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 August 18, 2003 or such earlier date mutually agreeable to the Executive and RCPC (the "Effective Date") and shall end on August 17, 2006. During any period that the Executive's employment shall continue following the end of the Term, the Executive shall be deemed an employee at will, provided, however, that the Executive shall be eligible for severance on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Revlon Executive Severance Policy as in effect from time to time (the "Executive Severance Policy"), provided that the Severance Period for the Executive under the Executive Severance Policy shall be no less than 24 months. 2.2 Special Curtailment.

The Executive will be considered for merit review 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. ------ (a) The Executive shall be eligible to participate in the Revlon Executive Bonus Plan as in effect from time to time, or such plan or plans, if any, as may succeed it (the "Bonus Plan") with maximum bonus eligibility for 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 of 70% of Base Salary for significantly over-achieving performance objectives set by the Compensation Committee or its designee and target bonus eligibility of 45% of Base Salary for achieving performance objectives set by the Compensation Committee or its designee (and 100% for significant overachievement and 75% for achieving performance objectives after 2006), subject to the terms and conditions of such Bonus Plan.

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 his bonus (if not already paid) with respect to the year immediately preceding the year of termination (if bonuses with respect to such year are payable to other executives based upon achievement of bonus objectives and not based upon discretionary amounts which may be paid to other executives despite non-achievement of bonus objectives) as and when such 2  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. (b) Within one year of the Executive's start date, the Company will provide a retention incentive to Executive of $600,000 gross, less applicable taxes and withholdings (the "Retention Incentive"). Should Executive's employment with the Company's terminate for Cause pursuant to Section 4.3 or should Executive terminate his employment for a reason other than "Good Reason" under Section 4.4, but in no other circumstances, Executive shall be required to repay the Company that portion of the Retention Incentive equal to the product of (i) the Retention Incentive multiplied by (ii) a fraction the numerator of which shall equal 48 minus the number of full months that have elapsed between the date of commencement of Executive's employment by the Company and the date of termination and the denominator of which shall equal 48 and the Company shall be entitled to offset any amounts not so repaid against any other amounts due to the Executive from the Company. 3.3 Stock-Based Compensation. ------------------------- (a) Stock Options.
