entered into by and between REVLON CONSUMER PRODUCTS CORPORATION, a
Delaware corporation (“RCPC” and, together with its
parent Revlon, Inc. and its subsidiaries, the
“Company”), and Robert K. Kretzman (the
“Executive”).
Whereas RCPC
wishes to continue to employ the Executive as Executive Vice
President, Human Resources, Chief Legal Officer and General
Counsel, and the Executive wishes to accept continued employment
with the Company on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement.
Now, therefore,
RCPC and the Executive hereby agree as follows:
Employment, Duties and Acceptance .
1.1
Employment, Duties . RCPC hereby employs the Executive for
the Term (as defined in Section 2.1) to render exclusive and
full-time services to the Company as chief legal officer and the
executive responsible for world-wide legal affairs, human
resources, licensing and security of Revlon, Inc. and its
subsidiaries, and to perform such other duties consistent therewith
as may be assigned to the Executive from time to time. The
Executive’s title shall be Executive Vice President, Human
Resources, Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel, or such other
title of at least equivalent level consistent with the
Executive’s duties from time to time as may be assigned to
the Executive. The Executive shall be a member of the Operating
Committee or such other committee of the Company’s most
senior executives as may succeed the Operating Committee from time
to time and report to the President and Chief Executive Officer of
Revlon, Inc. or his designee.
1.2
Acceptance . The Executive hereby accepts such employment
and agrees to render the services described above. During the Term,
the Executive agrees to serve the Company faithfully and to the
best of the 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 RCPC 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 the
date hereof (the “Effective Date”) and shall end on
such date as is provided pursuant to Section 2.2.
2.2
End-of-Term Provisions . At any time during the Term, RCPC
shall have the right to give written notice of non-extension of the
Term. In the event RCPC gives such notice of non-extension, the
Term automatically shall end on the second anniversary of the date
on which RCPC give such notice. The giving of such notice shall not
be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by RCPC for purposes of
Section 4.4. During any period that the
Executive’s
employment
shall continue following expiration of the Term, the Executive
shall be eligible for severance on terms and subject to the
conditions of the Revlon Executive Severance Pay Plan as in effect
from time to time, or such plan or plans, if any, as may succeed
it; provided that the Executive shall receive terms no less
favorable than those of the Revlon Executive Severance Policy as in
effect on January 1, 2002 (the “Executive Severance
Plan”); and further provided that in no event shall the
severance and benefit continuation be less than 24 months,
upon the 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 in bi-weekly arrears, at the annual
rate of not less than that currently in effect on the Effective
Date (the “Base Salary”). All payments of Base Salary
or other compensation hereunder shall be less such deductions or
withholdings as are required by applicable law and regulations. The
Executive will be considered for merit increases in connection with
the Executive’s performance evaluations, which are performed
in accordance with the Company’s salary administration
policies and procedures. In the event that RCPC, in its sole
discretion, from time to time determines to increase the Base
Salary, such increased amount shall, from and after the effective
date of the increase, constitute “Base Salary” for
purposes of this Agreement and shall not thereafter be
decreased.
3.2
Bonus . In addition to the amounts to be paid to the
Executive pursuant to Section 3.1, the Executive shall be
eligible to receive a maximum annual bonus with respect to each
year during the Term equal to 100% of Base Salary at the rate or
rates in effect during the year for which bonus is earned, with a
target bonus equal to 75% of Base Salary, based upon achievement of
objectives set annually. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Executive’s employment shall end pursuant to Section 4.2
or 4.4 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.
Notwithstanding anything herein or contained in the Bonus Plan to
the contrary, in the event that the Executive’s employment
shall terminate pursuant to Section 4.4 during any calendar
year, the Executive shall be entitled to receive the
Executive’s bonus (if not already paid) with respect to the
year immediately preceding the year of termination (if bonuses with
respect to such year are payable to other executives based upon
achievement of bonus objectives and not based upon discretionary
amounts which may be paid to other executives despite
non-achievement of bonus objectives) as and when such bonuses would
otherwise be payable to executives under the Bonus Plan, despite
the fact that Executive may not be actively employed on such date
of payment.
2
3.3
Stock Awards . During the Term, the Executive shall be
considered for recommendation to the Compensation Committee or
other committee of the Board (the “Compensation
Committee”) administering the Second Amended and Restated
Revlon, Inc. Stock Plan (or any plan that may replace it) and/or
any other long-term incentive compensation plan of the Company as
from time to time in effect, for awards of stock options,
restricted shares or other awards, at levels and on terms
consistent with the Company’s long-term incentive
compensation programs and policies as in effect from time to time
commensurate with his position as Executive Vice President, Human
Resources, Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel of the Company.

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

may succeed it.
3.5
Vacation . During each year of the Term, the Executive shall
be entitled to a vacation period or periods in accordance with the
vacation policy of the Company as in effect from time to time, but
not less than the Executive’s current entitlement of four
weeks.

the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to continue to
participate in those qualified and non-qualified defined benefit,

perquisites as may be made available to senior executives of the
Company of the Executive’s level generally. In addition,

Executive, including all operating costs thereof, insurance,
maintenance and parking, and the Executive shall be entitled
to

life insurance of two times Executive’s Base Salary provided
to employees at no cost) of two times Executive’s Base
Salary. Notwithstanding any limitations in the qualified and/or
non-qualified defined benefit pension plans in which the Executive
participates, the Executive shall be entitled to receive a defined
pension benefit under such plans at age 60 as if the Executive had
elected to receive his pension benefit at age 65 (that is, without
reduction by reason of electing to receive benefits at age 60). In
consideration of RCPC’s covenants hereunder, the Executive
shall, and does hereby, waive participation in any profit sharing
plan of the Company. Upon the retirement of the Executive, he shall
be entitled to receive, whether from RCPC or the defined pension
benefit plans in which the Executive currently participates, an
aggregate monthly retirement benefit equal to the amount calculated
using the formulae of such plans as in effect on the date of this

become effective after the date hereof, with the various annuity
options available under such plans, and giving effect to the
Executive’s years of credited service and compensation
through his retirement date.

Executive terminate the Term for “Cause” and, upon such
termination, the Executive shall be entitled to receive no further

(i) to
make the payment in lieu of bonus prescribed by Section 3.2
and to continue payments in lieu of Base Salary in the amounts
prescribed by Section 3.1 and continue the Executive’s
participation in the group life insurance and in the medical,
dental and other perquisites of the Company in which the Executive
was entitled to participate pursuant to Section 3.6 (in each
case less amounts required by law to be withheld) through the date
on which the Term would have expired pursuant to Section 2.2,
if RCPC had given notice of non-extension of the Term on or as
promptly as permitted by Section 2.2 after the date of
termination of employment, provided that such benefit continuation
is subject to the terms of such plans, provided further that such
group life insurance continuation is subject to a limit of two
years pursuant to the terms thereof, provided further that the

of the Company at such time as the Executive becomes covered by

the terms thereof, provided that in no event shall the severance
period be less than 24 months.
The Company
shall provide the greater of the payments and other benefits
described under clauses (i) and (ii) of this
Section 4.4; provided , however , if the

Executive

cost to the Company) of such benefits. Any compensation earned by

the payments required pursuant to clause (i) above or shall be
governed by the terms of the Executive Severance Plan as modified
by the foregoing in the case of clause (ii) above.

Executive for all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’
fees) incurred by the Executive in connection with such action,
suit or proceeding or the portion thereof adjudicated in favor of
the Executive. Such costs shall be paid to the Executive promptly
upon presentation of expense statements or other supporting
information evidencing the incurrence of such expenses.
4.6
Internal Revenue Code Section 409A . Section 409A
of the Code (as defined below) and/or its related rules and
regulations (“Section 409A”), imposes additional
taxes and interest on compensation or benefits deferred under
certain “nonqualified deferred compensation plans” (as
defined under the Code). These plans may include, among others,
nonqualified retirement plans, bonus plans, stock option plans,
employment agreements and severance agreements. The Company
reserves the right to provide compensation or benefits under any
such plan in amounts, at times and in a manner that minimizes
taxes, interest or penalties as a result of Section 409A,
including any required withholdings, and the Executive agrees to
cooperate with the Company in such actions. Specifically, and
without limitation of the previous sentence, if the Executive is a
“specified employee,” as such term is defined under
Section 409A (generally one of the Company’s top 50
highest paid officers), to the extent required under
Section 409A, the Company will not make any payments to the
Executive under this Agreement upon a “separation of
service,” as such term is defined under Section 409A,
until six months after the Executive’s date of separation
from service or, if earlier, the date of the Executive’s
death. Upon expiration of the six-month period, or, if earlier, the
date of the Executive’s death, the Company shall make a
payment to the Executive (or his beneficiary or estate, if
applicable) equal to the sum of all payments that would have been
paid to the Executive from the date of separation from service had
the Executive not been a “specified employee” through
the end of the six month period,
