(a)
Pursuant to the share withholding provisions of the Fourth Amended and Restated Revlon, Inc. Stock Plan (the "Stock Plan"), the Company withheld an aggregate of 167,297 shares of Revlon Class A Common Stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to satisfy certain minimum statutory tax withholding requirements related to the vesting of restricted shares for certain senior executives. These withheld shares were recorded as treasury stock using the cost method, at a weighted-average price per share of $21.42 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, based on the closing price of Revlon Class A Common Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") consolidated tape on each respective vesting date, for a total of $3.6 million. See Note 15, "Stock Compensation Plan" to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Revlon's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on March 15, 2018 (the "2017 Form 10-K"), for details regarding restricted stock awards under the Stock Plan.

Item 1. Financial Statements

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revlon, Inc. ("Revlon" and together with its subsidiaries, the "Company") conducts its business exclusively through its direct wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Revlon Consumer Products Corporation ("Products Corporation"), and its subsidiaries. Revlon is an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of MacAndrews & Forbes Incorporated (together with certain of its affiliates other than the Company, "MacAndrews & Forbes"), a corporation wholly-owned by Ronald O. Perelman.
The Company is a leading global beauty company with an iconic portfolio of brands that develops, manufactures, markets, distributes and sells an extensive array of color cosmetics; hair color, hair care and hair treatments; fragrances; skin care; beauty tools; men’s grooming products; anti-perspirant deodorants; and other beauty care products across a variety of distribution channels.
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company implemented the brand-centric organizational structure previously announced in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on January 17, 2017. The new structure is built around four global brand teams: Revlon; Elizabeth Arden; Portfolio; and Fragrances, which represent the Company's four new reporting segments. As a result, prior period information for certain amounts has been reclassified to conform with the current period's presentation. For further information, refer to Note 13, "Segment Data and Related Information."
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited. In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial information have been made. The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the Company's accounts after the elimination of all material intercompany balances and transactions. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
The preparation of the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") 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 Unaudited 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; trade support costs; certain assumptions related to the valuation of acquired intangible and long-lived assets and the recoverability of goodwill, intangible and long-lived assets; income taxes, including deferred tax valuation allowances and reserves for estimated tax liabilities; restructuring costs; and certain estimates and assumptions used in the calculation of the net periodic benefit (income) costs and the projected benefit obligations for the Company’s pension and other post-retirement plans, including the expected long-term return on pension plan assets and the discount rate used to value the Company’s pension benefit obligations. The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in Revlon's 2017 Form 10-K.
The Company's results of operations and financial position for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the full year.

Classification of Argentina's Economy as Highly Inflationary

In May 2018, the International Practices Task Force of the Center for Audit Quality issued a discussion document reporting that Argentina's 3-year cumulative inflation rate exceeded 100%. As a result, Argentina was considered highly inflationary in accordance with U.S. GAAP by no later than June 30, 2018. Consequently, the Company began to account for the operations of its Argentinian affiliate as highly inflationary and treat the U.S. dollar as the functional currency of this affiliate, effective July 1, 2018. This change in functional currency did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and/or financial statement disclosures for the period ended September 30, 2018.

Recent Transactions

The Company, through a subsidiary, had a minority investment in a third party whose subsidiaries licensed certain brand names from the Company for use in their operations. The Company's investment was in the form of a collateralized convertible note, was accounted for using the cost method and was included in other assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. In June 2018, the Company entered into an agreement to terminate the arrangement with the unrelated third party. After a brief transition period, the right to use the licensed brand names will revert to the Company. As a result of this termination, the Company recognized a loss on investment of approximately $20.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, comprised of

(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)

a one-time $1.5 million cash termination payment and non-cash charges of $18.6 million, primarily related to the write-off of the investment's carrying value.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." This standard replaced most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP and codified guidance under FASB Topic 606. The underlying principle of this guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects that it will be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services.
The Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09 as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. Results for the reporting period beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with the Company's historic accounting practices under previous guidance. However, given the nature of the Company's products and the terms and conditions applicable to sales to its customers, the timing and amount of revenue recognized based on the underlying principles of FASB Topic 606 are consistent with the Company's revenue recognition policy under previous guidance.
In accordance with the new guidance, the Company recognizes revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects that it will be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring goods or services to its customers. The Company's policy is to record revenue when control of the goods transfers to the customer. Net sales are comprised of gross revenues from sales of products less expected product returns, trade discounts and customer allowances, which include costs associated with off-invoice mark-downs and other price reductions, as well as trade promotions and coupons.
The Company allows customers to return their unsold products if and when they meet certain Company-established criteria as set forth in the Company's trade terms. The Company regularly reviews and revises, when deemed necessary, its estimates of sales returns based primarily upon the historical rate of actual product returns, planned product discontinuances, new product launches and estimates of customer inventory and promotional sales. For returned products that the Company expects to resell at a profit, the Company records, in addition to sales returns as a reduction to sales and cost of sales and an increase to accrued liabilities for the amount expected to be refunded to the customer, an increase to the asset account used to reflect the Company's right to recover products. The amount of the asset account is valued based upon the former carrying amount of the product (i.e., inventory), less any expected costs to recover the products. As the estimated product returns that are expected to be resold at a profit do not comprise a significant amount of the Company's net sales or assets, the Company does not separately report these amounts.
The Company's revenues are also net of certain marketing arrangements with its retail customers. Pursuant to its trade terms with these retail customers, the Company reimburses them for a portion of their advertising costs, which provide advertising benefits to the Company. These arrangements are in the form of marketing development funds and/or cooperative advertising and are used by the Company to drive sales. The advertising programs follow an annual schedule of planned events that is continually updated based on the Company's needs and contractual terms. As these marketing expenditures cannot be directly linked to product sales, the Company records these expenses as a reduction of revenue at the higher of actual spend or estimated costs based on a reserve rate methodology. This did not result in any impact to the Company's financial statements in any of the periods presented.
In limited instances when products are sold under consignment arrangements, the Company does not recognize revenue until control over such products has transferred to the end consumer.
Other revenues, primarily royalties, do not comprise a material amount of the Company's net sales.
The Company incurs costs associated with product distribution, such as freight and handling costs. The Company has elected to treat these costs as fulfillment activities and recognizes these costs at the same time that it recognizes the underlying product revenue. As this policy election is in line with the Company's previous accounting practices, the treatment of shipping and handling activities under FASB Topic 606 did not have any impact on the Company's results of operations, financial condition and/or financial statement disclosures.
As a result, the adoption of the new guidance under ASU No. 2014-09 did not have a material impact on the Company's revenues, results of operations or financial condition. The Company has expanded its financial statement disclosures as required by this new standard. See Note 13, "Segment Data and Related Information," for additional disclosures provided as a result of this ASU.

Other

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, "Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost," which changes the way that employers present net periodic pension cost ("NPPC") and net periodic postretirement benefit cost ("NPPBC") within the income statement. The amendment requires an employer to present the service cost component of NPPC and NPPBC in the same income statement line items as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. The other components of NPPC and NPPBC are to be presented separately from this line item and below any subtotal of operating income. In addition, only the service cost component would be eligible for capitalization in assets. The Company adopted ASU No. 2017-07 as of January 1, 2018 and while its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial condition and/or financial statement disclosures, it did result in net periodic benefit cost of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, as previously reported in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income, being reclassified below operating income in the miscellaneous, net line item. There was no reclassification impact for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. See Note 10, "Pension and Post-Retirement Benefits" for more information.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," which requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a related lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases, with the exception of short-term leases. The lease liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments and the right-of-use asset will be based on the lease liability, subject to certain adjustments, such as initial direct costs. Leases will continue to be classified as either operating or finance leases in the income statement. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt ASU No. 2016-02 beginning as of January 1, 2019. Upon evaluation, the Company believes that the main change as a result of its adopting ASU No. 2016-02 will be the recognition of its lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets on the Company's balance sheet, but expects minimal impact to its statement of operations or cash flows. The Company continues to assess the impact that the adoption of this new guidance will have on its financial statements and will estimate the impact on its consolidated balance sheet when filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, "Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) - Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract," which requires a customer in a cloud computing hosting arrangement that is a service contract to follow the existing guidance in ASC 350-40 on internal-use software to determine which implementation costs to defer and recognize as an asset and which costs are expensed as incurred. The new guidance specifies the financial statement presentation of capitalized implementation costs and the related amortization and requires entities to disclose the nature of hosting arrangements that are service contracts; the amount of implementation costs capitalized, amortized and impaired in each reporting period; and provide disclosures about significant judgments made when applying the guidance. Implementation costs that are recognized as an asset under the new guidance would be expensed over the term of the hosting arrangement. The term of the hosting arrangement would be the non-cancellable period of the arrangement and certain periods covered by options to renew the arrangement. The Company currently presents the cost of acquired software as a component of property, plant and equipment in its consolidated financial statements. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt ASU No. 2018-15 beginning as of January 1, 2020 and is in the process of assessing the impact, if any, that this new guidance is expected to have on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and/or financial statement disclosures.


2. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

EA Integration Restructuring Program

In December 2016, in connection with integrating the Elizabeth Arden and Revlon organizations, the Company began the process of implementing certain integration activities, including consolidating offices, eliminating certain duplicative activities and streamlining back-office support (the "EA Integration Restructuring Program"). The EA Integration Restructuring Program is designed to reduce the Company’s cost of goods sold and SG&A expenses. In connection with implementing the EA Integration Restructuring Program, the Company expects to recognize approximately $90 million to $95 million of total pre-tax restructuring charges (the "EA Integration Restructuring Charges"), consisting of: (i) approximately $70 million to $75 million of employee-related costs, including severance, retention and other contractual termination benefits; (ii) approximately $10 million of lease termination costs; and (iii) approximately $10 million of other related charges.

3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In December 2013, the Company announced restructuring actions that primarily included exiting its direct manufacturing, warehousing and sales business operations in mainland China within the Revlon segment (the "December 2013 Program"). The December 2013 Program resulted in the elimination of approximately 1,100 positions in 2014, primarily in China. With the implementation of the December 2013 Program, the results of the China discontinued operations, which relate entirely to the Revlon segment, are included within income from discontinued operations, net of taxes.

5. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET

Goodwill

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company implemented its brand-centric organizational structure that is built around four global brand teams: Revlon; Elizabeth Arden; Portfolio; and Fragrances, which also represent the Company's reporting segments. Concurrent with the change in reporting segments, goodwill was reassigned to the affected reporting units that have been identified within each reporting segment using a relative fair value allocation approach outlined in ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other.

The following table presents the amount of goodwill that has been reassigned to each of the Company's reportable segments as of January 1, 2018 using the relative fair value allocation approach, as well as any changes in goodwill by segment during the nine months ended September 30, 2018:

July 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Loan Credit Agreement
In July 2018, Revlon Holdings B.V. (the "Dutch Borrower"), a wholly owned indirect foreign subsidiary of Products Corporation, Revlon Finance LLC, a wholly owned direct subsidiary of the Dutch Borrower (the "U.S. Co-Borrower" and, together with the Dutch Borrower, the "Borrowers"), the other loan parties, the lenders party thereto and Citibank, N.A., acting as administrative agent and collateral agent (the "Agent"), entered into an Asset-Based Term Loan Credit Agreement (the "Asset-Based Term Facility" and the "Asset-Based Term Agreement," respectively) and related guarantee and security agreements.

Principal and Maturity: The Asset-Based Term Facility provides for a euro-denominated senior secured asset-based term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of €77 million, the full amount of which was funded on the closing of the facility in July 2018. The Asset-Based Term Facility has an uncommitted incremental facility pursuant to which it may be increased from time to time by up to €43 million, subject to certain conditions and the agreement of the lenders providing such increase. The proceeds of the loans under the Asset-Based Term Facility are being used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The Asset-Based Term Facility matures on July 9, 2021.

The Asset-Based Term Agreement requires the maintenance of a borrowing base supporting the borrowing thereunder, to be evidenced with the delivery of monthly borrowing base certificates customary for facilities of this type, with more frequent reporting required upon the triggering of certain events. The borrowing base calculation under the Asset-Based Term Facility is based on the sum of: (i) 85% of eligible accounts receivable; and (ii) 90% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory, in each case with respect to certain of Products Corporation’s subsidiaries organized in Australia, Bermuda, Germany, Italy, Spain and Switzerland (the "Borrowing Base Guarantors" and, together with the Borrowers, the "Loan Parties"). The borrowing bases in each jurisdiction are subject to certain customary availability reserves set by the Agent.

Guarantees and Security: The Asset-Based Term Facility is guaranteed by the Borrowing Base Guarantors, as well as by the direct parent entities of each Borrowing Base Guarantor (not including Revlon or Products Corporation) on a limited recourse basis (the "Parent Guarantors"). The obligations of the Loan Parties and the Parent Guarantors under the Asset-Based Term Facility are secured by first-ranking pledges of the equity of each Loan Party, the inventory and accounts receivable of the Borrowing Base Guarantors, the material bank accounts of each Loan Party, the material intercompany indebtedness owing to any Loan Party (including any intercompany loans made with the proceeds of the Asset-Based Term Facility) and certain other material assets of

(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)

the Borrowing Base Guarantors. The Asset-Based Term Facility includes a cash dominion feature customary for transactions of this type.

Interest and Fees: Interest is payable on each interest payment date as set forth in the Asset-Based Term Agreement, and in any event at least quarterly, and accrues on borrowings under the Asset-Based Term Facility at a rate per annum equal to the EURIBOR rate plus an applicable margin equal to 6.50%. The Borrowers are obligated to pay certain fees and expenses in connection with the Asset-Based Term Facility, including a fee payable to Citibank, N.A. for its services as Agent. Voluntary prepayments and certain mandatory prepayments of the loans under the Asset-Based Term Facility made prior to January 9, 2019 are subject to a 1.0% premium. Loans under the Asset-Based Term Facility may be prepaid without premium or penalty after January 9, 2019.

Affirmative and Negative Covenants: The Asset-Based Term Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit the Loan Parties’ ability to, subject to various exceptions and qualifications: (i) incur additional debt; (ii) incur liens; (iii) sell, transfer or dispose of assets; (iv) make investments; (v) make dividends and distributions on, or repurchases of, equity; (vi) make prepayments of contractually subordinated or junior lien debt; (vii) enter into certain transactions with their affiliates, including amending certain material intercompany agreements or trade terms; (viii) enter into sale-leaseback transactions; (ix) change their lines of business; (x) restrict dividends from their subsidiaries or restrict liens; (xi) change their fiscal year; and (xii) modify the terms of certain debt. The Parent Guarantors are subject to certain customary holding company covenants. The ability of the Loan Parties to make certain intercompany asset sales, investments, restricted payments and prepayments of intercompany debt is contingent on certain "cash movement conditions" or "payment conditions" being met, which among other things, require a certain level of liquidity for the applicable Loan Party to effect such type of transactions. The Asset-Based Term Agreement also contains certain customary representations, warranties and events of default.

Prepayments: The Borrowers must prepay loans under the Asset-Based Term Facility to the extent that outstanding loans exceed the borrowing base. In lieu of a mandatory prepayment, the Loan Parties may deposit cash in an amount not to exceed 10% of the borrowing base into a designated U.S. bank account with the Agent that is subject to a control agreement (such cash, the "Qualified Cash"). If any such over-advance has not been cured within 60 days, the Qualified Cash may be applied, at the Agent’s option, to prepay the loans under the Asset-Based Term Facility. To the extent certain levels of availability are obtained during a certain period of time, the Borrowers can withdraw the Qualified Cash from such bank account. In addition, the Asset-Based Term Facility is subject to mandatory prepayments from the net proceeds from the incurrence by the Loan Parties of debt not permitted thereunder.

2018 Senior Line of Credit Facility
In June 2018, Products Corporation entered into a 2018 Senior Unsecured Line of Credit Agreement (the "2018 Senior Line of Credit Agreement") providing Products Corporation with a $50 million senior unsecured line of credit (the "2018 Senior Line of Credit Facility") from MacAndrews & Forbes Incorporated, Revlon’s majority stockholder. The 2018 Senior Line of Credit Facility allows Products Corporation to request loans thereunder and to use the proceeds of such loans for working capital and other general corporate purposes until the facility matures on December 31, 2018. As of September 30, 2018, there was $11 million of outstanding borrowings under this facility.
Any loans outstanding under the 2018 Senior Line of Credit Facility bear interest at an annual rate of 8%, which is payable quarterly in arrears in cash. Products Corporation may, at its option, prepay any borrowings under the 2018 Senior Line of Credit Facility, in whole or in part (together with accrued and unpaid interest), at any time prior to maturity, without premium or penalty.  Products Corporation is required to repay any outstanding loans under the 2018 Senior Line of Credit Facility, together with accrued interest thereon, if and to the extent that: (i) Products Corporation or any of its subsidiaries enters into a new financing agreement under which it or any of its subsidiaries is then able to draw; or (ii) for any reason Products Corporation or any of its subsidiaries has available unrestricted cash that Products Corporation determines, in its reasonable judgment, is not required to run their operations in the ordinary course of business, provided that such repayment under this clause (ii) would not result in material adverse tax consequences. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company had net repayments of $4 million under this facility.
The 2018 Senior Line of Credit Agreement includes customary events of default, including a cross default provision making it an event of default under the 2018 Senior Line of Credit Agreement if there exists and continues an event default under Products Corporation’s existing bank term loan and revolver credit agreements or the indentures for Products Corporation’s 5.75% Senior Notes or 6.25% Senior Notes. If any such event of default occurs, MacAndrews & Forbes Incorporated may declare all outstanding loans under the 2018 Senior Line of Credit Facility to be due and payable immediately.

Amendment to 2016 Revolving Credit Facility
In April 2018, Products Corporation entered into an amendment and restatement to the Original 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement with Citibank, N.A., acting as administrative agent, collateral agent, issuing lender, local fronting lender and swingline lender and the other issuing lenders (the "Revolver Amendment," and the Original 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement, as amended by the Revolver Amendment, the "2016 Revolving Credit Agreement," and together with the 2016 Term Loan Agreement being the "2016 Credit Agreements"). Pursuant to the Revolver Amendment, a new $41.5 million senior secured first in, last out tranche (the "Tranche B") was established under the 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement and the existing $400 million tranche under the Original 2016 Revolving Credit Facility (and as in effect after the Revolver Amendment, the "2016 Revolving Credit Facility," and together with the 2016 Term Loan Facility, being the "2016 Senior Credit Facilities") became a senior secured last in, first out tranche (the "Tranche A," and together with the Tranche B, the "Tranches").
The Revolver Amendment provided for the availability and repayment terms of each Tranche, as well as terms governing the payment priorities between the Tranches. Other amendments to the Original 2016 Revolving Credit Facility under the Revolver Amendment included: (i) a $15 million increase to the cap on amounts eligible for inclusion in the borrowing base relating to certain assets located in jurisdictions other than the U.S., Puerto Rico, Canada, and the U.K.; (ii) a reduction to the amount of additional debt generally permitted to be incurred; (iii) a reduction in the amount of incremental debt under 2016 Term Loan Agreement permitted to be incurred pursuant to the 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement; (iv) the removal of temporary increases to the borrowing base between August 15th and October 31st of each year; (v) an increase to threshold conditions in respect of the ability to make certain dividends and distributions on equity during the term of the Tranche B; and (vi) an amendment to the calculation of the financial covenant.
As a result of the Revolver Amendment, the borrowing base under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility was increased to approximately $385 million, compared to a borrowing base of approximately $350 million at March 31, 2018, and provided the Company with an additional $35 million of available borrowing capacity upon entering into the Revolver Amendment, which availability increased to $40.1 million and $41.5 million as of June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2018, respectively, which was fully drawn at each such date.
Following is an updated description of Products Corporation’s 2016 Senior Credit Facilities, after giving effect to the April 2018 Revolver Amendment:
2016 Senior Credit Facilities
In connection with and substantially concurrently with the closing of the Elizabeth Arden Acquisition, Products Corporation entered into: (i) the 7-year $1.8 billion 2016 Term Loan Facility (the "2016 Term Loan Facility" and such agreement being the "2016 Term Loan Agreement"); and (ii) the 5-year $400 million 2016 Revolving Credit Facility (the "Original 2016 Revolving Credit Facility" and such agreement being the "Original 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement"). Products Corporation also completed the issuance of $450 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.25% Senior Notes due 2024. The proceeds of Products Corporation's issuance of the 6.25% Senior Notes and the 2016 Term Loan Facility, together with approximately $35 million of borrowings under the Original 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and approximately $126.7 million of cash on hand, were used: (A) to fund the Elizabeth Arden Acquisition, including: (i) repurchasing the entire $350 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of the then-existing Elizabeth Arden Senior Notes (the "Elizabeth Arden Senior Notes"); (ii) repaying the entire $142 million aggregate principal amount of borrowings outstanding as of the Elizabeth Arden Acquisition Date under Elizabeth Arden’s $300 million revolving credit facility (which facility was terminated upon such repayment); (iii) repaying the entire $25 million aggregate principal amount of borrowings outstanding as of the Elizabeth Arden Acquisition Date under Elizabeth Arden's second lien credit facility (which facility was terminated upon such repayment); and (iv) retiring the entire $55 million liquidation preference of all 50,000 shares of Elizabeth Arden's then-issued and outstanding preferred stock (which amount included a $5 million change of control premium); and (B) to completely refinance and repay all of the $651.4 million in aggregate principal balance outstanding under Products Corporation’s then-existing 2011 Term Loan (the "2011 Term Loan") and all of the $658.6 million in aggregate principal balance outstanding under Products Corporation’s Old Acquisition Term Loan (each of which facilities were terminated upon such repayment) (together with the 2011 Term Loan, the "Old Term Loan Agreement" and the "Old Term Loan Facility," respectively). The Company did not incur any material early termination penalties in connection with repaying the Old Term Loan Facility or the Elizabeth Arden indebtedness and preferred stock.
2016 Term Loan Facility
Principal and Maturity: On the Elizabeth Arden Acquisition Date, Products Corporation entered into the 2016 Term Loan Agreement, for which Citibank, N.A. acts as administrative and collateral agent and which has an initial aggregate principal amount of $1.8 billion and matures on the earlier of: (x) September 7, 2023; and (y) the 91st day prior to the maturity of Products Corporation’s 5.75% Senior Notes if, on that date (and solely for so long as), (i) any of Products Corporation's 5.75% Senior Notes

16

REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)

remain outstanding and (ii) Products Corporation’s available liquidity does not exceed the aggregate principal amount of its then outstanding 5.75% Senior Notes by at least $200 million. The loans under the 2016 Term Loan Facility were borrowed at an original issue discount of 0.5% to their principal amount. The 2016 Term Loan Facility may be increased by an amount equal to the sum of (x) the greater of $450 million and 90% of Products Corporation’s pro forma consolidated EBITDA, plus (y) an unlimited amount to the extent that (1) the first lien leverage ratio (defined as the ratio of Products Corporation’s net senior secured funded debt that is not junior or subordinated to the liens of the Senior Facilities to EBITDA) is less than or equal to 3.5 to 1.0 (for debt secured pari passu with the 2016 Term Loan Facility) or (2) the secured leverage ratio (defined as the ratio of Products Corporation’s net senior secured funded debt to EBITDA) is less than or equal to 4.25 to 1.0 (for junior lien or unsecured debt), plus (z) up to an additional $400 million if the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility has been repaid and terminated.

Guarantees and Security: Products Corporation and the restricted subsidiaries under the 2016 Term Loan Facility, which include Products Corporation’s subsidiaries, including Elizabeth Arden and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Restricted Group"), are subject to the covenants under the 2016 Term Loan Agreement. The 2016 Term Loan Facility is guaranteed by each of Products Corporation's existing and future direct or indirect wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries (subject to various exceptions), certain foreign subsidiaries, as well as by Revlon, on a limited recourse basis. The obligations of Revlon, Products Corporation and the subsidiary guarantors under the 2016 Term Loan Facility are secured by pledges of the equity of Products Corporation held by Revlon and the equity of the Restricted Group held by Products Corporation and each subsidiary guarantor (subject to certain exceptions, including equity of first-tier foreign subsidiaries in excess of 65% of the voting equity interests of such entity) and by substantially all tangible and intangible personal and real property of Products Corporation and the subsidiary guarantors (subject to certain exclusions). The obligors and guarantors under the 2016 Term Loan Facility and the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility are identical. The liens securing the 2016 Term Loan Facility on the accounts, inventory, equipment, chattel paper, documents, instruments, deposit accounts, real estate and investment property and general intangibles (other than intellectual property) related thereto (the "Revolving Facility Collateral") rank second in priority to the liens thereon securing the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility. The liens securing the 2016 Term Loan Facility on all other property, including capital stock, intellectual property and certain other intangible property (the "Term Loan Collateral"), rank first in priority to the liens thereon securing the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, while the liens thereon securing the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility rank second in priority to the liens thereon securing the 2016 Term Loan Facility.

Interest and Fees: Interest accrues on term loans under the 2016 Term Loan Facility at a rate per annum of Adjusted LIBOR (which has a floor of 0.75%) plus a margin of 3.5% or an alternate base rate plus a margin of 2.5%, at Products Corporation’s option, and is payable quarterly, at a minimum. Products Corporation is obligated to pay certain fees and expenses in connection with the 2016 Term Loan Facility. 

Affirmative and Negative Covenants: The 2016 Term Loan Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit the Restricted Group’s ability to: (i) incur additional debt; (ii) incur liens; (iii) sell, transfer or dispose of assets; (iv) make investments; (v) make dividends and distributions on, or repurchases of, equity; (vi) make prepayments of contractually subordinated or junior lien debt; (vii) enter into certain transactions with their affiliates; (viii) enter into sale-leaseback transactions; (ix) change their lines of business; (x) restrict dividends from their subsidiaries or restrict liens; (xi) change their fiscal year; and (xii) modify the terms of certain debt. The negative covenants are subject to various exceptions, including an "available amount basket" based on 50% of Products Corporation’s cumulative consolidated net income, plus a "starter" basket of $200 million, subject to Products Corporation’s compliance with a 5.0 to 1.0 ratio of Products Corporation’s net debt to Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the 2016 Term Loan Agreement), except such compliance is not required when such baskets are used to make investments. While the 2016 Term Loan Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties and events of default, it does not contain any financial maintenance covenants.

Prepayments: The 2016 Term Loan Facility is subject to mandatory prepayments from: (i) the net proceeds from the issuance by Products Corporation or any of its restricted subsidiaries of certain additional debt; (ii) 50% of excess cash flow for fiscal years ending December 31st, with step-downs to 25% and 0% upon achievement of certain first lien leverage ratios and reduced by voluntary prepayments of loans under the 2016 Term Loan Facility and revolving loans under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility to the extent commitments thereunder are permanently reduced; and (iii) asset sale proceeds of certain non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions of property that have not been reinvested to the extent in excess of certain minimum amounts. Products Corporation may voluntarily prepay the 2016 Term Loan Facility without premium or penalty.
2016 Revolving Credit Facility
Principal and Maturity: On the Elizabeth Arden Acquisition Date, Products Corporation entered into the Original 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement, which was amended and restated on April 12, 2018 pursuant to the Revolver Amendment, and for which Citibank, N.A. acts as administrative agent and collateral agent. After giving effect to the Revolver Amendment, the 2016

(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)

Revolving Credit Facility has an aggregate maximum availability of $441.5 million (with a $100 million sublimit for letters of credit and up to $70 million available for swing line loans), which availability is subject to the amount of the borrowing base.  The 2016 Revolving Credit Facility may be increased by the greater of (x) $33.5 million and (y) the excess of the borrowing base over the amounts of then-effective commitments. The 2016 Revolving Credit Facility permits certain non-U.S. subsidiaries to borrow in local currencies. The borrowing base calculation in respect of the Tranche A under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility continues to be based on the sum of: (i) 85% of eligible accounts receivable; (ii) the lesser of 85% of the net orderly liquidation value and a percentage of the value specified in respect of different types of eligible inventory; (iii) the lesser of (A) the sum of (x) 75% of the net orderly liquidation value in respect of eligible equipment and (y) 75% of the mortgage value of eligible real property and (B) $40 million and (iv) qualified restricted cash (capped at $75 million), which are collectively subject to certain availability reserves set by the administrative agent. The borrowing base calculation in respect of the Tranche B under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility is based on the sum of: (i) 10% of eligible accounts receivable and (ii) the lesser of 10% of the net orderly liquidation value and a percentage of the value specified in respect of different types of eligible inventory, which are collectively subject to certain availability reserves set by the administrative agent. Tranche B under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility matures on April 17, 2019. Tranche A under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility continues to mature on the earlier of: (x) September 7, 2021; and (y) the 91st day prior to the maturity of Products Corporation’s 5.75% Senior Notes if, on that date (and solely for so long as), (i) any of Products Corporation’s 5.75% Senior Notes remain outstanding and (ii) Products Corporation’s available liquidity does not exceed the aggregate principal amount of its then outstanding 5.75% Senior Notes by at least $200 million.

Guarantees and Security: The Restricted Group under the 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement (which is the same as the Restricted Group under the 2016 Term Loan Agreement) is subject to the covenants under the 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement. The 2016 Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by each of Products Corporation's existing and future direct or indirect wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries (subject to various exceptions), certain foreign subsidiaries, as well as by Revlon on a limited recourse basis. The obligations of Revlon, Products Corporation and the subsidiary guarantors under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility are secured by pledges of the equity of Products Corporation held by Revlon and the equity of Products Corporation’s restricted subsidiaries held by Products Corporation and each subsidiary guarantor (subject to certain exceptions, including equity of first-tier foreign subsidiaries in excess of 65% of the voting equity interests of such entity) and by substantially all tangible and intangible personal and real property of Products Corporation and the subsidiary guarantors (subject to certain exclusions). The obligors and guarantors under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and the 2016 Term Loan Facility are identical. The liens on the 2016 Revolving Facility Collateral securing the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility rank first in priority to the liens thereon securing the 2016 Term Loan Facility, which rank second in priority on such collateral. The liens on the Term Loan Collateral securing the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility rank second in priority to the liens thereon securing the 2016 Term Loan Facility, which rank first in priority on such collateral.

Interest and Fees: Under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, interest is payable quarterly and accrues on borrowings under such facility at a rate per annum equal to either: (i) the alternate base rate plus an applicable margin equal to (A) in the case of the Tranche A, 0.25%, 0.50% or 0.75%, or (B) in the case of the Tranche B, 1.50%, 1.75% or 2.00%, in each case depending on the average excess availability (based on the borrowing base as most recently reported by Products Corporation to the administrative agent from time-to-time); or (ii) the Eurocurrency rate plus an applicable margin equal to (A) in the case of the Tranche A, 1.25%, 1.50% or 1.75%, or (B) in the case of the Tranche B, 2.50%, 2.75% or 3.00%, in each case depending on the average excess availability (based on the borrowing base as most recently reported by Products Corporation to the administrative agent from time-to-time), at Products Corporation’s option. The applicable margin decreases as the average excess availability under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility increases. 

Products Corporation is obligated to pay certain fees and expenses in connection with the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, including a commitment fee of 0.25% for any unused amounts under the Tranche A and 0.50% for any unused amounts under the Tranche B. Loans under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility may be prepaid without premium or penalty.

Affirmative and Negative Covenants: The 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants that are similar to those in the 2016 Term Loan Agreement, other than the "available amount basket" (as described above in the description of the 2016 Term Loan Facility); provided, however, under the 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement the Restricted Group will be able to incur unlimited additional junior secured debt and unsecured debt, make unlimited asset sales and dispositions, make unlimited investments and acquisitions, prepay junior debt and make unlimited restricted payments to the extent that certain "payment conditions" for asset-based credit facilities are satisfied. The 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties and events of default. If Products Corporation’s "Liquidity Amount" (defined in the 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement as the Borrowing Base (capped at 105% of the Revolving Commitment) less the sum of (x) the aggregate outstanding extensions of credit under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, and (y) any availability reserve in effect on such date) falls below the greater of $35 million and 10% of the maximum availability under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility (a "Liquidity Event Period"), then the Restricted Group will be required to maintain a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio

18

REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)

(the ratio of Products Corporation’s EBITDA minus capital expenditures to cash interest expense and scheduled principal payments under the 2016 Term Loan Agreement for such period) of a minimum of 1.0 to 1.0 until the first date after 20 consecutive business days for which the Liquidity Amount is equal to or greater than such threshold. If Products Corporation is in default under the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio under the 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement, Products Corporation may cure such default by Products Corporation and/or Revlon issuing certain equity securities and Products Corporation receiving capital contributions from Revlon, with such cash being deemed to increase EBITDA for the purpose of calculating the applicable ratio. Products Corporation may exercise this cure right no more than two times in any four-quarter period, and no more than five times in total during the term of the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility. As Products Corporation’s consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio at September 30, 2018 was less than 1.0 to 1.0, it was required to maintain availability under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility in an amount in excess of the $44.1 million Liquidity Amount at such date, as a result of which the Company had approximately $1.0 million in available borrowing capacity under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2018.

Prepayments: Products Corporation must prepay (i) Tranche A borrowings under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility to the extent that outstanding loans thereunder and letters of credit exceed the Tranche A availability and (ii) Tranche B borrowings under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility to the extent that outstanding loans thereunder exceed the Tranche B availability; provided that the Tranche A borrowings are required to be repaid prior to the repayment of the Tranche B borrowings. During a Liquidity Event Period, the administrative agent may apply amounts collected in controlled accounts for the repayment of loans under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility. The above descriptions of the terms of the 2016 Term Loan Facility and the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and the related security and collateral agreements are qualified in their entirety by reference to such agreements, which have been filed as exhibits to the Company's prior SEC filings.

Covenants

Products Corporation was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the 2016 Senior Credit Facilities and the 2018 Senior Line of Credit Facility as of September 30, 2018.

As Products Corporation’s consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio at September 30, 2018 was less than 1.0 to 1.0, it was required to maintain availability under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility in an amount in excess of the $44.1 million Liquidity Amount at such date, as a result of which the Company had of the $45.1 million of availability under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, approximately $1.0 million in available borrowing capacity under such facility as of September 30, 2018.

Products Corporation was in compliance with all applicable covenants under its Senior Notes Indentures as of September 30, 2018.

8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Assets and liabilities are required to be categorized into three levels of fair value based upon the assumptions used to value the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3, if applicable, generally would require significant management judgment. The three levels for categorizing the fair value measurement of assets and liabilities are as follows:
Level 1: Fair valuing the asset or liability using observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Letters of Credit

Products Corporation maintains standby and trade letters of credit for various corporate purposes under which Products Corporation is obligated, of which $10.1 million (including amounts available under credit agreements in effect at that time) were maintained as of both September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Included in these amounts are approximately $7.2 million and $7.3 million in standby letters of credit that support Products Corporation’s self-insurance programs as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The estimated liability under such programs is accrued by Products Corporation.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, primarily FX Contracts, to manage foreign currency exchange risk by reducing the effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on the Company’s net cash flows. Prior to its expiration in May 2018, the Company used interest rate hedging transactions to manage interest rate risk associated with Products Corporation’s variable-rate indebtedness. As of September 30, 2018, the accumulated deferred losses related to the 2013 Interest Rate Swap have been fully amortized into earnings. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
Foreign Currency Forward Exchange Contracts
The FX Contracts are entered into primarily to hedge the anticipated net cash flows resulting from inventory purchases and intercompany payments denominated in currencies other than the local currencies of the Company’s foreign and domestic operations and generally have maturities of less than one year. The Company did not enter into any FX contracts during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The U.S. Dollar notional amounts of the FX Contracts outstanding as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were nil and $147.1 million, respectively.
Interest Rate Swap Transaction
In November 2013, Products Corporation executed a forward-starting floating-to-fixed interest rate swap transaction (the "2013 Interest Rate Swap") that, at its inception, was based on a notional amount of $400 million in respect of indebtedness under Products Corporation’s 2013 bank term loan that was incurred in connection with completing the October 2013 acquisition of The Colomer Group (the "Old Acquisition Term Loan" and the "Colomer Acquisition," respectively). The 2013 Interest Rate Swap,

21

REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)

which initially had a floor of 1.00% that in December 2016 was amended to 0.75%, expired in May 2018. In connection with entering into the 2016 Term Loan Facility, the 2013 Interest Rate Swap was carried over to apply to a notional amount of $400 million in respect of indebtedness under such loan for the remaining balance of the term of such swap. The Company initially designated the 2013 Interest Rate Swap as a cash flow hedge of the variability of the forecasted 3-month LIBOR interest rate payments initially related to the $400 million notional amount under the Old Acquisition Term Loan over the 3-year term of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap (and subsequently to the $400 million notional amount under the 2016 Term Loan Facility). Under the terms of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap, Products Corporation received from the counterparty a floating interest rate based on the higher of the 3-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR or the floor percentage in effect, while paying a fixed interest rate payment to the counterparty equal to 2.0709% (which, with respect to the 2016 Term Loan Facility, effectively fixed the interest rate on such notional amount at 5.5709% through May 2018).
As a result of completely refinancing the Old Acquisition Term Loan with a portion of the proceeds from Product's Corporation's consummation of the 2016 Senior Credit Facilities and the issuance of its 6.25% Senior Notes in connection with consummating the Elizabeth Arden Acquisition, the critical terms of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap no longer matched the terms of the underlying debt under the 2016 Term Loan Facility. At the refinancing date, which was the same as the September 7, 2016 Elizabeth Arden Acquisition Date (the "De-designation Date"), the 2013 Interest Rate Swap was determined to no longer be highly effective and the Company discontinued hedge accounting for the 2013 Interest Rate Swap. Following the de-designation of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap, changes in fair value of such swap were accounted for as a component of other non-operating expenses. Accumulated deferred losses of $6.3 million, or $3.9 million net of tax, at the De-designation Date, that were previously recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, were fully amortized into earnings over the remaining term of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap, which expired in May 2018. See "Quantitative Information – Derivative Financial Instruments" below for additional information on the balance sheet balances related to this swap.
Credit Risk
Exposure to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by any of the counterparties to the Company's derivative instruments is limited to the gross fair value of these derivative instruments in asset positions, which totaled $0.1 million as of September 30, 2018 and $0.6 million as of December 31, 2017. The Company attempts to minimize exposure to credit risk by generally entering into derivative contracts with counterparties that have investment-grade credit ratings and are major financial institutions. The Company also periodically monitors any changes in the credit ratings of its counterparties. Given the current credit standing of the Company's counterparties to its derivative instruments, the Company believes that the risk of loss under these derivative instruments arising from any non-performance by any of the counterparties is remote.

(a) As a result of the Elizabeth Arden Acquisition, the Company recognized $0.8 million in curtailment gains related to a foreign non-qualified defined benefit plan of Elizabeth Arden for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
In both the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized net periodic benefit cost of $0.8 million as a result of slightly lower service costs and interest costs during the third quarter of 2018, offset by higher expected return on plan assets and lower amortization of actuarial loss during the third quarter of 2017.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized net periodic benefit cost of $2.0 million, compared to net periodic benefit cost of $1.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, primarily due to the curtailment gain recognized during the first nine months of 2017, partially offset by lower service costs and interest costs during the first nine months of 2018.

The Company expects that it will have net periodic benefit cost of approximately $2.7 million for its pension and other post-retirement benefit plans for all of 2018, compared with net periodic benefit cost of $1.5 million in 2017.
During the third quarter of 2018, $2.1 million and $0.2 million were contributed to the Company’s pension plans and other post-retirement benefit plans, respectively. During the first nine months of 2018, $5.5 million and $0.6 million were contributed to the Company’s pension plans and other post-retirement benefit plans, respectively.  During 2018, the Company expects to contribute approximately $10 million in the aggregate to its pension and other post-retirement benefit plans.
Relevant aspects of the qualified defined benefit pension plans, non-qualified pension plans and other post-retirement benefit plans sponsored by Products Corporation are disclosed in Note 14, "Pension and Post-Retirement Benefits," to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Revlon's 2017 Form 10-K.

11. INCOME TAXES
The Company's provision for income taxes represents federal, foreign, state and local income taxes. The Company's effective tax rate differs from the applicable federal statutory rate due to the effect of state and local income taxes, tax rates and income in foreign jurisdictions, foreign earnings taxable in the U.S., non-deductible expenses and other items. The Company’s tax provision changes quarterly based on various factors including, but not limited to, the geographical level and mix of earnings; enacted tax legislation; foreign, state and local income taxes; tax audit settlements and the interaction of various global tax strategies.
The Company recorded a benefit from income taxes of $38.7 million for the third quarter of 2018 and a benefit from income taxes of $10.8 million for the third quarter of 2017. The $27.9 million increase in the benefit from income taxes was primarily due to: (i) the increased loss from continuing operations before income taxes; (ii) the mix and level of earnings; and (iii) the net impact of changes resulting from the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "Tax Act"), including (a) the reduction of the U.S. federal income tax rate (which provided for less of a benefit on the Company’s year-to-date loss), (b) the U.S. tax on the Company’s foreign earnings under the GILTI provisions of the Tax Act (adjusted to account for new interpretive regulations issued by the IRS in the third quarter of 2018 (the "New IRS Regs")), (c) the limitation on interest deductions (which resulted in a deferred deduction on which the Company has a full valuation allowance) and (d) a reduced deduction for executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code ("Section 162(m)").
The Company recorded a benefit from income taxes of $43.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and a benefit from income taxes of $37.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The $5.3 million increase in the benefit from income taxes was primarily due to: (i) the increased loss from continuing operations; (ii) the mix and level of earnings; and (iii) the net impact of changes resulting from the enactment of the Tax Act, including (a) the reduction of the U.S. federal income tax rate (which provided for less of a benefit on the Company’s year-to-date loss), (b) the U.S. tax on the Company’s foreign earnings under the GILTI provisions of the Tax Act (adjusted to account for the New IRS Regs), (c) the limitation on interest deductions (which resulted in a deferred deduction on which the Company has a full valuation allowance), and (d) a reduced deduction for executive compensation under Section 162(m), partially offset by a reduction in the liability that had been established in prior periods pursuant to Accounting Principles Board 23, "Indefinite Reinvestment Assertion" ("APB 23").
The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was higher than the federal statutory rate of 21% as a result of nondeductible expenses for interest and executive compensation, as well as the U.S. taxation of the Company’s foreign earnings under the GILTI provisions of the Tax Act (adjusted to account for the New IRS Regs).
The Company's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was lower than the federal statutory rate of 21% as a result of nondeductible expenses for interest and executive compensation, as well as the U.S. taxation of the Company’s foreign earnings under the GILTI provision of the Tax Act (adjusted to account for the New IRS Regs), partially offset by the reduction in liability under APB 23.
In December 2017, with the enactment of the Tax Act, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax reform that made broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code that affected the Company by, among other things:
reducing the U.S. federal corporate tax rate;
requiring a one-time transition tax on certain unrepatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries;
imposing a new limitation on the deductibility of interest;
a general elimination of U.S. federal income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries;
a new provision designed to tax global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI");
increased limitations on the deductibility of certain executive compensation; and
changes to net operating loss carry-forward periods and annual utilization.
In accordance with the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act ("SAB 118"), which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act, the Company has recorded provisional adjustments in cases where the Company was able to make reasonable estimates of the effects of elements of the Tax Act for which its analysis is not yet complete. The Company has not recorded any adjustments for elements of the Tax Act for which the Company was not yet able to make reasonable estimates of the impact of those elements, and has continued accounting for such elements under ASC 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740"), on the basis of the tax laws in effect before the Tax Act, in accordance with the guidance provided by SAB 118.
As a result of the enactment of the Tax Act, in the year ended December 31, 2017 the Company reduced the carrying value of its federal deferred tax assets to reflect the reduction from 35% to 21% in the U.S. federal income tax rate. As a result, the Company recorded a one-time, non-cash charge of $47.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2017. No adjustment was made to this provisional amount during the first nine months of 2018. In addition, the Company estimated that it had a net deficit in its non-U.S. earnings subject to the transition tax as of the applicable measurement dates, so in the year ended December 31, 2017

25

REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)

the Company did not record a liability for the transition tax. No adjustment was made to this provisional amount during the first nine months of 2018.

While the Company continues to assess the impact on its financial statements of the following elements of the Tax Act, it did record a provisional amount for the impact of these items in the first nine months of 2018:
Limitation on the deductibility of interest: Starting in 2018, the Tax Act limits the Company's deduction for interest to:
interest income plus 30% of taxable income before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization for years through 2021; and
interest income plus 30% of taxable income before interest and taxes for years 2022 and thereafter.

While any reduction in deductible interest in any year can be carried forward indefinitely and added to the potential interest deduction in subsequent years, the Company has concluded that it is more likely than not that it will not be able to realize a benefit for this carry-forward interest deduction in future years, so it has established a full valuation allowance for the associated deferred tax asset.
GILTI: The Tax Act creates a new requirement that certain income earned by controlled foreign corporations ("CFC") must be included currently in the taxable income of the CFC's U.S. shareholder. GILTI is the excess of the shareholder’s "net CFC tested income" over the net deemed tangible income return, which is currently defined as the excess of: (1) 10% of the aggregate of the U.S. shareholder’s pro rata share of the qualified business asset investment of each CFC with respect to which it is a U.S. shareholder over (2) the amount of certain interest expense taken into account in the determination of net CFC-tested income. The Company became subject to the GILTI provisions beginning in 2018.
Because of the complexity of the new GILTI tax rules, the Company is continuing to evaluate this provision of the Tax Act and the application of ASC 740. Under U.S. GAAP, the Company is allowed to make an accounting policy choice of either: (1) treating taxes due on future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred (the "period cost method"); or (2) factoring such amounts into the Company’s measurement of its deferred taxes (the "deferred method"). The Company’s selection of an accounting policy with respect to the new GILTI tax rules will depend, in part, on analyzing the Company's global income to determine whether the Company expects to have future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI and, if so, what the impact is expected to be. For purposes of the provisional calculations through the first nine months of 2018, the Company has used the period cost method. The Company has adjusted its provisional calculation in the third quarter of 2018 to reflect the impact of the New IRS Regs. The Company will continue to assess the appropriateness of this method during the period allowed for under SAB 118.
Executive Compensation Limitation: The Tax Act expands the definition of covered employee under Section 162(m) and provides that the status as a covered employee continues for all subsequent tax years, including years after the death of the individual, and, among other modifications, repeals the exception for performance-based compensation and commissions from the $1 million deduction limitation, subject to certain transitional "grandfathering" provisions. The Tax Act's transitional guidance allows certain payments made under written and binding agreements entered into prior to November 2, 2017 to be treated as if they were made under the provisions of Section 162(m) that were in effect prior to enactment of the Tax Act. While the Company is in the process of gathering information on existing compensation arrangements for covered employees, as well as assessing the impact of transitional guidance on the realizability of existing deferred tax assets related to compensation arrangements of its covered employees, the tax provision for the first nine months of 2018 included a provisional estimate of the impact of Section 162(m), as adjusted in the Tax Act.
APB 23 Indefinite Reinvestment Assertion: The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of the Tax Act on its indefinite reinvestment assertion and any associated impact on its financial statements. Based on the analysis to date, the Company has concluded that a provisional adjustment can be made to reduce the liability that was established under APB 23 in prior periods. As the Company concludes its analysis, changes to this provisional adjustment may be appropriate.
Net Operating Loss Carry-forward rules: The Company had $519.3 million of federal net operating loss carry-forwards as of December 31, 2017. These carry-forwards have a life of up to 20 years and can be used to reduce the Company's federal taxable income to zero, potentially eliminating any federal income tax liability for the periods in which they are used. If the Company incurs federal net operating losses in 2018 or subsequent years, such losses would have an unlimited carry-forward period, but they would only be available to offset 80% of the Company's taxable income in any given year.
While the Company has calculated and recorded provisional adjustments for the above items, there are certain aspects of the Tax Act for which the Company's accounting is incomplete, and for which no provisional adjustments have been recorded. The provisional amounts included in tax expense and the associated balance sheet accounts (and related disclosures), as well as the amounts that have not been recorded, are subject to modification within the measurement period provided for in SAB 118.

Valuation Allowance: The Company continually evaluates the available positive and negative evidence to assess the amount of deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not to realize a benefit. For any deferred tax asset in excess of the amount for which it is more likely than not that the Company will realize a benefit, the Company establishes a valuation allowance. A valuation allowance is a non-cash charge, and it in no way limits the Company's ability to utilize its deferred tax assets, including its ability to utilize tax loss and credit carryforward amounts. As of the third quarter of 2018, the Company concluded that, based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it does not require a valuation allowance on its federal deferred tax assets, other than those associated with the limitation on the deductibility of interest (as described above). The Company does have a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets associated with its activity in certain U.S., state and foreign jurisdictions. These conclusions regarding the establishment of valuation allowances on the Company's deferred tax assets as of the third quarter of 2018 are consistent with the Company's conclusions on such matters as of the end of 2017. However, if the Company does not generate sufficient taxable income in future periods, its deferred tax assets may not be realizable on a more-likely-than-not basis. In such event, the Company may be required to establish an additional valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets in future periods, which would materially increase the Company's tax expense in the period in which the allowance is recognized and would adversely impact the Company's results of operations and statement of financial condition in such period. The Company will continue to monitor the circumstances that would require it to establish an additional valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets. Accordingly, depending on future evidence that may become available, the Company's assessments regarding its valuation allowance position may change.

(a) Amounts represent the change in accumulated other comprehensive loss as a result of the amortization of actuarial losses (gains) arising during each year related to the Company’s pension and other post-retirement plans. See Note 10, "Pension and Post-retirement Benefits," for further discussion of the Company’s pension and other post-retirement plans.
(b) Represents the after-tax effective portion of the changes in fair value of Products Corporation’s 2013 Interest Rate Swap, which expired in May 2018, net of amounts reclassified into earnings. See Note 13, "Financial Instruments" to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Revlon's 2017 Form 10-K for information regarding the 2013 Interest Rate Swap.
As shown above, other comprehensive income includes changes in the fair value of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap prior to the De-designation Date. As the 2013 Interest Rate Swap expired in May 2018 and had been fully amortized into earnings as of June 30, 2018, there was no activity related to the 2013 Interest Rate Swap for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

13. SEGMENT DATA AND RELATED INFORMATION
Operating Segments
Operating segments include components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (the Company's "Chief Executive Officer") in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing the Company's performance. As a result of the similarities in the procurement, manufacturing and distribution processes for the Company’s products, much of the information provided in the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and provided in the segment table below is similar to, or the same as, that reviewed on a regular basis by the Company's Chief Executive Officer. As noted in Note 1, "Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," effective January 1, 2018, the Company operates in four new brand-centric reporting segments, in line with its new organizational structure that is operated based on four global brand teams. As a result, segment financial data for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 has been recast from what was presented in previous filings and presented under the new organizational structure.
As of September 30, 2018, the Company’s operations continue to be organized into the following reportable segments:
Revlon - The Revlon segment is comprised of the Company's flagship Revlon brands. Revlon segment products are primarily marketed, distributed and sold in the mass retail channel, large volume retailers, chain drug and food stores, chemist shops, hypermarkets, general merchandise stores, e-commerce sites, television shopping, department stores, professional hair and nail salons, one-stop shopping beauty retailers, specialty cosmetic stores and perfumeries in the U.S. and internationally under brands such as Revlon in color cosmetics; Revlon ColorSilk and Revlon Professional in hair color; Revlon in beauty tools; and Revlon in nail color.
Elizabeth Arden - The Elizabeth Arden segment is comprised of the Company's Elizabeth Arden branded products. The Elizabeth Arden segment markets, distributes and sells fragrances, skin care and color cosmetics primarily to prestige retailers, department and specialty stores, perfumeries, boutiques, e-commerce sites, the mass retail channel, travel retailers and distributors, as well as direct sales to consumers via its Elizabeth Arden branded retail stores and ElizabethArden.com e-commerce business, in the U.S. and internationally, under brands such as Elizabeth Arden Ceramide, Prevage, Eight Hour, SUPERSTART, Visible Difference and Skin Illuminating in the Elizabeth Arden skin care brands; and Elizabeth Arden White Tea, Elizabeth Arden Red Door, Elizabeth Arden 5th Avenue and Elizabeth Arden Green Tea in Elizabeth Arden fragrances.
Portfolio - The Company’s Portfolio segment markets, distributes and sells a comprehensive line of premium, specialty and mass products primarily to the mass retail channel, hair and nail salons and professional salon distributors in the U.S. and internationally and large volume retailers, specialty and department stores under brands such as Almay and SinfulColors in color cosmetics; CND in nail polishes and nail enhancements, including CND Shellac and CND Vinylux nail polishes; Cutex nail care products; Pure Ice in nail polishes; American Crew in men’s grooming products; and Mitchum in anti-perspirant deodorants. The Portfolio segment also includes a multi-cultural hair care line consisting of Creme of Nature hair care products, which are sold in both professional salons and in large volume retailers and other retailers, primarily in the U.S.; and a body care line under the Natural Honey brand and hair color

line under the Llongueras brand (licensed from a third party) that are both sold in the mass retail channel, large volume retailers and other retailers, primarily in Spain.
Fragrances - The Fragrances segment includes the development, marketing and distribution of certain owned and licensed fragrances as well as the distribution of prestige fragrance brands owned by third parties. These products are typically sold to retailers in the U.S. and internationally, including prestige retailers, specialty stores, e-commerce sites, the mass retail channel, travel retailers and other international retailers. The owned and licensed fragrances include brands such as Juicy Couture, John Varvatos, All Saints, La Perla, Wildfox, Charlie, Curve, Elizabeth Taylor, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Shawn Mendes, Halston, Ed Hardy, Geoffrey Beene, Alfred Sung, Giorgio Beverly Hills, Lucky Brand, Paul Sebastian, White Shoulders and Jennifer Aniston.
The Company's management evaluates segment profit for each of the Company's reportable segments. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company allocates corporate expenses to each reportable segment to arrive at segment profit, as these expenses are now included in the internal measure of segment operating performance. The Company defines segment profit as income from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, gains/losses on foreign currency fluctuations, gains/losses on the early extinguishment of debt and miscellaneous expenses. Segment profit also excludes the impact of certain items that are not directly attributable to the reportable segments' underlying operating performance. Such items are shown below in the table reconciling segment profit to consolidated income from continuing operations before income taxes. The Company does not have any material inter-segment sales.
The accounting policies for each of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1, "Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies." The Company's assets and liabilities are managed centrally and are reported internally in the same manner as the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements; thus, no additional information regarding assets and liabilities of the Company’s reportable segments is produced for the Company's Chief Executive Officer or included in these Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

14. BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Shares used in basic (loss) earnings per share are computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Shares used in diluted (loss) earnings per share include the dilutive effect of unvested restricted stock under the Company’s Stock Plan and unvested restricted stock units under the long-term incentive program under the Company’s Stock Plan using the treasury stock method. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, diluted loss per share equals basic loss per share, as the assumed vesting of restricted stock and restricted stock units would have an anti-dilutive effect. As of September 30, 2018 and 2017, there were no outstanding stock options under the Company's Stock Plan. See Note 17, "Stock Compensation Plan," for information on certain restricted stock unit awards communicated to employees.

15. CONTINGENCIES
As previously disclosed, following the announcement of the execution of the Elizabeth Arden Merger Agreement, several putative shareholder class action lawsuits and a derivative lawsuit were filed challenging the Merger. In addition to the complaints filed on behalf of plaintiffs Parker, Christiansen, Ross and Stein on July 25, 2016, a lawsuit (Hutson v. Elizabeth Arden, Inc., et al., Case No. CACE-16-013566) (referred to as the "Hutson complaint") was filed in the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in and for

(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)

Broward County, Florida (the "Court") against Elizabeth Arden, the members of the board of directors of Elizabeth Arden, Revlon, Products Corporation and Acquisition Sub. In general, the Hutson complaint alleges that: (i) the members of Elizabeth Arden’s board of directors breached their fiduciary duties to Elizabeth Arden’s shareholders with respect to the Merger, by, among other things, approving the Merger pursuant to an unfair process and at an inadequate and unfair price; and (ii) Revlon, Products Corporation and Acquisition Sub aided and abetted the breaches of fiduciary duty by the members of Elizabeth Arden’s board of directors. The plaintiff seeks relief similar to that sought in the Parker case.
By Order dated August 4, 2016, all five cases were consolidated by the Court into a Consolidated Amended Class Action. Thereafter, on August 11, 2016, a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint was filed, seeking to enjoin defendants from consummating the Merger and/or from soliciting shareholder votes. To the extent that the Merger was consummated, the Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint seeks to rescind the Merger or recover rescissory or other compensatory damages, along with costs and fees. The grounds for relief set forth in the Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint in large part track those grounds as asserted in the five individual complaints, as previously disclosed. Class counsel advised that post-consummation of the Merger they were going to file a Second Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint. The Second Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint (which superseded the Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint) was ultimately filed on or about January 26, 2017. Like the Consolidated Amended Class Action complaint, the grounds for relief set forth in the Second Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint in large part track those grounds as asserted in the five individual complaints.
The defendants' motions to dismiss the Second Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint were filed on March 28, 2017. Plaintiffs' response was filed on June 6, 2017 and defendants' replies were filed on July 13, 2017. A hearing on the defendants' motion to dismiss was held on September 19, 2017 and on November 20, 2017, the defendants’ motion was granted and the case was dismissed, with leave to amend under limited circumstances. On December 8, 2017, plaintiffs filed a Third Amended Complaint, seeking relief on the same grounds sought in the First and Second Amended Complaints, but alleged as direct, as opposed to derivative, claims. On January 12, 2018, the defendants once again moved to dismiss. The motion was heard on March 29, 2018 and the parties await a decision. On August 14, 2018, the Court granted the motion and dismissed the Third Amended Complaint, with prejudice. On September 11, 2018, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal. The Company continues to believe these allegations are without merit and intends to continue to vigorously defend against them. Additional lawsuits arising out of or relating to the Merger Agreement or the Merger may be filed in the future.
The Company is involved in various other routine legal proceedings incidental to the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. However, in light of the uncertainties involved in legal proceedings generally, the ultimate outcome of a particular matter could be material to the Company’s operating results for a particular period depending on, among other things, the size of the loss or the nature of the liability imposed and the level of the Company’s income for that particular period.


16. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Reimbursement Agreements
Revlon, Products Corporation and MacAndrews & Forbes have entered into reimbursement agreements (the "Reimbursement Agreements") pursuant to which: (i) MacAndrews & Forbes is obligated to provide (directly or through its affiliates) certain professional and administrative services, including, without limitation, employees, to the Company, and to purchase services from third-party providers, such as insurance, legal, accounting and air transportation services, on behalf of the Company, to the extent requested by Products Corporation; and (ii) Products Corporation is obligated to provide certain professional and administrative services, including, without limitation, employees, to MacAndrews & Forbes and to purchase services from third-party providers, such as insurance, legal and accounting services, on behalf of MacAndrews & Forbes, to the extent requested by MacAndrews & Forbes, provided that in each case the performance of such services does not cause an unreasonable burden to MacAndrews & Forbes or Products Corporation, as the case may be.
The Company reimburses MacAndrews & Forbes for the allocable costs of the services that MacAndrews & Forbes purchases for or provides to the Company and for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that MacAndrews & Forbes incurs in connection with the provision of such services. MacAndrews & Forbes reimburses Products Corporation for the allocable costs of the services that Products Corporation purchases for or provides to MacAndrews & Forbes and for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Products Corporation in connection with the purchase or provision of such services. Each of the Company, on the one hand, and MacAndrews & Forbes, on the other, has agreed to indemnify the other party for losses arising out of the services provided by it under the Reimbursement Agreements, other than losses resulting from its willful misconduct or gross negligence.

33

REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)

The Reimbursement Agreements may be terminated by either party on 90 days' notice. The Company does not intend to request services under the Reimbursement Agreements unless their costs would be at least as favorable to the Company as could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.
The Company participates in MacAndrews & Forbes' directors and officers liability insurance program (the "D&O Insurance Program"), as well as its other insurance coverages, such as property damage, business interruption, liability and other coverages, which cover the Company, as well as MacAndrews & Forbes and its subsidiaries. The limits of coverage for certain of the policies are available on an aggregate basis for losses to any or all of the participating companies and their respective directors and officers. The Company reimburses MacAndrews & Forbes from time-to-time for their allocable portion of the premiums for such coverage or the Company pays the insurers directly, which premiums the Company believes are more favorable than the premiums that the Company would pay were it to secure stand-alone coverage. Any amounts paid by the Company directly to MacAndrews & Forbes in respect of premiums are included in the amounts paid under the Reimbursement Agreements.
The net activity related to services purchased under the Reimbursement Agreements during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was $0.4 million and $3.6 million, respectively. The purchases during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily included third party services purchased by MacAndrews & Forbes. The purchases during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily included partial payments made by the Company to MacAndrews & Forbes for premiums related to the Company's allocable portion of the 5-year renewal of the D&O Insurance Program for the period from January 31, 2017 through January 2020. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, a receivable balance of $0.4 million and a payable balance of $0.3 million, respectively, to MacAndrews & Forbes was included in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet for transactions subject to the Reimbursement Agreements.

2018 Senior Line of Credit Facility
See Note 7, "Long-term Debt," regarding the 2018 Senior Line of Credit Agreement between Products Corporation and MacAndrews & Forbes.

Other
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company engaged several companies in which MacAndrews & Forbes had a controlling interest to provide the Company with various ordinary course business services. These services included processing approximately $16.9 million and $24.4 million of coupon redemptions for the Company's retail customers for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, for which the Company paid fees of approximately $0.2 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, and other similar advertising, coupon redemption and raw material supply services, for which the Company paid fees aggregating to approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company believes that its engagement of each of these affiliates was on arm's length terms, taking into account each firm's expertise in its respective field, and that the fees paid were at least as favorable as those available from unaffiliated parties.


17. STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN
Revlon maintains the Fourth Amended and Restated Revlon, Inc. Stock Plan (the "Stock Plan"), which provides for awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted or unrestricted stock and restricted stock units ("RSUs") to eligible employees and directors of Revlon and its affiliates, including Products Corporation. An aggregate of 6,565,000 shares were reserved for issuance as Awards under the Stock Plan, of which there remained approximately 2.7 million shares available for grant as of September 30, 2018. In July 2014, the Stock Plan was amended to renew the Stock Plan for a 7-year renewal term expiring on April 14, 2021.

Long-Term Incentive Program

In September 2018, the Company modified its 2018 long-term incentive program ("LTIP"), granting 811,010 time-based and performance-based RSU awards (the "2018 RSUs"). Half of the 2018 RSUs are time-based RSUs that vest ratably over a 3-year service period, while the remaining half of the 2018 RSUs are performance-based RSUs that cliff-vest at the completion of the 3-year performance period.

In addition, the Company modified its 2017 LTIP design to align with the 2018 plan, granting a total of 325,894 time-based and performance-based RSUs (the "2017 RSUs" and together with the 2018 RSUs, the "RSUs"). Half of the 2017 RSUs are time-based RSUs that vest ratably over a 2-year service period, while the remaining half of the 2017 RSUs are performance-based RSUs that cliff-vest at the completion of the 2-year performance period.

18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Overview

Overview of the Business
Revlon, Inc. ("Revlon" and together with its subsidiaries, the "Company") conducts its business exclusively through its direct wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Revlon Consumer Products Corporation ("Products Corporation"), and its subsidiaries. Revlon is an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of MacAndrews & Forbes Incorporated (together with certain of its affiliates other than the Company, "MacAndrews & Forbes"), a corporation wholly-owned by Ronald O. Perelman.
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company operates in four new brand-centric reporting segments that are aligned with its new organizational structure based on four global brand teams: Revlon; Elizabeth Arden; Portfolio; and Fragrances. The Company manufactures, markets and sells an extensive array of beauty and personal care products worldwide, including color cosmetics; fragrances; skin care; hair color, hair care and hair treatments; beauty tools; men's grooming products; anti-perspirant deodorants; and other beauty care products.

Overview of Net Sales and Earnings Results
Consolidated net sales in the third quarter of 2018 were $655.4 million, a $11.1 million decrease, or 1.7%, as compared to $666.5 million in the third quarter of 2017. Excluding the $11.6 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations (referred to herein as "FX," "XFX" or on an "XFX basis"), consolidated net sales increased by $0.5 million, or 0.1%, during the third quarter of 2018. The XFX increase in the third quarter of 2018 was primarily due to: a $19.4 million, or 18.5%, increase in Elizabeth Arden segment net sales; partially offset by a $12.3 million, or 7.7%, decline in Fragrances segment net sales; and a $6.7 million, or 4.5%, decline in Portfolio segment net sales.
Consolidated net sales in the first nine months of 2018 were $1,822.9 million, a $84.2 million decrease, or 4.4%, compared to $1,907.1 million in the first nine months of 2017. Excluding the $16.6 million favorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations, consolidated net sales decreased by $100.8 million, or 5.3%, during the first nine months of 2018. The XFX decrease in the first nine months of 2018 was due to: a $56.3 million, or 7.1%, decline in Revlon segment net sales; a $50.6 million, or 13.3%, decline in Fragrances segment net sales; and a $20.1 million, or 4.6%, decline in Portfolio segment net sales; partially offset by a $26.2 million, or 8.7%, increase in Elizabeth Arden segment net sales.
Consolidated loss from continuing operations, net of taxes, in the third quarter of 2018 was $10.7 million, compared to consolidated loss from continuing operations, net of taxes, of $32.8 million in the third quarter of 2017. The $22.1 million decrease in consolidated loss from continuing operations, net of taxes, in the third quarter of 2018 was primarily due to:
a $27.9 million increase in the benefit from income taxes, primarily due to: (i) increased loss from continuing operations; (ii) the mix and level of earnings; and (iii) the net impact of changes resulting from the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”), including (a) the reduction of the U.S. federal income tax rate (which provided for less of a benefit on the Company’s year-to-date loss), (b) the U.S. tax on the Company’s foreign earnings under the GILTI provisions of the Tax Act (adjusted to account for new interpretive regulations issued by the IRS in the third quarter of 2018 (the "New IRS Regs")), (c) the limitation on interest deductions (which resulted in a deferred deduction on which the Company has a full valuation allowance) and (d) a reduced deduction for executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code ("Section 162(m)");
$21.5 million of lower selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses, primarily driven by lower brand support expenses driven by the re-phasing of certain marketing initiatives, lower general and administrative expenses and favorable foreign currency translation, partially offset by higher costs related to product displays, higher severance due to changes in senior executive management and higher distribution costs due to geographic mix; and
a $9.3 million decline in acquisition and integration costs;
with the foregoing partially offset by:
$25.6 million of lower gross profit, primarily due to higher cost of sales as a result of increased manufacturing costs and obsolescence;
a $7.8 million increase in interest expense, primarily due to higher average interest rates and higher debt balances resulting from the Asset-Based Term Facility, as defined herein, entered into during the third quarter of 2018, as well as higher borrowings under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility; and

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)



$4.2 million of unfavorable variance in foreign currency, resulting from $1.1 million in foreign currency losses during the third quarter of 2018, as compared to $3.1 million of foreign currency gains during the third quarter of 2017.

Consolidated loss from continuing operations, net of taxes, in the first nine months of 2018 was $223.8 million, compared to consolidated loss from continuing operations, net of taxes, of $107.6 million in the first nine months of 2017. The $116.2 million increase in consolidated loss from continuing operations, net of taxes, in the first nine months of 2018 was primarily due to:
$67.0 million of lower gross profit, primarily due to lower net sales;
$27.5 million of unfavorable variance in foreign currency, resulting from $10.7 million in foreign currency losses during the first nine months of 2018, compared to $16.8 million in foreign currency gains during the first nine months of 2017;
a $20.1 million loss, of which $18.6 million was non-cash, related to the write-off of the Company’s minority investment in a licensee after agreeing to wind-down the contract and revert the trademark rights to the Company following a brief transition period;
a $18.8 million increase in interest expense, primarily due to higher average interest rates and higher debt balances resulting from the Asset-Based Term Facility entered into during the third quarter of 2018, as well as higher borrowings under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility; and
$12.6 million of higher SG&A expenses, primarily driven by unfavorable currency translation, higher costs related to product displays, higher severance due to changes in senior executive management and higher distribution costs due to geographic mix, partially offset by lower brand support expenses, lower recurring expenses and lower incentive compensation;
with the foregoing partially offset by:
a $28.2 million decrease in acquisition and integration costs; and
a $5.3 million increase in the benefit from income taxes, primarily due to: (i) increased loss from continuing operations; (ii) the mix and level of earnings; and (iii) the net impact of changes resulting from the enactment of the Tax Act, including (a) the reduction of the U.S. federal income tax rate (which provided for less of a benefit on the Company’s year-to-date loss), (b) the U.S. tax on the Company’s foreign earnings under the GILTI provisions of the Tax Act (adjusted to account for the New IRS Regs), (c) the limitation on interest deductions (which resulted in a deferred deduction on which the Company has a full valuation allowance) and (d) a reduced deduction for executive compensation under Section 162(m), partially offset by a reduction in the liability that had been established in prior periods pursuant to Accounting Principles Board 23, "Indefinite Reinvestment Assertion" ("APB 23").

Net sales in the first nine months of 2018 were negatively impacted by service level disruptions that occurred at the Company's Oxford, N.C. manufacturing facility resulting from the launch of a new SAP enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system, as previously disclosed in the Revlon’s 2017 Form 10-K. This launch impacted the Company's ability to manufacture certain quantities of finished goods and fulfill shipments to retail customers in the U.S. and internationally and is estimated to have resulted in approximately $50 million of incremental charges incurred in the first nine months of 2018, mainly related to actions that the Company has implemented to remediate the decline in customer service levels. As of September 30, 2018, the Oxford, N.C. manufacturing facility was operating at pre-SAP levels and the Company was continuing to re-fill inventories across its retail partners, particularly internationally.

Recent Developments

Foreign Asset-Based Term Loan Credit Agreement
In July 2018, several subsidiaries of Products Corporation entered into an Asset-Based Term Loan Credit Agreement ("Asset-Based Term Facility" and the "Asset-Based Term Agreement," respectively) with Citibank, N.A., acting as administrative agent and collateral agent (the "Agent"). The Asset-Based Term Facility provided the Company with a euro-denominated senior secured asset-based term loan in an aggregate principal amount of €77 million. The Asset-Based Term Agreement requires the maintenance of a borrowing base, calculated based on the sum of: (i) 85% of eligible accounts receivable; and (ii) 90% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory, in each case with respect to certain of Products Corporation’s subsidiaries organized in Australia, Bermuda, Germany, Italy, Spain and Switzerland. To the extent that loans outstanding under the Asset-Based Term Facility exceed the borrowing base, the borrowers must prepay loans, subject to certain conditions. See Note 7, "Long Term Debt" for additional information regarding the Asset-Based Term Facility.

Classification of Argentina's Economy as Highly Inflationary
In May 2018, the International Practices Task Force of the Center for Audit Quality issued a discussion document reporting that Argentina's 3-year cumulative inflation rate exceeded 100%. As a result, Argentina was considered highly inflationary in accordance with U.S. GAAP by no later than June 30, 2018. Consequently, the Company began to account for the operations of its Argentinian affiliate as highly inflationary and treat the U.S. dollar as the functional currency of this affiliate, effective July 1, 2018. This change in functional currency did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and/or financial statement disclosures for the period ended September 30, 2018.

2018 Senior Line of Credit Facility
In June 2018, Products Corporation entered into a 2018 Senior Unsecured Line of Credit Agreement (the "2018 Senior Line of Credit Agreement") providing Products Corporation with a $50 million senior unsecured line of credit facility (the "2018 Senior Line of Credit Facility") from MacAndrews & Forbes Incorporated, Revlon’s majority stockholder. The 2018 Senior Line of Credit Facility allows Products Corporation to request loans thereunder and to use the proceeds of such loans for working capital and other general corporate purposes until the facility matures on December 31, 2018. See Note 7, "Long Term Debt" for additional information regarding the 2018 Senior Line of Credit Facility.

April 2018 Amendment to 2016 Revolving Credit Facility
In April 2018, Products Corporation entered into an amendment and restatement to the Original 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement with Citibank, N.A., acting as administrative agent, collateral agent, issuing lender, local fronting lender and swingline lender and the other issuing lenders (the "Revolver Amendment," and the Original 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement, as amended by the Revolver Amendment, the "2016 Revolving Credit Agreement," and together with the 2016 Term Loan Agreement being the "2016 Credit Agreements"). Pursuant to the Revolver Amendment, a new $41.5 million senior secured first in, last out tranche (the "Tranche B") was established under the 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement and the existing $400 million tranche under the Original 2016 Revolving Credit Facility (and as in effect after the Revolver Amendment, the "2016 Revolving Credit Facility," and together with the 2016 Term Loan Facility, being the "2016 Senior Credit Facilities") became a senior secured last in, first out tranche (the "Tranche A," and together with the Tranche B, the "Tranches"). As a result of the Revolver Amendment, the borrowing base under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility was increased to approximately $385 million. See Note 7, "Long Term Debt" for additional information regarding the Revolver Amendment, as well as an updated description of Product Corporation's 2016 Senior Credit Facilities, after giving effect to the Revolver Amendment.

Segment Results:
The Company's management evaluates segment profit for each of the Company's reportable segments. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company allocates corporate expenses to each reportable segment to arrive at segment profit, as these expenses are now included in the internal measure of segment operating performance. The Company defines segment profit as income from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, gains/losses on foreign currency fluctuations, gains/losses on the early extinguishment of debt and miscellaneous expenses. Segment profit also excludes the impact of certain items that are not directly attributable to the segments' underlying operating performance. The Company does not have any material inter-segment sales. For a reconciliation of segment profit to income from continuing operations before income taxes, see Note 13, "Segment Data and Related Information," to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

Third quarter results:
Revlon segment net sales in the third quarter of 2018 were $249.5 million, a $5.0 million, or 2.0%, decrease, compared to $254.5 million in the third quarter of 2017. Excluding the $5.1 million unfavorable FX impact, total Revlon segment net sales were flat compared to the third quarter of 2017, as lower net sales of Revlon color cosmetics, primarily internationally due to the Oxford, N.C. service level disruptions, were offset by higher net sales of the brand in North America, as retailers replenish inventory levels.
Revlon segment profit in the third quarter of 2018 was $36.8 million, a $14.4 million, or 64.3%, increase, compared to $22.4 million in the third quarter of 2017. Excluding the $0.8 million unfavorable FX impact, Revlon segment profit in the third quarter of 2018 increased by $15.2 million, compared to the third quarter of 2017.

Excluding the $5.4 million favorable FX impact, total Revlon segment net sales in the first nine months of 2018 decreased by $56.3 million, or 7.1%, compared to the first nine months of 2017.

Excluding the $2.1 million unfavorable FX impact, total Elizabeth Arden net sales in the third quarter of 2018 increased by $19.4 million, or 18.5%, compared to the third quarter of 2017.

Excluding the $2.8 million unfavorable FX impact, total Portfolio segment net sales in the third quarter of 2018 decreased by $6.7 million, or 4.5%, compared to the third quarter of 2017. This decrease was driven primarily by the segment's lower net sales of local and regional brands, partially offset by higher net sales of Almay color cosmetics, primarily due to inventory replenishment by retailers, as well as higher net sales of CND nail products as a result of Shellac nail polish innovation, primarily in North America.
Portfolio segment profit in the third quarter of 2018 was $2.1 million, a $5.6 million decrease compared to $7.7 million of Portfolio segment profit in the third quarter of 2017. This decrease was primarily driven by the segment's lower net sales, partially offset by lower brand support expenses.

Excluding the $2.7 million favorable FX impact, total Portfolio segment net sales in the first nine months of 2018 decreased by $20.1 million, or 4.6%, compared to the first nine months of 2017.

The $27.9 million increase in the Company's benefit from income taxes in the third quarter of 2018, as compared to the third quarter of 2017, was primarily due: (i) to the increased loss from continuing operations before income taxes; (ii) the mix and level of earnings; and (iii) the net changes resulting from the enactment of the Tax Act, including (a) the reduction of the U.S. federal income tax rate (which provided for less of a benefit on the Company’s year-to-date loss), (b) the U.S. tax on the Company’s foreign earnings under the GILTI provisions of the Tax Act (adjusted to account for the New IRS Regs), (c) the limitation on interest deductions (which resulted in a deferred deduction on which the Company has a full valuation allowance), and (d) a reduced deduction for executive compensation under Section 162(m).
The $5.3 million increase in the Company's benefit from income taxes in the first nine months of 2018, as compared to the first nine months of 2017, was primarily due: (i) to the increased loss from continuing operations before income taxes; (ii) the mix and level of earnings; and (iii) the net changes resulting from the Tax Act, including (a) the reduction of the U.S. federal income tax rate (which provided for less of a tax benefit on the Company's year-to-date loss), (b) the U.S. tax on the Company's foreign earnings under the GILTI provisions of the Tax Act (adjusted to account for the New IRS Regs), (c) the limitation on interest deductions (which resulted in a deferred deduction on which the Company has a full valuation allowance), and (d) a reduced deduction for executive compensation under Section 162(m), partially offset by the impact of reducing the Company's liability under APB 23.
The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was higher than the federal statutory rate of 21% as a result of nondeductible expenses for interest and executive compensation, as well as the U.S. taxation of the Company's foreign earnings under the GILTI provisions of the Tax Act (adjusted to account for the New IRS Regs). See Note 11, "Income Taxes," for a further discussion of the impact of the Tax Act on the Company's provision for income taxes.
The Company's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was lower than the federal statutory rate of 21% as a result of nondeductible expenses for interest and executive compensation, as well as the U.S. taxation of the Company's foreign earnings under the GILTI provisions of the Tax Act (adjusted to account for the New IRS Regs), partially offset by the impact of reducing the Company's liability under APB 23. See Note 11, "Income Taxes," for a further discussion of the impact of the Tax Act on the Company's provision for income taxes.
The Company expects that its tax provision and effective tax rate in any individual quarter and year-to-date period will vary and may not be indicative of the Company's tax provision and effective tax rate for the full year.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)



Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2018, the Company had a liquidity position of $87.1 million, consisting of: (i) $61.8 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents; (ii) $39 million in available borrowing capacity under the 2018 Senior Line of Credit Facility, which had $11 million outstanding at such date; (iii) $1 million in available borrowing capacity under Products Corporation's 2016 Revolving Credit Facility; and less (iv) $14.7 million of outstanding checks. Under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, as Products Corporation’s consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio at September 30, 2018 was less than 1.0 to 1.0, it was required to maintain a $44.1 million Liquidity Amount (as defined in Note 7, "Long-Term Debt") at such date. Solely for the purposes of calculating the Liquidity Amount, the borrowing base can exceed the Revolving Commitments subject to a cap of 105% of the Commitments. Since the borrowing base at September 30, 2018 exceeded the aforementioned cap, the $1.0 million of available borrowing capacity was calculated based on the borrowing base of $463.5 million, less $10.1 million of outstanding and undrawn letters of credit, less $408.3 million of borrowings under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility at such date; and less maintenance of $44.1 million Liquidity Amount.
In April 2018, Products Corporation amended the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility (the "Revolver Amendment"), as a result of which the borrowing base under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility was increased to approximately $385 million. In June 2018, Products Corporation obtained the $50 million 2018 Senior Line of Credit Facility from MacAndrews & Forbes Incorporated. In July 2018, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries entered into the Asset-Based Term Agreement with Citibank, N.A., acting as administrative agent and collateral agent, which provides the Company with a euro-denominated senior secured asset-based term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of €77 million, which was fully drawn on the closing date. See Note 7, "Long Term Debt" for information regarding the April 2018 Revolver Amendment to the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, the 2018 Senior Line of Credit Facility and the Asset-Based Term Agreement.
The Company's available liquidity as of October 31, 2018 was approximately $113 million, consisting of: (i) $67 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents; (ii) $40 million in available borrowing capacity under the 2018 Senior Line of Credit Facility (which had $10 million drawn as of such date); (iii) $12 million in available borrowing capacity under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility (which had $397.3 million drawn at such date); and less (iv) $6 million of outstanding checks. The Company has continued to repatriate cash to the U.S. using tax-effective methods as part of continuing to effectively manage its working capital needs.
The Company’s foreign operations held $52.6 million out of its total $61.8 million in cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2018. The cash held by the Company’s foreign operations is primarily used to fund such operations. The Company regularly assesses its cash needs and the available sources of cash to fund these needs. As part of this assessment, the Company determines the amount of foreign earnings, if any, that it intends to repatriate to help fund its domestic cash needs, including for the Company’s debt service obligations, and pays applicable U.S. income and foreign withholding taxes, if any, on such earnings to the extent repatriated, and otherwise records a tax liability for the estimated cost of repatriation in a future period. During 2018, the Company has continued to repatriate funds to the U.S. through the settlement of historical loans and payables due from certain foreign subsidiaries. The Company believes that the cash generated by its domestic operations, cash on hand (including, without limitation, cash provided by the Asset-Based Term Facility), availability under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, the 2018 Senior Line of Credit Facility and other permitted lines of credit, as well as the option to further settle intercompany loans and payables with certain foreign subsidiaries, should be sufficient to meet its domestic liquidity needs for at least the next 12 months. Therefore, the Company currently anticipates that restrictions and/or taxes on repatriation of foreign earnings will not have a material effect on the Company’s liquidity during such period.
In December 2017, the U.S. government enacted the Tax Act, which made broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, including a one-time transition tax on certain non-U.S. earnings, the current U.S. taxation of certain foreign earnings in 2018 and following years and limitations on tax deductions for interest expense in 2018 and following years. The Company currently expects that it will not have a transition tax liability due to its deficit in foreign earnings as of the applicable measurement dates, and that the limitation on interest deductibility will not impact the Company's 2018 federal cash taxes due to its net operating loss carryover position. As a result, the Company currently expects that the Tax Act will not have a material impact on its cash taxes or liquidity in 2018. See Note 11, "Income Taxes" in this Form 10-Q, as well as Note 16, "Income Taxes," to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Item 1A. Risk Factors - "U.S. income tax reform efforts could have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows" in Revlon's 2017 Form 10-K for a further discussion.

Changes in Cash Flows
As of September 30, 2018, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $62.5 million, compared with $87.4 million at December 31, 2017. The following table summarizes the Company’s cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the periods presented:

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $296.7 million and $274.2 million for the first nine months of 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase in cash used in the first nine months of 2018, compared to the first nine months of 2017, was primarily driven by a higher net loss as a result of lower net sales, partially offset by favorable working capital changes compared to the prior year period.

Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $41.6 million and $69.5 million for the first nine months of 2018 and 2017, respectively, which was entirely comprised of capital expenditures. Capital expenditures in the first nine months of 2018 included approximately $11.2 million for Elizabeth Arden integration-related investments.

Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $316.6 million and $226.7 million for the first nine months of 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the first nine months of 2018 primarily included:
$251.3 million of borrowings under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility; and
$89.4 million of borrowings under the Asset-Based Term Facility;
with the foregoing partially offset by:
$13.5 million of repayments under the 2016 Term Loan Facility.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the first nine months of 2017 primarily included:
$243.9 million of borrowings under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility;
with the foregoing partially offset by:
$13.5 million of repayments under the 2016 Term Loan Facility.

(a) Availability at September 30, 2018 is based upon the calculated borrowing base (capped at 105% of the respective Revolving Commitments) of $463.5 million, less $10.1 million of outstanding undrawn letters of credit and $408.3 million then drawn. As Products Corporation’s consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio at September 30, 2018 was less than 1.0 to 1.0, it was required to maintain availability under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility in an amount in excess of the $44.1 million Liquidity Amount at such date, as a result of which the Company had of the $45.1 million of availability under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, approximately $1.0 million in available borrowing capacity under such facility as of September 30, 2018.

Products Corporation was in compliance with all applicable covenants under its Senior Notes Indentures as of September 30, 2018, with there being $500 million and $450 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding under the 5.75% Senior Notes and 6.25% Senior Notes, respectively, as of September 30, 2018. As Products Corporation’s consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio at September 30, 2018 was less than 1.0 to 1.0, it was required to maintain availability under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility in an amount in excess of the $44.1 million Liquidity Amount at such date, as a result of which the Company had approximately $1.0 million in available borrowing capacity under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2018.

Sources and Uses
The Company’s principal sources of funds are expected to be operating revenues, cash on hand and funds that may be available from time to time for borrowing under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, the 2018 Senior Line of Credit Facility and other permitted lines of credit. The 2016 Credit Agreements, the Senior Notes Indentures and the Asset-Based Term Agreement contain certain provisions that by their terms limit Products Corporation's 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 payments in connection with the Company's synergy and integration programs related to the Elizabeth Arden Acquisition (including, without limitation, for the EA Integration Restructuring Program); purchases of permanent wall displays; capital expenditure requirements; debt service payments and costs; cash tax payments; pension and other post-retirement benefit plan contributions; payments in connection with the Company’s restructuring programs; severance not otherwise included in the Company’s restructuring programs; business and/or brand acquisitions (including, without limitation, through licensing transactions), if any; debt and/or equity repurchases, if any; costs related to litigation; and payments in connection with discontinuing non-core business lines and/or exiting and/or entering certain territories and/or channels of trade.
The Company’s cash contributions to its pension and post-retirement benefit plans in the first nine months of 2018 were $6.1 million. The Company expects that cash contributions to its pension and post-retirement benefit plans will be approximately $10 million in the aggregate for 2018. The Company’s cash taxes paid in the first nine months of 2018 were $11.7 million. The Company expects to pay cash taxes of approximately $15 million to $20 million in the aggregate during 2018. In December 2017, the U.S. government enacted the Tax Act, which made broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, including a one-time transition tax on certain non-U.S. earnings, the current U.S. taxation of certain foreign earnings in 2018 and following years, and limitations on tax deductions for interest expense in 2018 and following years. The Company currently expects that it will not have a transition tax liability due to its deficit in foreign earnings as of the applicable measurement dates, and that the limitation on interest deductibility will not impact the Company's 2018 federal cash taxes due to its net operating loss carryover position. As a result, the Company currently expects that the Tax Act will not have a material impact on its cash taxes or liquidity in 2018. See Note 11, "Income Taxes" in this Form 10-Q, as well as Note 16, "Income Taxes," to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Item 1A. Risk Factors - "U.S. income tax reform efforts could have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows" in Revlon's 2017 Form 10-K for a further discussion.
The Company’s purchases of permanent wall displays and capital expenditures in the first nine months of 2018 were $57 million and $41.6 million, respectively. Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2018 included approximately $11.2 million of spend for the EA Integration Restructuring Program. The Company expects that purchases of permanent wall displays will be approximately $60 million to $70 million during 2018 and expects that capital expenditures will be approximately $60 million to $70 million during 2018.
The Company has undertaken, and continues to assess, refine and implement, a number of programs to efficiently manage its working capital, including, among other things, initiatives intended to optimize inventory levels over time; centralized procurement to secure discounts and efficiencies; prudent management of trade receivables and accounts payable; and controls on general and administrative spending. In the ordinary course of business, the Company’s source or use of cash from operating activities may vary on a quarterly basis as a result of a number of factors, including the timing of working capital flows.
During February 2018, the Company launched its new ERP system in the U.S., which caused its Oxford, N.C. manufacturing facility to experience service level disruptions that had impacted the Company’s ability to manufacture certain quantities of finished goods and fulfill shipments to retail customers in the U.S. In response, the Company implemented a robust service recovery plan to remediate the decline in customer service levels resulting from the launch of the new ERP system. As of September 30, 2018, the Oxford, N.C. manufacturing facility was operating at pre-SAP levels and the Company was continuing to re-fill inventories across its retail partners, particularly internationally.
The Company continues to believe that its current sources of liquidity, consisting of operating revenues, cash on hand (including, without limitation, cash provided by the Asset-Based Term Facility) and funds that may be available from time to time for borrowing under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, the 2018 Senior Line of Credit and other permitted lines of credit, are sufficient. See Note 7, "Long Term Debt" for information regarding the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, the 2018 Senior Line of Credit Facility, the April 2018 Revolver Amendment to the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and the Asset-Based Term Facility. See also Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in Revlon's 2017 Form 10-K for further discussion regarding the Company’s implementation of its new ERP system and those related to the Company’s substantial indebtedness.
Continuing to execute the Company’s business initiatives 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 (including, without limitation, through licensing transactions), divesting or discontinuing non-core business lines (which may include exiting certain territories), further refining the Company’s approach to retail merchandising and/or taking further actions to optimize its manufacturing, sourcing and organizational size and structure, including optimizing the Elizabeth Arden Acquisition. Any of these actions, the intended purpose of which would be to create value through improving the Company's financial performance, could result in the Company making investments and/or recognizing charges related to executing against such opportunities. Any such activities may be funded with operating revenues, cash on hand (including, without limitation, cash provided by the Asset-Based Term Facility), funds that may be available from time to time under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, the 2018 Senior Line of Credit, other permitted lines of credit and/or other permitted additional sources of capital, which actions could increase the Company’s total debt.
The Company may also, from time-to-time, seek to retire or purchase its outstanding debt obligations and/or equity in open market purchases, block trades, privately negotiated purchase transactions or otherwise and may seek to refinance some or all of its indebtedness based upon market conditions. Any such retirement or purchase of debt and/or equity may be funded with operating cash flows of the business or other sources and will depend upon prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors, and the amounts involved may be material.
The Company expects that operating revenues, cash on hand (including, without limitation, cash provided by the Asset-Based Term Facility) and funds that may be available from time-to-time for borrowing under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, the 2018 Senior Line of Credit and other permitted lines of credit will be sufficient to enable the Company to pay its operating expenses for 2018, including payments in connection with the Company's synergy and integration programs related to the Elizabeth Arden Acquisition, purchases of permanent wall displays, capital expenditures, debt service payments and costs, cash tax payments, pension and other post-retirement plan contributions, payments in connection with the Company’s restructuring programs, severance not otherwise included in the Company’s restructuring programs, business and/or brand acquisitions (including, without limitation, through licensing transactions), if any, debt and/or equity repurchases, if any, costs related to litigation, discontinuing non-core business lines and/or entering and/or exiting certain territories and/or channels of trade.
There can be no assurance that available funds will be sufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements on a consolidated basis, as, among other things, the Company’s liquidity can be impacted by a number of factors, including its level of sales, costs and expenditures, as well as accounts receivable and inventory, which serve as the principal variables impacting the amount of liquidity available under Products Corporation’s 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and the Asset-Based Term Facility. For example, subject to certain exceptions, loans under the Asset-Based Term Facility must be prepaid to the extent that outstanding loans exceed the borrowing base, consisting of accounts receivable and inventory.
If the Company’s anticipated level of revenues is not achieved because of, among other things, decreased consumer spending in response to weak economic conditions or weakness in the consumption of beauty care products in one or more of the Company's segments; adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates, foreign currency controls and/or government-mandated pricing controls; decreased sales of the Company’s products as a result of increased competitive activities by the Company’s competitors and/or decreased performance by third-party suppliers, whether due to shortages of raw materials or otherwise; changes in consumer purchasing habits, including with respect to retailer preferences and/or sales channels, such as due to the consumption declines in core beauty categories in the mass retail channel in North America, which continues to have a negative impact on net sales of Revlon color cosmetics, Almay color cosmetics, SinfulColors color cosmetics and Mitchum anti-perspirant deodorant products; inventory management by the Company's customers; space reconfigurations or reductions in display space by the Company's customers; retail store closures in the brick-and-mortar channels where the Company sells its products, as consumers continue to shift purchases to online and e-commerce channels; changes in pricing, marketing, advertising and/or promotional strategies by the Company's customers; or less than anticipated results from the Company’s existing or new products or from its advertising, promotional, pricing and/or marketing plans; or if the Company’s expenses, including, without limitation, for synergy and integration programs related to the Elizabeth Arden Acquisition, capital expenditures, restructuring and severance costs, acquisition and integration costs, costs related to litigation, advertising, promotional and marketing activities or for sales returns related to any reduction of space by the Company's customers, 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.
Any such developments, if significant, could reduce the Company’s revenues and operating income and could adversely affect Products Corporation’s ability to comply with certain financial and/or other covenants under the 2016 Credit Agreements, the Senior Notes Indentures, the 2018 Senior Line of Credit Agreement and/or the Asset-Based Term Agreement and in such event the Company could be required to take measures, including, among other things, reducing discretionary spending. (See Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in Revlon's 2017 Form 10-K for further discussion of certain risks associated with the Company's business and indebtedness.)

Derivative Financial Instruments
Foreign Currency Forward Exchange Contracts
Products Corporation enters into FX Contracts from time-to-time primarily for the purpose of hedging anticipated inventory purchases and certain intercompany payments denominated in currencies other than the local currencies of the Company’s foreign and domestic operations and generally have maturities of less than one year. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the U.S. Dollar notional amount of the FX Contracts outstanding were nil and $147.1 million, respectively. The FX Contracts outstanding had a nil fair value at September 30, 2018.
Interest Rate Swap Transaction
In November 2013, Products Corporation executed a forward-starting floating-to-fixed interest rate swap transaction (the "2013 Interest Rate Swap") that, at its inception, was based on a notional amount of $400 million in respect of indebtedness under the Old Acquisition Term Loan. The 2013 Interest Rate Swap expired in May 2018. Refer to Note 9, "Financial Instruments" for more information on this interest rate swap transaction.
Credit Risk
Exposure to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by any of the counterparties to the Company's outstanding hedging instruments is limited to the gross fair value of the derivative instruments in asset positions, which totaled $0.1 million and $0.6 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The Company attempts to minimize exposure to credit risk by generally entering into derivative contracts with counterparties that have investment-grade credit ratings and are major financial institutions. The Company also periodically monitors any changes in the credit ratings of its counterparties. Given the current credit standing of the counterparties to the Company's derivative instruments, the Company believes the risk of loss arising from any non-performance by any of the counterparties under these derivative instruments is remote.

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, with 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 fiscal period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting ("ICFR"). There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. During February 2018, the Company implemented its new ERP system that supports a significant portion of the Company's business in North America, which resulted in certain changes to the Company's processes and procedures. While this new ERP implementation has resulted in service level disruptions in the Company's Oxford, N.C. manufacturing facility, the ERP implementation has not materially affected, nor is it reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's ICFR.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the interim period ended September 30, 2018, as well as the Company's other public documents and statements, may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, which are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs, expectations, estimates, projections, assumptions, forecasts, plans, anticipations, targets, outlooks, initiatives, visions, objectives, strategies, opportunities, drivers, focus and intents of the Company’s management. While the Company believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, the Company cautions that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known and unknown factors, and, of course, it is impossible for the Company to anticipate all factors that could affect its results. The Company's actual results may differ materially from those discussed in such forward-looking statements. Such statements include, without limitation, the Company's expectations, plans and estimates (whether qualitative or quantitative) as to:
(i)
the Company's future financial performance and/or sales growth;
(ii)
the effect on sales of decreased consumer spending in response to weak economic conditions or weakness in the consumption of beauty care products in one or more of the Company's segments; adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates, foreign currency controls and/or government-mandated pricing controls; decreased sales of the Company’s products as a result of increased competitive activities by the Company’s competitors and/or decreased performance by third-party suppliers, whether due to shortages of raw materials or otherwise, changes in consumer purchasing habits, including with respect to retailer preferences and/or among sales channels, such as due to the consumption declines in core beauty categories in the mass retail channel in North America; inventory management by the Company's customers; inventory de-stocking by certain retail customers; space reconfigurations or reductions in display space by the Company's customers; retail store closures in the brick-and-mortar channels where the Company sells its products, as consumers continue to shift purchases to online and e-commerce channels; changes in pricing, marketing, advertising and/or promotional strategies by the Company's customers; less than anticipated results from the Company’s existing or new products or from its advertising, promotional, pricing and/or marketing plans; or if the Company’s expenses, including, without limitation, for pension expense under its benefit plans, acquisition and acquisition-related integration costs, capital expenditures, costs related to the Company’s synergy and integration programs in connection with the Elizabeth Arden Acquisition, restructuring and severance costs, costs related to litigation, advertising, promotional and marketing activities, or for sales returns related to any reduction of space by the Company's customers, product discontinuances or otherwise, exceed the anticipated level of expenses;
(iii)
the Company's belief that continuing to execute its business initiatives 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 (including through licensing transactions, if any), divesting or discontinuing non-core business lines (which may include exiting certain territories), further refining its approach to retail merchandising and/or taking further actions to optimize its manufacturing, sourcing and organizational size and structure, including optimizing the Elizabeth Arden Acquisition, any of which, the intended purpose would be to create value through improving the Company's financial performance, could result in the Company making investments and/or recognizing charges related to executing against such opportunities, which activities may be funded with operating revenues, cash on hand, funds available under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, the 2018 Senior Line of Credit Facility and/or other permitted additional sources of capital, which actions could increase the Company's total debt;
(iv)
certain beliefs and expectations regarding the Company's progress in resolving customer service level disruptions resulting from the launch of its new ERP system;
(v)
the effect of restructuring activities, restructuring costs and charges, the timing of restructuring payments and the benefits from such activities, including, without limitation: (A) in connection with implementing the EA Integration Restructuring Program: (1) consolidating offices, eliminating certain duplicative activities and streamlining back-office support (which are designed to reduce the Company's SG&A expenses); and (2) recognizing approximately $90 million to $95 million of the EA Integration Restructuring Charges (all of which are expected to be cash payments), consisting of: (x) approximately $70 million to $75 million of employee-related costs, including severance, retention and other contractual termination benefits; (y) approximately $10 million of lease termination costs; and (z) approximately $10 million of other related charges; (B) the Company’s plans to initiate a new 2018 Optimization Program designed to streamline the Company’s operations, reporting structures and business processes, with the objective of maximizing productivity and improving profitability, cash flows and liquidity, with the major initiatives underlying such program including: (1) optimizing its global supply chain and realizing manufacturing efficiencies and rationalizing its global warehouse network and office locations to drive greater efficiency, lower its cost base and enhance its speed-to-market capabilities for new innovations; (2) enhancing in-market execution and optimizing its commercial and organizational structures to create more efficient global and regional capabilities; and (3) reducing overhead costs and streamlining functions and workflows by leveraging technology and shared services and standardizing and simplifying its business processes, leading to greater agility and faster decision-making; (C) the Company’s expectations regarding the amount and timing of the charges and payments related to the 2018 Optimization Program, including that: (1) it will recognize approximately $30 million to $40 million of total pre-tax restructuring and related charges, consisting of employee-related costs, such as severance, pension and other termination costs, as well as related third party expenses; (2) it will incur approximately $10 million of additional capital expenditures; (3) of the restructuring charges, it will record in the fourth quarter of 2018 an estimated pre-tax restructuring charge of approximately $8 million to $10 million, with the balance to be recognized in 2019; and (4) approximately 85% of the restructuring charges are to be paid in cash, with approximately $6 million to $8 million expected to be paid in 2018 and $20 million to $26 million in 2019; (D) the Company’s expectation that the actions to be implemented under the 2018 Optimization Program will be substantially completed by December 31, 2019; (E) the Company’s projection that the 2018 Optimization Program will result in annualized cost reductions in the range of approximately $125 million to $150 million by the end of 2019;

(vii)
the Company’s expected principal sources of funds, including operating revenues, cash on hand and funds available for borrowing under Products Corporation's 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, the 2018 Senior Line of Credit Facility and other permitted lines of credit, as well as the availability of funds from the Company taking certain measures, including, among other things, reducing discretionary spending;
(viii)
the Company's expected principal uses of funds, including amounts required for payments in connection with the Company’s synergy and integration programs related to the Elizabeth Arden Acquisition (including, without limitation, for the EA Integration Restructuring Program); payments in connection with the Company's purchases of permanent wall displays; capital expenditure requirements; debt service payments and costs; cash tax payments; pension and other post-retirement benefit plan contributions; payments in connection with the Company's restructuring programs; severance not otherwise included in the Company’s restructuring programs; business and/or brand acquisitions (including, without limitation, through licensing transactions, if any); debt and/or equity repurchases, if any; costs related to litigation; and payments in connection with discontinuing non-core business lines and/or exiting and/or entering certain territories and/or channels of trade (including, without limitation, that the Company may also, from time-to-time, seek to retire or purchase its outstanding debt obligations and/or equity in open market purchases, block trades, privately negotiated purchase transactions or otherwise and may seek to refinance some or all of its indebtedness based upon market conditions and that any such retirement or purchase of debt and/or equity may be funded with operating cash flows of the business or other sources and will depend upon prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors, and the amounts involved may be material); and its estimates of the amount and timing of such operating and other expenses;
(ix)
matters concerning the impact on the Company from changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates;
(x)
the Company's expectation to efficiently manage its working capital, including, among other things, initiatives intended to optimize inventory levels over time; centralized procurement to secure discounts and efficiencies; prudent management of trade receivables, accounts payable and controls on general and administrative spending; the effects of service level disruptions to the Company’s manufacturing operations as a result of the launch of its new ERP system and actions that the Company is taking to implement a service recovery plan; and the Company’s belief that in the ordinary course of business, its source or use of cash from operating activities may vary on a quarterly basis as a result of a number of factors, including the timing of working capital flows;
(xi)
the Company’s expectations regarding its future net periodic benefit cost for its U.S. and international defined benefit plans;
(xii)
the Company's expectation that its tax provision and effective tax rate in any individual quarter and year-to-date period will vary and may not be indicative of the Company's tax provision and effective tax rate for the full year and, with respect to the Tax Act, the Company’s expectation that it will not have a transition tax liability due to its deficit in foreign earnings as of the applicable measurement dates, that the Tax Act’s limitation on interest deductibility will not impact the Company’s 2018 federal cash taxes due to its net operating loss position, and that the Tax Act will not have a material impact on its cash taxes or liquidity in 2018, as well as the Company's expectations regarding whether it will be required to establish additional valuation allowances on its deferred tax assets;

the Company's belief that the allegations contained in the Third Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint are without merit and its plans to continue to vigorously defend against them and its belief that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows, but that in light of the uncertainties involved in legal proceedings generally, the ultimate outcome of a particular matter could be material to the Company’s operating results for a particular period depending on, among other things, the size of the loss or the nature of the liability imposed and the level of the Company’s income for that particular period;
(xiv)
certain estimates used by management in estimating the fair value of the assets acquired in the Elizabeth Arden Acquisition and in valuing other assets and liabilities; and
(xv)
the Company's expected benefits and other impacts from the Elizabeth Arden Acquisition.

Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the Company's beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by, among other things, the use of forward-looking language such as "estimates," "objectives," "visions," "projects," "forecasts," "focus," "drive towards," "plans," "targets," "strategies," "opportunities," "assumptions," "drivers," "believes," "intends," "outlooks," "initiatives," "expects," "scheduled to," "anticipates," "seeks," "may," "will" or "should" or the negative of those terms, or other variations of those terms or comparable language, or by discussions of strategies, targets, long-range plans, models or intentions. 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 or may make in its 2017 Form 10-K and in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, in each case filed with the SEC in 2018 and 2017 (which, among other places, can be found on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov, as well as on the Company's corporate website at www.revloninc.com). Except as expressly set forth in this Form 10-Q, the information available from time-to-time on such websites shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into this Form 10-Q. 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 Revlon's 2017 Form 10-K for further discussion of risks associated with the Company's business). In addition to factors that may be described in the Company's filings with the SEC, including this filing, the following factors, among others, could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by the Company:
(i)
unanticipated circumstances or results affecting the Company's financial performance and or sales growth, including: greater than anticipated levels of consumers choosing to purchase their beauty products through e-commerce and other social media channels and/or greater than anticipated declines in the brick-and-mortar retail channel, or either of those conditions occurring at a rate faster than anticipated; the Company’s inability to address the pace and impact of the new commercial landscape, such as its inability to enhance its e-commerce and social media capabilities and/or increase its penetration of e-commerce and social media channels; the Company’s inability to drive a successful long-term omni-channel strategy and significantly increase its e-commerce penetration; difficulties, delays and/or the Company's inability to (in whole or in part) develop and implement effective content to enhance its online retail position, improve its consumer engagement across social media platform and/or transform its technology and data to support efficient management of its digital infrastructure; the Company incurring greater than anticipated levels of expenses and/or debt to facilitate the foregoing objectives, which could result in, among other things, less than anticipated revenues and/or profitability; decreased consumer spending in response to weak economic conditions or weakness in the consumption of beauty care products in one or more of the Company's segments; adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates, foreign currency controls and/or government-mandated pricing controls; decreased sales of the Company's products as a result of increased competitive activities by the Company's competitors; decreased performance by third-party suppliers, whether due to shortages of raw materials or otherwise; and/or supply disruptions at the Company’s manufacturing facilities; changes in consumer preferences, such as reduced consumer demand for the Company's color cosmetics and other current products, including new product launches; changes in consumer purchasing habits, including with respect to retailer preferences and/or among sales channels, such as due to the consumption declines in core beauty categories in the mass retail channel in North America; lower than expected customer acceptance or consumer acceptance of, or less than anticipated results from, the Company’s existing or new products; higher than expected retail store closures in the brick-and-mortar channels where the Company sells its products, as consumers continue to shift purchases to online and e-commerce channels; higher than expected restructuring or severance costs, acquisition costs and/or acquisition-related integration costs and capital expenditures, including, without limitation, costs and expenses related to the EA Integration Restructuring Program; higher than expected pension expense and/or cash contributions under its benefit plans, costs related to litigation, advertising, promotional and/or marketing expenses or lower than expected results from the Company’s advertising, promotional, pricing and/or marketing plans; higher than expected sales returns related to any reduction of space by the Company's customers, product discontinuances or otherwise or decreased sales of the Company’s existing or new products; actions by the Company’s customers, such as greater than expected inventory management and/or de-stocking, and greater than anticipated space reconfigurations or reductions in display space and/or product discontinuances or a greater than expected impact from pricing, marketing, advertising and/or promotional strategies by the Company's customers; and changes in the competitive environment and actions by the Company's competitors, including, among other things, business combinations, technological breakthroughs, implementation of new pricing strategies, new product offerings, increased advertising, promotional and marketing spending and advertising, promotional and/or marketing successes by competitors;

(iii)
unanticipated costs or difficulties or delays in completing projects associated with continuing to execute the Company’s business initiatives or lower than expected revenues or the inability to create value through improving our financial performance as a result of such initiatives, including lower than expected sales, or higher than expected costs, including as may arise from any additional repositioning, repackaging or reformulating of one or more brands or product lines, launching of new product lines, including higher than expected expenses, including for sales returns, for launching its new products, acquiring businesses or brands (including through licensing transactions, if any), divesting or discontinuing non-core business lines (which may include exiting certain territories or converting the Company's go-to-trade structure in certain countries to other business models), further refining its approach to retail merchandising and/or difficulties, delays or increased costs in connection with taking further actions to optimize the Company’s manufacturing, sourcing, supply chain or organizational size and structure, including optimizing the Elizabeth Arden Acquisition (including difficulties or delays in and/or the Company’s inability to optimally integrate the Elizabeth Arden business, more than expected costs to fully implement such integration or delays in fully implementing the integration and/or less than expected benefits from the EA Integration Restructuring Program, more than expected costs in implementing such program and/or difficulties or delays, in whole or in part, in executing the EA Integration Restructuring Program), as well as the unavailability of cash generated by operations, cash on hand and/or funds under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, the 2018 Senior Line of Credit Facility or from other permitted additional sources of capital to fund such potential activities, as well as the unavailability of funds due to potential mandatory repayment obligations under the Asset-Based Term Facility;

(vi)
lower than expected operating revenues, cash on hand and/or funds available under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, the 2018 Senior Line of Credit Facility and/or other permitted lines of credit; higher than anticipated operating expenses, such as referred to in clause (viii) below; and/or less than anticipated cash generated by the Company's domestic operations or unanticipated restrictions or taxes on repatriation of foreign earnings;
(vii)
the unavailability of funds under Products Corporation's 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, the 2018 Senior Line of Credit Facility or other permitted lines of credit; the unavailability of funds under the Asset-Based Term Facility, such as due to reductions in the applicable borrowing base that could require certain mandatory prepayments; or the unavailability of funds from difficulties, delays in or the Company's inability to take other measures, such as reducing discretionary spending;
(viii)

unexpected significant impacts on the Company from changes in interest rates or foreign exchange rates;

unexpected significant variances in the Company's tax provision, effective tax rate and/or unrecognized tax benefits, whether due to the enactment of the Tax Act or otherwise, such as due to the issuance of unfavorable guidance, interpretations, technical clarifications and/or technical corrections legislation by the U.S. Congress, the U.S. Treasury Department or the IRS, unexpected changes in foreign, state or local tax regimes in response to the Tax Act, and/or changes in estimates that may impact the calculation of the Company's tax provisions, as well as changes in circumstances that could adversely impact the Company's expectations regarding the establishment of additional valuation allowances on its deferred tax assets;
(xiii)
unanticipated adverse effects on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows as a result of unexpected developments with respect to the Company's legal proceedings;

REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved in various routine legal proceedings incidental to the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. However, in light of the uncertainties involved in legal proceedings generally, the ultimate outcome of a particular matter could be material to the Company’s operating results for a particular period depending on, among other things, the size of the loss or the nature of the liability imposed and the level of the Company’s income for that particular period. See Note 21, "Contingencies" to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Revlon's 2017 Form 10-K, for further discussion.
As previously disclosed, following the announcement of the execution of the Elizabeth Arden Merger Agreement, several putative shareholder class action lawsuits and a derivative lawsuit were filed challenging the Merger. In addition to the complaints filed on behalf of plaintiffs Parker, Christiansen, Ross and Stein on July 25, 2016, a lawsuit (Hutson v. Elizabeth Arden, Inc., et al., Case No. CACE-16-013566) (referred to as the "Hutson complaint") was filed in the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida (the "Court") against Elizabeth Arden, the members of the board of directors of Elizabeth Arden, Revlon, Products Corporation and Acquisition Sub. In general, the Hutson complaint alleges that: (i) the members of Elizabeth Arden’s board of directors breached their fiduciary duties to Elizabeth Arden’s shareholders with respect to the Merger, by, among other things, approving the Merger pursuant to an unfair process and at an inadequate and unfair price; and (ii) Revlon, Products Corporation and Acquisition Sub aided and abetted the breaches of fiduciary duty by the members of Elizabeth Arden’s board of directors. The plaintiff seeks relief similar to that sought in the Parker case.
By Order dated August 4, 2016, all five cases were consolidated by the Court into a Consolidated Amended Class Action. Thereafter, on August 11, 2016, a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint was filed, seeking to enjoin defendants from consummating the Merger and/or from soliciting shareholder votes. To the extent that the Merger was consummated, the Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint seeks to rescind the Merger or recover rescissory or other compensatory damages, along with costs and fees. The grounds for relief set forth in the Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint in large part track those grounds as asserted in the five individual complaints, as previously disclosed. Class counsel advised that post-consummation of the Merger they were going to file a Second Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint. The Second Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint (which superseded the Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint) was ultimately filed on or about January 26, 2017. Like the Consolidated Amended Class Action complaint, the grounds for relief set forth in the Second Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint in large part track those grounds as asserted in the five individual complaints.
The defendants' motions to dismiss the Second Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint were filed on March 28, 2017. Plaintiffs' response was filed on June 6, 2017 and defendants' replies were filed on July 13, 2017. A hearing on the defendants' motion to dismiss was held on September 19, 2017 and on November 20, 2017, the defendants' motion was granted and the case was dismissed, with leave to amend under limited circumstances. On December 8, 2017, plaintiffs filed a Third Amended Complaint, seeking relief on the same grounds sought in the First and Second Amended Complaints, but alleged as direct, as opposed to derivative, claims. On January 12, 2018, the defendants once again moved to dismiss. The motion was heard on March 29, 2018 and the parties await a decision. On August 14, 2018, the Court granted the motion and dismissed the Third Amended Complaint, with prejudice. On September 11, 2018, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal. The Company continues to believe these allegations are without merit and intends to continue to vigorously defend against them. Additional lawsuits arising out of or relating to the Merger Agreement or the Merger may be filed in the future.
The Company believes that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. However, in light of the uncertainties involved in legal proceedings generally, the ultimate outcome of a particular matter could be material to the Company’s operating results for a particular period depending on, among other things, the size of the loss or the nature of the liability imposed and the level of the Company’s income for that particular period.


Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information in this report, investors should consider carefully the following risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in Revlon's 2017 Form 10-K.

Item 5. Other Information

On November 9, 2018, the Company announced that it was moving forward with a new 2018 Optimization Program designed to streamline the Company’s operations, reporting structures and business processes, with the objective of maximizing productivity and improving profitability, cash flows and liquidity.

The major initiatives underlying the 2018 Optimization Program include:
Optimizing Global Supply Chain: Realizing manufacturing efficiencies and rationalizing the Company’s global warehouse network and office locations to drive greater efficiency, lower its cost base and enhance the Company’s speed-to-market capabilities for new innovations;
Enhancing In-Market Execution: Optimizing the Company’s commercial and organizational structures to create more efficient global and regional capabilities;
Reducing Overhead Costs and Streamlining Functions: Streamlining functions and workflows by leveraging technology and shared services and standardizing and simplifying the Company’s business processes, leading to greater agility and faster decision-making.

In connection with implementing the 2018 Optimization Program, the Company expects to recognize approximately $30 million to $40 million of total pre-tax restructuring and related charges, consisting of employee-related costs, such as severance, pension and other termination costs, as well as related third party expenses. The Company also expects to incur approximately $10 million of additional capital expenditures. Of the restructuring charges, the Company expects that it will record in the fourth quarter of 2018 an estimated pre-tax restructuring charge of approximately $8 million to $10 million, with the balance to be recognized in 2019. Approximately 85% of the restructuring charges are expected to be paid in cash, with approximately $6 million to $8 million expected to be paid in 2018 and $20 million to $26 million in 2019. The Company expects that the actions to be implemented under the 2018 Optimization Program will be substantially completed by December 31, 2019 and it is currently projected to result in annualized cost reductions in the range of approximately $125 million to $150 million by the end of 2019.

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Initial Term Lender severally agrees to make a term loan (an “Initial Term Loan”) in Euros to the applicable Borrower on the Closing Date in an amount which will not exceed the amount of the Initial Term Loan Commitment of such Lender. The aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Initial Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be the stated principal amount thereof outstanding from time to time. The Initial Term Loans shall be Eurocurrency Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.13.

49




Section 2.2
Procedures for Initial Term Loan Borrowing.
The applicable Borrower(s) shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent at least four Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree) requesting that the Initial Term Lenders make the Initial Term Loans on the Closing Date to such Borrower and specifying the amount to be borrowed and the requested Interest Period, if applicable. Upon receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Initial Term Lender thereof. Not later than 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Closing Date, each Initial Term Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to the Initial Term Loan to be made by such Lender to such Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall credit the account designated in writing by such Borrower to the Administrative Agent with all such aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Initial Term Lenders in immediately available funds.

[Reserved].
Section 2.7

Section 2.8
Repayment of Loans.
(a)    Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay, in Euros, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the appropriate Term Loan Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan of such Term Loan Lender made to such Borrower outstanding on the applicable Term Loan Maturity Date (or on such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8.1). Each Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest, in Euros, on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans made to such Borrower from time to time outstanding from the date made until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.15.
(b)    Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest (based on the applicable interest rate and Interest Period) payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.
(c)    The Administrative Agent, on behalf of each Borrower, shall maintain a Register pursuant to Section 10.6(b)(iv), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and any Note evidencing such Loan and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal, interest and fees, as applicable, due and payable or to become due and payable from such Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent, as applicable, hereunder from such Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of any conflict between the Register and the records maintained by a Lender pursuant to Section 2.8(b), the Register shall control.

50




(d)    The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to Section 2.8(c) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be presumptively correct absent demonstrable error of the existence and amounts of the obligations of each Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain a Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of each Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to such Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e)    Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct, during a Liquidity Event Period or at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the application of all funds in any Approved Deposit Account and agrees that the Administrative Agent may (in its sole discretion exercised reasonably) and, upon the written direction of the Required Lenders given at any time during such Liquidity Event Period or after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, shall exercise its applicable rights under any Deposit Account Control Agreement (including providing any notices of blockage or control) for each Approved Deposit Account and apply all available funds in any Approved Deposit Account to repay the Term Loans, on a daily basis (but only so long as such Liquidity Event Period or Event of Default, as the case may be, is continuing) until the earlier of (A) such Initial Term Loans are repaid in full and (B) after giving pro forma effect to such repayment, such Liquidity Event Period is no longer continuing. If no Liquidity Event Period or Event of Default shall be continuing, the Administrative Agent shall not exercise control rights under the Deposit Account Control Agreements (other than with respect to the Qualified Cash Account in accordance with the terms of the following paragraph) and shall, upon receipt of three Business Days’ prior written notice and a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower that no Liquidity Event Period or Event of Default is continuing, cease any enforcement measures in respect of Approved Deposit Accounts (other than the Qualified Cash Account in accordance with the terms of the following paragraph) in effect at such time, including blockage, dominion or the withdrawal of all notices, instructions or directions provided to any Deposit Account Bank thereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, funds used to reduce outstanding amounts may not be reborrowed.
(f)    Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct, during a Qualified Cash Sweep Period or at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the application of all funds in any Qualified Cash Account and agrees that the Administrative Agent may (in its sole discretion exercised reasonably and upon prior or concurrent written notice to the Borrower) and, upon the written direction of the Required Lenders given at any time during such Qualified Cash Sweep Period or after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, shall, exercise its applicable rights under any Deposit Account Control Agreement for each Qualified Cash Account and apply all available funds in any Qualified Cash Account, on a daily basis (but only so long as such Qualified Cash Sweep Period or Event of Default, as the case may be, is continuing) until the Initial Term Loan Amount does not exceed the Non-Adjusted Borrowing Base after giving pro forma effect to such repayment. So long as the Qualified Cash Release Conditions are satisfied with respect to a Qualified Cash Account, the Administrative Agent shall, upon receipt of three Business Days’ prior written notice and a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the U.S. Borrower that the Qualified Cash Release Conditions are satisfied with respect to such Qualified Cash Account, permit the withdrawal of funds from such Qualified Cash Account.

Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein (provided, that any such notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any transaction or the receipt of proceeds to be used for such payment, in each case specified therein (including the effectiveness of other credit facilities), in which case such notice may be revoked by such Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied), together with accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Term Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of the Borrowing Minimum or a whole multiple of the Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof, and in each case shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.18.
(b)    Any optional or mandatory prepayment of the Initial Term Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.11 or Section 2.12(a) or in connection with any other Prepayment Event shall be accompanied by a prepayment fee, which shall be 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount prepaid, repaid, accelerated (including after any Event of Default) or otherwise due and payable and shall decline to 0% on and after the first six-month anniversary of the Closing Date.
(c)    Prepayments under this Section 2.11 shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the then outstanding Term Loans in the Tranche being prepaid.
Section 2.12
Mandatory Prepayments.
(a)    Unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree, if any Indebtedness (excluding any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred in accordance with Section 7.2 (other than Permitted Refinancing in respect of the Term Loans)) shall be incurred by any Borrower or Guarantor (other than any Parent Guarantor), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied not later than one Business Day after the date of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds toward the prepayment of the Term Loans; provided, that each Borrower and Guarantor shall be required to make prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.12(a) solely in respect of Loans borrowed or guaranteed by such Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable.
(b)    If, on any date, the Initial Term Loan Amount exceeds the Borrowing Base at such time, a Borrower shall promptly provide notice to the Administrative Agent thereof (and in no event, no later than one Business Day thereafter) and within three Business Days shall promptly prepay the Initial Term Loans, to the Administrative Agent, in an aggregate principal amount equal to
(i)    such excess or

52




(ii)    if such a Borrower elects to have cash deposited into the Qualified Cash Account pursuant to Section 2.12(c), an amount equal to the Initial Term Loan Amount in excess of the Borrowing Base at such time after giving pro forma effect to the deposit of such cash.
(c)    If a Borrower is required to prepay the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.12(b), such Borrower may elect to have cash deposited into the Qualified Cash Account within three Business Days pursuant to Section 2.12(b) and the Borrowing Base (and the amounts required to be prepaid pursuant to Section 2.12(b)) shall automatically be recalculated to give pro forma effect to such deposit.
(d)    If any Borrower would incur costs pursuant to Section 2.21 as a result of any payment due pursuant to this Section 2.12, such Borrower may deposit the amount of such payment with the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the relevant Lenders, in an Approved Deposit Account, until the end of the applicable Interest Period at which time such payment shall be made; provided, such cash and/or Cash Equivalents shall not constitute Qualified Cash. Each such Borrower hereby grants the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of such Lenders, a security interest in all amounts in which such Borrower has any right, title or interest which are from time to time on deposit in such Cash Collateral Account and expressly waives all rights (which rights such Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees are vested exclusively in the Administrative Agent) to exercise dominion or control over any such amounts.
Section 2.13

(b)    Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be presumptively correct in the absence of demonstrable error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.15(a).
Section 2.17
Inability to Determine Interest Rate.
If prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Loan:
(a)    the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be presumptively correct absent demonstrable error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining EURIBOR for such Interest Period; or
(b)    the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that by reason of any changes arising after the Closing Date, EURIBOR determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such

54




Lenders (as certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period;
then, the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (i) EURIBOR for such Interest Periods shall be (A) a comparable successor or alternative interbank rate for deposits in the corresponding currency in lieu of EURIBOR that is (x) reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, (y) no less favorable to the Borrower than such successor or alternative interbank rates used under other credit facilities of similarly situated borrowers in respect of which the Administrative Agent acts in a substantively similar capacity to its capacity hereunder and (z) posted electronically on the Platform to Required Lenders (provided, that if Required Lenders have objected in writing to such posted rate within five Business Days following such posting, such posted rate shall cease to apply), or (B) solely if no such comparable successor or alternative interbank rate exists at such time or if Required Lenders have objected to a posted rate under clause (A) above, a successor or alternative index rate as the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may determine with the consent of Required Lenders (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), which shall be no less favorable to the Borrower than such successor or alternative interbank rates used under other credit facilities of similarly situated borrowers in respect of which the Administrative Agent acts in a substantively similar capacity to its capacity hereunder and (ii) until the adoption of a successor or alternative index rate in accordance with clause (i) above, (x) any Eurocurrency Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Eurocurrency Loans with reference to the second proviso of the definition of “EURIBOR”, unless such request for Eurocurrency Loans shall be rescinded by the applicable Borrower promptly after receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent and (y) any outstanding Eurocurrency Loans under the relevant Facility shall be continued as Eurocurrency Loans with reference to the second proviso of the definition of “EURIBOR”. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent (which action the Administrative Agent will take promptly after the conditions giving rise to such notice no longer exist) or the adoption of a successor or alternative index rate pursuant to clause (i) above, no further Eurocurrency Loans under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued with reference to clauses (a) of the definition of “EURIBOR”. For the avoidance of doubt, a Borrower’s rescission of a request for Eurocurrency Loans shall be subject to Section 2.21. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the successor or alternative index rate be less than zero.
Section 2.18
Pro Rata Treatment and Payments
(a)    Except as expressly otherwise provided herein (including as expressly provided in Sections 2.19, 2.20, 2.21, 2.22, 2.24, 10.5, 10.6 and 10.7), each payment in respect of principal or interest in respect of any Tranche of Term Loans and each payment in respect of fees payable hereunder with respect to Term Loans of such Tranche shall be applied to the amounts of such obligations owing to the Term Loan Lenders of such Tranche, pro rata according to the respective amounts due and owing to such Term Loan Lenders.
(b)    [reserved].
(c)    [reserved].
(d)    All payments (including prepayments) to be made by a Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff, deduction or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant Lenders, at the Funding Office, in immediately available funds. Any payment received by the Administrative Agent after 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) may be considered received on the next Business Day in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion. The Administrative Agent shall distribute

55




such payments to the relevant Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurocurrency Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurocurrency Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
(e)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand, such amount with interest thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be presumptively correct in the absence of demonstrable error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall give notice of such fact to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrower.
(f)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each relevant Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.
Section 2.19
Requirements of Law.
(a)    Except with respect to Indemnified Taxes, Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority first made, in each case, subsequent to the Closing Date:
(i)    shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of EURIBOR hereunder;

56




(ii)    shall subject any Recipient to any Taxes on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations or its deposits, reserves, other liability or capital attributable thereto; or
(iii)    shall impose on such Lender any other condition not otherwise contemplated hereunder;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or other Recipient, by an amount which such Lender or other Recipient reasonably deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurocurrency Loans, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, in Euros, within thirty Business Days after the Borrower’s receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor (showing with reasonable detail the calculations thereof), any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.19, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.
(b)    If any Lender shall have reasonably determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any entity controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority first made, in each case, subsequent to the Closing Date shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such entity’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under to a level below that which such Lender or such entity could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such entity’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a reasonably detailed written request therefor (consistent with the detail provided by such Lender to similarly situated borrowers), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, in Euros, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such entity for such reduction.
(c)    A certificate prepared in good faith as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.19 submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be presumptively correct in the absence of demonstrable error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.19, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.19 for any amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, that if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such 180-day period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be obligated to make payment to any Lender with respect to penalties, interest and expenses if written demand therefor was not made by such Lender within 180 days from the date on which such Lender makes payment for such penalties, interest and expenses.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.19 to the contrary, solely for purposes of this Section 2.19, (i) the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines and directives promulgated thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the

57




United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall, in each case, be deemed to have been enacted, adopted or issued, as applicable, subsequent to the Closing Date.
Section 2.20
Taxes.
(a)    Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or as required by law, all payments made by or on account of each Borrower or any Loan Party under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to any Recipient under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes. If any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are required to be deducted or withheld from any such payments, the amounts so payable to the applicable Recipient shall be increased to the extent necessary so that after deduction or withholding of such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.20(a)) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b)    In addition, each Borrower or any Loan Party under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c)    Whenever any Taxes are payable by any Borrower and any Loan Party under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by such Borrower or Loan Party showing payment thereof if such receipt is obtainable, or, if not, such other evidence of payment as may reasonably be required by the Administrative Agent or such Lender. Any Borrower or any Loan Party under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall indemnify the applicable Recipient for any payments by them of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, including any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.20(a), and for any Indemnified Taxes that become payable by such Recipient within thirty days after the Lender or the Administrative Agent delivers to such Borrower or Loan Party (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) either (a) a copy of the receipt issued by a Governmental Authority evidencing payment of such Taxes or (b) certificates as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared in good faith.
(d)    [reserved]
(e)    Each Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, each Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to non U.S. backup or similar withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(f)    [reserved]

58




(g)    Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, two accurate and complete copies of IRS Form W-9 or IRS Form W-8, as applicable, or any subsequent versions or successors to such form and certify that such Lender is not subject to backup withholding. Such forms shall be delivered by each Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement. In addition, each Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender, and from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certifications to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or any such subsequent version or successors to such adopted by the United States taxing authorities for such purpose).
(h)    If any Recipient determines, in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.20 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20), it shall promptly pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid under this Section 2.20 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Recipient and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that such indemnifying party, upon the request of such Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the indemnifying party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority other than any such penalties, interest or other charges resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the relevant Recipient (as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction)) to such Recipient in the event such Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority; provided, further, that such Recipient shall, at the indemnifying party’s request, provide a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to pay such refund received from the relevant Governmental Authority (provided that the Recipient may delete any information therein that it deems confidential). This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. In no event will any Recipient be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party the payment of which would place such Recipient in a less favorable net after-tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the additional amounts giving rise to such refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes had never been paid. The agreements in this Section 2.20 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.
(i)    [reserved].
(j)    If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to a Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.20(j) “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

59




(k)    To the extent required by any applicable laws, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.20, each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Borrower or Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of such Borrower or Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.6(c)(iii) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (k).
(l)    
(i)    All amounts expressed to be payable under any Loan Document by any party hereto to any of the Recipients which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject to Section 2.20(l)(ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Recipient to any such party under any Loan Document and such Recipient is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that a party hereto must pay to such Recipient (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT upon receipt of an appropriate VAT invoice issued by such Recipient to that such party but only to the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.
(ii)    If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Recipient (the “Supplier”) to any other Recipient (the “Receiver”) under any Loan Document, and any party hereto other than the Receiver (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Receiver in respect of that consideration)
(A)    where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The Receiver must (where this Section 2.20(l)(ii) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Receiver receives from the relevant tax authority which the Receiver reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply or
(B)    where the Receiver is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the Receiver, pay to the Receiver an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Receiver reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.

60




(iii)    Where a Loan Document requires any Loan Party to reimburse or indemnify the Administrative Agent, a Lender for any cost or expense, that Loan Party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) the Administrative Agent, such Lender for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that the Administrative Agent, such Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it or an Affiliate is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.
(iv)    In relation to any supply made by a Recipient to any Relevant Party under any Loan Document, if reasonably requested by such Recipient, that a party hereto must promptly provide such Recipient with details of that Relevant Party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Recipient’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.
(v)    Any reference in this Section 2.20(l) to any Relevant Party shall, at any time when such Relevant Party is treated as a member of a group (including but not limited to any fiscal unities) for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply under the grouping rules.
(m)    The agreements in this Section 2.20 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable under any Loan Document, the resignation of the Administrative Agent and any assignment of rights by, or replacement of, any Lender.
Section 2.21
Indemnity.
Other than with respect to Taxes, which shall be governed solely by Section 2.20, each Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense (other than lost profits, including the loss of Applicable Margin) that such Lender actually sustains or incurs as a consequence of (a) any failure by such Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans after such Borrower has given notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) any failure by such Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurocurrency Loans after such Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment, conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. A reasonably detailed certificate as to (showing in reasonable detail the calculation of) any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.21 submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be presumptively correct in the absence of demonstrable error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.
Section 2.22
Illegality.
Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof, in each case, first made after the Closing Date, shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurocurrency Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, and (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurocurrency Loans and continue Eurocurrency Loans with reference to clause (a) of the definition of “EURIBOR” shall be suspended during the period of such illegality and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurocurrency Loans, if any, shall be covered automatically to Eurocurrency Loans with reference to the second proviso of the definition of “EURIBOR” on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurocurrency Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day

61




of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.21. During the period of such illegality, all Loans made or continued by such affected Lender shall be made and continued, as applicable, by reference to the second proviso of the definition of “EURIBOR”.
For the purposes of article 135 of the Spanish Insolvency Act, the obligations of each Spanish Loan Party and Spanish Parent Guarantors under this agreement vis-á-vis each Borrower shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement at any time such that each Spanish Loan Party’s and Spanish Parent Guarantor’s obligations pursuant to this Clause shall not be affected in any way by any settlement agreement that may be agreed in any insolvency proceedings of an obligor (nor shall they be deemed amended as a consequence of the approval of that settlement agreement) that each Borrower has approved/acceded to or irrespective of the fact that has not approved/acceded to, that settlement agreement.
Section 2.23
Change of Lending Office.
Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.19, 2.20(a) or 2.22 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to avoid or minimize any amounts payable pursuant to such Sections (including by designating another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event); provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; provided, further, that nothing in this Section 2.23 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.19, 2.20(a) or 2.22.
Section 2.24
Replacement of Lenders.
The Borrower shall be permitted to (a) replace with a financial entity or financial entities, or (b) prepay or terminate, without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.11(b) and Section 2.21), the Loans or Commitments, as applicable, of any Lender (each such Lender, a “Replaced Lender”) that (i) requests reimbursement for amounts owing or otherwise results in increased costs imposed on the Borrowers or on account of which a Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to any Governmental Authority, in each case, pursuant to Section 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21 (to the extent a request made by a Lender pursuant to the operation of Section 2.21 is materially greater than requests made by other Lenders) or gives a notice of illegality pursuant to Section 2.22, (ii) [reserved], (iii) is, or the Borrower reasonably believes could constitute, a Disqualified Institution, or (iv) has refused to consent to any waiver or amendment with respect to any Loan Document that requires such Lender’s consent and has been consented to by the Required Lenders; provided, that, in the case of a replacement pursuant to clause (a) above:
(A)    such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law;
(B)    the replacement financial entity or financial entities shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such Replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement;
(C)    the Borrower shall be liable to such Replaced Lender under Section 2.21 (as though Section 2.21 were applicable) if any Eurocurrency Loan owing to such Replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto;

62




(D)    the replacement financial entity or financial entities, (x) if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to the extent that an assignment to such replacement financial institution of the rights and obligations being acquired by it would otherwise require the consent of the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.6(b)(i)(B) and (y) shall pay (unless otherwise paid by the Borrower) any processing and recordation fee required under Section 10.6(b)(ii)(B);
(E)    the Administrative Agent and any replacement financial entity or entities shall execute and deliver, and such Replaced Lender shall thereupon be deemed to have executed and delivered, an appropriately completed Assignment and Assumption to effect such substitution;

(G)    in respect of a replacement pursuant to clause (iv) above, the replacement financial entity or financial entities shall consent to such amendment or waiver; and
(H)    any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the Replaced Lender and
(I)    if such replacement is made prior to the first six-month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower or the replacement Lender shall pay the Replaced Lender a fee equal to 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount of its Initial Term Loans required to be assigned pursuant to this Section 2.24 (without duplication of any amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.11(b)).
Prepayments pursuant to clause (b) above (i) shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount so prepaid up to the date of such prepayment and (ii) shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 2.18. In connection with any such replacement under this Section 2.24, if the Replaced Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Assumption and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such replacement by the later of (a) the date on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption and/or such other documentation and (b) the date as of which all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Replaced Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender, then such Replaced Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Assumption and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Replaced Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall record such assignment in the Register.
Section 2.25
Incremental Loans.
(a)    The Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request additional Term Loans (such Term Loans, “Incremental Term Loans”) hereunder, in an amount outstanding for all such Incremental Term Loans not in excess of, at the time the respective Incremental Term Loans become effective, €43,000,000. Each such notice relating to Incremental Term Loans shall specify, the date (each, an “Incremental Closing Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Incremental Term Loan shall be borrowed, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative

(vi)    (A)  the maturity date of any Incremental Term Loans shall be after the Latest Maturity Date of the Initial Term Loans, (B) such Incremental Term Loans shall require no scheduled amortization prior to the Latest Maturity Date of the Initial Term Loans and (C) such Incremental Term Loans shall be on the same terms or terms no materially more favorable to the Lenders providing the Incremental Term Loans as the terms applicable to the Initial Terms Loan (other than with respect to pricing) unless such terms are added for the benefit of all Lenders hereunder or apply only after the Latest Maturity Date of the Initial Term Loans;

64




(vii)    such Incremental Term Loans shall be effected in accordance with Section 2.25(e); and
(viii)    to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, subject to the Agreed Security Principles, the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered (A) customary legal opinions with respect to the due authorization, execution and delivery by each Parent Guarantor and each Loan Party to be party thereto, the enforceability of such documentation, the non-conflict of the execution, delivery of and performance of payment obligations under such documentation with this Agreement and with the organizational documents of the Loan Parties, and the effectiveness of specified Security Documents to create and/or continue a valid perfected first priority security interests, as applicable, in specified Collateral to secure the Obligations, including the Incremental Term Loans thereunder, (B) certified copies of the resolutions or other applicable corporate action of each applicable Loan Party approving its entry into such documents and the transactions contemplated thereby and (C) customary reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments, supplements or modifications to the Security Documents as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to ensure that each New Lender is provided with the benefits of the applicable Loan Documents and each then existing Secured Party continues to be provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents.

Intellectual Property.
Each Loan Party owns, or has a valid license or right to use all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted and has the right to Distribute Inventory on an Authorized Basis, free and clear of all Liens, (a) except such Liens that are permitted by the Loan Documents and (b) except (i) other than with respect to Inventory (and the Authorized Distribution thereof), where the failure to own, have a valid license or right would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) in the case of Inventory (and the Authorized Distribution thereof), where the failure to own, have a valid license or right would not have a material adverse impact on: the business, operations, assets, financial condition or results of operations of such Loan Party and the ability of such Loan Party to Distribute Inventory on an Authorized Basis in the ordinary course of business or, if an Event of Default is continuing, solely for the Licensed Purpose, the ability of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to Distribute Inventory on an Authorized Basis.
To the Borrower’s knowledge, neither the Borrower nor any Loan Party is infringing, misappropriating, diluting or otherwise violating any Intellectual Property rights of any Person in a manner that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and with respect to Inventory (and the Authorized Distribution thereof), not materially impair the ability of such Loan Party to conduct its business and Distribute Inventory on an Authorized Basis in the ordinary course of business or, if an Event of Default is continuing, solely for the Licensed Purpose, the ability of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to Distribute Inventory on an Authorized Basis.

Revlon and the Loan Parties do not intend to treat the Loans and the related

68




transactions contemplated hereby as being a “reportable transaction” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4).

(b)    The Loan Parties have not incurred, and do not reasonably expect to incur, any liability under ERISA or the Code with respect to any plan within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA which is subject to Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA that is maintained by a Commonly Controlled Entity (other than the Loan Parties) (a “Commonly Controlled Plan”) merely by virtue of being treated as a single employer under Title IV of ERISA with the sponsor of such plan that would reasonably be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect and result in a direct obligation of the Loan Parties to pay money.

(iii)    if an Event of Default is continuing, solely for the Licensed Purpose, cooperate with the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in the Authorized Distribution of Inventory (including, without limitation, the execution and delivery, acknowledgment or provision of any appropriate documentation that may be requested by a third-party to evidence that the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent are Authorized to Distribute Inventory), and
(iv)    from time to time, take all such necessary actions the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to ensure that material Inventory purchased, manufactured or otherwise owned, held or controlled by the Loan Parties is and remains subject to the First Sale Doctrine or otherwise take all such necessary actions to ensure that the Loan Parties are Authorized to Distribute such Inventory (other than Inventory with respect to which the Loan Parties own the applicable material trademarks and other material Intellectual Property applicable to, appearing on or subsisting in such Inventory in the markets and jurisdictions in which the Loan Parties export, import, sell, resell, advertise, manufacture (including of packaging), market, distribute, promote and otherwise commercialize such Inventory).

Reliance by the Agents.
The Agents shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower, a Loan Party or Parent Guarantor), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agents.

Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders.

Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, Property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under the applicable Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, Property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agents hereunder, the Agents shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, Property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of either Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or Affiliates.

(a)    Subject to the appointment of a successor as set forth herein, any Agent may resign upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders, the Borrower and the other Agent effective upon appointment of a successor Agent. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be a bank that has an office in New York, New York with a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 and shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.1(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of such retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such retiring Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders with such consent of the Borrower and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) appoint a successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, with the qualifications set forth above. After any retiring Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(b)    [Reserved].

121




(c)    Any resignation by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9 shall also constitute its resignation as Collateral Agent. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent and (ii) the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.
(d)    Any successor Agent and each of the other parties shall have the same rights and obligations amongst themselves as they would have had if such successor had been an original party including the capacity to represent any of the Lenders for the purposes of raising any document to the status of Spanish Public Document.
Section 9.10
Authorization to Release Liens and Guarantees.
The Agents are hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to effect any release or subordination of Liens or Guarantee Obligations contemplated by Section 10.15.
Section 9.11
Agents May File Proofs of Claim.
In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether either Agent shall have made any demand on any Loan Party) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,
(a)    to file a proof of claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agents under Sections 2.9 and 10.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b)    to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Agents and, if either Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders to pay to such Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to such Agent under Sections 2.9 and 10.5.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender to authorize such Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or in any such proceeding.

Section 9.14
Appointment of the Australian Security Trustee.
(a)    The Australian Security Trustee is (i) appointed by each Secured Party (other than the Australian Security Trustee) to act as the Australian Security Trustee for the purposes of the Loan Documents; and (ii)_irrevocably authorized to enter into the Loan Documents in its capacity as Australian Security Trustee and to take the action and to exercise the rights that are expressly or by implication delegated to the Australian Security Trustee by a Loan Document and any other action or rights that are reasonably incidental.
(b)    A Secured Party must not assign, encumber, declare a trust over or otherwise deal with any of its rights or novate any of its rights and obligations under any of the Loan Documents to any person other than as permitted by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and must promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any assignment, encumbrance, declaration of trust over or other dealing with or novation of that Secured Party’s rights, benefits or obligations under any Loan Document.
(c)    If at any time the Australian Security Trustee receives money under a Loan Document that is available for distribution, whether or not it represents the proceeds of recovery action taken under any Loan Document, then the Australian Security Trustee must, subject to any applicable law to the contrary including section 140 of the Australian PPSA, distribute that money in accordance with this Agreement.
(d)    Money referred to in Section 9.14(c) above includes money that is received by the Australian Security Trustee before enforcement proceedings are commenced under a Loan Document in relation to any Collateral but which has not been distributed by that time.
(e)    Subject to a contrary decision by the Administrative Agent (acting on the instructions of the relevant Required Lenders), the money referred to in Section 9.14(c) does not constitute recovered money if the money is deposited in an interest bearing suspense account under a Loan Document.
(f)    The Australian Security Trustee must: (i) promptly send to each Secured Party details of each communication and document received by it from the Administrative Agent or an Australian Lender in connection with the Loan Documents, unless the details are of a purely routine or administrative nature; (ii) subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, act in accordance with any instructions from the Administrative Agent (acting on the instructions of the Required Lenders) or, if so instructed by the Administrative Agent, refrain from exercising rights vested in it under the Loan Documents; and (iii) promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any Event of Default of which the Australian Security Trustee, acting in its capacity as Australian Security Trustee, acquires actual knowledge and of which the Administrative Agent does not have actual knowledge.
(g)    Subject to the other provisions of this Section 9.14 and except in relation to amounts due to the Australian Security Trustee in its own right, the Australian Security Trustee agrees to act in accordance with the instructions of the Administrative Agent (acting on the instructions of the relevant Required Lenders) in exercising its rights under the Loan Documents.
(h)    The Australian Security Trustee in its capacity as Australian Security Trustee must not, without the prior written instructions of the Administrative Agent, (i) exercise rights delegated to or conferred on it under the Loan Documents; or (ii) waive any breach of or otherwise excuse performance of any obligation of any Australian Loan Party or Australian Parent Guarantor under any Loan Document.

123




(i)    Any instruction given to or action taken by the Australian Security Trustee in accordance with this Agreement or any other Loan Document is binding on all Loan Parties and each Secured Party authorizes the Australian Security Trustee to give any consent and do any other matter or thing necessary or appropriate to give effect to the instruction.
(j)    The instructions referred to in this Section 9.14(j) (and any other provisions in this Section 9.14 requiring the Administrative Agent to seek or act in accordance with the Required Lenders’ consent, authority or instructions) are deemed to be given in accordance with this Agreement, if the Administrative Agent communicates such consent, authority or instructions to the Australian Security Trustee and states that the consent, authority or instructions were given or obtained in accordance with this Agreement. In such event, the Australian Security Trustee need not enquire whether the Required Lenders have given the requisite consent, authority or instructions to the Administrative Agent.
(k)    If (in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent) the Australian Security Trustee fails to act in accordance with any instructions given to it under this Agreement (and within a time deemed reasonable by the Administrative Agent), each Secured Party has a right to exercise the rights of the Australian Security Trustee to enable that instruction to be effected.
(l)    The Australian Security Trustee may (i) perform any of its duties, obligations and responsibilities under the Loan Documents by or through its agents and representatives; (ii) refrain from exercising any rights vested in it under the Loan Documents until it has received instructions from the Administrative Agent (acting on the instructions of the Required Lenders), as to whether (and, if it is to be exercised, the way in which) that right is to be exercised and in all cases will not incur any liability when (A) acting in accordance with those instructions or (B) refraining from acting, either in accordance with those instructions or in the absence of those instructions; (iii) refrain from doing anything that would or might in its opinion be contrary to any applicable law or directive or otherwise render it liable to any Person and may do anything which is, in its opinion, necessary to comply with any applicable law or directive; (iv) refrain from taking any step (or further step) to protect or enforce the rights of any Secured Party under the Loan Documents until it has been indemnified or secured to its reasonable satisfaction against any and all claims which it would or might sustain or incur as a result; (v) hold any of the Loan Documents and any other related documents with any financial institution or reputable Person whose business includes undertaking the safe custody of documents or any lawyer or firm of lawyers selected by the Australian Security Trustee, and the Australian Security Trustee is not responsible for any claims incurred in connection with the deposit of those documents and may pay all sums required to be paid on account or in respect of any deposit of those documents; (vi) in the conduct of any trust, instead of acting personally, employ and pay an agent, being a lawyer, or other professional person, to transact or conduct, or concur in doing all acts required to be done by the Australian Security Trustee (including the receipt and payment of money); and (vii) appoint further or additional trustees for the purpose of giving valid receipts without being liable for the actions of those trustees.
(m)    The Australian Security Trustee may at any time request (through the Administrative Agent or directly) a Secured Party to provide a statement setting out (i) as at the date of the statement or any other relevant date specified by the Australian Security Trustee, the Secured Obligations owing to such Secured Party; (ii) any other information (including documents) that the Australian Security Trustee may reasonably require in relation to the details and calculations of the amounts under this Section 9.14(m); (iii) if the Australian Security Trustee requests a Secured Party to provide a statement under this Section 9.14(m), the Secured Party must provide that statement within a reasonable time; (iv) the Australian Security Trustee, as between itself and the other Secured Parties, may rely on the statement referred to in this Section 9.14(m)

124




as conclusive evidence of its contents, unless (A) the contrary is proved, or (B) the Australian Security Trustee determines it is not reasonably satisfied as to the correctness of those amounts.
(n)    If the Australian Security Trustee, in its sole discretion, considers that delegation is desirable in assisting the Australian Security Trustee to perform its functions under the Loan Documents, (i) the Australian Security Trustee may delegate to any person or fluctuating body of persons all or any of the duties, trusts, powers, authorities and discretions vested in the Australian Security Trustee under or in connection with the Loan Documents; and (ii) any delegation under this Section 9.14(n) may be (A) by power of attorney or in any other manner as the Australian Security Trustee may think fit; and (B) made on the terms and conditions (including power to sub delegate) as the Australian Security Trustee may think fit (but the terms and conditions must not be inconsistent with any of the provision of the Loan Documents).
(o)    The Australian Security Trustee may (i) rely on any communication or document believed by it to be genuine; (ii) rely, as to any matter of fact that might reasonably be expected to be within the knowledge of a Loan Party, on a statement by or on their behalf; (iii) obtain and pay for legal or other expert advice or services that may to it seem necessary or desirable and rely on that advice; (iv) retain for its own benefit, and without liability to account, any fee or other sum receivable by it for its own account; and (v) accept deposits from, lend money to, provide any advisory or other services to or engage in any kind of banking or other business with any party to the Loan Documents and any Affiliates of any party (and, in each case, may do so without liability to account).
(p)    The Australian Security Trustee, in its capacity as a Secured Party (if applicable), has the same rights under this document as any other Secured Party and may exercise those rights as if it were not acting as Australian Security Trustee.
(q)    The Australian Security Trustee is not (i) responsible for the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any representation, warranty, statement or information in the Loan Documents or any notice or other document delivered under or referred to in the Loan Documents; (ii) responsible for the execution, delivery, validity, legality, adequacy, enforceability or admissibility in evidence of the Loan Documents; or (iii) required to (A) take any action with respect to the Australian PPSA, other than as directed by the Administrative Agent; (B) monitor the Australian PPSA or the implementation of it; (C) obliged to enquire as to the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or Default; (D) under any obligations other than those for which express provision is made in a Loan Document to which it is a party; (E) liable for anything done or not done by it under or in connection with the Loan Documents except in the case of fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Australian Security Trustee or any of its agents or representatives, as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; or (F) liable for anything done or not done by any receiver or manager under or in connection with the Collateral.
(r)    This Agreement and the other Loan Documents only bind the Australian Security Trustee in its capacity as Australian Security Trustee and any obligation of the Australian Security Trustee under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents applies to the Australian Security Trustee in its capacity as Australian Security Trustee.
(s)    No Person to whom the Australian Security Trustee is liable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is entitled to have recourse in satisfaction of such liability to any assets held by the Australian Security Trustee in its personal capacity or in its capacity as trustee of any trust other than the trust established under and pursuant to the Security Trust Deed and clause 9 (Liability of the Security Trustee) of the Australian Security Trust Deed applies to this Agreement mutatis mutandis as if set forth in full herein.

125




The Australian Security Trustee is not liable for any act (or omission) if it acts (or refrains from acting) in accordance with the instructions of Administrative Agent.
(t)    Neither the Australian Security Trustee nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or Affiliates is responsible or liable to any person (i) because a Loan Party does not perform its obligations under the Loan Documents; (ii) for the financial condition of the Loan Parties; (iii) because any statement, representation or warranty in a Loan Document given by a party other than the Australian Security Trustee is incorrect or misleading; (iv) for the effectiveness, genuineness, validity, admissibility in evidence or sufficiency of the Loan Documents or any document signed or delivered in connection with the Loan Documents; (v) for the enforceability of the Loan Documents or any other document signed or delivered in connection with the Loan Documents against any person (other than the Australian Security Trustee); (vi) for any loss or damage occurring as a result of it exercising, failing to exercise or purporting to exercise any right or power under this Agreement or other Loan Documents; (vii) subject to this Agreement; (viii) for the default, negligence or fault of any directors, officers, employees, agents, delegates, attorneys or Affiliates of the Australian Security Trustee; (ix) for any mistake or omission made by it or any directors, officers, employees, agents, delegates, attorneys or Affiliates of the Australian Security Trustee; (x) for any other matter or thing done, or not done, in relation to the Loan Documents; (xi) for any absence of, or defect in title or for its inability to exercise any of its powers under the Loan Documents; (xii) for any failure by a Loan Party to perform its obligations under any Loan Document; (xiii) for acting in accordance with the provisions of any Loan Document to which it is a party; or (xiv) for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of any Loan Document or any certificate or document given under any of them; except to the extent that the act or omission amounts to fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Australian Security Trustee or any directors, officers, employees, agents, delegates, attorneys or Affiliates of the Australian Security Trustee or a gross or willful breach by it of its obligations under this Agreement, as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting this Section 9.14(t) or the terms of the Australian Security Trust Deed, the Australian Security Trustee is not responsible or liable to any Person for anything done or not done in connection with this Agreement and the Australian Security Trust Deed by the Australian Security Trustee or its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or Affiliates except to the extent that the act or omission amounts to fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Australian Security Trustee or a gross or willful breach by it of its obligations under this Agreement and the Australian Security Trust Deed, as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(u)    The Australian Security Trustee (i) subject to the appointment of a successor may, and must if the Administrative Agent requires, retire at any time from its position as Australian Security Trustee under the Loan Documents without assigning any reason, and (ii) must give notice of its intention to retire by giving to the other Secured Parties not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ notice.
(v)    The Administrative Agent may appoint a successor to the Australian Security Trustee, during the period of notice in Section 9.14(u). If no successor is appointed by the Administrative Agent, the Australian Security Trustee (after consulting with Administrative Agent) may appoint its successor. The Secured Parties shall promptly enter into any agreements that the successor may reasonably require to effect its appointment.
(w)    From the date that the appointment of the successor is effected under Section 9.14(v) above, the retiring Australian Security Trustee must be discharged from any further obligations under the Loan Documents as Australian Security Trustee, and the successor to the Australian Security Trustee and each of the other Secured Parties have the same rights and obligations between themselves as they would have had if the successor had been a party to those Loan Documents.

126




(x)    To the extent that the Loan Parties do not do so on demand or are not obliged to do so, each Secured Party must on demand indemnify the Australian Security Trustee against any claims sustained or incurred by the Australian Security Trustee in (i) complying with any instructions from the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties; (ii) otherwise sustained or incurred by it in connection with the Loan Documents or its duties, obligations and responsibilities under the Loan Documents; or (iii) as a result of appointing a receiver or manager under any of the Collateral, except to the extent that the claim is sustained or incurred as a result of the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Australian Security Trustee or any of its representatives, as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. When there are no Secured Obligations (including, anything that is reasonably foreseeable as falling within the definition of Secured Obligations) in relation to any Secured Party and the relevant Secured Party is not committed or obliged to make advances or provide any other financial accommodation to the Loan Parties, the relevant Secured Party ceases to be a Secured Party on notice in writing to that effect from the Administrative Agent and the Australian Security Trustee.

Each Secured Party hereby:

(e)    without limiting the general application of (a) above, for consideration received, irrevocably appoints as its attorney each Person who under the terms of the Australian Security Trust Deed is appointed an attorney of a Beneficiary (as defined in the Australian Security Trust Deed) on the same terms and for the same purposes as contained in the Australian Security Trust Deed.

(H)    [reserved];

Section 10.3
No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.
(a)    No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or Parent Guarantors or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.1 for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) each Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (ii) [reserved], (iii) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.7(a) or (b), as applicable (subject to the terms of Section 10.7(a)), or (iv) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law.

(b)    to pay or reimburse each Lender and each Agent for all their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents referred to in Section 10.5(a) above (including all such costs and expenses incurred in connection with any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or in connection with any workout or restructuring), including the documented fees and disbursements of a single firm of counsel and, if necessary, a single firm of special regulatory counsel and a single firm of local counsel per material jurisdiction as may reasonably be necessary, for the Agents and the Lenders, taken as a whole (and one additional firm of counsel and, if necessary, a single firm of special regulatory counsel and a single firm of local counsel per material jurisdiction as may be reasonably necessary, for the Specified Lender (if any)) and, in the event of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, where the Agent or Lender affected by such conflict informs the Borrower and thereafter retains its own counsel, one additional counsel for each Lender or Agent or group of Lenders or Agents subject to such conflict; and
(c)    to pay, indemnify or reimburse each Lender, each Agent, each Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and their respective partners that are natural persons, members that are natural persons, officers, directors, employees, trustees, advisors, agents and controlling Persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) for, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, costs, expenses or disbursements arising out of any actions, judgments or suits of any kind or nature whatsoever, arising out of or in connection with any claim, action or proceeding (any of the foregoing, a “Proceeding”) relating to or otherwise with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents referred to in Section 10.5(a) above and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of any Loan Party or Parent Guarantor or any of their Property and the reasonable fees and disbursements and other charges of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against the Borrower hereunder (all the foregoing in this clause (c), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”);
provided, that, the Borrower shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities have resulted from (i) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or its Related Persons as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision (or settlement tantamount thereto), (ii) a material breach of the Loan Documents by such Indemnitee or its Related Persons as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision (or settlement tantamount thereto), (iii) disputes solely among Indemnitees or their Related Persons and not arising from any act or omission by any Parent Guarantor or Loan Party (it being understood that this clause (iii) shall not apply to the indemnification of an Agent or a Lead Arranger in a suit involving an Agent or a Lead Arranger, in each

134




case, in its capacity as such, unless such suit has resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Agent or Lead Arranger as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision (or settlement tantamount thereto)) or (iv) any settlement of any Proceeding effected without the Borrower’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), but if settled with the Borrower’s written consent or if there is a judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction in any such Proceeding, the Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 10.5.
No Indemnitee referred to above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other material distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
For purposes hereof, a “Related Person” of an Indemnitee means (i) if the Indemnitee is any Agent or any of its Affiliates or their respective partners that are natural persons, members that are natural persons, officers, directors, employees, agents and controlling Persons, any of such Agent and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and controlling Persons; provided, that solely for purposes of Section 9, references to each Agent’s Related Persons shall also include such Agent’s trustees and advisors, and (ii) if the Indemnitee is any Lender or any of its Affiliates or their respective partners that are natural persons, members that are natural persons, officers, directors, employees, agents and controlling Persons, any of such Lender and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and controlling Persons. All amounts due under this Section 10.5 shall be payable promptly after receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor.

The agreements in this Section 10.5 shall survive repayment of the Obligations.
Section 10.6
Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.
(a)    The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) no Loan Party or Parent Guarantor may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by such Loan Party or Parent Guarantor without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) subject to Sections 2.24, no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 10.6.
(b)    %3.    Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may, in compliance with applicable law, assign (other than to any Disqualified Institution or a natural person) to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”), all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, it being understood that it shall be deemed reasonable for the Borrower to withhold such consent in respect of a prospective Lender if the Borrower reasonably believes such prospective Lender would constitute a Disqualified Institution) of:
(A)    the Borrower; provided, that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment of (x) Term Loans to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund of a Lender, (y) any Loan or Commitment if an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a) or 8.1(f) has occurred and is continuing, any other Person or (z) in connection with the initial syndication of the Initial Term Loans to the Lenders identified previously to the Borrower

135




by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that a consent under this clause (A) shall be deemed given if the Borrower shall not have objected in writing to a proposed assignment within ten Business Days after receipt by it of a written notice thereof from the Administrative Agent; and
(B)    the Administrative Agent; provided, that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.
(ii)    Subject to Sections 2.24, assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A)    except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of (I) the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or (II) if earlier, the “trade date” (if any) specified in such Assignment and Assumption) shall not be less than €1,000,000 unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided, that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a) or 8.1(f) has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;
(B)    the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (or, at the Borrower’s request, manually) together with a processing and recordation fee of €3,500 to be paid by either the applicable assignor or assignee (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent); provided, that only one such fee shall be payable in the case of contemporaneous assignments to or by two or more related Approved Funds; and
(C)    the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire and all applicable tax forms.
For the purposes of this Section 10.6, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered or managed by (I) a Lender, (II) an Affiliate of a Lender, (III) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender or (IV) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that is the investment advisor to a Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be permitted to make assignments under this Agreement to any Disqualified Institutions without the written consent of the Borrower.
(iii)    Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such

136




Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be subject to the obligations under and entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20, 2.21, 10.5 and 10.14). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 10.6 (and will be required to comply therewith), other than any sale to a Disqualified Institution, which shall be null and void.
(iv)    The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement (and the entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error for such purposes), notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(v)    Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee (except as contemplated by Sections 2.24), the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and all applicable tax forms, the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.6 (unless waived by the Administrative Agent) and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and promptly record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
(c)    %3.    Any Lender may, without the consent of any Person, in compliance with applicable law, sell participations (other than to any Disqualified Institution) to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”), in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided, that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 10.1 and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 10.6, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20 and 2.21 (if such Participant agrees to have related obligations thereunder (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.20 shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 10.6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be permitted to sell participations under this Agreement to any Disqualified Institutions without the written consent of the Borrower.

137




(i)    A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent to such greater amounts. No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.20 unless such Participant complies with Section 2.20(e), (g) or (j), as (and to the extent) applicable, as if such Participant were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.20 shall be delivered to the participating Lender).
(ii)    Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a register on which it enters the name and addresses of each Participant, and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that the relevant parties, acting reasonably and in good faith, determine that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) and Proposed Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Treasury Regulations (or any amended or successor version). Unless otherwise required by the IRS, any disclosure required by the foregoing sentence shall be made by the relevant Lender directly and solely to the IRS. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (it its capacity as such) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(d)    Any Lender may, without the consent of or notice to the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority, and this Section 10.6 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided, that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(e)    The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring the same (in the case of an assignment, following surrender by the assigning Lender of all Notes representing its assigned interests).
(f)    The Borrower may prohibit any assignment if it would require the Borrower to make any filing with any Governmental Authority or qualify any Loan or Note under the laws of any jurisdiction and the Borrower shall be entitled to request and receive such information and assurances as it may reasonably request from any Lender or any Assignee to determine whether any such filing or qualification is required or whether any assignment is otherwise in accordance with applicable law.
(g)    [reserved].
(h)    [reserved].

138




(i)    None of the Sponsor, any Affiliate thereof, Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries may acquire by assignment, participation or otherwise any right to or interest in any of the Commitments or Loans hereunder (and any such attempted acquisition shall be null and void).
(j)    [reserved].
(k)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the replacement of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.24 shall be deemed an assignment pursuant to Section 10.6(b) and shall be valid and in full force and effect for all purposes under this Agreement.
(l)    Any assignor of a Loan or Commitment or seller of a participation hereunder shall be entitled to rely conclusively on a representation of the assignee Lender or purchaser of such participation in the relevant Assignment and Assumption or participation agreement, as applicable, that such assignee or purchaser is not a Disqualified Institution. None of the Lead Arrangers or the Agents shall have any responsibility or liability for monitoring the list or identities of, or enforcing provisions relating to, Disqualified Institutions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution.
Section 10.7
Adjustments; Set off.
(a)    Except to the extent that this Agreement provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by setoff, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8.1(f), or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Obligations, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Obligations, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that (i) if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest and (ii) the provisions of this Section 10.7 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Loan Party or a Parent Guarantor pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant.
(b)    In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to any Loan Party, any such notice being expressly waived by such Loan Party to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by such Loan Party hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) after the expiration of any cure or grace periods, to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but excluding trust accounts), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any Affiliate, branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of such Loan Party. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower

139




and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
Section 10.8
Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tiff”) transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
Section 10.9
Severability.
Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 10.10

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Parent Guarantors, the Loan Parties, the Agents and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS TO THE EXTENT THAT THE SAME ARE NOT MANDATORILY APPLICABLE BY STATUTE AND THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.
Section 10.12
Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers.
Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:
(a)    submits for itself and its Property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York (the “New York Supreme Court”), and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Federal District Court” and, together with the New York Supreme Court, the “New York Courts”), and appellate courts from either of them; provided, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or operate to preclude (i) any Agent from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations (in which case any party shall be entitled to assert any claim or defense, including any claim or defense that this Section 10.12 would otherwise require to be asserted in a legal action or proceeding in a New York Court), or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, (ii) any party from bringing any legal action or proceeding in any jurisdiction for the recognition and enforcement of any judgment and (iii) if all such New York Courts decline jurisdiction over any person, or decline (or in the case of the Federal District Court, lack) jurisdiction over any subject matter of such action

140




or proceeding, a legal action or proceeding may be brought with respect thereto in another court having jurisdiction;
(b)    consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in the New York Courts and appellate courts from either of them, and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

Section 10.15
Release of Collateral and Guarantee Obligations; Subordination of Liens.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, in connection with any Disposition of Property (including by way of transfer, directly or indirectly, of the Capital Stock of any Loan Party) not prohibited by the Loan Documents and, upon notice to the Administrative Agent in connection with such Disposition (other than a Disposition of Inventory in the ordinary course of business and Accounts pursuant to Section 7.5(e)), all Liens and Guarantees on such assets shall automatically terminate and the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver all releases reasonably necessary or desirable (i) to evidence the release of Liens created in any Collateral being Disposed of, directly or indirectly, in such Disposition, (ii) to provide notices of the termination of the assignment of any Property for which an assignment had been made pursuant to any of the Loan Documents which is being Disposed of, directly or indirectly, in such Disposition and (iii) to release the Guarantee and any other obligations under any Loan Document of any Person being Disposed of in such Disposition. Any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Loan Document relating to any such Property so Disposed of (other than Property Disposed of to a Loan Party) shall no longer be deemed to be repeated once such Property is so Disposed of. In addition, upon the reasonable request of the Borrower in connection with (A) any Lien of the type permitted by Section 7.3(g) on Collateral (other than Borrowing Base Collateral or proceeds thereof) to secure Indebtedness to be incurred pursuant to Section 7.2(c) (or pursuant to Section 7.2(d) or 7.2(j) if such Indebtedness is of the type that is contemplated by Section 7.2(c)) if the holder of such Lien so requires, (B) any Lien securing Indebtedness pursuant to Section 7.2(t)(x) if the holder of such Lien so requires and pursuant to Section 7.2(t)(y) if the holder of such Lien so requires and if the holder of the applicable Indebtedness being refinanced also so requires, and in each case to the extent not constituting Borrowing Base Collateral (or proceeds thereof) and (C) any Lien of the type permitted by Sections 7.3(o) or 7.3(t), in each case, to the extent the obligations giving rise to such permitted Lien prohibit (or require the release of) the security interest of the Collateral Agent thereon and so long as such cash subject to such Lien is not included in the definition of Qualified Cash after giving effect thereto, the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver all releases necessary or desirable to evidence that no Liens exist on such assets under the Loan Documents.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, when all Obligations (other than any contingent or indemnification obligations not then due) have been paid in full, all Commitments have terminated or expired, upon the request of the Borrower, all Liens and Guarantee Obligations under any Loan Documents shall automatically terminate and the Collateral Agent shall take

144




such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all Guarantee Obligations under any Loan Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be contingent or indemnification obligations not then due. Any such release of Guarantee Obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such Guarantee Obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its Property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, upon request of the Borrower in connection with any Liens permitted by the Loan Documents, the Collateral Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender) take such actions as shall be required to subordinate the Lien on any Collateral to any Lien permitted under Section 7.3. Additionally, upon request of the Borrower, the Collateral Agent shall take such actions as shall be reasonably required or appropriate to implement or give effect to the terms of the Agreed Security Principles (including the release of liens granted under the laws of one jurisdiction substantially concurrently with the granting of liens under the laws of another jurisdiction with respect to the same assets).
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, subject to satisfaction of the Loan Party Release Conditions, upon request of the Borrower to release a Loan Party (other than a Borrower) and/or a Parent Guarantor, all Liens and Guarantees on all assets of such former Loan Party or Parent Guarantor (and Capital Stock of such former Loan Party owned by another Parent Guarantor or Loan Party) shall automatically terminate and the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver all releases reasonably necessary or desirable (i) to evidence the release of Liens created in any Property of such former Loan Party or Parent Guarantor (and such Capital Stock), as applicable, (ii) to provide notices of the termination of the assignment of any Property of such former Loan Party or Parent Guarantor (and such Capital Stock), as applicable, and (iii) to release the Guarantee and any other obligations under any Loan Document of such former Loan Party or Parent Guarantor, as applicable.

Section 10.16
Accounting Changes.
In the event that any Accounting Change (as defined below) shall occur and such change results in a change in the method of calculation of financial ratios, covenants, standards or terms in this Agreement, then following notice either from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower (which the Administrative Agent shall give at the request of the Required Lenders), the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions of this Agreement so as to equitably reflect such Accounting Changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the Borrower’s financial condition and covenant capacities shall be the same after such Accounting Changes as if such Accounting Changes had not been made. If any such notices are given then, regardless of whether such notice is given prior to or following such Accounting Change, until such time as such an amendment shall have been executed and delivered by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders and have become effective, all financial ratios, covenants, standards and terms in this Agreement shall continue to be calculated or construed as if such Accounting Changes had not occurred. Any amendment contemplated by the prior sentence shall become effective upon the consent of the Required Lenders, it being understood that a Lender shall be deemed to have consented to and executed such amendment if such Lender has not objected in writing within five Business Days following receipt of notice of execution

145




of the applicable amendment by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, it being understood that the posting of an amendment referred to in the preceding sentence electronically on the Platform to the Lenders shall be deemed adequate receipt of notice of such amendment. “Accounting Changes” refers to changes in accounting principles required by the promulgation of any rule, regulation, pronouncement or opinion by the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or, if applicable, the SEC, in each case, occurring after the Closing Date, including any change to IFRS contemplated by the definition of “GAAP.” Without limiting the foregoing, for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement, the determination of whether a lease is to be treated as an operating lease or capital lease shall be made without giving effect to any change in accounting for leases pursuant to GAAP resulting from the implementation of proposed Accounting Standards Update (ASU) Leases (Topic 840) issued August 17, 2010, or any successor proposal.

(c)    Without limiting or affecting the Collateral Agent’s rights against any Loan Party (whether under this Section 11.1 or under any other provision of the Loan Documents or in respect of any Obligations), the Collateral Agent agrees with each other Secured Party (on a several and divided basis) that, under each Security Document, it will not exercise its rights under this Section 11.1 in connection with the payment the Parallel Debt Obligations in respect of the Principal Obligations owing to a Secured Party except with the consent of the relevant Secured Party. However, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the previous sentence shall in any way limit the Collateral Agent’s right to act in the protection or preservation of rights under any Security Documents or to enforce any Collateral as contemplated by this Agreement, the relevant Security Document or any other Loan Document or in respect of any Obligations (or to do any act reasonably incidental to the foregoing).

152




(d)    All monies received or recovered by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 11.1, and all amounts received or recovered by the Collateral Agent from or by the enforcement of any Lien granted to secure the Parallel Debt Obligations, in each case with respect to the Collateral, shall be applied in accordance with the relevant Security Document and the order of application provisions as set out in this Agreement.
(e)    For the purpose of this Section 11.1, the Collateral Agent acts in its own name and not as an agent or representative of the Secured Parties, and the Parallel Debt Obligations shall be owed to the Collateral Agent in its own name and not as an agent or representative of the Secured Parties.
(f)    In no event will “parallel debt” provisions set out in this Section 11.1 apply to Security Documents governed by the laws of Italy or Spain.
Section 11.2
Contracting Out of the Australian PPSA Provisions.
Where a Secured Party has a security interest (as defined in the Australian PPSA) under any Loan Document, to the extent the law permits:
(a)    for the purposes of Sections 115(1) and 115(7) of the Australian PPSA:
(i)    the Secured Party with the benefit of the security interest need not comply with Sections 95, 118, 121(4), 125, 130, 132(3)(d) or 132(4) of the Australian PPSA; and
(ii)    Sections 142 and 143 of the Australian PPSA are excluded;
(b)    for the purposes of Section 115(7) of the Australian PPSA, the Secured Party with the benefit of the security interest need not comply with Sections 132 and 137(3);
(c)    each party to this Agreement waives its right to receive from a Secured Party any notice required under the Australian PPSA (including a notice of a verification statement);
(d)    if a Secured Party with the benefit of a security interest exercises a right, power or remedy in connection with it, that exercise is taken not to be an exercise of a right, power or remedy under the Australian PPSA unless such Secured Party states otherwise at the time of exercise. However, this clause does not apply to a right, power or remedy which can only be exercised under the Australian PPSA; and
(e)    if the Australian PPSA is amended to permit the parties to this Agreement to agree not to comply with or to exclude other provisions of the Australian PPSA, the Administrative Agent may notify the Borrower and the Secured Party that any of these provisions is excluded, or that the Secured Party need not comply with any of these provisions.
This section does not affect any rights a person has or would have other than by reason of the Australian PPSA and applies despite any other clause in any Loan Document.
Section 11.3
PPSA Further Assurances.
Whenever the Administrative Agent reasonably requests a Loan Party or Parent Guarantor to do anything:

153




(a)    to ensure any Loan Document (or any security interest (as defined in the Australian PPSA) or other Lien under any Loan Document) is fully effective, enforceable and perfected with the contemplated priority;
(b)    for more satisfactorily assuring or securing to the Secured Parties the property the subject of any such security interest or other Lien in a manner consistent with the Loan Documents; or
(c)    for aiding the exercise of any power in any Loan Document,
the Loan Party or Parent Guarantor, as applicable, shall do it promptly at its own cost. This may include obtaining consents, signing documents, getting documents completed and signed and supplying information, delivering documents and evidence of title and executed blank transfers, or otherwise giving possession or control with respect to any property (other than in respect of “circulating assets”, as defined in the Australian PPSA, which are the subject of any Lien granted pursuant to the Featherweight Security Deed or otherwise where the giving of such possession or control would be inconsistent with the Agreed Security Principles or the terms of the relevant Security Documents) the subject of any security interest or Lien.
Section 11.4
Executive Privilege
(a)    This Agreement and, at the discretion of the Agent or any other Lender (as well as any amendments hereto or thereto) shall be formalised in a Spanish Public Document, so that it may have the status of a notarial document of loan for all purposes contemplated in Article 517, number 4 of the Spanish Civil Procedural Law.
(b)    Upon enforcement, the sum payable by any Spanish Loan Party or Spanish Parent Guarantor shall be the total aggregate amount of the balance of the accounts maintained by the Agent (or the relevant Lender, as the case may be). For the purposes of Articles 571 et seq. of the Spanish Civil Procedural Law, the parties expressly agree that such balances shall be considered as due, liquid and payable and may be claimed pursuant to the same provisions of such law.
(c)    For the purpose of the provisions of Art. 571 et seq. of the Spanish Civil Procedural Law, it is expressly agreed by the parties that the determination of the debt to be claimed through the executive proceedings shall be effected by the Agent (or the relevant Lender, as the case may be) by means of the appropriate certificate evidencing the balances shown in the relevant account(s) referred to in paragraph above. By virtue of the foregoing, to exercise executive action by the Agent or any of the Lenders it will be sufficient to present (i) an original notarial first or authentic copy of this Agreement, (ii) a notarial certificate, if necessary, for the purposes described in paragraph (d) below, (iii) the notarial document (“acta notarial”) which incorporates the certificate issued by the Agent (or the relevant Lender, as the case may be) of the amount due by a Spanish Loan Party or Spanish Parent Guarantor including an excerpt of the credits and debits, including the interest applied, which appear in the relevant account(s) referred to in paragraph (b) above, evidencing that the determination of the amounts due and payable by a Spanish Loan Party and Spanish Parent Guarantor have been calculated as agreed in this Agreement and that such amounts coincide with the balance of such accounts, and (iv) a notarial document (“acta notarial”) evidencing that the Spanish Loan Parties and Spanish Parent Guarantors have been served notice of the amount that is due and payable.
(d)    Paragraph above is also applicable to any Lender with regard to its Commitment. Such Lender may issue an appropriate certification of the balances of the relevant account(s) referred to in paragraph above and certification of the balances of such accounts shall be legalised by a notary.

154




(e)    The amount of the balances so established shall be notified to the Spanish Loan Parties and Spanish Parent Guarantors in an attestable manner at least three (3) days in advance of exercising the executive action set out above.
(f)    The Spanish Loan Parties and the Spanish Parent Guarantors expressly authorise the Agent (and each Lender, as appropriate) to request and obtain certificates and documents issued by the notary who has formalised this Agreement in order to evidence its compliance with the entries of his registry-book and the relevant entry date for the purpose of number 4 of Article 517, of the Civil Procedural Law. The cost of such certificate and documents will be for the account of the Spanish Loan Parties and Spanish Parent Guarantors in the manner provided under this Agreement.
(g)    For the purposes of article 540.2 of the Spanish Civil Procedural Law, the Spanish Loan Parties and the Spanish Parent Guarantors acknowledge and accept that any assignment, transfer or change of Lenders shall be duly and sufficiently evidenced to any Spanish court by means of a certificate issued by the Agent confirming who the Lenders are in each moment, and therefore, those who are certified as Lenders by the Agent shall be able to initiate enforcement in Spain through “procedimiento ejecutivo” without further evidence being required.
(h)    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.27 (Submission To Jurisdiction) but subject to Section 10.3(b), none of the Lenders will be prevented from initiating enforcement proceedings before the Spanish courts against the Spanish Loan Parties and the Spanish Parent Guarantors, which is hereby expressly acknowledged and accepted by the Spanish Loan Parties and the Spanish Parent Guarantors.

Schedule 1.1(a)
Agreed Security Principles
1.
SCOPE OF COLLATERAL
(a)
Pursuant to the Loan Documents and subject to these Agreed Security Principles and except as set forth on Schedule 6.10, the Collateral to be provided under the Loan Documents shall consist of:
(i)
all inventory of each Loan Party (except to the extent that none of the inventory of such Loan Party may contribute to any Borrowing Base (or components thereof));
(ii)
all receivables of each Loan Party (except to the extent that none of the receivables of such Loan Party may contribute to any Borrowing Base (or components thereof) or receivables Disposed of pursuant to Section 7.5(e));
(iii)
all proceeds loans or any other intercompany loans resulting from the proceeds of the Term Loans (the “Intercompany Proceeds Loans”) or other intercompany loans and held by any Loan Party, including any intercompany loans with Revlon, in each case in excess of €500,000;
(iv)
all of the Capital Stock in each Loan Party, except for (A) the Capital Stock in any Parent Guarantor (as defined below) and (B) any equity pledge to the extent such pledge would be restricted by the existing debt documents of RCPC (including all such Capital Stock directly owned by an entity that is a guarantor under such debt documents); provided, that, with respect to this clause (B), the Borrowers and the Parent Guarantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, within 90 days after the Closing Date and subject to the absence of material adverse tax consequences, restructure the ownership of such entities such that their Capital Stock can be pledged;
(v)
all material operating bank accounts of each Loan Party, including all bank accounts into which eligible receivables payments are made; and
(vi)
the following material assets: (A) promissory chattel mortgage (promesa de hipoteca mobiliaria) with respect to the trademarks and machinery and equipment held by Beautyge, S.L.U. (“Other Material Spanish Collateral”), (B) specific security from each of the Australian Loan Parties (consisting of assets described in paragraphs (i) to (v) above, as applicable), and (C) a featherweight security interest over the whole of the assets of each of the Australian Loan Parties.
(b)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no assets of the Parent Guarantors shall be required to be pledged other than the Capital Stock referred to in paragraph 1(a)(iv) above and Intercompany Proceeds Loans referred to in 1(a)(iii) above, if any.






2.
GENERAL PRINCIPLES
(a)
The guarantees and Collateral to be provided by any non-U.S. entity under the Loan Documents will be given in accordance with the security principles set out herein. For the avoidance of doubt, these Agreed Security Principles will not regulate the scope of guarantees or security to be granted by entities organized in the United States and governed by U.S. loan documentation.
(b)
The Agreed Security Principles embody recognition by all parties that there may be certain legal and practical difficulties in obtaining effective or commercially reasonable guarantees and/or Collateral from all relevant Loan Parties and Parent Guarantors in each jurisdiction in which it has been agreed that guarantees and Collateral will be granted by those members. In particular:
(i)
general legal and statutory limitations (including the guarantee limitations language set out in the Loan Documents with respect to the jurisdiction which they refer to), regulatory restrictions, financial assistance (including under Sections 2358 and/or 2474 of the Italian Civil Code), corporate benefit, fraudulent preference, equitable subordination, foreign exchange laws or regulations (or analogous restrictions), transfer pricing or thin capitalization, earnings stripping, controlled foreign corporation, exchange control restrictions and capital maintenance rules, tax restrictions, retention of title claims, employee consultation or approval requirements and similar principles under any applicable law may preclude the ability of a Loan Party or Parent Guarantor to provide a guarantee or Collateral or may require that the guarantee or Collateral be limited as to amount or otherwise and, if so, the guarantee or Collateral will be limited accordingly;
(ii)
the Loan Parties and Parent Guarantors having their registered office in Italy will use reasonable endeavours to demonstrate that adequate corporate benefit accrues to the relevant Guarantor (which may be satisfied, among other things, in whole or in part, by the payment of a guarantee fee) and to overcome any such other limitations to the extent reasonably practicable;
(iii)
a key factor in determining whether or not Collateral will be taken (and the extent of its perfection and/or registration), which shall inform all other Agreed Security Principles, is the applicable time and cost (including adverse effects on taxes, interest deductibility, stamp duty, registration taxes, registration fees, legal fees, notarial costs or any other fees, costs, commissions or expenses directly associated with the granting of the Collateral) which will not be disproportionate to the benefit accruing to the Lenders and other Secured Parties of obtaining such Collateral;
(iv)
any assets subject to a legal requirement, contracts, leases, licences or other third party arrangement which may prevent or condition those assets from being charged, secured or being subject to the applicable Security Document or guarantee from being provided (including requiring a consent of any third party, minority shareholders, supervisory board or works council (or equivalent)) in each case, (A) to the extent such prohibitions or restrictions are effective under applicable law and (B) only to the extent not created in contemplation of the grant hereunder; and any

2




assets which, if subject to the applicable Security Document or guarantee, would give a third party the right to terminate or otherwise amend any rights, benefits and/or obligations with respect to any Loan Party in respect of those assets; or require the grantors to take any action materially adverse to the interests of any Loan Party or Parent Guarantor, shall be excluded from a guarantee or Security Document;
(v)
the granting of Collateral or the perfection of security interests will not be required in a manner such that it would have a material adverse effect on the ability of the relevant Loan Party or Parent Guarantor to conduct its operations and business in the ordinary course as otherwise not prohibited by the Loan Documents (including dealing with the secured assets and all contractual counterparties or amending, waiving or terminating (or allowing to lapse) any rights, benefits or obligations, in each prior to a Declared Default (as defined below);
(vi)
the maximum guaranteed and/or secured amount shall be limited to minimize stamp duty, notarization, registration or other applicable fees, taxes and duties where the cost of increasing the guaranteed and/or secured amount is disproportionate in relation to the value afforded thereby, including the likely value of the asset in an enforcement process, taking into account the level of such taxes and duties;
(vii)
unless otherwise necessary under local law as expressly set forth in the relevant Loan Document, there should be no action required to be taken in relation to the guarantees or Collateral when any Lender assigns or transfers any of its participation in the Facility to a new Lender, and no Loan Party or Parent Guarantor shall bear or otherwise be liable for any taxes, any notarial, registration or perfection fees or any other costs, fees or expenses that result from any assignment or transfer by a Lender;
(viii)
all guarantees and Collateral will be given in favor of the Collateral Agent (or Australian Security Trustee) and not the Lenders individually (with the Collateral Agent (or Australian Security Trustee) to hold one set of Security Documents for all the Lenders) (except as otherwise necessary under local law as expressly set forth in the relevant Loan Documents); customary “parallel debt” provisions will be used where necessary (and included in this Agreement and not the individual Security Documents); provided that, in no event will “parallel debt” provisions apply to Security Documents governed by Spanish or Italian law;
(ix)
any Security Document will only be required to be notarized if required by law in order for the relevant Lien to become enforceable, perfected or admissible in evidence;
(x)
no title insurance will be required;
(xi)
the Secured Parties will not be able to exercise any set-off granted to them under the terms of the Loan Documents except as permitted under Section 10.7 of this Agreement;
(xii)
if in a jurisdiction Collateral over an asset or a class of assets can be taken by way of an undisclosed document and by way of a disclosed document, Collateral

3




shall be taken by way of an undisclosed document if a disclosed document does not result in a material increase (relative to an undisclosed document) in the scope of, or the qualities, strength, priority or enforcement of Liens over, such asset;
(xiii)
if in a jurisdiction, Collateral over an asset or a class of assets can be taken by way of a registered document or by way of an unregistered document, Collateral shall be taken by way of an unregistered document if a registered document does not result in a material increase (relative to an unregistered document) in the scope of, or the qualities, strength, priority, perfection or enforcement of liens over, such asset;
(xiv)
where possible, the Security Documents governed by the laws of Italy will be executed by way of exchange of correspondence (scambio di corrispondenza commerciale);
(xv)
(A) to the extent that a valid and enforceable security interest having the requisite priority can be taken on substantially all of the intended Collateral in any Security Jurisdiction on a generic basis without listing any individual assets, no specific listing shall be required, and (B) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Security Documents shall not include or require a listing of any assets unless the absence of such listing would render the security interest therein invalid, unenforceable or would otherwise result in the inability to perfect the security interest created thereunder; and
(xvi)
except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, no notices shall be required to be sent to third-party debtors or other contractual third parties prior to a Declared Default that is continuing (or in the case of a Security Document that is governed by Dutch law, prior to a Liquidity Event Period or Event of Default, in each case, that is continuing).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Spanish Parent Guarantors and Spanish Loan Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to permit the facility to qualify under the insolvency safe harbour under Section 71, bis.1 of the Spanish Insolvency Act. This action will not qualify as an “acuerdo de homologación” or an “acuerdo de refinanciación” as per clause 1.5 (Spanish Terms), paragraph (c), of the Credit Agreement.
For the avoidance of doubt, no assets that are excluded from the Security constituted by the Security Documents (or where such assets remain unperfected) for any reason shall be eligible for inclusion in the applicable Borrowing Base.
3.
GUARANTORS AND SECURITY
(a)
Pursuant to the Loan Documents and subject to these Agreed Security Principles, without prejudice to the guarantee limitations language set out in the Loan Documents with respect to the jurisdiction which they refer to, the Obligations of the Borrowers and each other Loan Party under the Loan Documents are unconditionally guaranteed by each of the following (the “Guarantors”):

(A) Elizabeth Arden España, S.L.U., (B) Beautyge, S.L.U. and (C) Beautyge Logistics Services, S.L.U.;

(vii)
any other entities (provided they are not guarantors under the existing debt documents of Revlon) owning an equity interest in each Borrower and/or Guarantor (other than any Guarantor that is a Guarantor solely because of this clause (vii)), to the extent that such equity interests shall be pledged in accordance with the Agreed Security Principles (each, a “Parent Guarantor”), provided that the guarantee of such Parent Guarantor shall be limited recourse to such Capital Stock so pledged; and
(viii)
at the request of the Borrowers, any other entities incorporated in a jurisdiction reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent that do not guarantee U.S. indebtedness of Revlon (such jurisdiction, an “Additional Jurisdiction”).
(b)
[Reserved].
(c)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the guarantees described in paragraph 3(a) above shall be limited as follows:
(i)
in the case of Germany, as of any date, the guarantees by (A) Elizabeth Arden GmbH and (B) Beautyge Germany GmbH shall, in each case, be limited in value to the Euro Equivalent of the aggregate of (x) the then-outstanding aggregate principal amount of proceeds of the Facility on-lent to such entity, if any; and (y) (after pro forma deducting the then-outstanding the aggregate principal amount of proceeds of the Facility on-lent to such entity, if any) the amount of the free distributable assets of such entity, as set forth in the then most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.2(d) or 6.2(g) of this Agreement, subject to the terms of the applicable limitation language set out in the relevant Loan Document;
(ii)
in the case of Italy, without prejudice to any other limitation provided for under the Loan Documents, the obligation of the Italian Loan Party or an Italian Parent Guarantor to guarantee the prompt and complete payment when due and performance by the Borrowers and each other Loan Party and Parent Guarantor (which are not Subsidiaries of such Italian Loan Party or such Italian Parent Guarantor, as applicable) of the Secured Obligations, shall not exceed an amount equal to the aggregate of:
a.
any principal amount outstanding under any Facility advanced directly to the Italian Loan Party or Italian Parent Guarantor, as applicable, and/or any of its Subsidiaries as Borrower under this Agreement;

5




b.
any principal amount outstanding under any Proceeds Loan advanced by any Borrower or other Loan Party or Parent Guarantor directly to such Italian Loan Party, such Italian Parent Guarantor and/or any of its Subsidiaries; and/or
c.
any amount paid by any Borrower or other Loan Party or Parent Guarantor to such Italian Loan Party or such Italian Parent Guarantor as a guarantee fee.
(d)
For the avoidance of doubt, as of the Closing Date, none of (A) Européenne de Produits de Beauté S.A.S., (B) Beautyge France S.A.S. or (C) any other entity incorporated in France shall be Guarantors.
4.
GOVERNING LAW AND SCOPE
(a)
Guarantees and Collateral will be provided only by Loan Parties and Parent Guarantors incorporated in the following jurisdictions: Australia, Bermuda, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, the United States and any Additional Jurisdiction (the “Security Jurisdictions”).
(b)
All Security Documents (other than as otherwise set forth in this paragraph 4(b)) shall be governed by the law of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the applicable grantor of the Collateral or, in the case of any pledged equity interest, the jurisdiction of organization of the issuance of such equity interest, provided that, to the extent assets of such grantor constituting Collateral are located in another Security Jurisdiction, the applicable Security Documents shall be governed by the law of, and secure only assets located in, such Security Jurisdiction; and no action in relation to Collateral (including any perfection step, further assurance step, filing or registration) will be required in jurisdictions other than Security Jurisdictions. All guarantees shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York. Collateral over the Capital Stock of any Loan Party shall be governed by the law of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Loan Party whose Capital Stock is being pledged; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, Collateral over the Capital Stock of any Loan Party organized in the United States shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent may request that local-law perfection requirements be satisfied with respect to receivables owed by account debtors organized in non-Security Jurisdictions.
(c)
Subject to (or to the extent permitted by) applicable law, the terms of the Security Documents shall secure the obligations secured thereunder as such obligations (and/or this Agreement or other Loan Documents) may be amended, amended and restated, supplemented, replaced, renewed, restructured, extended, refunded, refinanced or otherwise modified from time to time (including, without limitation, where such transactions result in any increases or decreases of the principal amount of the secured obligations, any extensions of maturity, any changes in interest rates or other economic terms, or any changes in the secured parties, lenders or lenders’ agents) so as to minimize the need for any additional Security Documents, amendments, reaffirmations or other actions with respect to such Security Documents in connection with the foregoing.

5.
TERMS OF SECURITY DOCUMENTS AND GUARANTEES
The following principles will be reflected in the terms of any Collateral taken, or guarantee given, in connection with the Facility:
(a)
Unless required otherwise under applicable law, collateral will not be enforceable and will not crystalize until the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have given notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Grantor or Grantors (which notice shall not be required if an Event of Default under clause (i) or (ii) of Section 8.1(f) of the Credit Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing) (solely for the purpose of these Agreed Security Principles, a “Declared Default”), and any rights over the Collateral shall only pass to the Collateral Agent at such time; provided, that the Collateral Agent may exercise cash dominion pursuant to Section 2.8(e) and (f) of this Agreement over all material bank accounts, upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event Period and, with respect to the Qualified Cash Account, during a Qualified Cash Sweep Period (irrespective of whether there is an Event of Default or Declared Default).
(b)
Unless required otherwise under applicable law, the Collateral Agent will only be able to exercise a power of attorney following the occurrence of a Declared Default which is continuing;
(c)
guarantees and Security Documents should only operate to create guarantees or security rather than to impose new commercial obligations or a repeat of clauses in other Loan Documents; accordingly (i) they should not contain additional representations and warranties, conditions, covenants or indemnities (including, without limitation, in respect of insurance, information, maintenance or protection of assets or the payment of costs or expenses) unless these are the same as those contained in this Agreement or are required for, or pertinent to, the creation of such guarantee or the creation, perfection or priority of Collateral, the enforcement thereof or the extension of such guarantee or Collateral to new assets (replacing, modifying or increasing the charged assets); and (ii) nothing in any guarantee or Security Document shall (or be construed to) prohibit any transaction, matter or other step (or a chargor taking or entering the same) or dealing in any manner whatsoever in relation to any asset (including all rights, claims benefits, proceeds and documentation, and contractual counterparties in relation thereto) the subject of (or expressed to be the subject of) the guarantee or security agreement if not prohibited by the terms of the other Loan Documents;
(d)
each guarantee and Security Document should contain a clause which records that if there is a conflict between the guarantee or Security Document and this Agreement then (to the extent permitted by law and to the extent it would not prejudice the creation, priority, perfection, validity or enforceability of the Collateral created under the Security Documents) the provisions of this Agreement (including the Agreed Security Principles) will take priority over the provisions of the guarantee or Security Document;
(e)
the Security Documents will, where possible and practical, automatically create Collateral over future assets of the same type as those already secured. Where local law or pledge registries require supplemental pledges or notices to be delivered in respect of future acquired assets in order for effective Collateral to be created and/or perfected over that specific future asset, the Loan Documents may require such supplemental pledges or notices (other than

7




in respect of the pledge granted over the Capital Stock in companies having their registered office in Italy, which will be provided as soon as practicable) to be provided (A) concurrently with the delivery of any Borrowing Base Certificate, (B) upon completion of any collateral audit or field exam or (C) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing upon request of the Collateral Agent or as otherwise set forth in the applicable Security Document;
(f)
whenever a Security Document or these Agreed Security Principles will require the performance of any action on a certain date or within a certain time period, such date or time period may be extended with the consent of the Collateral Agent in its reasonable discretion (or if such extended date or time period is more than 60 days beyond the original due date or period, such date or time period may be extended with the consent of the Collateral Agent and Specified Required Lenders (if any));
(g)
any reference in a Security Document or guarantee to an action that is permitted pursuant to the terms of another document shall be deemed to include any action that is not prohibited pursuant to the terms of such other document;
(h)
if any Security Document, pursuant to these Agreed Security Principles, restricts any Loan Party’s ability to be free to deal with any of its Collateral in the course of its business upon the occurrence of a Declared Default, the Collateral Agent in its reasonable discretion may permit such Loan Party to continue dealing with such Collateral (or portion thereof) in the course of its business or on terms agreed by the Collateral Agent (or as the Collateral Agent may be instructed by Required Lenders pursuant to this Agreement); and
(i)
where appropriate, defined terms in the Security Documents and guarantees should mirror those in this Agreement or be defined by reference to it. The term “Declared Default” if used in any Security Document shall mean that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have given notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Grantor or Grantors (which notice shall not be required if an Event of Default under clause (i) or (ii) of Section 8.1(f) of the Credit Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing).
6.
BANK ACCOUNTS
(a)
Save as expressly provided in this Agreement, if a Loan Party grants Collateral over its bank accounts it shall be free to deal, operate and transact business in relation to those accounts until (i) the Collateral Agent gives notice otherwise to the relevant Loan Party upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Liquidity Event Period (or in the case of the Qualified Cash Account, the Qualified Cash Sweep Period), in each case which is continuing or (ii) an Event of Default under clause (i) or (ii) of Section 8.1(f) of this Agreement has occurred and be continuing. For the avoidance of doubt, there will be no “fixed” Collateral over bank accounts, cash or receivables or any obligation to hold or pay cash or receivables in a particular account (other than the Qualified Cash Account).
(b)
If required by local law to perfect the Lien, notice of the Lien will be served on the account bank in relation to applicable accounts within 7 days of the relevant Security Document being executed. The applicable grantor of the Collateral shall not be obliged to obtain an acknowledgment of such notice, unless required as a matter of law, and in such event the applicable grantor of the Security will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an

8




acknowledgement of that notice within 20 Business Days of service, and if the grantor of the Security has used commercially reasonable efforts but has not been able to obtain acknowledgement or acceptance, its obligation to obtain acknowledgement shall cease on the expiry of that 20 Business Day period. Irrespective of whether notice of the Lien is required for perfection, if the service of notice would prevent any Loan Party from using a bank account in the course of its business, no notice of security shall be served until the occurrence of an Event of Default, Declared Default, a Liquidity Event Period or a Qualified Cash Sweep Period (and the Collateral Agent agrees to provide a rescission notice or similar as soon as practicable after an Event of Default, Declared Default, Liquidity Event Period or Qualified Period has lapsed so that the relevant Loan Party may again use the bank account in the ordinary course of business).
(c)
Unless otherwise agreed by the applicable bank, any Collateral over bank accounts shall be subject to any prior security interests in favor of the account bank which are created either by law or in the standard terms and conditions of the account bank. No grantor of Collateral will be required to change its banking arrangements or standard terms and conditions in connection with the granting of bank account security.
(d)
No control agreement or similar action by any account bank shall be required other than (i) with respect to the Qualified Cash Account, (ii) the notice and acknowledgment (subject to commercially reasonable efforts) described in paragraph (b) above, (iii) control agreements (with any bank other than the Collateral Agent or Australian Security Trustee) required by Australian law in order to establish control of Australian receivables (being “accounts” for the purposes of the Australian PPSA, (iv) as to any bank account (other than an Excluded Account) located in a jurisdiction where a control agreement or similar action is customary or appropriate to maintain a first-priority perfected security interest in cash or Cash Equivalents or Accounts (and the proceeds thereof) or (v) as to any bank account (other than an Excluded Account) where a control agreement or similar action is customary or appropriate to permit the Administrative Agent to exercise cash dominion during a Liquidity Event Period, Declared Default, Event of Default or a Qualified Cash Sweep Period, as applicable, and prepay the Loans.
(e)
If required under applicable local law, security over bank accounts will be registered subject to the general principles set out in these Agreed Security Principles.
(f)
No Collateral shall be taken over the following deposit accounts (each, an “Excluded Account”):
(i)
any zero balance deposit account; provided that, no eligible receivables proceeds shall be paid into such accounts or otherwise subject to account netting;
(ii)
any deposit account which is exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of any of the Loan Parties’ or their Affiliates’ employees;
(iii)
any deposit accounts used exclusively to segregate contributions to any health or benefit plans for the benefit of any of the Loan Parties’ or their Affiliates’ employees;

9




(iv)
any deposit account that is an escrow account, a fiduciary account or cash collateral account; and
(v)
any other deposit accounts having an individual balance of not more than €2,000,000 or €10,000,000 in the aggregate; provided that, all bank accounts into which the proceeds of eligible receivables are paid shall be subject to Security (and for the avoidance of doubt, any such bank account shall be an Approved Deposit Account or such other Deposit Account as may be permitted in accordance with Section 6.15(b)).
(g)
For the avoidance of doubt, the parties intend that the Secured Parties shall be secured by a first priority lien on substantially all cash and Cash Equivalents of the Loan Parties, all Accounts (and the proceeds thereof) and the bank accounts (other than Excluded Accounts) that contain the foregoing and, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Declared Default, an Event of Default, a Liquidity Event Period or a Qualified Cash Sweep Period, the Administrative Agent may, in accordance with and subject to the limitations of the terms of this Agreement, unilaterally apply the funds in such bank accounts to prepay the Loans. The Agreed Security Principles are to be applied in a manner that permits the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to exercise cash dominion in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the extent possible and reasonably practical in the applicable jurisdiction.
7.
FIXED ASSETS
(a)
If a Loan Party grants Collateral over its fixed assets it shall be free to deal with those fixed assets in the course of its business until the occurrence of a Declared Default.
(b)
No notice, whether to third parties or by attaching a notice to the fixed assets, shall be prepared or given until a Declared Default.
(c)
If required under local law, Security over fixed assets will be registered subject to the general principles set out in these Agreed Security Principles.
(d)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agreed Security Principles shall not limit the granting, perfection or priority of a Lien over the Other Material Spanish Collateral that are fixed assets.
8.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.
(a)
The only Intellectual Property to be Collateral shall be Intellectual Property that constitutes Other Material Spanish Collateral.
(b)
If a grantor grants Collateral over its intellectual property it shall be free to deal with those assets in the course of its business until a Declared Default (including, without limitation, allowing its intellectual property to lapse if no longer material to its business) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
9.
RECEIVABLES
(a)
If a Loan Party grants Collateral over any of its receivables (including intercompany receivables related to Proceeds Loan in favor of any of the Loan Parties), it shall be free to

10




deal with, amend, waive or terminate those receivables in the ordinary course of its business the occurrence of a Declared Default.
(b)
In the case of assignment by way of security of receivables governed by the laws of Italy:
(i)
(A) notice of Collateral will be served on the relevant debtor by registered e-mail (PEC) to be sent, where necessary, by a lawyer authorized pursuant to Italian law and duly empowered by the relevant grantor or by any other means bearing certified date, or, (B) as an alternative to the notice above, acceptance of the assignment by the relevant assigned debtor bearing certified date shall be delivered to the assignor and assignee or attached to the assignment agreement;
(ii)
in case of intercompany receivables owned by the Italian Loan Party from other Loan Parties or other companies belonging to the same corporate group, the assigned debtors shall – and the Italian Loan Party shall procure that they will – waive the contractual prohibitions to the assignment of the relevant receivables, if any.
(c)
Without prejudice to the above, unless required by law insofar as the receivables pledged are owed by a debtor which is a Loan Party or an Affiliate of a Loan Party, no notice of Collateral may be required to be prepared or served until a Declared Default.
(d)
Any list of receivables, to the extent such listing is necessary under local law, will not include details of the underlying contracts (but may include non-sensitive generic information to the extent that would allow for the creation of such Collateral under local law).
(e)
If required under local law, security over receivables will be registered subject to the general principles set out in these Agreed Security Principles.
10.
INVENTORY
If a Loan Party grants Collateral over any of its inventory, it shall be free to deal with or dispose of such inventory in the course of its business until the occurrence of a Declared Default (subject to limitations to be expressly set forth in the Security Documents executed on the Closing Date).
11.
SHARES AND INTERCOMPANY LOANS
(a)
Collateral over shares will be limited to those over shares in a Borrower or Borrowing Base Guarantor, subject to paragraph 1(a)(iv) above.
(b)
Until a Declared Default has occurred, the legal title of the shares will remain with the relevant grantor of the Collateral and any grantor of share Collateral will be permitted to retain and to exercise voting rights in relation to any shares and other related rights charged by it and receive, own and retain all assets and proceeds in relation thereto without restriction or condition provided that any exercise of rights does not materially adversely affect the validity or enforceability of the Collateral over such shares or cause an Event of Default to occur and the company whose shares have been charged will be permitted to pay dividends upstream on pledged shares to the extent not prohibited under the Loan Documents.

11




(c)
Where customary and applicable as a matter of law, as soon as reasonably practicable following execution of the applicable Security Document, the share certificate (or other documents evidencing title to the relevant shares) and a stock transfer form executed in blank (or local law equivalent) will be provided to the Collateral Agent and where required by law the shareholders’ register and the share certificate will be endorsed or written up to annotate the existence of the pledge. A charge over shares governed by Bermuda law shall include signed but undated resignation letters delivered by each director of the Bermuda company.
(d)
The same principles set forth in this paragraph 11 shall apply to intercompany receivables, any proceeds loans or any other intercompany loans resulting from the proceeds of the Term Loans or otherwise and held by any Loan Party or any Intercompany Proceeds Loan held by any Parent Guarantor, including any intercompany loans with Revlon, mutatis mutandis.
12.
RELEASE OF COLLATERAL
(a)
Any Collateral which is subject to a Disposition permitted or not prohibited by this Agreement (including by way of merger and including any assets transferred to a Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party or Parent Guarantor in a transaction permitted or not prohibited by this Agreement), including by way of transfer, directly or indirectly, of the Capital Stock of any Loan Party, shall be automatically released and discharged, and the Collateral Agent will promptly deliver notices, releases and other documents and instruments to effect or evidence such release or discharge upon request of the applicable Loan Party.
(b)
Any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Loan Document relating to any such property so Disposed of or of a Loan Party or Parent Guarantor so Disposed of, as applicable, shall no longer be deemed to be repeated once such property is so Disposed of.
(c)
In furtherance of the foregoing, upon request of the applicable Loan Party in connection with a transfer of inventory or receivables that constitutes part of the Collateral to a different location and/or to a different Loan Party, the Loan Party is obligated to ensure that the liens on such Collateral continue to be granted and perfected after giving effect to such transfer and the Collateral Agent shall cooperate to that effect.
(d)
Unless required by local law, the circumstances in which the Collateral shall be released should not be dealt with in individual Security Documents but, if so required, shall provide that Collateral will be released in accordance with this Agreement, and such release shall be automatic, without prejudice to any actions that may be necessary under local law to effect or evidence such release.

(b)    Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 2.2) and other local law provisions applicable to each Guarantor.
(c)    Each Guarantor agrees that the Secured Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party hereunder.
(d)    The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until all the Secured Obligations and the obligations of each Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall have been satisfied by payment in full (other than contingent or indemnification obligations not then due) and the Commitments shall have been terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement, the Borrowers may be free from any Borrower Credit Agreement Obligations; provided, that any Guarantor shall be released from its guarantee contained in this Section 2 as provided in Section 8.15.

2.3    No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party against the Borrowers, the Guarantors or any other guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Secured Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrowers, the Guarantors or any other guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties by the Borrowers, the Guarantors and the other guarantors on account of the Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full (other than contingent or indemnification obligations not then due) and the Commitments shall have been terminated.

2.4    Amendments, etc. with respect to the Secured Obligations. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Secured Obligations made by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may be rescinded by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party and any of the Secured Obligations continued, and the Secured Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and in each case any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith, may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders, or all Lenders, or all Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of set-off at any time held by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Secured Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall

5


Exhibit 4.2


have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Secured Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto.
2.5    Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Secured Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 2; the Secured Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all dealings between the Borrowers, the Guarantors and any of the other guarantors, on the one hand, with respect to the Loan Documents and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2. Each Guarantor waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrowers, the Guarantors or any other guarantor with respect to the Secured Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, that the guarantee of such Guarantor contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and not of collectability without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Secured Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Borrower or any other Person against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (other than a defense of payment or performance) (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Borrower or any Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrowers from the Borrower Credit Agreement Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee of such Guarantor contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy, insolvency or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Secured Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

6


Exhibit 4.2


Without limiting the foregoing, any Spanish Guarantor acknowledges that the guarantee provided by it under this Clause 2.1 must be construed as a first demand guarantee (garantía a primera demanda) and not as a performance bond (fianza) and, therefore, the benefits of preference (excusión), order (orden) and division (división) shall not be applicable.
2.6    Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made and no discharge or release of the guarantee contained in this Section 2 had occurred.
2.7    Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office without set-off or counterclaim.
2.8    Swiss Limitations.
(a)    If and to the extent that a Guarantor incorporated in Switzerland (a “Swiss Guarantor”) becomes liable under the Loan Documents for obligations of its Affiliates other than its Subsidiaries and if complying with such obligations would be restricted under then applicable Swiss corporate law (the “Restricted Obligations”), the aggregate liability of the Swiss Guarantor for Restricted Obligations shall be limited to the amount of unrestricted equity capital surplus available for distribution as dividends to the shareholders of the Swiss Guarantor (the “Maximum Amount”), provided that this is a requirement under then applicable mandatory Swiss law and understood that such limitation shall not free the Swiss Guarantor from its obligations in excess of the Maximum Amount, but that it shall merely postpone the performance date of those obligations until such time or times as performance is again permitted.
(b)    Immediately after having been requested to perform the Restricted Obligations under the Loan Documents, the Swiss Guarantor shall (i) perform any obligations which are not affected by the above limitations, and (ii) in respect of any balance, if and to the extent requested by the Collateral Agent or required under then applicable Swiss law, provide the Collateral Agent with an interim balance sheet audited by the statutory auditors of the Swiss Guarantor setting out the Maximum Amount, take any further corporate and other action as may be required by the Collateral Agent (such as managing director and quotaholders' approvals and the receipt of any confirmations from the Swiss Guarantor's statutory auditors) and other measures required to allow the Swiss Guarantor to make the payments agreed hereunder with a minimum of limitations and, immediately thereafter, pay up to the Maximum Amount to the Collateral Agent.
(c)    In relation to payments made hereunder in satisfaction of Restricted Obligations, the Swiss Guarantor shall:

7


Exhibit 4.2


(i)    if and to the extent required by applicable law and subject to any applicable double tax treaties in force at the relevant time:
(A)    deduct Swiss Withholding Tax at the rate of 35 per cent. (or such other rate as is in force at that time) from any such payment;
(B)    pay any such deduction to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration; and
(C)    notify and provide evidence to the Collateral Agent that the Swiss Withholding Tax has been paid to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration;
(ii)    as soon as possible after a deduction for Swiss Withholding Tax is made as required by applicable law:
(A)    ensure that any person which is entitled to a full or partial refund of the Swiss Withholding Tax, is in a position to be so refunded; and
(B)    in case it has received any refund of the Swiss Withholding Tax, pay such refund to the Collateral Agent promptly upon receipt thereof.
(d)    If the enforcement of Restricted Obligations would be limited due to the effects referred to in this Clause 2.8, then the Swiss Guarantor shall (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law, revalue any of its assets that are shown on its balance sheet with a book value that is significantly lower than the market value of such assets, and (ii) reduce its share capital to the minimum allowed under then applicable law.
2.9    Guarantee Limitation for the Italian Guarantor.
(a)    For the purposes of this Section 2.9, “Italian Acquisition Facilities” means any Loan the purpose or the actual use of which is, directly or indirectly (even through refinancing of existing debt), the acquisition of the Italian Guarantor or the subscription of any shares of the Italian Guarantor;
(b)    The obligation of the Italian Guarantor to guarantee the prompt and complete payment when due and performance by the Borrowers and each other Loan Party (which are not Subsidiaries of the Italian Guarantor) of the Secured Obligations, shall not exceed an amount equal to the aggregate of:
(i)    any principal amount outstanding under any Facility advanced directly to the Italian Guarantor and/or any of its Subsidiaries as Borrower under the Agreement;
(ii)    any principal amount outstanding under any Proceeds Loan advanced by any Borrower or other Loan Party directly to the Italian Guarantor and/or any of its Subsidiaries; and/or
(iii)    any amount paid by any Borrower or other Loan Party to the Italian Guarantor as a guarantee fee;

8


Exhibit 4.2


provided that in order to comply with the provisions of Italian law in relation to financial assistance, the Italian Guarantor shall not be liable as a Guarantor in relation to:
(1)    any obligations of any Loan Party as Borrower or as Guarantor in respect of any Italian Acquisition Facilities;
(2)    the obligations of any Guarantor under any guarantee given in respect of the obligations referred to under point (1) above.
(c)    Without prejudice to the provisions of paragraph (b) above:
(i)    in order to comply with the mandatory provisions of the laws of Italy in relation to (i) maximum interest rate (namely, Italian Usury Law and Section 1815 of the Italian Civil Code), and (ii) capitalization of interests (namely, Section 1283 of the Italian Civil Code and article 120 of the Italian Consolidated Banking Act), the obligations of the Italian Guarantor shall not include and shall not extend to (1) any interest qualifying as usurious pursuant the Italian Usury Law, and (2) any interest on overdue amounts compounded in violation of the provisions set forth by Section 1283 of the Italian Civil Code and Section 120 of the Italian Consolidated Banking Act, respectively; and
(ii)    pursuant to article 1938 of the Italian Civil Code, the maximum amount that the Italian Guarantor may be required to pay in respect of its obligations as Guarantor shall not exceed USD 150,000,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency).
2.10    Spanish Guarantee Limitation.
Any guarantee, security, indemnity, obligation and liability granted, incurred, undertaken, assumed or otherwise agreed by a Spanish Guarantor under any Loan Documents shall not include and not extend to any liabilities to the extent that the same would cause a breach of the financial assistance prohibitions and if and to the extent that may be the case, the said guarantees, security, indemnities and other obligations or liabilities will be deemed not to have been granted, incurred, undertaken, assumed or otherwise agreed by that Spanish Guarantor. For the purposes of this Section 2.10, financial assistance has the meaning stated under:
(i)    (for a Spanish public company (Sociedad Anónima)) Article 150 of the Spanish Companies Act or in any other legal provision that may substitute such Article 150 or be applicable to any Guarantor incorporated in Spain in respect of such financial assistance; or
(ii)    (for a Spanish limited liability company (Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada)) Article 143 of the Spanish Companies Act or in any other legal provision that may substitute such Article 143 or be applicable to any Guarantor incorporated in Spain in respect of such financial assistance.
2.11    German Guarantee Limitation.

9


Exhibit 4.2


(a)    The Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party agrees not to enforce the German Guarantee if and to the extent that the relevant German Guarantee secures any liability of a Loan Party which is an Affiliate of a German Guarantor (other than that German Guarantor’s wholly-owned Subsidiaries) (the “Guaranteed Obligor”) and if and to the extent that a payment under the German Guarantee would cause that German Guarantor’s (or, in the case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor, its general partners’) or any of its direct or indirect holding company’s (in form of a German GmbH or GmbH & Co. KG which is not a relevant Loan Party) Net Assets (determined pursuant to paragraphs (b), (c) and/or (d) below) to be reduced below zero, or further reduced if already below zero.
(b)    For the purposes of the calculation of the Net Assets the following balance sheet items shall be adjusted as follows:
(i)    the amount of any increase of the stated share capital (Erhöhungen des Stammkapitals) of the relevant German Guarantor after the date hereof that is not fully paid up or that has been effected without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, shall be deducted from the stated share capital;
(ii)    liabilities incurred by the relevant German Guarantor in negligent or willful violation of the Loan Documents shall be disregarded; and
(iii)    loans provided to the relevant German Guarantor by any Parent Company, Subsidiary or Affiliate shall be disregarded, if and to the extent that such loans are subordinated or would be subordinated in case of insolvency pursuant to Section 39 para. 1 Nr. 5 of the German Insolvency Code (Insolvenzordnung) provided that such German Guarantor is able to (i) set-off its recourse claims (if any) against the loan obligation in respect of the loans provided to it or (ii) otherwise use its recourse claims (if any) to settle or discharge the relevant loan obligation or (iii) the creditor of such loan is able to waive (erlassen) the loan provided to the relevant German Guarantor (or, in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor, its general partner) without breaching its obligations under Section 30 GmbHG or any similar provision of any other jurisdiction applicable to it.
(c)    The relevant German Guarantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent, within 30 Business Days after receipt from the Collateral Agent of a notice stating that the Collateral Agent intends to demand payment under the German Guarantee (the “Enforcement Notice”), its up-to-date balance sheet, or in the case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor its and its general partner’s balance sheet, together with a detailed calculation of the amount of its Net Assets taking into account the adjustments set forth in paragraph (b) above (the “Management Determination”). The Management Determination shall be prepared as of the date of receipt of the Enforcement Notice.
(d)    Following the Collateral Agent’s receipt of the Management Determination, upon request by the Collateral Agent (acting reasonably), the relevant German Guarantor shall deliver the Collateral Agent within 30 Business Days of such request its up-to-date balance sheet, or in the case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor its and its general partner’s balance sheet, drawn-up by its auditor together with a detailed calculation of the amount of the Net Assets taking into

10


Exhibit 4.2


account the adjustments set forth in paragraph (b) above (the “Auditors’ Determination”). Such balance sheet and Auditors’ Determination shall be prepared in accordance with the applicable accounting principles as consistently applied. The Auditors’ Determination shall be prepared as of the date of receipt of the Enforcement Notice.
(e)    The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to demand payment under the German Guarantee in an amount which would, in accordance with the Management Determination or, if applicable and taking into account any previous enforcement in accordance with the Management Determination, the Auditors’ Determination, not cause the German Guarantor’s Net Assets, or in the case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor, its general partner’s Net Assets, to be reduced below zero or further reduced if already below zero. If and to the extent that the Net Assets as determined by the Auditors’ Determination are lower than the amount enforced (i) in accordance with the Management Determination or (ii) without regard to the Management and/or Auditors’ Determination, the Collateral Agent shall release to the relevant German Guarantor (or in case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor to its general partner) such excess enforcement proceeds upon the written demand by such German Guarantor, provided that such demand for payment is made within one month from the date of payment on the German Guarantee. The Agent may withhold any amount received pursuant to an enforcement of this German Guarantee until final determination of the amount of the Net Assets pursuant to the Auditors' Determination.
(f)    In addition, each German Guarantor and, in the case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor, also its general partner, shall within three (3) months after receipt of the Enforcement Notice realise, to the extent legally permitted and to the extent necessary to satisfy the Secured Obligations, any and all of its assets which are not required for the relevant German Guarantor’s business (nicht betriebsnotwendig) that are shown in the balance sheet with a book value (Buchwert) that is substantially lower than the market value of the relevant assets if, as a result of the enforcement of the guarantee, its Net Assets would be reduced below zero or further reduced if already below zero.
(g)    The restriction under paragraph (a) above shall not apply:
(i)    to the extent that the German Guarantee secures (A) any Loans that are on-lent, actually disbursed to the relevant German Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries and not repaid or (B) any guarantees issued under this Agreement for the benefit of the relevant German Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries which are not returned, in each case if and to the extent that the relevant German Guarantor is able to (i) set-off its recourse claims (if any) against the loan obligation in respect of the amounts on-lent to it or (ii) otherwise use its recourse claims (if any) to settle or discharge the relevant loan obligation under the Loan Documents;
(ii)    if the German Guarantor has not complied with any of its obligations pursuant to paragraphs (c), (d) and (f) above;
(iii)    if the relevant German Guarantor (as dominated entity) is subject to a domination and/or profit transfer agreement (Beherrschungs- und/oder Gewinnabführungsvertrag) (a “DPTA”), unless and to the extent the existence of such

11


Exhibit 4.2


domination and/or profit and loss pooling agreement (Beherrschungs- und/oder Gewinnabführungsvertrag) does not lead to the inapplicability of section 30 paragraph 1 sentence 1 of the German Limited Liabilities Company Act (GmbHG);
(iv)    if and to extent the relevant German Guarantor has on the date of enforcement of the German Guarantee a fully recoverable indemnity or claim for refund (“vollwertiger Gegenleistungs- oder Rückgewähranspruch”) against its shareholder or the Guaranteed Obligor; or
(v)    if and to the extent that they are not necessary for the purposes of protecting the German Guarantor’s directors against personal liability due to a violation of Section 30 and/or 43 GmbHG.
2.12    Subordination of Other Obligations.
Any Indebtedness of the Borrowers or any other Guarantor now or hereafter held by any other Borrower or Guarantor (the “Obligee”), whether as original creditor, assignee, or by way of contribution, subrogation, restitution or otherwise, is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Secured Obligations, and any such Indebtedness collected or received by the Obligee upon the request of the Collateral Agent after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid over to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties to be credited and applied against the Secured Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee under any other provision hereof. Prior to the transfer by an Obligee of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any such indebtedness to such Obligee, such Obligee shall mark such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower and each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Secured Parties that it will not exercise any right of subrogation, contribution or indemnification which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Section 2.12 (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all Secured Obligations have been paid in full in cash.

In the case of each Guarantor, the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.9, 4.10, 4.12, 4.13, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, 4.19, 4.21, 4.23 and 4.24 of the Credit Agreement to the extent they refer to such Guarantor or to the Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party or to the use of the proceeds of any

12


Exhibit 4.2


Loans by any Guarantor, each of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference, are true and correct in all material respects, and each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party shall be entitled to rely on each of them as if they were fully set forth herein; provided, that each reference in each such representation and warranty to each Borrower’s knowledge shall, for the purposes of this Section 4.1, be deemed to be a reference to such Guarantor’s knowledge.
Section 5.    COVENANTS
5.1    Covenants in Credit Agreement. In the case of each Guarantor, to the extent applicable, such Guarantor shall take, or shall refrain from taking, as the case may be, each action that is necessary to be taken or not taken, as the case may be, so that no Default or Event of Default is caused by the failure to take such action or to refrain from taking such action by such Guarantor.

Section 6.    [RESERVED]
Section 7.    [RESERVED]
Section 8.    MISCELLANEOUS
8.1    Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement.
8.2    Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Collateral Agent or any Guarantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor shall be addressed to such Guarantor at such address pursuant to notice given in accordance with Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement.
8.3    No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 8.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

13


Exhibit 4.2

(a)    Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to hold the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties harmless from, any and all out-of-pocket liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement to the extent the Borrowers would be required to do so pursuant to Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement.
(b)    The agreements in this Section 8.4 shall survive repayment of the Secured Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
8.5    Successors and Assigns. Subject to Section 8.15, this Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their successors and permitted assigns; provided that no Guarantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent except as permitted under the Credit Agreement.
8.6    Set-Off. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by each Guarantor (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise after the expiration of any applicable grace periods and whether or not the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party has made any demand therefor) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount (or any part thereof) any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but excluding trust accounts), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor, provided that, if such Secured Party is a Lender, it complies with Section 10.7 of the Credit Agreement. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party shall notify such Guarantor promptly of any such set-off made by it and the application made by it of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party may have.
8.7    Counterparts.

14


Exhibit 4.2


8.8    Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
8.9    Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.
8.10    Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
8.11    GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS TO THE EXTENT THAT THE SAME ARE NOT MANDATORILY APPLICABLE BY STATUTE AND THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.
8.12    Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:
(a)    submits for itself and its Property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York (the “New York Supreme Court”), and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Federal District Court” and, together with the New York Supreme Court, the “New York Courts”), and appellate courts from either of them; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or operate to preclude (i) the Collateral Agent from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Secured Obligations (in which case any party shall be entitled to assert any claim or defense, including any claim or defense that this Section 8.12 would otherwise require to be asserted in a legal action or proceeding in a New York Court), or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, (ii) any party from bringing any legal action or proceeding in any jurisdiction for the recognition and enforcement of any judgment and (iii) if all such New York Courts decline jurisdiction over any person, or decline (or in the case of the Federal District Court, lack) jurisdiction over any subject matter of such action or proceeding, a legal action or proceeding may be brought with respect thereto in another court having jurisdiction;
(b)    consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in the New York Courts and appellate courts from either of them, and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

15


Exhibit 4.2


(c)    agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Guarantor at its address referred to in Section 8.2 or at such other address of which the Collateral Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;
(d)    agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law; and
(e)    waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 8.12 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages (provided that such waiver shall not limit the indemnification obligations of the Guarantors to the extent such special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages are included in any third party claim with respect to which the applicable Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement).
8.13    Acknowledgements. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that:
(a)    it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party;
(b)    neither the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Guarantor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and
(c)    no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders or among the Guarantors and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders.
8.14    Additional Guarantors. Each Revlon Party (that was not previously a Loan Party) that becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the Guarantee Agreement shall become a Guarantor for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Revlon Party of an Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex I hereto or such other form reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent and the Borrowers.
8.15    Releases.
(a)    Pursuant to Section 10.15 of the Credit Agreement or at such time as the Secured Obligations (other than contingent or indemnification obligations not then due) shall have been paid in full and the Commitments shall have been terminated, this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Collateral Agent and each Guarantor hereunder shall automatically terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party. At the request and sole expense of the Guarantors following any such

16


Exhibit 4.2


termination, the Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to the Guarantors such documents as the Guarantors shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
(b)    A Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations hereunder (i) in the event that all the Capital Stock of such Guarantor shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement or (ii) upon such Guarantor ceasing to be a Loan Party, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, and the Collateral Agent, at the request and sole expense of the Borrowers, shall promptly execute and deliver to the Borrowers all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable to evidence the release of such obligations. All releases or other documents delivered by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 8.15(b) shall be without recourse to, or warranty by, the Collateral Agent.
(c)    The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall terminate as set forth in Section 10.15 of the Credit Agreement.
8.16    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH GUARANTOR AND, BY ACCEPTANCE OF THE BENEFITS HEREOF, EACH OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE COLLATERAL AGENT AND EACH OTHER SECURED PARTY, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.
8.17    Parallel Debt.
(a)    For the purpose of this Section 8.17, “Corresponding Obligations” means each Guarantor’s Guarantor Obligations other than the Parallel Debt.
(b)    Each Guarantor, with the exclusion of the Italian Guarantor and any Spanish Guarantor, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Collateral Agent, acting on its own behalf and not as agent for any person, an amount equal to the Corresponding Obligations (such payment undertakings by each Guarantor to the Collateral Agent, hereinafter referred to as the “Parallel Debt”).
(c)    The Parallel Debt will become due and payable in the currency or currencies of the Corresponding Obligations as and when one or more of the Corresponding Obligations become due and payable.
(d)    Each of the parties to this Agreement (other than any Italian Guarantor and any Spanish Guarantor) hereby acknowledges that: (i) the Parallel Debt constitutes an undertaking, obligation and liability of each Guarantor to the Collateral Agent which is transferable and separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the Corresponding Obligations; (ii) the Parallel Debt represents the Collateral Agent’s own separate and independent claim to receive payment of the Parallel Debt from each Guarantor and (iii) the Liens granted under the Loan Documents to the Collateral Agent to secure the Parallel Debt are granted to the Collateral Agent in its capacity as creditor of the Parallel Debt and shall not be held in trust, it being understood, that the amount which

17


Exhibit 4.2


may become payable by each Guarantor under or pursuant to the Parallel Debt from time to time shall never exceed the aggregate amount which is payable under the relevant Corresponding Obligations from time to time.
(e)    For the purpose of this Section 8.17, the Collateral Agent acts in its own name and on behalf of itself (for the benefit of the Secured Parties and each subsequent maker of any Loan by its making thereof) and not as agent or representative of any of the Secured Parties and each subsequent maker of any Loan by its making thereof.
(f)    To the extent the Collateral Agent irrevocably receives any amount in payment of the Parallel Debt (the “Received Amount”), the Corresponding Obligations shall be reduced by an aggregate amount (the “Deductible Amount”) equal to the Received Amount in the manner as if the Deductible Amount were received as a payment of the Corresponding Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent the Collateral Agent irrevocably receives any amount in payment of the Corresponding Obligations, the Parallel Debt shall be reduced accordingly as if such payment was received as a payment of the Parallel Debt. All amounts received or recovered by the Collateral Agent from or by the enforcement of any security interest granted to secure the Parallel Debt, shall be applied in accordance with this Agreement.
(g)    Without limiting or affecting the Collateral Agent’s rights against the Guarantor (whether under this Section 8.17 or under any other provisions of the Loan Documents) each Guarantor acknowledges that (i) nothing in this Section 8.17 shall impose any obligation on the Collateral Agent to advance any sum to any Guarantor or otherwise under any Loan Document, except in its capacity as Lender, and (ii) for the purpose of any vote taken under any Loan Document, the Collateral Agent shall not be regarded as having any participation or commitment other than those which it has in its capacity as a Lender.
(h)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will “parallel debt” provisions set out in this Section 8.17 apply to Security Documents governed by the laws of Italy or Spain.
8.18    Spanish Public Document.
This Agreement (as well as any amendments hereto) shall be raised to a Spanish Public Document in the form of an escritura pública for, among others, the purposes contemplated in Article 517 et seq., Spanish Civil Procedural Act and other related provisions.

Exhibit 4.3


(b)    The meanings given to terms defined herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms.
Section 2.    GUARANTEE
2.1    Guarantee.
(a)    Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent (as representative (mandatario con rappresentanza) of the Secured Parties), and the other Secured Parties, the prompt and complete payment when due and performance by the Borrowers and each other Loan Party (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations.
(b)    Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 2.2) and other local law provisions applicable to each Guarantor.
(c)    Each Guarantor agrees that the Secured Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party hereunder.
(d)    The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until all the Secured Obligations and the obligations of each Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall have been satisfied by payment in full (other than contingent or indemnification obligations not then due) and the Commitments shall have been terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement, the Borrowers may be free from any Borrower Credit Agreement Obligations; provided, that any Guarantor shall be released from its guarantee contained in this Section 2 as provided in Section 8.15.
(e)    No payment (other than payment in full (other than with respect to contingent or indemnification obligations not then due)) made by the Borrowers, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party from the Borrowers, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Secured Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment, remain liable for the Secured Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full (other than contingent or indemnification obligations not then due) and the Commitments shall have been terminated; provided, that any Guarantor shall be released from its guarantee contained in this Section 2 as provided in Section 8.15.

Exhibit 4.3


(f)    For the purposes of article 135 and the additional section fourth of the Spanish Insolvency Law, the obligations of each Spanish Guarantor under this Agreement vis-á-vis each Secured Party shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement at any time such that each Spanish Guarantor’s obligations pursuant to this Clause 2.1 shall not be affected in any way by the settlement agreement or workout homologation agreement (homologación de un acuerdo de refinanciación) that may be agreed in the insolvency proceedings of a Guarantor (nor shall they be deemed amended as a consequence of the approval of that settlement agreement) to the extent that such Secured Party has not voted in favour of that settlement agreement or workout homologation agreement (homologación de un acuerdo de refinanciación).
2.2    Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.3. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.
2.3    No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party against the Borrowers, the Guarantors or any other guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Secured Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrowers, the Guarantors or any other guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties by the Borrowers, the Guarantors and the other guarantors on account of the Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full (other than contingent or indemnification obligations not then due) and the Commitments shall have been terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation, contribution or reimbursement rights at any time when all of such Secured Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Collateral Agent, if required), to be applied against the Secured Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.
2.4    Amendments, etc. with respect to the Secured Obligations. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Secured Obligations

4




Exhibit 4.3


made by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may be rescinded by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party and any of the Secured Obligations continued, and the Secured Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and in each case any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith, may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders, or all Lenders, or all Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of set-off at any time held by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Secured Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Secured Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto.
2.5    Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional.    Each Guarantor waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Secured Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 2; the Secured Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all dealings between the Borrowers, the Guarantors and any of the other guarantors, on the one hand, with respect to the Loan Documents and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2. Each Guarantor waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrowers, the Guarantors or any other guarantor with respect to the Secured Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, that the guarantee of such Guarantor contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and not of collectability without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Secured Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Borrower or any other Person against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (other than a defense of payment or performance) (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Borrower or any Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrowers from the Borrower Credit Agreement Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee of such Guarantor contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy, insolvency or in any other

5




Exhibit 4.3


instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Secured Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.
Without limiting the foregoing, any Spanish Guarantor acknowledges that the guarantee provided by it under this Clause 2.1 must be construed as a first demand guarantee (garantía a primera demanda) and not as a performance bond (fianza) and, therefore, the benefits of preference (excusión), order (orden) and division (división) shall not be applicable.
2.6    Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made and no discharge or release of the guarantee contained in this Section 2 had occurred.
2.7    Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office without set-off or counterclaim.
2.8    Limited Recourse Guarantee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, it is expressly understood and agreed that no Guarantor shall have personal liability with respect to the Secured Obligations and the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party agrees to look solely to the Collateral and the Loan Parties other than any Guarantor (and the assets pledged by them) for satisfaction of the Secured Obligations. The Collateral Agent’s or any other Secured Party’s rights and remedies hereunder shall be limited to the Collateral and neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any right or claim against any Guarantor or any of its property or assets other than the Collateral. If the Collateral Agent obtains a judgment in respect of the Secured Obligations, such judgment may only be enforced against the Collateral and the Loan Parties other than any Guarantor.
2.9    Spanish guarantee limitation. Any guarantee, security, indemnity, obligation and liability granted, incurred, undertaken, assumed or otherwise agreed by a Spanish

6




Exhibit 4.3


Guarantor under any Loan Documents shall not include and not extend to any liabilities to the extent that the same would cause a breach of the financial assistance prohibitions and if and to the extent that may be the case, the said guarantees, security, indemnities and other obligations or liabilities will be deemed not to have been granted, incurred, undertaken, assumed or otherwise agreed by that Spanish Guarantor. For the purposes of this Section 2.9, financial assistance has the meaning stated under:
(i)
(for a Spanish public company (Sociedad Anónima)) Article 150 of the Spanish Companies Act or in any other legal provision that may substitute such Article 150 or be applicable to any Guarantor incorporated in Spain in respect of such financial assistance; or
(ii)
(for a Spanish limited liability company (Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada)) Article 143 of the Spanish Companies Act or in any other legal provision that may substitute such Article 143 or be applicable to any Guarantor incorporated in Spain in respect of such financial assistance.
Section 3.    [RESERVED]
Section 4.    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
To induce the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties to enter into the Credit Agreement, and to induce the Lenders to make their respective extensions of credit to the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor hereby represents and warrants with respect to itself to each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party that:
4.1    Representations in Credit Agreement. In the case of each Guarantor, the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.13 and 4.17 (with respect to this Agreement) of the Credit Agreement, each of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference as if such representations and warranties were made by and in respect of such Guarantor, and the Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party or to the use of proceeds of any Loans by any Guarantor, in each case, mutatis mutandis, are true and correct in all material respects, and each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party shall be entitled to rely on each of them as if they were fully set forth herein; provided, that each reference in each such representation and warranty to each Borrower’s knowledge shall, for the purposes of this Section 4.1, be deemed to be a reference to such Guarantor’s knowledge.
Section 5.    [RESERVED]
Section 6.    [RESERVED]
Section 7.    [RESERVED]
Section 8.    MISCELLANEOUS

Exhibit 4.3


8.1    Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement.
8.2    Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Collateral Agent or any Guarantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor shall be addressed to such Guarantor at such address pursuant to notice given in accordance with Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement.
8.3    No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 8.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
8.4    Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification.
(a)    Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to hold the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties harmless from, any and all out-of-pocket liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement to the extent the Borrowers would be required to do so pursuant to Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement.
(b)    The agreements in this Section 8.4 shall survive repayment of the Secured Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
8.5    Successors and Assigns. Subject to Section 8.15, this Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their successors and permitted assigns; provided that no Guarantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent except as permitted under the Credit Agreement.

8




Exhibit 4.3


8.6    Set-Off. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by each Guarantor (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise after the expiration of any applicable grace periods and whether or not the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party has made any demand therefor) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount (or any part thereof) any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but excluding trust accounts), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor, provided that, if such Secured Party is a Lender, it complies with Section 10.7 of the Credit Agreement. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party shall notify such Guarantor promptly of any such set-off made by it and the application made by it of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party may have.
8.7    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy or electronic (e.g., “pdf”) transmission), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.
8.8    Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
8.9    Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.
8.10    Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
8.11    GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS TO THE EXTENT THAT THE SAME ARE NOT MANDATORILY APPLICABLE BY STATUTE AND THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

(a)    submits for itself and its Property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York (the “New York Supreme Court”), and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Federal District Court” and, together with the New York Supreme Court, the “New York Courts”), and appellate courts from either of them; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or operate to preclude (i) the Collateral Agent from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Secured Obligations (in which case any party shall be entitled to assert any claim or defense, including any claim or defense that this Section 8.12 would otherwise require to be asserted in a legal action or proceeding in a New York Court), or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, (ii) any party from bringing any legal action or proceeding in any jurisdiction for the recognition and enforcement of any judgment and (iii) if all such New York Courts decline jurisdiction over any person, or decline (or in the case of the Federal District Court, lack) jurisdiction over any subject matter of such action or proceeding, a legal action or proceeding may be brought with respect thereto in another court having jurisdiction;
(b)    consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in the New York Courts and appellate courts from either of them, and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;
(c)    agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Guarantor at its address referred to in Section 8.2 or at such other address of which the Collateral Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;
(d)    agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law; and
(e)    waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 8.12 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages (provided that such waiver shall not limit the indemnification obligations of the Guarantors to the extent such special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages are included in any third party claim with respect to which the applicable Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement).
8.13    Acknowledgements. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that:
(a)    it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party;

10




Exhibit 4.3


(b)    neither the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Guarantor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and
(c)    no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders or among the Guarantors and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders.
8.14    Additional Guarantors. Each Revlon Party (that was not previously a Loan Party) that becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the Guarantee Agreement shall become a Guarantor for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Revlon Party of an Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex I hereto or such other form reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent and the Borrowers.
8.15    Releases.
(a)    Pursuant to Section 10.15 of the Credit Agreement or at such time as the Secured Obligations (other than contingent or indemnification obligations not then due) shall have been paid in full and the Commitments shall have been terminated, this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Collateral Agent and each Guarantor hereunder shall automatically terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party. At the request and sole expense of the Guarantors following any such termination, the Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to the Guarantors such documents as the Guarantors shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
(b)    A Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations hereunder (i) in the event that all the Capital Stock of such Guarantor (or all of the Capital Stock of each Loan Party pledged as Collateral by such Guarantor) shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement or (ii) upon such Guarantor (or each Loan Party whose Capital Stock is pledged as Collateral by such Guarantor) ceasing to be a Loan Party, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, and the Collateral Agent, at the request and sole expense of the Borrowers, shall promptly execute and deliver to the Borrowers all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable to evidence the release of such obligations. All releases or other documents delivered by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 8.15(b) shall be without recourse to, or warranty by, the Collateral Agent.
(c)    The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall terminate as set forth in Section 10.15 of the Credit Agreement.
8.16    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH GUARANTOR AND, BY ACCEPTANCE OF THE BENEFITS HEREOF, EACH OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE COLLATERAL AGENT AND EACH OTHER SECURED PARTY, HEREBY

11




Exhibit 4.3


IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.
8.17    Parallel Debt.
(a)    For the purpose of this Section 8.17, “Corresponding Obligations” means each Guarantor’s Guarantor Obligations other than the Parallel Debt.
(b)    Each Guarantor (other than any Spanish Guarantor) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Collateral Agent, acting on its own behalf and not as agent for any person, an amount equal to the Corresponding Obligations (such payment undertakings by each Guarantor to the Collateral Agent, hereinafter referred to as the “Parallel Debt”).
(c)    The Parallel Debt will become due and payable in the currency or currencies of the Corresponding Obligations as and when one or more of the Corresponding Obligations become due and payable.
(d)    Each of the parties to this Agreement (other than any Spanish Guarantor) hereby acknowledges that: (i) the Parallel Debt constitutes an undertaking, obligation and liability of each Guarantor to the Collateral Agent which is transferable and separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the Corresponding Obligations; (ii) the Parallel Debt represents the Collateral Agent’s own separate and independent claim to receive payment of the Parallel Debt from each Guarantor and (iii) the Liens granted under the Loan Documents to the Collateral Agent to secure the Parallel Debt are granted to the Collateral Agent in its capacity as creditor of the Parallel Debt and shall not be held in trust, it being understood, that the amount which may become payable by each Guarantor under or pursuant to the Parallel Debt from time to time shall never exceed the aggregate amount which is payable under the relevant Corresponding Obligations from time to time.
(e)    For the purpose of this Section 8.17, the Collateral Agent acts in its own name and on behalf of itself (for the benefit of the Secured Parties and each subsequent maker of any Loan by its making thereof) and not as agent or representative of any of the Secured Parties and each subsequent maker of any Loan by its making thereof.
(f)    To the extent the Collateral Agent irrevocably receives any amount in payment of the Parallel Debt (the “Received Amount”), the Corresponding Obligations shall be reduced by an aggregate amount (the “Deductible Amount”) equal to the Received Amount in the manner as if the Deductible Amount were received as a payment of the Corresponding Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent the Collateral Agent irrevocably receives any amount in payment of the Corresponding Obligations, the Parallel Debt shall be reduced accordingly as if such payment was received as a payment of the Parallel Debt. All amounts received or recovered by the Collateral Agent from or by the enforcement of any security interest granted to secure the Parallel Debt, shall be applied in accordance with this Agreement.

12




Exhibit 4.3


(g)    Without limiting or affecting the Collateral Agent’s rights against the Guarantor (whether under this Section 8.17 or under any other provisions of the Loan Documents) each Guarantor acknowledges that (i) nothing in this Section 8.17 shall impose any obligation on the Collateral Agent to advance any sum to any Guarantor or otherwise under any Loan Document, except in its capacity as Lender, and (ii) for the purpose of any vote taken under any Loan Document, the Collateral Agent shall not be regarded as having any participation or commitment other than those which it has in its capacity as a Lender.
(h)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will “parallel debt” provisions set out in this Section 8.17 apply to Security Documents governed by the laws of Spain.
8.18    Spanish Public DocumentThis Agreement (as well as any amendments hereto) shall be raised to a Spanish Public Document in the form of an escritura pública for, among others, the purposes contemplated in Article 517 et seq., Spanish Civil Procedural Act and other related provisions.

Exhibit 10.1
Performance Restricted Stock Unit Agreement – 2018 LTIP
FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED REVLON, INC. STOCK PLAN
This PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated [__], 2018 is entered into between REVLON, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Revlon” and, together with Revlon’s affiliates, the “Company”), and [________] (the “Grantee”), subject to the Grantee’s acceptance of this Agreement. Schedules 1 (“PRSUs Performance Matrix”), 2 (“Change of Control”) and 3 (“Terms and Conditions applicable to Non-U.S. Grantees”) attached to this Agreement are incorporated into, and constitute a part of, this Agreement.
Revlon’s Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) has determined that the objectives of the Fourth Amended and Restated Revlon, Inc. Stock Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), will be furthered by granting to the Grantee Restricted Stock Units, subject to certain restrictions, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter contained (the “PRSUs” or the “PRSU Award”). In consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual undertakings set forth in this Agreement, the Company and the Grantee agree as follows:

SECTION 1.Number of PRSUs. The Company hereby grants to the Grantee [______] PRSUs (the “Target PRSUs”), subject to such vesting, transfer and other restrictions and conditions as set forth in this Agreement, including in the Performance Matrix (as defined below), which represents the target number of PRSUs that may potentially be earned under this Agreement pursuant to the conditions set forth on the Performance Matrix. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Performance Matrix, the Grantee will be eligible to earn up to an additional 50% of the Target PRSUs (the “Max PRSUs”). In no event will the Grantee be eligible to earn a total of more than 150% of the Target PRSUs granted. For purposes of this Agreement (including all schedules hereto), references to the “PRSUs” or the “PRSU Award” shall be deemed to include the Target PRSUs and the Max PRSUs eligible to vest under this Agreement, including in the Performance Matrix. The Grantee shall not be required to make any payment for the PRSUs.
SECTION 2.    Restrictions.
(a)    Vesting of PRSUs. Subject to the Plan and the other terms of this Agreement, the restrictions relating to the PRSUs which are the subject of this Agreement shall lapse in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth on Schedule 1 (the “Performance Matrix”).
(b)    Settlement of PRSUs. The PRSUs shall be settled in accordance with the Performance Matrix. Each PRSU represents the right to receive one share of Revlon, Inc. Class A common stock (“Common Stock”) or the cash value thereof as of the applicable vesting date. Specifically, vested PRSUs (if any) shall be settled through either (i) the delivery of a number of shares of Common Stock with respect to the number of PRSUs vested (in book-entry form or otherwise); or (ii) the delivery of an amount in cash equal to (x) the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the number of vested PRSUs multiplied by (y) the closing price of a share of Common Stock on the date on which the applicable PRSUs vest in accordance with the Performance Matrix, in each case, less applicable tax withholding amounts.
The decision to issue shares of Common Stock or the cash value thereof as of the applicable vesting date in connection with the settlement of any portion of the PRSUs shall be in the Company’s sole discretion. No cash or shares of Common Stock shall be issued or delivered to the Grantee prior to

        



the date on which the PRSUs vest in accordance with the Performance Matrix and, prior to settlement, the PRSUs will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company.
SECTION 3.    Rights as Stockholder. Neither the Grantee nor any person claiming under or through the Grantee will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any shares of Common Stock deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such shares of Common Stock (which may be in book-entry form) have been issued and recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars and delivered to the Grantee (including through electronic delivery to a brokerage account), including, but not limited to, the right to vote and to receive dividends and other distributions. After any such issuance, recordation and delivery, the Grantee will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to such shares.
SECTION 4.    Taxes. The Grantee shall be responsible for paying to the Company promptly upon request, and in any event at the time the Grantee recognizes taxable income in respect of the cash or shares of Common Stock issued in respect of any PRSUs hereunder, an amount equal to the taxes, if any, that the Company determines it is required to withhold under applicable tax laws with respect to such cash or shares of Common Stock, in the manner of payment prescribed by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless and until the Company, in its discretion, allows or prescribes an alternate method of tax withholding upon notice to the Grantee prior to any given vesting date hereunder, the Company shall satisfy its applicable tax withholding obligations associated with the vesting or settlement of the PRSUs which are (i) settled in shares of Common Stock, by withholding from delivery upon the settlement of such PRSUs, shares of Common Stock having a fair market value (determined as of the date as to which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined) equal to the amount of taxes which the Company determines it is required to withhold under applicable tax laws; or (ii) settled in cash, by withholding an amount in cash equal to the amount of taxes which the Company determines it is required to withhold under applicable tax laws. The Grantee further agrees and acknowledges that all other taxes, duties and fees related to the PRSUs must be paid directly by the Grantee to the appropriate authorities, and that the Company may offset against any future compensation, earnings, bonus, expense reimbursements or incentive compensation of any kind amounts necessary to cover any tax withholding obligations of the Company associated with the PRSUs which have not been accounted for in a manner satisfactory to the Company.
SECTION 5.    Termination of Employment.
(a)    Effective as of the date of the Grantee’s termination of employment with the Company for any reason, all PRSUs which have not vested or as to which all restrictions have not lapsed in accordance with the Performance Matrix shall be cancelled, except to the extent the Company may otherwise determine.
(b)    Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon the Grantee or any other person the right to continue in the employment of the Company or affect any right which the Company may have to terminate the employment of the Grantee or any other person.
(c)    If the Grantee ceases employment with the Company and accepts employment with a competitor in violation of the Company’s Employee Agreement as to Confidentiality and Non-Competition to which the Grantee is a party (as may be amended from time to time, the “Non-Compete Agreement”), or any other non-competition agreement or covenant executed by the Grantee, then the value of any property issued in respect of PRSUs which vested during the 12-month period prior to the date of the violation shall be repaid to the Company by the Grantee, in

        



cash, based on the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date on which the underlying PRSUs vested and were settled, within 10 days of such acceptance of employment, and the Company is hereby authorized to deduct such amount from any other amounts otherwise due the Grantee.
SECTION 6.    Plan Provisions to Prevail. This Agreement shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions of the Plan, as may be amended from time to time, which are incorporated hereby and made a part hereof, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 2.9(c) of the Plan (generally prohibiting the sale of shares not owned or immediately issuable and failure to duly deliver shares in settlement), Section 3.2 of the Plan (generally relating to consents required by securities and other laws), Section 3.5 of the Plan (relating to changes in capitalization), Section 3.8(c) of the Plan (generally relating to waivers of claims to continued exercise or vesting of awards, damages and severance entitlements related to non-continuation of awards) and Section 3.11 of the Plan (generally relating to the effects of certain reorganizations and other extraordinary transactions). Any term defined in the Plan shall have the same meaning in this Agreement. In the event there is any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern, except in the event such inconsistency is caused by the provisions set forth on Schedule 3 of this Agreement, in which case Schedule 3 shall govern. In the event there is any inconsistency regarding the details of the grant between the records or communications of the Company’s outside Stock Plan Administrator and the resolutions and/or minutes of the Committee authorizing the award(s) subject to this Agreement, the Committee’s records shall prevail over the records, communications, databases and online summaries or presentations of those grant details furnished or maintained by the Company’s outside Stock Plan Administrator.
SECTION 7.    Grantee’s Acknowledgment. By entering into this Agreement, the Grantee agrees and acknowledges that (a) they have received, read and understand a copy of the Plan, including Section 3.8(c) of the Plan (generally relating to waivers of claims to continued exercise or vesting of awards, damages and severance entitlements related to non-continuation of awards), and this Agreement (including all exhibits and schedules hereto) and accepts the PRSUs upon all of the terms thereof, and (b) that no member of the Committee shall be liable for any Plan Action (as defined in the Plan), including without limitation any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any award thereunder or under this Agreement. The Grantee has reviewed with his or her own advisors the tax and other consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Grantee is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents with respect to all matters of this Agreement.
SECTION 8.    Nontransferability Prior to Settlement. No PRSUs granted to the Grantee under this Agreement shall be assignable or transferable by the Grantee (voluntarily or by operation of law), other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution prior to the settlement of the PRSUs set forth in the Plan and this Agreement applicable thereto. The Grantee may sell, assign and/or transfer any shares of Common Stock issued in respect of the PRSUs pursuant to this Agreement, in whole or in part, subject to compliance with the Company’s securities trading policies in effect from time to time.
SECTION 9.    Conditions.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the grant of the PRSUs under this Agreement is conditioned upon and subject to the Grantee’s execution and delivery to the Company of an executed copy of this Agreement (which shall be electronically accepted by the Grantee pursuant to processes prescribed by the Company).

        



(b)    By entering into this Agreement and as a condition for receiving the grant of the PRSUs under this Agreement, the Grantee agrees to fully comply in all respects with the terms of the Non-Compete Agreement, whether or not the Grantee is a signatory thereof, with the same effect as if the same were set forth herein in full.

SECTION 13.    Modifications to Agreement; Waivers. This Agreement may be altered, modified, changed or discharged in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

SECTION 14.    Other Company Actions. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent the Company from taking any action which is deemed by it to be appropriate or in its best interest, whether or not such action would have an adverse effect on the PRSUs granted under this Agreement. Neither the Grantee nor any other person shall have any claim against the Company as a result of any such action.
SECTION 15.    Committee Authority. The Committee shall have full authority to interpret, construe and administer the terms of this Agreement in its sole discretion.

SCHEDULE 1 TO PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
“PRSUs Performance Matrix”
The “target” number of PRSUs eligible to vest and be earned under this Agreement in accordance with this Schedule 1 is [________] (the “Target PRSUs”). However, the Grantee may be eligible to earn up to an additional 50% of Target PRSUs if the Average Vesting Percentage (as defined below) for the Performance Period based on the Performance Factor exceeds 100%. In no event shall the Grantee be eligible to earn more than 150% of the Target PRSUs.
The “Performance Period” shall be January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2020.
The “Performance Factor” shall be the Company’s consolidated worldwide Adjusted EBITDA (weighted 100%) target for each fiscal year of the Performance Period, as such targets are determined by the Committee from time to time at the commencement of each fiscal year within the Performance Period (the “Adjusted EBITDA Targets”).
The “Performance Slopes” are as follows:
% of Actual Achievement of Adjusted EBITDA Versus Adjusted EBITDA Targets
(the “Annual Performance Percentage”)
Adjusted EBITDA
LTIP Vesting %
(the “Annual Vesting Percentage”)*
(100% Weighting)
0%
0%
90%
0%
92%
20%
94%
40%
96%
60%
98%
80%
100% (“Target Level”)
100%
101%
105%
102%
110%
105%
125%
110%
150%
*Intermediate levels of achievement will be linearly interpolated.

The PRSUs are eligible to vest based on the average degree of the extent to which the Company actually achieves its annual Adjusted EBITDA relative to the Annual Adjusted EBITDA Targets for each fiscal year within the Performance Period, with the number of PRSUs eligible to vest being based on a percentage determined by the following methodology:

After each fiscal year within the Performance Period, the Company shall determine, subject to Committee certification, the percentage by which its actual Adjusted EBITDA for such fiscal year (as reported by management and certified by the Committee) achieves, exceeds or is less than such year’s Adjusted EBITDA Target (as reflected in the table above, the “Annual Performance Percentage”).
Using the Annual Performance Percentage, for each fiscal year within the Performance Period, the Company shall determine, subject to Committee certification, the Annual Vesting Percentage, based on the Performance Slopes.
After completion of the entire Performance Period, the Company shall determine, subject to Committee certification, the average of all of the Annual Vesting Percentages determined over the entire Performance Period (the “Average Vesting Percentage”).

        



The PRSUs will then be eligible to vest in or about March of the year following the completion of the Performance Period based on the Average Vesting Percentage.
The number of PRSUs that will be eligible to vest shall be determined by multiplying the Grantee’s Target PRSUs by the Average Vesting Percentage.
The Committee will determine the degree of attainment of the Average Vesting Percentage for the Performance Period and determine the total number of PRSUs (if any) that have been earned in respect of the Performance Period (the date such determination is made by the Committee, the “Performance-Based Vesting Date”).
Any PRSUs that vest shall be settled as soon as practicable following the Performance-Based Vesting Date.
On the Performance-Based Vesting Date, any PRSUs which do not vest in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall immediately be forfeited and cancelled.
The Committee retains all authority ascribed to it under the Plan to interpret, construe and administer the LTIP in its sole discretion.
In order for any PRSUs to become vested in respect of the Performance Period, (i) the Grantee must be employed by the Company on the Performance-Based Vesting Date; and (ii) the Grantee must not receive a performance rating of “1” (or its corresponding grade in the event the scoring system is changed during the Performance Period) based on the Company’s performance management system for any fiscal year within the Performance Period.
In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in Schedule 2) prior to the end of the Performance Period, the restrictions applicable to 100% of the Target PRSUs shall lapse as of immediately prior to the Change of Control, and any PRSUs that remain unvested after giving effect to the immediately preceding sentence shall be forfeited and cancelled as of the effective date of the Change of Control.
Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in the event of a Change of Control that occurs following the end of the Performance Period but prior to the Performance-Based Vesting Date, the percentage of PRSUs that will vest in respect of the Performance Period shall be determined based on the Average Vesting Percentage actually achieved.
Adjusted EBITDA” is a non-GAAP financial measure which the Company defines as income from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, gains/losses on foreign currency fluctuations and gains/losses on the early extinguishment of debt. This includes the benefit of synergies and cost reductions from the Elizabeth Arden acquisition and excludes certain other unusual items that are not directly attributable to the Company's underlying operating performance, such as net charges for restructuring and related actions, or represent unusual or one-time benefits or detriments, as approved by the Committee.

For purposes of this PRSU Award, the Company’s annual Adjusted EBITDA is measured after all incentive compensation accruals and excludes the impact of Foreign Exchange rates (using comparable rates). Exact definitions are subject to change based on Committee discretion.

The Company, subject to Committee certification, reserves the right to exclude unusual or one-time benefits or detriments from the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA results.

Exhibit


Exhibit 10.2
Restricted Stock Unit Agreement – 2018 LTIP – Time-Based
FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED REVLON, INC. STOCK PLAN
This RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated [__], 2018 is entered into between REVLON, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Revlon” and, together with Revlon’s affiliates, the “Company”), and [________] (the “Grantee”), subject to the Grantee’s acceptance of this Agreement. Schedules 1 (“Time-Based RSUs”), 2 (“Change of Control”) and 3 (“Terms and Conditions applicable to Non-U.S. Grantees”) attached to this Agreement are incorporated into, and constitute a part of, this Agreement.
Revlon’s Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) has determined that the objectives of the Fourth Amended and Restated Revlon, Inc. Stock Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), will be furthered by granting to the Grantee Restricted Stock Units, subject to certain restrictions, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter contained (the “RSUs” or the “RSU Award”). In consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual undertakings set forth in this Agreement, the Company and the Grantee agree as follows:

SECTION 1.Number of RSUs. The Company hereby grants to the Grantee [_____] RSUs, subject to such vesting, transfer and other restrictions and conditions as set forth in this Agreement, including in the Vesting Schedule (as defined below). The Grantee shall not be required to make any payment for the RSUs.
SECTION 2.    Restrictions.
(a)    Vesting of RSUs. Subject to the Plan and the other terms of this Agreement, the restrictions relating to the RSUs which are the subject of this Agreement shall lapse in accordance with the schedule set forth on Schedule 1 (the “Vesting Schedule”).
(b)    Settlement of RSUs. The RSUs shall be settled in accordance with the Vesting Schedule. Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of Revlon, Inc. Class A common stock (“Common Stock”) or the cash value thereof as of the respective vesting dates. Specifically, the RSUs shall be settled through either (i) the delivery of a number of shares of Common Stock with respect to the number of RSUs vested (in book-entry form or otherwise); or (ii) the delivery of an amount in cash equal to (x) the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the number of vested RSUs multiplied by (y) the closing price of a share of Common Stock on the date on which the applicable RSUs vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule, in each case, less applicable tax withholding amounts.
The decision to issue shares of Common Stock or the cash value thereof as of the respective vesting dates in connection with the settlement of any portion of the RSUs shall be in the Company’s sole discretion. No cash or shares of Common Stock shall be issued or delivered to the Grantee prior to the date on which the RSUs vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule and, prior to settlement, the RSUs will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company.
SECTION 3.    Rights as Stockholder. Neither the Grantee nor any person claiming under or through the Grantee will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any shares of Common Stock deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such shares of Common Stock (which may be in book-entry form) have been issued and recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars and delivered to the Grantee (including through electronic delivery to a brokerage account), including, but not limited

        



to, the right to vote and to receive dividends and other distributions. After any such issuance, recordation and delivery, the Grantee will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to such shares.
SECTION 4.    Taxes. The Grantee shall be responsible for paying to the Company promptly upon request, and in any event at the time the Grantee recognizes taxable income in respect of the cash or shares of Common Stock issued in respect of any RSUs hereunder, an amount equal to the taxes, if any, that the Company determines it is required to withhold under applicable tax laws with respect to such cash or shares of Common Stock, in the manner of payment prescribed by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless and until the Company, in its discretion, allows or prescribes an alternate method of tax withholding upon notice to the Grantee prior to any given vesting date hereunder, the Company shall satisfy its applicable tax withholding obligations associated with the vesting or settlement of the RSUs which are (i) settled in shares of Common Stock, by withholding from delivery upon the settlement of such RSUs, shares of Common Stock having a fair market value (determined as of the date as to which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined) equal to the amount of taxes which the Company determines it is required to withhold under applicable tax laws; or (ii) settled in cash, by withholding an amount in cash equal to the amount of taxes which the Company determines it is required to withhold under applicable tax laws. The Grantee further agrees and acknowledges that all other taxes, duties and fees related to the RSUs must be paid directly by the Grantee to the appropriate authorities, and that the Company may offset against any future compensation, earnings, bonus, expense reimbursements or incentive compensation of any kind amounts necessary to cover any tax withholding obligations of the Company associated with the RSUs which have not been accounted for in a manner satisfactory to the Company.
SECTION 5.    Termination of Employment.
(a)    Effective as of the date of the Grantee’s termination of employment with the Company for any reason, all RSUs which have not vested or as to which all restrictions have not lapsed in accordance with the Vesting Schedule shall be cancelled, except to the extent the Company may otherwise determine.
(b)    Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon the Grantee or any other person the right to continue in the employment of the Company or affect any right which the Company may have to terminate the employment of the Grantee or any other person.
(c)    If the Grantee ceases employment with the Company and accepts employment with a competitor in violation of the Company’s Employee Agreement as to Confidentiality and Non-Competition to which the Grantee is a party (as may be amended from time to time, the “Non-Compete Agreement”), or any other non-competition agreement or covenant executed by the Grantee, then the value of any property issued in respect of RSUs which vested during the 12-month period prior to the date of the violation shall be repaid to the Company by the Grantee, in cash, based on the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date on which the underlying RSUs vested and were settled, within 10 days of such acceptance of employment, and the Company is hereby authorized to deduct such amount from any other amounts otherwise due the Grantee.
SECTION 6.    Plan Provisions to Prevail. This Agreement shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions of the Plan, as may be amended from time to time, which are incorporated hereby and made a part hereof, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 2.9(c) of the

Any term defined in the Plan shall have the same meaning in this Agreement. In the event there is any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern, except in the event such inconsistency is caused by the provisions set forth on Schedule 3 of this Agreement, in which case Schedule 3 shall govern. In the event there is any inconsistency regarding the details of the grant between the records or communications of the Company’s outside Stock Plan Administrator and the resolutions and/or minutes of the Committee authorizing the award(s) subject to this Agreement, the Committee’s records shall prevail over the records, communications, databases and online summaries or presentations of those grant details furnished or maintained by the Company’s outside Stock Plan Administrator.

(b)    By entering into this Agreement and as a condition for receiving the grant of the RSUs pursuant to Section 1 hereof, the Grantee agrees to fully comply in all respects with the terms of the Non-Compete Agreement, whether or not the Grantee is a signatory thereof, with the same effect as if the same were set forth herein in full.
