Exhibit 10.3

     This AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of July 29, 2009, is entered into by and between REVLON CONSUMER PRODUCTS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“RCPC” and, together with its parent Revlon, Inc. and its subsidiaries, the “Company”), and Robert K. Kretzman (the “Executive”).

     Whereas 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.

          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. If the Company shall terminate the Executive’s employment without Cause pursuant to Section 4.4 or if the Executive shall terminate his employment pursuant to Section 4.4, each option award held by the Executive (collectively, the “Option Awards”) and each restricted share award held by the Executive (collectively, the “Restricted Share Awards” and, together with the Option Awards, the “Equity Awards”), shall (x) in the case of each of the Option Awards, (A) continue to vest in accordance with its terms as if the 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 effect from time to time, or such policy or policies, if any, as may succeed it.

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

          3.6 Fringe Benefits .

          (i) During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to continue to participate in those qualified and non-qualified defined benefit, defined contribution, insurance, medical (including the Revlon Executive Supplemental Medical Plan), dental, disability and other benefit plans and programs of the Company as from time to time in effect (or their successors) in which the Executive participated on the date hereof and in such other plans and programs and in such perquisites as may be made available to senior executives of the Company of the Executive’s level generally. In addition, during the Term the Company shall provide to the Executive an automobile of a class appropriate to the Executive’s grade from time to time (but in any event equivalent to the automobile provided on the date of this Agreement) without cost to the Executive, including all operating costs thereof, insurance, maintenance and parking, and the Executive shall be entitled to

reimbursement for tax preparation and financial counseling services and health club membership with annual maximums at least comparable to those in effect on the date of this Agreement.

          (ii) During the Term, RCPC shall provide the Executive, at no cost to the Executive, with additional life insurance (in excess of the basic 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 Agreement notwithstanding any amendment to such plans which may 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.

          4.4 Company Breach; Other Termination . The Executive shall be entitled to terminate the Term and the Executive’s employment upon 60 days’ prior written notice in the event that (i) RCPC materially breaches any of its obligations hereunder, (ii) a material adverse change in the position, title or reporting structure of the Executive, or (iii) a relocation of Revlon, Inc.’s headquarters outside the New York metropolitan area or the relocation of the Executive’s principal place of employment to any location other than such headquarters, provided the Company shall fail to cure any such event described in (i), (ii) or (iii) within 30 days after such notice; or that at any time prior to a Change of Control, the Compensation Committee (or other appropriate Committee) of the Board of Directors of Revlon, Inc. shall fail to grant awards pursuant to Section 3.3.In addition, RCPC shall be entitled to terminate the Term and the Executive’s employment at any time and without prior notice otherwise than pursuant to the provisions of Section 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 pursuant to this Section 4.4, RCPC agrees, and the Company’s sole obligation arising from such termination (except as otherwise provided in Section 3.6) shall be for RCPC either

               (i) to make the payment in lieu of bonus prescribed by Section 3.2 and to continue payments in lieu of Base Salary in the amounts prescribed by Section 3.1 and continue the 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 Executive shall cease to be covered by medical and/or dental plans of the Company at such time as the Executive becomes covered by like plans of another company, and provided finally that the Executive shall, as a condition, execute such release, confidentiality, non-competition and other covenants as would be required in order for the Executive to receive payments and benefits under the Policy referred to in clause (ii) below, or

               (ii) to make the payments and provide the benefits prescribed by the Executive Severance Plan upon the Executive’s compliance with the terms thereof, provided that in no event shall the severance period be less than 24 months.

The Company shall provide the greater of the payments and other benefits described under clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 4.4; provided , however , if the provision of any benefits described above would trigger a tax under Section 409A, the Company shall instead promptly pay to the Executive

in a cash lump sum payment an amount equal to the value (based on the then-current cost to the Company) of such benefits. Any compensation earned by the Executive from other employment or a consultancy shall reduce the payments required pursuant to clause (i) above or shall be governed by the terms of the Executive Severance Plan as modified by the foregoing in the case of clause (ii) above.

          4.5 Litigation Expenses . If RCPC and the Executive become involved in any action, suit or proceeding relating to the alleged breach of this Agreement by RCPC or the Executive, then if and to the extent that a final judgment in such action, suit or proceeding is rendered in favor of the Executive, RCPC shall reimburse the Executive for all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Executive in connection with such action, suit or proceeding or the portion thereof adjudicated in favor of the Executive. Such costs shall be paid to the Executive promptly upon presentation of expense statements or other supporting information evidencing the incurrence of such expenses.

          4.6 Internal Revenue Code Section 409A . Section 409A of the Code (as defined below) and/or its related rules and regulations (“Section 409A”), imposes additional taxes and interest on compensation or benefits deferred under certain “nonqualified deferred compensation plans” (as defined under the Code). These plans may include, among others, nonqualified retirement plans, bonus plans, stock option plans, employment agreements and severance agreements. The Company reserves the right to provide compensation or benefits under any such plan in amounts, at times and in a manner that minimizes taxes, interest or penalties as a result of Section 409A, including any required withholdings, and the Executive agrees to cooperate with the Company in such actions. Specifically, and without limitation of the previous sentence, if the Executive is a “specified employee,” as such term is defined under Section 409A (generally one of the 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,
