Greeff (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 the Agreement, as amended by this Amendment (capitalized terms used herein without definition being used with the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement). Accordingly, RCPC and the Executive hereby amend the Agreement, effective as of August 18, 2003, as follows: 1. Employment, Duties. Section 1.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety: "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 the executive responsible for RCPC's strategic financing and to perform such other duties consistent with such position as may be assigned by the Chief Executive Officer of Revlon, Inc. (the "CEO"). The Executive's title shall be Executive Vice President, Strategic Finance, or such other titles of at least equivalent level and consistent with the Executive's duties from time to time as may be assigned to the Executive by the CEO. The Executive shall report to the CEO. The Executive shall continue to be a member of RCPC's Operating Committee. The Executive's primary duties shall include working on the Company's longer term financings including, without limitation, the Company's current bank credit agreement and the Company's other indebtedness (the "Refinancing")." 2. Term. Section 2 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety: "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 May 9, 2000 (the "Effective Date") and shall end on December 31, 2006. If the Executive's employment continues from and after December 31, 2006, the Executive shall be deemed an employee at will, provided, however, that 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 upon the Executive's compliance with the terms thereof, provided that the Executive shall be eligible for severance under the Revlon Executive Severance Policy and the period of severance pay and benefits as and to the extent provided under such Policy shall be 24 months, subject to the terms and conditions of the Revlon Executive Severance Policy. For the avoidance of doubt, the Executive shall be eligible for the severance pay and benefits described in the preceding sentence, if his employment ends at the end of the Term as a result of the Company's decision not to continue such employment for a reason that would not preclude him from receiving severance pay under the Revlon Executive Severance Policy. 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. Special Refinancing Bonus. Section 3.2.1 of the Agreement is hereby added to the Agreement, as follows: "3.2.1 Special Refinancing Bonus. Provided the Executive remains continuously employed by the Company through the completion of the Refinancing (for purposes of this Section 3.2.1., the determination of whether and when the Refinancing has been completed shall be in the reasonable judgment of the CEO), or in the event that the Executive's employment shall be terminated (i) by the Company for any reason other than Cause pursuant to Section 4.3 or (ii) by the Executive on account of Good Reason pursuant to Section 4.4, upon the completion of the Refinancing the Executive shall receive a Special Refinancing Bonus of not less than $1,000,000, with the opportunity for a greater incentive for achievement of extraordinary results, in all cases the amount of any such greater incentive shall be determined in the sole discretion of the CEO based upon the Executive's performance of the Executive's primary duties, as described in Section 1.1, including the extent to which the Executive has had a direct material impact on the completion of the Refinancing, subject to the approval by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Such Special Refinancing Bonus award shall be payable, less applicable withholdings and deductions, by no later than sixty (60) days after the completion of the Refinancing. It is understood and agreed that this Special Refinancing Bonus is in addition to any entitlement or eligibility Executive may have under this Agreement or otherwise for any payment of any other bonus compensation, including, without limitation, under Section 3.2 of this Agreement or the Revlon Executive Bonus Plan, as such Plan is in effect from time to time." 4. Stock Options. Section 3.3 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety: "3.3 Stock Options. The Executive shall be granted (i) on the Effective Date an option to purchase 100,000 shares of Revlon common stock (ii) subject to the Executive's continued employment not later than February 15, 2001, an option to purchase 50,000 shares of Revlon common stock, and (iii) subject to the Executive's continued employment not later than February 15, 2002, an option to purchase 50,000 shares of Revlon common stock, each with a term of 10 years from the date of grant and an option exercise price equal to the market price of Revlon common stock on the date of grant and otherwise on terms (other than number of shares covered) substantially the same as other senior executives of the Company generally. Subject to the Executive's continued employment with the Company, the options so recommended shall vest and become and remain exercisable as to 25% of the shares subject thereto on each of the first through fourth anniversaries of the date of grant or, if more advantageous to the Executive, on terms no less favorable than options granted to RCPC's senior most executives generally. 2 If prior to the end of the Term, the Company shall terminate the Executive other than for Cause pursuant to Section 4.3, or the Executive shall terminate his employment on account of Good Reason pursuant to Section 4.4, or if at or after the expiration of the Term, the Company terminates the Executive for a reason that would not preclude him from receiving severance pay under the Revlon Executive Severance Policy, the options so recommended in the first sentence of this Section 3.3, as well as the option to purchase 25,000 shares of Revlon common stock granted to the Executive on September 17, 2002 (which vests and becomes and remains exercisable as to 33% of the shares subject thereto on each of the first through third anniversaries of the date of grant), shall vest and be exercisable in accordance with the terms of the Revlon Inc. Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Plan or any plan that may replace it, as if the Executive had "retired" with the Company's consent within the meaning of such plan. For purposes of clarification and for the avoidance of doubt, treating options as if Executive had "retired" shall mean that each option held by the Executive as of the date of such termination shall continue to vest in accordance with its terms and provisions of this Agreement and shall remain exercisable for one year following the later to occur of (i) the date that such option becomes fully vested and exercisable or (ii) the date of such termination." 5. Fringe Benefits. The final two sentences of subsection (v)(a) of Section 3.6 of the Agreement are hereby amended to read as follows: "Only a percentage (the "Accrued Percentage") of the amount otherwise payable commencing with the Executive's retirement on or after February 1, 2018, pursuant to this Section 3.6(v)(a) shall be paid if the Executive's employment shall terminate prior to February 1, 2011, as follows: the Accrued Percentage for terminations on or after January 31, 2001 and prior to January 31, 2002, shall be 9.09% and thereafter, 9.09% additional to accrue as of each December 31st on which the Executive is still employed with the result that the benefit shall be 100% accrued on and after December 31, 2010. In addition, commencing with the Executive's retirement on or after February 1, 2011 but prior to February 1, 2018, the Executive shall be entitled to receive the applicable Accrued Percentage of the amount payable pursuant to this Section 3.6(v)(a) subject to actuarial reduction for such early commencement." 6. Company Breach; Other Termination. Subsections (i) and (ii) of Section 4.4 of the Agreement are hereby amended to read in their entirety: "(i) to make payments in lieu of Base Salary in the amounts prescribed by Section 3.1, to pay the Executive the guaranteed portion of any annual bonus contemplated by Section 3.2 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 the limousine service) (in each case less amounts required by law to be withheld) through December 31, 2006, provided that (1) such benefit continuation is subject to the terms of such plans, (2) group life insurance continuation is subject to a limit of two years pursuant to the terms thereof, (3) 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, (4) 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 3 Revlon Executive Severance Policy as in effect on the date of this Agreement and (5) any cash compensation paid or payable or any non-cash compensation paid or payable in lieu of cash compensation earned by the Executive from other employment or consultancy during such period shall reduce the payments provided for herein payable with respect to such other employment or consultancy (it being understood that the Executive shall have no obligation to repay to the Company any amounts previously paid to the Executive hereunder by the Company as a result of any compensation earned by Executive after the date of such payment), 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 (except that the provision on Paragraph IIIC(ii) establishing a limit of six months of payments shall not be applicable to the Executive) upon the Executive's compliance with the terms thereof, provided, however, that the Executive shall be eligible for severance pay and benefits (as and to the extent provided under the Executive Severance Policy) pursuant to this Subsection 4.4 (ii) for a period of 24 months." 7.
