REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLARS IN MILLIONS)
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Revlon, Inc. (the "Company") is a holding company, formed in April
1992, that conducts its business exclusively through its direct subsidiary,
Revlon Consumer Products Corporation, and its subsidiaries ("Products
Corporation"). The Company is an indirect majority owned subsidiary of
MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings Inc. ("MacAndrews Holdings"), a corporation wholly
owned through Mafco Holdings Inc. ("Mafco Holdings" and, together with
MacAndrews Holdings, "MacAndrews & Forbes") by Ronald O. Perelman.
The accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements are
unaudited. In management's opinion, all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been made.
The Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements include the
accounts of the Company after elimination of all material intercompany balances
and transactions. The Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions
relating to the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities and the reporting of revenues and expenses to prepare these
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Unaudited
Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.
The results of operations and financial position, including working
capital, for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be
expected for a full year, due, in part, to seasonal fluctuations, which are
normal for the Company's business.
The Company matches advertising and promotion expenses with sales
revenues for interim reporting purposes. Advertising and promotion expenses
estimated for a full year are charged to earnings for interim reporting purposes
in proportion to the relationship that net sales for such period bear to
estimated full year net sales. As a result, in the first half of 1999 and 1998,
disbursements and commitments for advertising and promotion exceeded advertising
and promotion expenses by $71.1 and $49.1, respectively, and such amounts were
deferred.
Effective January 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Position 98-5,
"Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities," which requires that costs
incurred during start-up activities, including organization costs, be expensed
as incurred. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on
the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

(3) BASIC AND DILUTED INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
The basic income (loss) per common share has been computed based upon
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each
of the periods presented. The diluted income (loss) per common share has been
computed based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding and the dilutive effect of stock options. The Company's outstanding
stock options represent the only dilutive potential common stock outstanding.
The number of shares used in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per
common share was greater than the number of shares used in the calculation of
basic income (loss) per common share by 1,378,722 for the three months ended
June 30, 1998. The number of shares used in the calculations of basic and
diluted loss per common share were the same for the three month and six month
periods ended June 30, 1999 and the six month period ended June 30, 1998,
respectively, as diluted loss per common share does not include any incremental
shares because the effect of those incremental shares assumed to be issued as a
result of the exercise of the related stock options would have been
antidilutive.
(4) BUSINESS CONSOLIDATION COSTS AND OTHER, NET
In the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company committed to a
restructuring plan to realign and reduce personnel, exit excess leased real
estate, realign and consolidate regional activities, reconfigure certain
manufacturing operations and exit certain product lines. In the first quarter
of 1999, the Company recorded a net charge of $8.2 relating to such
restructuring plan, principally for additional employee severance and other
personnel benefits, and continued to implement such restructuring plan during
the second quarter of 1999 during which it recorded a charge of $8.5
principally for employee severance and other personnel benefits as well as
other costs. Also in the second quarter of 1999, the Company adopted a plan to
exit a non-core business as to which a charge of $1.0 is included in the table
below. Of the 720 employees, the 22 employees and the 387 employees for whom
severance and other personnel benefits were included in the fourth quarter 1998
charge, the first quarter 1999 charge and the second quarter 1999 charge,
respectively, the Company had terminated 592 employees by June 30, 1999.
Details of the restructuring activity during the six month period
ended June 30, 1999 are as follows:

amount of 9 1/2% Senior Notes due 1999 (the "1999 Notes") with borrowings from
the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined). In November 1998, Products
Corporation issued and sold $250.0 principal amount of 9% Senior Notes due 2006
(the "9% Notes"), of which $200.0 was used to temporarily reduce borrowings
under the Credit Agreement in anticipation of the redemption referred to above.

(6) GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
The Company manages its business on the basis of one reportable
operating segment. The Company is exposed to the risk of changes in social,
political and economic conditions inherent in foreign operations and the
Company's results of operations and the value of its foreign assets and
liabilities are affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The
Company's operations in Brazil have accounted for approximately 3.8% and 5.4% of
the Company's net sales for the second quarter of 1999 and 1998, respectively,
and 4.0% and 5.7% of the Company's net sales for the first half of 1999 and
1998, respectively. Net sales by geographic area are presented by attributing
revenues from external customers on the basis of where the products are sold.

(7) SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On April 7, 1999 the Company announced that it would undertake a
review of strategic alternatives available to it to maximize shareholder value.
Among such alternatives is the possible sale of one or more businesses of the
Company, in which event the Company anticipates that the proceeds would be used
to pay down indebtedness. The Company has engaged financial advisors to assist
it in its review. On July 27, 1999, the Company confirmed that it is continuing
such review and is actively engaged in ongoing discussions with potential
purchasers of all or part of the Company's business. There can be no assurance
that any transaction will be completed as a result of this review.

NET SALES
Net sales were $553.4 and $575.3 for the second quarters of 1999 and
1998, respectively, a decrease of $21.9, or 3.8% on a reported basis (a
decrease of 1.2% on a constant U.S. dollar basis), and were $994.5 and $1,073.1
for the first half of 1999 and 1998, respectively, a decrease of $78.6, or 7.3%
on a reported basis (a decrease of 4.7% on a constant U.S. dollar basis).
United States. Net sales in the United States were $347.3 for the
second quarter of 1999 compared to $340.3 for the second quarter of 1998, an
increase of $7.0, or 2.1%, and were $597.1 for the first half of 1999 compared
to $624.0 for the first half of 1998, a decrease of $26.9, or 4.3%. Net sales
for the second quarter and first half of 1999 were adversely affected by
continuing adjustments in inventory levels by retailers, slower than
anticipated category growth and competitive activities. The Company expects
retail inventory balancing and reductions to continue to affect sales in 1999.
REVLON brand color cosmetics continued as the number one brand in
dollar market share in the U.S. self-select distribution channel. New products
in the first half of 1999 included EVERYLASH mascara, MOISTURESTAY SHEER LIP
COLOR, REVLON AGE DEFYING compact makeup, WET/DRY EYE SHADOW, ALMAY STAY SMOOTH
lip makeup and mascara, ALMAY FOUNDATION with the Skin Stays Clean attributes,
products in the ALMAY ONE COAT collection, MITCHUM COOL DRY antiperspirant and
COLORSTAY LIQUID LIP.

REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
(DOLLARS IN MILLIONS)
International. Net sales outside the United States were $206.1 for the
second quarter of 1999 compared to $235.0 for the comparable 1998 period, a
decrease of $28.9, or 12.3%, on a reported basis (a decrease of 6.1% on a
constant U.S. dollar basis), and were $397.4 for the first half of 1999
compared to $449.1 for the first half of 1998, a decrease of $51.7, or 11.5%,
on a reported basis (a decrease of 5.4% on a constant U.S. dollar basis). The
decrease in net sales for the second quarter and first half of 1999 on a
constant dollar basis is primarily due to unfavorable economic conditions in
certain markets outside the U.S., which restrained consumer and trade demand,
and lower sales in certain markets. The decrease in net sales for the second
quarter and first half of 1999 on a reported basis also reflects the
unfavorable effect on sales of a stronger U.S. dollar against certain foreign
currencies, particularly the Brazilian real and the South African rand. Sales
outside the United States are divided into three geographic regions. In Europe,
which is comprised of Europe, the Middle East and Africa, net sales decreased
by 11.9% on a reported basis to $93.7 for the second quarter of 1999 as
compared to the second quarter of 1998 (a decrease of 7.3% on a constant U.S.
dollar basis), and decreased by 11.6% on a reported basis to $182.2 for the
first half of 1999 as compared to the first half of 1998 (a decrease of 8.6% on
a constant U.S. dollar basis). In the Western Hemisphere, which is comprised of
Canada, Mexico, Central America, South America and Puerto Rico, net sales
decreased by 15.0% on a reported basis to $76.6 for the second quarter of 1999
as compared to the second quarter of 1998 (a decrease of 2.8% on a constant
U.S. dollar basis), and decreased by 14.7% on a reported basis to $146.3 for
the first half of 1999 as compared to the first half of 1998 (a decrease of
1.1% on a constant U.S. dollar basis). The Company's operations in Brazil are
significant. In Brazil, net sales were $20.8 on a reported basis for the second
quarter of 1999 compared to $30.8 for the second quarter of 1998, a decrease of
$10.0, or 32.5% (an increase of 1.5% on a constant U.S. dollar basis), and were
$39.4 for the first half of 1999 on a reported basis compared to $61.2 for the
first half of 1998, a decrease of $21.8, or 35.6% (a decrease of 1.4% on a
constant U.S. dollar basis). On a reported basis, net sales in Brazil were
adversely affected by the stronger U.S. dollar against the Brazilian real. In
the Far East, net sales decreased by 7.0% on a reported basis to $35.8 for the
second quarter of 1999 as compared to the second quarter of 1998 (a decrease of
10.2% on a constant U.S. dollar basis), and decreased by 3.6% on a reported
basis to $68.9 for the first half of 1999 as compared to the first half of 1998
(a decrease of 5.3% on a constant U.S. dollar basis). Net sales outside the
United States, including, without limitation, in Brazil, were, and may continue
to be, adversely impacted by generally weak economic conditions, political and
economic uncertainties, including, without limitation, currency fluctuations
and competitive activities in certain markets.
Cost of sales
As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales was 33.4% for the second
quarter of 1999 compared to 33.7% for the second quarter of 1998, and 34.2% for
the first half of 1999 compared to 33.3% for the first half of 1998. The
increase in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for the first half of
1999 compared to the first half of 1998 is due to changes in product mix, the
effect of weaker local currencies on the cost of imported purchases by
subsidiaries outside the U.S. and the effect of lower net sales.
SG&A expenses
As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 58.7% for the second
quarter of 1999 compared to 57.3% for the second quarter of 1998, and were
60.1% for the first half of 1999 compared to 59.2% for the first half of 1998.
SG&A expenses were $324.6 for the second quarter of 1999 compared to $329.8 for
the second quarter of 1998, and were $597.5 for the first half of 1999 compared
to $635.6 for the first half of 1998. SG&A expenses in the 1999 periods reflect
increased brand support as a percentage of net sales offset by reduced general
and administrative expenses, due in part to the cost savings achieved from the
Company's restructuring program. The Company's advertising and consumer-
directed promotion expenditures were incurred to support existing product
lines, new product launches and increased distribution.
Business consolidation costs and other, net
In the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company committed to a
restructuring plan to realign and reduce personnel, exit excess leased real
estate, realign and consolidate regional activities, reconfigure certain
manufacturing operations and exit certain product lines. In the first quarter
of 1999, the Company recorded a net charge of $8.2 relating to such
restructuring plan, principally for additional employee severance and other
personnel benefits and continued to implement such restructuring plan during
the second quarter of 1999 during which it recorded a charge of $8.5
principally for employee severance and other personnel benefits as well as
other costs. Also in the second quarter of 1999, the Company adopted a plan to
exit a non-core business as to which a charge of $1.0 is included in business
consolidation costs and other, net.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
(DOLLARS IN MILLIONS)
Operating income
As a result of the foregoing, operating income decreased to $34.4 for
the second quarter of 1999 from $51.5 for the second quarter of 1998 and
decreased to $38.7 for the first half of 1999 from $80.2 for the first half of
1998.
Other expenses/income
Interest expense was $35.9 for the second quarter of 1999 compared to
$33.6 for the second quarter of 1998 and $71.8 for the first half of 1999
compared to $70.3 for the first half of 1998. The increase in interest expense
for the second quarter and first half of 1999 as compared to the comparable
1998 periods is due to higher average outstanding debt and higher interest
rates under the Credit Agreement, partially offset by lower interest rates as
a result of the refinancings in 1998.
Foreign currency losses, net were nil for the second quarter of 1999
compared to $1.3 in the second quarter of 1998 and nil for the first half of
1999 compared to $2.8 for the first half of 1998. Foreign currency losses, net
for the second quarter of 1998 were comprised primarily of losses in several
markets in Europe. Foreign currency losses, net for the first half of 1998 were
comprised primarily of losses in several markets in Europe and Latin America.
Provision for income taxes
The provision for income taxes was $1.8 for the second quarter of 1999
compared to $3.4 for the second quarter of 1998 and $3.7 for the first half of
1999 compared to $7.1 for the first half of 1998. The decrease was primarily
attributable to lower taxable income outside the United States in the second
quarter and first half of 1999 as compared with the corresponding prior year
periods.
Discontinued operations
During 1998, the Company determined to exit the retail and outlet store
business comprised of its approximately 85% ownership interest in The Cosmetic
Center, Inc. ("CCI") and accordingly, the results of operations of CCI have been
reported as discontinued operations for the 1998 periods. By the end of 1998,
the Company completed the disposition of its approximately 85% equity interest
in CCI.
Extraordinary items
The extraordinary item of $13.5 in the second quarter of 1998 resulted
from the write-off of deferred financing costs and payment of a call premium
associated with the redemption in April 1998 of Products Corporation's 9 3/8%
Senior Notes due 2001 (the "Senior Notes"). The first half of 1998 also included
an extraordinary item of $38.2 resulting primarily from the write-off of
deferred financing costs and payment of call premiums associated with the
redemption in March 1998 of Products Corporation's 10 1/2% Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2003 (the "Senior Subordinated Notes").
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash used for operating activities was $56.2 and $63.1 for the
first half of 1999 and 1998, respectively. The decrease in net cash used for
operating activities for the first half of 1999 compared to the first half of
1998 resulted primarily from improved working capital management, partially
offset by lower operating income and cash used for business consolidation costs
in the first half of 1999.
Net cash used for investing activities was $20.0 and $80.3 for the
first half of 1999 and 1998, respectively. Net cash used for investing
activities in the 1998 period included cash paid in connection with
acquisitions. Both periods included capital expenditures.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $71.5 and $151.0 for the
first half of 1999 and 1998, respectively. Net cash provided by financing
activities for the first half of 1999 included cash drawn under the Credit
Agreement, partially offset by repayments of borrowings under the Credit
Agreement, redemption of the 1999 Notes and repayments under Products
Corporation's Japanese yen-denominated credit agreement (the "Yen Credit
Agreement"). Net cash provided by financing
11
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
(DOLLARS IN MILLIONS)
activities for the first half of 1998 included proceeds from the issuance of
Products Corporation's 8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 (the "8 5/8%
Notes") and Products Corporation's 8 1/8% Senior Notes due 2006 (the "8 1/8%
Notes") and cash drawn under the Credit Agreement, partially offset by the
payment of fees and expenses related to the issuance of the 8 5/8% Notes and
8 1/8% Notes, the redemption of the Senior Subordinated Notes and the Senior
Notes, and the repayment of borrowings under the Yen Credit Agreement. During
the first half of 1998, net cash used by discontinued operations was $7.4.
In May 1997, Products Corporation entered into a credit agreement (as
subsequently amended, the "Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of lenders,
whose individual members change from time to time. The proceeds of loans made
under the Credit Agreement were used for the purpose of repaying the loans
outstanding under the credit agreement in effect at that time and to redeem
Products Corporation's 10 7/8% Sinking Fund Debentures due 2010 and were and
will be used for general corporate purposes and, in the case of the Acquisition
Facility (as hereinafter defined), the financing of acquisitions. The Credit
Agreement provides up to $748.0 and is comprised of five senior secured
facilities: $198.0 in two term loan facilities (the "Term Loan Facilities"), a
$300.0 multi-currency facility (the "Multi-Currency Facility"), a $200.0
revolving acquisition facility, which may also be used for general corporate
purposes and which may be increased to $400.0 under certain circumstances with
the consent of a majority of the lenders (the "Acquisition Facility"), and a
$50.0 special standby letter of credit facility (the "Special LC Facility"). At
June 30, 1999, the Company had approximately $198.0 outstanding under the Term
Loan Facilities, $146.4 outstanding under the Multi-Currency Facility, $190.0
outstanding under the Acquisition Facility and $28.8 of issued but undrawn
letters of credit under the Special LC Facility.
A subsidiary of Products Corporation is the borrower under the Yen
Credit Agreement, which had a principal balance of approximately (Yen)1.0
billion as of June 30, 1999 (approximately $8.4 U.S. dollar equivalent as of
June 30, 1999) after giving effect to the payment of approximately (Yen)539
million (approximately $4.6 U.S. dollar equivalent) in March 1999.
Approximately (Yen)539 million (approximately $4.5 U.S. dollar equivalent as of
June 30, 1999) is due in March 2000 and approximately (Yen) 474 million
(approximately $3.9 U.S. dollar equivalent as of June 30, 1999) is due on
December 31, 2000.
On June 1, 1999, Products Corporation redeemed the $200.0 principal
amount of 1999 Notes with borrowings from the Credit Agreement. In November
1998, Products Corporation issued and sold $250.0 principal amount of 9% Notes,
of which $200.0 was used to temporarily reduce borrowings under the Credit
Agreement in anticipation of the redemption referred to above.
Products Corporation borrows funds from its affiliates from time to
time to supplement its working capital borrowings at interest rates more
favorable to Products Corporation than interest rates under the Credit
Agreement. No such borrowings were outstanding as of June 30, 1999.
The Company's principal sources of funds are expected to be cash flow
generated from operations and borrowings under the Credit Agreement,
refinancings and other existing working capital lines. The Credit Agreement,
the 8 5/8% Notes, the 8 1/8% Notes and the 9% Notes contain certain provisions
that by their terms limit Products Corporation's and/or 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, working
capital and capital expenditure requirements, expenses in connection with the
Company's restructuring referred to above and debt service payments.
The Company estimates that capital expenditures for 1999 will be
approximately $60, including upgrades to the Company's management information
systems. The Company estimates that cash payments related to the restructuring
plans referred to above will be approximately $55, of which approximately $35
will be paid in 1999. Pursuant to a tax sharing agreement, Revlon, Inc. may be
required to make tax sharing payments to Mafco Holdings Inc. as if Revlon, Inc.
were filing separate income tax returns, except that no payments are required by
Revlon, Inc. if and to the extent that Products Corporation is prohibited under
the Credit Agreement from making tax sharing payments to Revlon, Inc. The Credit
Agreement prohibits Products Corporation from making any tax sharing payments
other than in respect of state and local income taxes. Revlon, Inc. currently
anticipates that, as a result of net operating tax losses and prohibitions under
the Credit Agreement, no cash federal tax payments or cash payments in lieu of
federal taxes pursuant to the tax sharing agreement will be required for 1999.
Products Corporation enters into forward foreign exchange contracts
and option contracts from time to time to hedge certain cash flows denominated
in foreign currencies. Products Corporation had forward foreign exchange
contracts denominated in various currencies of approximately $27.6 and $38.3
(U.S. dollar equivalent) outstanding at June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively,
and option contracts of approximately $23.9 and $49.6 outstanding at June 30,
1999 and 1998, respectively. Such
12
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
(DOLLARS IN MILLIONS)
contracts are entered into to hedge transactions predominantly occurring within
twelve months. If Products Corporation had terminated these contracts on June
30, 1999 and 1998 no material gain or loss would have been realized.
Based upon the Company's current level of operations and anticipated
growth in net sales and earnings, the Company expects that cash flows from
operations and funds from currently available credit facilities and
refinancings of existing indebtedness will be sufficient to enable the Company
to meet its anticipated cash requirements for the foreseeable future on a
consolidated basis, including for debt service. However, there can be no
assurance that cash flow from operations and funds from existing credit
facilities and refinancings of existing indebtedness will be sufficient to meet
the Company's cash requirements on a consolidated basis. If the Company is
unable to satisfy such cash requirements, the Company could be required to
adopt one or more alternatives, such as reducing or delaying capital
expenditures, restructuring indebtedness, selling assets or operations, or
seeking capital contributions or loans from affiliates of the Company or
issuing additional shares of capital stock of Revlon, Inc. Revlon, Inc., as a
holding company, will be dependent on the earnings and cash flow of, and
dividends and distributions from, Products Corporation to pay its expenses and
to pay any cash dividend or distribution on the Class A Common Stock that may
be authorized by the Board of Directors of Revlon, Inc. There can be no
assurance that any of such actions could be effected, that they would enable
the Company to continue to satisfy its capital requirements or that they would
be permitted under the terms of the Company's various debt instruments then in
effect. The terms of the Credit Agreement, the 8 5/8% Notes, the 8 1/8% Notes
and the 9% Notes generally restrict Products Corporation from paying dividends
or making distributions, except that Products Corporation is permitted to pay
dividends and make distributions to Revlon, Inc., among other things, to enable
Revlon, Inc. to pay expenses incidental to being a public holding company,
including, among other things, professional fees such as legal and accounting,
regulatory fees such as Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
filing fees and other miscellaneous expenses related to being a public holding
company and to pay dividends or make distributions in certain circumstances to
finance the purchase by Revlon, Inc. of its Class A Common Stock in connection
with the delivery of such Class A Common Stock to grantees under the Revlon,
Inc. Second Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Plan, provided that the aggregate
amount of such dividends and distributions taken together with any purchases of
Revlon, Inc. common stock on the open market to satisfy matching obligations
under the excess savings plan may not exceed $6.0 per annum.
YEAR 2000
Commencing in 1997, the Company undertook a business process
enhancement program to substantially upgrade management information technology
systems in order to provide comprehensive order processing, production and
accounting support for the Company's business. The Company also developed a
comprehensive plan to address Year 2000 issues. The Year 2000 plan addresses
three main areas: (a) information technology systems; (b) non-information
technology systems (including factory equipment, building systems and other
embedded systems); and (c) business partner readiness (including without
limitation customers, inventory and non-inventory suppliers, service suppliers,
banks, insurance companies and tax and other governmental agencies). To oversee
the process, the Company has established a Steering Committee comprised of
senior executives of the Company.
In connection with and as part of the Company's business process
enhancement program, certain information technology systems have been and will
continue to be upgraded to be Year 2000 compliant. In addition, as part of its
Year 2000 plan, the Company has identified potential deficiencies related to
Year 2000 in certain of its information technology systems, both hardware and
software, and is in the process of addressing them through upgrades and other
remediation. The Company currently expects to complete upgrade and remediation
and testing of its information systems during the third quarter of 1999. In
respect of non-information technology systems with date sensitive operating
controls, the Company is in the process of identifying those items which may
require remediation or replacement, and has commenced an upgrade and
remediation program for systems identified as Year 2000 non-compliant. The
Company expects to complete remediation or replacement and testing of these
during the third quarter of 1999. The Company has identified and contacted and
continues to identify and contact key suppliers, both inventory and
non-inventory, key customers and other strategic business partners, such as
banks, pension trust managers and marketing data suppliers, either by
soliciting written responses to questionnaires and/or by meeting with certain
of such third parties. The parties from whom the Company has received responses
to date generally have indicated that their systems are or will be Year 2000
compliant.
The Company does not expect that incremental out-of-pocket costs of its
Year 2000 program (which do not include costs incurred in connection with the
Company's comprehensive business process enhancement program) will be material.
These costs
13
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
(DOLLARS IN MILLIONS)
are expected to continue to be incurred through fiscal 1999 and include the
cost of third party consultants, remediation of existing computer software and
replacement and remediation of embedded systems.
The Company believes that at the current time it is difficult to
identify specifically the most reasonably likely worst case Year 2000 scenario.
As with all manufacturers and distributors of products such as those sold by
the Company, a reasonable worst case scenario would be the result of failures
of third parties (including, without limitation, governmental entities and
entities with which the Company has no direct involvement, as well as the
Company's suppliers of goods and services and customers) that continue for more
than a brief period in various geographic areas where the Company's products
are produced or sold at retail or in areas from which the Company's raw
materials and components are sourced. In connection with functions that
represent a particular Year 2000 risk, including the production, warehousing
and distribution of products and the supply of raw materials and components,
the Company is considering various contingency plans. Continuing failures in
key geographic areas in the United States and in certain European, South
American and Asian countries that limit the Company's ability to produce
products, its customers' ability to purchase and pay for the Company's products
and/or consumers' ability to shop, would be likely to have a material adverse
effect on the Company's results of operations and financial condition, although
it would be expected that at least part of any lost sales eventually would be
recouped. The extent of such deferred or lost revenue cannot be estimated at
this time.
The Company's Year 2000 efforts are ongoing and its overall plan, as
well as the consideration of contingency plans, will continue to evolve as new
information becomes available. While the Company currently anticipates
continuity of its business activities, that continuity will be dependent upon
its ability, and the ability of third parties upon which the Company relies
directly, or indirectly, to be Year 2000 compliant. There can be no assurance
that the Company and such third parties will eliminate potential Year 2000
issues in a timely manner or as to the ultimate cost to the Company of doing
so.
EURO CONVERSION
As part of the European Economic and Monetary Union, a single currency
(the "Euro") will replace the national currencies of the principal European
countries (other than the United Kingdom) in which the Company conducts
business and manufacturing. The conversion rates between the Euro and the
participating nations' currencies were fixed as of January 1, 1999, with the
participating national currencies being removed from circulation between
January 1, 2002 and June 30, 2002 and replaced by Euro notes and coinage.
During the transition period from January 1, 1999 through December 31, 2001,
public and private entities as well as individuals may pay for goods and
services using checks, drafts, or wire transfers denominated either in the Euro
or the participating country's national currency. Under the regulations
governing the transition to a single currency, there is a "no compulsion, no
prohibition" rule which states that no one can be prevented from using the Euro
after January 1, 2002 and no one is obliged to use the Euro before July 2002.
In keeping with this rule, the Company expects to either continue using the
national currencies or the Euro for invoicing or payments. Based upon the
information currently available, the Company does not expect that the
transition to the Euro will have a material adverse effect on the business or
consolidated financial condition of the Company.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company has exposure to market risk both as a result of changing
interest rates and movements in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company's
policy is to manage market risk through a combination of fixed and floating
rate debt, the use of derivative financial instruments and foreign exchange
forward and option contracts. The Company does not hold or issue financial
instruments for trading purposes. The qualitative and quantitative information
presented in Item 7A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1998 describe significant aspects of the Company's financial
instrument programs which have material market risk. As referred to above, on
June 1, 1999, Products Corporation redeemed the $200.0 principal amount of 1999
Notes with borrowings from Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 1999 there have
been no other substantive changes in the qualitative and quantitative
information presented in Item 7A at December 31, 1998.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 1999
as well as other public documents of the Company contain forward-looking
statements which involve risks and uncertainties. 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 and
estimates as to introduction of new products and expansion into markets, future
financial performance, including growth in net sales and earnings, the effect
on sales of retail inventory balancing and reductions, the effect on sales of
political and/or economic conditions and competitive activities in certain
markets, the Company's estimate of restructuring activities, costs and
benefits, cash flow from operations, information systems upgrades, the
Company's plan to address the Year 2000 issue, the costs associated with the
Year 2000 issue and the results of Year 2000 non-compliance by the Company or
by one or more of the Company's customers, suppliers or other strategic
business partners, capital expenditures, the Company's qualitative and
quantitative estimates as to market risk sensitive instruments, the Company's
expectations about the effects of the transition to the Euro, the availability
of funds from currently available credit facilities and refinancings of
indebtedness, and capital contributions or loans from affiliates or the sale of
assets or operations or additional shares of Revlon, Inc. and Revlon, Inc.'s
intent with respect to and the possible results of its review of strategic
alternatives. 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 "believe," "expects," "may," "will,"
"should," "seeks," "plans," "scheduled to," "anticipates" or "intends" or the
negative of those terms, or other variations of those terms or comparable
language, or by discussions of strategy or intentions. Forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes
no obligation to update them. A number of important factors could cause actual
results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking
statement. In addition to factors that may be described in the Company's
filings with the Commission, 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)
difficulties or delays in developing and introducing new products or failure of
customers to accept new product offerings; (ii) changes in consumer
preferences, including reduced consumer demand for the Company's color
cosmetics and other current products; (iii) difficulties or delays in the
Company's continued expansion into the self-select distribution channel and
into certain markets and development of new markets; (iv) unanticipated costs
or difficulties or delays in completing projects associated with the Company's
strategy to improve operating efficiencies, including information system
upgrades; (v) the inability to refinance indebtedness, secure capital
contributions or loans from affiliates or sell assets or operations or
additional shares of Revlon, Inc.; (vi) effects of and changes in political
and/or economic conditions, including inflation and monetary conditions, and in
trade, monetary, fiscal and tax policies in international markets, including
but not limited to Brazil; (vii) actions by competitors, including business
combinations, technological breakthroughs, new products offerings and marketing
and promotional successes; (viii) combinations among significant customers or
the loss, insolvency or failure to pay debts by a significant customer or
customers; (ix) lower than expected sales as a result of a longer than expected
duration of retail inventory balancing and reductions; (x) difficulties, delays
or unanticipated costs or less than expected benefits resulting from the
Company's restructuring activities; (xi) interest rate or foreign exchange rate
changes affecting the Company and its market sensitive financial instruments;
(xii) difficulties, delays or unanticipated costs associated with the
transition to the Euro; (xiii) difficulties, delays or unanticipated costs in
achieving Year 2000 compliance or unanticipated consequences from
non-compliance by the Company or one or more of the Company's customers,
suppliers or other strategic business partners; and (xiv) difficulties or
delays in reviewing strategic alternatives or the failure to complete any
transaction in connection therewith.
EFFECT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which establishes accounting
and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities.
The effect of adopting the statement and the date of such adoption by the
Company have not yet been determined. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No.
137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral
of the Effective Date of SFAS No. 133, an Amendment of SFAS No. 133," which has
delayed the required implementation of SFAS No. 133 such that the Company must
adopt this new standard no later than January 1, 2001.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT amended and restated as of this 10th day of May,
1999, effective as of January 1, 1997, between REVLON CONSUMER PRODUCTS
CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("RCPC" and, together with its parent
Revlon, Inc. and its subsidiaries, the "Company"), and GEORGE FELLOWS (the
"Executive").
RCPC wishes to continue the employment of the Executive with the
Company, and the Executive wishes to accept continued employment with the
Company, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
Accordingly, RCPC and the Executive hereby agree as follows:
Employment, Duties and Acceptance.
1.1 Employment, Duties. RCPC hereby employs the Executive for the Term
(as defined in Section 2.1), to render exclusive and full-time services to the
Company, in the capacity of chief executive officer of Revlon, Inc., and to
perform such other duties consistent with such position (including service as a
director or officer of any affiliate of Revlon, Inc., if elected) as may be
assigned by the Board of Directors of Revlon, Inc. The Executive's title shall
be President and Chief Executive Officer, or such other titles of at least
equivalent level consistent with the Executive's duties from time to time as
may be assigned to the Executive by the Board of Directors of Revlon, Inc.
1.2 Acceptance. The Executive hereby accepts such employment and
agrees to render the services described above. During the Term, the Executive
agrees to serve the Company faithfully and to the best of the Executive's
ability, to devote the Executive's entire business time, energy and skill to
such employment, and to use the Executive's best efforts, skill and ability to
promote the Company's interests.
1.3 Location. The duties to be performed by the Executive hereunder
shall be performed primarily at the office of Revlon, Inc. in the New York City
metropolitan area, subject to reasonable travel requirements consistent with
the nature of the Executive's duties from time to time on behalf of the
Company.
2. Term of Employment; Certain Post-Term Benefits.
2.1 The Term. The term of the Executive's employment under this
Agreement (the "Term") shall commence on January 1, 1997 (the "Effective Date")
and shall end on such date as is provided pursuant to Section 2.2.
2.2 End-of-Term Provisions. At any time on or after November 30, 2000
RCPC shall have the right to give written notice of non-renewal of the Term. In
the event RCPC gives such notice of non-renewal, the Term automatically shall
be extended so that it ends twenty-four months after the last day of the month
in which RCPC gives such notice. If RCPC shall not
theretofore have given such notice, from and after December 31, 2002 unless and
until RCPC gives written notice of non-renewal as provided in this Section 2.2,
the Term automatically shall be extended day-by-day; upon the giving of such
notice by RCPC, the Term automatically shall be extended so that it ends
twenty-four months after the last day of the month in which RCPC gives such
notice. Non-extension of the Term shall not be deemed to be a breach of this
Agreement by RCPC for purposes of Section 4.4, provided, however, that during
any period that the Executive's employment shall continue following termination
of the Term, the Executive shall be eligible for severance on terms no less
favorable than those of the Revlon Executive Severance Policy as in effect on
the date of this Agreement (other than the provision in Paragraph IIIC(ii)
establishing a limit of six months on the lump sum provided for therein, which
shall not be applicable to the Executive) upon the Executive's compliance with
the terms thereof, and the Executive shall be deemed to be an employee at will.
2.3 Special Curtailment. The Term shall end earlier than the date
provided in Section 2.2, if sooner terminated pursuant to Section 4.
3. Compensation; Benefits.
3.1 Salary. As compensation for all services to be rendered pursuant
to this Agreement, RCPC agrees to pay the Executive during the Term a base
salary, payable bi-weekly in arrears, at the annual rate of not less than
$1,250,000 during 1997, and not less than $1,800,000 during the balance of the
Term (the "Base Salary"). All payments of Base Salary or other compensation
hereunder shall be less such deductions or withholdings as are required by
applicable law and regulations. In the event that RCPC, in its sole discretion,
from time to time determines to increase the Base Salary, such increased amount
shall, from and after the effective date of the increase, constitute "Base
Salary" for purposes of this Agreement.
3.2 Bonus. In addition to the amounts to be paid to the Executive
pursuant to Section 3.1, the Executive shall receive a maximum annual bonus of
100% of the Executive's Base Salary (based upon a target bonus of 100% of the
Executive's Base Salary) at the rate in effect during the calendar year in
which bonus is earned, based upon achievement of objectives set annually not
later than March 31 of such year by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors of Revlon, Inc. If the Executive's employment shall end pursuant to
Section 4.2 at any time during the Term or pursuant to Section 4.4 at any time
prior to the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Executive's bonus with
respect to the calendar year in which the termination occurs shall be an amount
equal to the bonus that would have been payable to the Executive with respect
to such year if the Executive had remained employed to the date for payment of
bonuses under such Plan, multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator is the
number of days of the Term during such year and the denominator is 365. If the
Executive's employment shall end pursuant to Section 4.4 on or after the
occurrence of a Triggering Event, then in addition to the payments in lieu of
salary provided for in Section 4.4, the Executive shall be entitled to receive
at the same times bi-weekly payments in lieu of target bonus at the annual rate
equal to 100% of Base Salary, for the period of such payments in lieu of salary
provided for in Section 4.4.
2
3.3 Stock Options. The Executive shall be recommended to the
Compensation Committee or other committee of the Board administering the
Revlon, Inc. Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Plan or any plan that may replace
it, as from time to time in effect, to receive an option not later than
February 28 of each year of the Term, commencing in 1997, each such option to
cover a minimum of 170,000 shares of Revlon common stock, have a term of 10
years and have an option exercise price equal to the market price of the Revlon
common stock on the date of grant and otherwise to be on terms (other than
number of shares covered) substantially the same as other senior executives of
the Company generally, provided that if the Term is to end pursuant to Section
2.2 otherwise than at a calendar year end, the Company shall not be required to
recommend that the stock option to be granted to the Executive with respect to
such final year of the Term cover more than that number of shares that is the
product of multiplying the annual grant provided for above by a fraction of
which the numerator is the number of days of the Term during such final year
and the denominator is 365, and provided further that this Section 3.3 shall
not apply following a Triggering Event as defined in Section 4.4. In connection
with any termination of the Executive's employment pursuant to Section 4.2 or
4.4, RCPC shall recommend to the Compensation Committee (or other committee of
the Board of Directors at the time administering the Revlon Stock Plan or any
successor plan pursuant to which stock options shall have been granted to the
Executive) that the Executive shall be treated as having retired with Company
consent for all purposes of such plan.
3.4 Business Expenses. RCPC shall pay or reimburse the Executive for
all reasonable expenses actually incurred or paid by the Executive during the
Term in the performance of the Executive's services under this Agreement,
subject to and in accordance with applicable expense reimbursement and related
policies and procedures as in effect from time to time.
3.5 Vacation. During each year of the Term, the Executive shall be
entitled to a vacation period or periods of four weeks taken in accordance with
applicable vacation policy as in effect from time to time.
3.6 Fringe Benefits.
(i) During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in
those qualified and non-qualified defined benefit, defined contribution, group
insurance, medical, dental, disability and other benefit plans of the Company
as from time to time in effect made available to senior executives of the
Company generally and in the Company's Executive Medical Plan providing for
reimbursement of medical and dental benefits not payable under plans generally
available. In addition, in accordance with the directives of the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors, during the Term the Executive shall use
Company-provided private corporate jet aviation for the business and personal
air travel of himself and his immediate family and shall be assigned the use of
a Company-provided chauffeured automobile during the business week for personal
and business use and at other times as required for business purposes, and
shall be grossed up for the tax effects of such use. Further, during the Term
the Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement for tax preparation and
financial counseling services as reasonably required, shall be entitled to the
use of a Company-provided automobile in accordance with the
3
Company's executive automobile policy and guidelines as from time to time in
effect, and the Executive shall be reimbursed for the initiation fees, dues,
assessments and like fees for membership in one country club of the Executive's
choice.
(ii) During the Term, RCPC agrees to make available to the Executive
additional life insurance coverage with a death benefit of three times the
Executive's Base Salary from time to time, subject to the insurer's
satisfaction with the results of any required medical examination, to which the
Executive hereby agrees to submit, and shall reimburse the Executive for the
premium expense related thereto and gross the Executive up for the tax payable
with respect to such reimbursement. Such coverage shall be provided pursuant to
the Company's optional supplemental term insurance program, if available, or if
not, the Executive may select a plan of the Executive's choice and may
designate the beneficiary of such plan.
(iii) During the Term RCPC shall maintain an individual policy of
disability insurance, naming the Executive as the insured and the Executive or
a designee as the beneficiary, with a benefit equal to (A) fifty percent of the
sum of the Executive's Base Salary in effect on the date of disability plus the
Executive's most recent annual bonus pursuant to Section 3.2 less (B) the
long-term disability benefit payable under the Company's group disability
program as in effect from time to time (irrespective of whether the Executive
has elected to participate in such long-term disability program), and upon the
Executive's retirement in accordance with the requirements of the Company's
former supplemental employees' retirement plan the Company shall provide to the
Executive a death benefit equal to two times the Executive's final Base Salary
(which benefit may be provided from insurance or from the Company's
unsegregated general funds, as RCPC may elect).
(iv) In furtherance of the Executive's retirement benefit
expectations, and without limiting the Company's ability to modify, in any way,
any or all of its defined benefit plans, RCPC agrees to guarantee to the
Executive a minimum monthly pension as set forth below:
(a) Commencing with retirement on or after January 1, 2003
RCPC shall pay or provide a monthly straight life annuity pension
amount of $41,667, reduced by the actuarial equivalent of all benefits
paid or payable (calculated on a straight life annuity basis) to or in
respect of the Executive under (i) the Revlon Employees Retirement
Plan, the Revlon Pension Equalization Plan, any predecessor thereto
and any successor thereto, (ii) any other defined benefit retirement
plan, whether or not tax qualified, maintained by any present or
future affiliate of the present controlling person of MacAndrews &
Forbes Holdings, Inc., including Revlon, Inc. while it is so
affiliated (a "MacAndrews Group Company"), in each case without regard
to whether the plan has previously terminated, is being currently
maintained or is established and maintained in the future. Such offset
for benefits under other plans shall be determined as of the day this
pension starts and shall not be subsequently adjusted on account of
any subsequent benefit accruals or change in benefit amounts expected
under such other plans, whether on account of the Executive's death or
otherwise.
4
(b) The Executive may elect to have the pension determined
pursuant to subsection (a) above paid as an actuarially equivalent
joint and 50% survivor annuity with his spouse as beneficiary if she
shall survive the Executive and be legally married to the Executive at
the time of his death. Such election shall be made by the Executive
not later than 90 days before the pension benefit is to start and
shall take effect only if the Executive and his spouse are alive and
married to each other on the day the pension starts. If the
Executive's spouse dies after the pension starts and before the
Executive, no adjustment shall be made to the amount of annual pension
payable to the Executive.
(c) If the Executive dies before January 1, 2003, a lifetime
pension shall be payable to the spouse, if any, to whom the Executive
was legally married on the date of his death, commencing on January 1,
2003, in a monthly amount determined as if the Executive had survived
to that date and had then elected to have his benefit paid as an
actuarially equivalent joint and 50% survivor annuity with his spouse
as beneficiary.
(d) For purposes of determining actuarial equivalence, the
following assumptions shall be used: an interest rate equal to the AA
corporate bond long term rate in effect on the first day of the month
preceding the month in which the benefit is to start, the 1983 Group
Annuity Mortality Table, and otherwise the reasonable actuarial
assumptions and methods selected by RCPC's primary actuary.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no
supplemental pension shall be payable pursuant to this subsection
3.6(iv), and any amounts then being paid shall cease and the Executive
shall immediately reimburse the Company for amounts theretofore paid,
in the event that (x) prior to January 1, 2003 the Executive
terminates his employment otherwise than as provided in Section 4.4,
(y) the Executive materially breaches this Agreement (including
Section 5, 6 or 7) or (z) RCPC terminates the Executive's employment
(under this Agreement or otherwise) for "cause" as set forth in
Section 4.3 of this Agreement.
(f) Payments pursuant to this clause (iv) shall be made
quarterly or at such more frequent intervals as RCPC may elect. RCPC's
obligation under this clause (iv) shall be an unsecured, unfunded and
unaccrued contingent general obligation of RCPC to be satisfied from
its unsegregated general funds, provided that RCPC shall have the
right, if it so elects, to defease its obligation hereunder by the
purchase and delivery to the Executive of an annuity on his life in
the amount provided for above or to fund its obligation hereunder
through the purchase of insurance or other instruments, and the
Executive agrees to comply with the reasonable requests of RCPC should
RCPC elect to do so, including by submitting to medical examination.
5
4. Termination.
4.1 Death. If the Executive shall die during the Term, the Term shall
terminate and no further amounts or benefits shall be payable hereunder except
pursuant to Section 3.6.
4.2 Disability. If during the Term the Executive shall become
physically or mentally disabled, whether totally or partially, such that the
Executive is unable to perform the Executive's services hereunder for (i) a
period of six consecutive months or (ii) shorter periods aggregating six months
during any twelve month period, RCPC may at any time after the last day of the
six consecutive months of disability or the day on which the shorter periods of
disability shall have equaled an aggregate of six months, by written notice to
the Executive (but before the Executive has returned to active service
following such disability), terminate the Term and no further amounts or
benefits shall be payable hereunder, except that the Executive shall be
entitled to receive until the first to occur of (x) the Executive ceasing to be
disabled or (y) the Executive's attaining the age of 65, continued coverage for
the Executive under the Company paid group life insurance plan (including
supplemental coverage under Section 3.6) and for the Executive and his spouse
and children, if any, under the Company's group medical (including executive
medical) plan, to the extent permitted by such plans and to the extent such
benefits continue to be provided to the Company's senior executives generally.
4.3 Cause. In the event of gross neglect by the Executive of the
Executive's duties hereunder, conviction of the Executive of any felony,
conviction of the Executive of any lesser crime or offense involving the
property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, willful
misconduct by the Executive in connection with the performance of the
Executive's duties hereunder or other material breach by the Executive of this
Agreement, RCPC may at any time by written notice to the Executive terminate
the Term and, upon such termination, the Executive shall be entitled to receive
no further amounts or benefits hereunder, except as required by law.
4.4 Company Breach; Other Termination. In the event of the breach of
any material provision of this Agreement by the Company or the failure of the
Compensation Committee (or other appropriate Committee of the Board of
Directors of Revlon, Inc.) to fully implement RCPC's recommendations pursuant
to Section 3.3, the Executive shall be entitled to terminate the Executive's
employment and the Term upon 60 days' prior written notice to the Company. In
addition, at any time following a Triggering Event, the Executive shall be
entitled to terminate the Term and the Executive's employment upon 60 days'
prior written notice to the Company for "Good Reason". As used herein, the term
"Good Reason" shall mean any of the following occurring following a Triggering
Event which is not agreed to in writing by the Executive: (a) a substantial
adverse change in the Executive's assigned responsibilities, (b) a relocation
of the Executive's principal place of business to a location which increases
the Executive's round-trip commutation by more than 50 miles, (c) failure of
the Executive to continue participation in bonus, salary review and equity
incentive (or equivalent cash incentive) plans and programs at least
substantially equivalent to those provided to the Executive prior to the
Triggering Event, or (d) the failure of the Executive to participate in all
material employee benefit plans and fringe benefit arrangements on
substantially the same basis as like executives of the major business unit of
which the Executive is a part, provided however that none of the
6
foregoing events shall constitute "Good Reason" unless within 30 days after
obtaining actual knowledge of such event the Executive gives written notice to
the Company of the Executive's intention to resign, specifically identifying
the event constituting Good Reason therefor, and the Company shall fail to cure
such event within 30 days after such notice. In addition, RCPC shall be
entitled to terminate the Term and the Executive's employment at any time and
without prior notice otherwise than pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.2
or 4.3. In consideration of the Executive's covenant in Section 5.2, upon
termination under this Section 4.4 by the Executive, or in the event RCPC so
terminates the Term otherwise than pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.2 or
4.3, RCPC agrees, and the Company's sole obligation arising from such
termination (except as otherwise provided in Section 3.6) shall be (at the
Executive's election by written notice within 10 days after such termination),
for RCPC either
(i) to make the payments in lieu of bonus prescribed by Section 3.2,
to continue payments in lieu of Base Salary in the amounts prescribed by
Section 3.1 and to continue the Executive's participation in the benefits
provided for in subsections (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 3.6 (except, in the
case of subsection (i), the use of private jet aviation and a chauffeur-driven
car) (in each case less amounts required by law to be withheld) through the
date on which the Term would have expired pursuant to Section 2.2 if RCPC had
given notice of non-renewal on or as promptly as permitted by Section 2.2 after
the date of termination, provided that such benefit continuation is subject to
the terms of such plans, provided further that group life insurance
continuation is subject to a limit of two years pursuant to the terms thereof,
provided further that the Executive shall cease to be covered by medical and/or
dental plans of the Company at such time as the Executive becomes covered by
like plans of another company, and provided finally that the Executive shall,
as a condition, execute such release, confidentiality, non-competition and
other covenants as would be required in order for the Executive to receive
payments and benefits under the Policy referred to in clause (ii) below, or
(ii) to make the payments and provide the benefits prescribed by the
Executive Severance Policy of the Company as in effect on the date of this
Agreement other than the provision in Paragraph IIIC(ii) establishing a limit
of six months on the lump sum payment provided for therein, which shall not be
applicable to the Executive, upon the Executive's compliance with the terms
thereof.
7
If such termination of employment shall occur prior to a Triggering Event, any
compensation earned by the Executive from other employment or a consultancy
shall reduce the payments required pursuant to clause (i) above or shall be
governed by the terms of the Executive Severance Policy as modified by the
foregoing in the case of clause (ii) above, but if the Executive's termination
of employment shall occur following a Triggering Event, the Executive shall
have no duty to mitigate by seeking other employment or otherwise and no
compensation earned by the Executive from other employment or a consultancy
shall reduce the payments provided for by clause (i) or (ii). In addition to
the payments prescribed by clause (i) or (ii) above, on or promptly after the
date of termination, RCPC shall transfer to the Executive without charge title
to the Company-leased automobile at the time provided to the Executive pursuant
to Section 3.6(i) and gross the Executive up for all income taxes due with
respect thereto. As used herein, "Triggering Event" shall mean the first to
occur of any of the following:
(i) a merger of or combination involving Revlon, Inc. or RCPC or any
parent thereof other than a merger or combination in which more than 50% in
voting power of the voting securities of the surviving or resulting corporation
or other entity outstanding immediately after such transaction is beneficially
owned (as such term is defined in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended) by persons who beneficially owned outstanding voting
securities of Revlon, Inc. immediately prior to such transaction, or the
execution of a definitive agreement for such a merger or combination, provided
the same is in fact consummated; or
(ii) the adoption of a Plan contemplating the liquidation of all or
substantially all of the business and assets of the Company;
(iii) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company or of the business unit to which the Executive's services
are at the time dedicated, if any, whether for cash, securities or other
property, other than to a corporation or other entity in which more than 50% in
voting power of the outstanding voting securities outstanding immediately after
such transaction is beneficially owned by persons who beneficially owned
outstanding voting securities of Revlon, Inc. immediately prior to such
transaction, or the execution of a definitive agreement for such a sale or
other disposition, provided the same is in fact consummated; or
(iv) more than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding voting
securities of Revlon, Inc. becomes beneficially owned, directly or indirectly,
by one person or more than one person acting as a group other than the current
beneficial owner of the ultimate parent company of Revlon, Inc.
4.5 Section 280G.
4.5.1 If it shall be determined by the firm of Ernst & Young (or if
such firm shall be unable to serve, by another so-called Big 5 accounting firm
selected by such firm) ("E&Y") that there is not substantial authority to
support the deductibility for federal income tax purposes of one or more
payments or benefits due to the Executive, pursuant to this Agreement
8
or otherwise, by reason of section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code as amended
(the "Code") or any successor provisions, then RCPC shall reduce the payment in
lieu of bonus provided for in Section 3.2 and then the payments in lieu of Base
Salary provided for in Section 4.4 (said reductions to be applied in inverse
order against the last payments otherwise due) to the extent necessary to avoid
or, if full avoidance is not possible by such reductions, to minimize, the loss
of deductions described above, provided that (a) except as specified in clause
(b) below, such reductions shall not exceed the amount of (i) payments or
benefits due solely as a result of this Agreement as amended hereby (and not as
a result of this Agreement as theretofore in effect or the Executive's
participation in any incentive, benefit or severance plan or arrangement
applicable to the Executive without regard to this Agreement), and (ii)
benefits arising from the acceleration to February 12, 2000 of the
exercisability of the stock options granted to the Executive effective February
12, 1999 (and not as a result of the grant of such stock options), provided
that (b) such reductions shall exceed the amount specified in clause (a) above
if and to the extent that E&Y determines that on an after-tax basis a further
reduction pursuant to this clause (b) is more favorable to the Executive than
foregoing such further reduction. The parties agree that all income tax returns
filed for the periods affected by the foregoing shall be filed on a basis
consistent with the determinations of E&Y pursuant hereto, and that the
determinations of E&Y with respect to the foregoing shall be final and binding
and not subject to judicial or other review (except by E&Y at its own instance
before or after any filing). RCPC shall pay all fees and charges of E&Y in
connection with this Section 4.5.
4.5.2 The parties acknowledge that as a result of uncertainty in the
application of Section 280G of the Code at the time of any determination by E&Y
pursuant to Section 4.5.1, it is possible that amounts will be paid or
distributed by RCPC to or for the benefit of the Executive which the parties
intended under Section 4.5.1 not to have been paid or distributed (an
"Overpayment") or that amounts will not be paid or distributed by RCPC to or
for the benefit of the Executive that the parties intended under Section 4.5.1
to have been paid or distributed (an "Underpayment"). In the event that E&Y
(based upon the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service
against RCPC or its affiliates or against the Executive or at E&Y's own
instance before or after any filing or deficiency) determines that an
Overpayment or an Underpayment has been made, such amount shall be treated for
all purposes as a loan by RCPC (in the case of an Overpayment) or by the
Executive (in the case of an Underpayment) to the other party which shall,
promptly following notice of such determination by E&Y, be repaid together with
interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of
the Code, provided however that to the extent that any Overpayment would result
in a reduction of payments or benefits other than those referred to in
subclauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 4.5.1(a), such loan shall be deemed
made and the Executive shall be required to repay the same only to the extent
that E&Y determines that on an after-tax basis such loan and repayment pursuant
to this Section 4.5.2 is more favorable to the Executive than foregoing such
loan and repayment, and provided further that no loan shall be deemed to have
been made and no amount shall be required to be repaid pursuant to this Section
4.5.2 to the extent that in the opinion of counsel to the Company such loan and
repayment would not either reduce the amount on which the Executive is subject
to excise tax or increase the amount of payments that are deductible by the
Company in relation to Section 280G of the Code.
9
4.6 Litigation Expenses. If RCPC and the Executive become involved in
any action, suit or proceeding relating to the alleged breach of this Agreement
by RCPC or the Executive, then if and to the extent that a final judgment in
such action, suit or proceeding is rendered in favor of the Executive, RCPC
shall reimburse the Executive for all expenses (including reasonable attorneys'
fees) incurred by the Executive in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding or the portion thereof adjudicated in favor of the Executive. Such
costs shall be paid to the Executive promptly upon presentation of expense
statements or other supporting information evidencing the incurrence of such
expenses.
5. Protection of Confidential Information; Non-Competition.
5.1 The Executive acknowledges that the Executive's services will be
unique, that they will involve the development of Company-subsidized
relationships with key customers, suppliers, and service providers as well as
with key Company employees and that the Executive's work for the Company has
given and will give the Executive access to highly confidential information not
available to the public or competitors, including trade secrets and
confidential marketing, sales, product development and other data and plans
which it would be impracticable for the Company to effectively protect and
preserve in the absence of this Section 5 and the disclosure or
misappropriation of which could materially adversely affect the Company.
Accordingly, the Executive agrees:
5.1.1 except in the course of performing the Executive's duties
provided for in Section 1.1, not at any time, whether during or after the
Executive's employment with the Company, to divulge to any other entity or
person any confidential information acquired by the Executive concerning the
Company's or its affiliates' financial affairs or business processes or methods
or their research, development or marketing programs or plans, any other of its
or their trade secrets, any information regarding personal matters of any
directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company or its affiliates or
their respective family members, or any information concerning the
circumstances of the Executive's employment and any termination of the
Executive's employment with the Company or any information regarding
discussions related to any of the foregoing. The foregoing prohibitions shall
include, without limitation, directly or indirectly publishing (or causing,
participating in, assisting or providing any statement, opinion or information
in connection with the publication of) any diary, memoir, letter, story,
photograph, interview, article, essay, account or description (whether
fictionalized or not) concerning any of the foregoing, publication being deemed
to include any presentation or reproduction of any written, verbal or visual
material in any communication medium, including any book, magazine, newspaper,
theatrical production or movie, or television or radio programming or
commercial. In the event that the Executive is requested or required to make
disclosure of information subject to this Section 5.1.1 under any court order,
subpoena or other judicial process, the Executive will promptly notify RCPC,
take all reasonable steps requested by RCPC to defend against the compulsory
disclosure and permit RCPC to control with counsel of its choice any proceeding
relating to the compulsory disclosure. The Executive acknowledges that all
information the disclosure of which is prohibited by this section is of a
confidential and proprietary character and of great value to the Company.
10
5.1.2 to deliver promptly to the Company on termination of the
Executive's employment with the Company, or at any time that RCPC may so
request, all memoranda, notes, records, reports, manuals, drawings, blueprints
and other documents (and all copies thereof) relating to the Company's business
and all property associated therewith, which the Executive may then possess or
have under the Executive's control.
5.2 In consideration of RCPC's covenant in Section 4.4, the Executive
agrees (i) in all respects fully to comply with the terms of the Employee
Agreement as to Confidentiality and Non-Competition referred to in the Revlon
Executive Severance Policy (the "Non-Competition Agreement"), whether or not
the Executive is a signatory thereof, with the same effect as if the same were
set forth herein in full, and (ii) in the event that the Executive shall
terminate the Executive's employment otherwise than as provided in Section 4.4,
the Executive shall comply with the restrictions set forth in paragraph 9(e) of
the Non-Competition Agreement through the earliest date on which the Term would
have expired pursuant to Section 2.2 if RCPC had given notice of non-renewal on
or as promptly as permitted by Section 2.2 after the date of termination,
subject only to the Company continuing to make payments equal to the
Executive's Base Salary during such period, notwithstanding the limitation
otherwise applicable under paragraph 9(d) thereof or any other provision of the
Non-Competition Agreement.
5.3 If the Executive commits a breach of any of the provisions of
Sections 5.1 or 5.2 hereof, RCPC shall have the following rights and remedies:
5.3.1 the right and remedy to immediately terminate all further
payments and benefits provided for in this Agreement, except as may otherwise
be required by law in the case of qualified benefit plans,
5.3.2 the right and remedy to have the provisions of this Agreement
specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, it being
acknowledged and agreed that any such breach will cause irreparable injury to
the Company and that money damages and disgorgement of profits will not provide
an adequate remedy to the Company, and, if the Executive attempts or threatens
to commit a breach of any of the provisions of Sections 5.1 or 5.2, the right
and remedy to be granted a preliminary and permanent injunction in any court
having equity jurisdiction against the Executive committing the attempted or
threatened breach (it being agreed that each of the rights and remedies
enumerated above shall be independent of the others and shall be severally
enforceable, and that all of such rights and remedies shall be in addition to,
and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to RCPC under law
or in equity), and
5.3.3 the right and remedy to require the Executive to account for and
pay over to the Company all compensation, profits, monies, accruals, increments
or other benefits (collectively "Benefits") derived or received by the
Executive as the result of any transactions constituting a breach of any of the
provisions of Sections 5.1 or 5.2 hereof, and the Executive hereby agrees to
account for and pay over such Benefits as directed by RCPC.
11
5.4 If any of the covenants contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3, or
any part thereof, hereafter are construed to be invalid or unenforceable, the
same shall not affect the remainder of the covenant or covenants, which shall
be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions.
5.5 If any of the covenants contained in Sections 5.1 or 5.2, or any
part thereof, are held to be unenforceable because of the duration of such
provision or the area covered thereby, the parties agree that the court making
such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and/or area of
such provision so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law and, in its reduced form, said provision shall then be
enforceable.
5.6 The parties hereto intend to and hereby confer jurisdiction to
enforce the covenants contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 upon the courts of
any state within the geographical scope of such covenants. In the event that
the courts of any one or more of such states shall hold such covenants wholly
unenforceable by reason of the breadth of such covenants or otherwise, it is
the intention of the parties hereto that such determination not bar or in any
way affect RCPC's right to the relief provided above in the courts of any other
states within the geographical scope of such covenants as to breaches of such
covenants in such other respective jurisdictions, the above covenants as they
relate to each state being for this purpose severable into diverse and
independent covenants.
5.7 Any termination of the Term or the Executive's employment shall
have no effect on the continuing operation of this Section 5.
6. Inventions and Patents.
6.1 The Executive agrees that all processes, technologies and
inventions (collectively, "Inventions"), including new contributions,
improvements, ideas and discoveries, whether patentable or not, conceived,
developed, invented or made by him during the Term shall belong to the Company,
provided that such Inventions grew out of the Executive's work with the Company
or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, are related in any manner to the
business (commercial or experimental) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries
or affiliates or are conceived or made on the Company's time or with the use of
the Company's facilities or materials. The Executive shall further: (a)
promptly disclose such Inventions to the Company; (b) assign to the Company,
without additional compensation, all patent and other rights to such Inventions
for the United States and foreign countries; (c) sign all papers necessary to
carry out the foregoing; and (d) give testimony in support of the Executive's
inventorship.
6.2 If any Invention is described in a patent application or is
disclosed to third parties, directly or indirectly, by the Executive within two
years after the termination of the Executive's employment with the Company, it
is to be presumed that the Invention was conceived or made during the Term.
12
6.3 The Executive agrees that the Executive will not assert any rights
to any Invention as having been made or acquired by the Executive prior to the
date of this Agreement, except for Inventions, if any, disclosed to the Company
in writing prior to the date hereof.
7. Intellectual Property.
Notwithstanding and without limitation of Section 6, the Company shall be
the sole owner of all the products and proceeds of the Executive's services
hereunder, including, but not limited to, all materials, ideas, concepts,
formats, suggestions, developments, arrangements, packages, programs and other
intellectual properties that the Executive may acquire, obtain, develop or
create in connection with or during the Term, free and clear of any claims by
the Executive (or anyone claiming under the Executive) of any kind or character
whatsoever (other than the Executive's right to receive payments hereunder).
The Executive shall, at the request of RCPC, execute such assignments,
certificates or other instruments as RCPC may from time to time deem necessary
or desirable to evidence, establish, maintain, perfect, protect, enforce or
defend its right, title or interest in or to any such properties.
8. Indemnification.
RCPC will indemnify the Executive, to the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law, against all costs, charges and expenses incurred or sustained
by the Executive in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which the
Executive may be made a party, brought by any shareholder of the Company
directly or derivatively or by any third party by reason of any act or omission
of the Executive as an officer, director or employee of the Company or of any
subsidiary or affiliate of the Company.
9. Notices.
All notices, requests, consents and other communications required or
permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have
been duly given if delivered personally, sent by overnight courier or mailed

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT, amended and restated as of May 10, 1999,
effective as of January 1, 1999, between REVLON CONSUMER PRODUCTS CORPORATION,
a Delaware corporation ("RCPC" and, together with its parent Revlon, Inc. and
its subsidiaries, the "Company"), and IRWIN ENGELMAN (the "Executive").
RCPC wishes to continue the employment of the Executive with the
Company, and the Executive wishes to accept continued employment with the
Company, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
Accordingly, RCPC and the Executive hereby agree as follows:
Employment, Duties and Acceptance.
1.1 Employment, Duties. RCPC hereby employs the Executive for
the Term (as defined in Section 2.1), to render exclusive and full-time
services to the Company as chief administrative officer of the Revlon group of
companies or in such other executive position of at least an equivalent level
consistent with the Executive's business experience and background as may be
assigned to the Executive by the Chief Executive Officer of Revlon, Inc., and
to perform such other duties consistent with such position (including service
as a director or officer of any affiliate of the Company, if elected) as may be
assigned to the Executive by the Chief Executive Officer of Revlon, Inc. The
Executive's title shall be Vice Chairman and Chief Administrative Officer,
Revlon, Inc. or such other title of at least equivalent level consistent with
the Executive's duties from time to time as may be assigned to the Executive by
the Chief Executive Officer of Revlon, Inc.
1.2 Acceptance. The Executive hereby accepts such employment and
agrees to render the services described above. During the Term, the Executive
agrees to serve the Company faithfully and to the best of the Executive's
ability, to devote the Executive's entire business time, energy and skill to
such employment, and to use the Executive's best efforts, skill and ability to
promote the Company's interests.
1.3 Location. The duties to be performed by the Executive
hereunder shall be performed primarily at the office of Revlon, Inc. in the New
York City metropolitan area, subject to reasonable travel requirements
consistent with the nature of the Executive's duties from time to time on
behalf of the Company.
2. Term of Employment; Certain Post-Term Benefits.
2.1 The Term. The term of the Executive's employment under this
Agreement (the "Term") shall commence as of the date hereof (the "Effective
Date") and shall end on December 31, 2000, whereupon the Executive shall retire
from employment with the Company. Upon termination of employment, the Executive
shall provide a release in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company with respect to any and all
liabilities based upon matters arising prior to the date thereof.
2.2 Special Curtailment. The Term shall end earlier than the
date provided in Section 2.1, if sooner terminated pursuant to Section 4.
3. Compensation; Benefits.
3.1 Salary. As compensation for all services to be rendered
pursuant to this Agreement, RCPC agrees to pay the Executive during the Term a
base salary, payable bi-weekly in arrears, at the annual rate of not less than
$700,000 (the "Base Salary"). All payments of Base Salary or other compensation
hereunder shall be less such deductions or withholdings as are required by
applicable law and regulations. In the event that RCPC, in its sole discretion,
from time to time determines to increase the Base Salary, such increased amount
shall, from and after the effective date of the increase, constitute "Base
Salary" for all purposes of this Agreement.
3.2 Bonus. In addition to the amounts to be paid to the
Executive pursuant to Section 3.1, during the Term The Executive shall be
eligible to receive a maximum annual performance incentive bonus with respect
to each year commencing with calendar year 1999 of 100% of the Executive's Base
Salary at the rate in effect during the calendar year in which bonus is earned
(with a target bonus equal to 75% of such Base Salary), based upon the degree
of achievement of objectives set annually in accordance with the Revlon
Executive Bonus Plan or any plan that may succeed it or by the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, as the case may be.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive's employment shall end pursuant
to Section 4.2 at any time during the Term, the Executive's bonus with respect
to the calendar year in which the termination occurs shall be an amount equal
to the bonus that would have been payable to the Executive with respect to such
year if the Executive had remained employed to the date for payment of bonuses
under such Plan, multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator is the number
of days of the Term during such year and the denominator is 365, and if the
Executive's employment shall end pursuant to Section 4.4, the Executive's bonus
with respect to the calendar year in which the termination occurs shall be an
amount equal to the greater of the full year bonus that would have been payable
to the Executive as above described or the Executive's full year target bonus,
in either case without proration, notwithstanding any contrary provision of any
plan.
3.3 Stock Options. The Executive shall be recommended to the
Compensation Committee or other committee of the Board administering the
Revlon, Inc. Second Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Plan or any plan that may
replace it, as from time to time in effect, to receive an option not later than
February 28, 1999 to purchase 75,000 shares of Revlon common stock, having a
term of 10 years, an option exercise price equal to the market price of the
Revlon common stock on the date of grant, and otherwise to be on terms (other
than number of shares covered) equivalent to those of options granted to other
senior executive officers of the Company, including Plan provisions respecting
early termination of the term of outstanding grants.
2
3.4 Business Expenses. RCPC shall pay or reimburse the Executive
for all reasonable expenses actually incurred or paid by the Executive during
the Term in the performance of the Executive's services under this Agreement,
subject to and in accordance with the Company's applicable expense
reimbursement and related policies and procedures as in effect from time to
time.
3.5 Vacation. During each year of the Term, the Executive shall
be entitled to a vacation period or periods of four weeks taken in accordance
with the vacation policy of the Company as in effect from time to time.
3.6 Fringe Benefits.
(i) During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to
participate in those qualified and non-qualified defined benefit, defined
contribution, group insurance, medical, dental, disability and other benefit
plans of the Company as from time to time in effect made available to senior
executives of the Company generally and in the Revlon Executive Medical and
Dental Expense programs (the "Executive Programs"), as from time to time in
effect, shall be entitled to the use, at the Company's sole expense, of the car
and driver currently assigned to the Executive, and shall be entitled to be
reimbursed for the dues, assessments and other like charges of membership in
the University Club or other club of like cost.
(ii) In furtherance of the Executive's retirement benefit
expectations, and without limiting the Company's ability to modify, in any way,
any or all of its defined benefit plans, RCPC agrees to guarantee to the
Executive a minimum monthly pension starting January 1, 2001 as set forth
below.
(a) If the Executive is alive on such date, the monthly pension
amount shall be $20,833, reduced by the actuarial equivalent of all
benefits paid or payable (calculated on a straight life annuity basis) to
or in respect of the Executive under all defined benefit retirement plans,
whether or not tax qualified, maintained by the Company or by any past,
present or future affiliate of the Company (including, without limitation,
MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings, Inc. or its other affiliates (collectively,
"MacAndrews & Forbes"), without regard to whether the plan has previously
terminated, is being currently maintained or is established and maintained
in the future. Such offset for benefits under other plans shall be
determined as of the day this pension starts and shall not be subsequently
adjusted on account of any subsequent benefit accruals or change in
benefit amounts expected under such other plans, whether on account of the
Executive's death or otherwise.
(b) The Executive may elect to have the pension determined pursuant
to subsection (a) above paid as an actuarially equivalent joint and 50%
survivor annuity with his spouse as beneficiary if she shall survive the
Executive and be legally married to the Executive at the time of his
death. Such election shall be made by the Executive not later than 90 days
before the pension benefit is to start and shall take effect only if the
Executive and his spouse are alive and
3
married to each other on the day the pension starts. If the
Executive's spouse dies after the pension starts and before the
Executive, no adjustment shall be made to the amount of annual pension
payable to the Executive.
(c) If the Executive dies before January 1, 2001, a lifetime
pension shall be payable to the spouse to whom the Executive was
legally married on the date of his death, if any, in a monthly amount
determined as follows: First, determine the pension amount pursuant
to subsection (a) above that would have been payable to the Executive
starting at January 1, 2001 as if the Executive had survived to that
date; second, assume the Executive had then elected to have his
benefit paid as an actuarially equivalent joint and 50% survivor
annuity with his spouse as beneficiary; and third, the monthly amount
so determined shall be reduced by 1.5% times the number of full
months by which the month of death precedes January 1, 2001.
Following his spouse's death no other pension hereunder shall be paid
to any other person.
(d) For purposes of determining actuarial equivalence, the
following assumptions shall be used: an interest rate equal to the AA
corporate bond long term rate in effect on the first day of the month
preceding the month in which the benefit is to start, the 1983 Group
Annuity Mortality Table, and otherwise the reasonable actuarial
assumptions and methods selected by the Company's primary actuary.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no
supplemental pension shall be payable pursuant to this subsection
3.6(ii), and any amounts then being paid shall cease and the
Executive shall immediately reimburse the Company for amounts
theretofore paid, in the event that (x) the Executive materially
breaches this Agreement, (y) RCPC terminates the Executive's
employment (under this Agreement or otherwise) for "cause" as set
forth in Section 4.3 of this Agreement or (z) the Executive
materially breaches the provisions of Section 5, 6 or 7 of this
Agreement.
In consideration of the foregoing, the Executive hereby waives eligibility, and
releases the Company from any liability, for any severance pay, termination
indemnity or like amount other than as set forth in Section 4.4, including
without limitation participation in the Company's Executive Severance Policy
and basic severance plan as now or hereafter in effect.
(iii) During the Term RCPC shall maintain an individual policy
of disability insurance, naming the Executive as the insured and the Executive
or a designee as the beneficiary, with a benefit equal to (A) fifty percent of
the sum of the Executive's Base Salary in effect on the date of disability plus
the Executive's most recent annual bonus pursuant to Section 3.2 less (B) the
long-term disability benefit payable under the Company's group disability
program as in effect from time to time.
4. Termination.
4
4.1 Death. If the Executive shall die during the Term, the Term
shall terminate and no further amounts or benefits shall be payable hereunder
except pursuant to life insurance provided under Section 3.6.
4.2 Disability. If during the Term the Executive shall become
physically or mentally disabled, whether totally or partially, such that the
Executive is unable to perform the Executive's services hereunder for (i) a
period of six consecutive months or (ii) shorter periods aggregating six months
during any twelve month period, RCPC may at any time after the last day of the
six consecutive months of disability or the day on which the shorter periods of
disability shall have equaled an aggregate of six months, by written notice to
the Executive (but before the Executive has returned to active service
following such disability), terminate the Term and no further amounts or
benefits shall be payable hereunder, except that the Executive shall be
entitled to receive until the first to occur of (x) the Executive ceasing to be
disabled or (y) the Executive's attaining the age of 65, continued coverage for
the Executive under the Company paid group life insurance plan and the
disability insurance provided for in subsection 3.6(iii) and for the Executive
and his spouse and children, if any, under the Company's group medical and
dental plans, to the extent permitted by such plans, and under the Executive
Programs, to the extent such benefits continue to be provided to the Company's
senior executives.
4.3 Cause. In the event of gross neglect by the Executive of the
Executive's duties hereunder, conviction of the Executive of any felony,
conviction of the Executive of any lesser crime or offense involving the
property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, willful
misconduct by the Executive in connection with the performance of the
Executive's duties hereunder or other material breach by the Executive of this
Agreement, or any other conduct on the part of the Executive which would make
the Executive's continued employment with the Company materially prejudicial to
the best interests of the Company, RCPC may at any time by written notice to
the Executive terminate the Term and, upon such termination, the Executive
shall be entitled to receive no further amounts or benefits hereunder, except
as required by law.
4.4 Company Breach; Other Termination. In the event of the
breach of any material provision of this Agreement by RCPC or the failure of
the Compensation Committee (or other appropriate Committee of the Board of
Directors of Revlon, Inc.) to fully implement RCPC's recommendation pursuant to
Section 3.3, the Executive shall be entitled to terminate the Term upon 60
days' prior written notice to the Company. In addition, at any time following a
Triggering Event, the Executive shall be entitled to terminate the Term and the
Executive's employment upon 60 days' prior written notice to the Company for
"Good Reason". As used herein, the term "Good Reason" shall mean any of the
following occurring following a Triggering Event which is not agreed to in
writing by the Executive: (a) a substantial adverse change in the Executive's
assigned responsibilities, (b) a relocation of the Executive's principal place
of business to a location which increases the Executive's round-trip
commutation by more than 50 miles, (c) failure of the Executive to continue
participation in bonus, salary review and equity incentive (or equivalent cash
incentive) plans and programs at least substantially equivalent to those
provided to the Executive prior to the
5
Triggering Event, or (d) the failure of the Executive to participate in all
material employee benefit plans and fringe benefit arrangements on
substantially the same basis as like executives of the major business unit of
which the Executive is a part, provided however that none of the foregoing
events shall constitute "Good Reason" unless within 30 days after obtaining
actual knowledge of such event the Executive gives written notice to the
Company of the Executive's intention to resign, specifically identifying the
event constituting Good Reason therefor, and the Company shall fail to cure
such event within 30 days after such notice. In addition, RCPC shall be
entitled to terminate the Term and the Executive's employment at any time and
without prior notice otherwise than pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.2
or 4.3. In consideration of the Executive's covenant in Section 5.2, upon
termination under this Section 4.4 by the Executive, or in the event the
Company so terminates the Term otherwise than pursuant to the provisions of
Section 4.2 or 4.3, RCPC agrees, and the Company's sole obligation arising from
such termination (except as otherwise provided in Section 3.6) shall be to make
the payment prescribed by Section 3.2, and to continue payments in lieu of Base
Salary in the amounts prescribed by Section 3.1 and continue the Executive's
participation in the group life insurance and in the medical and dental plans
of the Company in which the Executive was entitled to participate pursuant to
Section 3.6 (in each case less amounts required by law to be withheld) through
the date on which the Term would otherwise have expired pursuant to Section
2.1, provided that such benefit continuation is subject to the terms of such
plans, provided further that such group life insurance continuation is subject
to a limit of two years pursuant to the terms thereof, provided further that
the Executive shall cease to be covered by medical and/or dental plans of the
Company at such time as the Executive becomes covered by like plans of another
company, and provided finally that the Executive shall, as a condition, execute
such release, confidentiality, non-competition and other covenants as would be
required in order for the Executive to receive payments and benefits under the
Revlon Executive Severance Policy. If such termination of employment shall
occur prior to a Triggering Event, any compensation earned by the Executive
from other employment or a consultancy shall reduce the payments in lieu of
salary provided for above, but if the Executive's termination of employment
shall occur following a Triggering Event, the Executive shall have no duty to
mitigate by seeking other employment or otherwise and no compensation earned by
the Executive from other employment or a consultancy shall reduce the payments
provided above. As used herein, "Triggering Event" shall mean the first to
occur of any of the following:
(i) a merger of or combination involving Revlon, Inc. or RCPC or
any parent thereof other than a merger or combination in which more than 50% in
voting power of the voting securities of the surviving or resulting corporation
or other entity outstanding immediately after such transaction is beneficially
owned (as such term is defined in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended) by persons who beneficially owned outstanding voting
securities of Revlon, Inc. immediately prior to such transaction, or the
execution of a definitive agreement for such a merger or combination, provided
the same is in fact consummated;
(ii) the adoption of a Plan contemplating the liquidation of all
or substantially all of the business and assets of the Company;
6
(iii) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Company or of the business unit to which the Executive's
services are at the time dedicated, if any, whether for cash, securities or
other property, other than to a corporation or other entity in which more than
50% in voting power of the outstanding voting securities outstanding
immediately after such transaction is beneficially owned by persons who
beneficially owned outstanding voting securities of Revlon, Inc. immediately
prior to such transaction, or the execution of a definitive agreement for such
a sale or other disposition, provided the same is in fact consummated;
(iv) more than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding voting
securities of Revlon, Inc. becomes beneficially owned, directly or indirectly,
by one person or more than one person acting as a group other than the current
beneficial owner of the ultimate parent company of Revlon, Inc.
4.5 Section 280G.
4.5.1 If it shall be determined by the firm of Ernst & Young (or
if such firm shall be unable to serve, by another so-called Big 5 accounting
firm selected by such firm) ("E&Y") that there is not substantial authority to
support the deductibility for federal income tax purposes of one or more
payments or benefits due to the Executive, pursuant to this Agreement or
otherwise, by reason of section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code as amended
(the "Code") or any successor provisions, then RCPC shall reduce the payment in
lieu of bonus provided for in Section 3.2 and then the payments in lieu of Base
Salary provided for in Section 4.4 (said reductions to be applied in inverse
order against the last payments otherwise due) to the extent necessary to avoid
or, if full avoidance is not possible by such reductions, to minimize, the loss
of deductions described above, provided that (a) except as specified in clause
(b) below, such reductions shall not exceed the amount of (i) payments or
benefits due solely as a result of this Agreement as amended hereby (and not as
a result of this Agreement as theretofore in effect or the Executive's
participation in any incentive or benefit plan or arrangement applicable to the
Executive without regard to this Agreement) and (ii) benefits arising from the
acceleration to February 12, 2000 of the exercisability of the stock options
granted to the Executive effective February 12, 1999 (and not as a result of
the grant of such stock options), provided that (b) such reductions shall
exceed the amount specified in clause (a) above if and to the extent that E&Y
determines that on an after-tax basis a further reduction pursuant to this
clause (b) is more favorable to the Executive than foregoing such further
reduction. The parties agree that all income tax returns filed for the periods
affected by the foregoing shall be filed on a basis consistent with the
determinations of E&Y pursuant hereto, and that the determinations of E&Y with
respect to the foregoing shall be final and binding and not subject to judicial
or other review (except by E&Y at its own instance before or after any filing).
RCPC shall pay all fees and charges of E&Y in connection with this Section 4.5.
4.5.2 The parties acknowledge that as a result of uncertainty in
the application of Section 280G of the Code at the time of any determination by
E&Y pursuant to Section 4.5.1, it is possible that amounts will be paid or
distributed by RCPC to or for the benefit of the Executive which the parties
intended under Section 4.5.1 not to have been paid
7
or distributed (an "Overpayment") or that amounts will not be paid or
distributed by RCPC to or for the benefit of the Executive that the parties
intended under Section 4.5.1 to have been paid or distributed (an
"Underpayment"). In the event that E&Y (based upon the assertion of a
deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against RCPC or its affiliates or
against the Executive or at E&Y's own instance before or after any filing or
deficiency) determines that an Overpayment or an Underpayment has been made,
such amount shall be treated for all purposes as a loan by RCPC (in the case of
an Overpayment) or by the Executive (in the case of an Underpayment) to the
other party which shall, promptly following notice of such determination by
E&Y, be repaid together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided
for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code, provided however that to the extent that
any Overpayment would result in a reduction of payments or benefits other than
those referred to in subclauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 4.5.1(a), such
loan shall be deemed made and the Executive shall be required to repay the same
only to the extent that E&Y determines that on an after-tax basis such loan and
repayment pursuant to this Section 4.5.2 is more favorable to the Executive
than foregoing such loan and repayment, and provided further that no loan shall
be deemed to have been made and no amount shall be required to be repaid
pursuant to this Section 4.5.2 to the extent that in the opinion of counsel to
the Company such loan and repayment would not either reduce the amount on which
the Executive is subject to excise tax or increase the amount of payments that
are deductible by the Company in relation to Section 280G of the Code.
4.6 Litigation Expenses. If RCPC and the Executive become
involved in any action, suit or proceeding relating to the alleged breach of
this Agreement by RCPC or the Executive, then if and to the extent that a final
judgment in such action, suit or proceeding is rendered in favor of the
Executive, RCPC shall reimburse the Executive for all expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by the Executive in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding or the portion thereof adjudicated in favor of the
Executive. Such costs shall be paid to the Executive promptly upon presentation
of expense statements or other supporting information evidencing the incurrence
of such expenses.
5. Protection of Confidential Information; Non-Competition.
5.1 The Executive acknowledges that the Executive's services
will be unique, that they will involve the development of Company-subsidized
relationships with key customers, suppliers, and service providers as well as
with key Company employees and that the Executive's work for the Company has
given and will give the Executive access to highly confidential information not
available to the public or competitors, including trade secrets and
confidential marketing, sales, product development and other data and plans
which it would be impracticable for the Company to effectively protect and
preserve in the absence of this Section 5 and the disclosure or
misappropriation of which could materially adversely affect the Company.
Accordingly, the Executive agrees:
5.1.1 except in the course of performing the Executive's duties
provided for in Section 1.1, not at any time, whether during or after the
Executive's employment with the Company, to divulge to any other entity or
person any confidential information acquired by the Executive concerning the
Company's or its affiliates' financial affairs or business processes or
8
methods or their research, development or marketing programs or plans, any
other of its or their trade secrets, any information regarding personal matters
of any directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company or its
affiliates or their respective family members, or any information concerning
the circumstances of the Executive's employment and any termination of the
Executive's employment with the Company or any information regarding
discussions related to any of the foregoing. The foregoing prohibitions shall
include, without limitation, directly or indirectly publishing (or causing,
participating in, assisting or providing any statement, opinion or information
in connection with the publication of) any diary, memoir, letter, story,
photograph, interview, article, essay, account or description (whether
fictionalized or not) concerning any of the foregoing, publication being deemed
to include any presentation or reproduction of any written, verbal or visual
material in any communication medium, including any book, magazine, newspaper,
theatrical production or movie, or television or radio programming or
commercial. In the event that the Executive is requested or required to make
disclosure of information subject to this Section 5.1.1 under any court order,
subpoena or other judicial process, the Executive will promptly notify RCPC,
take all reasonable steps requested by RCPC to defend against the compulsory
disclosure and permit RCPC to control with counsel of its choice any proceeding
relating to the compulsory disclosure. The Executive acknowledges that all
information the disclosure of which is prohibited by this section is of a
confidential and proprietary character and of great value to the Company.
5.1.2 to deliver promptly to the Company on termination of the
Executive's employment with the Company, or at any time that RCPC may so
request, all memoranda, notes, records, reports, manuals, drawings, blueprints
and other documents (and all copies thereof) relating to the Company's business
and all property associated therewith, which the Executive may then possess or
have under the Executive's control.
5.2 In consideration of RCPC's covenant in Section 4.4, the
Executive agrees (i) in all respects fully to comply with the terms of the
Employee Agreement as to Confidentiality and Non-Competition referred to in the
Revlon Executive Severance Policy (the "Non-Competition Agreement"), whether or
not the Executive is a signatory thereof, with the same effect as if the same
were set forth herein in full, and (ii) in the event that the Executive shall
terminate the Executive's employment otherwise than as provided in Section 4.4,
the Executive shall comply with the restrictions set forth in paragraph 9(e) of
the Non-Competition Agreement through the date on which the Term would have
expired pursuant to Section 2.1, subject only to the Company continuing to make
payments equal to the Executive's Base Salary during such period,
notwithstanding the limitation otherwise applicable under paragraph 9(d)
thereof or any other provision of the Non-Competition Agreement.
5.3 If the Executive commits a breach of any of the provisions
of Sections 5.1 or 5.2 hereof, RCPC shall have the following rights and
remedies:
5.3.1 the right and remedy to immediately terminate all further
payments and benefits provided for in this Agreement, except as may otherwise
be required by law in the case of qualified benefit plans,
9
5.3.2 the right and remedy to have the provisions of this
Agreement specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, it
being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach will cause irreparable
injury to the Company and that money damages and disgorgement of profits will
not provide an adequate remedy to the Company, and, if the Executive attempts
or threatens to commit a breach of any of the provisions of Sections 5.1 or
5.2, the right and remedy to be granted a preliminary and permanent injunction
in any court having equity jurisdiction against the Executive committing the
attempted or threatened breach (it being agreed that each of the rights and
remedies enumerated above shall be independent of the others and shall be
severally enforceable, and that all of such rights and remedies shall be in
addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to
RCPC under law or in equity), and
5.3.3 the right and remedy to require the Executive to account
for and pay over to the Company all compensation, profits, monies, accruals,
increments or other benefits (collectively "Benefits") derived or received by
the Executive as the result of any transactions constituting a breach of any of
the provisions of Sections 5.1 or 5.2 hereof, and the Executive hereby agrees
to account for and pay over such Benefits as directed by RCPC.
5.4 If any of the covenants contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2 or
5.3, or any part thereof, hereafter are construed to be invalid or
unenforceable, the same shall not affect the remainder of the covenant or
covenants, which shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid
portions.
5.5 If any of the covenants contained in Sections 5.1 or 5.2, or
any part thereof, are held to be unenforceable because of the duration of such
provision or the area covered thereby, the parties agree that the court making
such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and/or area of
such provision so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law and, in its reduced form, said provision shall then be
enforceable.
5.6 The parties hereto intend to and hereby confer jurisdiction
to enforce the covenants contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 upon the courts
of any state within the geographical scope of such covenants. In the event that
the courts of any one or more of such states shall hold such covenants wholly
unenforceable by reason of the breadth of such covenants or otherwise, it is
the intention of the parties hereto that such determination not bar or in any
way affect RCPC's right to the relief provided above in the courts of any other
states within the geographical scope of such covenants as to breaches of such
covenants in such other respective jurisdictions, the above covenants as they
relate to each state being for this purpose severable into diverse and
independent covenants.
5.7 Any termination of the Term or the Executive's employment
shall have no effect on the continuing operation of this Section 5.
6. Inventions and Patents.
10
6.1 The Executive agrees that all processes, technologies and
inventions (collectively, "Inventions"), including new contributions,
improvements, ideas and discoveries, whether patentable or not, conceived,
developed, invented or made by him during the Term shall belong to the Company,
provided that such Inventions grew out of the Executive's work with the Company
or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, are related in any manner to the
business (commercial or experimental) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries
or affiliates or are conceived or made on the Company's time or with the use of
the Company's facilities or materials. The Executive shall further: (a)
promptly disclose such Inventions to the Company; (b) assign to the Company,
without additional compensation, all patent and other rights to such Inventions
for the United States and foreign countries; (c) sign all papers necessary to
carry out the foregoing; and (d) give testimony in support of the Executive's
inventorship.
6.2 If any Invention is described in a patent application or is
disclosed to third parties, directly or indirectly, by the Executive within two
years after the termination of the Executive's employment with the Company, it
is to be presumed that the Invention was conceived or made during the Term.
6.3 The Executive agrees that the Executive will not assert any
rights to any Invention as having been made or acquired by the Executive prior
to the date of this Agreement, except for Inventions, if any, disclosed to the
Company in writing prior to the date hereof.
7. Intellectual Property.
Notwithstanding and without limitation of Section 6, the Company
shall be the sole owner of all the products and proceeds of the Executive's
services hereunder, including, but not limited to, all materials, ideas,
concepts, formats, suggestions, developments, arrangements, packages, programs
and other intellectual properties that the Executive may acquire, obtain,
develop or create in connection with or during the Term, free and clear of any
claims by the Executive (or anyone claiming under the Executive) of any kind or
character whatsoever (other than the Executive's right to receive payments
hereunder). The Executive shall, at the request of RCPC, execute such
assignments, certificates or other instruments as RCPC may from time to time
deem necessary or desirable to evidence, establish, maintain, perfect, protect,
enforce or defend its right, title or interest in or to any such properties.
11
8. Indemnification.
RCPC will indemnify the Executive, to the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law, against all costs, charges and expenses incurred
or sustained by the Executive in connection with any action, suit or proceeding
to which the Executive may be made a party, brought by any shareholder of the
Company directly or derivatively or by any third party by reason of any act or
omission of the Executive as an officer, director or employee of the Company or
of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company.
9. Notices.
All notices, requests, consents and other communications
required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be
deemed to have been duly given if delivered personally, sent by overnight
courier or mailed first class, postage prepaid, by registered or certified mail
(notices mailed shall be deemed to have been given on the date mailed), as
follows (or to such other address as either party shall designate by notice in
writing to the other in accordance herewith):
If to the Company, to:
Revlon Consumer Products Corporation
625 Madison Avenue
New York, New York 10022
Attention: General Counsel
If to the Executive, to the Executive's principal residence as

10. General.
10.1 This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and
enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to
agreements made between residents thereof and to be performed entirely in New
York.
10.2 The section headings contained herein are for reference
purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of
this Agreement.
10.3 This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and
understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and
supersedes all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings, written or
oral, relating to the subject matter hereof. No representation, promise or
inducement has been made by either party that is not embodied in this
Agreement, and neither party shall be bound by or liable for any alleged
representation, promise or inducement not so set forth.
10.4 This Agreement, and the Executive's rights and obligations
hereunder, may not be assigned by the Executive, nor may the Executive pledge,

assign its rights, together with its obligations, hereunder (i) to any
affiliate or (ii) to a third party in connection with any sale, transfer or

the extent the same are not timely discharged by such assignee.
10.5 This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded,
canceled, renewed or extended and the terms or covenants hereof may be waived,
only by a written instrument executed by both of the parties hereto, or in the
case of a waiver, by the party waiving compliance. The failure of either party
at any time or times to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no
manner affect the right at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by
either party of the breach of any term or covenant contained in this Agreement,
whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed
to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such breach, or a
waiver of the breach of any other term or covenant contained in this Agreement.
10.6 This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will
constitute one and the same instrument.

"subsidiary" shall mean any corporation or other business entity controlled
directly or indirectly by the corporation or other business entity in question,
and the term "affiliate" shall mean and include any corporation or other
business entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT, amended and restated as of May 10, 1999,
effective as of January 1, 1998, between REVLON CONSUMER PRODUCTS CORPORATION,
a Delaware corporation ("RCPC" and, together with its parent Revlon, Inc. and
its subsidiaries, the "Company"), and WADE H. NICHOLS (the "Executive").
RCPC wishes to continue the employment of the Executive with the
Company, and the Executive wishes to accept continued employment with the
Company, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
Accordingly, RCPC and the Executive hereby agree as follows:
Employment, Duties and Acceptance.
1.1 Employment, Duties. RCPC hereby employs the Executive for the Term
(as defined in Section 2.1), to render exclusive and full-time services to the
Company as chief legal officer of the Revlon group of companies or in such
other executive position of at least an equivalent level consistent with the
Executive's business experience and background as may be assigned to the
Executive by the Chief Executive Officer of Revlon, Inc., and to perform such
other duties consistent with such position (including service as a director or
officer of any affiliate of the Company, if elected) as may be assigned to the
Executive by the Chief Executive Officer of Revlon, Inc. The Executive's title
shall be Executive Vice President and General Counsel, Revlon, Inc. or such
other title of at least equivalent level consistent with the Executive's duties
from time to time as may be assigned to the Executive by the Chief Executive
Officer of Revlon, Inc.
1.2 Acceptance. The Executive hereby accepts such employment and
agrees to render the services described above. During the Term, the Executive
agrees to serve the Company faithfully and to the best of the Executive's
ability, to devote the Executive's entire business time, energy and skill to
such employment, and to use the Executive's best efforts, skill and ability to
promote the Company's interests.
1.3 Location. The duties to be performed by the Executive hereunder
shall be performed primarily at the office of Revlon, Inc. in the New York City
metropolitan area, subject to reasonable travel requirements consistent with
the nature of the Executive's duties from time to time on behalf of the
Company.
2. Term of Employment; Certain Post-Term Benefits.
2.1 The Term. The term of the Executive's employment under this
Agreement (the "Term") shall commence as of the date hereof (the "Effective
Date") and shall end on February 28, 2003. During any period that the
Executive's employment shall continue following expiration of the Term, (i) the
Executive shall be eligible for severance on terms no less favorable than those
of the Revlon Executive Severance Plan as in effect on the date of this
Agreement (other than the provision in Paragraph III C(ii) thereof establishing
a limit of six months of payments, which shall not apply to the Executive),
upon the Executive's compliance with the terms thereof, (ii) RCPC shall treat a
voluntary termination of employment following the Term or a termination
pursuant to Section 4.4 during the Term as a voluntary retirement with the
Company's consent for all purposes of the Revlon, Inc. Second Amended and
Restated 1996 Stock Plan (the "Stock Plan") and the retirement and other plans
of the Company in which the Executive shall then participate (including
post-retirement life insurance referred to in Section 3.6(iii) below), and
(iii) the Executive shall be deemed to be an employee at will; provided that as
a condition for the promises in clauses (i) and (ii) above and in Section
3.6(iii) below, the Executive shall provide, upon termination of employment, a
release in form and substance comparable to the releases currently used under
the Executive Severance Plan.
2.2 Special Curtailment. The Term shall end earlier than the
date provided in Section 2.1, if sooner terminated pursuant to Section 4.
3. Compensation; Benefits.
3.1 Salary. As compensation for all services to be rendered
pursuant to this Agreement, RCPC agrees to pay the Executive during the Term a
base salary, payable bi-weekly in arrears, at the annual rate of not less than
$600,000 (the "Base Salary"). All payments of Base Salary or other compensation
hereunder shall be less such deductions or withholdings as are required by
applicable law and regulations. In the event that RCPC, in its sole discretion,
from time to time determines to increase the Base Salary, such increased amount
shall, from and after the effective date of the increase, constitute "Base
Salary" for all purposes of this Agreement.
3.2 Bonus. In addition to the amounts to be paid to the
Executive pursuant to Section 3.1, during the Term the Executive shall receive
a maximum annual performance incentive bonus with respect to each year
commencing with calendar year 1998 of 100% of the Executive's Base Salary at
the rate in effect during the calendar year in which bonus is earned (with a
target bonus equal to 75% of such Base Salary), based upon the degree of
achievement of objectives set annually not later than February 28 of such year
in accordance with the Revlon Executive Bonus Plan or by the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors of Revlon, Inc., as the case may be.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive's employment shall end pursuant
to Section 4.2 at any time during the Term or pursuant to Section 4.4 at any
time prior to the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Executive's bonus with
respect to the calendar year in which the termination occurs shall be an amount
equal to the bonus that would have been payable to the Executive with respect
to such year if the Executive had remained employed to the date for payment of
bonuses under such Plan, multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator is the
number of days of the Term during such year and the denominator is 365, and if
the Executive's employment shall end pursuant to Section 4.4 on or after the
occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Executive's bonus with respect to the
calendar year in which the termination occurs shall be an amount equal to the
greater of the full year bonus that would have been payable to the Executive as
above described or the Executive's full year target bonus, in either case
without proration, notwithstanding any contrary provision of any plan. As used
herein, "Triggering Event" shall mean the first to occur of any of the
following:
2
(i) a merger of or combination involving Revlon, Inc. or RCPC or
any parent thereof other than a merger or combination in which more than 50% in
voting power of the voting securities of the surviving or resulting corporation
or other entity outstanding immediately after such transaction is beneficially
owned (as such term is defined in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended) by persons who beneficially owned outstanding voting
securities of Revlon, Inc. immediately prior to such transaction, or the
execution of a definitive agreement for such a merger or combination, provided
the same is in fact consummated;
(ii) the adoption of a Plan contemplating the liquidation of all
or substantially all of the business and assets of the Company;
(iii) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Company or of the business unit to which the Executive's
services are at the time dedicated, if any, whether for cash, securities or
other property, other than to a corporation or other entity in which more than
50% in voting power of the outstanding voting securities outstanding
immediately after such transaction is beneficially owned by persons who
beneficially owned outstanding voting securities of Revlon, Inc. immediately
prior to such transaction, or the execution of a definitive agreement for such
a sale or other disposition, provided the same is in fact consummated; or
(iv) more than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding voting
securities of Revlon, Inc. becomes beneficially owned, directly or indirectly,
by one person or more than one person acting as a group other than the current
beneficial owner of the ultimate parent company of Revlon, Inc.
3.3 Stock Options. The Executive shall be recommended to the
Compensation Committee or other committee of the Board administering the Stock
Plan or any plan that may replace it, as from time to time in effect, to
receive an option not later than February 28 of each year of the Term,
commencing in 1998, each such option to cover a minimum of 40,000 shares of
Revlon common stock, to have a term of 10 years, to have an option exercise
price equal to the market price of the Revlon common stock on the date of
grant, and otherwise to be on terms (other than number of shares covered)
substantially the same as other senior executives of the Company generally,
including Plan provisions respecting early termination of the term of
outstanding grants, provided that if the Term shall end otherwise than at a
calendar year end, the Company shall not be required to recommend that the
stock option to be granted to the Executive with respect to such final year of
the Term cover more than that number of shares that is the product of
multiplying the annual grant provided for above by a fraction of which the
numerator is the number of days of the Term during such final year and the
denominator is 365, and provided further that this Section 3.3 shall not apply
following a Triggering Event.
3.4 Business Expenses. RCPC shall pay or reimburse the Executive
for all reasonable expenses actually incurred or paid by the Executive during
the Term in the performance of the Executive's services under this Agreement,
subject to and in accordance with the Company's applicable expense
reimbursement and related policies and procedures as in effect from time to
time.
3
3.5 Vacation. During each year of the Term, the Executive shall
be entitled to a vacation period or periods of four weeks taken in accordance
with the vacation policy of the Company as in effect from time to time.
3.6 Fringe Benefits.
(i) During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to
participate in the Revlon Executive Medical and Dental Programs and in those
qualified and non-qualified defined benefit, defined contribution, group
insurance, medical, dental, disability and other benefit plans of the Company
as from time to time in effect made available to senior executives of the
Company generally, shall be entitled to the use of a Company-provided
automobile in accordance with the Company's executive automobile policy and
guidelines as from time to time in effect having a value not less than that of
the automobile currently assigned to the Executive (adjusted as appropriate for
inflation), and shall be entitled to be reimbursed for the dues, assessments
and other like charges of membership in the University Club or other club of
like cost.
(ii) During the Term, RCPC agrees to make available to the
Executive additional term life insurance coverage with a face amount of three
times the Executive's Base Salary from time to time, subject to the insurer's
satisfaction with the results of any required medical examination, to which the
Executive hereby agrees to submit, and shall reimburse the Executive for the
premium expense related thereto and gross the Executive up for the tax payable
with respect to such reimbursement. Such coverage shall be provided pursuant to
the Company's optional supplemental term insurance program, if available, or if
not, the Executive may select a plan of the Executive's choice and may
designate the beneficiary of such plan.
(iii) During the Term RCPC shall maintain an individual policy
of disability insurance, naming the Executive as the insured and the Executive
or a designee as the beneficiary, with a benefit equal to (A) fifty percent of
the sum of the Executive's Base Salary in effect on the date of disability plus
the Executive's most recent annual bonus pursuant to Section 3.2 less (B) the
long-term disability benefit payable under the Company's group disability
program as in effect from time to time (irrespective of whether the Executive
has elected to participate in such long-term disability program), and upon the
Executive's retirement in accordance with the requirements of the Company's
former supplemental employees' retirement plan, in which the Executive was a
participant, the Company shall provide to the Executive a death benefit equal
to two times the Executive's final Base Salary as provided for in such plan
(which benefit may be provided from insurance or from the Company's
unsegregated general funds, as the Company may elect).
4. Termination.
4.1 Death. If the Executive shall die during the Term, the Term
shall terminate and no further amounts or benefits shall be payable hereunder
except pursuant to life insurance provided under Section 3.6.
4
4.2 Disability. If during the Term the Executive shall become
physically or mentally disabled, whether totally or partially, such that the
Executive is unable to perform the Executive's services hereunder for (i) a
period of six consecutive months or (ii) shorter periods aggregating six months
during any twelve month period, RCPC may at any time after the last day of the
six consecutive months of disability or the day on which the shorter periods of
disability shall have equaled an aggregate of six months, by written notice to
the Executive (but before the Executive has returned to active service
following such disability), terminate the Term and no further amounts or
benefits shall be payable hereunder, except that the Executive shall be
entitled to receive until the first to occur of (x) the Executive ceasing to be
disabled or (y) the Executive's attaining the age of 65, continued coverage for
the Executive under the Company paid group life insurance plan (including
supplemental coverage under Section 3.6) and for the Executive and his spouse
and children, if any, under the Company's group medical (including executive
medical) plan, to the extent permitted by such plans and to the extent such
benefits continue to be provided to the Company's senior executives generally.
4.3 Cause. In the event of gross neglect by the Executive of the
Executive's duties hereunder, conviction of the Executive of any felony,
conviction of the Executive of any lesser crime or offense involving the
property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, willful
misconduct by the Executive in connection with the performance of the
Executive's duties hereunder or other material breach by the Executive of this
Agreement, or any other conduct on the part of the Executive which would make
the Executive's continued employment with the Company materially prejudicial to
the best interests of the Company, RCPC may at any time by written notice to
the Executive terminate the Term and, upon such termination, the Executive
shall be entitled to receive no further amounts or benefits hereunder, except
as required by law.
4.4 Company Breach; Other Termination. In the event of the
breach of any material provision of this Agreement by RCPC or the failure of
the Compensation Committee (or other appropriate Committee of the Board of
Directors) to fully implement RCPC's recommendation pursuant to Section 3.3,
the Executive shall be entitled to terminate the Term upon 60 days' prior
written notice to the Company. In addition, at any time following a Triggering
Event, the Executive shall be entitled to terminate the Term and the
Executive's employment upon 60 days' prior written notice to the Company for
"Good Reason". As used herein, the term "Good Reason" shall mean any of the
following occurring following a Triggering Event which is not agreed to in
writing by the Executive: (a) a substantial adverse change in the Executive's
assigned responsibilities, (b) a relocation of the Executive's principal place
of business to a location which increases the Executive's round-trip
commutation by more than 50 miles, (c) failure of the Executive to continue
participation in bonus, salary review and equity incentive (or equivalent cash
incentive) plans and programs at least substantially equivalent to those
provided to the Executive prior to the Triggering Event, or (d) the failure of
the Executive to participate in all material employee benefit plans and fringe
benefit arrangements on substantially the same basis as like executives of the
major business unit of which the Executive is a part, provided however that
none of the foregoing events shall constitute "Good Reason" unless within 30
days after obtaining actual knowledge of such event the Executive gives written
notice to the Company of the Executive's intention to resign, specifically
identifying the event constituting Good Reason therefor, and the Company shall
fail to cure such
5
event within 30 days after such notice. In addition, RCPC shall be entitled to
terminate the Term and the Executives's employment at any time and without
prior notice otherwise than pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.2 or 4.3.
In consideration of the Executive's covenant in Section 5.2, upon termination
under this Section 4.4 by the Executive, or in the event RCPC so terminates the
Term otherwise than pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.2 or 4.3, RCPC
agrees, and the Company's sole obligation arising from such termination (except
as otherwise provided in Section 3.6) shall be (at the Executive's election by
written notice within 10 days after such termination), for RCPC either
(i) to make the payment prescribed by Section 3.2 and to
continue payments in lieu of Base Salary in the amounts prescribed by Section
3.1 and continue the Executive's participation in the group life insurance and
in the medical and dental plans of the Company in which the Executive was
entitled to participate pursuant to Section 3.6 (in each case less amounts
required by law to be withheld) through the date on which the Term would
otherwise have expired pursuant to Section 2.1, provided that such benefit
continuation is subject to the terms of such plans, provided further that such
group life insurance continuation is subject to a limit of two years pursuant
to the terms thereof, provided further that the Executive shall cease to be
covered by medical and/or dental plans of the Company at such time as the
Executive becomes covered by like plans of another company, and provided
finally that the Executive shall, as a condition, execute such release,
confidentiality, non-competition and other covenants as would be required in
order for the Executive to receive payments and benefits under the Policy
referred to in clause (ii) below, or
(ii) to make the payments and provide the benefits prescribed by
the Executive Severance Policy of the Company as in effect on the date of this
Agreement other than the provision in Paragraph IIIC(ii) establishing a limit
of six months on the lump sum payment provided for therein, which shall not be
applicable to the Executive, upon the Executive's compliance with the terms
thereof.
If such termination of employment shall occur prior to a Triggering Event, any
compensation earned by the Executive from other employment or a consultancy
shall reduce the payments required pursuant to clause (i) above or shall be
governed by the terms of the Executive Severance Policy as modified by the
foregoing in the case of clause (ii) above, but if the Executive's termination
of employment shall occur following a Triggering Event, the Executive shall
have no duty to mitigate by seeking other employment or otherwise and no
compensation earned by the Executive from other employment or a consultancy
shall reduce the payments provided for by clause (i) or (ii).
4.5 Section 280G.
4.5.1 If it shall be determined by the firm of Ernst & Young (or
if such firm shall be unable to serve, by another so-called Big 5 accounting
firm selected by such firm) ("E&Y") that there is not substantial authority to
support the deductibility for federal income tax purposes of one or more
payments or benefits due to the Executive, pursuant to this Agreement or
otherwise, by reason of section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code as amended
(the "Code")
6
or any successor provisions, then RCPC shall reduce the payment in lieu of
bonus provided for in Section 3.2 and then the payments in lieu of Base Salary
provided for in Section 4.4 (said reductions to be applied in inverse order
against the last payments otherwise due) to the extent necessary to avoid or,
if full avoidance is not possible by such reductions, to minimize, the loss of
deductions described above, provided that (a) except as specified in clause (b)
below, such reductions shall not exceed the amount of (i) payments or benefits
due solely as a result of this Agreement as amended hereby (and not as a result
of this Agreement as theretofore in effect or the Executive's participation in
any incentive, benefit or severance plan or arrangement applicable to the
Executive without regard to this Agreement) and (ii) benefits arising from the
acceleration to February 12, 2000 of the exercisability of the stock options
granted to the Executive effective February 12, 1999 (and not as a result of
the grant of such stock options), provided that (b) such reductions shall
exceed the amount specified in clause (a) above if and to the extent that E&Y
determines that on an after-tax basis a further reduction pursuant to this
clause (b) is more favorable to the Executive than foregoing such further
reduction. The parties agree that all income tax returns filed for the periods
affected by the foregoing shall be filed on a basis consistent with the
determinations of E&Y pursuant hereto, and that the determinations of E&Y with
respect to the foregoing shall be final and binding and not subject to judicial
or other review (except by E&Y at its own instance before or after any filing).
RCPC shall pay all fees and charges of E&Y in connection with this Section 4.5.
4.5.2 The parties acknowledge that as a result of uncertainty in
the application of Section 280G of the Code at the time of any determination by
E&Y pursuant to Section 4.5.1, it is possible that amounts will be paid or
distributed by RCPC to or for the benefit of the Executive which the parties
intended under Section 4.5.1 not to have been paid or distributed (an
"Overpayment") or that amounts will not be paid or distributed by RCPC to or
for the benefit of the Executive that the parties intended under Section 4.5.1
to have been paid or distributed (an "Underpayment"). In the event that E&Y
(based upon the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service
against RCPC or its affiliates or against the Executive or at E&Y's own
instance before or after any filing or deficiency) determines that an
Overpayment or an Underpayment has been made, such amount shall be treated for
all purposes as a loan by RCPC (in the case of an Overpayment) or by the
Executive (in the case of an Underpayment) to the other party which shall,
promptly following notice of such determination by E&Y, be repaid together with
interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of
the Code, provided however that to the extent that any Overpayment would result
in a reduction of payments or benefits other than those referred to in
subclauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 4.5.1(a), such loan shall be deemed
made and the Executive shall be required to repay the same only to the extent
that E&Y determines that on an after-tax basis such loan and repayment pursuant
to this Section 4.5.2 is more favorable to the Executive than foregoing such
loan and repayment, and provided further that no loan shall be deemed to have
been made and no amount shall be required to be repaid pursuant to this Section
4.5.2 to the extent that in the opinion of counsel to the Company such loan and
repayment would not either reduce the amount on which the Executive is subject
to excise tax or increase the amount of payments that are deductible by the
Company in relation to Section 280G of the Code.
7
4.6 Litigation Expenses. If RCPC and the Executive become
involved in any action, suit or proceeding relating to the alleged breach of
this Agreement by RCPC or the Executive, then if and to the extent that a final
judgment in such action, suit or proceeding is rendered in favor of the
Executive, RCPC shall reimburse the Executive for all expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by the Executive in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding or the portion thereof adjudicated in favor of the
Executive. Such costs shall be paid to the Executive promptly upon presentation
of expense statements or other supporting information evidencing the incurrence
of such expenses.
5. Protection of Confidential Information; Non-Competition.
5.1 The Executive acknowledges that the Executive's services
will be unique, that they will involve the development of Company-subsidized
relationships with key customers, suppliers, and service providers as well as
with key Company employees and that the Executive's work for the Company has
given and will give the Executive access to highly confidential information not
available to the public or competitors, including trade secrets and
confidential marketing, sales, product development and other data and plans
which it would be impracticable for the Company to effectively protect and
preserve in the absence of this Section 5 and the disclosure or
misappropriation of which could materially adversely affect the Company.
Accordingly, the Executive agrees:
5.1.1 except in the course of performing the Executive's duties
provided for in Section 1.1, not at any time, whether during or after the
Executive's employment with the Company, to divulge to any other entity or
person any confidential information acquired by the Executive concerning the
Company's or its affiliates' financial affairs or business processes or methods
or their research, development or marketing programs or plans, any other of its
or their trade secrets, any information regarding personal matters of any
directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company or its affiliates or
their respective family members, or any information concerning the
circumstances of the Executive's employment and any termination of the
Executive's employment with the Company or any information regarding
discussions related to any of the foregoing. The foregoing prohibitions shall
include, without limitation, directly or indirectly publishing (or causing,
participating in, assisting or providing any statement, opinion or information
in connection with the publication of) any diary, memoir, letter, story,
photograph, interview, article, essay, account or description (whether
fictionalized or not) concerning any of the foregoing, publication being deemed
to include any presentation or reproduction of any written, verbal or visual
material in any communication medium, including any book, magazine, newspaper,
theatrical production or movie, or television or radio programming or
commercial. In the event that the Executive is requested or required to make
disclosure of information subject to this Section 5.1.1 under any court order,
subpoena or other judicial process, the Executive will promptly notify RCPC,
take all reasonable steps requested by RCPC to defend against the compulsory
disclosure and permit RCPC to control with counsel of its choice any proceeding
relating to the compulsory disclosure. The Executive acknowledges that all
information the disclosure of which is prohibited by this section is of a
confidential and proprietary character and of great value to the Company.
8
5.1.2 to deliver promptly to the Company on termination of the
Executive's employment with the Company, or at any time that RCPC may so
request, all memoranda, notes, records, reports, manuals, drawings, blueprints
and other documents (and all copies thereof) relating to the Company's business
and all property associated therewith, which the Executive may then possess or
have under the Executive's control.
5.2 In consideration of RCPC's covenant in Section 4.4, the
Executive agrees (i) in all respects fully to comply with the terms of the
Employee Agreement as to Confidentiality and Non-Competition referred to in the
Revlon Executive Severance Policy (the "Non-Competition Agreement"), whether or
not the Executive is a signatory thereof, with the same effect as if the same
were set forth herein in full, and (ii) in the event that the Executive shall
terminate the Executive's employment otherwise than as provided in Section 4.4,
the Executive shall comply with the restrictions set forth in paragraph 9(e) of
the Non-Competition Agreement through the end of the Term provided for in
Section 2.1, subject only to the Company continuing to make payments equal to
the Executive's Base Salary during such period, notwithstanding the limitation
otherwise applicable under paragraph 9(d) thereof or any other provision of the
Non-Competition Agreement.
5.3 If the Executive commits a breach of any of the provisions
of Sections 5.1 or 5.2 hereof, RCPC shall have the following rights and
remedies:
5.3.1 the right and remedy to immediately terminate all further
payments and benefits provided for in this Agreement, except as may otherwise
be required by law in the case of qualified benefit plans,
5.3.2 the right and remedy to have the provisions of this
Agreement specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, it
being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach will cause irreparable
injury to the Company and that money damages and disgorgement of profits will
not provide an adequate remedy to the Company, and, if the Executive attempts
or threatens to commit a breach of any of the provisions of Sections 5.1 or
5.2, the right and remedy to be granted a preliminary and permanent injunction
in any court having equity jurisdiction against the Executive committing the
attempted or threatened breach (it being agreed that each of the rights and
remedies enumerated above shall be independent of the others and shall be
severally enforceable, and that all of such rights and remedies shall be in
addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to
RCPC under law or in equity), and
5.3.3 the right and remedy to require the Executive to account
for and pay over to the Company all compensation, profits, monies, accruals,
increments or other benefits (collectively "Benefits") derived or received by
the Executive as the result of any transactions constituting a breach of any of
the provisions of Sections 5.1 or 5.2 hereof, and the Executive hereby agrees
to account for and pay over such Benefits as directed by RCPC.
9
5.4 If any of the covenants contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2 or
5.3, or any part thereof, hereafter are construed to be invalid or
unenforceable, the same shall not affect the remainder of the covenant or
covenants, which shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid
portions.
5.5 If any of the covenants contained in Sections 5.1 or 5.2, or
any part thereof, are held to be unenforceable because of the duration of such
provision or the area covered thereby, the parties agree that the court making
such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and/or area of
such provision so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law and, in its reduced form, said provision shall then be
enforceable.
5.6 The parties hereto intend to and hereby confer jurisdiction
to enforce the covenants contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 upon the courts
of any state within the geographical scope of such covenants. In the event that
the courts of any one or more of such states shall hold such covenants wholly
unenforceable by reason of the breadth of such covenants or otherwise, it is
the intention of the parties hereto that such determination not bar or in any
way affect RCPC's right to the relief provided above in the courts of any other
states within the geographical scope of such covenants as to breaches of such
covenants in such other respective jurisdictions, the above covenants as they
relate to each state being for this purpose severable into diverse and
independent covenants.
5.7 Any termination of the Term or the Executive's employment
shall have no effect on the continuing operation of this Section 5.
6. Inventions and Patents.
6.1 The Executive agrees that all processes, technologies and
inventions (collectively, "Inventions"), including new contributions,
improvements, ideas and discoveries, whether patentable or not, conceived,
developed, invented or made by him during the Term shall belong to the Company,
provided that such Inventions grew out of the Executive's work with the Company
or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, are related in any manner to the
business (commercial or experimental) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries
or affiliates or are conceived or made on the Company's time or with the use of
the Company's facilities or materials. The Executive shall further: (a)
promptly disclose such Inventions to the Company; (b) assign to the Company,
without additional compensation, all patent and other rights to such Inventions
for the United States and foreign countries; (c) sign all papers necessary to
carry out the foregoing; and (d) give testimony in support of the Executive's
inventorship.
6.2 If any Invention is described in a patent application or is
disclosed to third parties, directly or indirectly, by the Executive within two
years after the termination of the Executive's employment with the Company, it
is to be presumed that the Invention was conceived or made during the Term.
10
6.3 The Executive agrees that the Executive will not assert any
rights to any Invention as having been made or acquired by the Executive prior
to the date of this Agreement, except for Inventions, if any, disclosed to the
Company in writing prior to the date hereof.
7. Intellectual Property.
Notwithstanding and without limitation of Section 6, the Company
shall be the sole owner of all the products and proceeds of the Executive's
services hereunder, including, but not limited to, all materials, ideas,
concepts, formats, suggestions, developments, arrangements, packages, programs
and other intellectual properties that the Executive may acquire, obtain,
develop or create in connection with or during the Term, free and clear of any
claims by the Executive (or anyone claiming under the Executive) of any kind or
character whatsoever (other than the Executive's right to receive payments
hereunder). The Executive shall, at the request of RCPC, execute such
assignments, certificates or other instruments as RCPC may from time to time
deem necessary or desirable to evidence, establish, maintain, perfect, protect,
enforce or defend its right, title or interest in or to any such properties.
8. Indemnification.
RCPC will indemnify the Executive, to the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law, against all costs, charges and expenses incurred
or sustained by the Executive in connection with any action, suit or proceeding
to which the Executive may be made a party, brought by any shareholder of the
Company directly or derivatively or by any third party by reason of any act or
omission of the Executive as an officer, director or employee of the Company or
of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company.
9. Notices.
All notices, requests, consents and other communications
required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be
deemed to have been duly given if delivered personally, sent by overnight
courier or mailed first class, postage prepaid, by registered or certified mail
(notices mailed shall be deemed to have been given on the date mailed), as
follows (or to such other address as either party shall designate by notice in
writing to the other in accordance herewith):
11
If to the Company, to:
Revlon Consumer Products Corporation
625 Madison Avenue
New York, New York 10022
Attention: General Counsel
If to the Executive, to the Executive's principal residence as
reflected in the records of the Company.
10. General.
10.1 This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and
enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to
agreements made between residents thereof and to be performed entirely in New
York.
10.2 The section headings contained herein are for reference
purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of
this Agreement.
10.3 This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and
understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and
supersedes all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings, written or
oral, relating to the subject matter hereof. No representation, promise or
inducement has been made by either party that is not embodied in this
Agreement, and neither party shall be bound by or liable for any alleged
representation, promise or inducement not so set forth.
10.4 This Agreement, and the Executive's rights and obligations
hereunder, may not be assigned by the Executive, nor may the Executive pledge,
encumber or anticipate any payments or benefits due hereunder, by operation of
law or otherwise. RCPC may assign its rights, together with its obligations,
hereunder (i) to any affiliate or (ii) to a third party in connection with any
sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of any business
to which the Executive's services are then principally devoted, provided that
no assignment pursuant to clause (ii) shall relieve RCPC from its obligations
hereunder to the extent the same are not timely discharged by such assignee.
10.5 This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded,
canceled, renewed or extended and the terms or covenants hereof may be waived,
only by a written instrument executed by both of the parties hereto, or in the
case of a waiver, by the party waiving compliance. The failure of either party
at any time or times to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no
manner affect the right at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by
either party of the breach of any term or covenant contained in this Agreement,
whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed
to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such breach, or a
waiver of the breach of any other term or covenant contained in this Agreement.
12
10.6 This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will
constitute one and the same instrument.
11. Subsidiaries and Affiliates. As used herein, the term
"subsidiary" shall mean any corporation or other business entity controlled
directly or indirectly by the corporation or other business entity in question,
and the term "affiliate" shall mean and include any corporation or other
business entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under
common control with the corporation or other business entity in question.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as
of the date first above written.
