ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

         Not Applicable.

ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

         The legality of the shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued in
connection with this Registration Statement will be passed upon by Wade H.
Nichols III, Esq., Executive Vice President and General Counsel of the Company.

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         Set forth below is a description of certain provisions of the Delaware
General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), as well as the Amended and Restated
By-Laws of the Company, as such provisions relate to the indemnification of the
directors and officers of the Company. This description is intended only as a
summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the DGCL and the
Amended and Restated By-Laws which are incorporated herein by reference.

         Article X of the Amended and Restated By-Laws provides that the
Company shall indemnify its officers and directors to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law. Section 145 of the DGCL provides, in general, that
each director and officer may be indemnified against expenses (including
attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement) actually and
reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of any
threatened, pending or completed legal proceedings in which he is involved by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer if he acted in good
faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, if he had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
unlawful. If the legal proceeding, however, is by or in the right of the
Company, the director or officer may not be indemnified in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which he shall have been adjudged to be liable for
negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Company unless a
court determines otherwise.

                                       3

<PAGE>

         Furthermore, Article Fifth of the Company's Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the personal liability of directors to
the Company or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL or (iv) for
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Section 102 of the DGCL permits a Company's certificate of incorporation to
contain these provisions. In addition, Article X, Section 8 of the Amended and
Restated By-Laws provides that the Company may purchase insurance on behalf of
any person who is or was a director or officer of the Company, or who is or was
a director or officer of the Company serving at the request of the Company as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other entity or enterprise against any
liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such
capacity, or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or not the
Company would have the power or the obligation to indemnify such person against
such liability under the provisions of Article X of the Amended and Restated
By-Laws.

ITEM 7.           EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

         Not Applicable.

ITEM 8.           EXHIBITS AND UNDERTAKING.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.

         The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

         (a)(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

                  (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
         the Securities Act;

                  (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
         after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most
         recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
         aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
         in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
         increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
         dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
         registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
         estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
         prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in
         the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than
         20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in
         the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
         registration statement; and

                  (iii) To include any material information with respect to the
         plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
         statement or any material change to such information in the
         registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

         (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

         (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination
of the offering.

         (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act, (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the


                                       5

<PAGE>

registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

         (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.

         The legality of the shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued in

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         Set forth below is a description of certain provisions of the Delaware
General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), as well as the Amended and Restated
By-Laws of the Company, as such provisions relate to the indemnification of the
directors and officers of the Company. This description is intended only as a
summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the DGCL and the
Amended and Restated By-Laws which are incorporated herein by reference.

         Article X of the Amended and Restated By-Laws provides that the
Company shall indemnify its officers and directors to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law. Section 145 of the DGCL provides, in general, that
each director and officer may be indemnified against expenses (including
attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement) actually and
reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of any
threatened, pending or completed legal proceedings in which he is involved by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer if he acted in good
faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, if he had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
unlawful. If the legal proceeding, however, is by or in the right of the
Company, the director or officer may not be indemnified in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which he shall have been adjudged to be liable for
negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Company unless a
court determines otherwise.

                                       3
Furthermore, Article Fifth of the Company's Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the personal liability of directors to
the Company or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL or (iv) for
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Section 102 of the DGCL permits a Company's certificate of incorporation to
contain these provisions. In addition, Article X, Section 8 of the Amended and
Restated By-Laws provides that the Company may purchase insurance on behalf of
any person who is or was a director or officer of the Company, or who is or was
a director or officer of the Company serving at the request of the Company as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other entity or enterprise against any
liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such
capacity, or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or not the
Company would have the power or the obligation to indemnify such person against
such liability under the provisions of Article X of the Amended and Restated
By-Laws.

ITEM 7.           EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

         Not Applicable.

ITEM 8.           EXHIBITS AND UNDERTAKING.

         3.1      Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the
                  Company (Incorporated by reference to Exhibit 3.4 to the

         5        Opinion of Wade H. Nichols III, General Counsel of the

                  registered.

                  opinion filed as Exhibit 5 hereto).

         24.1     Powers of Attorney.

         The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that it will submit or
         has submitted the Revlon Employees' Savings, Investment and Profit
         Sharing Plan and any amendment thereto to the Internal Revenue Service
         ("IRS") in a timely manner and has made or will make all changes
         required by the IRS in order to qualify such plan.

                                            4
ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.

         The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

         (a)(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

                  (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
         the Securities Act;

                  (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
         after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most
         recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
         aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
         in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
         increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
         dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
         registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
         estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
         prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in
         the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than
         20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in
         the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
         registration statement; and

                  (iii) To include any material information with respect to the
         plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
         statement or any material change to such information in the
         registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

         (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

         (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination
of the offering.

         (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act, (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the

                                       5
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

         (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.
