Dear Alan:
This letter agreement and release (the "Agreement") confirms the agreement entered into between you and the Company regarding the termination of your employment with the Company, including resignation of your positions as officer and/or director of the Company and all its subsidiaries, effective October 1, 2013 (the "Termination Date"), and explains the package of separation pay and benefits that has been specially developed for you in full bargained for release and settlement of any and all claims that you have presently, may have or have had in the past arising from your employment with and termination of your employment from the Company up to and including the Effective Date of this Agreement. Further, it is understood that this Agreement, with its package of separation pay and benefits, is offered at the sole discretion of the Company and requires that you fulfill your obligations in a professional manner as required by the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, the term the “Company” includes Revlon Consumer Products Corporation and any of its past, present or future parent and subsidiary corporations, affiliates, divisions, successors and assigns (whether or not incorporated). It is understood that you and the Company are entering into this Agreement knowingly and voluntarily, for the good and sufficient mutual consideration set forth herein.

1.CONSIDERATION IN SETTLEMENT. Accordingly, if you execute (and do not revoke) this Agreement and fully comply with its terms and conditions:

a)    SEVERANCE PAY. You will receive severance pay, less applicable withholdings and deductions, for a total of 24 months (the “Severance Period”), commencing on October 2, 2013 and terminating on October 1, 2015. Your severance pay will be at your base rate of pay in effect on your Termination Date (which was $930,589 per annum) and will be payable bi-weekly starting on the Termination Date. During the Severance Period, your severance payments will not be reduced by any cash compensation paid or payable or any non-cash compensation paid or payable in lieu of cash compensation earned by you from other employment or consultancy during the first 16 months of the Severance Period and will be reduced by any such cash compensation or non-cash compensation during the final 8 months of the Severance Period. Notwithstanding the above, due to your role and responsibilities with the Company, you may be restricted from undertaking employment with a competitor of the Company under the terms of the Employee Agreement as to Confidentiality and Non-Competition and you must immediately advise the Company if you are considering undertaking such employment (see also Section 15, below).

b)     CONTINUATION OF MEDICAL, DENTAL AND/OR VISION INSURANCE, FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT AND OTHER BENEFITS.





i)If you, your spouse and your covered dependants participated in the Medical, Dental and Vision Care programs (the "Benefit Programs") as of the Termination Date, you, your spouse and your covered dependants will be permitted to continue such participation in the Benefits Programs as provided by federal law ("COBRA") for the Severance Period by continuing to pay premiums to the Company at the contribution level in effect for active employees until the earliest to occur of (1) the end of the Severance Period or (2) when you become covered by medical, dental and/or vision plans of another employer (you may be asked to submit evidence of non-coverage as the Company may request from time to time).
ii)If you are currently contributing to a Health Care Flexible Spending Account ("HCFSA"), you will be permitted to continue making contributions after your Termination Date only if you elect continuation of HCFSA under COBRA on an after-tax basis until December 31, 2013, subject to the terms and conditions of the HCFSA program. If you are currently contributing to a Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account ("DCFSA"), you will be permitted to continue such contributions after your Termination Date until the earlier to occur of the last day of the Severance Period or December 31, 2013, subject to the terms and conditions of the DCFSA program. You will be eligible to receive reimbursement for any eligible expenses incurred through your last day of HCFSA and DCFSA participation, subject to your filing of claims within the time requirements of the programs.
iii)Long-term disability insurance will cease on your Termination Date. You may be eligible to convert this coverage to an individual policy within 31 days of your Termination Date.
iv)Your coverage under the Employee Assistance Program will cease upon your Termination Date. You may continue the coverage at COBRA rates by enrolling under COBRA.

c)CONTINUATION OF LIFE / AD&D INSURANCE. Your Basic Life Insurance coverage under the Revlon Life Insurance Program (the “Insurance Program”) will be continued at no cost to you during the Severance Period. In addition, you can continue any Supplemental Life, Accidental Death and Dismemberment, Dependent Life and/or Dependent Accidental Death and Dismemberment insurance coverage previously elected by you under the Insurance Program at your expense during the Severance Period. After the expiration of the Severance Period, you will be advised of any options you may have to convert the insurance coverages described above to an individual policy, subject to any underwriting requirements, at your own expense, and information regarding such conversion options will be provided to you at that time.

d)CONTINUATION OF OTHER FRINGE BENEFITS. You will continue to be eligible to participate in Revlon’s Executive Financial Counseling and Tax Preparation Program, as from time to time in effect, or such program or programs, if any as may succeed it, and to receive a car allowance at the rate of $15,000 per annum, under the car allowance program as in effect from time to time, or such program or programs, if any, as may succeed it, at no cost to you during the Severance Period.

e)2013 BONUS PLAN. You will be eligible for payment of any incentive bonus at target (100% of base salary) subject to adjustment for actual funding of the Bonus Plan for 2013 as established by the Compensation Committee with respect to your service with the Company in 2013 payable on or prior to March 15, 2014. Your bonus with respect to 2013 shall be prorated

2



for the actual number of days of active employment during 2013 (such proration shall be 75%) and shall be payable (i) if and to the extent bonuses are payable to executives under the Bonus Plan for 2013 upon achievement of the objectives set for that year and not including any discretionary bonus amounts which may otherwise be payable to other executives despite non-achievement of bonus objectives for 2013 and (ii) on the date bonuses would otherwise be payable to executives under the Bonus Plan, but in no event later than March 15, 2014.

f)LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN (“LTIP”). The following LTIP grants which would otherwise be forfeited since you will not remain employed through the payment date will be paid to you on the regular payment date. The actual amount payable in respect of the 2013 Transitional LTIP listed below is subject to achievement of objectives set for the 2013 performance periods and otherwise subject to the terms of the Plan.

i)Grants payable on or prior to March 15, 2014:
(1)    2011 LTIP, 3rd Payment: $392,000
(2)    2012 LTIP, 2nd Payment: $420,000
(3)    2013 Transitional LTIP, 1st Payment: $500,000 at target (subject to adjustment based on actual performance for 2013, and pro rated (such proration shall be 75%) for the period of employment during 2013)
ii)Grants payable in March, 2015:
(1)     2012 LTIP, 3rd Payment: $420,000
        
g)OUTPLACEMENT. You will be eligible to receive outplacement and career transition services provided by the Ayers Group as determined by the Company and at the Company's expense. There will be no pay in lieu of outplacement.

h)NON-QUALIFIED EXCESS SAVINGS PLAN AND PENSION EQUALIZATION PLAN (“PEP”) PAYMENTS. You will receive payment of your account balance in the Excess Savings Plan on or about April 1, 2014 (as of October 10, 2013 that amount was approximately $184,029 which will vary upon investment returns through the payment date). Additionally, you will receive a payment of your account balance under the PEP of approximately $85,429 on or about April 1, 2014 (which will vary based upon interest rates pursuant to the PEP).

1.VACATION. As a result of the Company’s standard payroll processing you have been paid for the full week of September 30, 2013, which results in your receiving 4 days of extra pay given your Termination Date of October 1, 2013. As a result you will receive a check for 6 instead of 10 remaining 2013 vacation days, less applicable withholdings and deductions, upon termination of your employment with the Company.

2.INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 409A. 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, including this Agreement, in amounts, at times and in a manner that minimizes taxes,

3



interest or penalties as a result of Section 409A, including any required withholdings, and you agree to cooperate with the Company in such actions. Because you are 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 you under this Agreement or applicable plan, as the case may be, including without limitation the Pension Equalization Plan, upon a "separation of service," as such term is defined under Section 409A, until six (6) months after your date of separation from service or, if earlier, the date of your death. Upon expiration of the six-month period, or, if earlier, the date of your death, the Company shall make a payment to you (or your beneficiary or estate, if applicable) equal to the sum of all payments that would have been paid to you from the date of separation from service through the end of the six (6) month period had you not been a "specified employee", and thereafter the Company will make all the payments at the times specified in this Agreement or applicable plan, as the case may be. In addition, the Company and you agree that, for purposes of this Agreement, termination of employment (or any variation thereof) will satisfy all of the requirements of "separation from service" as defined under Section 409A. For purposes of this Agreement, the right to a series of installment payments, such as salary continuation or severance payments, shall be treated as the right to a series of separate payments and shall not be treated as a right to a single payment. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Code" shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, including all final regulations promulgated thereunder, and any reference to a particular section of the Code shall include any provision that modifies, replaces or supersedes such section. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall provide you with payments attributable to Severance Pay, Benefit Programs, Insurance Program, Fringe Benefit Programs and Bonus referred to above, respectively, in Sections 1.a., 1.b., 1.c., 1.d. and 1.e., immediately from and after the Effective Date through April 1, 2014 if and to the extent the taxable amounts of any such payments that do not qualify for as a “short-term deferral” within the meaning of Tres. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) do not exceed $510,000. Also, the Company shall provide you with Outplacement referred to above in Section 1.g. during the Severance Period. Additionally, the Company shall provide you the three LTIP grant payments referred to above in Section 1.f.i as soon as administratively practical after April 1, 2014, but in no event later than April 15, 2014. The Company shall pay your Excess Savings Plan and PEP account balances in accordance with the terms of those plans.

3.EMPLOYEE ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. You acknowledge and agree that (i) you have not filed, caused to be filed, or presently are a party to any claim against Releasees (defined in Section 6 below); (ii) you have been paid and/or have received all compensation, wages, bonuses, and/or commissions to which you may be entitled and, if applicable, have reported all hours worked for the Company; (iii) you have been granted any leave to which you were entitled under the Family and Medical Leave Act and/or related state or local leave or disability accommodation laws; (iv) you have no known workplace injuries or occupational diseases; (v) all of the Company's decisions regarding your pay and benefits through the Termination Date were not discriminatory based on age, disability, race, color, sex, religion, national origin or any other classification protected by law; (vi) the Company has completely and satisfactorily responded to, investigated and concluded any internal complaints (e.g., any breach of contract, diversion, antitrust or fraud, discrimination or retaliation matters or claims), allegations, matters and issues, if any, you may have ever raised; (vii) you have no outstanding internal allegations, matters and issues that you have not brought to the Company's attention; and (viii) you have not been retaliated against for reporting any allegations of wrongdoing by any Releasees, including but not limited to the Company and its officers, including

4.EMPLOYMENT VERIFICATION. You and the Company agree that any inquiries received by the Company regarding your employment with the Company and the cessation thereof will be referred to and handled by the Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer. You agree to refer all inquiries from prospective employers to the Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer and not to any other individual employed by or affiliated with the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may (but only after the Effective Date as defined in Section 13, below) seek recommendations from individual members of the Company’s Board of Directors and the Company’s executive officers (acting in their personal capacity and not on behalf of the Company, provided that you expressly state in your request for any such recommendation that you are seeking it from them in their personal capacity and not on behalf of the Company), who nevertheless shall have no obligation to provide any reference.
