Revlon's acceptance of any Notes tendered by the Noteholder (or an affiliate or consolidated fund) shall be subject to satisfaction of each of the Conditions (or waiver by the Noteholder of each of the Conditions), provided, however, that Revlon will not make any material modification of the terms of the Exchange Offer, without the Noteholder's consent. This Support Agreement shall terminate upon the first to occur (the "Termination Date") of (a) the termination, expiration or consummation of the Exchange Offer; (b) any court of competent jurisdiction or other competent governmental or regulatory authority issuing an order making illegal or otherwise restricting, preventing or prohibiting the Exchange Offer in a way that cannot be reasonably remedied by the Company; (c) material breach by the Company of any of the Covenants; (d) the lenders under RCPC's senior secured credit facility having accelerated any amounts owed thereunder; (e) June 30, 2004, if the Exchange Offer has not been consummated by such date; (f) the Documents not being consistent in all material respects with the terms and provisions of the Term Sheet or containing any provision materially inconsistent with the Term Sheet; or (g) a Material Misstatement. Prior to the Termination Date, the Noteholder agrees that, without Revlon's prior written consent, it will not, and will cause its affiliates and consolidated funds not to, directly or indirectly, sell, assign, grant an option with respect to, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Initial Fidelity Notes, in whole or in part, unless the transferee 3 agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Support Agreement with respect to the Notes purchased by such transferee as though it was an original signatory hereto, which writing the Noteholder (or affiliate or consolidated fund) shall provide to the Company and is found by the Company to be reasonably acceptable. Unless required by applicable law or regulation, prior to the initial press release (which press release shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Noteholder except in all cases as required by applicable law) describing the Refinancing Transactions, this Support Agreement and the Mafco Support Agreement (as defined below), the Company shall not disclose the Noteholder's (or any affiliate's or consolidated fund's) identity or its individual holdings of Notes without the prior written consent of the Noteholder; and if such announcement or disclosure is so required by law or regulation, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to afford the Noteholder a reasonable opportunity to review, comment upon, object to or seek a consent order preventing any such announcement or disclosure prior to the Company's making such announcement or disclosure. The foregoing shall not prohibit the Company from disclosing the approximate aggregate principal amount of the Initial Fidelity Notes held by the Noteholder (and its affiliates and consolidated funds). Each of the parties represents to each other party that, as of the date of this Support Agreement, such party is, and at all times thereafter until the Termination Date such party will be duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the state of its organization, and has all requisite corporate, partnership, or limited liability company power and authority to enter into this Support Agreement and to carry out the transactions contemplated by, and perform its respective obligations under, this Support Agreement. Without limiting the rights of each party hereto to pursue all other legal and equitable rights available to such party for any other party's failure to perform each of its obligations under this Support Agreement, it is understood and agreed by each of the parties that any breach of or threatened breach of this Support Agreement would give rise to irreparable harm for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy and, accordingly, the parties agree that, in addition to any other remedies, each non-breaching party shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief for any such breach or threatened breach. To the extent any of the parties may be entitled to the benefit of any provision of law requiring any party in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Support Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby to post security for litigation costs or otherwise post a performance bond or guaranty or to take any similar action, each party hereby irrevocably waives such benefit, in each case to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted under the laws of any such other jurisdiction. This Support Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and representatives. 4 This Support Agreement, as may be supplemented by the Shareholders Agreement, upon execution thereof, including the exhibit(s) hereto and thereto, constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Support Agreement, and supersedes all other prior negotiations, agreements, and understandings, whether written or oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Support Agreement; provided, however, that any confidentiality agreement executed by any party hereto shall survive this agreement and shall continue in full force and effect irrespective of the terms hereof, including, without limitation, the Confidentiality Agreement dated January 13, 2004, between Fidelity Management & Research Co., Bondholder Advisor and Revlon.
