                              AMENDED AND RESTATED
                                 LOAN AGREEMENT


                  THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT, dated as of March
26, 2002, (the or this "Agreement") among DEL LABORATORIES, INC., a Delaware
corporation (as further defined in Section 6, the "Company"), Del
Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("DPI"), Parfums Schiaparelli,
Inc., a New York corporation ("Parfums"), Royce & Rader, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Royce"), 565 Broad Hollow Realty Corp., a New York corporation
("Broad"), and the lender named in Schedule I hereto (and with such other
lenders as may become parties hereto in accordance with the terms hereof,
collectively, the "Lenders").

                  WHEREAS, Jackson National Life Insurance Company and Jackson
National Life Insurance Company of Michigan, as lenders (the "Original Lenders")
and the Company are parties to that certain Loan Agreement dated as of May 26,
1993, as amended by the First Amendment to Loan Agreement dated as of March 31,
1997, the Second Amendment to Loan Agreement dated as of December 30, 1998, and
the Third Amendment to Loan Agreement dated as of December 22, 1999 and as
restated and amended by the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated February
25, 2000 (as so amended and amended and restated, the "Existing Loan
Agreement"), pursuant to which the Original Lenders made certain loans to the
Company and the Company issued to the Original Lenders its Notes (as defined in
the Existing Loan Agreement) (the "Existing Notes");

                  WHEREAS, Jackson National Life Insurance Company, as the
successor in interest to Jackson National Life Insurance Company of Michigan, is
the holder of 100% of the issued and outstanding Existing Notes;

                  WHEREAS, the Company and the Lenders now desire to amend and
restate the Existing Loan Agreement to, among other things, (i) provide for the
release of the Collateral (as defined herein) securing the obligations
represented by the Notes, (ii) amend certain covenants and related definitions,
and (iii) make certain other changes to the Existing Loan Agreement.

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein
contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

         SECTION 1. EXHIBITS AND SECTION REFERENCES. This Agreement includes the
attached Schedule I and Exhibits A through D. Section numbers herein that are
preceded by a capital letter refer to sections in the Exhibit designated by that
letter.




<PAGE>


         SECTION 2. LOANS. Each Lender has made a loan to the Company in the
amount set forth opposite such Lender's name in Schedule I (reduced to give
effect to any mandatory prepayments required pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof). On
the Restatement Effective Date, as defined below, the Company will amend and
restate the Existing Notes in the form of Exhibit A to this Agreement to
evidence its promise to repay the current outstanding principal amount of the
loans with interest. Reference in this Agreement to the "Notes" shall be a
reference to the Existing Notes as amended and restated in the form of Exhibit
A, or any Note or Notes delivered in substitution or exchange therefor pursuant
to the provisions of this Agreement. The Company will issue such amended and
restated Notes to the Lenders upon surrender by them of the Existing Notes for
cancellation by the Company. The aggregate principal amount of loans originally
made pursuant to this Agreement was $40,000,000, but the loan by each Lender is
a separate and several loan. As of the Restatement Effective Date, the aggregate
principal amount of loans outstanding is $36,000,000. To induce each Lender to
enter into this Agreement and to amend and restate its Existing Notes, the
Company makes the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit B, Part
One, and the covenants and agreements hereinafter stated. Each Lender makes the
representation set forth in Exhibit B, Part Two.

         SECTION 3. EFFECTIVENESS OF AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT. The terms and
provisions of this Agreement shall become effective (the "Restatement Effective
Date") on such date upon which (i) the Lenders shall have received an amendment
fee from the Company in the amount of $90,000, which amendment fee shall be
fully earned upon the execution of this Agreement, and (ii) each of the closing
conditions listed on Exhibit C hereto shall have been satisfied in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders.

         SECTION 4. PREPAYMENT OF NOTES; MATURITY. The Company will make
required, and may make optional, prepayments of the principal of the Notes as
hereinafter provided. The principal balance of the Notes not otherwise prepaid,
together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and other applicable fees
and charges, shall be due in full on May 31, 2005.

         SECTION 4.1. REQUIRED PREPAYMENTS. So long as any of the Notes shall be
outstanding, there shall become due and payable, and the Company will prepay,
the following aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or the unpaid balances
thereof) on the dates indicated (each, a "Mandatory Prepayment Date"):

                  May 31, 2002                       $4,000,000
                  May 31, 2003                       $8,000,000
                  May 31, 2004                       $8,000,000

without prepayment charge, whether or not any optional prepayment has been or is
being made pursuant to Section 4.2 (subject to the next proviso), 4.3 or 4.4;
provided that, in the event that any prepayment shall have been made pursuant to
Section 4.3 or 4.4 (a "Special Prepayment"), then with respect to all subsequent
prepayments pursuant to this Section 4.1 the aggregate principal amount of Notes
to be prepaid on each subsequent Mandatory Prepayment Date shall be an amount
equal to the product of (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be
prepaid on such Mandatory Prepayment Date (or the amount to which such number
shall have been theretofore reduced pursuant to this proviso by reason of a
prior Special Prepayment), times (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall
be the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding immediately after
such Special Prepayment (before giving effect to any prepayment pursuant to
Section 4.2 or this Section 4.1 being made on the same day) and the denominator
of which shall be the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding
immediately prior to such Special Prepayment (before giving effect to any
prepayment pursuant to Section 4.2 or this Section 4.1 being made on the same
day).



                                      -2-
<PAGE>


         SECTION 4.2. OPTIONAL PREPAYMENTS. The Company, upon not less than 30
or more than 60 days' prior written notice of the date and amount of optional
prepayment to the holders of the Notes, may prepay at any time all or from time
to time any part (in a multiple of $100,000) of the principal of the Notes, upon
payment of a prepayment charge equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the sum of
the present values, discounted semi-annually in accordance with accepted
financial practice at a rate per annum equal to the Treasury Yield plus
seventy-five hundredths percent (.75%), of each of (i) all remaining scheduled
payments and prepayments (whether at maturity or pursuant to Section 4.1) of the
principal amount to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 4.2 (any partial
prepayment pursuant to this Section 4.2 being deemed applied in satisfaction of
such scheduled payments and prepayments in inverse chronological order of their
due dates) plus (ii) all remaining payments of interest payable on such
principal amount according to the terms of the Notes to and including maturity
or the dates of such scheduled prepayments, as the case may be (assuming each
payment referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above is made when due), over (b)
the principal amount to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 4.2.

         SECTION 4.3. SPECIAL PREPAYMENT FOLLOWING RESTRICTED ASSET SALE. In the
event that the Company proposes to enter into a transaction or series of
transactions not permitted by Section 5.17 or 5.18 (a "Restricted Asset Sale"),
the Company shall, not less than 30 nor more than 90 days prior to such
Restricted Asset Sale, give each holder of any Notes written notice thereof by
telecopy confirmed by telephone in accordance with Section 8, such notice to
describe the proposed Restricted Asset Sale and the amount of the expected
proceeds thereof and request the consent of the holder or holders of the Notes
thereto. The Company may proceed with the Restricted Asset Sale only if the
holder or holders of at least 66-2/3% of the unpaid principal amount of the
Notes then outstanding consent in writing thereto.

         Not more than 190 days following the first day on which the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries receives any proceeds from an approved Restricted Asset
Sale (the "Asset Sale Closing Date"), the Company shall give each holder of any
Notes a written notice (the "Offer Notice") by telecopy confirmed by telephone
in accordance with Section 8 containing the Company's unconditional and
irrevocable offer to prepay, on a date specified therein (the "Special
Prepayment Date"), which date shall be not less than 45 nor more than 60 days
following the date on which such notice is given, a principal amount of the
Notes equal to the sum of (a) 100% of the proceeds received by the Company and
its Subsidiaries from all sales of assets which individually or in the aggregate
disposed of a Substantial Part of the assets of the Company or a Subsidiary,
less (b) the amount of such proceeds which were reinvested by the Company within
180 days following their receipt in assets substantially similar to those assets
sold, up to the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes, at the Prepayment
Price (as defined in Section 4.5) plus interest accrued to and including the
Special Prepayment Date. If the Company shall not within 30 days of the giving
of such notice have received a written acceptance (which may be by telecopy or
other means of telecommunication) of such offer by such holder, such offer shall
be deemed to have been rejected by such holder, and the Company shall have no
further obligation to prepay the Notes of such holder as a consequence of such
Restricted Asset Sale.



                                      -3-
<PAGE>


         SECTION 4.4. SPECIAL PREPAYMENT UPON CHANGE OF CONTROL. In the event of
a Change of Control, the Company shall not less than 15 days prior to such event
(or, if prior notice is not possible, immediately following the Company's
becoming aware of such Change of Control) give to each holder of any Notes
written notice thereof by telecopy confirmed by telephone in accordance with
Section 8, such notice to contain the Company's unconditional and irrevocable
offer to prepay, on a date specified therein (the "Special Prepayment Date"),
which date shall be not less than 60 nor more than 90 days following the date on
which such notice is given, all but not less than all the Notes held by such
holder, at the Prepayment Price (as defined in Section 4.5) plus interest
accrued to and including the Special Prepayment Date. If the Company shall not
within 30 days of the giving of such notice have received a written acceptance
(which may be by telecopy or other means of telecommunication) of such offer by
such holder, such offer shall be deemed to have been rejected by such holder,
and the Company shall have no further obligation to prepay the Notes of such
holder and such holder shall be deemed to have consented to the Change of
Control, as the case may be.

         SECTION 4.5. MANNER OF MAKING SPECIAL PREPAYMENTS. In the case of any
acceptance of an offer to prepay Notes pursuant to Section 4.3 or Section 4.4,
the Company shall give a further written notice (a "Prepayment Notice") with
respect to such prepayment to each holder accepting the offer not more than 20
days nor less than 10 days prior to the Special Prepayment Date (as defined in
Section 4.3 or 4.4, as applicable) specifying (1) the Special Prepayment Date,
(2) the accrued interest to be paid to such holder, (3) the prepayment charge
component of the Prepayment Price (assuming, for purposes of such notice only,
that the applicable prepayment charge will be that which would be applicable if
the Notes were being prepaid on the date of such notice, it being understood,
however, that the actual prepayment charge to be paid may vary from the amount
specified in such notice), (4) the total amount of the Prepayment Price to be
paid to such holder (calculated using the same assumption set forth in the
foregoing clause (3)), and (5) the total aggregate principal amount of all Notes
(including those of such holder) to be prepaid by the Company. On the Special
Prepayment Date, the Company shall prepay the Notes held by such holder at the
Prepayment Price plus accrued interest to and including the Special Prepayment
Date.

         The term "Prepayment Price" shall mean, with respect to any Notes to be
prepaid pursuant to Section 4.3 or 4.4, an amount equal to the sum of (a) either
(i) in the case of a prepayment made pursuant to Section 4.3, the amount
specified in the Offer Notice, or (ii) in the case of a prepayment made pursuant
to Section 4.4, the entire unpaid principal amount of such Notes, plus (b) a
prepayment charge equal to 50% of the prepayment charge which would be payable
under Section 4.2, if such Notes were being prepaid on the Special Prepayment
Date pursuant to Section 4.2.

         For purposes of this Section 4, any prepayment pursuant to Section 4.3
shall be deemed to have preceded any prepayment pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2
occurring on the same day.



                                      -4-
<PAGE>


         SECTION 4.6. OBLIGATION TO PREPAY AFTER NOTICE. The principal amount of
the Notes designated for prepayment in any notice of optional prepayment given
pursuant to Section 4.2 or in any Prepayment Notice given pursuant to Section
4.3 or 4.4 shall become due and payable on the date fixed for prepayment,
together with accrued interest and the amount of any prepayment charge.

         SECTION 4.7. APPLICATION OF PREPAYMENTS. Each prepayment pursuant to
Section 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 of less than the entire unpaid amount of all outstanding
Notes shall be applied (in multiples of $1,000) pro rata (as nearly as may be,
with adjustments to equalize for prior prepayments) to all outstanding Notes
according to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof.

         SECTION 4.8. PRESENTATION OR SURRENDER OF NOTES. Subject to the second
paragraph of Section 8, the Company may, as a condition to making any prepayment
of a Note, require the holder thereof to present such Note, at the place
specified in the Note for payment of the principal thereof, for notation thereon
of the amount and date of such prepayment or, if such Note is prepaid in full,
to surrender the same at such price.

         SECTION 4.9. NOTE PURCHASE PROHIBITION. Except as permitted by Section
9, the Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary or Affiliate to,
directly or indirectly acquire any Note, by purchase or prepayment or otherwise,
except by way of payment or prepayment thereof by the Company or such Subsidiary
or Affiliate in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and of this
Agreement.

         SECTION 5. COVENANTS So long as any amount shall remain outstanding
under the Notes, the Company and each Guarantor will, unless the Required
Lenders shall otherwise consent in writing:

         SECTION 5.1. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, ETC. Comply, and cause each
Subsidiary of the Company or any Guarantor to comply, in all material respects
with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders, where the failure to so
comply would be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Change.

         SECTION 5.2. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. Furnish to the Lenders:

                  (A) ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. As soon as available and in

                  statements to be prepared in accordance with GAAP.

presentment, demand, protest or other requirements of any kind, all of which are
hereby expressly waived by the Company, or (ii) upon occurrence of any other
Event of Default, the holder or holders of at least 66-2/3% of the unpaid
principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding (subject to the last
paragraph of Section 9) may, by written notice to the Company, declare all of
the Notes to be, and the same shall forthwith become due and payable, together
with accrued interest thereon which shall be deemed matured and, to the extent
permitted by law, an amount equal to 50% of the prepayment charge that would be

4.2, provided that, during the existence of an Event of Default described in

written notice to the Company, declare such Note to be, and the same shall
forthwith become, due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon which
shall be deemed matured and, to the extent permitted by law, an amount equal to

shall be deemed matured and, to the extent permitted by law, an amount equal to
50% of the prepayment charge that would be payable if the Company were prepaying
the Notes at the time pursuant to Section 4.2. Nevertheless, if at any time
after acceleration of the maturity of any Note or Notes, the Company shall pay
all arrears of interest and all payments on account of the principal and
prepayment charge which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration
(with interest on principal and prepayment charge and, to the extent permitted
by law, on overdue interest, at the rate specified in the Notes) and all Events
of Default (other than non-payment of principal of and accrued interest on the
Notes, an amount equal to prepayment charges as aforesaid, due and payable
solely by virtue of acceleration) shall be remedied or waived pursuant to
Section 9, then the holder or holders of at least 66-2/3% of the unpaid
principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding (subject to the last
paragraph of Section 9) by written notice to the Company, may rescind and annul
the acceleration and its consequences; but such action shall not affect any
subsequent Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Note and notwithstanding any provision hereof or of the Notes to the contrary,
it will pay all sums becoming due thereon for principal, prepayment charge and
interest to such Lender in the manner provided for the Lender in Schedule I or
in such other manner as such Lender may designate to the Company in writing,
without presentation of the Notes. Each Lender agrees that if it sells or
transfers any Note held by it, (i) such sale shall be made in compliance with
all applicable Federal and state securities laws, (ii) prior to such disposition
it will make a notation thereon of all principal payments previously made, and
(iii) it will not sell or transfer a Note to any Competitor. The Company agrees
that the provisions of this paragraph shall inure to the benefit of any other
institutional holder of any such Note which shall have agreed to comply with the
requirements of this paragraph.

         SECTION 9. FIRST OFFER UPON TRANSFER OF NOTES. In the event that any
holder of a Note (a "Proposed Transferor") should wish to transfer its Note, or
any portion thereof, to another Person in a transaction which would result in
there being more than four holders of the Notes, the Proposed Transferor shall,
before making such transfer, deliver to the Company an offer (the "Offer") to
sell to the Company the Proposed Transferor's Note, or such portion of the Note
as the Proposed Transferor wishes to transfer. The Offer shall state the
purchase price upon which the Proposed Transferor will sell the Note, or portion
thereof, to the Company and shall remain open and irrevocable for a period of 30
days from the date of its delivery (the "Offer Period"). The Company may accept
the Offer by delivering to the Proposed Transferor within the Offer Period a
written notice of acceptance together with the purchase price specified in the
Offer in immediately available funds. In the event that the Company does not
accept the offer within the Offer Period, the Proposed Transferor shall be free
to sell or transfer its Note, or the portion thereof specified in the Offer, to
any Person for a purchase price not less than nine-five percent (95%) of the
purchase price specified in the Offer for a period of 90 days following the
expiration of the Offer Period subject to the restrictions contained in Section
8 hereof. Any portion of the Note not sold or transferred by the Proposed
Transferor during the 90 day period shall, at the expiration thereof, become
subject again to the transfer restrictions specified in this Section.

         Any Note, or portion thereof, acquired by the Company pursuant to this
Section shall be immediately canceled. Neither the Company nor any of its
affiliates shall ever be deemed to be a holder of any Notes and no Notes
acquired or held by the Company or its affiliates shall be considered in
calculating the ownership of the Notes.

         SECTION 10. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, any provision of this Agreement or of the Notes may be amended
or waived if the Company shall obtain the written agreement thereto of the
holder or holders of at least 66-2/3% of the unpaid principal amount of the
Notes at the time outstanding, except that, without the written agreement of the
holder or holders of all the Notes at the time outstanding, no such amendment or
waiver shall extend the maturity of any Note or reduce the principal of, or the
rate of interest or any prepayment charge payable with respect to, any Note, or
affect the time or amount of any required prepayment or interest payment or
reduce the percentage of the unpaid principal amount of the Notes required with
respect to any amendment or waiver. Each holder of the Notes at the time or
thereafter outstanding shall be bound by any such amendment or waiver, whether
or not a notation thereof shall have been placed on the Note.



                                      -28-
<PAGE>


         No course of dealing between the Company and any Lender or the holder
of any Note, and no delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note,
shall imply or otherwise operate as a waiver of any rights of any Lender or the
holder of any Note.

         SECTION 11. REGISTRATION, TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF NOTES. The Company
will keep at its principal office a register in which it will provide for the
registration and registration of transfer of Notes, at its own expense
(excluding transfer taxes). If any Note is surrendered at said office or at the
place of payment named in the Note for registration of transfer or exchange
(accompanied in the case of registration of transfer by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by or on behalf of
the holder), the Company, at its expense, will deliver in exchange one or more
new Notes in any denominations (multiples of $1,000), as requested by the
holder, for the aggregate unpaid principal amount. Any Note or Notes issued in a
transfer or exchange shall carry the same rights to interest (unpaid and to
accrue) carried by the Note or Notes so transferred or exchanged so that there
will not be any loss or gain of interest on the Note or Notes surrendered. Each
holder of a Note shall promptly inform the Company of the transfer or assignment
of such Note, or any portion thereof.

         SECTION 12. LOST NOTES. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence
satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction of any Note, and (in case of
loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity satisfactory to it (any Lender's or any
other institutional holder's undertaking to be satisfactory indemnity in case of
loss, theft or destruction of any Note owned by such Lender or by such other
institutional holder), and upon reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable
expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of such Note,
if mutilated, the Company will pay any unpaid principal, interest and prepayment
charge then or theretofore due and payable on such Note and will deliver in lieu
of such Note a new Note for the remaining unpaid principal amount thereof and
carrying the same rights to interest (unpaid and to accrue).

         SECTION 13. EXPENSES. The Company agrees, whether or not the
transactions hereby contemplated are consummated, to pay all expenses incident
to the loans and related transactions and also in connection with any future
amendment of, or waiver under or with respect to (whether or not given), this
Agreement or any of the Notes, including in each case, without limitation, any
printing costs, and fees and expenses of Lenders' special counsel and of
Lender's local counsel, if any, for services to the Lenders in connection with
the loans and such other matters, and to reimburse each Lender for any
out-of-pocket disbursements for payment of the expenses mentioned.

         The Company will also pay all taxes (including interest and penalties)
which may be payable in respect of the execution and delivery of this Agreement
or of any of the Notes (but not their transfer) or of any amendment of, or
waiver under or with respect to, this Agreement or of any of the Notes and will
save each Lender and all subsequent holders of the Notes harmless from any loss
or liability resulting from nonpayment or delay in payment of any such tax.

         The obligations of the Company under this Section shall survive the
payment of the Notes.

         The Lenders agree that any information concerning the Company or any

identified in writing by the Company as confidential or the Company has
otherwise advised that such information is confidential, and which is not
information available to or obtainable by the public, shall be treated as
confidential by the Lenders in accordance with the procedures and standards that
the Lenders generally apply to information of a confidential nature. Any Lender
who discloses confidential information to any Person described in subsections
(iii), (iv), or (vii) shall promptly advise the Company of such disclosure. In
the event that any Lender receives a request or demand to disclose any
confidential information pursuant to any subpoena or court order, such Lender
agrees to the extent permitted by applicable law or if permitted by applicable
law, statute, rule or regulation to the extent such Lender determines in good
faith that it will not create any risk of liability to such Lender, that such
Lender will use its best efforts to promptly notify the Company of such request
so that the Company may seek a protective order or other appropriate relief or
remedy.

         The Company's sole remedy for any breach by a Lender of its obligation
under this Section shall be limited to obtaining injunctive relief against
further disclosures of confidential information. The Company may not raise any

or basis for setoff in any action brought against the Company to enforce a
holder's rights under its Note or under this Agreement.

         SECTION 15. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding
upon, and inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Company and each
Lender, and their respective successors and assigns, whether or not so
expressed; provided, however, that the benefits of Sections 8 (the second
paragraph thereof), 12 (as to satisfactory indemnity) and 13 shall be limited as
specifically provided therein, except that any other institutional investor
which is a holder of any of the Notes shall be entitled to the rights and
benefits thereunder as if it were a Lender.

         SECTION 16. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. All
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or made in writing by
or on behalf of the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and of the
Notes, regardless of any investigation at any time made by any Lender or on its
behalf. All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument
delivered by or on behalf of the Company hereunder or in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed representations and warranties
of the Company hereunder.

         SECTION 17. GOVERNING LAW; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. The Note, this
Agreement and (unless otherwise provided) all amendments, supplements, waivers
and consents relating thereto or hereto shall be governed by the laws of the
State of New York (without regard to the conflict of law provisions thereof).

         THE COMPANY, EACH GUARANTOR, AND THE LENDERS WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL
BY JURY ON ANY CAUSE OF ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY INVOLVING THE TERMS,
COVENANTS OR CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY LOAN DOCUMENT.

         SECTION 18. REAFFIRMATION, RESTATEMENT AND WAIVERS. This Agreement
constitutes an amendment and restatement of the Existing Loan Agreement and the
current outstanding indebtedness evidenced by the Existing Loan Agreement is
continuing indebtedness, and nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute a
payment, settlement or novation of such indebtedness evidenced by the Existing
Loan Agreement except to the extent provided herein, or to release or otherwise
adversely affect any lien, mortgage or security interest securing such
indebtedness or any rights of any Lender against any guarantor, surety or other
party primarily or secondarily liable for such indebtedness.

         DEL LABORATORIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), for
value received, hereby promises to pay to the order of Jackson National Life
Insurance Company or its registered assigns, on or before May 31, 2005, the
principal sum of THIRTY-SIX MILLION DOLLARS ($36,000,000) (or so much thereof as
shall not have been prepaid) and to pay interest (computed on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months) on the unpaid principal hereof from the
date hereof at the rate of 9.5% per annum, semiannually on November 30 and May
31 in each year, until such principal sum shall have become due and payable
(whether at maturity, at a required prepayment date, or otherwise) and to pay on
demand interest at the rate of 11.5% per annum on any overdue principal and on
any overdue prepayment charge and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on
any overdue interest, from the due date thereof, until the obligation of the
Company with respect to the payment thereof shall be discharged. Payments of
principal, prepayment charges, and interest shall be made in lawful money of the
United States of America upon presentation hereof at the office of the Company
at 565 Broad Hollow Road, Farmingdale, New York 11735, or at such other place as
the holder hereof shall have designated to the Company in writing.

         This Note is one of the Notes of the Company, aggregating $36,000,000
in original authorized principal amount, arising out of the Amended and Restated
Loan Agreement dated as of March 26, 2002 (the "Loan Agreement"), entered into
by the Company with the lenders named therein. This Note amends and restates the
promissory notes having an original aggregate principal amount of $40,000,000
issued under and pursuant to the Loan Agreement dated May 26, 1993, as amended
(the "Existing Notes") and replaces such Existing Notes in their entirety. The
indebtedness evidenced by the Existing Notes is continuing indebtedness
evidenced by this Note, and nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute a
payment, settlement or novation of the indebtedness evidenced by the Existing
Notes. The holder of this Note is entitled to enforce the provisions of such
Loan Agreement and to enjoy the benefits thereof.

         The Company is required by such Loan Agreement to prepay this Note on
May 31, 2002, and on each May 31 thereafter to and including May 31, 2004, as
long as this Note is outstanding. The Company may, at its election, prepay this
Note, in whole or in part, and may under certain circumstances be required to
prepay this Note in whole, and the maturity hereof may be accelerated by the
holder of this Note or by holders of a percentage of the Notes outstanding
following an Event of Default, all as provided in such Loan Agreement, to which
reference is made for the terms and conditions of such provisions as to
prepayment and acceleration.

         Transfer of this Note is registrable on the note register of the
Company upon presentation at the principal office of the Company, accompanied by
a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly
executed by, or on behalf of, the holder hereof. This Note may also be exchanged
at such offices for one or more Notes in any denominations (multiples of
$1,000), as requested by the holder, of a like aggregate unpaid principal
amount.

         The transfer of this Note is subject to certain restrictions set forth
in Sections 8 and 9 of the Loan Agreement.

         THE COMPANY HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY AND EVERY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY ACTION ON OR RELATED TO THIS NOTE, THE LIABILITIES HEREUNDER OR THE
ENFORCEMENT OF EITHER OR ALL OF THE SAME.

         Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Company and
any agent of the Company may treat the person in whose name this Note is
registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment of principal
and prepayment charges and interest as herein provided and for all other
purposes.

                                 REPRESENTATIONS

PART ONE - REPRESENTATIONS BY THE COMPANY

         SECTION B-1. GOOD STANDING OF THE COMPANY, GUARANTORS AND SUBSIDIARIES;
AUTHORIZATION; VALIDITY AND ENFORCEABILITY. The Company, each Guarantor and each
Subsidiary of the Company or any Guarantor are each a corporation duly
incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of their
respective jurisdictions of incorporation and each has the corporate power to
own its assets and to transact the business in which it is presently engaged and
is duly qualified and is in good standing in all other jurisdictions where the
failure to so qualify would be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse
Change. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Notes
have been duly authorized by all necessary proceedings on the part of the
Company. The Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered on behalf of
the Company and each Guarantor, as the case may be, and are the legal, valid and
binding obligations of the Company and each Guarantor, as the case may be,
enforceable against the Company or such Guarantor in accordance with their
respective terms, except as enforcement may be limited by equitable principles
or by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws
relating to or limited creditors' rights generally.

         SECTION B-2. COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER INSTRUMENTS. The execution, delivery
and performance of this Agreement and the Notes will not result in any breach
of, constitute a default under or result in the creation of any Lien in respect
of any property of the Company, any Guarantor or any Subsidiary pursuant to, the
charter or by-laws of the Company, any Guarantor or any Subsidiary, or any
agreement, instrument, judgment, decree, order, statute, rule or regulation
applicable to the Company, any Guarantor or any Subsidiary, other than the Liens
created pursuant to the Loan Documents. Neither the Company, any Guarantor nor
any Subsidiary is in violation of any term of its charter or by-laws, or of any
term of any agreement, instrument, judgment, decree, order, statute, rule or
regulation applicable to it, the violation of which might materially adversely
affect the business, operations, properties or financial position of the
Company, the Guarantors and Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. Neither the nature
of the Company, any Guarantor nor any Subsidiary, nor of any of their respective
businesses or properties, nor any relationship between the Company, any
Guarantor or any Subsidiary and any other Person is such as to require any
consent, approval or other action by, or any notice to, or filing with, any
Person in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or
fulfillment of, or compliance with, the terms and provisions hereof or thereof,
other than such consents, approvals, actions, notices or filings which have been
duly obtained or made on or prior to the Restatement Effective Date and are set
forth in an Officer's Certificate delivered to you on the Restatement Effective
Date.

         SECTION B-3. BUSINESS, PROPERTIES, FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION
REGARDING THE COMPANY. The Company has delivered to each Lender copies of the
documents listed in Exhibit D and makes the representations that follow:

                  (B) Section D-2 sets forth a correct and complete list and
                  description of all Debt of the Company, any Guarantor and each
                  Subsidiary, any Liens securing such Debt, and any Guaranties
                  outstanding or existing on the date there stated.

Company.

         SECTION B-5. TAXES. The Company, each Guarantor and each Subsidiary of
the Company or any Guarantor have filed all federal, state and local tax returns
required to be filed and have paid all taxes, assessments and governmental
charges and levies thereon to be due, including interest and penalties, unless
and only to the extent that (i) such taxes are being contested in good faith and
by appropriate proceedings by the Company, such Guarantor or any such
Subsidiary, as the case may be; (ii) there are adequate reserves therefor in
accordance with GAAP entered on the books of the Company, such Guarantor or any
such Subsidiary; and (iii) no enforcement proceedings for the collection of such
taxes against the Company, such Guarantor or any such Subsidiary have been
commenced.

         SECTION B-6. ENCUMBRANCES. The Company, each Guarantor and each
Subsidiary has good and marketable title to its real properties and good and
merchantable title to each of its other properties as are reflected in the
audited balance sheet contained in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2000 (except as sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary
course of business) and, except as permitted by Section 5.15, all properties of
the Company, the Guarantors and Subsidiaries are free and clear of all Liens.

         SECTION B-7. MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGES. The consolidated financial

statements, to year end adjustments and the absence of footnotes, (ii) between
December 31, 2000 and the date of this Agreement there has been no Material
Adverse Change and (iii) except as disclosed on such financial statements or the
notes thereto, there are no undisclosed liabilities of the Company or any of its

therein.

         SECTION B-8. OFFERING OF NOTES. Neither the Company nor anyone acting
on its behalf has offered the Notes or any similar securities for sale to, or
solicited any offer to buy any of the same from, or otherwise approached or
negotiated in respect thereof with, any person other than the Lenders and three
other institutional investors. Neither the Company nor anyone acting on its
behalf has taken, or will take, any action which would subject the issuance or
sale of the Notes to Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.



                                      -2-

         SECTION B-9. COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD REGULATIONS. No part
of the proceeds of the loans made hereunder were used, and no part of the
proceeds of any loan repaid with the proceeds of the loans made hereunder were
used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any
"margin stock" within the meaning of Regulation T, U or X (other than the
repurchase of shares of Common Stock of the Company). The assets of the Company
and its Subsidiaries do not include any margin stock (other than shares of the
Company's common stock presently held in its treasury), and neither the Company
nor any of its Subsidiaries has any present intention of acquiring any margin
stock.

         SECTION B-10. ERISA. No employee benefit plan established or maintained
by the Company or by any of its Subsidiaries or to which either the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries has made contributions, which is subject to Part 3 of
Subtitled B of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,
as amended ("ERISA"), has any material accumulated funding deficiency (as
defined in such Act), and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has
incurred any material liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the
"PBGC") or any other governmental entity or agency with respect to any such
plan. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material
respects with ERISA to the extent applicable to them and have received no notice
to the contrary from the PBGC or from any other governmental agency or entity.
The consummation of the transaction provided for in this Agreement and the
compliance by the Company with the provisions hereof and the Notes issued
hereunder will not involve any prohibited transaction within the meaning of
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

         SECTION B-11. INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT. The Company is not, and is not
directly or indirectly controlled by or acting on behalf of any person which is,
an "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended.

         SECTION B-12. FOREIGN ASSETS CONTROL REGULATIONS. Neither the borrowing
by the Company hereunder nor its use of the proceeds thereof will violate the
Foreign Assets Control Regulations, the Foreign Funds Control Regulations, the
Transaction Control Regulations, the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, the
Iranian Transactions Regulations, the Iranian Assets Control Regulations or the
Libyan Sanctions Regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31
C.F.R., Subtitle B, Charter V, as amended) or any regulation or ruling issued
under Executive Order Nos. 12543, 12722, 12724, 12775, 12779, 12708 or 12810.

affect the enforceability of this Agreement or the Notes. None of such actions,
suits, proceedings or investigations, individually or in the aggregate, could
reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the business, operations,
properties or financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a
whole.



                                      -3-

         SECTION B-14. SOLVENCY. After giving effect to the execution of this
Agreement, the Bank Credit Agreement and availability of the Total Commitment
(as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement), (i) The fair value of the assets of
(x) the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis and
(y) the Company and DPI, each singularly, exceeds, in each case, their debts and
liabilities (subordinated, contingent or otherwise); (ii) the present fair
saleable value of the property of (x) the Company and its Consolidated
Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis and (y) the Company and DPI, each
singularly, is, in each case, greater than the amount required to pay the
probable liability of their debts and other liabilities (subordinated,
contingent or otherwise) as such debts and other liabilities mature; (iii) (x)
the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis and (y)
the Company and each Guarantor singularly, is, in each case, able to pay their
debts and liabilities (subordinated, contingent or otherwise) as such debts and
liabilities mature; and (iv) (x) the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries,
on a consolidated basis and (y) the Company and each Guarantor singularly, do
not have, in each case, unreasonably small capital to conduct the businesses in
which they are engaged; and (v) the Company and DPI each has a positive net
worth.

         SECTION B-15. COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS. The Company complies
with all applicable Federal, state and local laws, statues, rules, regulations
and ordinances relating to public health, safety or the environment including,
without limitation, relating to releases, discharges, emissions or disposals to
air, water, land or ground water, to the withdrawal or use of ground water, to
the use, handling or disposal of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's), asbestos or
urea formaldehyde, to the treatment, storage, disposal or management or
hazardous substances (including, without limitation, petroleum, its derivatives,
by-products or other hydrocarbons), to exposure to toxic, hazardous or other
controlled, prohibited or regulated substances, to the transportation, storage,
disposal, management or release of gases or liquid substances, the failure to
comply with which could reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse
effect on the Company, its Subsidiaries, and their businesses and properties,
taken as a whole. Except as disclosed in Schedule D-6 hereto, the Company does
not know of any claim against, and has not received notice that it is a
potentially responsible party, and is not aware of any response action or
clean-up where it may be a potentially responsible party, under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as
amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (42 U.S.C.
Section 9601 ET SEQ.) or any state or local laws, regulations or orders
concerning similar subject matter.

         SECTION B-16. COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS. The Company and each of
its Subsidiaries is in compliance, in all material respects, with all applicable
statutes, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes, orders, licenses, franchises,
permits, authorizations and concessions, as such apply to the Company and its
Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, any applicable building, zoning,
anti-pollution, occupational safety, health or other law, ordinance or
regulation in respect of any of the Company's plants, warehouses, offices,
structures, or operations. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries have
received any notification alleging any violation of any of the foregoing which
might reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company
and its Subsidiaries and with respect to which adequate corrective action has
not been taken. Schedule D-7 contains a list and brief description of all
notices from and related reports to governmental authorities (other than notices
