Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), issuable under the Revlon,

Original Plan was amended and restated on December 17, 1996, February 12, 1999,
and again on May 10, 2000. The second amendment and restatement of the Plan,
which became effective April 7, 1999 after the Company's shareholders approved
such amendment and restatement at the Company's 1999 Annual Meeting, increased
the number of shares with respect to which options, restricted stock awards and
performance awards (all awards granted under the Plan being "Awards") may be
granted under the Plan by 2,000,000 so that the maximum aggregate number of
shares with respect to which Awards could be granted under the Plan was
increased to 7,000,000 shares. Such additional 2,000,000 shares were the subject
of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 dated April 14, 1999 (File No.
333-76267) (the "Second Registration Statement"). The third amendment and
restatement of the Plan, which became effective June 1, 2001 after the Company's
shareholders approved such amendment and restatement at the Company's 2001
Annual Meeting, increased the number of shares with respect to which Awards may
be granted under the Plan by 1,500,000 so that the maximum aggregate number of
shares with respect to which Awards can be granted under the Plan is 8,500,000
shares.

         Revlon, Inc., a Delaware  corporation (the "Company"), hereby certifies
that the following resolution was adopted by the Board of Directors of the
Company:

         RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority expressly granted to and
vested in the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors") by
the provisions of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the
Company (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), there is hereby created, out of
the 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the
Company authorized in Article Fourth of the Certificate of Incorporation (the
"Preferred Stock"), a series of the Preferred Stock consisting of 4,333 shares,
which series shall have the following powers, designations, preferences and
relative, participating, optional or other rights, and the following
qualifications, limitations and restrictions (in addition to any powers,
designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights,
and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions, set forth in the
Certificate of Incorporation which are applicable to the Preferred Stock):

    1.   Designation of Amount.
         ----------------------


         The shares of Preferred Stock created hereby shall be designated the
"Series B Convertible Preferred Stock" (the "Series B Preferred Stock") and the
authorized number of shares constituting such series shall be 4,333.


    2.   Ranking; Term.
         --------------

                  a.  The Series B Preferred Stock shall, with respect to rights
         to distributions upon the liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the
         Company, rank senior to all classes of common stock, par value $0.01
         per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock") and to each other class
         or series of capital stock or other equity securities of the Company
         authorized, issued or otherwise established; provided, however, that
         the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B
         Preferred Stock, in accordance with the provisions of Section 7(b)
         hereof, may approve the authorization, issuance or establishment of a
         series of Preferred Stock the terms of which rank on a parity with or
         senior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends and
         distributions upon the liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the
         Company.

         (b) The Series B Preferred Stock shall be perpetual and may not be
redeemed, purchased, retired or otherwise acquired by the Company unless such
redemption, purchase, retirement or other acquisition by the Company


                                       1



is expressly authorized herein and consummated in accordance with the provisions
specified herein; provided, however, that the Company may, with the written
consent of a holder of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, redeem,
purchase, retire or otherwise acquire any or all of the outstanding shares of
Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder.

    3.  Dividends
        ---------


In the event any dividends are declared or paid or any other distribution is
made on or with respect to the Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share,
of the Company ("Class A Common Stock"), the holders of the Series B Preferred
Stock as of the record date established by the Board of Directors for such
dividend or distribution on the Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to
receive dividends (the "Dividends") in an amount (whether in the form of cash,
securities or other property) per share of Series B Preferred Stock, as if the
Series B Preferred Stock had been converted into shares of Class A Common Stock
as of the date immediately prior to the date for determining the holders of
Class A Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, equal to
the amount (and in the form) of the dividends declared or paid or distribution
made on or with respect to each share of Class A Common Stock, such Dividends to
be payable on the same payment date or distribution date as the dividend or
distribution on the Class A Common Stock established by the Board of Directors.
The record date for any such Dividends shall be the record date for the
applicable dividend or distribution on the Class A Common Stock, and any such
Dividends shall be payable to the persons in whose name the Series B Preferred
Stock is registered at the close of business on the applicable record date.

No dividend shall be paid or declared on any share of Class A Common Stock,
unless a dividend, payable in the same consideration and manner, is
simultaneously paid or declared, as the case may be, on each share of Series B
Preferred Stock in an amount determined as set forth in paragraph (a) above. For
purposes hereof, the term "dividends" shall include any pro rata distribution by
the Company of cash, property, securities (including, but not limited to,
rights, warrants or options) or other property or assets to the holders of the
Class A Common Stock, whether or not paid out of capital, surplus or earnings.


                                       2



     4.  Liquidation Preference.
         -----------------------

         In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (a "Liquidation"), the holders of the
Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to receive out of
the available assets of the Company, whether such assets are stated capital or
surplus of any nature, an amount on such date equal to $720.0554 per share of
Series B Preferred Stock plus the amount of any declared but unpaid Dividends as
of such date (the "Liquidation Preference"). Such payment shall be made before
any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of any class
or series of the Common Stock or any other class or series of the Company's
capital stock ranking junior as to liquidation rights to the Series B Preferred
Stock. If upon any Liquidation the assets available for payment of the
Liquidation Preference are insufficient to permit the payment to the holders of
the Series B Preferred Stock of the full preferential amounts described in this
Section 4, then all the available assets shall be distributed among the holders
of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and the then
outstanding shares of capital stock ranking on a parity with the Series B
Preferred Stock as to distributions upon Liquidation, pro rata according to the
number of then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and then
outstanding shares of parity stock held by each holder thereof.

     5.  Optional Redemption by Company.
         -------------------------------

                  a. At any time after thirty (30) days following the Requisite
         Stockholder Approval (as defined herein), the Company may, in
         accordance with the provisions of Section 5(b) hereof, redeem all or
         any part of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock for
         cash at a redemption price equal to the Liquidation Preference thereof
         as of such date.

                  b. In order to exercise its right of optional redemption, the
         Company shall, not more than ninety (90) nor less than sixty (60) days
         prior to the redemption date, give to each holder of record of the
         Series B Preferred Stock, at such holder's address as it shall appear
         upon the stock register of the Company on such date, notice by first
         class mail, postage prepaid. Each such notice of redemption shall be
         irrevocable and shall specify the date that is the redemption date (the
         "Optional Redemption Date"), the redemption price, the identification
         of the shares to be redeemed, the place or places of payment and that
         payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of the
         certificate(s) evidencing the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be
         redeemed.

                  c. The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall retain
         their right to convert such shares pursuant to Section 8 hereof until
         the close of business on the last Business Day preceding the Optional
         Redemption Date.

     6.  Restricted Payments; Status of Redeemed Shares.
         -----------------------------------------------

         (a) After the Optional Redemption Date, unless and until the full
redemption price for the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed has
been paid to, or set aside in trust with a bank or trust company, (i) no
dividends or other distribution shall be paid or declared or set aside for
payment on any capital stock or other securities of the Company (other than
dividends payable in Common Stock), and (ii) no shares of capital stock or other
securities of the Company or any Subsidiary shall be redeemed, retired,
purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any


                                        3



payment made to or available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such
shares) by the Company.

         (b) Any shares of Series B Preferred Stock which shall at any time have
been redeemed pursuant to Section 5 hereof shall, after such redemption, have
the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without
designation as to series.

     7.  Voting Rights.
         --------------

         (a)  The holders of outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock:

                           (i) shall be entitled to vote together with the
                  holders of the Common Stock as a single class on all matters
                  submitted for a vote of holders of Common Stock;

                           (ii) shall have such other voting rights as are
                  specified in the Certificate of Incorporation or as otherwise
                  provided by Delaware law; and

                           (iii) shall be entitled to receive notice of any
                  meeting of the stockholders of the Company in accordance with
                  the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Company.

         For purposes of the voting rights set forth in this Section 7(a), each
share of Series B Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to cast one
vote for each whole vote that such holder would be entitled to cast had such
holder converted its Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Class A Common
Stock as of the date immediately prior to the record date for determining the
stockholders of the Company eligible to vote on any such matter.

         (b) In addition to the other voting rights set forth herein, so long as
any shares of Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company shall
not, without the written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of at least
a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock voting
separately as one class, (i) amend, alter or repeal, whether by merger,
consolidation, combination, reclassification or otherwise, the Certificate of
Incorporation or By-laws of the Company or any provisions thereof (including the
adoption of a new provision thereof) if such amendment, alteration or repeal
would adversely alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the
Series B Preferred Stock, (ii) create, authorize or issue any class, series or
shares of Preferred Stock or any other class or series of capital stock or other
equity securities of the Company ranking either as to payment of dividends or
distribution of assets upon Liquidation (x) prior to the Series B Preferred
Stock or (y) on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock, or (iii) undertake
any action (x) the valid consummation of which would require the approval of the
Company's stockholders pursuant to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or
Bylaws or as required by applicable law and (y) the direct or indirect result of
which would adversely affect or change the rights, preferences or privileges of
the Series B Preferred Stock. The vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of
the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, voting separately as one
class, shall be necessary to adopt any alteration, amendment or repeal of this
Section 7, in addition to any other vote of stockholders required by law.

     8.  Conversion Rights.
         ------------------

                           a. Conversion Upon Obtaining Requisite Stockholder
                  Approval. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions
                  of this Section 8, upon receipt of Requisite Stockholder
                  Approval, each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be
                  convertible into a number of shares of Class A Common Stock


                                        4



                  determined by dividing (x) the Liquidation Preference of such
                  Series B Preferred Stock as of the Conversion Date (as defined
                  herein) by (y) the Conversion Price (as defined herein) in
                  effect at the close of business on the Conversion Date
                  (determined as provided in this Section 8).

                           b. Conversion Price. The conversion price (the
                  "Conversion Price") shall initially be $7.20, subject to
                  adjustment from time to time in accordance with Section 8(c).

                           c. Adjustments to Conversion Price. The number of
                  shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
                  Series B Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from
                  time to time as follows:

                  i. Upon Stock Dividends, Subdivisions or Split -Ups, or
         Combinations. If, at any time after the original date of issuance of
         the Series B Preferred Stock (the "Issue Date"), the number of shares
         of Class A Common Stock outstanding is (x) increased by a stock
         dividend payable in shares of Class A Common Stock or by a subdivision
         or split-up of shares of Class A Common Stock, or (y) decreased by a
         combination of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock into a
         smaller number of shares of Class A Common Stock, then, following the
         record date for the determination of holders of Class A Common Stock
         entitled to receive such stock dividend, or to be affected by such
         subdivision or split-up or combination, the Conversion Price shall be
         appropriately decreased (in the case of a stock dividend, subdivision
         or split-up) or increased (in the case of a combination) so that the
         number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
         Series B Preferred Stock shall be increased (in the case of a stock
         dividend, subdivision or split-up) or decreased (in the case of a
         combination) in proportion to such increase or decrease, as the case
         may be, in outstanding shares.

                  ii. Upon Reclassifications, Reorganizations, Consolidations or
         Mergers. In the event of any capital reorganization of the Company, any
         reclassification of the stock of the Company (other than a change in
         par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par
         value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or
         combination of shares), or any consolidation or merger of the Company
         with or into another corporation (where the Company is not the
         surviving corporation or where there is a change in or distribution
         with respect to the Common Stock), each share of Series B Preferred
         Stock shall after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation
         or merger be convertible into the kind and number of shares of stock or
         other securities or property of the Company or of the successor
         corporation resulting from such consolidation or surviving such merger,
         if any, to which the holder of the number of shares of Class A Common
         Stock deliverable upon conversion of such Series B Preferred Stock (had
         such conversion taken place immediately prior to the time of such
         reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger) would have
         been entitled upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation
         or merger. The provisions of this clause shall similarly apply to
         successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations or
         mergers.

                           d. Fractions of Shares. No fractional shares or scrip
                  representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the
                  conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock. If any such
                  conversion would otherwise require the issuance of a
                  fractional share of Class A Common Stock, an amount equal to
                  such fraction multiplied by the current Market Price (as
                  defined herein) per share of Class A Common Stock on the
                  Conversion Date shall be paid to the holder in cash by the
                  Company.


                                        5



                           e. Exercise of Conversion Privilege. Upon obtaining
                  Requisite Stockholder Approval, the following procedures would
                  apply:

                  (i) To convert shares of Series B Preferred Stock, a holder
         must (A) surrender the certificate or certificates evidencing such
         holder's shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be converted, duly
         endorsed in a form satisfactory to the Company, at the office of the
         Company and (B) notify the Company at such office that such holder
         elects to convert shares of Series B Preferred Stock and the number of
         shares such holder wishes to convert. Such notice (the "Conversion
         Notice") referred to in clause (B) above shall be delivered
         substantially in the following form:


"NOTICE TO EXERCISE CONVERSION RIGHT

         The undersigned, being a holder of the Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock of Revlon, Inc. irrevocably exercises the right to convert ____________
outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock on ___________, ____,
into shares of Class A Common Stock of Revlon, Inc., in accordance with the
terms of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, and directs that
the shares issuable and deliverable upon the conversion be issued and delivered
in the denominations indicated below to the registered holder hereof unless a
different name has been indicated below.

                  (ii)Series B Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been
         converted immediately prior to the close of business on the day (the
         "Conversion Date") of surrender of such shares of Series B Preferred
         Stock for conversion in accordance with the foregoing provisions and at
         such time the rights of


                                        6



         the holders of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock as holder shall
         cease, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Class A Common
         Stock issuable upon conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the
         record holder or holders of such Class A Common Stock as and after such
         time. As promptly as practicable on or after the Conversion Date, the
         Company shall issue and shall deliver at any office or agency of the
         Company maintained for the surrender of Series B Preferred Stock a
         certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common
         Stock issuable upon conversion, together with payment in lieu of any
         fraction of a share, as provided in Section 8(d).

         In the case of any certificate evidencing shares of Series B Preferred
Stock which is converted in part only, upon such conversion the Company shall
execute and deliver a new certificate representing an aggregate number of shares
of Series B Preferred Stock equal to the unconverted portion of such
certificate.

                           f. Company to Reserve Series A Preferred Stock. The
                  Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, out of
                  the authorized but unissued Class A Common Stock or out of the
                  Class A Common Stock held in treasury, for the purpose of
                  effecting the conversion of Series B Preferred Stock, the full
                  number of shares of Class A Common Stock then issuable upon
                  the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred
                  Stock.

         Before taking any action that would cause the number of shares of Class
A Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock to
exceed (when taken together with all other outstanding shares of Class A Common
Stock) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that the Company is
authorized to issue, the Company will take any corporate action that, in the
opinion of its counsel, is necessary in order that the Company may validly and
legally issue the full number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class A
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock.

                           g. Taxes on Conversions. The Company will pay any and
                  all original issuance, transfer, stamp and other similar taxes
                  that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of
                  shares of Class A Common Stock on conversion of Series B
                  Preferred Stock pursuant hereto.

                           h. Cancellation of Converted Series B Preferred
                  Stock. All Series B Preferred Stock delivered for conversion
                  shall be delivered to the Company to be cancelled and shall
                  have the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred
                  Stock, without designation as to series.

                           i. Certain Definitions. The following terms shall
                  have the following respective meanings herein:

                  "Market Price" means, on any date, the amount per share of the
         Class A Common Stock, equal to the closing price on the New York Stock
         Exchange (the "NYSE") on such date as reported by Bloomberg, L.P. (or
         by such other Person as the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and
         the Company may agree).

                  "Person" means an individual or a corporation, partnership,
         trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, limited liability

         of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock or (ii)
         the delivery of an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
         holders of two-thirds of the then outstanding shares of Series B
         Preferred Stock that such approval by stockholders is not required.

be signed by Robert K. Kretzman, its Senior Vice President, General Counsel and
