to any such period which was attributable to Products Corporation), except that Products Corporation was not entitled to carry back any losses to taxable periods ending prior to January 1, 1992. No payments were required by Products Corporation or Revlon, Inc. if and to the extent Products Corporation was prohibited under the terms of its 2004 Credit Agreement from making tax sharing payments to Revlon, Inc. The 2004 Credit Agreement prohibits Products Corporation from making such tax sharing payments under the MacAndrews & Forbes Tax Sharing Agreement other than in respect of state and local income taxes. The MacAndrews & Forbes Tax Sharing Agreement was amended, effective as of January 1, 2001, to eliminate a contingent payment to Revlon, Inc. under certain circumstances in return for a $10 million note with interest at 12% and interest and principal payable by MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings on December 31, 2005. As a result of tax net operating losses and prohibitions under the 2004 Credit Agreement, there were no federal tax payments or payments in lieu of taxes pursuant to the MacAndrews & Forbes Tax Sharing Agreement in respect of 2004, 2003 and 2002.
Following the closing of the Revlon Exchange Transactions, Revlon, Inc. became the parent of a new consolidated group for federal income tax purposes and Products Corporation's federal taxable income and loss will be included in such group's consolidated tax returns. Accordingly, Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation entered into the Revlon Tax Sharing Agreement pursuant to which Products Corporation will be required to pay to Revlon, Inc. amounts equal to the taxes that Products Corporation would otherwise have had to pay if Products Corporation were to file separate federal, state or local income tax returns, limited to the amount, and payable only at such times, as Revlon, Inc. will be required to make payments to the applicable taxing authorities. The 2004 Credit Agreement does not prohibit payments from Products Corporation to Revlon, Inc. to the extent required under the Revlon Tax Sharing Agreement. As a result of tax net operating losses, we expect that there will be no federal tax payments or payments in lieu of taxes by Products Corporation to Revlon, Inc. pursuant to the Revlon Tax Sharing Agreement in respect of 2004.
Pursuant to a lease dated April 2, 1993 (the "Edison Lease"), Revlon Holdings leased to Products Corporation the Edison research and development facility for a term of up to 10 years with an annual rent of $1.4 and certain shared operating expenses payable by Products Corporation which, together with the annual rent, were not to exceed $2.0 per year. In August 1998, Revlon Holdings sold the Edison facility to an unrelated third party, which assumed substantially all liability for environmental claims and compliance costs relating to the Edison facility, and in connection with the sale Products Corporation terminated the Edison Lease and entered into a new lease with the new owner. Revlon Holdings agreed to indemnify Products Corporation through September 1, 2013 (the term of the new lease) to the extent that rent under the new lease exceeds rent that would have been payable under the terminated Edison Lease had it not been terminated. The net amounts reimbursed by Revlon Holdings to Products Corporation with respect to the Edison facility for 2004, 2003 and 2002 were $0.3, $1.1 and $0.2, respectively.
During 2004, 2003 and 2002, Products Corporation leased a small amount of space at certain facilities to MacAndrews & Forbes or its affiliates pursuant to occupancy agreements and leases, including space at Products Corporation's New York headquarters. The rent paid by MacAndrews & Forbes or its affiliates to Products Corporation for 2004, 2003 and 2002 was $0.3, $0.3 and $0.3, respectively.
The 2004 Credit Agreement is, and prior to the redemption of all Product Corporation's outstanding 12% Senior Secured Notes in July and August 2004, the 12% Senior Secured Notes were, supported by, among other things, guaranties from Revlon, Inc. and, subject to certain limited exceptions, all of the domestic subsidiaries of Products Corporation. The obligations under such guaranties are and were secured by, among other things, the capital stock of Products Corporation and, subject to certain limited exceptions, the capital stock of all of Products Corporation's domestic subsidiaries and 66% of the capital stock of Products Corporation's and its domestic subsidiaries' first-tier foreign subsidiaries. In connection
with the Revlon Exchange Transactions, on February 11, 2004, Revlon, Inc. entered into supplemental indentures pursuant to which it agreed to guarantee the obligations of Products Corporation under the indentures governing Products Corporation's 8 1/8% Senior Notes, 9% Senior Notes and 8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes. (See "Subsequent Events" in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)
In March 2002, prior to the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Products Corporation made an advance of $1.8 to Mr. Stahl, the Company's President and CEO, pursuant to his employment agreement, which was entered into in February 2002, for tax assistance related to a grant of restricted stock provided to Mr. Stahl pursuant to such agreement, which loan bears interest at the applicable federal rate. In May 2002, prior to the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Products Corporation made an advance of $2.0 to Mr. Stahl pursuant to his employment agreement in connection with the purchase of his principal residence in the New York City metropolitan area, which loan bears interest at the applicable federal rate. Mr. Stahl repaid $0.1, $0.1 and $0.1 of such loan during 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Stahl receives from Products Corporation additional compensation payable on a monthly basis equal to the amount actually paid by him in respect of interest and principal on such $2.0 advance, which for 2004, 2003 and 2002 was $0.1, $0.1 and $0.1, respectively. Products Corporation also pays Mr. Stahl a gross up for any taxes payable by Mr. Stahl as a result of such additional compensation, which tax gross up amount was $0.1, $0.1 and $0.1 in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
During 2000, prior to the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Products Corporation made an advance of $0.8 to Mr. Douglas Greeff, the Company's former Executive Vice President Strategic Finance, pursuant to his employment agreement, which loan bears interest at the applicable federal rate and was payable in 5 equal annual installments on each of May 9, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, and on May 9, 2005. Mr. Greeff repaid $0.2, $0.2 and $0.2 during 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Greeff was entitled to receive bonuses from Products Corporation, payable on each May 9th commencing on May 9, 2001 and ending on May 9, 2005, in each case equal to the sum of the principal and interest on the advance repaid in respect of such year by Mr. Greeff, provided that he remained employed by Products Corporation on each such May 9th, which bonus installments were paid to Mr. Greeff in each of May 2004, 2003 and 2002. Pursuant to the terms of Mr. Greeff's separation agreement, as a result of the fact that Mr. Greeff ceased employment in February 2005, Mr. Greeff is scheduled to repay the remaining amount of the 2000 Loan by May 9, 2005 and Products Corporation is expected to pay the final bonus installment to Mr. Greeff on or about May 9, 2005.
In February 2002, Products Corporation entered into a separation agreement with Mr. Jeffrey M. Nugent, the Company's former President and CEO, pursuant to which the parties agreed to an offset of obligations whereby Products Corporation canceled Mr. Nugent's obligation to repay principal and interest on a loan in the amount of $0.5 that was made in installments of $0.4 in 1999 and $0.1 in 2000 pursuant to Mr. Nugent's employment agreement, in exchange for the cancellation of Products Corporation's obligation to pay Mr. Nugent a special bonus on January 15, 2003 pursuant to his employment agreement.
During 2004, 2003 and 2002 Products Corporation made payments of $0.4, $0.3 and $0.3, respectively, to Ms. Ellen Barkin (spouse of Mr. Perelman) under a written agreement pursuant to which she provides voiceover services for certain of the Company's advertisements, which payments were competitive with industry rates for similarly situated talent.
The law firm of which Mr. Edward Landau was Of Counsel to and from which he retired in February 2003, Wolf, Block, Schorr and Solis-Cohen LLP, did not provide any legal services to Products Corporation during 2004 or 2003, but did provide such services in 2002. It is anticipated that such firm could continue to provide such services in the future.
Products Corporation employed Mr. Perelman's daughter in a marketing position through June 2004, with compensation paid in each of 2004, 2003 and 2002 of less than $0.1.
Products Corporation employed Mr. Drapkin's daughter in a marketing position through June 2004, with compensation paid in each of 2004, 2003 and 2002 of less than $0.1.
During 2004 and 2003, Products Corporation paid $1.0 and $0.1, respectively, to a nationally-recognized security services company in which MacAndrews & Forbes has a controlling interest for
F-41
security officer services. Products Corporation's decision to engage such firm was based upon its expertise in the field of security services, and the rates were competitive with industry rates for similarly situated security firms.
16. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company currently leases manufacturing, executive, including research and development, and sales facilities and various types of equipment under operating and capital lease agreements. Rental expense was $19.4, $27.2 and $27.5 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Minimum rental commitments under all noncancelable leases, including those pertaining to idled facilities, with remaining lease terms in excess of one year from December 31, 2004 aggregated $151.4; such commitments for each of the five years subsequent to December 31, 2004 are $17.1, $16.5, $18.0, $16.8 and $14.8, respectively. Such amounts exclude the minimum rentals to be received by the Company in the future under noncancelable subleases of $0.3.
The Company and its subsidiaries are defendants in litigation and proceedings involving various matters. In the opinion of the Company's management, based upon advice of its counsel handling such litigation and proceedings, adverse outcomes, if any, will not result in a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
The Company is involved in various routine legal proceedings incident to the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate is unlikely to have a material adverse effect on the business or consolidated financial condition of the Company.

18. Geographic, Financial and Other Information
The Company manages its business on the basis of one reportable operating segment. See Note 1 for a brief description of the Company's business. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had operations established in 16 countries outside of the U.S. and its products are sold throughout the world. The Company's results of operations and the value of its foreign assets and liabilities may be adversely affected by, among other things, weak economic conditions, political uncertainties, military actions, terrorist
F-42
activities, adverse currency fluctuations, competitive activities and changes in consumer purchasing habits, including with respect to shopping channels. Net sales by geographic area are presented by attributing revenues from external customers on the basis of where the products are sold. During 2004, 2003 and 2002, Wal-Mart and its affiliates worldwide accounted for approximately 21.0%, 20.6% and 22.5%, respectively, of the Company's consolidated net sales. The Company expects that Wal-Mart and a small number of other customers will, in the aggregate, continue to account for a large portion of the Company's net sales. Although the loss of Wal-Mart or one or more of the Company's other customers that may account for a significant portion of the Company's sales, or any significant decrease in sales to these customers or any significant decrease in retail display space in any of these customers' stores, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations, the Company has no reason to believe that any such loss of customer or decrease in sales will occur.

19. Subsequent Events (Unaudited)
On March 11, 2005, Products Corporation entered into, and on March 16, 2005 consummated the transactions contemplated by, a Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with certain initial purchasers (the "Initial Purchasers") for the sale of $310 aggregate principal amount of its 9½% Senior Notes due 2011 (the "9½% Senior Notes"). On March 16, 2005, Revlon, Inc. issued a press release announcing that Products Corporation had completed its previously announced offering of $310 aggregate principal amount of the 9½% Senior Notes. The offering and the related transactions extended the maturities of Products Corporation's debt that would have otherwise been due in 2006 and reduced, in part, Products Corporation's exposure to floating rate debt.
Concurrently with the sale of the 9½% Senior Notes, Revlon, Inc. on March 16, 2005 also announced that on April 15, 2005 Products Corporation will redeem all of the $116.2 aggregate principal amount outstanding of its 8 1/8% Senior Notes and all of the $75.5 aggregate principal amount outstanding of its 9% Senior Notes and that it has effected a covenant defeasance of its 8 1/8% Senior Notes and 9% Senior Notes by (i) mailing on March 16, 2005 irrevocable notices of redemption with respect to such notes, and (ii) irrevocably depositing on March 16, 2005 in trust with the trustee under the indentures an amount sufficient to redeem such notes. Revlon, Inc. also indicated that Products Corporation used a portion of the proceeds from the offering (i) to prepay $100 of indebtedness outstanding under the Term Loan Facility of its 2004 Credit Agreement, together with accrued interest and the $5.0 prepayment fee associated with such prepayment, and (ii) to pay a portion of the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions described above (such transactions being referred to as the "2005 Refinancing Transactions").
The 9½% Senior Notes were issued by Products Corporation pursuant to an indenture, dated as of March 16, 2005 (the "9½% Senior Notes Indenture"), by and between Products Corporation and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. Pursuant to the terms of the 9½% Senior Notes Indenture, the 9½% Senior Notes are senior unsecured debt of Products Corporation equal in right of payment with any of Products Corporation's present and future senior indebtedness. The 9½% Senior Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 9½%, which will be payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on October 1, 2005. The 9½% Senior Notes Indenture provides that Products Corporation may redeem the 9½% Senior Notes at its option in whole or in part at any time on or after April 1, 2008, at the redemption prices set forth in the 9½% Senior Notes Indenture. In addition, at any time prior to April 1, 2008, Products Corporation is entitled to redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 9½% Senior Notes at a redemption price of 109.5% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the date fixed for redemption, with, and, to the extent actually received, the net cash proceeds of one or more public equity offerings, provided that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the 9½% Senior Notes originally issued remains outstanding immediately after giving effect to such redemption. In addition, the 9½% Senior Notes Indenture provides that Products Corporation is entitled to redeem the 9½% Senior Notes at any time or from time to time prior to April 1, 2008, at a redemption price per note equal to the sum of (1) the then outstanding principal amount thereof, plus (2) accrued and unpaid interest (if any) to the date of redemption, plus (3) the greater of (i) 1.0% of the then outstanding principal amount of such note at such time and (ii) the excess of (A) the present value at such redemption date of (1) the redemption price of such note on April 1, 2008 (exclusive of any accrued interest) plus (2) all required remaining scheduled interest payments due on such note through April 1, 2008, computed using a discount rate equal to the applicable treasury rate plus 75 basis points, over (B) the then outstanding principal amount of such note at such time. Pursuant to the 9½% Senior Notes Indenture, upon a change of control (as defined in the 9½% Senior Notes Indenture), each holder of the 9½% Senior Notes has the right to require Products Corporation to make an offer to repurchase all or a portion of such holder's 9½% Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of such holder's 9½% Senior Notes plus accrued interest.
The 9½% Senior Notes Indenture contains covenants which, subject to certain exceptions, limit the ability of Products Corporation and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends on or redeem or repurchase stock, engage in certain asset sales, make certain types of
F-44
investments and other restricted payments, engage in transactions with affiliates, restrict dividends or payments from subsidiaries and create liens on their assets. The 9½% Senior Notes Indenture contains customary events of default.
In connection with the issuance of the 9½% Senior Notes, on March 16, 2005, Products Corporation entered into a Registration Agreement (the "9½% Senior Notes Registration Agreement") with the Initial Purchasers for the benefit of holders of the 9½% Senior Notes. Pursuant to the 9½% Senior Notes Registration Agreement, among other things, Products Corporation agreed that it will, at its cost, (i) by the 90th day after the closing of the offering of the 9½% Senior Notes (or June 14, 2005), file a registration statement with the Commission with respect to a registered offer to exchange the 9½% Senior Notes for exchange notes (the "9½% Exchange Notes"), which will have terms substantially identical in all material respects to the 9½% Senior Notes (except that the 9½% Exchange Notes will not contain terms with respect to registration rights, transfer restrictions and interest rate increases) and (ii) by the 180th day after the closing of the offering of the 9½% Senior Notes (or September 12, 2005), use its best efforts to cause the exchange offer registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Products Corporation agreed to keep the exchange offer open for not less than 30 days (or longer if required by applicable law) after the date notice of the exchange offer is mailed to the holders of the 9½% Senior Notes. In addition, Products Corporation agreed that, in the event that applicable interpretations of the staff of the Commission do not permit Products Corporation to effect such an exchange offer, or if for any other reason the exchange offer is not consummated by the 210th day after the closing of the offering of the 9½% Senior Notes (or October 12, 2005), it will, at its cost, (a) as promptly as practicable, file a shelf registration statement covering resales of the 9½% Senior Notes, (b) use its best efforts to cause the shelf registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act and (c) use its best efforts to keep effective the shelf registration statement until two years after its effective date. Products Corporation also agreed that, if by the 90th day following the closing of the offering of the 9½% Senior Notes (or June 14, 2005), a registration statement has not been filed with the Commission with respect to the exchange offer or the resale of the 9½% Senior Notes, the rate per annum at which the 9½% Senior Notes bear interest will increase by 0.5% from and including such date, until but excluding the earlier of (i) the date such registration statement is filed and (ii) the 210th day after the closing of the offering of the 9½% Senior Notes (or October 12, 2005); and if by such date, neither (i) the exchange offer is consummated nor (ii) the shelf registration statement is declared effective, the rate per annum at which the 9½% Senior Notes bear interest will increase by 0.5% from and including such date, until but excluding the earlier of (i) the consummation of the exchange offer and (ii) the effective date of a shelf registration statement.
