AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE LOAN
SECTION 2.01 THE LOAN. The principal amount of the Loan to the Company
outstanding on the Closing Date is (Yen)4,310,496,600.
SECTION 2.02 INTEREST PERIOD SELECTION. The Company may select an
Interest Period for the Loan by giving irrevocable notice by telex or telephone
(confirmed in writing) to the Bank of the desired Interest Period, which notice
shall be effective only if received by the Bank not less than four Business
Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period. In the event the Company
fails to select an Interest Period, the Interest Period deemed to be selected
will be six months.
SECTION 2.03 INTEREST ON THE LOAN. (a) Subject to Section 2.07(a), the
Company shall pay to the Bank interest on the unpaid principal amount of the
Loan until paid in full with respect to each day during each Interest Period at
a rate per annum equal to the EuroYen Rate for such Interest Period determined
in accordance with Section 2.03(b) plus the Applicable Margin in effect on such
day; provided that if any Interest Period is for a period longer than three
months, interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loan shall be payable on
the date that is three months after the beginning of such Interest Period and
on each date that is three months after such date and on the last day of such
Interest Period. Interest accrued and unpaid on any portion of the principal of
the Loan required to be paid or prepaid hereunder shall be due and payable on
the date on which such principal is required to be paid or prepaid. Accrued and
unpaid interest shall be due and payable on the outstanding principal amount of
the Loan at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), and after
maturity, on demand.
(b) The EuroYen Rate for each Interest Period (the "EUROYEN RATE")
shall be determined by the Bank as the average (rounded upward, if necessary,
to the nearest 1/16 of 1%) of the offered quotation to prime banks in the
London interbank EuroYen market by the London Branch of the Bank for Japanese
Yen deposits of amounts in immediately available funds comparable to the
outstanding principal amount of the Loan and with maturities comparable to such
Interest Period as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the date which is two
Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period.
13
(c) The Bank, upon determining the EuroYen Rate for an Interest
Period, shall promptly notify the Company of the applicable EuroYen Rate by
telex, telecopy or telephone. If, (i) on any date on which an applicable
EuroYen Rate is to be determined pursuant to Section 2.03(b), deposits in Yen
are not being offered by the Bank to prime banks in the London interbank market
for the applicable Interest Period, or the Bank determines in good faith that
the EuroYen Rate does not accurately and fairly reflect the cost to the Bank of
making or maintaining the Loan (in which event the Bank shall promptly advise
the Company of such circumstances by telephone or in writing no later than
12:00 noon (Los Angeles time) on such date) or, (ii) any of the circumstances
contemplated in Section 3.01(a) occurs, then the Company and the Bank shall
negotiate in good faith to agree mutually upon an alternate interest rate (and
any related terms) to be applicable for purposes of this Agreement and the Note
so long as such circumstances exist. Such mutually agreed upon rate and other
terms shall be applied retroactively to (x) in the case of clause (i) above,
the first day of the period that would have, but for such circumstances,
constituted such Interest Period or, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the
date that notice given to the Company by the Bank pursuant to Section 3.01(a)
is effective as provided for in Section 3.01(b); provided, however, that such
mutual agreement has been reached no later than the tenth Business Day of such
period. If on or prior to the tenth Business Day of such period the Company and
the Bank fail to agree on a mutually acceptable alternate rate and other terms
in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and provided that (1)
the LTP Rate is being offered to commercial borrowers by the Bank on such date,
and (2) the Company and the Bank agree in good faith to modify the terms of
this Agreement in accordance with standard market practices to reflect the
conversion of the Loan from a loan bearing interest based on the EuroYen Rate
to a loan bearing interest based on the LTP Rate, the Loan shall bear interest
at the LTP Rate plus the Applicable Margin, provided further, however, if the
LTP Rate is not being offered to commercial borrowers on such date, or the
Company and the Bank do not agree as provided in clause (2) above, then on such
tenth Business Day, the entire outstanding principal amount of the Loan shall
become immediately due and payable and shall be repaid, together with accrued
interest on its principal amount and any related Bank Charges to the date of
prepayment. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, interest shall
accrue from the first day of such period to, but not including, the date of
repayment of the Loan at a rate determined by the Bank in good faith to be
equal to the Bank's actual cost of funds for maintaining the Loan for such
period plus the Applicable Margin.
SECTION 2.04 NOTE. The Company's obligation to pay the principal of
and the interest on the Loan shall be evidenced by the Note.
SECTION 2.05 FEES. (a) The Company shall have paid to the Bank an
amendment fee equal to the product of (i) .375% multiplied by (ii) the
aggregate principal amount of the Loan on the Closing Date; provided that such
fee shall be payable in United States dollars, based on the conversion rate set
forth in the Wall Street Journal on the Closing Date.
(b) On March 31, 1998, the Company shall pay to the Bank an amendment
fee equal to the product of (a) .125% multiplied by (b) the aggregate principal
amount of the Loan (after giving effect to any principal payment on March 31,
1998).
14
(c) If any amendment or other modification to the New Consumer
Products Credit Agreement amends or otherwise modifies any of the financial
covenants incorporated in this Agreement on the Closing Date, the Bank shall
receive, on the date such amendment or other modification becomes effective, an
amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the quotient of (1) the amount of
the amendment fee, if any, paid or payable in connection with such amendment or
modification divided by (2) the aggregate amount of the commitments under the
New Consumer Products Credit Agreement in effect on the date of such amendment
or modification multiplied by (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Loan
in effect on the date of such amendment or modification.
SECTION 2.06 MANDATORY REPAYMENT OF THE LOAN.
(a) In the event of a Net Proceeds Event, the Company shall prepay the
Loan by an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Net Proceeds and
(ii) the Shortfall Amount as of such date. The date of such prepayment shall be
the Net Proceeds Event Date or, if such prepayment is required after the Net
Proceeds Event Date as a result of the receipt of cash proceeds from a Net
Proceeds Event, on the date such cash proceeds are received. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to make a prepayment pursuant
to this subsection upon a transfer of the PFC Pledged Stock to a Qualified
Subsidiary if the Bank receives prior to the date of such disposition an
opinion of counsel (including an opinion of in-house counsel) reasonably
acceptable to the Bank, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the
Bank, to the effect that the Loan Obligations on and after such sale or
disposition continue to the secured by a first priority security interest in
the PFC Pledged Stock to the same extent (and with the same priority) as prior

March 31, 1999 3,771,684,525
; provided that, if the Final Maturity Date is extended to December 31, 2000 as
provided in the definition of Final Maturity Date, then, instead of being
required to make the payment of (Yen)3,771,684,525 on March 31, 1999, the
Company shall make principal payments of (i) (Yen)538,812,075 on Xxxxx 00, 0000,
(xx) (Yen)538,812,075 on March 31, 2000 and (iii) (Yen)2,694,060,375 on December

Agreement. In addition, all accrued and unpaid interest and all Bank Charges
and other amounts due to the Bank under this Agreement shall be due and payable
on the Final Maturity Date.
15
In addition, all accrued and unpaid interest and all Bank Charges and
other amounts due to the Bank under this Agreement shall be due and payable on
the Final Maturity Date.
(c) [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]
(d) In the event of any sale or other disposition by the Mortgagor of
the Property to any Person, other than a Qualified Subsidiary, or any sale or
other disposition by Revlon International of the Pledged Stock to any Person,
other than to a Qualified Subsidiary, then the Company shall prepay the
outstanding principal amount of the Loan, together with all accrued and unpaid
interest and other amounts due to the Bank under this Agreement and the Note,
on the date of such sale or other disposition; provided that a sale or
disposition to a Qualified Subsidiary shall be exempt from the prepayment
provisions of this Section 2.06(d) only if the Bank receives prior to the date
of such disposition an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Bank
(including in-house counsel), in form and substance reasonably acceptable to
the Bank, to the effect that the obligations of the Company hereunder and under
the other Operative Agreements on and after such sale or disposition continue
to the secured by a first priority security interest in the Property or the
Pledged Stock, as the case may be. The Company agrees to give the Bank notice
in accordance with Section 8.01 at least 20 days prior to the date of any such
sale or other disposition.
(e) (i) All payments and any prepayment of the Loan shall be made (y)
together with all accrued interest on the amount to be paid or prepaid to and
including the date of such payment or prepayment and (z) if such payment or
prepayment is made on a date that is not the last day of an Interest Period,
together with all amounts due pursuant to Section 3.02. All payments of
principal shall be applied to the obligations of the Company in accordance with
Section 2.07(d). (ii) The Lien created by the Mortgage, the Pledge Agreement,
the Stock Pledge Agreement and the other Security Instruments shall be
terminated upon receipt by the Bank of payment in full of the outstanding
principal amount of the Loans and all interest, Bank Charges and other amounts
then due and payable under this Agreement and the Note. (iii) The Bank shall as
promptly as practicable and at the expense of the Company upon each termination
pursuant to this Section 2.06(e) execute and deliver such releases, notices or
other documents as the Company may reasonably request for the purpose of
evidencing any such termination.
(f) The Bank shall deliver an Appraisal to the Company not more than
30 days after the Company informs the Bank that (i) it is contemplating a Net
Proceeds Event or making a prepayment of the Loan pursuant to this Agreement or
(ii) desires a calculation of the Shortfall Amount (but in the case of clause
(ii) hereof, not more frequently than twice per calendar year). If the Company
in good faith believes that the first Appraisal delivered by the Bank to the
Company understates the fair market value of the Property, the Company may,
within 10 days of receipt of such Appraisal from the Bank request that a second
Appraisal be conducted, whereupon the Bank shall provide to the Company a list
naming three qualified appraisers, independent of the Bank. The Company shall,
within ten days of receipt of such list, select one appraiser from such list,
who shall conduct a second Appraisal at the request and expense of the Company.
The Company shall
16
deliver such second Appraisal to the Bank promptly upon receipt thereof (but in
no event less than 10 days prior to the date the Company has informed the Bank
that it intends to consummate a Net Proceeds Event or make a prepayment of the
Loan pursuant to this Agreement).
SECTION 2.07 PAYMENTS; CALCULATIONS; OVERDUE INTEREST; APPLICATION.

year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but
excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is
payable.
(c) Overdue Interest. In the event that any Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the outstanding principal amount of the Loan and,

proceeding under applicable bankruptcy or insolvency laws) payable upon demand

against interest due on the Loan; then against any portion of the Loan then due
and payable; and thereafter against any prepayment of the Loan subject to the
terms and conditions of the Agreement required for such prepayment. If any
payment is insufficient to pay any such category in full, the Bank shall apply
the payment received in the chronological order that each amount in such
category became due.
SECTION 2.08 OPTIONAL PREPAYMENT. (a) Upon at least 5 Business Days'
prior written notice to the Bank, the Company may, at its option prepay the
Loan (together with accrued interest on the amount prepaid and any Bank
Charges) then outstanding, in whole at any time or in part from time to time,

pursuant to Section 3.02 and (iii) partial prepayments shall be applied against
the Loan in accordance with Section 2.07(d).

interest to such date on the amount of the Loan to be so prepaid and all
related Bank Charges.

Bank shall fall due on a day that is not a Business Day, then, the due date
thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such
extension shall be taken into account in the computation of interest or other
amounts due.

Bank provided by law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the
acceleration of the Loan pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Agreement, the Bank

expressly waived by the Company to the extent permitted by applicable law, to
set-off and apply against any indebtedness, whether matured or unmatured and
whether fixed or contingent, of the Company to the Bank under the Agreement,
any amount owing from the Bank to the Company at any time after the happening
of the above mentioned events, and such right of set-off may be exercised by
the Bank against the Company or against any trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in
possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, and manager,

Company or any other Person claiming through or against the Company or such
trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of
creditors, receiver, receiver and manager, liquidator, custodian, execution,
judgment or attachment creditor or other Person, notwithstanding the fact that
such right of set-off shall not have been exercised by the Bank prior to the
making, filing or issuance, or service upon the Bank of, or of notice of, any
such petition, assignment for the benefit of creditors, appointment or
application for the appointment of a receiver, receiver and manager, liquidator
or the issuance of an execution, subpoena, order or warrant.

ARTICLE III
LEGAL RESTRICTIONS; YIELD PROTECTIONS
SECTION 3.01 LEGAL RESTRICTIONS. (a) If, after the Closing Date, the
adoption of any applicable Governmental Rule, any change in any applicable
Governmental Rule or in the interpretation or administration of any
Governmental Rule by any Governmental Person charged with its interpretation or
administration or compliance by the Bank (or its Lending Office) with any
request, directive, guideline or policy (whether or not having the force of
law) of any such Governmental Person shall make it unlawful or impossible for
the Bank (or its Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund the Loan bearing
interest based on the then EuroYen Rate, then, subject to Section 3.01(b), by
written notice from the Bank to the Company of the unlawfulness or
impossibility then existing, the Loan shall be converted to a loan bearing
interest at a mutually agreed upon interest rate or the LTP Rate, or the Loan
shall be repaid, as provided in Section 2.03(c).
(b) For purposes of this Section 3.01, a notice to the Company by the
Bank pursuant to Section 3.01(a) above shall be effective either (i) on the
last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to the Loan, if it
shall not be unlawful or impossible for the Bank to continue to maintain and
fund the Loan at the EuroYen Rate to such day, or (ii) immediately, if it shall
be unlawful or impossible for the Bank to make and maintain or continue to
maintain and fund the Loan at the EuroYen Rate to the last day of the then
current Interest Period (in which case the Company shall in addition reimburse
the Bank for any resulting losses as provided in Section 3.02).
SECTION 3.02 FUNDING LOSSES. The Company shall reimburse the Bank
within 15 days after demand for any loss incurred or to be incurred by it in
the reemployment of the funds released by any repayment or prepayment
(including as a result of acceleration) of the Loan required or permitted under
any provision of this Agreement, in each case if the Loan is repaid or prepaid
other than on the last day of an Interest Period. Such loss shall be the
difference, as reasonably determined by the Bank, between (a)(i) in the case of
voluntary repayment or prepayment by reason of the occurrence of an Event of
Default or otherwise (including as a result of the sale of the Property or the
Pledged Stock under Section 2.06) required or permitted under this Agreement,
the Bank's cost of obtaining the funds for the Loan being refused, repaid or
prepaid plus the Applicable Margin or (ii) in the case of any required
repayment or prepayment under Sections 2.03 or 3.01, the Bank's cost of
obtaining funds for the Loan being repaid or prepaid and (b) any lesser amount
which would have been realized by the Bank in reemploying the funds so received
in repayment or prepayment or so refused by placing such funds on deposit for a
comparable period in the London EuroYen market, in each case during the period
from the date of refusal, repayment or prepayment (as the case may be) to the
end of the then current Interest Period. Any demand for reimbursement under
this Section 3.02 by the Bank shall be in writing, and show in reasonable
detail the amount payable and the calculations used to determine in good faith
such
19
reimbursable amount and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. For purposes
of this Section 3.02, if the Company is required to make any additional
prepayments under Section 3.03 or 3.05, any prepayment by the Company during
the time such requirement is in effect shall be deemed a required prepayment
and any prepayment under Section 3.03 or deemed prepayment under Section 8.11
shall be deemed a required prepayment.
SECTION 3.03 INCREASED COSTS. (a) If, after the date of this
Agreement, the adoption of any applicable Governmental Rule, any change in any
applicable Governmental Rule or in the interpretation or administration of any
applicable Governmental Rule by any Governmental Person charged with its
interpretation or administration or compliance by the Bank (or its United
States Lending Office) with any request, directive, guideline or policy
(whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Person:
(i) shall subject the Bank (or its Lending Office) to any tax, duty or
other charge or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to the Bank
(or its Lending Office) of the principal of, or interest on the Loan or any
other amounts due under this Agreement or the Note in respect of the Loan
(except in each such case for taxes imposed on the overall net income of
the Bank or its Lending Office imposed by the income tax laws of any
jurisdiction to which the Bank or its Lending Office is subject); or
(ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including
any imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System),
special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or
for the account of, or credit extended by, the Bank (or its Lending Office)
or shall impose on the Bank (or its Lending Office) or the relevant market
any other condition affecting the Loan;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to or to impose
a cost on the Bank (or its Lending Office) of making, maintaining or funding
the Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Bank
(or its Lending Office) under this Agreement or the Note, then, within 15 days
after demand by the Bank, the Company shall (1) prepay the Loan, without
premium or penalty, together with all amounts due under this Agreement and the
Note (including amounts due under clause (2) of this Section 3.03(a)) or (2)
pay to the Bank such additional amount or amounts as will reimburse the Bank
for such increased cost or reduction, in each case, without duplication of
payments made pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement. The Bank will
promptly notify the Company of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring
after the date of this Agreement, which will entitle the Bank to compensation
pursuant to this Section 3.03 and the Bank shall take any reasonable action
available to it (including the designation of a different United States Lending
Office) that will avoid the need for, or reduce (to an extent determined by the
Bank in its sole judgment to be material) the amount of, such compensation and
will not, in the sole judgment of the Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to the
Bank.
(b) Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, the Company shall
pay to the Bank on the last day of each Interest Period with respect to the
Loan so long as reserves shall be
20
required to be maintained against "Eurocurrency liabilities" under Regulation D
(or, so long as the Bank may be required, by reason of any regulatory change,
to maintain reserves against any other category of liabilities which includes
deposits by reference to which the interest rate on the Loan is determined as
provided in this Agreement or against any category of extensions of credit or
other assets of the Bank which extensions of credit or other assets of the Bank
which includes the Loan) an additional amount (determined by the Bank and
notified to the Company) equal to the result of the following formula for each
day during such Interest Period:
((Y)-Y)
P((1-R))
360
P = the principal amount of the Loan to which such Interest Period
relates outstanding on such day;
Y = the applicable EuroYen Rate (expressed as a decimal); and
R = the stated rate (expressed as a decimal) at which such
reserve requirements are imposed on the Bank.
(c) A certificate of the Bank claiming compensation under this Section
3.03 and setting forth in reasonable detail the additional amount or amounts to
be paid to it and the calculation and methods used in good faith to determine
such amount shall be conclusive evidence of the amount of such compensation
absent manifest error. In determining such amount, the Bank may use any
reasonable averaging and attribution methods.
SECTION 3.04 TAX FORMS. From time to time, upon notice from the
Company or upon any change in the Bank's circumstances from those reflected in
the Bank's Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or Form 4224 delivered annually
by the Bank to the Company, the Bank shall submit to the Company such
additional duly completed and signed copies of one or the other of such forms
(or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant
United States taxing authorities) as may be required under then current United
States laws or regulations to avoid United States withholding taxes on payments
in respect of all payments to be made to the Bank by the Company pursuant to
this Agreement and the Note.
SECTION 3.05 NET PAYMENTS. All payments to the Bank under this
Agreement and the Note shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and in
such amounts as may be necessary in order that all such payments (after
deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes,
levies, imposts, duties or other charges of whatsoever nature imposed on the
Bank or its Lending Office by any Governmental Person, other than any tax on or
measured by the overall net income of the Bank pursuant to the income tax laws
of any jurisdiction to which the Bank or its Lending Office is subject except
solely as a result of its execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement
(collectively, "TAXES")) shall not be less than the amounts otherwise specified
to be
21
paid under this Agreement. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable
to the Bank under this Section 3.05 submitted to the Company by the Bank shall
show the amount payable and in reasonable detail the calculations and methods
used to determine in good faith such amount and shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. Any amounts payable by the Company under this Section 3.05 with
respect to past payments shall be due within 15 days following receipt by the
Company of such certificate from the Bank; any such amounts payable with
respect to future payments shall be due concurrently with such future payments.
With respect to each deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes,
the Company shall promptly furnish to the Bank such certificates, receipts and
other documents as may be required (in the reasonable judgment of the Bank) to
establish any tax credit to which the Bank may be entitled. Without in any way
affecting any of its rights under this Section 3.05, the Bank agrees that, upon
its becoming aware that any of the present or future payments due it under this
Agreement would be subject to deduction for Taxes, it will notify the Company
in writing, and the Bank further agrees that it will use reasonable efforts not
disadvantageous to it (in its sole determination) in order to avoid or minimize
(as the case may be) the payment by the Company of any additional amounts for
Taxes pursuant to this Section 3.05.

ARTICLE V
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY
The Company represents and warrants to the Bank as follows:
SECTION 5.01 CORPORATE EXISTENCE AND POWER. Each of the Company,
Consumer Products and Revlon International is a corporation duly incorporated,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation, the Mortgagor is a corporation duly incorporated and validly
existing under the laws of Japan and each Obligor has full corporate power and
authority and all material Governmental Actions required to carry on its
business as it is now being conducted and is in good standing and duly licensed
or qualified to transact business in each other jurisdiction where the failure
so to be licensed or qualified would have a material adverse effect on the
business, financial condition or results of operations of such Person.
SECTION 5.02 CORPORATE AND GOVERNMENTAL ACTION; NO CONTRAVENTION. The
execution, delivery and performance by each of the Company, Consumer Products,
Revlon International and the Mortgagor of each Operative Agreement to which
such Person is a party are within such Person's corporate power and authority,
have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on its part, do not
and will not require any Governmental Actions other than any that have already
been obtained, and do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any
provision of any applicable Governmental Rule or of the articles or certificate
of incorporation or bylaws of such Person or of any material agreement,
judgment, injunction, order, decree or other material instrument binding upon
such Person or any of its Subsidiaries or result in the creation or imposition
of any Lien on any material asset of such Person or its Subsidiaries (other
than the Lien of the Operative Agreements).
24
SECTION 5.03 BINDING EFFECT. This Agreement and the other Operative
Agreements constitute the valid and binding obligations of each of the Company,
Consumer Products, Revlon International and the Mortgagor (as the case may be),
enforceable against such respective Person in accordance with their respective
terms, except as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization and similar laws affecting creditors' rights
generally and by general principles of equity. The pledge created (i) by the
Pledge Agreement on the Pledged Note, (ii) by the Stock Pledge Agreement on the
Pledged Stock and (iii) by the Mortgage on the Property each constitute a
perfected, first priority Lien, subject (in the case of the Property) only to
Permitted Liens.
SECTION 5.04 FINANCIAL CONDITION. There is no liability or obligation,
direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, of the Company other than obligations
of the Company under this Agreement or under the Note or under the Subsidiary
Guaranty and there is no creditor of the Company other than the Bank; provided,
however, that the Company may have incurred obligations and may have creditors
with respect to incidental organizational costs, costs of corporate
maintenance, taxes, forward and spot currency contract obligations related to
payments under this Agreement and any consideration that may be payable to
Mortgagor or Revlon International in connection with the grant of the Mortgage
and the Stock Pledge Agreement. There has been no material adverse change in
the financial condition or business of the Company since the date of its
incorporation.
SECTION 5.05 OWNERSHIP. The Company is a wholly-owned Subsidiary,
either directly or indirectly, of Consumer Products, and the Company has no
Subsidiaries.
SECTION 5.06 LITIGATION; COMPLIANCE. Except for that which is
disclosed in writing to the Bank on or before the Closing Date, (a) there is no
action, suit, proceeding, judgment, order, injunction or other legal restraint
pending, or to the knowledge of the Company threatened, against or affecting
the Company, Consumer Products, Revlon International or the Mortgagor before
any Governmental Person which could materially and adversely affect the
business, financial position or results of operations of such Person or which
in any manner questions the validity of any Operative Agreement and (b) neither
the Company nor the Mortgagor is in violation of, or in default under, any
applicable Governmental Rule, which violation or default would reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse affect on the business, financial position
or results of operation of such Person nor is any Obligor in violation of, or
in default under, any applicable Governmental Rule, which violation or default
would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the condition
(financial or otherwise) of the Company or Consumer Products or on the ability
of any Obligor to perform its obligations under any Operative Agreement to
which it is a party.
SECTION 5.07 ABSENCE OF DEFAULT IN OTHER AGREEMENTS. The Company is
not in default under any material agreement or material obligation to which it
is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound.
25
SECTION 5.08 COMPLIANCE WITH ERISA. The Company and each member of its
Controlled Group have fulfilled their obligations under the minimum funding
standards of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan (or, with respect to
a Multiemployer Plan have made all required contributions), have not incurred
any unpaid liability to the PBGC or to a Plan under Title IV of ERISA (other
than PBGC premiums payable in the ordinary course) and have taken no actions
which would result in the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section
7.01(g). No Reportable Event has occurred during the six-year period
immediately preceding the date hereof with respect to any Plan that resulted or
would be reasonably likely to result in any unpaid liability that would be
reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial
or otherwise) of the Company or Consumer Products or on the ability of any
Obligor to perform its obligations under the Operative Agreements to which it
is a party, and each Plan (other than any multiemployer health, welfare or
pension plan) has complied and has been administered in all material respects
in compliance with applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code. The amount by
which the present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan
maintained by the Company or any member of its Controlled Group (based on then
current assumptions used to fund such Plan), as of the last annual valuation
date applicable thereto, exceeds the value of the assets of each such Plan
allocable to such benefits, in the aggregate for all such Plans as to which
such present value of benefits exceeds the value of its assets (the "UNFUNDED
PENSION AMOUNT"), is less than $60,000,000), when aggregated with the Potential
Withdrawal Liability (as hereinafter defined). Neither the Company nor any
member of its Controlled Group has during the six-year period immediately
preceding the date hereof had a complete or partial withdrawal from any
Multiemployer Plan that resulted or would be reasonably likely to result in any
unpaid withdrawal liability under Section 4201 of ERISA that would be
reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial
or otherwise) of the Company or Consumer Products or on the ability of any
Obligor to perform its obligations under the Operative Agreements to which it
is a party, and the withdrawal liability under Section 4201 of ERISA to which
the Company or any member of its Controlled Group would become subject under
ERISA if the Company or any member of its Controlled Group were to withdraw
completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the most recent valuation date
applicable thereto (the "POTENTIAL WITHDRAWAL Liability") is not in excess of
$60,000,000, when aggregated with the Unfunded Pension Amount. Neither the
Company nor any member of its Controlled Group has received notice that any
Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvency where such Reorganization
or Insolvency has resulted, or would be reasonably likely to result in an
unpaid liability that would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse
effect on the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company or Consumer
Products or on the ability of any Obligor to perform its obligations under the
Operative Agreements to which it is a party nor, to the best knowledge of the
Company, is any such Reorganization or Insolvency reasonably likely to occur.
SECTION 5.09 TAXES. (a) The Company has filed all income tax returns
that it is required to file and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable
on such returns and all other taxes and assessments payable by it, to the
extent the same have become due and payable, other than those being contested
in good faith and by appropriate proceedings diligently pursued and for which
adequate reserves have been established on the books of the Company.
26
(b) There is no withholding or other Tax (other than the Bank's Taxes
and any tax imposed or required to be withheld under Section 884 of the Code)
imposed by the United States of America or any political sub-division or any
taxing or other agency applicable to any payment to be made by the Company
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any document or instrument provided
for under this Agreement or to be imposed on or by virtue of the execution,
delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement or any document or
instrument provided for under this Agreement.
SECTION 5.10 TITLE. The Company has good title to the Pledged Note
free and clear of all Liens except Liens created by the Operative Agreements.
Revlon International has good title to the Pledged Stock or has transferred
title thereto to a Qualified Subsidiary and such Qualified Subsidiary has
agreed in writing with the Bank to be bound by all of the terms of the Stock
Pledge Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 9 thereof and the
Qualified Subsidiary has good title to the Pledged Stock, free and clear of all
Liens except Liens created by the Operative Agreements. The Mortgagor has good
title to the Property free and clear of all Liens except the Lien of the
Mortgage and Permitted Liens.
SECTION 5.11 CERTAIN REGULATIONS. The Company is not subject to
regulation under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, the Federal
Power Act, the Interstate Commerce Act or the Investment Company Act of 1940 or
any federal or state Governmental Rule limiting its ability to incur
Indebtedness.
SECTION 5.12 NO MARGIN STOCK. No part of the proceeds of the Loan will
be used directly or indirectly for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any
"margin stock" within the meaning of Regulation G, T, U or X promulgated by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Neither the Company nor any
of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important
activities, in the business of extending, or arranging for, credit for the
purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin stock.
SECTION 5.13 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. To the best knowledge of the
Company, there do not exist on, under or surrounding the Property Hazardous
Materials in amounts which could have a material adverse effect on the value of
the Property.
SECTION 5.14 FULL DISCLOSURE. There is no fact known to the Company
(other than matters of a general economic nature) which the Company has not
disclosed in writing to the Bank on or prior to the Closing Date and which has
or as far as the Company can now reasonably foresee is reasonably likely to
have a material adverse effect on the ability of any of the Company, Consumer
Products, Revlon International or the Mortgagor to perform each Operative
Agreement to which such Person is a party or of the Company to pay the
principal of and the interest on the Loan and any Bank Charges.

related thereto, shall have the effect of changing in any respect the financial
covenants contained in Section 13.1 of the New Consumer Products Credit
Agreement (or any definition used therein), as
31
in effect on the Closing Date, then the provisions of this Section 6.11 shall
correspondingly be revised.

SECTION 8.02 NO WAIVERS; REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. No failure or delay by
the Bank in exercising any remedy, right, power or privilege under this
Agreement or any other Operative Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such
remedy, right, power or privilege nor shall any single or partial exercise of
such remedy, right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise
of such remedy, right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other remedy,
right, power or privilege. No remedy, right, power or privilege conferred upon
or reserved to the Bank by this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement is
intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, right, power or privilege
provided or permitted by this Agreement, by such other Operative Agreement or
by law, but each shall be cumulative and in addition to every other remedy,
right, power or privilege so provided or permitted and each may be exercised
concurrently or independently from time to time and as often as may be deemed
expedient by the Bank.

Agreement and the other Operative Agreements may not be amended, supplemented,
modified, novated or waived, or any departure by the Company or the other
Obligors from such terms and provisions consented to, except by an instrument
in writing signed by the Bank and the Company. Any amendment, supplement,
modification, novation, waiver or consent shall be for such period and subject
to such conditions as shall be specified in the written instrument effecting
the same, and any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the sole purpose for which given.

reimburse and shall indemnify and hold the Bank harmless from and against any
present or future claim or liability for any registration, stamp, documentary
or other similar taxes or charges and any penalties or interest with respect to
such taxes or charges which might be imposed by any jurisdiction in which this
Agreement, the Note or any other Operative Agreement is enforced or sought to
be enforced on or in connection with the execution, delivery, performance,
filing, registration or enforcement (or attempted enforcement) of, or any
transaction in connection with, this Agreement, the Note and the other
Operative Agreements.
(b) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are

fees, taxes and other charges payable in connection with recording or filing of
instruments and documents described in this Agreement, the Note and the other
Operative Agreements and (iii) all other reasonable fees, costs and expenses in
connection with the preparation, amendment, negotiation, execution and delivery

hold the Bank harmless, from and against any and all costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) of enforcing or preserving
(including in any workout, bankruptcy or similar formal or informal proceeding)
any rights created by this Agreement, the Note, the other Operative Agreements
and all other documents executed in connection with this Agreement, provided
however, in the case of any litigation or other proceeding, such costs and
expenses of the Bank shall be payable by the Company only if the Bank prevails
in such litigation or proceeding.
(d) The Company shall pay for or reimburse, and shall indemnify and
hold the Bank and each of its officers, directors, shareholders, employees,
agents, attorneys-in-fact and Affiliates harmless, from and against any and all
losses, liabilities, penalties, actions, suits, judgments, demands, damages,
costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses and the
allocated costs for services of in-house counsel) of any nature arising from or
relating to the transactions contemplated, and the use of funds pursuant to,
this Agreement or the Note except for any losses, liabilities, penalties,
actions, suits, judgments, demands, damages, costs and expenses resulting from
the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such indemnified person.
(e) The agreements contained in this Section 8.04 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of the Note.
SECTION 8.05 BINDING EFFECT; ASSIGNMENT. (a) This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of each party to this Agreement and their
respective successors and assigns. Except as specifically permitted in this
Agreement, the Company shall not have the right to assign any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement.
37
(b) The Bank may sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant
participations in all or any part of, or any interests in, the Bank's rights
and benefits under this Agreement, the Note and the other Operative Agreements
to any Person having a place of business in the United States or that is
otherwise able to provide to the Company a completed Internal Revenue Service
Form 1001 or Form 4224. The Bank may, in connection with any actual or proposed
sale, assignment, transfer or participation, disclose to the actual or proposed
purchaser, assignee, transferee or participant, any information relating to the
Loan, the Company or any other Obligor and the business of any such Person;
provided that such proposed purchaser, assignee, transferee or participant
shall agree to keep confidential all such information other than any of such
information that is then publicly available or any information that such Person
is required to disclose under applicable Governmental Rules. Any transferee
shall have all the rights of the Bank hereunder and all references in this
Agreement, the Note and the other Operative Agreements to the Bank shall, with
respect to the period after such transfer and for the purposes of such transfer
(except where the context otherwise requires or indicates), be construed as
references to the Bank and its transferee or transferees or, in the case of a
transfer of the whole of the rights and benefits of the Bank, to its transferee
or transferees alone.
SECTION 8.06 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be signed in any number
of counterparts with the same effect as if the signatures to all such
counterparts were upon the same instrument, and all such counterparts shall
constitute but one instrument. Complete sets of executed counterparts shall be
delivered to each of the Company and the Bank.
SECTION 8.07 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement and the Note and the rights
and duties of the parties to this Agreement and the Note shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California applicable
to contracts made and performed within the State of California.
SECTION 8.08 JUDGMENT CURRENCY. If for the purposes of obtaining or
enforcing a judgment in any court with respect to any obligation of the Company
under this Agreement or under the Note it becomes necessary to convert any
amount due under this Agreement or the Note in one currency (the "FIRST
CURRENCY") into another currency (the "SECOND CURRENCY") then such conversion
shall be made at the buying spot rate of exchange for which the Bank could
purchase the first currency with the second currency at the close of business
on the day before the day on which the judgment is given at the place where
such court is located. If there is a change in such rate of exchange prevailing
between the day before the day on which the judgment is given and the date of
payment of such judgment, the Company agrees to pay such additional amounts (if
any) as may be necessary to insure that the amount paid on such date is the
amount in the second currency which, when converted into the first currency at
such rate of exchange in effect on the date of payment, is the amount then due
under this Agreement or under the Note in the first currency. Any amount due
from the Company under this Section 8.08 will be due as a separate debt in Yen
and shall not be affected by or merged into any judgment being obtained for any
other sums due under or in respect of this Agreement or the Note. In no event,
however, shall the Company be required
38
to pay more in the first currency at such rate of exchange when payment is made
than the amount of the first currency stated to be due under this Agreement or
the Note, so that in any event the Company's obligations under this Agreement
or the Note will be effectively maintained as obligations in the first
currency.
SECTION 8.09 AGREEMENT SUPERSEDES. This Agreement supersedes all prior
agreements, written or oral, among the parties with respect to the subject
matter of this Agreement.
SECTION 8.10 HEADINGS; TABLE OF CONTENTS. The article, section and
subsection headings and the table of contents to this Agreement are inserted
for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part of this
Agreement.
SECTION 8.11 WAIVER OF NOTICE; TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. The Company,
by executing this Agreement, waives to the extent permitted by law, any right
it might otherwise have to require notice or acceptance by any other Person of
its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement and the Note which are
unconditional and absolute and further waives diligence, presentment, demand of
payment, protest or notice with respect to any of the obligations of the
Company under this Agreement and the Note or with respect to any action under
Section 7.01 and all other notices and demands whatsoever, except as
specifically provided for in this Agreement. If this Agreement shall be
terminated in whole or in part by operation of law or for any reason whatsoever
other than in accordance with its terms, the Company shall nevertheless be
obligated to pay amounts equal to amounts payable by it at the time such
amounts would have become due and payable by it in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement and the Note had this Agreement not been so terminated but the
Company had elected to prepay the Note at such time.
SECTION 8.12 SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. All
representations and warranties made in this Agreement and in any certificate or
other document delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement and
in the Operative Agreements shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and such certificate or other document and shall be deemed to be made
on the Closing Date with respect to the facts and circumstances then existing,
and in addition, all of the representations and warranties shall survive the
Closing Date, shall be continuing and shall be deemed to be made on the first
day of each Interest Period.
SECTION 8.13 SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Agreement or the Note
or any other Operative Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions of this Agreement or the Note, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 8.14 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND SERVICE OF PROCESS. ALL
JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST THE COMPANY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
THIS AGREEMENT OR
39
ANY OTHER OPERATIVE AGREEMENT OR ANY LOAN OBLIGATION MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY
STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA,
AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE COMPANY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF
AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE
NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS AND WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF
FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY JUDGMENT
RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, SUCH OTHER OPERATIVE
AGREEMENT OR SUCH LOAN OBLIGATION. The Company hereby agrees that service of
process sufficient for personal jurisdiction in any action against the Company
in the State of California may be made by registered or certified mail, return
receipt requested, to the Company at its address provided in Section 8.01, and
the Company hereby acknowledges that such service shall be effective and
binding in every respect. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve
process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of the
Bank to bring proceedings against the Company in the courts of any other
jurisdiction.
SECTION 8.15 WAIVER OF JURY TRIALS. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS
AGREEMENT HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY
CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF
THE OTHER OPERATIVE AGREEMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE
SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION OR THE LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP
THAT IS HEREBY ESTABLISHED. The scope of this waiver is intended to be
all-encompassing of any and all disputes that may be filed in any court and
that relate to the subject matter of this transaction, including without

that each will continue to rely on this waiver in their related future
dealings. Each party hereto further warrants and represents that it has
reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel and that it knowingly and
voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with legal
counsel. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER
ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS,
RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER
OPERATIVE AGREEMENT OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE
LOAN MADE HEREUNDER. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as
a written consent to a trial by the court.
