quarter of 2008, compared to the first quarter of 2007. Higher net sales in the Company’s Asia Pacific and Latin America regions were more than offset by lower net sales in the Europe region.
Consolidated net loss for the first quarter of 2008 decreased $32.7 million to $2.5 million, as compared with a net loss of $35.2 million in the first quarter of 2007. The improvement in consolidated net loss was primarily due to:
• | lower selling, general and administrative expenses (‘‘SG&A’’), primarily due to $18.2 million of lower brand support, due to the fact that the first quarter of 2007 included significant brand support expenses related to the launch of Revlon Colorist haircolor; |
• | $6.0 million benefit from the sale of a non-core trademark; |
• | $4.4 million favorable impact due to foreign currency gains; |
• | lower interest expense due to the impact of lower average borrowing rates on comparable average debt levels; and |
• | with the foregoing factors partially offset by the impact of lower net sales. |

All U.S. share and related data herein for the Company’s brands are based upon retail dollar sales, which are derived from ACNielsen data. ACNielsen measures retail sales volume of products sold in the U.S. mass retail channel. Such data represent ACNielsen’s estimates based upon samples of retail share data gathered by ACNielsen and are therefore subject to some degree of variance and may contain slight rounding differences. ACNielsen’s data does not reflect sales volume from Wal-Mart, Inc., which is the Company’s largest customer, representing approximately 24% of the Company’s full year 2007 worldwide net sales, or sales volume from regional mass volume retailers, prestige, department stores, television shopping, door-to-door, specialty stores, internet, perfumeries or other distribution outlets, all of which are channels for cosmetics sales. From time to time, ACNielsen adjusts its methodology for data collection and reporting, which may result in adjustments to the categories and share data tracked by ACNielsen for both current and prior periods.
Overview of Financing Activities
In January 2008, Products Corporation entered into its previously-announced $170 million MacAndrews & Forbes Senior Subordinated Term Loan Agreement.

United States.
In the United States, net sales decreased in the first quarter 2008, as net sales in the first quarter of 2007 benefited from the initial shipments of beauty care products, including the launches of Revlon Colorist hair color and Mitchum Smart Solid anti-perspirant and deodorant. Net sales of color cosmetics were slightly lower in the first quarter of 2008 compared to the year-ago period.
International.
In the Company’s international operations, foreign currency fluctuations favorably impacted net sales in the first quarter of 2008 by $9.9 million. Excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, the decrease in net sales in the first quarter of 2008 in the Company’s international operations, as compared with the first quarter 2007, reflected higher net sales in Asia Pacific and Latin America, which were more than offset by lower net sales in Europe.
In Asia Pacific, which is comprised of Asia Pacific and Africa, the increase in net sales, excluding the favorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations, was due primarily to higher shipments in South Africa, Hong Kong, Taiwan and duty-free businesses (which together contributed approximately 4.2 percentage points to the increase in net sales for the region for the first quarter of 2008, as compared with the first quarter of 2007). This increase was partially offset by lower shipments in Japan (which offset by approximately 0.9 percentage points the increase in net sales for the region for the first quarter of 2008, as compared with the first quarter of 2007). The higher shipments in South Africa were driven primarily by growth in shipments of color cosmetics and beauty care products. The higher shipments in Hong Kong and Taiwan were driven primarily by growth in shipments of color cosmetics. The lower ship ments in Japan were driven primarily by a decline in shipments of color cosmetics.
In Europe, which is comprised of Europe, Canada and the Middle East, the decrease in net sales, excluding the favorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations, was due primarily to lower shipments in the U.K. and Italy (which together contributed approximately 11.4 percentage points to the decrease in

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(all tabular amounts in millions, except per share amounts)
net sales for the region for the first quarter of 2008, as compared with the first quarter of 2007). This decrease was partially offset by higher shipments in France (which offset by approximately 2.3 percentage points the decrease in net sales for the region for the first quarter of 2008, as compared with the first quarter of 2007). In the first quarter of 2007, net sales in the U.K. were positively impacted by retail space gains related to the Revlon brand and higher closeout sales. The higher shipments in France were driven primarily by growth in shipments of Gatineau skincare.
In Latin America, which is comprised of Mexico, Central America and South America, the increase in net sales, excluding the favorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations, was driven primarily by higher shipments in Venezuela and, to a lesser extent, Brazil (which together contributed approximately 5.7 percentage points to the increase in net sales for the region in the first quarter of 2008, as compared with the first quarter of 2007). This increase was partially offset by lower shipments in Mexico (which offset approximately 1.6 percentage points of the increase in net sales for the region for the first quarter of 2008, as compared with the first quarter of 2007). The higher shipments in Venezuela were driven primarily by growth in shipments of color cosmetics and beauty care products. The higher shipments in Brazil were driven primarily by growth in shipments of Bozza no personal care products. The lower shipments in Mexico were driven primarily by declines in shipments of beauty care products and color cosmetics.

The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the first quarter of 2008, compared to the first quarter of 2007, was primarily due to the following:

Restructuring costs and other, net | $ | (6.2 | ) | $ | 4.3 | $ | 10.5 |
During the first quarter 2008, the Company recorded income of $6.2 million to restructuring costs and other, net, primarily due to a net gain of $6.0 million related to the sale of a non-core trademark. In addition, a $0.4 million reversal to restructuring costs was associated with the 2006 Programs, primarily due to the charges for severance and other employee-related termination costs being slightly lower than originally estimated. During the first quarter of 2007, the Company recorded $4.3 million in restructuring expense for vacating leased space, employee severance and employee-related termination costs related to the 2007 Programs and the 2006 Programs.
For a further discussion of the 2006 Programs and 2007 Programs, see Note 2, ‘‘Restructuring Costs and Other, Net’’ to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the SEC on March 5, 2008.

Interest expense | $ | 32.1 | $ | 33.8 | $ | 1.7 |
The decrease in interest expense for the first quarter of 2008, as compared to the first quarter of 2007, was primarily due to lower weighted average borrowing rates on comparable debt levels during the first quarter of 2008, as compared to first quarter of 2007.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of 2008 was $11.6 million, as compared to $24.7 million in the first quarter of 2007. This decline in cash provided in the first quarter of 2008, compared to the first quarter of 2007, was due to changes in net working capital, partially offset by a lower net loss and lower permanent display spending.
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $3.9 million and $(2.7) million for the first quarters of 2008 and 2007, respectively. Net cash provided by investing activities for the first quarter of 2008 included $6.6 million in net proceeds from the sale of a non-core trademark and certain assets, offset by cash used for capital expenditures. Net cash used in investing activities in the first quarter of 2007 was used for capital expenditures.
Net cash used in financing activities was $5.2 million and $10.4 million for the first quarters of 2008 and 2007, respectively. Net cash used in financing activities for the first quarter of 2008 included proceeds of $170 million from the MacAndrews & Forbes Senior Subordinated Term Loan Agreement, which Products Corporation used to repay in full the $167.4 million remaining aggregate principal amount of its 85/8% Senior Subordinated Notes, which matured on February 1, 2008, and to pay certain related fees and expenses, including the payment to MacAndrews & Forbes of a facility fee of $2.55 million (or 1.5% of the total aggregate principal amount of such loan) upon MacAndrews & Forbes fun ding such loan. In addition, net cash used in financing activities in the 2008 period included $8.5 million of net repayments under Products Corporation’s 2006 Revolving Credit Facility.

Net cash used in financing activities for the first quarter of 2007 included net proceeds of $98.7 million from Revlon, Inc.’s issuance of Class A Common Stock as a result of the closing of the $100 Million Rights Offering in January 2007. Revlon, Inc.’s proceeds from the $100 Million Rights Offering were promptly transferred to Products Corporation, which it used in February 2007 to redeem $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 85/8% Senior Subordinated Notes at an aggregate redemption price of $50.3 million, including $0.3 million of accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the redemption date. The remainder of such proceeds was used to repay $43.3 million of indeb tedness outstanding under Products Corporation’s 2006 Revolving Credit Facility, after incurring fees and expenses of $1.3 million incurred in connection with the $100 Million Rights Offering, with approximately $5 million of the remaining proceeds being available for general corporate purposes.
At March 31, 2008, the Company had a liquidity position (excluding cash in compensating balance accounts), of $139.5 million, consisting of cash and cash equivalents (net of any outstanding checks) of $46.7 million, as well as $92.8 million in available borrowings under the 2006 Revolving Credit Facility.

In December 2006, Products Corporation replaced the $800 million term loan facility under its 2004 credit agreement with the new 5-year, $840 million 2006 Term Loan Facility pursuant to the 2006 Term Loan Agreement dated as of December 20, 2006, among Products Corporation, as borrower, the lenders party thereto, Citicorp USA, Inc., as administrative agent and collateral agent, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as syndication agent. As part of this bank refinancing, Products Corporation also amended and restated its 2004 multi-currency revolving credit facility by entering into the $160 million 2006 Revolving Credit Agreement. The 2006 Credit Facilities mature on January 15, 2012. (For further detail regarding the 2006 Credit Agreements, as well as for detail as to Products Corporation’s other debt instruments, see Note 8, ‘‘Long-Term D ebt’’ to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the SEC on March 5, 2008).
Products Corporation was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the 2006 Credit Agreements as of March 31, 2008. At March 31, 2008, the 2006 Term Loan Facility was fully drawn and availability under the $160.0 million 2006 Revolving Credit Facility, based upon the calculated borrowing base less $14.5 million of outstanding letters of credit and $35.0 million then drawn on the 2006 Revolving Credit Facility, was $92.8 million.
MacAndrews & Forbes Senior Subordinated Term Loan Agreement
In January 2008, Products Corporation entered into the $170 million MacAndrews & Forbes Senior Subordinated Term Loan Agreement. On February 1, 2008, Products Corporation used the proceeds of such loan to repay in full the $167.4 million remaining aggregate principal amount of its 85/8% Senior Subordinated Notes, which matured on February 1, 2008, and to pay certain related fees and expenses, including the payment to MacAndrews & Forbes of a facility fee of $2.55 million (or 1.5% of the total aggregate principal amount of such loan) upon MacAndrews & Forbes funding such loan. In connection with such repayment, Products Corporation also used cash on hand to pay $7.2 million of ac crued and unpaid interest due on the 85/8% Senior Subordinated Notes up to, but not including, the February 1, 2008 maturity date. (See Note 19, ‘‘Subsequent Events’’ to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the SEC on March 5, 2008 for detail regarding the MacAndrews & Forbes Senior Subordinated Term Loan Agreement).
Sources and Uses
The Company’s principal sources of funds are expected to be operating revenues, cash on hand and funds available for borrowing under the 2006 Revolving Credit Facility and other permitted lines of credit.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(all tabular amounts in millions, except per share amounts)
The 2006 Credit Agreements, the MacAndrews & Forbes Senior Subordinated Term Loan Agreement and the indenture governing Products Corporation’s 9½% Senior Notes contain certain provisions that by their terms limit Products Corporation and its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, incur additional debt.
The Company’s principal uses of funds are expected to be the payment of operating expenses, including expenses in connection with the continued execution of the Company’s business strategy, purchases of permanent wall displays, capital expenditure requirements, payments in connection with the Company’s restructuring programs (including, without limitation, the Company’s 2006 Programs, the 2007 Programs and the 2008 Program), executive severance not otherwise included in the Company’s restructuring programs, debt service payments and costs and regularly scheduled pension and post-retirement benefit plan contributions. The Company’s cash contributions to its pension and post-retirement benefit plans in the first quarter of 2008 were $2.9 million. The Company expects cash contributions to its pension and post-retirement benefit plans to be approximately $13 million in the aggregate in the full year 2008. The Company&rsq uo;s purchases of permanent wall displays and capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2008 were $15.3 million and $2.7 million, respectively. The Company expects purchases of permanent wall displays and capital expenditures in the full year 2008 to be approximately $50 million and $25 million, respectively, inclusive of amounts expended in the first quarter of 2008. See ‘‘Restructuring Costs and Other, Net’’ above in this Form 10-Q for discussion of the Company’s expected uses of funds in connection with its various restructuring programs.
The Company has undertaken, and continues to assess, refine and implement, a number of programs to efficiently manage its cash and working capital, including, among other things, programs to carefully manage inventory levels, centralized purchasing to secure discounts and efficiencies in procurement, and providing additional discounts to U.S. customers for more timely payment of receivables and careful management of accounts payable and targeted controls on general and administrative spending.
Continuing to execute the Company’s business strategy could include taking advantage of additional opportunities to reposition, repackage or reformulate one or more brands or product lines, launching additional new products, acquiring businesses or brands, further refining the Company’s approach to retail merchandising and/or taking further actions to optimize its manufacturing, sourcing and organizational size and structure. Any of these actions, whose intended purpose would be to contribute to the achievement of profitability and positive cash flow, could result in the Company making investments and/or recognizing charges related to executing against such opportunities.
The Company expects that operating revenues, cash on hand and funds available for borrowing under the 2006 Revolving Credit Facility and other permitted lines of credit will be sufficient to enable the Company to cover its operating expenses for 2008, including cash requirements in connection with the payment of operating expenses, including expenses in connection with the execution of the Company’s business strategy, purchases of permanent wall displays, capital expenditure requirements, payments in connection with the Company’s restructuring programs (including, without limitation, the Company’s 2006 Programs, the 2007 Programs and the 2008 Program), executive severance not otherwise included in the Company’s restructuring programs, debt service payments and costs and regularly scheduled pension and post-retirement plan contributions.
However, there can be no assurance that such funds will be sufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements on a consolidated basis. If the Company’s anticipated level of revenue growth is not achieved because of, for example, decreased consumer spending in response to weak economic conditions or weakness in the cosmetics category in the mass retail channel, adverse changes in currency, decreased sales of the Company’s products as a result of increased competitive activities from the Company’s competitors, changes in consumer purchasing habits, including with respect to shopping channels, retailer inventory management, retailer space reconfigurations or reductions in retailer display space, less than
20
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

(all tabular amounts in millions, except per share amounts)
anticipated results from the Company’s existing or new products or from its advertising and/or marketing plans, or if the Company’s expenses, including, without limitation, for advertising and promotions or for returns related to any reduction of retail space, product discontinuances or otherwise, exceed the anticipated level of expenses, the Company’s current sources of funds may be insufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements.
In the event of a decrease in demand for the Company’s products, reduced sales, lack of increases in demand and sales, changes in consumer purchasing habits, including with respect to shopping channels, retailer inventory management, retailer space reconfigurations or reductions in retailer display space, product discontinuances and/or advertising and promotion expenses or returns expenses exceeding its expectations or less than anticipated results from the Company’s existing or new products or from its advertising and/or marketing plans, any such development, if significant, could reduce Products Corporation’s revenues and could adversely affect Products Corporation’s ability to comply with certain financial covenants under the 2006 Credit Agreements and in such event the Company could be required to take measures, including, among other things, reducing discretionary spending. (See also Item 1A. ‘‘Risk Factors’’ in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the SEC on March 5, 2008 for further discussion of risks associated with the Company’s business).
If the Company is unable to satisfy its cash requirements from the sources identified above or comply with its debt covenants, the Company could be required to adopt one or more of the following alternatives:
• | delaying the implementation of or revising certain aspects of the Company’s business strategy; |
• | reducing or delaying purchases of wall displays or advertising or promotional expenses; |
• | reducing or delaying capital spending; |
• | delaying, reducing or revising the Company’s restructuring programs; |
• | refinancing Products Corporation’s indebtedness; |
• | selling assets or operations; |
• | seeking additional capital contributions and/or loans from MacAndrews & Forbes, the Company’s other affiliates and/or third parties; |
• | selling additional Revlon, Inc. equity securities or debt securities of Revlon, Inc. or Products Corporation; or |
• | reducing other discretionary spending. |
There can be no assurance that the Company would be able to take any of the actions referred to above because of a variety of commercial or market factors or constraints in Products Corporation’s debt instruments, including, without limitation, market conditions being unfavorable for an equity or debt issuance, additional capital contributions and/or loans not being available from affiliates and/or third parties, or that the transactions may not be permitted under the terms of Products Corporation’s various debt instruments then in effect, such as due to restrictions on the incurrence of debt, incurrence of liens, asset dispositions and related party transactions. In addition, such actions, if taken, may not enable the Company to satisfy its cash requirements or enable Products Corporation to comply with its debt covenants if the actions do not generate a sufficient amount of additional capital. (See also Item 1A. ‘‘Risk Factors’&rs quo; in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the SEC on March 5, 2008 for further discussion of risks associated with the Company’s business).
Revlon, Inc., as a holding company, will be dependent on the earnings and cash flow of, and dividends and distributions from, Products Corporation to pay its expenses and to pay any cash dividend or
21
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(all tabular amounts in millions, except per share amounts)
distribution on Revlon, Inc.’s Class A Common Stock that may be authorized by Revlon, Inc.’s Board of Directors. The terms of the 2006 Credit Agreements, the MacAndrews & Forbes Senior Subordinated Term Loan Agreement and the indenture governing Products Corporation’s 9½% Senior Notes generally restrict Products Corporation from paying dividends or making distributions, except that Products Corporation is permitted to pay dividends and make distributions to Revlon, Inc. to enable Revlon, Inc., among other things, to pay expenses incidental to being a public holding company, including, among other things, professional fees such as legal, accounting and insurance fees, regulatory fees, such as SEC filing fees, and other expenses related to being a public holding company and, subject to certain limitations, to pay dividends or make distributions in certain circumstances to finance the purchase by Revlon, Inc. of its Class A Common Stock in connection with the delivery of such Class A Common Stock to grantees under the Third Amended and Restated Revlon, Inc. Stock Plan.
As a result of dealing with suppliers and vendors in a number of foreign countries, Products Corporation enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts and option contracts from time to time to hedge certain cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. There were foreign currency forward exchange contracts with a notional amount of $27.8 million outstanding at March 31, 2008. The fair value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts outstanding at March 31, 2008 was $0.1 million.
2007 Interest Rate Swap Transaction
In September 2007, Products Corporation executed a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap transaction (the ‘‘2007 Interest Rate Swap’’) with a notional amount of $150.0 million over a period of two years relating to indebtedness under Products Corporation’s 2006 Term Loan Facility. The Company designated this 2007 Interest Rate Swap transaction as a cash flow hedge of the variable interest rate payments on Products Corporation’s 2006 Term Loan Facility. Under the terms of the 2007 Interest Rate Swap transaction, Products Corporation is required to pay to the counterparty a quarterly fixed interest rate of 4.692% on the $150.0 million notional amount commencing in December 2007, while receiving a variable interest rate payment from the counterparty equal to three-month U.S. dollar LIBOR (which effectively fixed the interest rate on such notional amount at 8.692% for the 2-year term of the swap). While the Comp any is exposed to credit loss in the event of the counterparty’s non-performance, if any, the Company’s exposure is limited to the net amount that Products Corporation would have received over the remaining balance of the transaction’s two-year term. Given that the counterparty to the 2007 Interest Rate Swap transaction is a major financial institution, the Company does not anticipate any non-performance and, furthermore, even in the case of any non-performance by the counterparty, the Company expects that any such loss would not be material. The fair value of Products Corporation’s 2007 Interest Rate Swap transaction was $(5.3) million at March 31, 2008. (See Note 10, ‘‘Subsequent Events’’, to the Consolidated Financial Statements, regarding the 2008 Interest Rate Swap transaction).

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s management, wi th the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the three-month fiscal period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the first quarter of 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

(iv) | our expectations regarding our business strategy, including our plans to (a) build and leverage our strong brands, particularly the Revlon brand, across the categories in which we compete, |
26

(v) | the Company’s plans to fully focus its efforts on building and leveraging its established brands, particularly its Revlon brand; |
(vi) | restructuring activities, restructuring costs, the timing of restructuring payments and the cost base reductions and other benefits from such activities; |
(vii) | the Company’s expectation that operating revenues, cash on hand and funds available for borrowing under Products Corporation’s 2006 Revolving Credit Facility and other permitted lines of credit will be sufficient to enable the Company to cover its operating expenses for 2008, including cash requirements referred to in item (ix) below; |
(viii) | the Company’s expected sources of funds, including operating revenues, cash on hand and funds available from borrowing under Products Corporation’s 2006 Revolving Credit Facility and other permitted lines of credit, as well as the availability of funds from refinancing indebtedness, selling assets or operations, capital contributions and/or loans from MacAndrews & Forbes, the Company’s other affiliates and/or third parties and/or the sale of additional equity securities of Revlon, Inc. or additional debt securities of Revlon, Inc. or Products Corporation; |

(x) | matters concerning the Company’s market-risk sensitive instruments, including the 2007 Interest Rate Swap and 2008 Interest Rate Swap transactions which are intended to reduce the effects of floating interest rates by hedging against fluctuations in variable interest rate payments on the applicable notional amounts of Products Corporation’s long-term debt under its 2006 Term Loan Facility, as well as the Company’s expectations as to the counterparty’s performance, including that any loss arising from the non-performance by the counterparty would not be material; |
(xi) | the expected effects of the Company’s adoption of certain accounting principles; |

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and except for the Company’s ongoing obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Investors are advised, however, to consult any additional disclosures the Company made in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 or may make in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, in each case filed with the SEC in 2008 (which, among other places, can be found on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov, as well as on the Company’s website at www.revloninc.com).

A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. (See also Item 1A. ‘‘Risk Factors’’ in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, filed with the SEC on March 5, 2008, for further discussion of ris ks associated with the Company’s business.)

This AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this Agreement), dated as of April 25, 2008, is entered into by and between REVLON CONSUMER PRODUCTS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (RCPC and, together with its parent Revlon, Inc. and its subsidiaries, the Company), and David Kennedy (the Executive).
Whereas the parties hereto have entered into this Agreement as of the above date primarily to include herein certain language responsive to the enactment of, and recent regulatory guidance in respect to, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986; and
Whereas RCPC wishes to continue to employ the Executive and the Executive wishes to accept continued employment with the Company on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement;
Now, therefore, RCPC and the Executive hereby agree as follows:
Employment, Duties and Acceptance.
1.1 Employment, Duties. RCPC hereby employs the Executive for the Term (as defined in Section 2.1) to render exclusive and full-time services to the Company, in the capacity of president and chief executive officer of Revlon, Inc. (Revlon) and RCPC, reporting to the Board of Directors of each of Revlon and RCPC, and to perform such other duties consistent with such position (including service as a director or officer of any subsidiary of Revlon, Inc., if elected) as may be assigned by the Board of Directors of Revlon. The Executives title shall be President and Chief Executive Officer of Revlon and RCPC, or such other titles of at least equivalent level consistent with the Executives duties from time to time as may be assigned to the Executive by Revlons Board of Directors. RCPC agrees to use its best efforts to cause the Executive to be elected to the Board of Directors of Revlon and of RCPC, so that the Executive may serve as a member of both Boards throughout the Term.
1.2 Acceptance. The Executive hereby accepts such employment and agrees to render the services described above. During the Term, the Executive agrees to serve the Company faithfully and to the best of the Executives ability, to devote the Executives entire business time, energy and skill to such employment, and to use the Executives best efforts, skill and ability to promote the Companys interests.
1.3 Location. The duties to be performed by the Executive hereunder shall be performed primarily at the office of RCPC in the New York City metropolitan area, subject to reasonable travel requirements consistent with the nature of the Executives duties from time to time on behalf of the Company.
1.4 Performance Warranty. As an inducement for the Company to enter into this Agreement, you hereby represent that you are not a party to any contract, agreement or understanding which prevents, prohibits or limits you in any way from entering into and fully performing your obligations under this Agreement and any duties and responsibilities that may be assigned to you hereunder.
2. Term of Employment; Certain Post-Term Benefits.
2.1 The Term. The term of the Executives employment under this Agreement (the Term) shall commence as of the date first set forth above (the Effective Date) and shall end on the later of December 31, 2008 or twenty-four months after RCPC provides to the Executive a notice of non-renewal, unless in either case sooner terminated pursuant to Section 4. Non-extension of the Term shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by RCPC for purposes of Section 4.4. Additionally, the Executive may terminate the Term at any time upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to the Company
and such termination shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement. During any period that the Executives employment shall continue following the end of the Term, the Executive shall be deemed an employee at will, provided, however, that the Executive shall be eligible for severance on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Revlon Executive Severance Pay Plan as in effect from time to time, or such plan or plans, if any, as may succeed it (the Executive Severance Plan), provided that the Severance Period for the Executive under the Executive Severance Plan shall be 24 months, subject to the terms and conditions of such plan.
2.2 Special Curtailment. The Term shall end earlier than the date provided in Section 2.1, if sooner terminated pursuant to Section 4.
3. Compensation; Benefits.
3.1 Salary. As compensation for all services to be rendered pursuant to this Agreement, RCPC agrees to pay the Executive during the Term a base salary, payable in bi-weekly arrears, at the annual rate of not less than $1,300,000 (the Base Salary). All payments of Base Salary or other compensation hereunder shall be less such deductions or withholdings as are required by applicable law and regulations. The Base Salary shall be reviewed by Revlons Board of Directors or Compensation Committee from time to time. In the event that Revlons Board of Directors or Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, determines to increase the Base Salary, such increased amount shall, from and after the effective date of the increase, constitute Base Salary for purposes of this Agreement.
3.2 Bonus. The Executive shall be eligible to participate in the Revlon Executive Bonus Plan as in effect from time to time (or such plan or plans, if any, as may succeed it) (the Bonus Plan), with maximum bonus eligibility of 150% of Base Salary for significantly over-achieving performance objectives set by the Compensation Committee or its designee and target bonus eligibility of 100% of Base Salary for achieving performance objectives set by the Compensation Committee or its designee, subject to the terms and conditions of such Bonus Plan. In the event that the Executives employment shall terminate pursuant to Section 4.4 during any calendar year, the Executives bonus with respect to the year during which such termination occurs shall be prorated for the actual number of days of active employment during such year and such bonus as prorated shall be payable (i) if and to the extent bonuses are payable to executives under the Bonus Plan for that year based upon achievement of the objectives set for that year and not including any discretionary bonus amounts which may otherwise be payable to other executives despite non-achievement of bonus objectives for such year and (ii) on the date bonuses would otherwise be payable to executives under the Bonus Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein or contained in the Bonus Plan to the contrary, in the event that the Executives employment shall terminate pursuant to Section 4.4 during any calendar year, the Executive shall be entitled to receive his bonus (if not already paid) with respect to the year immediately preceding the year of termination (if bonuses with respect to such year are payable to other executives based upon achievement of bonus objectives and not based upon discretionary amounts which may be paid to other executives despite non-achievement of bonus objectives) as and when such bonuses would otherwise be payable to executives under the Bonus Plan, despite the fact that Executive may not be actively employed on such date of payment.
3.3 Stock-Based Compensation. In the event of any Change of Control, as defined on Schedule A, all then unvested stock options and restricted shares held by the Executive shall immediately vest and be fully exercisable.
3.4 Business Expenses. RCPC shall pay or reimburse the Executive for all reasonable expenses actually incurred or paid by the Executive during the Term in the performance of the Executives services under this Agreement, subject to and in accordance with the Revlon Travel and Entertainment Policy as in effect from time to time, or such policy or policies, if any, as may succeed it.
2
3.5 Vacation. During each year of the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to a vacation period or periods in accordance with the vacation policy of the Company as in effect from time to time, but not less than four weeks.
3.6 Fringe Benefits. During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in those qualified and non-qualified defined benefit, defined contribution, group life insurance, medical, dental, disability and other benefit plans and programs of the Company as from time to time in effect (or their successors) generally made available to other executives of the Executives level and in such other plans and programs and in such perquisites as may be generally made available to senior executives of the Company of the Executives level generally. Further, during the Term, the Executive will be eligible (a) to participate in Revlons Executive Financial Counseling and Tax Preparation Program, as from time to time in effect, or such program or programs, if any, as may succeed it, (b) to receive a car allowance at the rate of $15,000 per annum, which is intended to cover lease, insurance, operating and maintenance costs under the car allowance program as in effect from time to time, or such program or programs, if any, as may succeed it, and (c) to participate in a special rate for personal training sessions at a strength and conditioning center located on 55th Street here in NYC on a basis consistent with other executives at Executives level, as such program is in effect from time to time, or such program or programs, if any, as may succeed it.
4. Termination.
4.1 Death. If the Executive shall die during the Term, the Term shall terminate and no further amounts or benefits shall be payable hereunder, other than (i) for accrued, but unpaid, Base Salary as of such date and (ii) pursuant to life insurance provided under Section 3.6(a).
4.2 Disability. If during the Term the Executive shall become physically or mentally disabled, whether totally or partially, such that the Executive is unable to perform the Executives services hereunder for (i) a period of six consecutive months or (ii) shorter periods aggregating six months during any twelve month period, RCPC may at any time after the last day of the six consecutive months of disability or the day on which the shorter periods of disability shall have equaled an aggregate of six months, by written notice to the Executive (but before the Executive has returned to active service following such disability), terminate the Term and no further amounts or benefits shall be payable hereunder.
4.3 Cause. RCPC may at any time by written notice to the Executive terminate the Term for Cause and, upon such termination, the Executive shall be entitled to receive no further amounts or benefits hereunder, except for accrued, but unpaid, salary as of such date and as required by law. As used herein the term Cause shall mean gross neglect by the Executive of the Executives duties hereunder, conviction of the Executive of any felony, conviction of the Executive of any lesser crime or offense involving the property of the Company or any of its affiliates, misconduct by the Executive in connection with the performance of the Executives duties hereunder or other material breach by the Executive of this Agreement (specifically including, without limitation, Section 1.4), any breach of the Revlon Code of Business Conduct, or the Employee Agreement as to Confidentiality and Non-Competition, or any other conduct on the part of the Executive which would make the Executives continued employment by the Company prejudicial in any material respect to the best interests of the Company.
4.4 Company Breach; Other Termination. The Executive shall be entitled to terminate the Term and the Executives employment upon 60 days prior written notice (if during such period RCPC fails to cure any such breach) in the event that RCPC materially breaches any of its obligations hereunder. In addition, RCPC shall be entitled to terminate the Term and the Executives employment at any time and without prior notice (otherwise than pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.2 or 4.3). In consideration of the Executives covenant in Section 5.2, upon termination under this Section 4.4 by the
3
Executive, or in the event RCPC so terminates the Term otherwise than pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.2 or 4.3, RCPC agrees, and the Companys sole obligation arising from such termination shall be, for RCPC either
(i) to make payments in lieu of Base Salary in the amounts prescribed by Section 3.1, to pay the Executive any annual bonus contemplated by Section 3.2 and to continue the Executives participation in the medical, dental and group life insurance plans and other perquisites of the Company in which the Executive was entitled to participate pursuant to Section 3.6 (in each case less amounts required by law to be withheld) through the date on which the Term would have expired pursuant to Section 2.1, if RCPC had given notice of non-renewal on the date of termination (such period shall be referred to as the Severance Period), provided that (1) such benefit continuation is subject to the terms of such plans, (2) life insurance continuation is subject to a limit of two years, (3) the Executive shall cease to be covered by medical and/or dental plans of the Company at such time as the Executive becomes covered by like plans of another company, (4) any bonus payments required pursuant to this Section 4.4(i) shall be payable as and when bonuses would otherwise be payable to executives under the Bonus Plan as then in effect, (5) the Executive shall, as a condition, execute such release, confidentiality, non-competition and other covenants as would be required in order for the Executive to receive payments and benefits under the Executive Severance Plan referred to in clause (ii) below, and (6) any cash compensation paid or payable or any non-cash compensation paid or payable in lieu of cash compensation earned by the Executive from other employment or consultancy during such period (but not including any pension or retirement benefits payable by The Coca Cola Company or Coca Cola Amatil Limited) shall reduce the payments provided for herein payable with respect to such other employment or consultancy, or
(ii) to make the payments and provide the benefits prescribed by the Executive Severance Plan of the Company as in effect from time to time, upon the Executives compliance with the terms and conditions thereof, provided that the Severance Period for the Executive shall be 24 months.
The Company shall provide the greater of the payments and other benefits described under clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 4.4; provided, however, if the provision of any benefits described above would trigger a tax under Section 409A, the Company shall instead promptly pay to the Executive in a cash lump sum payment an amount equal to the value (based on the then-current cost to the Company) of such benefits. Any compensation earned by the Executive from other employment or a consultancy (but not including any pension or retirement benefits payable by The Coca Cola Company or Coca Cola Amatil Limited) shall reduce the payments required pursuant to clause (i) above or shall be governed by the terms of the Executive Severance Plan in the case of clause (ii) above.
4.5 Litigation Expenses. If RCPC and the Executive become involved in any action, suit or proceeding relating to the alleged breach of this Agreement by RCPC or the Executive, or any dispute as to whether a termination of the Executives employment is with or without Cause, then if and to the extent that a final judgment in such action, suit or proceeding is rendered in favor of the Executive, RCPC shall reimburse the Executive for all expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) incurred by the Executive in connection with such action, suit or proceeding or the portion thereof adjudicated in favor of the Executive.
4.6 No Mitigation. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment.
4.7 Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. Section 409A of the Code (as defined below) and/or its related rules and regulations (Section 409A), imposes additional taxes and interest on compensation or benefits deferred under certain nonqualified deferred compensation plans (as defined under the Code). These plans may include, among others, nonqualified retirement plans, bonus plans,
4
stock option plans, employment agreements and severance agreements. The Company reserves the right to provide compensation or benefits under any such plan in amounts, at times and in a manner that minimizes taxes, interest or penalties as a result of Section 409A, including any required withholdings, and the Executive agrees to cooperate with the Company in such actions. Specifically, and without limitation of the previous sentence, if the Executive is a specified employee, as such term is defined under Section 409A (generally one of the Companys top 50 highest paid officers), to the extent required under Section 409A, the Company will not make any payments to the Executive under this Agreement upon a separation from service, as such term is defined under Section 409A, until six months after the Executives date of separation from service or, if earlier, the date of the Executives death. Upon expiration of the six-month period, or, if earlier, the date of the Executives death, the Company shall make a payment to the Executive (or his beneficiary or estate, if applicable) equal to the sum of all payments that would have been paid to the Executive from the date of separation from service had the Executive not been a specified employee through the end of the six month period, and thereafter the Company will make all the payments at the times specified in this Agreement or applicable policy as the case may be. In addition, the Company and the Executive agree that, for purposes of this Agreement, termination of employment (or any variation thereof) will satisfy all of the requirements of separation from service as defined under Section 409A. For purposes of this Agreement, the right to a series of installment payments, such as salary continuation or severance payments, shall be treated as the right to a series of separate payments and shall not be treated as a right to a single payment. For purposes of this Agreement, the term Code shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, including all final regulations promulgated thereunder, and any reference to a particular section of the Code shall include any provision that modifies, replaces or supersedes such section.
5. Protection of Confidential Information; Non-Competition.
5.1 The Executive acknowledges that the Executives services will be unique, that they will involve the development of Company-subsidized relationships with key customers, suppliers, and service providers as well as with key Company employees and that the Executives work for the Company will give the Executive access to highly confidential information not available to the public or competitors, including trade secrets and confidential marketing, sales, product development and other data and plans which it would be impracticable for the Company to effectively protect and preserve in the absence of this Section 5 and the disclosure or misappropriation of which could materially adversely affect the Company. Accordingly, the Executive agrees:
5.1.1 except in the course of performing the Executives duties provided for in Section 1.1, not at any time, whether during or after the Executives employment with the Company, to divulge to any other entity or person any confidential information acquired by the Executive concerning the Companys or its affiliates financial affairs or business processes or methods or their research, development or marketing programs or plans, any other of its or their trade secrets, any information regarding personal matters of any directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company or its affiliates or their respective family members, or any information concerning the circumstances of the Executives employment and any termination of the Executives employment with the Company or any information regarding discussions related to any of the foregoing. The foregoing prohibitions shall include, without limitation, directly or indirectly publishing (or causing, participating in, assisting or providing any statement, opinion or information in connection with the publication of) any diary, memoir, letter, story, photograph, interview, article, essay, account or description (whether fictionalized or not) concerning any of the foregoing, publication being deemed to include any presentation or reproduction of any written, verbal or visual material in any communication medium, including any book, magazine, newspaper, theatrical production or movie, or television or radio programming or commercial or over the internet. In the event that the Executive is requested or required to make disclosure of information subject to this Section 5.1.1 under any court order, subpoena or other judicial process, the Executive will promptly notify RCPC, take all reasonable steps requested by RCPC to defend against the compulsory disclosure and permit RCPC, at its expense, to control with counsel of its choice any proceeding relating to the compulsory disclosure. The Executive acknowledges that all information the disclosure of which is prohibited by this section is of a confidential and proprietary character and of great value to the Company.
5
5.1.2 to deliver promptly to the Company on termination of the Executives employment with the Company, or at any time that RCPC may so request, all memoranda, notes, records, reports, manuals, drawings, blueprints and other documents (and all copies thereof) relating to the Companys business and all property associated therewith, which the Executive may then possess or have under the Executives control.
5.2 In consideration of RCPCs covenant in Section 4.4, the Executive agrees (i) in all respects fully to comply with the terms of the Employee Agreement as to Confidentiality and Non-Competition referred to in the Executive Severance Plan (the Non-Competition Agreement), whether or not the Executive is a signatory thereof, with the same effect as if the same were set forth herein in full, and (ii) in the event that the Executive shall terminate the Executives employment otherwise than as provided in Section 4.4, the Executive shall comply with the restrictions set forth in paragraph 9(e) of the Non-Competition Agreement through the date on which the Term would then otherwise have expired pursuant to Section 2.1, subject only to the Company continuing to make payments equal to the Executives Base Salary during such period, notwithstanding the limitation otherwise applicable under paragraph 9(d) thereof or any other provision of the Non-Competition Agreement.
5.3 If the Executive commits a breach of any of the provisions of Sections 5.1 or 5.2 hereof, RCPC shall have the following rights and remedies:
5.3.1 the right and remedy to immediately terminate all further payments and benefits provided for in this Agreement, except as may otherwise be required by law in the case of qualified benefit plans,
5.3.2 the right and remedy to have the provisions of this Agreement specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach will cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages and disgorgement of profits will not provide an adequate remedy to the Company, and, if the Executive attempts or threatens to commit a breach of any of the provisions of Sections 5.1 or 5.2, the right and remedy to be granted a preliminary and permanent injunction in any court having equity jurisdiction against the Executive committing the
6
attempted or threatened breach (it being agreed that each of the rights and remedies enumerated above shall be independent of the others and shall be severally enforceable, and that all of such rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to RCPC under law or in equity), and
5.3.3 the right and remedy to require the Executive to account for and pay over to the Company all compensation, profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits (collectively Benefits) derived or received by the Executive as the result of any transactions constituting a breach of any of the provisions of Sections 5.1 or 5.2 hereof, and the Executive hereby agrees to account for and pay over such Benefits as directed by RCPC.
5.4 If any of the covenants contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3, or any part thereof, hereafter are construed to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall not affect the remainder of the covenant or covenants, which shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions.
5.5 If any of the covenants contained in Sections 5.1 or 5.2, or any part thereof, are held to be unenforceable because of the duration of such provision or the area covered thereby, the parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and/or area of such provision so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and, in its reduced form, said provision shall then be enforceable.
5.6 The parties hereto intend to and hereby confer jurisdiction to enforce the covenants contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 upon the courts of any state or country within the geographical scope of such covenants. In the event that the courts of any one or more of such states or country shall hold such covenants wholly unenforceable by reason of the breadth of such covenants or otherwise, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such determination not bar or in any way affect RCPCs right to the relief provided above in the courts of any other states or country within the geographical scope of such covenants as to breaches of such covenants in such other respective jurisdictions, the above covenants as they relate to each state being for this purpose severable into diverse and independent covenants.

The Executive shall further: (a) promptly disclose such Inventions to the Company; (b) assign to the Company, without additional compensation, all patent and other rights to such Inventions for the United States and foreign countries; (c) sign all papers necessary to carry out the foregoing; and (d) give testimony in support of the Executives inventorship.
6.2 If any Invention is described in a patent application or is disclosed to third parties, directly or indirectly, by the Executive within two years after the termination of the Executives employment with the Company, it is to be presumed that the Invention was conceived or made during the Term.
7

The Executive shall, at the request of RCPC, execute such assignments, certificates or other instruments as RCPC may from time to time deem necessary or desirable to evidence, establish, maintain, perfect, protect, enforce or defend its right, title or interest in or to any such properties.

11.2 The section headings contained herein are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

No representation, promise or inducement has been made by either party that is not embodied in this Agreement, and neither party shall be bound by or liable for any alleged representation, promise or inducement not so set forth.
11.4 This Agreement shall be binding on the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement, and the Executives rights and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned by the Executive, nor may the Executive pledge, encumber or anticipate any payments or benefits due hereunder, by operation of law or otherwise.

The failure of either party at any time or times to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner affect the right at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by either party of the breach of any term or covenant contained in this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such breach, or a waiver of the breach of any other term or covenant contained in this Agreement.

13. Change of Control
13.1 Change of Control Payments and Benefits.
(a) Extension of Term. In the event of any Change of Control, as defined on Schedule A, the Term of the Executives Agreement shall be automatically extended for 24 months from the effective date (the COC Effective Date) of any such Change of Control (the Extended Term).
(b) Benefit Continuation; Bonus and Salary Payment. If during the Extended Term, the Executive terminates the Term of his employment for Good Reason (as defined below in subclause (b)(iii)) or if the Company terminates the Term of the Executives employment other than for Cause (as defined in Section 4.3 of the Agreement):
(i) to the extent available under applicable law and the Companys benefit programs, the Company shall provide for a period of two years from such termination date all fringe benefits then provided to the Executive, including, without limitation, qualified and non-qualified defined benefit, defined contribution, insurance, medical, dental, disability, automobile, financial planning, tax preparation and other benefit plans and programs of the Company as from time to time in effect (or their successors) in which the Executive participated on the COC Effective Date. To the extent that such benefits are not available under applicable law or the Companys benefit programs, or such benefits would trigger a tax under Section 409A, the Company shall immediately pay to the Executive in a cash lump sum payment an amount equal to the value (based on the then current cost to the Company) of such benefits (or the remaining eligible portion thereof, as the case may be) and shall have no further obligation to continue to provide the benefits under this Section;
(ii) the Company shall immediately pay to the Executive in a cash lump sum payment two times the sum of (A) the greater of the Executives Base Salary in effect on (1) the COC Effective Date or (2) such termination date plus (B) the average amount of the gross bonus amounts earned by the Executive over the five calendar years preceding such termination.
(iii) Good Reason means, for purposes of this subclause (b) only (and not for any other purpose or reason under this Agreement): (A) a material adverse change in the Executives job responsibilities; (B) any reduction in the Executives Base Salary; (C) any reduction in the Executives annual bonus opportunity; (D) any reduction in the Executives aggregate value of benefits; or (E) the Executives being required by the Company to relocate beyond a 50 mile radius of the Executives then current residence.
(iv) The Executive shall have no duty to mitigate by seeking other employment or otherwise and no compensation earned by the Executive from other employment, a consultancy or otherwise shall reduce any payments provided for under this Section 13.1.
(c) Equity Compensation. In the event of any Change of Control, all then unvested stock options and restricted shares held by the Executive shall immediately vest and be fully exercisable and all restrictions shall lapse.
(d) Governing Provision. In the event of any conflict between this Section 13 of the Agreement and any other section or provision of the Agreement, the section which provides the Executive with the most favored treatment in the event of a Change of Control shall govern and prevail.
10
13.2 Section 280G.
(a) If the aggregate of all amounts and benefits due to the Executive under this Agreement or any other plan, program, agreement or arrangement of the Company or any of its Affiliates, which, if received by the Executive in full, would constitute parachute payments as such term is defined in and under Section 280G of the Code (collectively, Change of Control Benefits), reduced by all Federal, state and local taxes applicable thereto, including the excise tax imposed pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code, is less than the amount the Executive would receive, after all such applicable taxes, if the Executive received aggregate Change of Control Benefits equal to an amount which is $1.00 less than three times the Executives base amount, as defined in and determined under Section 280G of the Code, then such Change of Control Benefits shall be reduced or eliminated to the extent necessary so that the Change of Control Benefits received by the Executive will not constitute parachute payments. If a reduction in the Change of Control Benefits is necessary, reduction shall occur in the following order unless the Executive elects in writing a different order, subject to the Companys consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld): first, a reduction of cash payments not attributable to equity awards which vest on an accelerated basis; second, the cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock awards; third, the reduction of employee benefits; and fourth, a reduction in any other parachute payments. If acceleration of vesting of stock award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of the Executives stock awards unless the Executive elects in writing a different order for cancellation.
(b) It is possible that after the determinations and selections made pursuant to Section 13.2(a) above the Executive will receive Change of Control Benefits that are, in the aggregate, either more or less than the amounts contemplated by Section 13.2(a) above (hereafter referred to as an Excess Payment or Underpayment, respectively). If there is an Excess Payment, the Executive shall promptly repay the Company an amount consistent with this Section 13.2. If there is an Underpayment, the Company shall pay the Executive an amount consistent with this Section 13.2.
(c) The determinations with respect to this Section 13.2 shall be made by an independent auditor (the Auditor) compensated by the Company. The Auditor shall be the Companys regular independent auditor, unless the Executive objects to the use of that firm, in which event the Auditor shall be a nationally-recognized United States public accounting firm chosen by the Company and approved by the Executive (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

SCHEDULE B
REVLON CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT
[This Schedule B is intentionally omitted]
15
This AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this Agreement), dated as of April 25, 2008, is entered into by and between REVLON CONSUMER PRODUCTS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (RCPC and, together with its parent Revlon, Inc. and its subsidiaries, the Company), and Alan T. Ennis (the Executive).
Whereas the parties hereto have entered into this Agreement as of the above date primarily to include herein certain language responsive to the enactment of, and recent regulatory guidance in respect to, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986; and
Whereas RCPC wishes to continue the employ of the Executive and the Executive wishes to accept continued employment with the Company on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement;
Now, therefore, RCPC and the Executive hereby agree as follows:
Employment, Duties and Acceptance.
1.1 Employment, Duties. RCPC hereby employs the Executive for the Term (as defined in Section 2.1) to render exclusive and full-time services to the Company in the capacity of chief financial officer, with responsibility for all financial operations of the Company, including without limitation, treasury, controllers group, accounting, internal audit, internal control over financial reporting, investor relations and tax, and such other duties and responsibilities consistent with such position (including service as a director of the Company or director or officer of any subsidiary of the Company if so elected) as may be assigned to the Executive from time to time by the Companys President and Chief Executive Officer of Revlon, Inc. (the CEO). The Executives title shall be Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, or such other title of at least equivalent level consistent with the Executives duties from time to time as may be assigned to the Executive. The Executive shall be a member of the Operating Committee or such other committee of the Companys most senior executives as may succeed the Operating Committee from time to time and report to the CEO or his designee.
1.2 Acceptance. The Executive hereby accepts such employment and agrees to render the services described above. During the Term, the Executive agrees to serve the Company faithfully and to the best of the Executives ability, to devote the Executives entire business time, energy and skill to such employment, and to use the Executives best efforts, skill and ability to promote the Companys interests.
1.3 Location. The duties to be performed by the Executive hereunder shall be performed primarily at the office of RCPC in the New York City metropolitan area, subject to reasonable travel requirements consistent with the nature of the Executives duties from time to time on behalf of the Company.
1.4 Performance Warranty. As an inducement for the Company to enter into this Agreement, the Executive hereby represents that the Executive is not a party to any contract, agreement or understanding which prevents, prohibits or limits the Executive in any way from entering into and fully performing the Executives obligations under this Agreement and any duties and responsibilities that may be assigned to the Executive hereunder.
2. Term of Employment; Certain Post-Term Benefits.
2.1 The Term. The Term of the Executives employment under this Agreement (the Term) shall commence on the date hereof (the Effective Date) and shall end twenty-four (24) months after RCPC provides to the Executive a notice of non-renewal, unless in either case sooner terminated pursuant to Section 4. During any period that the Executives employment shall continue following the end of the Term, the Executive shall be deemed an employee at will, provided, however, that the Executive shall be eligible for severance on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Revlon Executive Severance Pay Plan as in effect from time to time, or such plan or plans, if any, as may succeed it (the Executive Severance Plan), provided that the severance and benefit continuation period for the Executive under the Executive Severance Plan shall be not less than 24 months, subject to the terms and conditions of such plan.
2.2 Special Curtailment. The Term shall end earlier than the date provided in Section 2.1, if sooner terminated pursuant to Section 4.
3. Compensation; Benefits.
3.1 Salary. The Company agrees to pay the Executive during the Term a base salary, payable bi-weekly, at the annual rate of not less than that currently in effect on the Effective Date (the Base Salary). All payments of Base Salary or other compensation hereunder shall be less such deductions or withholdings as are required by applicable law and regulations. The Executive will be considered for merit increases in connection with the Executives performance evaluations, which are performed in accordance with the Companys salary administration policies and procedures. In the event that RCPC, in its sole discretion, from time to time determines to increase the Base Salary, such increased amount shall, from and after the effective date of the increase, constitute Base Salary for purposes of this Agreement and shall not thereafter be decreased.
3.2 Bonus. The Executive shall be eligible to participate in the Revlon Executive Bonus Plan as in effect from time to time, or such plan or plans, if any, as may succeed it (the Bonus Plan), with maximum bonus eligibility of 100% of Base Salary for significantly over-achieving performance objectives set by the Compensation Committee or its designee and target bonus eligibility of 75% of Base Salary for achieving performance objectives set by the Compensation Committee or its designee, subject to the terms and conditions of such Bonus Plan. In the event that the Executives employment shall terminate pursuant to Section 4.4 during any calendar year, the Executives bonus with respect to the year during which such termination occurs shall be prorated for the actual number of days of active employment during such year and such bonus as prorated shall be payable (i) if and to the extent bonuses are payable to executives under the Bonus Plan for that year based upon achievement of the objectives set for that year and not including any discretionary bonus amounts which may otherwise be payable to other executives despite non-achievement of bonus objectives for such year and (ii) on the date bonuses would otherwise be payable to executives under the Bonus Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein or contained in the Bonus Plan to the contrary, in the event that the Executives employment shall terminate pursuant to Section 4.4 during any calendar year, the Executive shall
2
be entitled to receive the Executives bonus (if not already paid) with respect to the year immediately preceding the year of termination (if bonuses with respect to such year are payable to other executives based upon achievement of bonus objectives and not based upon discretionary amounts which may be paid to other executives despite non-achievement of bonus objectives) as and when such bonuses would otherwise be payable to executives under the Bonus Plan, despite the fact that Executive may not be actively employed on such date of payment.
3.3 Stock-Based Compensation. The Executive shall be eligible for recommendation to the Compensation Committee or other committee of the Board administering the Second Amended and Restated Revlon, Inc. Stock Plan or any plan that may replace it, as from time to time in effect, to receive an award of stock options, restricted shares or other awards during the Term, at levels, on terms, and at such times as are generally applicable to other senior executives of the Executives level, provided that the Executive must be actively employed on the date of such grant.
3.4 Business Expenses. RCPC shall pay or reimburse the Executive for all reasonable expenses actually incurred or paid by the Executive during the Term in the performance of the Executives services under this Agreement, subject to and in accordance with the Revlon Travel and Entertainment Policy as in effect from time to time, or such policy or policies, if any, as may succeed it.
3.5 Vacation. During each year of the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to a vacation period or periods in accordance with the vacation policy of the Company as in effect from time to time, but not less than four weeks.
3.6 Fringe Benefits. During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in those qualified and non-qualified defined benefit, defined contribution, group life insurance, medical, dental, disability and other benefit plans and programs of the Company as from time to time in effect (or their successors) generally made available to other executives of the Executives level and in such other plans and programs and in such perquisites, as from time to time in effect, as may be generally made available to senior executives of the Company of the Executives level generally. Further, during the Term, the Executive will be eligible (a) to participate in Revlons Executive Financial Counseling and Tax Preparation Program, as from time to time in effect, or such program or programs, if any, as may succeed it, (b) to receive a car allowance at the rate of $15,000 per annum, under the car allowance program as in effect from time to time, or such program or programs, if any, as may succeed it, and (c) to participate in a special rate for personal training sessions at a strength and conditioning center located on 55th Street here in NYC on a basis consistent with other executives at Executives level, as such program is in effect from time to time or such program or programs, if any, as may succeed it.
3.7 Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. Section 409A of the Code (as defined below) and/or its related rules and regulations (Section 409A), imposes additional taxes and interest on compensation or benefits deferred under certain nonqualified deferred compensation plans (as defined under the Code). These plans may include, among others, nonqualified retirement plans, bonus plans, stock option plans, employment agreements and severance agreements. The Company reserves the right to provide compensation or benefits under any such plan in amounts, at times and in a manner that minimizes taxes, interest or penalties as a result of Section 409A, including any required withholdings, and the Executive agrees to cooperate with
3
the Company in such actions. Specifically, and without limitation of the previous sentence, if the Executive is a specified employee, as such term is defined under Section 409A (generally one of the Companys top 50 highest paid officers), to the extent required under Section 409A, the Company will not make any payments to the Executive under this Agreement upon a separation from service, as such term is defined under Section 409A, until six months after the Executives date of separation from service or, if earlier, the date of the Executives death. Upon expiration of the six-month period, or, if earlier, the date of the Executives death, the Company shall make a payment to the Executive (or his beneficiary or estate, if applicable) equal to the sum of all payments that would have been paid to the Executive from the date of separation from service had the Executive not been a specified employee through the end of the six month period, and thereafter the Company will make all the payments at the times specified in this Agreement or applicable policy, as the case may be. In addition, the Company and the Executive agree that, for purposes of this Agreement, termination of employment (or any variation thereof) will satisfy all of the requirements of separation from service as defined under Section 409A. For purposes of this Agreement, the right to a series of installment payments, such as salary continuation or severance payments, shall be treated as the right to a series of separate payments and shall not be treated as a right to a single payment. For purposes of this Agreement, the term Code shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, including all final regulations promulgated thereunder, and any reference to a particular section of the Code shall include any provision that modifies, replaces or supersedes such section.
4. Termination.
4.1 Death. If the Executive shall die during the Term, the Term shall terminate and no further amounts or benefits shall be payable hereunder, other than (i) for accrued, but unpaid, Base Salary as of such date and (ii) pursuant to life insurance provided under Section 3.6.
4.2 Disability. If during the Term the Executive shall become physically or mentally disabled, whether totally or partially, such that the Executive is unable to perform the Executives services hereunder for (i) a period of six consecutive months or (ii) shorter periods aggregating six months during any twelve month period, RCPC may at any time after the last day of the six consecutive months of disability or the day on which the shorter periods of disability shall have equaled an aggregate of six months, by written notice to the Executive (but before the Executive has returned to active service following such disability), terminate the Term and no further amounts or benefits shall be payable hereunder.
4.3 Cause. RCPC may at any time by written notice to the Executive terminate the Term for Cause and, upon such termination, the Executive shall be entitled to receive no further amounts or benefits hereunder, except for accrued, but unpaid, salary as of such date and as required by law. As used herein the term Cause shall mean gross neglect by the Executive of the Executives duties hereunder, conviction of the Executive of any felony, conviction of the Executive of any lesser crime or offense involving the property of the Company or any of its affiliates, misconduct by the Executive in connection with the performance of the Executives duties hereunder or other breach by the Executive of this Agreement (specifically including, without limitation, Section 1.4), any breach of the Revlon Code of Business Conduct, including, without limitation, the Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers, or the Employees Agreement as to Confidentiality and Non-Competition, or any other conduct on the part of the Executive which would make the Executives continued employment by the Company prejudicial to the best interests of the Company.
4
4.4 Company Breach; Other Termination. The Executive shall be entitled to terminate the Term and the Executives employment upon 60 days prior written notice (if during such period RCPC fails to cure any such breach) in the event that RCPC materially breaches any of its obligations hereunder. In addition, RCPC shall be entitled to terminate the Term and the Executives employment at any time and without prior notice (otherwise than pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.2 or 4.3). In consideration of the Executives covenant in Section 5.2, upon termination under this Section 4.4 by the Executive, or in the event RCPC so terminates the Term otherwise than pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.2 or 4.3, RCPC agrees, and the Companys sole obligation arising from such termination shall be, for RCPC either
(i) to make payments in lieu of Base Salary in the amounts prescribed by Section 3.1, to pay the Executive the portion, if any, of any annual bonus contemplated by Section 3.2 and to continue the Executives participation in the medical, dental and group life insurance plans and other perquisites of the Company in which the Executive was entitled to participate pursuant to Section 3.6 (in each case less amounts required by law to be withheld) through the date on which the Term would have ended pursuant to Section 2.1, if RCPC had given notice of non-renewal on the date of termination (such period shall be referred to as the Severance Period), provided that (1) such benefit continuation is subject to the terms of such plans, (2) life insurance continuation is subject to a limit of two years, (3) the Executive shall cease to be covered by medical and/or dental plans of the Company at such time as the Executive becomes covered by like plans of another company, (4) any bonus payments required pursuant to this Section 4.4(i) shall be payable as and when bonuses would otherwise be payable to executives under the Bonus Plan as then in effect, (5) the Executive shall, as a condition, execute such release, confidentiality, non-competition and other covenants as would be required in order for the Executive to receive payments and benefits under the Executive Severance Plan that is applicable to the Executive referred to in clause (ii) below, and (6) any cash compensation paid or payable or any non-cash compensation paid or payable in lieu of cash compensation earned by the Executive from other employment or consultancy during such period shall reduce the payments provided for herein payable with respect to such other employment or consultancy, or
(ii) to make the payments and provide the benefits prescribed by, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of, the Executive Severance Plan.
The Company shall provide the greater of the payments and other benefits described under clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 4.4; provided, however, if the provision of any benefits described above would trigger a tax under Section 409A, the Company shall instead promptly pay to the Executive in a cash lump sum payment an amount equal to the value (based on the then-current cost to the Company) of such benefits. Any compensation earned by the Executive from other employment or a consultancy shall reduce the payments required pursuant to clause (i) above or shall be governed by the terms of the Executive Severance Plan in the case of clause (ii) above.
4.5 Litigation Expenses. If RCPC and the Executive become involved in any action, suit or proceeding relating to the alleged breach of this Agreement by RCPC or the Executive, or any dispute as to whether a termination of the Executives employment is with or
5
without Cause, then if and to the extent that a final, non-appealable, judgment in such action, suit or proceeding is rendered in favor of the Executive, RCPC shall reimburse the Executive for all expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) incurred by the Executive in connection with such action, suit or proceeding or the portion thereof adjudicated in favor of the Executive.
5. Protection of Confidential Information; Non-Competition.
5.1 The Executive acknowledges that the Executives services will be unique, that they will involve the development of Company-subsidized relationships with key customers, suppliers, and service providers as well as with key Company employees and that the Executives work for the Company will give the Executive access to highly confidential information not available to the public or competitors, including trade secrets and confidential marketing, sales, product development and other data and plans which it would be impracticable for the Company to effectively protect and preserve in the absence of this Section 5 and the disclosure or misappropriation of which could materially adversely affect the Company. Accordingly, the Executive agrees:
5.1.1 except in the course of performing the Executives duties provided for in Section 1.1, not at any time, whether during or after the Executives employment with the Company, to divulge to any other entity or person any confidential information acquired by the Executive concerning the Companys or its affiliates financial affairs or business processes or methods or their research, development or marketing programs or plans, any other of its or their trade secrets, any information regarding personal matters of any directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company or its affiliates or their respective family members, or any information concerning the circumstances of the Executives employment and any termination of the Executives employment with the Company or any information regarding discussions related to any of the foregoing. The foregoing prohibitions shall include, without limitation, directly or indirectly publishing (or causing, participating in, assisting or providing any statement, opinion or information in connection with the publication of) any diary, memoir, letter, story, photograph, interview, article, essay, account or description (whether fictionalized or not) concerning any of the foregoing, publication being deemed to include any presentation or reproduction of any written, verbal or visual material in any communication medium, including any book, magazine, newspaper, theatrical production or movie, or television or radio programming or commercial or over the internet. In the event that the Executive is requested or required to make disclosure of information subject to this Section 5.1.1 under any court order, subpoena or other judicial process, the Executive will promptly notify RCPC, take all reasonable steps requested by RCPC to defend against the compulsory disclosure and permit RCPC, at its expense, to control with counsel of its choice any proceeding relating to the compulsory disclosure. The Executive acknowledges that all information the disclosure of which is prohibited by this section is of a confidential and proprietary character and of great value to the Company.
5.1.2 to deliver promptly to the Company on termination of the Executives employment with the Company, or at any time that RCPC may so request, all memoranda, notes, records, reports, manuals, drawings, blueprints and other documents (and all copies thereof) relating to the Companys business and all property associated therewith, which the Executive may then possess or have under the Executives control, including, without limitation, computer disks or data (including data retained on any computer), and any home office equipment or computers purchased or provided by Revlon or other materials.
6
5.2 In consideration of RCPCs covenant in Section 4.4, the Executive agrees (i) in all respects fully to comply with the terms of the Employee Agreement as to Confidentiality and Non-Competition (the Non-Competition Agreement), whether or not the Executive is a signatory thereof, with the same effect as if the same were set forth herein in full, and (ii) in the event that the Executive shall terminate the Executives employment otherwise than as provided in Section 4.4, the Executive shall comply with the restrictions set forth in paragraph 9(e) of the Non-Competition Agreement through the date on which the Term would then otherwise have expired pursuant to Section 2.1, subject only to the Company continuing to make payments equal to the Executives Base Salary during such period, notwithstanding the limitation otherwise applicable under paragraph 9(d) thereof or any other provision of the Non-Competition Agreement.
5.3 If the Executive commits a breach of any of the provisions of Sections 5.1 or 5.2 hereof, RCPC shall have the following rights and remedies:
5.3.1 the right and remedy to immediately terminate all further payments and benefits provided for in this Agreement, except as may otherwise be required by law in the case of qualified benefit plans,
5.3.2 the right and remedy to have the provisions of this Agreement specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach will cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages and disgorgement of profits will not provide an adequate remedy to the Company, and, if the Executive attempts or threatens to commit a breach of any of the provisions of Sections 5.1 or 5.2, the right and remedy to be granted a preliminary and permanent injunction in any court having equity jurisdiction against the Executive committing the attempted or threatened breach (it being agreed that each of the rights and remedies enumerated above shall be independent of the others and shall be severally enforceable, and that all of such rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to RCPC under law or in equity), and
5.3.3 the right and remedy to require the Executive to account for and pay over to the Company all compensation, profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits (collectively Benefits) derived or received by the Executive as the result of any transactions constituting a breach of any of the provisions of Sections 5.1 or 5.2 hereof, and the Executive hereby agrees to account for and pay over such Benefits as directed by RCPC.
5.4 If any of the covenants contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3, or any part thereof, hereafter are construed to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall not affect the remainder of the covenant or covenants, which shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions.
5.5 If any of the covenants contained in Sections 5.1 or 5.2, or any part thereof, are held to be unenforceable because of the duration of such provision or the area covered thereby, the parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and/or area of such provision so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and, in its reduced form, said provision shall then be enforceable.
7
5.6 The parties hereto intend to and hereby confer jurisdiction to enforce the covenants contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 upon the courts of any state or country within the geographical scope of such covenants. In the event that the courts of any one or more of such states or country shall hold such covenants wholly unenforceable by reason of the breadth of such covenants or otherwise, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such determination not bar or in any way affect RCPCs right to the relief provided above in the courts of any other states or country within the geographical scope of such covenants as to breaches of such covenants in such other respective jurisdictions, the above covenants as they relate to each state being for this purpose severable into diverse and independent covenants.
5.7 Any termination of the Term or the Executives employment shall have no effect on the continuing operation of this Section 5.
6. Inventions and Patents.
6.1 The Executive agrees that all processes, technologies and inventions (collectively, Inventions), including new contributions, improvements, ideas and discoveries, whether patentable or not, conceived, developed, invented or made by the Executive during the Term shall belong to the Company, provided that such Inventions grew out of the Executives work with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, are related in any manner to the business (commercial or experimental) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or are conceived or made on the Companys time or with the use of the Companys facilities or materials. The Executive shall further: (a) promptly disclose such Inventions to the Company; (b) assign to the Company, without additional compensation, all patent and other rights to such Inventions for the United States and foreign countries; (c) sign all papers necessary to carry out the foregoing; and (d) give testimony in support of the Executives inventorship.
6.2 If any Invention is described in a patent application or is disclosed to third parties, directly or indirectly, by the Executive within two years after the termination of the Executives employment with the Company, it is to be presumed that the Invention was conceived or made during the Term.
6.3 The Executive agrees that the Executive will not assert any rights to any Invention as having been made or acquired by the Executive prior to the date of this Agreement, except for Inventions, if any, disclosed to the Company in writing prior to the date hereof.
7. Intellectual Property.
Notwithstanding and without limitation of Section 6, the Company shall be the sole owner of all the products and proceeds of the Executives services hereunder, including, but not limited to, all materials, ideas, concepts, formats, suggestions, developments, arrangements, packages, programs and other intellectual properties that the Executive may acquire, obtain, develop or create in connection with or during the Term, free and clear of any claims by the Executive (or anyone claiming under the Executive) of any kind or character whatsoever (other than the Executives right to receive payments hereunder). The Executive shall, at the request of RCPC, execute such assignments, certificates or other instruments as RCPC may from time to time deem necessary or desirable to evidence, establish, maintain, perfect, protect, enforce or defend its right, title or interest in or to any such properties.

8. Revlon Code of Business Conduct.
In consideration of the Companys execution of this Agreement, the Executive agrees in all respects to fully comply with the terms of the Revlon Code of Business Conduct, annexed at Schedule A, including, without limitation, the Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers, annexed at Schedule B, whether or not the Executive is a signatory thereof, with the same effect as if the same were set forth herein in full.
9. Indemnification.
Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of its by-laws and applicable Delaware law, RCPC will defend and indemnify the Executive against all costs, charges and expenses incurred or sustained by the Executive in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which the Executive may be made a party, brought by any shareholder of the Company directly or derivatively or by any third party by reason of any act or omission of the Executive as an officer, director or employee of the Company or of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company.

Each party to this Agreement hereby waives the right to a jury trial in any lawsuit arising out of or relating to this Agreement or Executives employment by or termination of employment with the Company.
9
11.2 The section headings contained herein are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
11.3 This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings, written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof including any offer letter or term sheets. No representation, promise or inducement has been made by either party that is not embodied in this Agreement, and neither party shall be bound by or liable for any alleged representation, promise or inducement not so set forth.
11.4 This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assignees. This Agreement, and the Executives rights and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned by the Executive, nor may the Executive pledge, encumber or anticipate any payments or benefits due hereunder, by operation of law or otherwise. RCPC may assign its rights, together with its obligations, hereunder (i) to any affiliate or (ii) to a third party in connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of any business to which the Executives services are then principally devoted, provided that no assignment pursuant to clause (ii) shall relieve RCPC from its obligations hereunder to the extent the same are not timely discharged by such assignee.
11.5 This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded, canceled, renewed or extended and the terms or covenants hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument executed by both of the parties hereto, or in the case of a waiver, by the party waiving compliance. The failure of either party at any time or times to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner affect the right at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by either party of the breach of any term or covenant contained in this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such breach, or a waiver of the breach of any other term or covenant contained in this Agreement.
11.6 This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
12. Subsidiaries and Affiliates. As used herein, the term subsidiary shall mean any corporation or other business entity controlled directly or indirectly by the corporation or other business entity in question, and the term affiliate shall mean and include any corporation or other business entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with the corporation or other business entity in question.
13. Change of Control.
13.1 Change of Control Payments and Benefits.
(a) Extension of Term. In the event of any Change of Control, as defined on Schedule C, the Term of the Executives Agreement shall be automatically extended for 24 months from the effective date (the COC Effective Date) of any such Change of Control (the Extended Term).
10
(b) Benefit Continuation; Bonus and Salary Payment. If during the Extended Term, the Executive terminates the Term of his employment for COC Good Reason (as defined below in subclause (b)(iii)) or if the Company terminates the Term of the Executives employment other than for Cause (as defined in Section 4.3 of the Agreement)
(i) to the extent available under applicable law and the Companys group benefit programs, the Company shall provide, for a period of two years from such termination date, all fringe benefits then provided to the Executive, including, without limitation, qualified and non-qualified defined benefit, defined contribution, insurance, medical, dental, disability, automobile, financial planning, tax preparation and other benefit plans and programs of the Company as from time to time in effect (or their successors) in which the Executive participated on the COC Effective Date. To the extent that such benefits are not or cease being available under applicable law or and the Companys group benefit programs, such benefits cease to be equivalent to, or better than, the benefits under the plans and programs in effect on the COC Effective Date, or such benefits would trigger a tax under Section 409A, the Company shall immediately pay to the Executive in a cash lump sum payment an amount equal to the value (based on the then current cost to the Company) of such benefits (or the remaining eligible portion thereof, as the case may be) and shall have no further obligation to continue to provide the benefits under this Section;
(ii) the Company shall immediately pay to the Executive in a cash lump sum payment two times the sum of (A) the greater of the Executives Base Salary in effect on (1) the COC Effective Date or (2) such termination date plus (B) the average amount of the gross bonus amounts earned by the Executive over the five calendar years preceding such termination (or if employed by the Company for less than five calendar years, the actual number of calendar years for which the Executive was eligible to receive a bonus payment).
(iii) COC Good Reason means, for purposes of this subclause (b) only (and not for any other purpose or reason under this Agreement): (A) a material adverse change in the Executives job responsibilities; (B) any reduction in the Executives Base Salary; (C) any reduction in the Executives annual bonus opportunity; (D) any reduction in the Executives aggregate value of benefits; or (E) the Executives being required by the Company to relocate beyond a 50 mile radius of the Executives then current residence.
(iv) The Executive shall have no duty to mitigate by seeking other employment or otherwise and no compensation earned by the Executive from other employment, a consultancy or otherwise shall reduce any payments provided for under this Section 13.1.
(c) Equity Compensation. In the event of any Change of Control, all then unvested stock options and restricted shares held by the Executive shall immediately vest and be fully exercisable and all restrictions shall lapse.
11
(d) Governing Provision. In the event of any conflict between this Section 13 and any other section or provision of this Agreement, the section which provides the Executive with most favored treatment in the event of a Change of Control shall govern and prevail.
13.2 Section 280G.
(a) If the aggregate of all amounts and benefits due to the Executive under this Agreement or any other plan, program, agreement or arrangement of the Company or any of its Affiliates, which, if received by the Executive in full, would constitute parachute payments as such term is defined in and under Section 280G of the Code (collectively, Change of Control Benefits), reduced by all Federal, state and local taxes applicable thereto, including the excise tax imposed pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code, is less than the amount the Executive would receive, after all such applicable taxes, if the Executive received aggregate Change of Control Benefits equal to an amount which is $1.00 less than three times the Executives base amount, as defined in and determined under Section 280G of the Code, then such Change of Control Benefits shall be reduced or eliminated to the extent necessary so that the Change of Control Benefits received by the Executive will not constitute parachute payments. If a reduction in the Change of Control Benefits is necessary, reduction shall occur in the following order unless the Executive elects in writing a different order, subject to the Companys consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld): first, a reduction of cash payments not attributable to equity awards which vest on an accelerated basis; second, the cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock awards; third, the reduction of employee benefits; and fourth, a reduction in any other parachute payments. If acceleration of vesting of stock award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of the Executives stock awards unless the Executive elects in writing a different order for cancellation.
(b) It is possible that after the determinations and selections made pursuant to Section 13.2(a) above the Executive will receive Change of Control Benefits that are, in the aggregate, either more or less than the amounts contemplated by Section 13.2(a) above (hereafter referred to as an Excess Payment or Underpayment, respectively). If there is an Excess Payment, the Executive shall promptly repay the Company an amount consistent with this Section 13.2. If there is an Underpayment, the Company shall pay the Executive an amount consistent with this Section 13.2.
(c) The determinations with respect to this Section 13.2 shall be made by an independent auditor (the Auditor) compensated by the Company. The Auditor shall be the Companys regular independent auditor, unless the Executive objects to the use of that firm, in which event the Auditor shall be a nationally-recognized United States public accounting firm chosen by the Company and approved by the Executive (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

This AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this Agreement), dated as of April 25, 2008, is entered into by and between REVLON CONSUMER PRODUCTS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (RCPC and, together with its parent Revlon, Inc. and its subsidiaries, the Company), and Robert K. Kretzman (the Executive).
Whereas the parties hereto have entered into this Agreement as of the above date primarily to include herein certain language responsive to the enactment of, and recent regulatory guidance in respect to, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986; and
Whereas RCPC wishes to continue to employ the Executive as Executive Vice President, Human Resources, Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel, and the Executive wishes to accept continued employment with the Company on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement;
Now, therefore, RCPC and the Executive hereby agree as follows:
Employment, Duties and Acceptance.
1.1 Employment, Duties. RCPC hereby employs the Executive for the Term (as defined in Section 2.1) to render exclusive and full-time services to the Company as chief legal officer and the executive responsible for world-wide legal affairs, human resources, licensing and security of Revlon, Inc. and its subsidiaries, and to perform such other duties consistent therewith as may be assigned to the Executive from time to time. The Executives title shall be Executive Vice President, Human Resources, Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel, or such other title of at least equivalent level consistent with the Executives duties from time to time as may be assigned to the Executive. The Executive shall be a member of the Operating Committee or such other committee of the Companys most senior executives as may succeed the Operating Committee from time to time and report to the President and Chief Executive Officer of Revlon, Inc. or his designee.
1.2 Acceptance. The Executive hereby accepts such employment and agrees to render the services described above. During the Term, the Executive agrees to serve the Company faithfully and to the best of the Executives ability, to devote the Executives entire business time, energy and skill to such employment, and to use the Executives best efforts, skill and ability to promote the Companys interests.
1.3 Location. The duties to be performed by the Executive hereunder shall be performed primarily at the office of RCPC in the New York City metropolitan area, subject to reasonable travel requirements consistent with the nature of the Executives duties from time to time on behalf of the Company.
2. Term of Employment; Certain Post-Term Benefits.
2.1 The Term. The term of the Executives employment under this Agreement (the Term) shall commence on the date hereof (the Effective Date) and shall end on such date as is provided pursuant to Section 2.2.
2.2 End-of-Term Provisions. At any time during the Term, RCPC shall have the right to give written notice of non-extension of the Term. In the event RCPC gives such notice of non-extension, the Term automatically shall end on the second anniversary of the date on which RCPC give such notice. The giving of such notice shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by RCPC for purposes of Section 4.4. During any period that the Executives employment shall continue following expiration of the Term, the Executive shall be eligible for severance on terms and subject to the conditions of the Revlon Executive Severance Pay Plan as in effect from time to time, or such plan or plans, if any, as may succeed it; provided that the Executive shall receive terms no less favorable than those of the Revlon Executive Severance Policy as in effect on January 1, 2002 (the Executive Severance Plan); and further provided that in no event shall the severance and benefit continuation be less than 24 months, upon the Executives compliance with the terms thereof, and the Executive shall be deemed to be an employee at will.
2.3 Special Curtailment. The Term shall end earlier than the date provided in Section 2.2, if sooner terminated pursuant to Section 4.
3. Compensation; Benefits.
3.1 Salary. As compensation for all services to be rendered pursuant to this Agreement, RCPC agrees to pay the Executive during the Term a base salary, payable in bi-weekly arrears, at the annual rate of not less than that currently in effect on the Effective Date (the Base Salary). All payments of Base Salary or other compensation hereunder shall be less such deductions or withholdings as are required by applicable law and regulations. The Executive will be considered for merit increases in connection with the Executives performance evaluations, which are performed in accordance with the Companys salary administration policies and procedures. In the event that RCPC, in its sole discretion, from time to time determines to increase the Base Salary, such increased amount shall, from and after the effective date of the increase, constitute Base Salary for purposes of this Agreement and shall not thereafter be decreased.
3.2 Bonus.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executives employment shall end pursuant to Section 4.2 or 4.4 at any time during the Term, the Executives bonus with respect to the calendar year in which the termination occurs shall be an amount equal to the bonus that would have been payable to the Executive with respect to such year if the Executive had remained employed to the date for payment of bonuses under such Plan, multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator is the number of days of the Term during such year and the denominator is 365. Notwithstanding anything herein or contained in the Bonus Plan to the contrary, in the event that the Executives employment shall terminate pursuant to Section 4.4 during any calendar year, the Executive shall be entitled to receive the Executives bonus (if not already paid) with respect to the year immediately preceding the year of termination (if bonuses with respect to such year are payable to other executives based upon achievement of bonus objectives and not based upon discretionary amounts which may be paid to other executives despite non-achievement of bonus objectives) as and when such bonuses would otherwise be payable to executives under the Bonus Plan, despite the fact that Executive may not be actively employed on such date of payment.

If the Company shall terminate the Executives employment without Cause pursuant to Section 4.4 or if the Executive shall terminate his employment pursuant to Section 4.4, each option award held by the Executive (collectively, the Option Awards) and each restricted share award held by the Executive (collectively, the Restricted Share Awards and, together with the Option Awards, the Equity Awards), shall (x) in the case of each of the Option Awards, (A) continue to vest in accordance with its terms as if the Executives employment had not been terminated and he had remained employed with the Company and (B) remain exercisable until the later of (i) one year after such Option Award becomes 100% fully vested and exercisable or (ii) 18 months following the Executives termination of employment with the Company, but in no event beyond the original option term of each such award and (y) in the case of each of the Restricted Share Awards, continue to vest as if the Executives employment had not been terminated and he had remained employed with the Company.

The Executive shall be entitled to terminate the Term and the Executives employment upon 60 days prior written notice in the event that (i) RCPC materially breaches any of its obligations hereunder, (ii) a material adverse change in the position, title or reporting structure of the Executive, or (iii) a relocation of Revlon, Inc.s headquarters outside the New York metropolitan area or the relocation of the Executives principal place of employment to any location other than such headquarters, provided the Company shall fail to cure any such event described in (i), (ii) or (iii) within 30 days after such notice; or that at any time prior to a Change of Control, the Compensation Committee (or other appropriate Committee) of the Board of Directors of Revlon, Inc. shall fail to grant awards pursuant to Section 3.3.In addition, RCPC shall be entitled to terminate the Term and the Executives employment at any time and without prior notice otherwise than pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.3. In consideration of the Executives covenant in Section 5.2, upon termination under this Section 4.4 by the Executive, or in the event RCPC so terminates the Term pursuant to this Section 4.4, RCPC agrees, and the Companys sole obligation arising from such termination (except as otherwise provided in Section 3.6) shall be for RCPC either
(i) to make the payment in lieu of bonus prescribed by Section 3.2 and to continue payments in lieu of Base Salary in the amounts prescribed by Section 3.1 and continue the Executives participation in the group life insurance and in the medical, dental and other perquisites of the Company in which the Executive was entitled to participate pursuant to Section 3.6 (in each case less amounts required by law to be withheld) through the date on which the Term would have expired pursuant to Section 2.2, if RCPC had given notice of non-extension of the Term on or as promptly as permitted by Section 2.2 after the date of termination of employment, provided that such benefit continuation is subject to the terms of such plans, provided further that such group life insurance continuation is subject to a limit of two years pursuant to the terms thereof, provided further that the Executive shall cease to be covered by medical and/or dental plans of the Company at such time as the Executive becomes covered by like plans of another company, and provided finally that the Executive shall, as a condition, execute such release, confidentiality, non-competition and other covenants as would be required in order for the Executive to receive payments and benefits under the Policy referred to in clause (ii) below, or
(ii) to make the payments and provide the benefits prescribed by the Executive Severance Plan upon the Executives compliance with the terms thereof, provided that in no event shall the severance period be less than 24 months.
The Company shall provide the greater of the payments and other benefits described under clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 4.4; provided, however, if the provision of any benefits described above would trigger a tax under Section 409A, the Company shall instead promptly pay to the Executive in a cash lump sum payment an amount equal to the value (based on the then-current cost to the Company) of such benefits. Any compensation earned by the Executive from other employment or a consultancy shall reduce the payments required pursuant to clause (i) above or shall be governed by the terms of the Executive Severance Plan as modified by the foregoing in the case of clause (ii) above.
4.5 Litigation Expenses. If RCPC and the Executive become involved in any action, suit or proceeding relating to the alleged breach of this Agreement by RCPC or the Executive, then if and to the extent that a final judgment in such action, suit or proceeding is rendered in favor of the
5
Executive, RCPC shall reimburse the Executive for all expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) incurred by the Executive in connection with such action, suit or proceeding or the portion thereof adjudicated in favor of the Executive. Such costs shall be paid to the Executive promptly upon presentation of expense statements or other supporting information evidencing the incurrence of such expenses.
4.6 Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. Section 409A of the Code (as defined below) and/or its related rules and regulations (Section 409A), imposes additional taxes and interest on compensation or benefits deferred under certain nonqualified deferred compensation plans (as defined under the Code). These plans may include, among others, nonqualified retirement plans, bonus plans, stock option plans, employment agreements and severance agreements. The Company reserves the right to provide compensation or benefits under any such plan in amounts, at times and in a manner that minimizes taxes, interest or penalties as a result of Section 409A, including any required withholdings, and the Executive agrees to cooperate with the Company in such actions. Specifically, and without limitation of the previous sentence, if the Executive is a specified employee, as such term is defined under Section 409A (generally one of the Companys top 50 highest paid officers), to the extent required under Section 409A, the Company will not make any payments to the Executive under this Agreement upon a separation of service, as such term is defined under Section 409A, until six months after the Executives date of separation from service or, if earlier, the date of the Executives death. Upon expiration of the six-month period, or, if earlier, the date of the Executives death, the Company shall make a payment to the Executive (or his beneficiary or estate, if applicable) equal to the sum of all payments that would have been paid to the Executive from the date of separation from service had the Executive not been a specified employee through the end of the six month period, and thereafter the Company will make all the payments at the times specified in this Agreement or applicable policy as the case may be. In addition, the Company and the Executive agree that, for purposes of this Agreement, termination of employment (or any variation thereof) will satisfy all of the requirements of separation from service as defined under Section 409A. For purposes of this Agreement, the right to a series of installment payments, such as salary continuation or severance payments, shall be treated as the right to a series of separate payments and shall not be treated as a right to a single payment. For purposes of this Agreement, the term Code shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, including all final regulations promulgated thereunder, and any reference to a particular section of the Code shall include any provision that modifies, replaces or supersedes such section.
5. Protection of Confidential Information; Non-Competition.
5.1 The Executive acknowledges that the Executives services will be unique, that they will involve the development of Company-subsidized relationships with key customers, suppliers, and service providers as well as with key Company employees and that the Executives work for the Company has given and will give the Executive access to highly confidential information not available to the public or competitors, including trade secrets and confidential marketing, sales, product development and other data and plans which it would be impracticable for the Company to effectively protect and preserve in the absence of this Section 5 and the disclosure or misappropriation of which could materially adversely affect the Company. Accordingly, the Executive agrees:
6
5.1.1 except in the course of performing the Executives duties provided for in Section 1.1, not at any time, whether during or after the Executives employment with the Company, to divulge to any other entity or person any confidential information acquired by the Executive concerning the Companys or its affiliates financial affairs or business processes or methods or their research, development or marketing programs or plans, any other of its or their trade secrets, any information regarding personal matters of any directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company or its affiliates or their respective family members, or any information concerning the circumstances of the Executives employment and any termination of the Executives employment with the Company or any information regarding discussions related to any of the foregoing. The foregoing prohibitions shall include, without limitation, directly or indirectly publishing (or causing, participating in, assisting or providing any statement, opinion or information in connection with the publication of) any diary, memoir, letter, story, photograph, interview, article, essay, account or description (whether fictionalized or not) concerning any of the foregoing, publication being deemed to include any presentation or reproduction of any written, verbal or visual material in any communication medium, including any book, magazine, newspaper, theatrical production or movie, or television or radio programming or commercial or over the internet. In the event that the Executive is requested or required to make disclosure of information subject to this Section 5.1.1 under any court order, subpoena or other judicial process, the Executive will promptly notify RCPC, take all reasonable steps requested by RCPC to defend against the compulsory disclosure and permit RCPC to control with counsel of its choice any proceeding relating to the compulsory disclosure. The Executive acknowledges that all information the disclosure of which is prohibited by this section is of a confidential and proprietary character and of great value to the Company.
5.1.2 to deliver promptly to the Company on termination of the Executives employment with the Company, or at any time that RCPC may so request, all memoranda, notes, records, reports, manuals, drawings, blueprints and other documents (and all copies thereof) relating to the Companys business and all property associated therewith, which the Executive may then possess or have under the Executives control, including, without limitation, computer disks or data (including data retained on any computer), and any home office equipment or computers purchased or provided by Revlon or other materials.
5.2 In consideration of RCPCs covenant in Section 4.4, the Executive agrees (i) in all respects fully to comply with the terms of the Employee Agreement as to Confidentiality and Non-Competition (the Non-Competition Agreement), whether or not the Executive is a signatory thereof, with the same effect as if the same were set forth herein in full, and (ii) in the event that the Executive shall terminate the Executives employment otherwise than as provided in Section 4.4, the Executive shall comply with the restrictions set forth in paragraph 9(e) of the Non-Competition Agreement through the earliest date on which the Term would have expired pursuant to Section 2.2 if RCPC had given notice of non-extension of the Term on the date of termination of employment, subject only to the Company continuing to make payments equal to the Executives Base Salary during such period, notwithstanding the limitation otherwise applicable under paragraph 9(d) thereof or any other provision of the Non-Competition Agreement.
7
5.3 If the Executive commits a breach of any of the provisions of Sections 5.1 or 5.2 hereof, RCPC shall have the following rights and remedies:
5.3.1 the right and remedy to immediately terminate all further payments and benefits provided for in this Agreement, except as may otherwise be required by law in the case of qualified benefit plans,
5.3.2 the right and remedy to have the provisions of this Agreement specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach will cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages and disgorgement of profits will not provide an adequate remedy to the Company, and, if the Executive attempts or threatens to commit a breach of any of the provisions of Sections 5.1 or 5.2, the right and remedy to be granted a preliminary and permanent injunction in any court having equity jurisdiction against the Executive committing the attempted or threatened breach (it being agreed that each of the rights and remedies enumerated above shall be independent of the others and shall be severally enforceable, and that all of such rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to RCPC under law or in equity), and
5.3.3 the right and remedy to require the Executive to account for and pay over to the Company all compensation, profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits (collectively Benefits) derived or received by the Executive as the result of any transactions constituting a breach of any of the provisions of Sections 5.1 or 5.2 hereof, and the Executive hereby agrees to account for and pay over such Benefits as directed by RCPC.
5.4 If any of the covenants contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3, or any part thereof, hereafter are construed to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall not affect the remainder of the covenant or covenants, which shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions.
5.5 If any of the covenants contained in Sections 5.1 or 5.2, or any part thereof, are held to be unenforceable because of the duration of such provision or the area covered thereby, the parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and/or area of such provision so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and, in its reduced form, said provision shall then be enforceable.
5.6 The parties hereto intend to and hereby confer jurisdiction to enforce the covenants contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 upon the courts of any state within the geographical scope of such covenants. In the event that the courts of any one or more of such states shall hold such covenants wholly unenforceable by reason of the breadth of such covenants or otherwise, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such determination not bar or in any way affect RCPCs right to the relief provided above in the courts of any other states within the geographical scope of such covenants as to breaches of such covenants in such other respective jurisdictions, the above covenants as they relate to each state being for this purpose severable into diverse and independent covenants.
8
5.7 Any termination of the Term or the Executives employment shall have no effect on the continuing operation of this Section 5.
6. Inventions and Patents.
6.1 The Executive agrees that all processes, technologies and inventions (collectively, Inventions), including new contributions, improvements, ideas and discoveries, whether patentable or not, conceived, developed, invented or made by him during the Term shall belong to the Company, provided that such Inventions grew out of the Executives work with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, are related in any manner to the business (commercial or experimental) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or are conceived or made on the Companys time or with the use of the Companys facilities or materials. The Executive shall further: (a) promptly disclose such Inventions to the Company; (b) assign to the Company, without additional compensation, all patent and other rights to such Inventions for the United States and foreign countries; (c) sign all papers necessary to carry out the foregoing; and (d) give testimony in support of the Executives inventorship.

6.3 The Executive agrees that the Executive will not assert any rights to any Invention as having been made or acquired by the Executive prior to the date of this Agreement, except for Inventions, if any, disclosed to the Company in writing prior to the date hereof.
7. Intellectual Property.

The Executive shall, at the request of RCPC, execute such assignments, certificates or other instruments as RCPC may from time to time deem necessary or desirable to evidence, establish, maintain, perfect, protect, enforce or defend its right, title or interest in or to any such properties.

11.2 The section headings contained herein are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
11.3 This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings, written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof. No representation, promise or inducement has been made by either party that is not embodied in this Agreement, and neither party shall be bound by or liable for any alleged representation, promise or inducement not so set forth.

13. Change of Control.
13.1 Change of Control Payments and Benefits.
(a) Extension of Term. In the event of any Change of Control, as defined on Schedule B, the Term of the Executives Agreement shall be automatically extended for 24 months from the effective date (the COC Effective Date) of any such Change of Control (the Extended Term).
(b) Benefit Continuation; Bonus and Salary Payment. If during the Extended Term, the Executive terminates the Term of his employment for COC Good Reason (as defined below in subclause (b)(iii)) or if the Company terminates the Term of the Executives employment other than for Cause (as defined in Section 4.3 of the Agreement):
11
(i) to the extent available under applicable law and the Companys benefit programs, the Company shall provide, for a period of two years from such termination date, all fringe benefits then provided to the Executive, including, without limitation, qualified and non-qualified defined benefit, defined contribution, insurance, medical, dental, disability, automobile, financial planning, tax preparation and other benefit plans and programs of the Company as from time to time in effect (or their successors) in which the Executive participated on the COC Effective Date. To the extent that such benefits are not or cease being available under applicable law or the Companys benefit programs, or such benefits would trigger a tax under Section 409A, the Company shall immediately pay to the Executive in a cash lump sum payment an amount equal to the value (based on the then current cost to the Company) of such benefits (or the remaining eligible portion thereof, as the case may be) and shall have no further obligation to continue to provide the benefits under this Section;
(ii) the Company shall immediately pay to the Executive in a cash lump sum payment two times the sum of (A) the greater of the Executives Base Salary in effect on (1) the COC Effective Date or (2) such termination date plus (B) the average amount of the gross bonus amounts earned by the Executive over the five calendar years preceding such termination.
(iii) COC Good Reason means, for purposes of this subclause (b) only (and not for any other purpose or reason under this Agreement): (A) a material adverse change in the Executives job responsibilities; (B) any reduction in the Executives Base Salary; (C) any reduction in the Executives annual bonus opportunity; (D) any reduction in the Executives aggregate value of benefits; or (E) the Executives being required by the Company to relocate beyond a 50 mile radius of the Executives then current residence.
(iv) the Executive shall have no duty to mitigate by seeking other employment or otherwise and no compensation earned by the Executive from other employment, a consultancy or otherwise shall reduce any payments provided for under this Section 13.1.
(c) Equity Compensation. In the event of any Change of Control, all then unvested stock options and restricted shares held by the Executive shall immediately vest and be fully exercisable and all restrictions shall lapse.
(d) Governing Provision. In the event of any conflict between this Section 13 of the Agreement and any other section or provision of the Agreement, the section which provides the Executive with most favored treatment in the event of a Change of Control shall govern and prevail.
13.2 Section 280G.
(a) If the aggregate of all amounts and benefits due to the Executive under this Agreement or any other plan, program, agreement or arrangement of the Company or any of its Affiliates, which, if received by the Executive in full, would constitute parachute payments as
12
such term is defined in and under Section 280G of the Code (collectively, Change of Control Benefits), reduced by all Federal, state and local taxes applicable thereto, including the excise tax imposed pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code, is less than the amount the Executive would receive, after all such applicable taxes, if the Executive received aggregate Change of Control Benefits equal to an amount which is $1.00 less than three times the Executives base amount, as defined in and determined under Section 280G of the Code, then such Change of Control Benefits shall be reduced or eliminated to the extent necessary so that the Change of Control Benefits received by the Executive will not constitute parachute payments. If a reduction in the Change of Control Benefits is necessary, reduction shall occur in the following order unless the Executive elects in writing a different order, subject to the Companys consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld): first, a reduction of cash payments not attributable to equity awards which vest on an accelerated basis; second, the cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock awards; third, the reduction of employee benefits; and fourth, a reduction in any other parachute payments. If acceleration of vesting of stock award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of the Executives stock awards unless the Executive elects in writing a different order for cancellation.
(b) It is possible that after the determinations and selections made pursuant to Section 13.2(a) above the Executive will receive Change of Control Benefits that are, in the aggregate, either more or less than the amounts contemplated by Section 13.2(a) above (hereafter referred to as an Excess Payment or Underpayment, respectively). If there is an Excess Payment, the Executive shall promptly repay the Company an amount consistent with this Section 13.2. If there is an Underpayment, the Company shall pay the Executive an amount consistent with this Section 13.2.
(c) The determinations with respect to this Section 13.2 shall be made by an independent auditor (the Auditor) compensated by the Company. The Auditor shall be the Companys regular independent auditor, unless the Executive objects to the use of that firm, in which event the Auditor shall be a nationally-recognized United States public accounting firm chosen by the Company and approved by the Executive (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
