                           DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
                             Effective April 1, 2005

                                     PURPOSE

      The purpose of this Plan is to provide specified benefits to a select
group of management or highly compensated Employees who contribute materially to
the continued growth, development and future business success of Brooks
Automation, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries, if any, that
sponsor this Plan. This Plan shall be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes
of Title I of ERISA.

      The Plan is intended to defer the recognition of taxable income by
Participants until the distribution of amounts they have deferred or the
Employer has contributed in accordance with the Plan terms without the
imposition of any penalties. Therefore, the Plan is intended to comply with all
applicable law consistent with that intent, including new Code Section 409A, and
shall be operated and interpreted in accordance with this intention and any
action or failure to act which is determined to be inconsistent with Code
Section 409A shall be corrected as soon as possible in order to comply with such
Code Section 409A. To the extent of any inconsistency between this Plan and Code
Section 409A, Code Section 409A shall govern and control. This Plan may be
further amended (the "Modifications") to comply with the terms of Code Section
409A (and any other applicable law). The Plan terms and its interpretation and
administration, shall be modified from time to time (whether or not formal
amendments have yet been adopted to the plan terms) to the extent necessary in
order to comply with Code Section 409A. In addition, Modifications made to the
plan terms may include any elective provisions permitted under applicable law to
the extent set forth in such Modifications.

                                   ARTICLE 1
                                  DEFINITIONS

      For the purposes of this Plan, unless otherwise clearly apparent from the
context, the following phrases or terms shall have the following indicated
meanings:

1.1   "Account Balance" shall mean, with respect to a Participant, an entry on
      the records of the Employer equal to the sum of (i) the Deferral Account
      balance, (ii) the Company Contribution Account balance, and (iii) the
      Company Restoration Matching Account balance. The Account Balance shall be
      a bookkeeping entry only and shall be utilized solely as a device for the
      measurement and determination of the amounts to be paid to a Participant,
      or his or her designated Beneficiary, pursuant to this Plan.

1.2   "Annual Deferral Amount" shall mean that portion of a Participant's Base
      Salary (including Supplemental Salary Deferral, if any), Bonus and
      Commissions that a Participant defers in accordance with Article 3 for any
      one Plan Year, without regard to whether such amounts are withheld and
      credited during such Plan Year. In the event of a Participant's
      Retirement, death or Termination of Employment prior to the end of a Plan
      Year, such year's Annual Deferral Amount shall be the actual amount
      withheld prior to such event.

1.3   "Annual Installment Method" shall be an annual installment payment over
      the number of years selected by the Participant in accordance with this
      Plan, calculated as follows: (i) for the first annual installment, the
      Participant's vested

<PAGE>

      Account Balance shall be calculated as of the close of business on or
      around the Participant's Benefit Distribution Date, as determined by the
      Committee in its sole discretion, and (ii) for remaining annual
      installments, the Participant's vested Account Balance shall be calculated
      on every anniversary of such calculation date, as applicable. Each annual
      installment shall be calculated by multiplying this balance by a fraction,
      the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the
      remaining number of annual payments due the Participant. By way of
      example, if the Participant elects a ten (10) year Annual Installment
      Method for the Retirement Benefit, the first payment shall be 1/10 of the
      vested Account Balance, calculated as described in this definition. The
      following year, the payment shall be 1/9 of the vested Account Balance,
      calculated as described in this definition.

1.4   "Base Salary" shall mean the annual cash compensation relating to services
      performed during any calendar year, excluding distributions from
      nonqualified deferred compensation plans, bonuses, commissions, overtime,
      fringe benefits, stock options, relocation expenses, incentive payments,
      non-monetary awards and other fees, and automobile and other allowances
      paid to a Participant for employment services rendered (whether or not
      such allowances are included in the Employee's gross income). Base Salary
      shall be calculated before reduction for compensation voluntarily deferred
      or contributed by the Participant pursuant to all qualified or
      nonqualified plans of any Employer and shall be calculated to include
      amounts not otherwise included in the Participant's gross income under
      Code Sections 125, 402(e)(3), 402(h), or 403(b) pursuant to plans
      established by any Employer; provided, however, that all such amounts will
      be included in compensation only to the extent that had there been no such
      plan, the amount would have been payable in cash to the Employee.

1.5   "Beneficiary" shall mean one or more persons, trusts, estates or other
      entities, designated in accordance with Article 9, that are entitled to
      receive benefits under this Plan upon the death of a Participant.

      of a Participant's vested Account Balance. A Participant's Benefit
      Distribution Date shall be determined upon the occurrence of any one of

            shall be the last day of the six-month period immediately following

            accordance with Section 6.2(a), his or her Benefit Distribution Date
            shall be postponed in accordance with Section 6.2(a); or

      (b)   If the Participant experiences a Termination of Employment, his or
            her Benefit Distribution Date shall be the last day of the six-month
            period immediately following the date on which the Participant
            experiences a Termination of Employment; provided, however, in the
            event the Participant changes his or her Termination Benefit

2.2   ENROLLMENT AND ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS; COMMENCEMENT OF PARTICIPATION.

      (a)   As a condition to participation, each selected Employee who is
            eligible to participate in the Plan effective as of the first day of
            a Plan Year shall complete, execute and return to the Committee a
            Plan Agreement, an Election Form and a Beneficiary Designation Form,
            prior to the first day of such Plan Year, or such other earlier
            deadline as may be established by the Committee in its sole
            discretion. In addition, the Committee shall establish from time to
            time such other enrollment requirements as it determines, in its
            sole discretion, are necessary. With respect to the First Plan Year,
            each selected Employee must complete these requirements within
            thirty (30) days of the date on which such Employee becomes eligible
            to participate in the Plan. Except as provided in Section 2.2(b)
            below, with respect to any Plan Year after the First Plan Year, each
            selected Employee must complete these requirements prior to the
            first day of such Plan Year, or such other earlier deadline as may
            be established by the Committee in its sole discretion.

      (b)   A selected Employee who first becomes eligible to participate in
            this Plan after the first day of a Plan Year must complete these
            requirements within thirty (30) days after he or she first becomes
            eligible to participate in the Plan, or within such other earlier
            deadline as may be established by the Committee, in its sole
            discretion, in order to participate for that Plan Year. In such
            event, such person's participation in this Plan shall not commence
            earlier than the date determined by the Committee pursuant to
            Section 2.2(c) and such person shall not be permitted to defer under
            this Plan any portion of his or her Base Salary (including
            Supplemental Salary Deferral, if any), Bonus and/or Commissions that
            are paid with respect to services performed prior to his or her
            participation commencement date, except to the extent permitted in
            accordance with the terms of Code Section 409A and related Treasury
            guidance and Regulations thereunder.

      (c)   Each selected Employee who is eligible to participate in the Plan
            shall commence participation in the Plan on the date that the
            Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that the Employee has
            met all enrollment requirements set forth in this Plan and required
            by the Committee, including returning all required documents to the
            Committee within the specified time period. Notwithstanding the
            foregoing, the Committee shall process such Participant's deferral
            election as soon as administratively practicable after such deferral
            election is submitted to and accepted by the Committee.

      (d)   If an Employee fails to meet all requirements contained in this
            Section 2.2 within the period required, that Employee shall not be
            eligible to participate in the Plan during such Plan Year.

2.3   TERMINATION OF A PARTICIPANT'S ELIGIBILITY. The Committee shall have the
      right, in its sole discretion, to (i) terminate any deferral election the
      Participant has made for the remainder of the Plan Year in which the
      Committee makes such determination, (ii) prevent the Participant from
      making future deferral elections, and/or (iii) take further action that
      the Committee deems appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
      event of a Termination of the Plan in

                                       6

<PAGE>

      accordance with Section 1.37, the termination of the affected
      Participants' eligibility for participation in the Plan shall not be
      governed by this Section 2.3, but rather shall be governed by Section 1.37
      and Section 11.1. In the event that a Participant is no longer eligible to
      defer compensation under this Plan, the Participant's Account Balance
      shall continue to be governed by the terms of this Plan until such time as
      the Participant's Account Balance is paid in accordance with the terms of
      this Plan.

3.1   MINIMUM DEFERRALS.

      (a)   ANNUAL DEFERRAL AMOUNT. For each Plan Year, a Participant may elect
            to defer, as his or her Annual Deferral Amount, Base Salary
            (including Supplemental Salary Deferral, if any), Bonus and/or
            Commissions in the following minimum amounts for each Plan Year in
            which a deferral is elected:

            If the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, prior to the
            beginning of a Plan Year that a Participant has made an election for
            less than the stated minimum amounts, or if no election is made, the
            amount deferred shall be zero. If the Committee determines, in its
            sole discretion, at any time after the beginning of a Plan Year that
            a Participant has deferred less than the stated minimum amounts for
            that Plan Year, any amount credited to the Participant's Account
            Balance as the Annual Deferral Amount for that Plan Year shall be
            distributed to the Participant within sixty (60) days after the last
            day of the Plan Year in which the Committee determination was made
            to the extent permitted without violating the provisions of Code
            Section 409A and related Treasury guidance and Regulations
            thereunder.

      (b)   SHORT PLAN YEAR. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant
            first becomes a Participant after the first day of a Plan Year, or
            in the case of the First Plan Year of the Plan itself, the minimum
            Annual Deferral Amount shall be an amount equal to the minimum set
            forth above, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
            number of complete months remaining in the Plan Year and the
            denominator of which is 12.

3.2   MAXIMUM DEFERRAL.

      (a)   ANNUAL DEFERRAL AMOUNT. For each Plan Year, a Participant may elect
            to defer, as his or her Annual Deferral Amount, Base Salary

            Commissions up to the following maximum percentages for each
            deferral elected:

Commissions                        100%
</TABLE>

      (b)   SHORT PLAN YEAR. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant
            first becomes a Participant after the first day of a Plan Year, the
            maximum Annual Deferral Amount shall be limited to the amount of
            compensation not yet earned by the Participant as of the date the
            Participant submits a Plan Agreement and Election Form to the
            Committee for acceptance.

3.3   ELECTION TO DEFER; EFFECT OF ELECTION FORM.

      (a)   FIRST PLAN YEAR. In connection with a Participant's commencement of
            participation in the Plan, the Participant shall make an irrevocable
            deferral election for the Plan Year in which the Participant
            commences participation in the Plan, along with such other elections
            as the Committee deems necessary or desirable under the Plan. For
            these elections to be valid, the Election Form must be completed and
            signed by the Participant, timely delivered to the Committee (in
            accordance with Section 2.2 above) and accepted by the Committee.

      (b)   SUBSEQUENT PLAN YEARS. For each succeeding Plan Year, an irrevocable
            deferral election for that Plan Year, and such other elections as
            the Committee deems necessary or desirable under the Plan, shall be
            made by timely delivering a new Election Form to the Committee, in
            accordance with its rules and procedures, before the end of the Plan
            Year preceding the Plan Year for which the election is made. If no
            such Election Form is timely delivered for a Plan Year, the Annual
            Deferral Amount shall be zero for that Plan Year.

      (c)   PERFORMANCE-BASED COMPENSATION. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
            Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine that an irrevocable
            deferral election pertaining to performance-based compensation may
            be made by timely delivering a new Election Form to the Committee,
            in accordance with its rules and procedures, no later than six (6)
            months before the end of the performance service period.
            "Performance-based compensation" shall be compensation based on
            services performed over a period of at least 12 months, in
            accordance with Code Section 409A and related guidance.

3.4   WITHHOLDING AND CREDITING OF ANNUAL DEFERRAL AMOUNTS. For each Plan Year,
      the Base Salary portion of the Annual Deferral Amount shall be withheld
      from each regularly scheduled Base Salary payroll in equal amounts, as
      adjusted from time to time for increases and decreases in Base Salary. The
      Participant's Supplemental Salary Deferral, if any, shall be withheld in
      substantially equal amounts from each regularly scheduled Base Salary
      payroll period remaining in

                                       8

<PAGE>

      the Plan Year, commencing with the first Base Salary payroll period
      coincident with or next following the Participant's receipt of a refund
      payment under the 401(k) Plan. The Bonus and/or Commissions portion of the
      Annual Deferral Amount shall be withheld at the time the Bonus or
      Commissions are or otherwise would be paid to the Participant, whether or
      not this occurs during the Plan Year itself. Annual Deferral Amounts shall
      be credited to a Participant's Deferral Account at the time such amounts
      would otherwise have been paid to the Participant.

3.5   COMPANY CONTRIBUTION AMOUNT.

      (a)   For each Plan Year, an Employer may be required to credit amounts to
            a Participant's Company Contribution Account in accordance with
            employment or other agreements entered into between the Participant
            and the Employer. Such amounts shall be credited on the date or
            dates prescribed by such agreements.

      (b)   For each Plan Year, an Employer, in its sole discretion, may, but is
            not required to, credit any amount it desires to any Participant's
            Company Contribution Account under this Plan, which amount shall be
            for that Participant the Company Contribution Amount for that Plan
            Year. The amount so credited to a Participant may be smaller or
            larger than the amount credited to any other Participant, and the
            amount credited to any Participant for a Plan Year may be zero, even
            though one or more other Participants receive a Company Contribution
            Amount for that Plan Year. The Company Contribution Amount described
            in this Section 3.5(b), if any, shall be credited on a date or dates
            to be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion.

3.6   COMPANY RESTORATION MATCHING AMOUNT. A Participant's Company Restoration
      Matching Amount for any Plan Year shall be an amount determined by the
      Committee, in its sole discretion, to make up for certain limits
      applicable to the 401(k) Plan or other qualified plan for such Plan Year,
      as identified by the Committee, or for such other purposes as determined
      by the Committee in its sole discretion. The amount so credited to a
      Participant under this Plan for any Plan Year (i) may be smaller or larger
      than the amount credited to any other Participant, and (ii) may differ
      from the amount credited to such Participant in the preceding Plan Year.
      The Participant's Company Restoration Matching Amount, if any, shall be
      credited on a date or dates to be determined by the Committee, in its sole
      discretion.

3.7   CREDITING OF AMOUNTS AFTER BENEFIT DISTRIBUTION. Notwithstanding any
      provision in this Plan to the contrary, should the complete distribution
      of a Participant's vested Account Balance occur prior to the date on which
      any portion of (i) the Annual Deferral Amount that a Participant has
      elected to defer in accordance with Section 3.3, (ii) the Company
      Contribution Amount, or (iii) the Company Restoration Matching Amount,
      would otherwise be credited to the Participant's Account Balance, such
      amounts shall not be credited to the Participant's Account Balance, but
      shall be paid to the Participant in a manner determined by the Committee,
      in its sole discretion.

3.8   VESTING.

      (a)   A Participant shall at all times be one hundred percent (100%)
            vested in his or her Deferral Account.

      (b)   A Participant shall be vested in his or her Company Contribution
            Account and Company Restoration Matching Account in accordance with
            the vesting schedule(s) set forth in his or her Plan Agreement,
            employment agreement or any other agreement entered into between the
            Participant and his or her Employer. If not addressed in such
            agreements, a Participant shall vest in his or her Company
            Contribution Account and Company Restoration Matching Account on the
            basis of the Participant's Years of Service, in accordance with the
            following schedule:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
        YEARS OF SERVICE                       VESTED PERCENTAGE
--------------------------------               -----------------
<S>                                            <C>
        Less than 1 year                               0%
1 year or more, but less than 2                       33%
2 years or more, but less than 3                      66%
        3 years or more                              100%
</TABLE>

      (c)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
            3.8, in the event of a Change in Control, or upon a Participant's
            Retirement or death while employed by an Employer, a Participant's
            Company Contribution Account and Company Restoration Matching
            Account shall immediately become one hundred percent (100%) vested
            (if it is not already vested in accordance with the above vesting
            schedules).

      (d)   Notwithstanding subsection 3.8(c) above, the vesting schedule for a
            Participant's Company Contribution Account and Company Restoration
            Matching Account shall not be accelerated upon a Change in Control
            to the extent that the Committee determines that such acceleration
            would cause the deduction limitations of Section 280G of the Code to
            become effective. In the event that all of a Participant's Company
            Contribution Account and/or Company Restoration Matching Account is
            not vested pursuant to such a determination, the Participant may
            request independent verification of the Committee's calculations
            with respect to the application of Section 280G. In such case, the
            Committee must provide to the Participant within ninety (90) days of
            such a request an opinion from a nationally recognized accounting
            firm selected by the Participant (the "Accounting Firm"). The
            opinion shall state the Accounting Firm's opinion that any
            limitation in the vested percentage hereunder is necessary to avoid
            the limits of Section 280G and contain supporting calculations. The
            cost of such opinion shall be paid for by the Company.

      (e)   Section 3.8(d) shall not prevent the acceleration of the vesting
            schedule applicable to a Participant's Company Contribution Account
            and/or Company Restoration Matching Account if such Participant is
            entitled to a "gross-up" payment, to eliminate the effect of the
            Code section 4999 excise tax, pursuant to his or her employment
            agreement or other agreement entered into between such Participant
            and the Employer.

3.9   CREDITING/DEBITING OF ACCOUNT BALANCES. In accordance with, and subject
      to, the rules and procedures that are established from time to time by the
      Committee, in its sole discretion, amounts shall be credited or debited to
      a Participant's Account Balance in accordance with the following rules:

      (a)   MEASUREMENT FUNDS. The Participant may elect one or more of the
            measurement funds selected by the Committee, in its sole discretion,
            which are based on certain mutual funds (the "Measurement Funds"),
            for the purpose of crediting or debiting additional amounts to his
            or her Account Balance. As necessary, the Committee may, in its sole
            discretion, discontinue, substitute or add a Measurement Fund. Each
            such action will take effect as of the first day of the first
            calendar quarter that begins at least thirty (30) days after the day
            on which the Committee gives Participants advance written notice of
            such change.

      (b)   ELECTION OF MEASUREMENT FUNDS. A Participant, in connection with his
            or her initial deferral election in accordance with Section 3.3(a)
            above, shall elect, on the Election Form, one or more Measurement
            Fund(s) (as described in Section 3.9(a) above) to be used to
            determine the amounts to be credited or debited to his or her
            Account Balance. If a Participant does not elect any of the
            Measurement Funds as described in the previous sentence, the
            Participant's Account Balance shall automatically be allocated into
            the Money Market Measurement Fund, or such other default Measurement
            Fund(s) selected by the Committee, in its sole discretion, and
            communicated to Participants. The Participant may (but is not
            required to) elect, by submitting an Election Form to the Committee
            that is accepted by the Committee, to add or delete one or more
            Measurement Fund(s) to be used to determine the amounts to be
            credited or debited to his or her Account Balance, or to change the
            portion of his or her Account Balance allocated to each previously
            or newly elected Measurement Fund. If an election is made in
            accordance with the previous sentence, it shall apply as of the
            first business day deemed reasonably practicable by the Committee,
            in its sole discretion, and shall continue thereafter for each
            subsequent day in which the Participant participates in the Plan,
            unless changed in accordance with the previous sentence.

      (c)   PROPORTIONATE ALLOCATION. In making any election described in
            Section 3.9(b) above, the Participant shall specify on the Election
            Form, in increments of one percent (1%), the percentage of his or
            her Account Balance or Measurement Fund, as applicable, to be
            allocated/reallocated.

      (d)   CREDITING OR DEBITING METHOD. The performance of each Measurement
            Fund (either positive or negative) will be determined on a daily
            basis based on the manner in which such Participant's Account
            Balance has been hypothetically allocated among the Measurement
            Funds by the Participant.

      (e)   NO ACTUAL INVESTMENT. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
            Plan that may be interpreted to the contrary, the Measurement Funds
            are to be used for measurement purposes only, and a Participant's

            thereto, the calculation of additional amounts and the crediting or
            debiting of such amounts to a Participant's Account Balance shall
            not be considered or construed in any manner as an actual investment
            of his or her Account Balance in any such Measurement Fund. In the
            event that the Company or the Trustee (as that term is defined in
            the Trust), in its own discretion, decides to invest funds in any or
            all of the investments on which the Measurement Funds are based, no
            Participant shall have any rights in or to such investments
            themselves. Without limiting the foregoing, a Participant's Account
            Balance shall at all times be a bookkeeping entry only and shall not
            represent any investment made on his or her behalf by the Company or
            the Trust; the Participant shall at all times remain an unsecured
            creditor of the Company.

3.10  FICA AND OTHER TAXES.

      (a)   ANNUAL DEFERRAL AMOUNTS. For each Plan Year in which an Annual
            Deferral Amount is being withheld from a Participant, the
            Participant's Employer(s) shall withhold from that portion of the
            Participant's Base Salary, Bonus and/or Commissions that is not
            being deferred, in a manner determined by the Employer(s), the
            Participant's share of FICA and other employment taxes on such
            Annual Deferral Amount. If necessary, the Committee may reduce the
            Annual Deferral Amount in order to comply with this Section 3.10.

      (b)   COMPANY RESTORATION MATCHING ACCOUNT AND COMPANY CONTRIBUTION
            ACCOUNT. When a Participant becomes vested in a portion of his or
            her Company Restoration Matching Account and/or Company Contribution
            Account, the Participant's Employer(s) shall withhold from that
            portion of the Participant's Base Salary, Bonus and/or Commissions
            that is not deferred, in a manner determined by the Employer(s), the
            Participant's share of FICA and other employment taxes on such
            Company Restoration Matching Amount and/or Company Contribution
            Amount. If necessary, the Committee may reduce the vested portion of
            the Participant's Company Restoration Matching Account or Company
            Contribution Account, as applicable, in order to comply with this
            Section 3.10.

      (c)   DISTRIBUTIONS. The Participant's Employer(s), or the trustee of the
            Trust, shall withhold from any payments made to a Participant under
            this Plan all federal, state and local income, employment and other
            taxes required to be withheld by the Employer(s), or the trustee of
            the Trust, in connection with such payments, in amounts and in a
            manner to be determined in the sole discretion of the Employer(s)
            and the trustee of the Trust.

           SCHEDULED DISTRIBUTION; UNFORESEEABLE FINANCIAL EMERGENCIES

4.1   SCHEDULED DISTRIBUTION. In connection with each election to defer an
      Annual Deferral Amount, a Participant may irrevocably elect to receive a
      Scheduled Distribution, in the form of a lump sum payment, from the Plan
      with respect to all or a portion of the Annual Deferral Amount. The
      Scheduled Distribution shall be a lump sum payment in an amount that is
      equal to the portion of the Annual Deferral Amount the Participant elected
      to have distributed as a Scheduled Distribution, plus amounts credited or
      debited in the manner provided in Section 3.9 above on that amount,
      calculated as of the close of business on or around the date on which the
      Scheduled Distribution becomes payable, as determined by the Committee in
      its sole discretion. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this
      Plan, each Scheduled Distribution elected shall be paid out during a sixty
      (60) day period commencing immediately after the first day of any Plan
      Year designated by the Participant (the "Scheduled Distribution Date").
      The Scheduled Distribution Date designated by the Participant must be at
      least three (3) Plan Years after the end of the Plan Year to which the
      Participant's deferral election described in Section 3.3 relates. By way
      of example, if a Scheduled Distribution is elected for Annual Deferral
      Amounts that are earned in the Plan Year commencing January 1, 2006, the
      earliest Scheduled Distribution Date would be January 1, 2010, and the
      Scheduled Distribution would be payable during the sixty (60) day period
      commencing immediately after such Scheduled Distribution Date.

4.2   POSTPONING SCHEDULED DISTRIBUTIONS. A Participant may elect to postpone a
      Scheduled Distribution described in Section 4.1 above, and have such
      amount paid out during a sixty (60) day period commencing immediately
      after an allowable alternative Scheduled Distribution Date designated by
      the Participant in accordance with this Section 4.2. In order to make this
      election, the Participant must submit a new Scheduled Distribution
      Election Form to the Committee in accordance with the following criteria:

      (a)   Such Scheduled Distribution Election Form must be submitted to and
            accepted by the Committee in its sole discretion at least twelve
            (12) months prior to the Participant's previously designated
            Scheduled Distribution Date;

      (b)   The new Scheduled Distribution Date selected by the Participant must
            be the first day of a Plan Year, and must be at least five years
            after the previously designated Scheduled Distribution Date; and

      (c)   The election of the new Scheduled Distribution Date shall have no
            effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the
            election is made.

4.3   OTHER BENEFITS TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER SCHEDULED DISTRIBUTIONS. Should a
      Benefit Distribution Date occur that triggers a benefit under Articles 5,
      6, 7 or 8, any Annual Deferral Amount that is subject to a Scheduled
      Distribution election under Section 4.1 shall not be paid in accordance
      with Section 4.1, but shall be paid in accordance with the other
      applicable Article. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall
      interpret this Section 4.3 in a manner that is

                                       13
<PAGE>

      consistent with Code Section 409A and other applicable tax law, including
      but not limited to Treasury guidance and Regulations issued after the
      effective date of this Plan.

4.4   WITHDRAWAL PAYOUT/SUSPENSIONS FOR UNFORESEEABLE FINANCIAL EMERGENCIES.

      (a)   If the Participant experiences an Unforeseeable Financial Emergency,
            the Participant may petition the Committee to suspend deferrals of
            Base Salary (including Supplemental Salary Deferral, if any), Bonus
            and Commissions to the extent deemed necessary by the Committee to
            satisfy the Unforeseeable Financial Emergency. If suspension of
            deferrals is not sufficient to satisfy the Participant's
            Unforeseeable Financial Emergency, or if suspension of deferrals is
            not required under Code Section 409A and other applicable tax law,
            the Participant may further petition the Committee to receive a
            partial or full payout from the Plan. The Participant shall only
            receive a payout from the Plan to the extent such payout is deemed
            necessary by the Committee to satisfy the Participant's
            Unforeseeable Financial Emergency, plus amounts reasonably necessary
            to pay taxes anticipated as a result of the distribution.

      (b)   The payout shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the Participant's
            vested Account Balance, calculated as of the close of business on or
            around the date on which the amount becomes payable, as determined
            by the Committee in its sole discretion, or (ii) the amount
            necessary to satisfy the Unforeseeable Financial Emergency, plus
            amounts reasonably necessary to pay taxes anticipated as a result of
            the distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may
            not receive a payout from the Plan to the extent that the
            Unforeseeable Financial Emergency is or may be relieved (A) through
            reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, (B) by
            liquidation of the Participant's assets, to the extent the
            liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial
            hardship or (C) by suspension of deferrals under this Plan, if the
            Committee, in its sole discretion, determines that suspension is
            required by Code Section 409A and other applicable tax law.

      (c)   If the Committee, in its sole discretion, approves a Participant's
            petition for suspension, the Participant's deferrals under this Plan
            shall be suspended as of the date of such approval. If the
            Committee, in its sole discretion, approves a Participant's petition
            for suspension and payout, the Participant's deferrals under this
            Plan shall be suspended as of the date of such approval and the
            Participant shall receive a payout from the Plan within sixty (60)
            days of the date of such approval.

      (d)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall interpret all
            provisions relating to suspension and/or payout under this Section
            4.4 in a manner that is consistent with Code Section 409A and other
            applicable tax law, including but not limited to Treasury guidance
            and Regulations issued after the effective date of this Plan.

                            CHANGE IN CONTROL BENEFIT

5.1   CHANGE IN CONTROL BENEFIT. A Participant, in connection with his or her
      commencement of participation in the Plan, shall irrevocably elect on an
      Election Form whether to (i) receive a Change in Control Benefit upon the
      occurrence of a Change in Control, which shall be equal to the
      Participant's vested Account Balance, calculated as of the close of
      business on or around the Participant's Benefit Distribution Date, as
      determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, or (ii) to have his or
      her Account Balance remain in the Plan upon the occurrence of a Change in
      Control and to have his or her Account Balance remain subject to the terms
      and conditions of the Plan. If a Participant does not make any election
      with respect to the payment of the Change in Control Benefit, then such
      Participant's Account Balance shall remain in the Plan upon a Change in
      Control and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

5.2   PAYMENT OF CHANGE IN CONTROL BENEFIT. The Change in Control Benefit, if
      any, shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum no later than sixty
      (60) days after the Participant's Benefit Distribution Date.
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall interpret all
      provisions in this Plan relating to a Change in Control Benefit in a
      manner that is consistent with Code Section 409A and other applicable tax
      law, including but not limited to Treasury guidance and Regulations issued
      after the effective date of this Plan.

                               RETIREMENT BENEFIT

6.1   RETIREMENT BENEFIT. A Participant who Retires shall receive, as a
      Retirement Benefit, his or her vested Account Balance, calculated as of
      the close of business on or around the Participant's Benefit Distribution
      Date, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

6.2   PAYMENT OF RETIREMENT BENEFIT.

      (a)   A Participant, in connection with his or her commencement of
            participation in the Plan, shall elect on an Election Form to
            receive the Retirement Benefit in a lump sum or pursuant to an
            Annual Installment Method of up to fifteen (15) years. The
            Participant may change this election by submitting an Election Form
            to the Committee in accordance with the following criteria:

            (i)   Such Election Form must be submitted to and accepted by the
                  Committee in its sole discretion at least twelve (12) months
                  prior to the Participant's previously scheduled Benefit
                  Distribution Date; and

            (ii)  Each election shall result in the first Retirement Benefit
                  payment being delayed for five (5) years from the previously
                  scheduled Benefit Distribution Date. By way of example, if a
                  Participant makes two elections to change the form of the
                  Retirement Benefit in accordance with this Section, his or her
                  first Retirement Benefit payment shall be delayed for a total
                  of ten (10) years from the

                                       15
<PAGE>

                  originally scheduled Benefit Distribution Date described in
                  Section 1.7(a); and

            (iii) The election to modify the Retirement Benefit shall have no
                  effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on
                  which the election is made; and

            (iv)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall interpret
                  all provisions relating to changing the Retirement Benefit
                  election under this Section 6.2 in a manner that is consistent
                  with Code Section 409A and other applicable tax law, including
                  but not limited to Treasury guidance and Regulations issued
                  after the effective date of this Plan. Accordingly, if a
                  Participant's subsequent Retirement Benefit distribution
                  election would result in the shortening of the length of the
                  Retirement Benefit payment period (e.g., a Participant changes
                  an existing distribution election from annual installments to
                  a lump sum payment; from fifteen (15) annual installments to
                  five (5) annual installments, etc.), and the Committee
                  determines such election to be inconsistent with Code Section
                  409A and other applicable tax law, the election shall not be
                  effective.

            The Election Form most recently accepted by the Committee shall
            govern the payout of the Retirement Benefit. Notwithstanding the
            foregoing, if the Participant's vested Account Balance at the time
            of his or her Benefit Distribution Date is less than $100,000, the
            Participant's entire vested Account Balance shall be paid to the
            Participant in a lump sum. If a Participant does not make any
            election with respect to the payment of the Retirement Benefit in
            connection with his or her commencement of participation in the
            Plan, then such Participant shall be deemed to have elected to
            receive the Retirement Benefit in a lump sum.

      (b)   The lump sum payment shall be made, or installment payments shall
            commence, no later than sixty (60) days after the Participant's
            Benefit Distribution Date. Remaining installments, if any, shall be
            paid no later than sixty (60) days after each anniversary of the
            Participant's Benefit Distribution Date.

                               TERMINATION BENEFIT

7.1   TERMINATION BENEFIT. A Participant who experiences a Termination of
      Employment shall receive, as a Termination Benefit, his or her vested
      Account Balance, calculated as of the close of business on or around the
      Participant's Benefit Distribution Date, as determined by the Committee in
      its sole discretion.

7.2   PAYMENT OF TERMINATION BENEFIT.

      (a)   In the event the Participant experiences a voluntary Termination of
            Employment, the Termination Benefit shall be paid to the Participant
            in a lump sum payment no later than sixty (60) days after the
            Participant's Benefit Distribution Date.

      (b)   A Participant, in connection with his or her commencement of
            participation in the Plan, shall elect on an Election Form to
            receive the Termination Benefit, payable in the event of his or her
            involuntary Termination of Employment, in a lump sum or pursuant to
            an Annual Installment Method of up to five (5) years. The
            Participant may change this election by submitting an Election Form
            to the Committee in accordance with the following criteria:

            (i)   Such Election Form must be submitted to and accepted by the
                  Committee in its sole discretion at least twelve (12) months
                  prior to the Participant's previously scheduled Benefit
                  Distribution Date; and

            (ii)  Each election shall result in the first Termination Benefit
                  payment being delayed for five (5) years from the previously
                  scheduled Benefit Distribution Date. By way of example, if a
                  Participant makes two elections to change the form of the
                  Termination Benefit in accordance with this Section, his or
                  her first Termination Benefit payment shall be delayed for a
                  total of ten (10) years from the originally scheduled Benefit
                  Distribution Date described in Section 1.7(b); and

            (iii) The election to modify the Termination Benefit shall have no
                  effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on
                  which the election is made; and

            (iv)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall interpret
                  all provisions relating to changing the Termination Benefit
                  election under this Section 7.2 in a manner that is consistent
                  with Code Section 409A and other applicable tax law, including
                  but not limited to Treasury guidance and Regulations issued
                  after the effective date of this Plan. Accordingly, if a
                  Participant's subsequent Termination Benefit distribution
                  election would result in the shortening of the length of the
                  Termination Benefit payment period (e.g., a Participant
                  changes an existing distribution election from annual
                  installments to a lump sum payment; from five (5) annual
                  installments to three (3) annual installments, etc.), and the
                  Committee determines such election to be inconsistent with
                  Code Section 409A and other applicable tax law, the election
                  shall not be effective.

            The Election Form most recently accepted by the Committee shall
            govern the payout of the Termination Benefit. Notwithstanding the
            foregoing, if the Participant's vested Account Balance at the time
            of his or her Benefit Distribution Date is less than $100,000, the
            Participant's entire vested Account Balance shall be paid to the
            Participant in a lump sum. If a Participant does not make any
            election with respect to the payment of the Termination Benefit in
            connection with his or her commencement of participation in the
            Plan, then such Participant shall be deemed to have elected to
            receive the Termination Benefit in a lump sum.

            The lump sum payment shall be made, or installment payments shall
            commence, no later than sixty (60) days after the Participant's
            Benefit

            Distribution Date. Remaining installments, if any, shall be paid no
            later than sixty (60) days after each anniversary of the

                                  DEATH BENEFIT

8.1   DEATH BENEFIT. The Participant's Beneficiary(ies) shall receive a Death
      Benefit upon the Participant's death which will be equal to the
      Participant's vested Account Balance, calculated as of the close of
      business on or around the Participant's Benefit Distribution Date, as
      selected by the Committee in its sole discretion.

8.2   PAYMENT OF DEATH BENEFIT.

      (a)   A Participant, in connection with his or her commencement of
            participation in the Plan, shall elect on an Election Form for his
            or her Beneficiary(ies) to receive the Death Benefit in a lump sum
            or pursuant to an Annual Installment Method of up to three (3)
            years. The Participant may change this election by submitting an
            Election Form to the Committee, provided that any such Election Form
            is submitted to and accepted by the Committee in its sole discretion
            at least twelve (12) months prior to the Participant's death.

            Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall interpret all
            provisions relating to changing the Death Benefit election under
            this Section 8.2 in a manner that is consistent with Code Section
            409A and other applicable tax law, including but not limited to
            Treasury guidance and Regulations issued after the effective date of
            this Plan. Accordingly, if a Participant's subsequent Death Benefit
            distribution election would result in the shortening of the length
            of the Death Benefit payment period (e.g., a Participant changes an
            existing distribution election from annual installments to a lump
            sum payment; from three (3) annual installments to two (2) annual
            installments, etc.), and the Committee determines such election to
            be inconsistent with Code Section 409A and other applicable tax law,
            the election shall not be effective.

            The Election Form most recently accepted by the Committee shall
            govern the payout of the Death Benefit. Notwithstanding the
            foregoing, if the Participant's vested Account Balance at the time
            of his or her Benefit Distribution Date is less than $100,000, the
            Participant's entire vested Account Balance shall be paid to the
            Participant's Beneficiary(ies) in a lump sum. If a Participant does
            not make any election with respect to the payment of the Death
            Benefit, then such benefit shall be payable in a lump sum.

      (b)   The Death Benefit shall be paid to the Participant's
            Beneficiary(ies) in a lump sum payment, or installment payments
            shall commence, no later than sixty (60) days after the
            Participant's Benefit Distribution Date. Remaining installments, if
            any, shall be paid no later than sixty (60) days after each
            anniversary of the Participant's Benefit Distribution Date.

                             BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

9.1   BENEFICIARY. Each Participant shall have the right, at any time, to
      designate his or her Beneficiary(ies) (both primary as well as contingent)
      to receive any benefits payable under the Plan to a beneficiary upon the
      death of a Participant. The Beneficiary designated under this Plan may be
      the same as or different from the Beneficiary designation under any other
      plan of an Employer in which the Participant participates.

9.2   BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION AND CHANGE. A Participant shall designate his or
      her Beneficiary by completing and signing the Beneficiary Designation
      Form, and returning it to the Committee or its designated agent. A
      Participant shall have the right to change a Beneficiary by completing,
      signing and otherwise complying with the terms of the Beneficiary
      Designation Form and the Committee's rules and procedures, as in effect
      from time to time. Upon the acceptance by the Committee of a new
      Beneficiary Designation Form, all Beneficiary designations previously
      filed shall be canceled. The Committee shall be entitled to rely on the
      last Beneficiary Designation Form filed by the Participant and accepted by
      the Committee prior to his or her death.

9.3   ACKNOWLEDGMENT. No designation or change in designation of a Beneficiary
      shall be effective until received and acknowledged in writing by the
      Committee or its designated agent.

9.4   NO BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION. If a Participant fails to designate a
      Beneficiary as provided in Sections 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3 above or, if all
      designated Beneficiaries predecease the Participant or die prior to
      complete distribution of the Participant's benefits, then the
      Participant's designated Beneficiary shall be deemed to be his or her
      surviving spouse. If the Participant has no surviving spouse, the benefits
      remaining under the Plan to be paid to a Beneficiary shall be payable to
      the executor or personal representative of the Participant's estate.

9.5   DOUBT AS TO BENEFICIARY. If the Committee has any doubt as to the proper
      Beneficiary to receive payments pursuant to this Plan, the Committee shall
      have the right, exercisable in its discretion, to cause the Participant's
      Employer to withhold such payments until this matter is resolved to the
      Committee's satisfaction.

9.6   DISCHARGE OF OBLIGATIONS. The payment of benefits under the Plan to a
      Beneficiary shall fully and completely discharge all Employers and the
      Committee from all further obligations under this Plan with respect to the
      Participant, and that Participant's Plan Agreement shall terminate upon
      such full payment of benefits.

                                LEAVE OF ABSENCE

10.1  PAID LEAVE OF ABSENCE. If a Participant is authorized by the Participant's
      Employer to take a paid leave of absence from the employment of the
      Employer, (i) the Participant shall continue to be considered eligible for
      the benefits provided in Articles 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 in accordance with the
      provisions of those Articles, and (ii) the Annual Deferral Amount shall
      continue to be withheld during such paid leave of absence in accordance
      with Section 3.3.

10.2  UNPAID LEAVE OF ABSENCE. If a Participant is authorized by the
      Participant's Employer to take an unpaid leave of absence from the
      employment of the Employer for any reason, such Participant shall continue
      to be eligible for the benefits provided in Articles 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 in
      accordance with the provisions of those Articles. However, the Participant
      shall be excused from fulfilling his or her Annual Deferral Amount
      commitment that would otherwise have been withheld during the remainder of
      the Plan Year in which the unpaid leave of absence is taken. During the
      unpaid leave of absence, the Participant shall not be allowed to make any
      additional deferral elections. However, if the Participant returns to
      employment, the Participant may elect to defer an Annual Deferral Amount
      for the Plan Year following his or her return to employment and for every
      Plan Year thereafter while a Participant in the Plan, provided such
      deferral elections are otherwise allowed and an Election Form is delivered
      to and accepted by the Committee for each such election in accordance with
      Section 3.3 above.

                 TERMINATION OF PLAN, AMENDMENT OR MODIFICATION

11.1  TERMINATION OF PLAN. Although each Employer anticipates that it will
      continue the Plan for an indefinite period of time, there is no guarantee
      that any Employer will continue the Plan or will not terminate the Plan at
      any time in the future. Accordingly, each Employer reserves the right to
      Terminate the Plan (as defined in Section 1.37). In the event of a
      Termination of the Plan, the Measurement Funds available to Participants
      following the Termination of the Plan shall be comparable in number and
      type to those Measurement Funds available to Participants in the Plan Year
      preceding the Plan Year in which the Termination of the Plan is effective.
      Following a Termination of the Plan, Participant Account Balances shall
      remain in the Plan until the Participant becomes eligible for the benefits
      provided in Articles 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 in accordance with the provisions of
      those Articles. The Termination of the Plan shall not adversely affect any
      Participant or Beneficiary who has become entitled to the payment of any
      benefits under the Plan as of the date of termination. Notwithstanding the
      foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted under Code Section 409A and
      other applicable tax law, including but not limited to Treasury guidance
      and Regulations issued after the effective date of this Plan, the Employer
      shall be permitted to terminate the Plan and distribute all benefits
      accrued hereunder in a lump sum.

11.2  AMENDMENT. Any Employer may, at any time, amend or modify the Plan in
      whole or in part with respect to that Employer. Notwithstanding the
      foregoing, (i) no amendment or modification shall be effective to decrease
      the value of a Participant's vested Account Balance in existence at the
      time the amendment or

                                       20
<PAGE>

      modification is made, and (ii) no amendment or modification of this
      Section 11.2 or Section 12.2 of the Plan shall be effective.

11.3  PLAN AGREEMENT. Despite the provisions of Sections 11.1 and 11.2 above, if
      a Participant's Plan Agreement contains benefits or limitations that are
      not in this Plan document, the Employer may only amend or terminate such
      provisions with the written consent of the Participant.

11.4  EFFECT OF PAYMENT. The full payment of the Participant's vested Account
      Balance under Articles 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 of the Plan shall completely
      discharge all obligations to a Participant and his or her designated
      Beneficiaries under this Plan, and the Participant's Plan Agreement shall
      terminate.

                                   ARTICLE 12
                                 ADMINISTRATION

12.1  COMMITTEE DUTIES. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 12, this
      Plan shall be administered by a Committee, which shall consist of the
      Board, or such committee as the Board shall appoint. Members of the
      Committee may be Participants under this Plan. The Committee shall also
      have the discretion and authority to (i) make, amend, interpret, and
      enforce all appropriate rules and regulations for the administration of
      this Plan, and (ii) decide or resolve any and all questions including
      interpretations of this Plan, as may arise in connection with the Plan.
      Any individual serving on the Committee who is a Participant shall not
      vote or act on any matter relating solely to himself or herself. When
      making a determination or calculation, the Committee shall be entitled to
      rely on information furnished by a Participant or the Company.

12.2  ADMINISTRATION UPON CHANGE IN CONTROL. For purposes of this Plan, the
      Committee shall be the "Administrator" at all times prior to the
      occurrence of a Change in Control. Within one hundred and twenty (120)
      days following a Change in Control, an independent third party
      "Administrator" may be selected by the individual who, immediately prior
      to the Change in Control, was the Company's Chief Executive Officer or, if
      not so identified, the Company's highest ranking officer (the "Ex-CEO"),
      and approved by the Trustee. The Committee, as constituted prior to the
      Change in Control, shall continue to be the Administrator until the
      earlier of (i) the date on which such independent third party is selected
      and approved, or (ii) the expiration of the one hundred and twenty (120)
      day period following the Change in Control. If an independent third party
      is not selected within one hundred and twenty (120) days of such Change in
      Control, the Committee, as described in Section 12.1 above, shall be the
      Administrator. The Administrator shall have the discretionary power to
      determine all questions arising in connection with the administration of
      the Plan and the interpretation of the Plan and Trust including, but not
      limited to benefit entitlement determinations; provided, however, upon and
      after the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Administrator shall have
      no power to direct the investment of Plan or Trust assets or select any
      investment manager or custodial firm for the Plan or Trust. Upon and after
      the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company must: (1) pay all
      reasonable administrative expenses and fees of the Administrator; (2)
      indemnify the Administrator against any costs, expenses and liabilities
      including, without limitation, attorney's fees and expenses arising in
      connection with the performance of the Administrator hereunder, except
      with

                                       21
<PAGE>

      respect to matters resulting from the gross negligence or willful
      misconduct of the Administrator or its employees or agents; and (3) supply
      full and timely information to the Administrator on all matters relating
      to the Plan, the Trust, the Participants and their Beneficiaries, the
      Account Balances of the Participants, the date and circumstances of the
      Retirement, death or Termination of Employment of the Participants, and
      such other pertinent information as the Administrator may reasonably
      require. Upon and after a Change in Control, the Administrator may be
      terminated (and a replacement appointed) by the Trustee only with the
      approval of the Ex-CEO. Upon and after a Change in Control, the
      Administrator may not be terminated by the Company.

12.3  AGENTS. In the administration of this Plan, the Committee may, from time
      to time, employ agents and delegate to them such administrative duties as
      it sees fit (including acting through a duly appointed representative) and
      may from time to time consult with counsel who may be counsel to any
      Employer.

12.4  BINDING EFFECT OF DECISIONS. The decision or action of the Administrator
      with respect to any question arising out of or in connection with the
      administration, interpretation and application of the Plan and the rules
      and regulations promulgated hereunder shall be final and conclusive and
      binding upon all persons having any interest in the Plan.

12.5  INDEMNITY OF COMMITTEE. All Employers shall indemnify and hold harmless
      the members of the Committee, any Employee to whom the duties of the
      Committee may be delegated, and the Administrator against any and all
      claims, losses, damages, expenses or liabilities arising from any action
      or failure to act with respect to this Plan, except in the case of willful
      misconduct by the Committee, any of its members, any such Employee or the
      Administrator.

12.6  EMPLOYER INFORMATION. To enable the Committee and/or Administrator to
      perform its functions, the Company and each Employer shall supply full and
      timely information to the Committee and/or Administrator, as the case may
      be, on all matters relating to the compensation of its Participants, the
      date and circumstances of the Retirement, death or Termination of
      Employment of its Participants, and such other pertinent information as
      the Committee or Administrator may reasonably require.

                          OTHER BENEFITS AND AGREEMENTS

13.1  COORDINATION WITH OTHER BENEFITS. The benefits provided for a Participant
      and Participant's Beneficiary under the Plan are in addition to any other
      benefits available to such Participant under any other plan or program for
      employees of the Participant's Employer. The Plan shall supplement and
      shall not supersede, modify or amend any other such plan or program except
      as may otherwise be expressly provided.

                                CLAIMS PROCEDURES

14.1  PRESENTATION OF CLAIM. Any Participant or Beneficiary of a deceased
      Participant (such Participant or Beneficiary being referred to below as a
      "Claimant") may deliver to the Committee a written claim for a
      determination with respect to the amounts distributable to such Claimant
      from the Plan. If such a claim relates to the contents of a notice
      received by the Claimant, the claim must be made within sixty (60) days
      after such notice was received by the Claimant. All other claims must be
      made within 180 days of the date on which the event that caused the claim
      to arise occurred. The claim must state with particularity the
      determination desired by the Claimant.

14.2  NOTIFICATION OF DECISION. The Committee shall consider a Claimant's claim
      within a reasonable time, but no later than ninety (90) days after
      receiving the claim. If the Committee determines that special
      circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim,
      written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the Claimant prior
      to the termination of the initial ninety (90) day period. In no event
      shall such extension exceed a period of ninety (90) days from the end of
      the initial period. The extension notice shall indicate the special
      circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the
      Committee expects to render the benefit determination. The Committee shall
      notify the Claimant in writing:

      (a)   that the Claimant's requested determination has been made, and that
            the claim has been allowed in full; or

      (b)   that the Committee has reached a conclusion contrary, in whole or in
            part, to the Claimant's requested determination, and such notice
            must set forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the
            Claimant:

            (i)   the specific reason(s) for the denial of the claim, or any
                  part of it;

            (ii)  specific reference(s) to pertinent provisions of the Plan upon
                  which such denial was based;

            (iii) a description of any additional material or information
                  necessary for the Claimant to perfect the claim, and an
                  explanation of why such material or information is necessary;

            (iv)  an explanation of the claim review procedure set forth in
                  Section 14.3 below; and

            (v)   a statement of the Claimant's right to bring a civil action
                  under ERISA Section 502(a) following an adverse benefit
                  determination on review.

14.3  REVIEW OF A DENIED CLAIM. On or before sixty (60) days after receiving a
      notice from the Committee that a claim has been denied, in whole or in
      part, a Claimant (or the Claimant's duly authorized representative) may
      file with the Committee a written request for a review of the denial of
      the claim. The Claimant (or the Claimant's duly authorized
      representative):

                                       23
<PAGE>

      (a)   may, upon request and free of charge, have reasonable access to, and
            copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to
            the claim for benefits;

      (b)   may submit written comments or other documents; and/or

      (c)   may request a hearing, which the Committee, in its sole discretion,
            may grant.

14.4  DECISION ON REVIEW. The Committee shall render its decision on review
      promptly, and no later than sixty (60) days after the Committee receives
      the Claimant's written request for a review of the denial of the claim. If
      the Committee determines that special circumstances require an extension
      of time for processing the claim, written notice of the extension shall be
      furnished to the Claimant prior to the termination of the initial sixty
      (60) day period. In no event shall such extension exceed a period of sixty
      (60) days from the end of the initial period. The extension notice shall
      indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the
      date by which the Committee expects to render the benefit determination.
      In rendering its decision, the Committee shall take into account all
      comments, documents, records and other information submitted by the
      Claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information
      was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination. The
      decision must be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the
      Claimant, and it must contain:

      (a)   specific reasons for the decision;

      (b)   specific reference(s) to the pertinent Plan provisions upon which
            the decision was based;

      (c)   a statement that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request
            and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of, all
            documents, records and other information relevant (as defined in
            applicable ERISA regulations) to the Claimant's claim for benefits;
            and

      (d)   a statement of the Claimant's right to bring a civil action under
            ERISA Section 502(a).

14.5  LEGAL ACTION. A Claimant's compliance with the foregoing provisions of
      this Article 14 is a mandatory prerequisite to a Claimant's right to
      commence any legal action with respect to any claim for benefits under
      this Plan.

                                   ARTICLE 15
                                      TRUST

15.1  ESTABLISHMENT OF THE TRUST. In order to provide assets from which to
      fulfill the obligations of the Participants and their beneficiaries under
      the Plan, the Company may establish a trust by a trust agreement with a
      third party, the trustee, to which each Employer may, in its discretion,
      contribute cash or other property to provide for the benefit payments
      under the Plan, (the "Trust").

15.2  INTERRELATIONSHIP OF THE PLAN AND THE TRUST. The provisions of the Plan
      and the Plan Agreement shall govern the rights of a Participant to receive
      distributions pursuant to the Plan. The provisions of the Trust shall
      govern the rights of the Employers, Participants and the creditors of the
      Employers to the assets

                                       24
<PAGE>

      transferred to the Trust. Each Employer shall at all times remain liable
      to carry out its obligations under the Plan.

15.3  DISTRIBUTIONS FROM THE TRUST. Each Employer's obligations under the Plan
      may be satisfied with Trust assets distributed pursuant to the terms of
      the Trust, and any such distribution shall reduce the Employer's
      obligations under this Plan.

                                   ARTICLE 16
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

16.1  STATUS OF PLAN. The Plan is intended to be a plan that is not qualified
      within the meaning of Code Section 401(a) and that "is unfunded and is
      maintained by an employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred
      compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated
      employees" within the meaning of ERISA Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and
      401(a)(1). The Plan shall be administered and interpreted to the extent
      possible in a manner consistent with that intent.

16.2  UNSECURED GENERAL CREDITOR. Participants and their Beneficiaries, heirs,
      successors and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, interests
      or claims in any property or assets of an Employer. For purposes of the
      payment of benefits under this Plan, any and all of an Employer's assets
      shall be, and remain, the general, unpledged unrestricted assets of the
      Employer. An Employer's obligation under the Plan shall be merely that of
      an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future.

16.3  EMPLOYER'S LIABILITY. An Employer's liability for the payment of benefits
      shall be defined only by the Plan and the Plan Agreement, as entered into
      between the Employer and a Participant. An Employer shall have no
      obligation to a Participant under the Plan except as expressly provided in
      the Plan and his or her Plan Agreement.

16.4  NONASSIGNABILITY. Neither a Participant nor any other person shall have
      any right to commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage
      or otherwise encumber, transfer, hypothecate, alienate or convey in
      advance of actual receipt, the amounts, if any, payable hereunder, or any
      part thereof, which are, and all rights to which are expressly declared to
      be, unassignable and non-transferable. No part of the amounts payable
      shall, prior to actual payment, be subject to seizure, attachment,
      garnishment or sequestration for the payment of any debts, judgments,
      alimony or separate maintenance owed by a Participant or any other person,
      be transferable by operation of law in the event of a Participant's or any
      other person's bankruptcy or insolvency or be transferable to a spouse as
      a result of a property settlement or otherwise.

16.5  NOT A CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT. The terms and conditions of this Plan shall
      not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between any Employer
      and the Participant. Such employment is hereby acknowledged to be an "at
      will" employment relationship that can be terminated at any time for any
      reason, or no reason, with or without cause, and with or without notice,
      unless expressly provided in a written employment agreement. Nothing in
      this Plan shall be deemed to give a Participant the right to be retained
      in the service of any Employer as an Employee or to interfere with the
      right of any Employer to discipline or discharge the Participant at any
      time.

                                       25

16.6  FURNISHING INFORMATION. A Participant or his or her Beneficiary will
      cooperate with the Committee by furnishing any and all information
      requested by the Committee and take such other actions as may be requested
      in order to facilitate the administration of the Plan and the payments of
      benefits hereunder, including but not limited to taking such physical
      examinations as the Committee may deem necessary.

16.7  TERMS. Whenever any words are used herein in the masculine, they shall be
      construed as though they were in the feminine in all cases where they
      would so apply; and whenever any words are used herein in the singular or
      in the plural, they shall be construed as though they were used in the
      plural or the singular, as the case may be, in all cases where they would
      so apply.

16.8  CAPTIONS. The captions of the articles, sections and paragraphs of this

16.14 INCOMPETENT. If the Committee determines in its discretion that a benefit
      under this Plan is to be paid to a minor, a person declared incompetent or
      to a person incapable of handling the disposition of that person's
      property, the Committee may direct payment of such benefit to the
      guardian, legal representative or person having the care and custody of
      such minor, incompetent or incapable person. The Committee may require
      proof of minority, incompetence, incapacity or guardianship, as it may
      deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit. Any payment of a

      as the case may be, shall be the sole owner and beneficiary of any such
      insurance. The Participant shall have no interest whatsoever in any such
      policy or policies, and at the request of the Employers shall submit to
      medical examinations and supply such information and execute such
      documents as may be required by the insurance company or companies to whom
      the Employers have applied for insurance.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT, dated as of November
1, 2002 between REVLON CONSUMER PRODUCTS CORPORATION, a Delaware
corporation ("RCPC" and, together with its
parent Revlon, Inc. and its subsidiaries, the
"Company"), and Robert K. Kretzman (the
"Executive").

RCPC wishes to continue
the employment of the Executive with the Company, and the Executive
wishes to accept continued employment with the Company on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement.

Accordingly, RCPC and
the Executive hereby agree as follows:

1.    Employment,
Duties and Acceptance.

1.1    Employment,
Duties. RCPC hereby employs the Executive for the Term (as defined
in Section  2.1) to render exclusive and full-time services to
the Company as chief legal officer of Revlon, Inc. and its
subsidiaries, and to perform such other duties consistent therewith as
may be assigned to the Executive from time to time. The
Executive's title shall be Senior Vice President and General
Counsel, Revlon, Inc. or such other title of at least equivalent level
consistent with the Executive's duties from time to time as may
be assigned to the Executive. The Executive shall be a member of the
Operating Committee or such other committee of the Company's most
senior executives as may succeed the Operating Committee from time to
time and report to the President and Chief Executive Officer of Revlon,
Inc. or his designee.

1.2    Acceptance. The
Executive hereby accepts such employment and agrees to render the
services described above. During the Term, the Executive agrees to
serve the Company faithfully and to the best of the Executive's
ability, to devote the Executive's entire business time, energy
and skill to such employment, and to use the Executive's best
efforts, skill and ability to promote the Company's
interests.

1.3    Location. The duties to be
performed by the Executive hereunder shall be performed primarily at
the office of RCPC in the New York City metropolitan area, subject to
reasonable travel requirements consistent with the nature of the
Executive's duties from time to time on behalf of the
Company.

2.    Term of Employment; Certain Post-Term
Benefits.

2.1    The Term. The term of
the Executive's employment under this Agreement (the
"Term") shall commence on the date hereof
(the "Effective Date") and shall end on such
date as is provided pursuant to Section 2.2.

2.2    End-of-Term Provisions. At any time after
on or after December 31, 2005, RCPC shall have the right to give
written notice of non-extension of the Term. In the event RCPC gives
such notice of non-extension, the Term automatically shall end on the
second anniversary of the date on which RCPC give such notice. If RCPC
shall not theretofore have given such notice, from and after December
31, 2005 unless and until RCPC gives written notice of non-extension as
provided in this Section 2.2, the Term automatically shall be extended
day-by-day; upon the giving of such notice by RCPC, the Term
automatically shall be extended so that it ends on the second
anniversary of the date on which RCPC gives such notice. The giving of
such notice shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by
RCPC for purposes of Section 4.4. During any period that the
Executive's employment shall continue following expiration of the
Term, the Executive shall be eligible for severance on terms no less
favorable than those of the Revlon Executive Severance Policy as in
effect on January 1, 2002 (the "Executive Severance
Policy"), provided that in no event shall the severance
and benefit continuation be less than 24 months, upon the
Executive's compliance with the terms thereof, and the Executive
shall be deemed to be an employee at will.

2.3    Special Curtailment. The Term shall end
earlier than the date provided in Section 2.2, if sooner terminated
pursuant to Section 4.

3.    Compensation;
Benefits.

3.1    Salary. As compensation
for all services to be rendered pursuant to this Agreement, the Company
agrees to pay the Executive during the Term a base salary, payable
bi-weekly in arrears, at the 

annual rate of not less than in effect on the
Effective Date (the "Base Salary"). All
payments of Base Salary or other compensation hereunder shall be less
such deductions or withholdings as are required by applicable law and
regulations. In the event that RCPC, in its sole discretion, from time
to time determines to increase the Base Salary, such increased amount
shall, from and after the effective date of the increase, constitute
"Base Salary" for purposes of this Agreement
and shall not thereafter be decreased.

3.2    Bonus. In addition to the amounts to be
paid to the Executive pursuant to Section 3.1, the Executive shall be
eligible to receive a maximum annual bonus with respect to each year
during the Term commencing with 2002 equal to 100% of Base
Salary at the rate or rates in effect during the year for which bonus
is earned, with a target bonus equal to 50% of Base Salary,
based upon achievement of objectives set annually not later than March
31 of such year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Executive's employment shall end pursuant to Section 4.2 or 4.4
at any time during the Term, the Executive's bonus with respect
to the calendar year in which the termination occurs shall be an amount
equal to the bonus that would have been payable to the Executive with
respect to such year if the Executive had remained employed to the date
for payment of bonuses under such Plan, multiplied by a fraction of
which the numerator is the number of days of the Term during such year
and the denominator is 365, and if the Executive's employment
shall end pursuant to Section 4.4 on or after the occurrence of a
Triggering Event, the Executive's bonus with respect to the
calendar year in which the termination occurs shall be an amount equal
to the greater of the full year bonus that would have been payable to
the Executive as above described or the Executive's full year
target bonus, in either case without proration, notwithstanding any
contrary provision of any plan. As used herein,
"Triggering Event" shall mean the first to
occur of any of the following:

(i)    a merger of or
combination involving Revlon, Inc. or RCPC or any parent thereof other
than a merger or combination in which more than 50% in voting
power of the voting securities of the surviving or resulting
corporation or other entity outstanding immediately after such
transaction is beneficially owned (as such term is defined in Section
13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) by persons
who beneficially owned outstanding voting securities of Revlon, Inc.
immediately prior to such transaction, or the execution of a definitive
agreement for such a merger or combination, provided the same is in
fact consummated;

(ii)    the adoption of a Plan
contemplating the liquidation of all or substantially all of the
business and assets of the Company;

(iii)    a sale or
other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company or of the business unit to which the Executive's services
are at the time dedicated, if any, whether for cash, securities or
other property, other than to a corporation or other entity in which
more than 50% in voting power of the outstanding voting
securities outstanding immediately after such transaction is
beneficially owned by persons who beneficially owned outstanding voting
securities of Revlon, Inc. immediately prior to such transaction, or
the execution of a definitive agreement for such a sale or other
disposition provided the same is in fact consummated; or

(iv)    more than 50% of the voting power of the
outstanding voting securities of Revlon, Inc. becomes beneficially
owned, directly or indirectly, by one person or more than one person
acting as a group other than the current beneficial owner of the
ultimate parent company of Revlon, Inc.

3.3    Stock
Options. The Executive shall be recommended to the Compensation
Committee or other committee of the Board administering the Revlon,
Inc. Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Plan or any plan that may replace
it, as from time to time in effect, to receive an award of stock
options, restricted shares or other awards each year of the Term
commencing with the year 2004, at levels and on terms substantially the
same as other senior executives of the Executive's level,
provided that if the Term is to end pursuant to Section 2.2 otherwise
than at a calendar year end, the Company shall not be required to
recommend that the stock option to be granted to the Executive with
respect to such final year of the Term cover more than that number of
shares that is the product of multiplying the annual grant provided for
above by a fraction of which the numerator is the number of days of the
Term during such final year and the denominator is 365, and provided
further that this Section 3.3 shall not apply following a Triggering
Event. If prior to the end of the Term, the Company shall terminate the
Executive other than 

2

for Cause pursuant to Section 4.3, or the
Executive shall terminate this employment pursuant to Section 4.4, or
if the Company shall provide notice of non renewal of the Term on or
after December 31, 2005, each option award and each Restricted Share
award held by the Executive as of the Effective Date of this Agreement,
including the award granted September 17, 2002 (collectively the
"Existing Options and Restricted Share
awards") shall continue to vest in accordance with its
terms and shall remain exercisable for one year following the later of
the date of termination of employment of Executive or the date that all
Existing Options and Restricted Share awards become fully vested and
exercisable.

3.4    Business Expenses. RCPC shall pay
or reimburse the Executive for all reasonable expenses actually
incurred or paid by the Executive during the Term in the performance of
the Executive's services under this Agreement, subject to and in
accordance with the Company's applicable expense reimbursement
and related policies and procedures as in effect from time to time.

3.5    Vacation. During each year of the Term, the
Executive shall be entitled to a vacation period or periods in
accordance with the vacation policy of the Company as in effect from
time to time, but not less than the Executive's current
entitlement of four weeks.

3.6    Fringe
Benefits.

(i)    During the Term, the Executive
shall be entitled to continue to participate in those qualified and
non-qualified defined benefit, defined contribution, insurance, medical
(including the Revlon Executive Supplemental Medical Plan), dental,
disability and other benefit plans and programs of the Company as from
time to time in effect (or their successors) in which the Executive
participated on the date hereof and in such other plans and programs as
may be made available to senior executives of the Company of the
Executive's level generally. In addition, during the Term the
Company shall provide to the Executive an automobile of a class
appropriate to the Executive's grade from time to time (but in
any event with an invoice price (excluding taxes and dealer preparation
charges) of not less than $44,000) pursuant to the Company's
executive automobile program including all operating costs thereof,
insurance, maintenance and parking, and the Executive shall be entitled
to reimbursement for tax preparation and financial counseling services
and health club membership with annual maximums at least comparable to
those currently in effect.

(ii)    During the Term,
RCPC shall provide Executive, at no cost to Executive, with additional
life insurance (in excess of the basic life insurance of two times
Executive's Base Salary provided to employees at no cost) of two
times Executive's Base Salary. Notwithstanding any limitations in
the qualified and/or non-qualified defined benefit pension plans,
Executive shall be entitled to receive a defined pension benefit at
retirement at age 62 as if Executive had elected retirement at age 65
(that is without reduction by reason of early retirement at age
62).

4.    Termination.

4.1    Death. If the Executive shall die during
the Term, the Term shall terminate and no further amounts or benefits
shall be payable hereunder except pursuant to life insurance and
qualified and non-qualified pension benefits provided under Section
3.6.

4.2    Disability. If during the Term
the Executive shall become physically or mentally disabled, whether
totally or partially, such that the Executive is unable to perform the
Executive's services hereunder for (i) a period of six
consecutive months or (ii)   shorter periods aggregating six
months during any twelve month period, RCPC may at any time after the
last day of the six consecutive months of disability or the day on
which the shorter periods of disability shall have equaled an aggregate
of six months, by written notice to the Executive (but before the
Executive has returned to active service following such disability),
terminate the Term and no further amounts or benefits shall be payable
hereunder except as provided in Section 3.6 and except that the
Executive shall be entitled to receive until the first to occur of (x)
the Executive ceasing to be disabled or (y) the Executive attaining age
65, continued coverage for the Executive under the life insurance
provided under Section 3.6 and continued medical and dental coverage
(including the executive medical plan) for the Executive and his
immediate family to the extent permitted by such plans and to the
extent such benefits are provided to the Company's actively
employed senior executive generally.

4.3    Cause. RCPC may at any time by written
notice to the Executive terminate the Term for
"Cause" and, upon such termination, the
Executive shall be entitled to receive no further amounts or

3

benefits hereunder, except as required by law.
As used herein the term "Cause" shall mean
gross neglect by the Executive of the Executive's duties
hereunder, conviction of the Executive of any felony, conviction of the
Executive of any lesser crime or offense involving the property of the
Company or any of its affiliates, willful misconduct by the Executive
in connection with the performance of the Executive's duties
hereunder or other material breach by the Executive of this
Agreement.

4.4    Company Breach; Other
Termination. The Executive shall be entitled to terminate the Term
and the Executive's employment upon 60 days' prior written
notice in the event that (i) RCPC materially breaches any of its
obligations hereunder, (ii) a material adverse change in the position,
title or reporting structure of the Executive, or (iii) a relocation of
Revlon, Inc.'s headquarters outside the New York metropolitan
area or the relocation of the Executive's principal place of
employment to any location other than such headquarters provided the
Company shall fail to cure any such event described in (i), (ii) or
(iii) within 30 days after such notice; or that at any time prior to a
Triggering Event the Compensation Committee (or other appropriate
Committee) of the Board of Directors of Revlon, Inc. shall fail to
grant awards pursuant to Section 3.3. In addition, the Executive shall
be entitled to terminate the Term and the Executive's employment
upon 60 days' prior written notice to RCPC for "Good
Reason". As used herein, the term "Good
Reason" shall mean any of the following occurring
following a Triggering Event which is not agreed to in writing by the
Executive: (a) a substantial adverse change in the Executive's
assigned responsibilities, (b) a relocation of the Executive's
principal place of business to a location which increases the
Executive's round-trip commutation by more than 50 miles, (c)
failure of the Executive to continue participation in bonus, salary
review and equity incentive (or equivalent cash incentive) plans and
programs at least substantially equivalent to those provided to the
Executive prior to the Triggering Event or (d) the failure of the
Executive to participate in all material employee benefit plans and
fringe benefit arrangements on substantially the same basis as like
executives of the major business Unit of which the Executive is a
party, provided however that none of the foregoing events shall
constitute "Good Reason" unless within 30
days after obtaining actual knowledge of such event the Executive gives
written notice to the Company of the Executive's intention to
resign, specifically identifying the event constituting Good Reason
therefor, and the Company shall fail to cure such event within 30 days
after such notice. In addition, RCPC shall be entitled to terminate the
Term and the Executive's employment at any time and without prior
notice otherwise than pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.3. In
consideration of the Executive's covenant in Section 5.2, upon
termination under this Section 4.4 by the Executive, or in the event
RCPC so terminates the Term pursuant to this Section 4.4, RCPC agrees,
and the Company's sole obligation arising from such termination
(except as otherwise provided in Section 3.6) shall be (at the
Executive's election by written notice within 10 days after such
termination), for RCPC either

(i)    to make the
payment in lieu of bonus prescribed by Section 3.2 and to continue
payments in lieu of Base Salary in the amounts prescribed by Section
3.1 and continue the Executive's participation in the group life
insurance and in the medical and dental plans of the Company in which
the Executive was entitled to participate pursuant to Section 3.6 (in
each case less amounts required by law to be withheld) through the date
on which the Term would have expired pursuant to Section 2.2, if RCPC
had given notice of non-extension of the Term on or as promptly as
permitted by Section 2.2 after the date of termination of employment,
provided that such benefit continuation is subject to the terms of such
plans, provided further that such group life insurance continuation is
subject to a limit of two years pursuant to the terms thereof, provided
further that the Executive shall cease to be covered by medical and/or
dental plans of the Company at such time as the Executive becomes
covered by like plans of another company, and provided finally that the
Executive shall, as a condition, execute such release, confidentiality,
non-competition and other covenants as would be required in order for
the Executive to receive payments and benefits under the Policy
referred to in clause (ii) below, or

(ii)    to make
the payments and provide the benefits prescribed by the Executive
Severance Policy other than any provision such as Paragraph IIC(ii)
establishing a limit of six months on the lump sum payment provided for
therein, which shall not be applicable to the Executive, upon the
Executive's compliance with the terms thereof, provided that in
no event shall the severance period be less than 24 months.

If such termination of employment shall occur prior to a
Triggering Event, any compensation earned by the Executive from other
employment or a consultancy shall reduce the payments required pursuant
to 

4

clause (i) above or shall be governed by the
terms of the Executive Severance Policy as modified by the foregoing in
the case of clause (ii) above, but if the Executive's termination
of employment shall occur following a Triggering Event, the Executive
shall have no duty to mitigate by seeking other employment or otherwise
and no compensation earned by the Executive from other employment or a
consultancy shall reduce the payments provided for by clause (i) or
(ii).

4.5    Section 280G.

4.5.1    If it shall be determined by the firm of Ernst
& Young (or if such firm shall be unable to serve, by another
so-called Big 5 accounting firm selected by such firm)
("E&Y") that there is not substantial
authority to support the deductibility for federal income tax purposes
of one or more payments or benefits due to the Executive, pursuant to
this Agreement or otherwise, by reason of section 280G of the Internal
Revenue Code as amended (the "Code") or any
successor provisions, then RCPC shall reduce the payment in lieu of
bonus provided for in Section 3.2 and then the payments in lieu of Base
Salary provided for in Section 4.4 (said reductions to be applied in
inverse order against the last payments otherwise due) to the extent
necessary to avoid or, if full avoidance is not possible by such
reductions, to minimize, the loss of deductions described above,
provided that (a) except as specified in clause (b) below, such
reductions shall not exceed the amount of (i) payments or benefits due
solely as a result of this Agreement (and not as a result of the
Executive's participation in any incentive or benefit plan or
arrangement applicable to the Executive without regard to this
Agreement), (ii) benefits arising from the grant of options to the
Executive effective May 10, 1999 or thereafter, and (iii) benefits
arising from the acceleration to February 12, 2000 of the
exercisability of the stock options granted to the Executive effective
February 12, 1999 (and not as a result of the grant of such stock
options), provided that (b) such reductions shall exceed the amount
specified in clause (a) above if and to the extent that E&Y
determines that on an after-tax basis a further reduction pursuant to
this clause (b) is more favorable to the Executive than foregoing such
further reduction. The parties agree that all income tax returns filed
for the periods affected by the foregoing shall be filed on a basis
consistent with the determinations of E&Y pursuant hereto, and that
the determinations of E&Y with respect to the foregoing shall be
final and binding and not subject to judicial or other review (except
by E&Y at its own instance before or after any filing). RCPC shall
pay all fees and charges of E&Y in connection with this Section
4.5.

4.5.2    The parties acknowledge that as a result
of uncertainty in the application of Section 280G of the Code at the
time of any determination by E&Y pursuant to Section 4.5.1, it is
possible that amounts will be paid or distributed by RCPC to or for the
benefit of the Executive which the parties intended under Section 4.5.1
not to have been paid or distributed (an
"Overpayment") or that amounts will not be
paid or distributed by RCPC to or for the benefit of the Executive that
the parties intended under Section 4.5.1 to have been paid or
distributed (an "Underpayment"). In the event
that E&Y (based upon the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal
Revenue Service against RCPC or its affiliates or against the Executive
or at E&Y's own instance before or after any filing or
deficiency) determines that an Overpayment or an Underpayment has been
made, such amount shall be treated for all purposes as a loan by RCPC
(in the case of an Overpayment) or by the Executive (in the case of an
Underpayment) to the other party which shall, promptly following notice
of such determination by E&Y, be repaid together with interest at
the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the
Code, provided however that to the extent that any Overpayment would
result in a reduction of payments or benefits other than those referred
to in subclauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 4.5.1(a), such loan
shall be deemed made and the Executive shall be required to repay the
same only to the extent that E&Y determines that on an after-tax
basis such loan and repayment pursuant to this Section 4.5.2 is more
favorable to the Executive than foregoing such loan and repayment, and
provided further that no loan shall be deemed to have been made and no
amount shall be required to be repaid pursuant to this Section 4.5.2 to
the extent that in the opinion of counsel to the Company such loan and
repayment would not either reduce the amount on which the Executive is
subject to excise tax or increase the amount of payments that are
deductible by the Company in relation to Section 280G of the Code.

4.5    Litigation Expenses. If RCPC and the
Executive become involved in any action, suit or proceeding relating to
the alleged breach of this Agreement by RCPC or the Executive, then if
and to the extent that a final judgment in such action, suit or
proceeding is rendered in favor of the Executive, RCPC shall reimburse
the Executive for all expenses (including reasonable attorneys'
fees) incurred by the 

5

Executive in connection with such action, suit
or proceeding or the portion thereof adjudicated in favor of the
Executive. Such costs shall be paid to the Executive promptly upon
presentation of expense statements or other supporting information
evidencing the incurrence of such expenses.

5.    Protection of Confidential Information;
Non-Competition.

5.1    The Executive
acknowledges that the Executive's services will be unique, that
they will involve the development of Company-subsidized relationships
with key customers, suppliers, and service providers as well as with
key Company employees and that the Executive's work for the
Company has given and will give the Executive access to highly
confidential information not available to the public or competitors,
including trade secrets and confidential marketing, sales, product
development and other data and plans which it would be impracticable
for the Company to effectively protect and preserve in the absence of
this Section 5 and the disclosure or misappropriation of which could
materially adversely affect the Company. Accordingly, the Executive
agrees:

5.1.1    except in the course of performing
the Executive's duties provided for in Section 1.1, not at any
time, whether during or after the Executive's employment with the
Company, to divulge to any other entity or person any confidential
information acquired by the Executive concerning the Company's or
its affiliates' financial affairs or business processes or
methods or their research, development or marketing programs or plans,
any other of its or their trade secrets, any information regarding
personal matters of any directors, officers, employees or agents of the
Company or its affiliates or their respective family members, or any
information concerning the circumstances of the Executive's
employment and any termination of the Executive's employment with
the Company or any information regarding discussions related to any of
the foregoing. The foregoing prohibitions shall include, without
limitation, directly or indirectly publishing (or causing,
participating in, assisting or providing any statement, opinion or
information in connection with the publication of) any diary, memoir,
letter, story, photograph, interview, article, essay, account or
description (whether fictionalized or not) concerning any of the
foregoing, publication being deemed to include any presentation or
reproduction of any written, verbal or visual material in any
communication medium, including any book, magazine, newspaper,
theatrical production or movie, or television or radio programming or
commercial. In the event that the Executive is requested or required to
make disclosure of information subject to this Section 5.1.1 under any
court order, subpoena or other judicial process, the Executive will
promptly notify RCPC, take all reasonable steps requested by RCPC to
defend against the compulsory disclosure and permit RCPC to control
with counsel of its choice any proceeding relating to the compulsory
disclosure. The Executive acknowledges that all information the
disclosure of which is prohibited by this section is of a confidential
and proprietary character and of great value to the Company.

5.1.2    to deliver promptly to the Company on termination
of the Executive's employment with the Company, or at any time
that RCPC may so request, all memoranda, notes, records, reports,
manuals, drawings, blueprints and other documents (and all copies
thereof) relating to the Company's business and all property
associated therewith, which the Executive may then possess or have
under the Executive's control.

5.2    In
consideration of RCPC's covenant in Section 4.4, the Executive
agrees (i) in all respects fully to comply with the terms of the
Employee Agreement as to Confidentiality and Non-Competition referred
to in the Revlon Executive Severance Policy (the
"Non-Competition Agreement"), whether or not
the Executive is a signatory thereof, with the same effect as if the
same were set forth herein in full, and (ii) in the event that the
Executive shall terminate the Executive's employment otherwise
than as provided in Section 4.4, the Executive shall comply with the
restrictions set forth in paragraph 9(e) of the Non-Competition
Agreement through the earliest date on which the Term would have
expired pursuant to Section 2.2 if RCPC had given notice of
non-extension of the Term on the date of termination of employment,
subject only to the Company continuing to make payments equal to the
Executive's Base Salary during such period, notwithstanding the
limitation otherwise applicable under paragraph 9(d) thereof or any
other provision of the Non-Competition Agreement.

5.3    If the Executive commits a breach of any of the
provisions of Sections 5.1 or 5.2 hereof, RCPC shall have the following
rights and remedies:

6

5.3.1    the right and remedy to
immediately terminate all further payments and benefits provided for in
this Agreement, except as may otherwise be required by law in the case
of qualified benefit plans,

5.3.2    the right and
remedy to have the provisions of this Agreement specifically enforced
by any court having equity jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and
agreed that any such breach will cause irreparable injury to the
Company and that money damages and disgorgement of profits will not
provide an adequate remedy to the Company, and, if the Executive
attempts or threatens to commit a breach of any of the provisions of
Sections 5.1 or 5.2, the right and remedy to be granted a preliminary
and permanent injunction in any court having equity jurisdiction
against the Executive committing the attempted or threatened breach (it
being agreed that each of the rights and remedies enumerated above
shall be independent of the others and shall be severally enforceable,
and that all of such rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and
not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to RCPC under
law or in equity), and

5.3.3    the right and remedy
to require the Executive to account for and pay over to the Company all
compensation, profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits
(collectively "Benefits") derived or received
by the Executive as the result of any transactions constituting a
breach of any of the provisions of Sections 5.1 or 5.2 hereof, and the
Executive hereby agrees to account for and pay over such Benefits as
directed by RCPC.

5.4    If any of the covenants
contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3, or any part thereof, hereafter
are construed to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall not affect
the remainder of the covenant or covenants, which shall be given full
effect, without regard to the invalid portions.

5.5    If any of the covenants contained in Sections 5.1
or 5.2, or any part thereof, are held to be unenforceable because of
the duration of such provision or the area covered thereby, the parties
agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to
reduce the duration and/or area of such provision so as to be
enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and, in
its reduced form, said provision shall then be enforceable.

5.6    The parties hereto intend to and hereby confer
jurisdiction to enforce the covenants contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2
and 5.3 upon the courts of any state within the geographical scope of
such covenants. In the event that the courts of any one or more of such
states shall hold such covenants wholly unenforceable by reason of the
breadth of such covenants or otherwise, it is the intention of the
parties hereto that such determination not bar or in any way affect
RCPC's right to the relief provided above in the courts of any
other states within the geographical scope of such covenants as to
breaches of such covenants in such other respective jurisdictions, the
above covenants as they relate to each state being for this purpose
severable into diverse and independent covenants.

5.7    Any termination of the Term or the
Executive's employment shall have no effect on the continuing
operation of this Section 5.

6.    Inventions and
Patents.

6.1    The Executive agrees that all
processes, technologies and inventions (collectively,
"Inventions"), including new contributions,
improvements, ideas and discoveries, whether patentable or not,
conceived, developed, invented or made by him during the Term shall
belong to the Company, provided that such Inventions grew out of the
Executive's work with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates, are related in any manner to the business (commercial or
experimental) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates
or are conceived or made on the Company's time or with the use of
the Company's facilities or materials. The Executive shall
further: (a)  promptly disclose such Inventions to the Company;
(b) assign to the Company, without additional compensation, all patent
and other rights to such Inventions for the United States and foreign
countries; (c) sign all papers necessary to carry out the foregoing;
and (d) give testimony in support of the Executive's
inventorship.

6.2    If any Invention is described in
a patent application or is disclosed to third parties, directly or
indirectly, by the Executive within two years after the termination of
the Executive's employment with the Company, it is to be presumed
that the Invention was conceived or made during the Term.

7

6.3    The Executive agrees that
the Executive will not assert any rights to any Invention as having
been made or acquired by the Executive prior to the date of this
Agreement, except for Inventions, if any, disclosed to the Company in
writing prior to the date hereof.

7.    Intellectual
Property.

Notwithstanding and without limitation of Section
6, the Company shall be the sole owner of all the products and proceeds
of the Executive's services hereunder, including, but not limited
to, all materials, ideas, concepts, formats, suggestions, developments,
arrangements, packages, programs and other intellectual properties that
the Executive may acquire, obtain, develop or create in connection with
or during the Term, free and clear of any claims by the Executive (or
anyone claiming under the Executive) of any kind or character
whatsoever (other than the Executive's right to receive payments
hereunder). The Executive shall, at the request of RCPC, execute such
assignments, certificates or other instruments as RCPC may from time to
time deem necessary or desirable to evidence, establish, maintain,
perfect, protect, enforce or defend its right, title or interest in or
to any such properties.

8.    Indemnification.

RCPC will defend and indemnify the Executive, to the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law, against all costs, charges and expenses
incurred or sustained by the Executive in connection with any action,
suit or proceeding to which the Executive may be made a party, brought
by any shareholder of the Company directly or derivatively or by any
third party by reason of any act or omission of the Executive as an
officer, director or employee of the Company or of any subsidiary or
affiliate of the Company. In addition, the Executive shall be covered
by RCPC's directors and officer's liability insurance
policy to the same extent as the other senior most executives of
RCPC.

9.    Notices.

All notices, requests,
consents and other communications required or permitted to be given
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly
given if delivered personally, sent by overnight courier or mailed
first class, postage prepaid, by registered or certified mail (notices
mailed shall be deemed to have been given on the date mailed), as
follows (or to such other address as either party shall designate by
notice in writing to the other in accordance herewith):

If to
the Company, to:

Revlon Consumer Products
Corporation
 625 Madison Avenue
 New York, New York 10022

Attention:    Chief Administrative Officer

If to the
Executive, to the Executive's principal residence as reflected in
the records of the Company.

10.    General.

10.1    This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York
applicable to agreements made between residents thereof and to be
performed entirely in New York.

10.2    The section
headings contained herein are for reference purposes only and shall not
in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

10.3    This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and
understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and
supersedes all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings,
written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof. No
representation, promise or inducement has been made by either party
that is not embodied in this Agreement, and neither party shall be
bound by or liable for any alleged representation, promise or
inducement not so set forth.

10.4    This Agreement,
and the Executive's rights and obligations hereunder, may not be
assigned by the Executive, nor may the Executive pledge, encumber or
anticipate any payments or benefits due hereunder, by operation of law
or otherwise. RCPC may assign its rights, together with its
obligations, hereunder (i)  to any affiliate or (ii) to a third
party in connection with any sale, transfer or 

8

other disposition of all or substantially all
of any business to which the Executive's services are then
principally devoted, provided that no assignment pursuant to clause
(ii) shall relieve RCPC from its obligations hereunder to the extent
the same are not timely discharged by such assignee.

10.5    This Agreement may be amended, modified,
superseded, canceled, renewed or extended and the terms or covenants
hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument executed by both of
the parties hereto, or in the case of a waiver, by the party waiving
compliance. The failure of either party at any time or times to require
performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner affect the right
at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by either party of the
breach of any term or covenant contained in this Agreement, whether by
conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to
be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such breach,
or a waiver of the breach of any other term or covenant contained in
this Agreement.

10.6    This Agreement may be executed
in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an
original but all of which together will constitute one and the same
instrument.

11.    Subsidiaries and Affiliates. As
used herein, the term "subsidiary" shall mean
any corporation or other business entity controlled directly or
indirectly by the corporation or other business entity in question, and
the term "affiliate" shall mean and include
any corporation or other business entity directly or indirectly
controlling, controlled by or under common control with the corporation
or other business entity in question.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the
parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first above
written.
