SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995: Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, statements relating to our future revenue, earnings and cash flows, plans, strategies, objectives, expectations and intentions, are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Investors are cautioned that such forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which cannot be predicted with accuracy and some of which might not be anticipated, including, without limitation, (i) our plans, strategies, objectives, expectations and intentions are subject to change at any time at our discretion; (ii) we may be considered to be highly leveraged and we use a significant portion of our cash flows to service our indebtedness, as a result of which we might not have sufficient funds to operate our businesses in the manner we intend or have operated in the past; (iii) the levels of sales of our apparel, footwear and related products, both to our wholesale customers and in our retail stores, the levels of sales of our licensees at wholesale and retail, and the extent of discounts and promotional pricing in which we and our licensees and other business partners are required to engage, all of which can be affected by weather conditions, changes in the economy, fuel prices, reductions in travel, fashion trends, consolidations, repositionings and bankruptcies in the retail industries, repositionings of brands by our licensors, and other factors; (iv) our ability to manage our growth and inventory, including our ability to realize benefits from acquisitions, such as the recently completed acquisition of Gazal Corporation Limited and the pending acquisition of the Tommy Hilfiger retail business in Hong Kong and certain other countries in Central and Southeast Asia from our current licensee in those markets referenced in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q; (v) quota restrictions, the imposition of safeguard controls and the imposition of duties or tariffs on goods from the countries where we or our licensees produce goods under our trademarks, such as the recently increased tariffs and threatened additional tariffs on goods imported into the United States from China, any of which, among other things, could limit the ability to produce products in cost-effective countries or in countries that have the labor and technical expertise needed, or require that we absorb costs or try to pass costs onto consumers, which could materially impact our revenue and profitability; (vi) the availability and cost of raw materials; (vii) our ability to adjust timely to changes in trade regulations and the migration and development of manufacturers (which can affect where our products can best be produced); (viii) changes in available factory and shipping capacity, wage and shipping cost escalation, civil conflict, war or terrorist acts, the threat of any of the foregoing, or political or labor instability in any of the countries where our or our licensees’ or other business partners’ products are sold, produced or are planned to be sold or produced; (ix) disease epidemics and health related concerns, which could result in closed factories, reduced workforces, scarcity of raw materials and scrutiny or embargoing of goods produced in infected areas, as well as reduced consumer traffic and purchasing, as consumers become ill or limit or cease shopping in order to avoid exposure; (x) acquisitions and divestitures and issues arising with acquisitions, divestitures and proposed transactions, including, without limitation, the ability to integrate an acquired entity or business into us with no substantial adverse effect on the acquired entity’s, the acquired business’s or our existing operations, employee relationships, vendor relationships, customer relationships or financial performance, and the ability to operate effectively and profitably our continuing businesses after the sale or other disposal of a subsidiary, business or the assets thereof; (xi) the failure of our licensees to market successfully licensed products or to preserve the value of our brands, or their misuse of our brands; (xii) significant fluctuations of the United States dollar against foreign currencies in which we transact significant levels of business; (xiii) our retirement plan expenses recorded throughout the year are calculated using actuarial valuations that incorporate assumptions and estimates about financial market, economic and demographic conditions, and differences between estimated and actual results give rise to gains and losses, which can be significant, that are recorded immediately in earnings, generally in the fourth quarter of the year; (xiv) the impact of new and revised tax legislation and regulations, particularly the United States Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 that might disproportionately affect us as compared to some of our peers due to our specific tax structure and greater percentage of revenues and income generated outside of the United States, and the legislation enacted in the Netherlands known as the “2019 Dutch Tax Plan”; and (xv) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

We do not undertake any obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statement, including, without limitation, any estimate regarding revenue, earnings or cash flows, whether as a result of the receipt of new information, future events or otherwise.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. GENERAL

PVH Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) constitute a global apparel company with a brand portfolio consisting of nationally and internationally recognized trademarks, including TOMMY HILFIGER, CALVIN KLEIN, Van Heusen, IZOD, ARROW, Warner’s, Olga, True&Co. and Geoffrey Beene, which are owned, and Speedo, which is licensed in perpetuity for North America and the Caribbean, as well as various other owned, licensed and private label brands. The Company designs and markets branded dress shirts, neckwear, sportswear, jeanswear, performance apparel, intimate apparel, underwear, swimwear, swim products, handbags, accessories, footwear and other related products and licenses its owned brands globally over a broad array of product categories and for use in numerous discrete jurisdictions. References to the aforementioned and other brand names are to registered and common law trademarks owned by the Company or licensed to the Company by third parties and are identified by italicizing the brand name.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in entities that the Company does not control but has the ability to exercise significant influence over are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The Company’s Consolidated Income Statements include its proportionate share of the net income or loss of these entities. Please see Note 6, “Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates,” for further discussion. The Company and Arvind Limited (“Arvind”) have a joint venture in Ethiopia, PVH Arvind Manufacturing Private Limited Company (“PVH Ethiopia”), in which the Company owns a 75% interest. PVH Ethiopia is consolidated and the minority shareholder’s proportionate share (25%) of the equity in this joint venture is accounted for as a redeemable non-controlling interest. Please see Note 5, “Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest,” for further discussion.

The Company’s fiscal years are based on the 52-53 week periods ending on the Sunday closest to February 1 and are designated by the calendar year in which the fiscal year commences. References to a year are to the Company’s fiscal year, unless the context requires otherwise.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not contain all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. Reference is made to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 3, 2019.

The preparation of the interim financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

The results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019 and May 6, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year due, in part, to seasonal factors. The data contained in these consolidated financial statements are unaudited and are subject to year-end adjustments. However, in the opinion of management, all known adjustments (which were normal and recurring in nature) have been made to present fairly the consolidated operating results for the unaudited periods.

2. REVENUE

The Company generates revenue primarily from sales of finished products under its owned and licensed trademarks through its wholesale and retail operations. The Company also generates royalty and advertising revenue from licensing the rights to its trademarks to third parties. Revenue is recognized upon the transfer of control of products or services to the Company’s customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those products or services.
Product Sales
The Company generates revenue from the wholesale distribution of its products to traditional retailers (including for sale through their digital commerce sites), pure play digital commerce retailers, franchisees, licensees and distributors. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of goods to the customer, which generally occurs when title to goods is passed and risk of loss transfers to the customer. Depending on the contract terms, transfer of control is upon shipment of goods to or upon receipt of goods by the customer. Payment is typically due within 30 to 90 days. The amount of revenue recognized is net of returns, sales allowances and other discounts that the Company offers to its wholesale customers. The Company estimates returns based

6



on an analysis of historical experience and specific customer arrangements and estimates sales allowances and other discounts based on seasonal negotiations, historical experience and an evaluation of current market conditions.
The Company also generates revenue from the retail distribution of its products through its freestanding stores, shop-in-shop/concession locations and digital commerce sites. Revenue is recognized at the point of sale in the stores and shop-in-shop/concession locations and upon estimated time of delivery for sales through the Company’s digital commerce sites, at which point control of the products passes to the customer. The amount of revenue recognized is net of returns, which are estimated based on an analysis of historical experience.
The Company excludes from revenue taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities related to sales of the Company’s products. Shipping and handling costs that are billed to customers are included in net sales.
Customer Loyalty Programs

The Company uses loyalty programs that offer customers of its retail businesses specified amounts off of future purchases for a specified period of time after certain levels of spending are achieved. Customers that are enrolled in the programs earn loyalty points for each purchase made.
Loyalty points earned under the customer loyalty programs provide the customer a material right to acquire additional products and give rise to the Company having a separate performance obligation. For each transaction where a customer earns loyalty points, the Company allocates revenue between the products purchased and the loyalty points earned based on the relative standalone selling prices. Revenue allocated to loyalty points is recorded as deferred revenue until the loyalty points are redeemed or expire.
Gift Cards
The Company sells gift cards to customers in its retail stores. Gift card purchases by a customer are prepayments for products to be provided by the Company in the future and are therefore considered to be performance obligations of the Company. Upon the purchase of a gift card by a customer, the Company records deferred revenue for the cash value of the gift card. Deferred revenue is relieved and revenue is recognized when the gift card is redeemed by the customer. The portion of gift cards that the Company does not expect to be redeemed (referred to as “breakage”) is recognized proportionately over the estimated customer redemption period, subject to the constraint that it must be probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur, if the Company determines that it does not have a legal obligation to remit the value of such unredeemed gift cards to any jurisdiction.
License Agreements
The Company generates royalty and advertising revenue from licensing the rights to access its trademarks to third parties, including the Company’s joint ventures. The license agreements are generally exclusive to a territory or product category, have terms in excess of one year and, in most cases, include renewal options. In exchange for providing these rights, the license agreements require the licensees to pay the Company a royalty and, in certain agreements, an advertising fee. In both cases, the Company generally receives the greater of (i) a sales-based percentage fee and (ii) a contractual minimum fee for each annual performance period under the license agreement.
In addition to the rights to access its trademarks, the Company provides ongoing support to its licensees over the term of the agreements. As such, the Company’s license agreements are licenses of symbolic intellectual property and, therefore, revenue is recognized over time. For license agreements where the sales-based percentage fee exceeds the contractual minimum fee, the Company recognizes revenues as the licensed products are sold as reported to the Company by its licensees. For license agreements where the sales-based percentage fee does not exceed the contractual minimum fee, the Company recognizes the contractual minimum fee as revenue ratably over the contractual period.
Under the terms of the license agreements, payments are generally due quarterly from the licensees. The Company records deferred revenue when amounts are received or receivable from the licensee in advance of the recognition of revenue.
As of May 5, 2019, the contractual minimum fees on the portion of all license agreements not yet satisfied totaled $1,210.3 million, of which the Company expects to recognize $208.1 million as revenue during the remainder of 2019, $234.6 million in 2020 and $767.6 million thereafter.

Optional Exemptions
The Company elected not to disclose the remaining performance obligations for contracts that have an original expected term of one year or less (e.g., backlog of customer orders) and expected sales-based percentage fees for the portion of all license agreements not yet satisfied.

Please see Note 20, “Segment Data,” for information on the disaggregation of revenue by segment and distribution channel.
3. INVENTORIES

Inventories are comprised principally of finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, except for certain retail inventories in North America that are stated at the lower of cost or market using the retail inventory method. Cost for substantially all wholesale inventories in North America and certain wholesale inventories in Asia is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Cost for all other inventories is determined using the weighted average cost method. The Company reviews current business trends, inventory aging and discontinued merchandise categories to determine adjustments that it estimates will be needed to liquidate existing clearance inventories and record inventories at either the lower of cost or net realizable value or the lower of cost or market using the retail inventory method, as applicable.

4. ACQUISITIONS

Acquisition of the Geoffrey Beene Tradename

The Company acquired on April 20, 2018 the Geoffrey Beene tradename from Geoffrey Beene, LLC (“Geoffrey Beene”). Prior to the acquisition, the Company licensed the rights to design, market and distribute Geoffrey Beene dress shirts and neckwear from Geoffrey Beene.

The tradename was acquired for $17.0 million, consisting of $15.9 million paid in cash, $0.7 million of royalties prepaid to Geoffrey Beene by the Company under the license agreement, and $0.4 million of liabilities assumed by the Company. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition.

5. REDEEMABLE NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST

The Company owns a 75% interest in the PVH Ethiopia joint venture between the Company and Arvind. The Company consolidates PVH Ethiopia in its consolidated financial statements. PVH Ethiopia was formed to operate a manufacturing facility that produces finished products for the Company for distribution primarily in the United States.

The shareholders agreement governing PVH Ethiopia (the “Shareholders Agreement”) contains a put option under which Arvind can require the Company to purchase all of its shares in the joint venture during various future periods as specified in

8



the Shareholders Agreement. The first such period immediately precedes the ninth anniversary of PVH Ethiopia’s date of incorporation. The Shareholders Agreement also contains call options under which the Company can require Arvind to sell to the Company (i) all or a portion of its shares during various future periods as specified in the Shareholders Agreement; (ii) all of its shares in the event of a change of control of Arvind; or (iii) all of its shares in the event that Arvind ceases to hold at least 10% of the outstanding shares. The Company’s first call option referred to in clause (i) immediately follows the fifth anniversary of the date of incorporation of PVH Ethiopia. The put and call prices are the fair market value of the shares on the redemption date based upon a multiple of PVH Ethiopia’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for the prior 12 months, less PVH Ethiopia’s net debt.

The fair value of the redeemable non-controlling interest (“RNCI”) as of the date of formation of PVH Ethiopia was $0.1 million. The carrying amount of the RNCI is adjusted to equal the redemption amount at the end of each reporting period, provided that this amount at the end of each reporting period cannot be lower than the initial fair value adjusted for the minority shareholder’s share of net income or loss. Any adjustment to the redemption amount of the RNCI is determined after attribution of net income or loss of the RNCI and will be recognized immediately in retained earnings of the Company, since it is probable that the RNCI will become redeemable in the future based on the passage of time. The carrying amount of the RNCI as of May 5, 2019 was $(0.2) million, which is greater than the redemption amount. The carrying amount decreased from $0.2 million as of February 3, 2019 as a result of a net loss attributable to the RNCI for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019 of $0.4 million. The carrying amount of the RNCI as of May 6, 2018 was $1.5 million.

6. INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES

The Company had investments in unconsolidated affiliates of $208.5 million, $207.1 million and $198.6 million as of May 5, 2019, February 3, 2019 and May 6, 2018, respectively. These investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and included in other assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company received dividends of $3.6 million from these investments during the thirteen weeks ended May 6, 2018.

7. GOODWILL

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019, by segment (please see Note 20, “Segment Data,” for further discussion of the Company’s reportable segments), were as follows:

8. RETIREMENT AND BENEFIT PLANS

The Company, as of May 5, 2019, has five noncontributory qualified defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all employees resident in the United States who meet certain age and service requirements. The plans provide monthly benefits upon retirement generally based on career average compensation and years of credited service. Vesting in plan benefits generally occurs after five years of service. The Company refers to these five plans as its “Pension Plans.”
 
The Company also has three noncontributory unfunded non-qualified supplemental defined benefit pension plans, including:

A plan for certain current and former members of Tommy Hilfiger’s domestic senior management. The plan is frozen and, as a result, participants do not accrue additional benefits.
A capital accumulation program for certain current and former senior executives. Under the individual participants’ agreements, the participants in the program will receive a predetermined amount during the ten years following the

9




attainment of age 65, provided that prior to the termination of employment with the Company, the participant has been in the plan for at least ten years and has attained age 55.
A plan for certain employees resident in the United States who meet certain age and service requirements that provides benefits for compensation in excess of Internal Revenue Service earnings limits and requires payments to vested employees upon, or shortly after, employment termination or retirement.

The Company refers to these three plans as its “SERP Plans.”

The Company also provides certain postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to certain retirees resident in the United States. As a result of the Company’s acquisition of The Warnaco Group, Inc. (“Warnaco”), the Company also provides certain postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to certain Warnaco retirees resident in the United States. Retirees contribute to the cost of the applicable plan, both of which are unfunded and frozen. The Company refers to these two plans as its “Postretirement Plans.” Net benefit cost related to the Postretirement Plans was immaterial for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019 and May 6, 2018.

The service cost component of net benefit cost is recorded in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses and the other components of net benefit cost are recorded in non-service related pension and postretirement income in the Company’s Consolidated Income Statements.

Currently, the Company does not expect to make material contributions to the Pension Plans in 2019. The Company’s actual contributions may differ from planned contributions due to many factors, including changes in tax and other laws, as well as significant differences between expected and actual pension asset performance or interest rates.
 
9. DEBT

Short-Term Borrowings

The Company has the ability to draw revolving borrowings under its senior unsecured credit facilities, as discussed in the section entitled “2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities” below. The Company had $284.4 million outstanding under these facilities as of May 5, 2019. The weighted average interest rate on funds borrowed as of May 5, 2019 was 3.85%. The maximum amount of revolving borrowings outstanding under these facilities during the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019 was $284.4 million.

Additionally, the Company has the availability to borrow under short-term lines of credit, overdraft facilities and short-term revolving credit facilities denominated in various foreign currencies. These facilities provided for borrowings of up to $97.8 million based on exchange rates in effect on May 5, 2019 and are utilized primarily to fund working capital needs. The Company had $15.3 million outstanding under these facilities as of May 5, 2019. The weighted average interest rate on funds borrowed as of May 5, 2019 was 0.20%. The maximum amount of borrowings outstanding under these facilities during the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019 was $17.9 million.

Please see Note 12, “Fair Value Measurements,” for the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt as of May 5, 2019, February 3, 2019 and May 6, 2018.

As of May 5, 2019, the Company’s mandatory long-term debt repayments for the remainder of 2019 through 2024 were as follows:

Total debt repayments for the remainder of 2019 through 2024 exceed the total carrying amount of the Company’s Term Loan A facilities, 7 3/4% debentures due 2023 and 3 5/8% euro senior notes due 2024 as of May 5, 2019 because the carrying amount reflects the unamortized portions of debt issuance costs and the original issue discounts.

As of May 5, 2019, after taking into account the effect of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements discussed in the section entitled “2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities,” which were in effect as of such date, approximately 60% of the Company’s long-term debt had fixed interest rates, with the remainder at variable interest rates.

2016 Senior Secured Credit Facilities

On May 19, 2016, the Company entered into an amendment to its senior secured credit facilities (as amended, the “2016 facilities”). The Company replaced the 2016 facilities with new senior unsecured credit facilities on April 29, 2019 as discussed in the section entitled “2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities” below. The 2016 facilities, as of the date they were replaced, consisted of a $2,347.4 million United States dollar-denominated Term Loan A facility and senior secured revolving credit facilities consisting of (i) a $475.0 million United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility, (ii) a $25.0 million United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility available in United States dollars and Canadian dollars and (iii) a €185.9 million euro-denominated revolving credit facility available in euro, British pound sterling, Japanese yen and Swiss francs.

11





2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities

The Company refinanced the 2016 facilities on April 29, 2019 (the “Closing Date”) by entering into senior unsecured credit facilities (the “2019 facilities”), the proceeds of which, along with cash on hand, were used to repay all of the outstanding borrowings under the 2016 facilities, as well as the related debt issuance costs.

The 2019 facilities consist of a $1,093.2 million United States dollar-denominated Term Loan A facility (the “USD TLA facility”), a €500.0 million euro-denominated Term Loan A facility (the “Euro TLA facility” and together with the USD TLA facility, the “TLA facilities”) and senior unsecured revolving credit facilities consisting of (i) a $675.0 million United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility, (ii) a CAD $70.0 million Canadian dollar-denominated revolving credit facility available in United States dollars or Canadian dollars, (iii) a €200.0 million euro-denominated revolving credit facility available in euro, British pound sterling, Japanese yen, Swiss francs, Australian dollars and other agreed foreign currencies and (iv) a $50.0 million United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility available in United States dollars or Hong Kong dollars. The 2019 facilities are due on April 29, 2024. In connection with the refinancing of the senior credit facilities, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $10.4 million (of which $3.5 million was expensed as debt modification costs and $6.9 million is being amortized over the term of the debt agreement) and recorded debt extinguishment costs of $1.7 million to write-off previously capitalized debt issuance costs.

Each of the senior unsecured revolving facilities, except for the $50.0 million United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility available in United States dollars or Hong Kong dollars, also include amounts available for letters of credit. A portion of each of these revolving credit facilities are also available for the making of swingline loans. The issuance of such letters of credit and the making of any swingline loan reduces the amount available under the applicable revolving credit facility. So long as certain conditions are satisfied, the Company may add one or more senior unsecured term loan facilities or increase the commitments under the senior unsecured revolving credit facilities by an aggregate amount not to exceed $1,500.0 million. The lenders under the 2019 facilities are not required to provide commitments with respect to such additional facilities or increased commitments.

The Company had loans outstanding of $1,644.0 million, net of debt issuance costs and based on applicable exchange rates, under the TLA facilities, $284.4 million of borrowings outstanding under the senior unsecured revolving credit facilities and $20.4 million of outstanding letters of credit under the senior unsecured revolving credit facilities as of May 5, 2019.

The terms of the TLA facilities require the Company to make quarterly repayments of amounts outstanding under the 2019 facilities, commencing with the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2019. Such required repayment amounts equal 2.50% per annum of the principal amount outstanding on the Closing Date for the first eight calendar quarters following the Closing Date, 5.00% per annum of the principal amount outstanding on the Closing Date for the four calendar quarters thereafter and 7.50% per annum of the principal amount outstanding on the Closing Date for the remaining calendar quarters, in each case paid in equal installments and in each case subject to certain customary adjustments, with the balance due on the maturity date of the TLA facilities. The outstanding borrowings under the 2019 facilities are prepayable at any time without penalty (other than customary breakage costs). Any voluntary repayments made by the Company would reduce the future required repayment amounts.

The Company made no repayments on its term loans under the 2019 facilities and 2016 facilities during the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019 and May 6, 2018, other than the repayment of the 2016 facilities in connection with the refinancing of the senior credit facilities.

The United States dollar-denominated borrowings under the 2019 facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, as determined at the Company's option, either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the greater of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the United States federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1.00% and (iii) a one-month reserve adjusted Eurocurrency rate plus 1.00% or (b) an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the 2019 facilities.

The Canadian dollar-denominated borrowings under the 2019 facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, as determined at the Company’s option, either (a) a Canadian prime rate determined by reference to the greater of (i) the rate of interest per annum that Royal Bank of Canada establishes as the reference rate of interest in order to determine interest rates for loans in Canadian dollars to its Canadian borrowers and (ii) the average of the rates per annum for Canadian dollar bankers' acceptances having a term of one month or (b) an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the 2019 facilities.


12




The Hong Kong dollar-denominated borrowings under the 2019 facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the 2019 facilities.

The borrowings under the 2019 facilities in currencies other than United States dollars, Canadian dollars or Hong Kong dollars bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the 2019 facilities.

The current applicable margin with respect to the TLA facilities and each revolving credit facility is 1.375% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 0.375% for base rate or Canadian prime rate loans. The applicable margin for borrowings under the TLA facilities and the revolving credit facilities is subject to adjustment (i) after the date of delivery of the compliance certificate and financial statements, with respect to each of the Company’s fiscal quarters, based upon the Company’s net leverage ratio or (ii) after the date of delivery of notice of a change in the Company’s public debt rating by Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s.

The Company entered into interest rate swap agreements designed with the intended effect of converting notional amounts of its variable rate debt obligation to fixed rate debt. Under the terms of the agreements, for the outstanding notional amount, the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in the one-month London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) is eliminated and the Company pays a fixed rate plus the current applicable margin. The following interest rate swap agreements were entered into or in effect during the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019 and/or May 6, 2018:

The notional amounts of the outstanding interest rate swaps that commenced in February 2018 and February 2019 are adjusted according to pre-set schedules during the terms of the swap agreements such that, based on the Company’s projections for future debt repayments, the Company’s outstanding debt under the USD TLA facility is expected to always equal or exceed the combined notional amount of the then-outstanding interest rate swaps.

The 2019 facilities contain customary events of default, including but not limited to nonpayment; material inaccuracy of representations and warranties; violations of covenants; certain bankruptcies and liquidations; cross-default to material indebtedness; certain material judgments; certain events related to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended; certain events related to certain of the guarantees by the Company; and a change in control (as defined in the 2019 facilities).

The 2019 facilities require the Company to comply with customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including minimum interest coverage and maximum net leverage. A breach of any of these operating or financial covenants would result in a default under the 2019 facilities. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts then outstanding, together with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable, which would result in acceleration of the Company’s other debt.

7 3/4% Debentures Due 2023

The Company has outstanding $100.0 million of debentures due November 15, 2023 that accrue interest at the rate of 7 3/4%. The debentures are not redeemable at the Company’s option prior to maturity.

3 5/8% Euro Senior Notes Due 2024

The Company has outstanding €350.0 million euro-denominated principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due July 15, 2024. Interest on the notes is payable in euros. The Company may redeem some or all of these notes at any time prior to April 15, 2024 by paying a “make whole” premium plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, the Company may redeem some or all of these notes on or after April 15, 2024 at their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

3 1/8% Euro Senior Notes Due 2027

The Company has outstanding €600.0 million euro-denominated principal amount of 3 1/8% senior notes due December 15, 2027. Interest on the notes is payable in euros. The Company may redeem some or all of these notes at any time prior to September 15, 2027 by paying a “make whole” premium plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, the Company may redeem some or all of these notes on or after September 15, 2027 at their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest.
  
As of May 5, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial and non-financial covenants under its financing arrangements.

Please see Note 8, “Debt,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 3, 2019 for further discussion of the Company’s debt.

10. INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rates for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019 and May 6, 2018 were 22.4% and 17.1%, respectively.
The effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019 was higher than the United States statutory income tax rate due to the tax on foreign earnings in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations (known as “GILTI”) imposed by the United States Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “U.S. Tax Legislation”), offset by the benefit of overall lower tax rates in certain international jurisdictions where the Company files tax returns.
The effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended May 6, 2018 was lower than the United States statutory income tax rate, primarily due to the benefit of overall lower tax rates in certain international jurisdictions where the Company files tax returns.
The Company files income tax returns in more than 40 international jurisdictions each year. A substantial amount of the Company’s earnings comes from international operations, particularly in the Netherlands and Hong Kong, where income tax rates, coupled with special rates levied on income from certain of the Company’s jurisdictional activities, are lower than the United States statutory income tax rate.

11. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company has exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to anticipated cash flows associated with certain international inventory purchases. The Company uses foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge against a portion of this exposure.

The Company also has exposure to interest rate volatility related to its term loans under the 2019 facilities. The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge against a portion of this exposure. Please see Note 9, “Debt,” for further discussion of the 2019 facilities and these agreements.

The Company records the foreign currency forward exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements at fair value in its Consolidated Balance Sheets and does not net the related assets and liabilities. The foreign currency forward exchange contracts associated with certain international inventory purchases and the interest rate swap agreements are designated as effective hedging instruments (collectively referred to as “cash flow hedges”). The changes in the fair value of the cash flow hedges are recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”). No amounts were excluded from effectiveness testing.




14




Net Investment Hedges

The Company has exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to the value of its investments in foreign subsidiaries denominated in a currency other than the United States dollar. To hedge against a portion of this exposure, the Company designated the carrying amounts of its €600.0 million euro-denominated principal amount of 3 1/8% senior notes due 2027 and €350.0 million euro-denominated principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due 2024 (collectively referred to as the “foreign currency borrowings”), that it had issued in the United States, as net investment hedges of its investments in certain of its foreign subsidiaries that use the euro as their functional currency. Please see Note 9, “Debt,” for further discussion of the Company’s foreign currency borrowings.

The Company records the foreign currency borrowings at carrying value in its Consolidated Balance Sheets. The carrying value of the foreign currency borrowings is remeasured at the end of each reporting period to reflect changes in the foreign currency exchange spot rate. Since the foreign currency borrowings are designated as net investment hedges, such remeasurement is recorded in equity as a component of AOCL. The fair value and the carrying value of the foreign currency borrowings designated as net investment hedges were $1,144.1 million and $1,046.8 million, respectively, as of May 5, 2019, $1,098.3 million and $1,076.0 million, respectively, as of February 3, 2019 and $1,164.4 million and $1,121.2 million, respectively, as of May 6, 2018. The Company evaluates the effectiveness of its net investment hedges at inception and at the beginning of each quarter thereafter. No amounts were excluded from effectiveness testing.

Undesignated Contracts

The Company records immediately in earnings changes in the fair value of hedges that are not designated as effective hedging instruments (“undesignated contracts”), including all of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts related to intercompany transactions and intercompany loans that are not of a long-term investment nature. Any gains and losses that are immediately recognized in earnings on such contracts are largely offset by the remeasurement of the underlying intercompany balances.

The Company does not use derivative or non-derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The cash flows from the Company’s hedges are presented in the same category in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as the items being hedged.

A net gain in AOCL on foreign currency forward exchange contracts at May 5, 2019 of $45.0 million is estimated to be reclassified in the next 12 months in the Company’s Consolidated Income Statement to costs of goods sold as the underlying inventory hedged by such forward exchange contracts is sold. In addition, a net loss in AOCL for interest rate swap agreements at May 5, 2019 of $0.8 million is estimated to be reclassified to interest expense within the next 12 months. Amounts recognized in AOCL for foreign currency borrowings would be recognized in earnings only upon the sale or substantially complete liquidation of the hedged net investment.

12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three level hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.


16




Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available.

In accordance with the fair value hierarchy described above, the following table shows the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are required to be remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis:

The fair value of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts is measured as the total amount of currency to be purchased, multiplied by the difference between (i) the forward rate as of the period end and (ii) the settlement rate specified in each contract. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements is based on observable interest rate yield curves and represents the expected discounted cash flows underlying the financial instruments.

There were no transfers between any levels of the fair value hierarchy for any of the Company’s fair value measurements.

The following table shows the fair value of the Company’s non-financial assets and liabilities that were required to be remeasured at fair value on a non-recurring basis (consisting of operating lease right-of-use assets and property, plant and equipment) during the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019, and the total impairments recorded as a result of the remeasurement process:

Operating lease right-of-use assets with a carrying amount of $93.8 million were written down to a fair value of $16.8 million during the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019 as a result of the closure during the first quarter of 2019 of the Company’s TOMMY HILFIGER flagship and anchor stores in the United States (the “TH U.S. store closures”) and the closure during the first quarter of 2019 of the Company’s CALVIN KLEIN flagship store on Madison Avenue in New York, New York in connection with the Calvin Klein restructuring (as defined in Note 17, “Exit Activity Costs”). Please see Note 17 for further discussion of the Calvin Klein restructuring costs. Fair value of the operating lease right-of-use assets was determined based on the discounted cash flows of estimated sublease income using market participant assumptions.

Property, plant and equipment with a carrying amount of $6.7 million was written down to a fair value of zero during the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019 primarily in connection with the TH U.S. store closures and the closure of the Company’s CALVIN KLEIN 205 W39 NYC brand (formerly Calvin Klein Collection) in connection with the Calvin Klein restructuring. Please see Note 17, “Exit Activity Costs,” for further discussion of the Calvin Klein restructuring costs. Fair value of the Company’s property plant and equipment was determined based on the estimated discounted future cash flows associated with the assets using sales trends and market participant assumptions.

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents and short-term borrowings approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company estimates the fair value of its long-term debt using quoted market prices as of the last business day of the applicable quarter. The Company classifies the measurement of its long-term debt as a Level 1 measurement. The carrying amounts of long-term debt reflect the unamortized portions of debt issuance costs and the original issue discounts.

13. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company grants stock-based awards under its 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). Shares issued as a result of stock-based compensation transactions generally have been funded with the issuance of new shares of the Company’s common stock.

The Company may grant the following types of incentive awards under the 2006 Plan: (i) non-qualified stock options (“stock options”); (ii) incentive stock options; (iii) stock appreciation rights; (iv) restricted stock; (v) restricted stock units (“RSUs”); (vi) performance shares; (vii) performance share units (“PSUs”); and (viii) other stock-based awards. Each award granted under the 2006 Plan is subject to an award agreement that incorporates, as applicable, the exercise price, the term of the award, the periods of restriction, the number of shares to which the award pertains, performance periods and performance measures, and such other terms and conditions as the plan committee determines. Awards granted under the 2006 Plan are classified as equity awards, which are recorded in stockholders’ equity in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Through May 5, 2019, the Company has granted under the 2006 Plan (i) service-based stock options, RSUs and restricted stock; and (ii) contingently issuable PSUs and RSUs. All restricted stock granted by the Company was fully vested at the end of 2015.

According to the terms of the 2006 Plan, for purposes of determining the number of shares available for grant, each share underlying a stock option award reduces the number available by one share and each share underlying an RSU or PSU award reduces the number available by two shares.

Net income for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019 and May 6, 2018 included $13.9 million and $11.6 million, respectively, of pre-tax expense related to stock-based compensation, with related recognized income tax benefits of $1.9 million and $2.3 million, respectively.

The Company receives a tax deduction for certain transactions associated with its stock-based plan awards. The actual income tax benefits realized from these transactions during the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019 and May 6, 2018 were $7.8 million and $11.7 million, respectively. The tax benefits realized included discrete net excess tax benefits of $1.3 million and $4.5 million recognized in the Company’s provision for income taxes during the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019 and May 6, 2018, respectively.


18




Stock Options

Stock options granted to employees are generally exercisable in four equal annual installments commencing one year after the date of grant. The underlying stock option award agreements generally provide for accelerated vesting upon the award recipient’s retirement (as defined in the 2006 Plan). Such stock options are granted with a 10-year term and the per share exercise price cannot be less than the closing price of the common stock on the date of grant.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. The estimated fair value of the stock options granted is expensed over the stock options’ vesting periods.

The following summarizes the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options granted during the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019 and May 6, 2018 and the resulting weighted average grant date fair value per stock option:

Weighted average grant date fair value per stock option
$
41.15

 
$
51.66


The risk-free interest rate is based on United States Treasury yields in effect at the date of grant for periods corresponding to the expected stock option term. The expected stock option term represents the weighted average period of time that stock options granted are expected to be outstanding, based on vesting schedules and the contractual term of the stock options. Company volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over a period of time corresponding to the expected stock option term. Expected dividends are based on the Company’s common stock cash dividend rate at the date of grant.

The Company has continued to utilize the simplified method to estimate the expected term for its “plain vanilla” stock options granted due to a lack of relevant historical data resulting, in part, from changes in the pool of employees receiving stock option grants. The Company will continue to evaluate the appropriateness of utilizing such method.

RSUs

RSUs granted to employees since 2016 generally vest in four equal annual installments commencing one year after the date of grant. Outstanding RSUs granted to employees prior to 2016 generally vest in three annual installments of 25%, 25% and 50% commencing two years after the date of grant. Service-based RSUs granted to non-employee directors vest in full one year after the date of grant. The underlying RSU award agreements (excluding agreements for non-employee director awards) generally provide for accelerated vesting upon the award recipient’s retirement (as defined in the 2006 Plan). The fair value of RSUs is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and is expensed over the RSUs’ vesting periods.

PSUs

Contingently issuable PSUs granted to certain of the Company’s senior executives since 2015 are subject to a three-year performance period. For such awards, the final number of shares to be earned, if any, is contingent upon the Company’s achievement of goals for the applicable performance period, of which 50% is based upon the Company’s absolute stock price growth during the applicable performance period and 50% is based upon the Company’s total shareholder return during the applicable performance period relative to other companies included in the S&P 500 as of the date of grant. For awards granted in 2016, the three-year performance period ended during the first quarter of 2019 and holders of the awards earned an aggregate of 67,000 shares, which was between the threshold and target levels. The Company records expense ratably over the applicable vesting period regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied because the awards are subject to market conditions. The fair value of the awards granted was established for each grant on the grant date using the Monte Carlo simulation model.

The following summarizes the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of PSUs granted during the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019 and May 6, 2018 and the resulting weighted average grant date fair value per PSU:

For certain of the awards granted, the after-tax portion of the award is subject to a holding period of one year after the vesting date. For such awards, the grant date fair value was discounted 6.20% in 2019 and 7.09% in 2018 for the restriction of liquidity, which was calculated using the Chaffe model.

15. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The Company’s Board of Directors authorized a $2,000.0 million stock repurchase program through June 3, 2023. Repurchases under the program may be made from time to time over the period through open market purchases, accelerated share repurchase programs, privately negotiated transactions or other methods, as the Company deems appropriate. Purchases are made based on a variety of factors, such as price, corporate requirements and overall market conditions, applicable legal requirements and limitations, trading restrictions under the Company’s insider trading policy and other relevant factors. The

21




program may be modified by the Board of Directors, including to increase or decrease the repurchase limitation or extend, suspend, or terminate the program, at any time, without prior notice.

During the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019 and May 6, 2018, the Company purchased 0.5 million shares and 0.4 million shares, respectively, of its common stock under the program in open market transactions for $61.2 million and $53.7 million, respectively. As of May 5, 2019, the repurchased shares were held as treasury stock and $947.1 million of the authorization remained available for future share repurchases.

Treasury stock activity also includes shares that were withheld principally in conjunction with the settlement of RSUs and PSUs to satisfy tax withholding requirements.

16. LEASES

The Company leases approximately 1,750 Company-operated freestanding retail store locations across more than 35 countries, generally with initial lease terms of 3 to 10 years. The Company also leases warehouses, distribution centers, showrooms, office space, and a factory in Ethiopia, generally with initial lease terms of 10 to 20 years, as well as certain equipment and other assets, generally with initial lease terms of 1 to 5 years.

Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of fixed lease payments over the expected lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rates to determine the present value of fixed lease payments based on the information available at the lease commencement date, as the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for the Company's leases. The Company's incremental borrowing rates are based on the term of the lease, the economic environment of the lease, and the effect of collateralization. Certain leases include one or more renewal options, generally for the same period as the initial term of the lease. The exercise of lease renewal options is generally at the Company’s sole discretion and as such, the Company typically determines that exercise of these renewal options is not reasonably certain. As a result, the Company does not include the renewal option period in the expected lease term and the associated lease payments are not included in the measurement of the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Certain leases also contain termination options with an associated penalty. Generally, the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise these options and as such, they are not included in the determination of the expected lease term. The Company recognizes operating lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Leases with an initial lease term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Leases generally provide for payments of nonlease components, such as common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other costs associated with the leased property. For lease agreements entered into or modified after February 3, 2019, the Company accounts for lease components and nonlease components together as a single lease component and, as such, includes fixed payments of nonlease components in the measurement of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Variable lease payments, such as percentage rentals based on location sales, periodic adjustments for inflation, reimbursement of real estate taxes, any variable common area maintenance and any other variable costs associated with the leased property are expensed as incurred as variable lease costs and are not recorded on the balance sheet.
 
The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictions or covenants.

Intersegment transactions primarily consist of transfers of inventory principally from the Heritage Brands Wholesale segment to the Heritage Brands Retail segment, the Tommy Hilfiger North America segment and the Calvin Klein North America segment. These transfers are recorded at cost plus a standard markup percentage. Such markup percentage on ending inventory is eliminated principally in the Heritage Brands Retail segment, the Tommy Hilfiger North America segment and the Calvin Klein North America segment.

21. GUARANTEES

The liability for this guarantee obligation was immaterial as of May 5, 2019 and February 3, 2019.

The Company has guaranteed the payment of amounts on behalf of certain other parties, none of which are material individually or in the aggregate.

22. RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued in February 2016 new guidance on leases. The new guidance, among other changes, requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability in the balance sheet for most leases, but retains an expense recognition model similar to the previous guidance. The lease liability is measured at the present value of the fixed lease payments over the lease term and the right-of-use asset is measured at the lease liability amount, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received and the lessee’s initial direct costs. The guidance also requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures. The Company adopted the guidance in the first quarter of 2019 using the modified retrospective approach applied as of the period of adoption with a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings and as such, prior periods have not been restated. Upon adoption, the Company (i) recognized operating lease right-of-use assets of $1.7 billion and lease liabilities of $1.9 billion, (ii) recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings of $3.1 million and (iii) recorded other reclassification adjustments within its Consolidated Balance Sheet related to, among other things, deferred rent.

The effects of the adoption on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 3, 2019 were as follows:

The Company also elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allows the Company not to reassess whether any existing contracts are or contain a lease, the lease classification for any existing leases, and the capitalization of initial direct costs for any existing leases, as of the adoption date. The Company’s accounting for finance leases (formerly called capital leases) remains substantially unchanged. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows. Please see Note 16, “Leases,” for additional disclosures required by the guidance.

The FASB issued in August 2017 an update to accounting guidance to simplify the application of hedge accounting in certain situations and allow companies to better align their hedge accounting with their risk management activities. The update eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and requires companies to recognize all elements of hedge accounting that impact earnings in the same income statement line as the hedged item. The update also simplifies the requirements for hedge documentation and effectiveness assessments and amends the presentation and disclosure requirements. The Company adopted this update in the first quarter of 2019 using a modified retrospective approach, except for the presentation and disclosure guidance, which is being applied on a prospective basis, as required. The adoption of this update did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The FASB issued in August 2018 an update to accounting guidance related to implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. The update aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred under such arrangements with the requirements for capitalizing costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. Under previous accounting guidance, the Company generally expensed the implementation costs incurred in connection with a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. The Company early adopted this update in the first quarter of 2019 using a prospective approach. As a result of the adoption, the Company capitalized $1.9 million of costs incurred in the first quarter of 2019 to implement cloud computing arrangements, primarily related to digital and consumer data platforms. Such costs were included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company expects to incur additional costs to implement cloud computing arrangements during the remainder of 2019 and expects the implementation costs capitalized in its Consolidated Balance Sheet will increase accordingly. 
 
23. OTHER COMMENTS

Wuxi Jinmao Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. (“Wuxi”), one of the Company’s finished goods inventory suppliers, has a wholly owned subsidiary with which the Company entered into a loan agreement in 2016. Under the agreement, Wuxi’s subsidiary borrowed a principal amount of $13.8 million for the development and operation of a fabric mill. Principal payments are due in semi-annual installments beginning March 31, 2018 through September 30, 2026. The outstanding principal balance of the loan bears interest at a rate of (i) 4.50% per annum until the sixth anniversary of the closing date of the loan and (ii) LIBOR plus 4.00% thereafter. The Company received principal payments of $0.2 million and $0.1 million during the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019 and May 6, 2018, respectively. The outstanding balance, including accrued interest, was $13.4 million, $13.8 million and

31



$13.7 million as of May 5, 2019, February 3, 2019, and May 6, 2018, respectively, and was included in other assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company records warehousing and distribution expenses, which are subject to exchange rate fluctuations, as a component of SG&A expenses in its Consolidated Income Statements. Warehousing and distribution expenses incurred in the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019 and May 6, 2018 totaled $77.1 million and $70.0 million, respectively.

24.    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company acquired on May 31, 2019 the approximately 78% interest in Gazal that it did not already own. Prior to the acquisition closing, the Company, along with Gazal, jointly owned and managed PVH Brands Australia Pty. Limited (“PVH Australia”), which licenses and operates businesses under the TOMMY HILFIGER, CALVIN KLEIN and Van Heusen brands, along with other licensed and owned brands. PVH Australia came under the Company’s full control as a result of the acquisition. The aggregate net purchase price for the shares acquired is expected to be approximately A$124 million (approximately $86 million based on the exchange rate in effect on the date of the acquisition), after taking into account the pending divestiture to a third party of an office building and warehouse owned by Gazal.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We aggregate our reporting segments into three main businesses: (i) Tommy Hilfiger, which consists of the businesses we operate under our TOMMY HILFIGER trademarks; (ii) Calvin Klein, which consists of the businesses we operate under our CALVIN KLEIN trademarks; and (iii) Heritage Brands, which consists of the businesses we operate under our Van Heusen, IZOD, ARROW, Warner’s, Olga, True&Co. and Geoffrey Beene trademarks, the Speedo trademark we license in perpetuity for North America and the Caribbean, and other owned and licensed trademarks. References to the brand names TOMMY HILFIGER, CALVIN KLEIN, Van Heusen, IZOD, ARROW, Warner’s, Olga, True&Co., Geoffrey Beene and Speedo and to other brand names are to registered and common law trademarks owned by us or licensed to us by third parties and are identified by italicizing the brand name.


OVERVIEW

The following discussion and analysis is intended to help you understand us, our operations and our financial performance. It should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, which are included in the immediately preceding item of this report.

We are one of the largest branded apparel companies in the world, with a history going back over 135 years. Our brand portfolio consists of nationally and internationally recognized trademarks, including TOMMY HILFIGER, CALVIN KLEIN, Van Heusen, IZOD, ARROW, Speedo (licensed in perpetuity for North America and the Caribbean from Speedo International Limited), Warner’s, Olga, True&Co. and Geoffrey Beene. Our brand portfolio also consists of various other owned, licensed and private label brands.

Our business strategy is to position our brands to sell globally at various price points and in multiple channels of distribution. This enables us to offer products to a broad range of consumers, while minimizing competition among our brands and reducing our reliance on any one demographic group, product category, price point, distribution channel or region. We also license the use of our trademarks to third parties and joint ventures for product categories and in regions where we believe our licensees’ expertise can better serve our brands.

Our revenue was $9.657 billion in 2018, of which over 50% was generated outside of the United States. Our global designer lifestyle brands, TOMMY HILFIGER and CALVIN KLEIN, together generated over 80% of our revenue.

OPERATIONS OVERVIEW

We generate net sales from (i) the wholesale distribution to retailers, franchisees, licensees and distributors of dress shirts, neckwear, sportswear, jeanswear, performance apparel, intimate apparel, underwear, swim products, handbags, accessories, footwear and other related products under owned and licensed trademarks, including through digital commerce sites operated by our wholesale partners and pure play digital commerce retailers, and (ii) the sale of certain of these products through (a) approximately 1,750 Company-operated freestanding retail store locations worldwide under our TOMMY HILFIGER, CALVIN KLEIN and certain of our heritage brands trademarks, (b) approximately 1,500 Company-operated shop-in-shop/concession locations worldwide under our TOMMY HILFIGER and CALVIN KLEIN trademarks, and (c) digital commerce sites in over 30 countries under each of our TOMMY HILFIGER and CALVIN KLEIN trademarks and in the United States through our SpeedoUSA.com, TrueAndCo.com, VanHeusen.com, IZOD.com and styleBureau.com digital commerce sites. Additionally, we generate royalty, advertising and other revenue from fees for licensing the use of our trademarks. We manage our operations through our operating divisions, which are presented as six reportable segments: (i) Tommy Hilfiger North America; (ii) Tommy Hilfiger International; (iii) Calvin Klein North America; (iv) Calvin Klein International; (v) Heritage Brands Wholesale; and (vi) Heritage Brands Retail.

We have entered into the following transactions, which impact our results of operations and comparability among the periods, including our full year 2019 expectations as compared to full year 2018, as discussed in the section entitled “Results of Operations” below:

We announced in the first quarter of 2019 that we had entered into definitive agreements for two acquisitions. The first acquisition, which closed on May 31, 2019, was to acquire the approximately 78% interest in Gazal Corporation Limited (“Gazal”) that we did not already own (the “Australia acquisition”). Prior to the closing, we, along with Gazal, jointly owned and managed PVH Brands Australia Pty. Limited (“PVH Australia”), which licenses and operates businesses under the TOMMY HILFIGER, CALVIN KLEIN and Van Heusen brands, along with other licensed and

33




owned brands. PVH Australia came under our full control as a result of the acquisition. The aggregate net purchase price for the shares acquired is expected to be approximately A$124 million (approximately $86 million based on the exchange rate in effect on the date of the acquisition), after taking into account the pending divestiture to a third party of an office building and warehouse owned by Gazal. The second acquisition, which is pending, is to acquire the Tommy Hilfiger retail business in Hong Kong and certain other countries in Central and Southeast Asia from our current licensee in those markets (the “TH CSAP acquisition”). The purchase price is estimated to be approximately $75 million. The closing is subject to customary conditions and is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2019. We expect to record an aggregate net pre-tax gain of approximately $70 million during 2019 in connection with the Australia acquisition and the TH CSAP acquisition, consisting of a noncash gain to write up our equity investments in Gazal and PVH Australia to fair value, partially offset by pre-tax costs related to both acquisitions, primarily consisting of noncash valuation adjustments and amortization of short-lived assets.

We refinanced on April 29, 2019 our senior credit facilities and recorded pre-tax debt modification and extinguishment charges of $5 million. Please see the section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for further discussion.

We closed our TOMMY HILFIGER flagship and anchor stores in the United States (the “TH U.S. store closures”) in the first quarter of 2019 and recorded pre-tax costs of $55 million, primarily consisting of noncash lease asset impairments. Please see Note 12, “Fair Value Measurements,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion of the noncash lease asset impairments.

We announced on January 10, 2019 a restructuring in connection with strategic changes for our Calvin Klein business (the “Calvin Klein restructuring”). The strategic changes include (i) the closure of the CALVIN KLEIN 205 W39 NYC brand (formerly Calvin Klein Collection), (ii) the closure of the flagship store on Madison Avenue in New York, New York, (iii) the restructuring of the Calvin Klein creative and design teams globally, and (iv) the consolidation of operations for the men’s Calvin Klein Sportswear and Calvin Klein Jeans businesses. We recorded pre-tax costs of $70 million in the first quarter of 2019, consisting of a $30 million noncash lease asset impairment resulting from the closure of the flagship store on Madison Avenue in New York, New York, $19 million of severance, $15 million of contract termination and other costs, $5 million of other noncash asset impairments and $2 million of inventory markdowns. We expect to incur additional pre-tax costs of approximately $35 million during the remainder of 2019 in connection with the Calvin Klein restructuring, primarily consisting of noncash asset impairments, severance and contract termination and other costs. Please see Note 17, “Exit Activity Costs,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.

We acquired on April 20, 2018 the Geoffrey Beene tradename from Geoffrey Beene, LLC (“Geoffrey Beene”) for $17 million, of which $16 million was paid in cash. Prior to the acquisition, we had licensed the rights to design, market and distribute Geoffrey Beene dress shirts and neckwear from Geoffrey Beene.

We acquired on April 13, 2016 the 55% interest in our former joint venture for TOMMY HILFIGER in China that we did not already own (the “TH China acquisition”). We recorded pre-tax charges of $7 million in the first quarter of 2018, consisting of noncash amortization of short-lived assets.

Our Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein businesses each have substantial international components that expose us to significant foreign exchange risk. Our Heritage Brands business also has international components but those components are not significant to the business. Our results of operations in local foreign currencies are translated into United States dollars using an average exchange rate over the representative period. Accordingly, our results of operations are unfavorably impacted during times of a strengthening United States dollar against the foreign currencies in which we generate significant revenue and earnings and favorably impacted during times of a weakening United States dollar against those currencies. Over 50% of our $9.657 billion of revenue in 2018 was subject to foreign currency translation. Based on current foreign currency exchange rates, we expect a decrease in revenue of approximately $200 million, or 2%, and a decrease in net income of approximately $25 million in 2019 as compared to 2018 due to the impact of foreign currency translation.

There is also a transactional impact on our financial results because inventory typically is purchased in United States dollars by our foreign subsidiaries. As with translation, our results of operations will be unfavorably impacted during times of a strengthening United States dollar as the increased local currency value of inventory results in a higher cost of goods in local currency when the goods are sold and favorably impacted during times of a weakening United States dollar as the decreased local currency value of inventory results in a lower cost of goods in local currency when the goods are sold. We use foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge against a portion of the exposure related to this transactional impact. The contracts cover at least 70% of the projected inventory purchases in United States dollars by our foreign subsidiaries. These contracts are generally entered into 12 months in advance of the related inventory purchases. Therefore, the impact of

34




fluctuations of the United States dollar on the cost of inventory purchases covered by these contracts may be realized in our results of operations in the year following their inception, as the underlying inventory hedged by the contracts is sold. Additionally, there is a transactional impact related to changes in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses as a result of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Based on current foreign currency exchange rates, we expect a slight benefit to our net income in 2019 as compared to 2018 due to the transactional impact.

Further, we have exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to our €950 million aggregate principal amount of euro-denominated senior notes, as the weakening of the United States dollar against the euro would require us to use a greater amount of our cash flows from operations to pay interest and make long-term debt repayments. We designated the carrying amount of these euro-denominated senior notes that we had issued in the United States as net investment hedges of our investments in certain of our foreign subsidiaries that use the euro as their functional currency. As a result, the remeasurement of these foreign currency borrowings at the end of each period is recorded in equity.

Retail comparable store sales discussed below refer to sales from retail stores that have been open for at least 12 months, as well as sales from Company-operated digital commerce sites for those businesses and regions that have operated the related digital commerce site for at least 12 months. Sales from retail stores and Company-operated digital commerce sites that are closed or shut down during the year are excluded from the calculation of retail comparable store sales. Sales for retail stores that are relocated, materially altered in size or closed for a certain number of consecutive days and sales from Company-operated digital commerce sites that are materially altered are also excluded from the calculation of retail comparable store sales until such stores or sites have been in their new location or in their newly renovated state, as applicable, for at least 12 months. Retail comparable store sales are based on local currencies and comparable weeks.

SEASONALITY

Our business generally follows a seasonal pattern. Our wholesale businesses tend to generate higher levels of sales in the first and third quarters, while our retail businesses tend to generate higher levels of sales in the fourth quarter. Royalty, advertising and other revenue tends to be earned somewhat evenly throughout the year, although the third quarter has the highest level of royalty revenue due to higher sales by licensees in advance of the holiday selling season. We expect this seasonal pattern will generally continue. Working capital requirements vary throughout the year to support these seasonal patterns and business trends.

Due to the above factors, our results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Thirteen Weeks Ended May 5, 2019 Compared With Thirteen Weeks Ended May 6, 2018

Total Revenue

Total revenue in the first quarter of 2019 was $2.356 billion as compared to $2.315 billion in the first quarter of the prior year. The increase in revenue of $42 million, or 2%, was due principally to the effect of the following items:

The addition of an aggregate $36 million of revenue, or a 4% increase over the prior year period, attributable to our Tommy Hilfiger International and Tommy Hilfiger North America segments, which included a negative impact of $57 million, or 6%, related to foreign currency translation. Tommy Hilfiger International segment revenue increased 4% (including an 8% negative foreign currency impact), primarily driven by strong performance in Europe. Tommy Hilfiger International comparable store sales increased 9%. Revenue in our Tommy Hilfiger North America segment increased 3%, primarily attributable to growth in the North America wholesale business, partially offset by a 4% decline in Tommy Hilfiger North America comparable store sales.

The net reduction of an aggregate $0.4 million of revenue, attributable to our Calvin Klein International and Calvin Klein North America segments, which included a negative impact of $36 million, or 4%, related to foreign currency translation. Calvin Klein International segment revenue decreased 2% (including a 7% negative foreign currency impact), as solid growth in Europe was more than offset by the negative impacts of foreign currency translation and weakness in China. Calvin Klein International comparable store sales decreased 4%. Revenue in our Calvin Klein North America segment increased 2% (including a 1% negative foreign currency impact), due to an increase in the wholesale business, partially offset by a 5% decline in Calvin Klein North America comparable store sales.


35




The net addition of an aggregate $6 million of revenue, or a 1% increase over the prior year period, attributable to our Heritage Brands Retail and Heritage Brands Wholesale segments, due to an increase in the wholesale business, partially offset by a 6% decline in comparable store sales.

We currently expect that revenue will increase approximately 3% in 2019 compared to 2018, inclusive of a negative impact of approximately 2% related to foreign currency translation. Revenue for the Tommy Hilfiger business is expected to increase approximately 6% compared to 2018, inclusive of a negative impact of approximately 3% related to foreign currency translation. Revenue for the Calvin Klein business is expected to be flat compared to 2018, inclusive of a negative impact of approximately 2% related to foreign currency translation. Revenue for our Heritage Brands business is expected to be flat compared to 2018. Our 2019 guidance reflects the addition of revenue resulting from the Australia acquisition and assumes that the pending TH CSAP acquisition will also close in the second quarter of 2019. These acquisitions are expected to add approximately $150 million of revenue in 2019.

Gross Profit

Gross profit is calculated as total revenue less cost of goods sold and gross margin is calculated as gross profit divided by total revenue. Included as cost of goods sold are costs associated with the production and procurement of product, such as inbound freight costs, purchasing and receiving costs and inspection costs. Also included as cost of goods sold are the amounts recognized on foreign currency forward exchange contracts as the underlying inventory hedged by such forward exchange contracts is sold. Warehousing and distribution expenses are included in SG&A expenses. All of our royalty, advertising and other revenue is included in gross profit because there is no cost of goods sold associated with such revenue. As a result, our gross profit may not be comparable to that of other entities.

Gross profit in the first quarter of 2019 was $1.296 billion, or 55.0% of total revenue, as compared to $1.291 billion, or 55.8% of total revenue, in the first quarter of the prior year. The 80 basis point decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by a gross margin decline in our North America businesses, principally due to more promotional selling as compared to the first quarter of the prior year.

We currently expect that gross margin for the full year 2019 will increase as compared to 2018 due to (i) the impact of expected faster growth in our Tommy Hilfiger International and Calvin Klein International segments than in our North America segments, as our International segments generally carry higher gross margins, and (ii) an expected increase in gross margin in our Calvin Klein business in the second half of the year due to less promotional selling resulting from the restructuring initiatives being implemented related to our creative and design functions. These increases will be partially offset by short-lived noncash valuation adjustments expected to be recorded principally in connection with the Australia acquisition.

SG&A Expenses

SG&A expenses in the first quarter of 2019 were $1.161 billion, or 49.3% of total revenue, as compared to $1.053 billion, or 45.5% of total revenue, in the first quarter of the prior year. The 380 basis point increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenue was principally attributable to costs incurred in connection with the Calvin Klein restructuring and the TH U.S. store closures. These increases were partially offset by overall lower operating expenses in our Calvin Klein business and the absence in 2019 of costs that were recorded in the first quarter of 2018 in connection with the TH China acquisition, consisting of noncash amortization of short-lived assets.

We currently expect that SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenue for the full year 2019 will increase as compared to 2018 due to (i) an increase in costs incurred and expected to be incurred in connection with the Calvin Klein restructuring, (ii) costs incurred in connection with the TH U.S. store closures, (iii) costs expected to be incurred in connection with the Australia acquisition and the TH CSAP acquisition, primarily consisting of noncash valuation adjustments and amortization of short-lived assets, and (iv) a change in the mix of business due to faster growth in our Tommy Hilfiger International and Calvin Klein International segments than in our North America segments, as our International segments generally carry higher SG&A expenses as percentages of total revenue. These increases will be partially offset by the absence in 2019 of costs that were recorded in 2018 in connection with the TH China acquisition, consisting of noncash amortization of short-lived assets.

Non-Service Related Pension and Postretirement (Income) Cost

Non-service related pension and postretirement (income) in the first quarter of 2019 was $(2) million as compared to $(3) million in the first quarter of the prior year.


36




We currently expect that non-service related pension and postretirement (income) for the full year 2019 will be approximately $(7) million compared to non-service related pension and postretirement cost of $5 million in 2018. Non-service related pension and postretirement (income) cost recorded throughout the year is calculated using actuarial valuations that incorporate assumptions and estimates about financial market, economic and demographic conditions. Differences between estimated and actual results give rise to gains and losses that are recorded immediately in earnings, generally in the fourth quarter of the year, which can create volatility in our results of operations. Our 2018 non-service related pension and postretirement cost included a $15 million actuarial loss on our retirement plans recorded in the fourth quarter. Our actual 2019 non-service related pension and postretirement (income) cost may be significantly different than our projections, as our expectation for 2019 assumes there is no actuarial gain or loss.

Debt Modification and Extinguishment Costs

We incurred costs totaling $5 million during the first quarter of 2019 in connection with the refinancing of our senior credit facilities. Please see the section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for further discussion.

Equity in Net Income of Unconsolidated Affiliates

The equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates was $4 million in each of the first quarters of 2019 and 2018. These amounts relate to our share of income from our PVH Australia joint venture, our joint venture for the TOMMY HILFIGER, CALVIN KLEIN, Warner’s, Olga and Speedo brands in Mexico, our joint ventures for the TOMMY HILFIGER brand in India and Brazil, and for the CALVIN KLEIN brand in India. Also included is our share of (loss) income from our investments in Karl Lagerfeld Holding B.V. (“Karl Lagerfeld”) and in Gazal. Our investments in the joint ventures, Karl Lagerfeld and Gazal are being accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Please see the section entitled “Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates” within “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for further discussion.

We currently expect that our equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates for the full year 2019 will decrease as compared to 2018 as the income we recognize on our investments in Gazal and PVH Australia in 2019 will only be for a partial year. Following the closing of the Australia acquisition on May 31, 2019, we began to consolidate the results of Gazal and PVH Australia into our financial statements.

Interest Expense, Net

Net interest expense increased to $30 million in the first quarter of 2019 from $28 million in the first quarter of the prior year.

Net interest expense for the full year 2019 is currently expected to be approximately $120 million compared to $116 million in 2018.

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2019 was 22.4% compared to 17.1% in the first quarter of the prior year.

Our effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2019 was higher than the United States statutory income tax rate due to the tax on foreign earnings in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations (known as “GILTI”) imposed by the United States Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “U.S. Tax Legislation”), offset by the benefit of overall lower tax rates in certain international jurisdictions where we file tax returns.

Our effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2018 was lower than the United States statutory income tax rate primarily due to the benefit of overall lower tax rates in certain international jurisdictions where we file tax returns.

We file income tax returns in more than 40 international jurisdictions each year. A substantial amount of our earnings comes from our international operations, particularly in the Netherlands and Hong Kong, where income tax rates, coupled with special rates levied on income from certain of our jurisdictional activities, are lower than the United States statutory income tax rate.

We currently expect that our effective income tax rate for the full year 2019 will be in a range of 14.5% to 15.5%. Our expectation that our effective income tax rate for the full year 2019 will be lower than the United States statutory income tax rate is principally due to the overall benefit of certain discrete items, including the favorable impact on certain liabilities for uncertain tax positions. Our expectation that the effective income tax rate for the full year 2019 will increase compared to 4.0% for the full year 2018 is primarily due to (i) the absence of a 5.3% benefit to our 2018 effective income tax rate related to the remeasurement of certain of our net deferred tax liabilities in connection with the enactment of legislation in the Netherlands

37




known as the “2019 Dutch Tax Plan” and (ii) the absence of a 3.2% benefit to our 2018 effective income tax rate related to the U.S. Tax Legislation.

Our tax rate is affected by many factors, including the mix of international and domestic pre-tax earnings, discrete events arising from specific transactions, and new regulations, as well as audits by tax authorities and the receipt of new information, any of which can cause us to change our estimate for uncertain tax positions.

Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest

We have a joint venture in Ethiopia with Arvind Limited (“Arvind”) named PVH Manufacturing Private Limited Company (“PVH Ethiopia”), in which we own a 75% interest. We consolidate the results of PVH Ethiopia in our consolidated financial statements. PVH Ethiopia was formed to operate a manufacturing facility that produces finished products for us for distribution primarily in the United States.

The net loss attributable to the redeemable non-controlling interest (“RNCI”) in PVH Ethiopia was immaterial in the first quarters of 2019 and 2018. We currently expect that the net loss attributable to the RNCI for the full year 2019 will be immaterial. Please see Note 5, “Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flow Summary

Cash and cash equivalents at May 5, 2019 was $494 million, an increase of $42 million from the amount at February 3, 2019 of $452 million. The change in cash and cash equivalents included the impact of (i) $284 million of borrowings outstanding under our senior unsecured revolving credit facilities and (ii) $59 million of common stock repurchases under the stock repurchase program. The seasonality of our business results in significant fluctuations in our cash balance between fiscal year end and subsequent interim periods due to the timing of inventory purchases and peak sales periods. Cash flow for the full year 2019 will be impacted by various factors in addition to those noted below in this “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section, including (i) expected long-term debt repayments of approximately $150 million, (ii) expected common stock repurchases under the stock repurchase program of approximately $200 million (iii) the expected net payment of approximately A$92 million (approximately $64 million based on the exchange rate in effect on the date of the acquisition) related to the Australia acquisition, which is the portion expected to be paid in 2019 of the total net consideration of approximately A$124 million (approximately $86 million based on the exchange rate in effect on the date of the acquisition), and (iv) the expected consideration to be paid for the TH CSAP acquisition, which is estimated to be approximately $75 million.

As of May 5, 2019, approximately $465 million of cash and cash equivalents was held by international subsidiaries. Our intent is to reinvest indefinitely substantially all of our earnings in foreign subsidiaries outside of the United States. However, if management decides at a later date to repatriate these earnings to the United States, we may be required to accrue and pay additional taxes, including any applicable foreign withholding tax and United States state income taxes. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of tax that might be payable if these earnings were repatriated due to the complexities associated with the hypothetical calculation.

Operations

Cash used by operating activities was $73 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to $126 million in the first quarter of 2018. The decrease in cash used by operating activities as compared to the prior year period was primarily driven by changes in working capital, including a favorable change in trade receivables and inventories, partially offset by a decrease in net income as adjusted for noncash charges.

In connection with our acquisition of Calvin Klein, we were obligated to pay Mr. Calvin Klein contingent purchase price payments based on 1.15% of total worldwide net sales (as defined in the acquisition agreement, as amended) of products bearing any of the CALVIN KLEIN brands with respect to sales made through February 12, 2018. A significant portion of the sales on which the payments to Mr. Klein have been made were wholesale sales by us and our licensees and other partners to retailers. Contingent purchase price payments totaled $15 million in the first quarter of 2018. The final payment due to Mr. Klein of $1 million was made in the second quarter of 2018. All contingent purchase price payments are subject to audit, as per the terms of the acquisition agreement.


38




Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures were $77 million in each of the first quarters of 2019 and 2018. We currently expect that capital expenditures for the full year 2019 will be approximately $425 million and will include expenditures primarily related to (i) investments in new stores and store expansions, (ii) continued investments to upgrade and enhance our operating, supply chain and logistics systems and our digital commerce platforms, and (iii) the expansion of our warehouse and distribution network in North America.

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

We received dividends of $4 million from our investments in unconsolidated affiliates during the first quarter of 2018.

Subsequent to the end of the first quarter, we acquired on May 31, 2019 the approximately 78% interest in Gazal that we did not already own. PVH Australia came under our full control as a result of the Australia acquisition. The aggregate net purchase price for the shares acquired is expected to be approximately A$124 million (approximately $86 million based on the exchange rate in effect on the date of the acquisition), after taking into account the pending divestiture to a third party of an office building and warehouse owned by Gazal, of which approximately A$92 million (approximately $64 million based on the exchange rate in effect on the date of the acquisition) is expected to be paid in 2019.

Loan to a Supplier

Wuxi Jinmao Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. (“Wuxi”), one of our finished goods inventory suppliers, has a wholly owned subsidiary with which we entered into a loan agreement in 2016. Under the agreement, Wuxi’s subsidiary borrowed a principal amount of $14 million for the development and operation of a fabric mill. Principal payments are due in semi-annual installments beginning March 31, 2018 through September 30, 2026. The outstanding principal balance of the loan bears interest at a rate of (i) 4.50% per annum until the sixth anniversary of the closing date of the loan and (ii) London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) plus 4.00% thereafter. We received principal payments of $200,000 and $100,000 during the first quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively. The outstanding balance, including accrued interest, was $13 million as of May 5, 2019 and $14 million as of both February 3, 2019 and May 6, 2018.

Acquisition of the Geoffrey Beene Tradename

We acquired the Geoffrey Beene tradename on April 20, 2018 for $17 million, of which $16 million was paid in cash. Please see Note 4, “Acquisitions,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.

TH CSAP Acquisition

We entered on March 25, 2019 into a definitive agreement to acquire the Tommy Hilfiger retail business in Hong Kong and certain other countries in Central and Southeast Asia from our current licensee in those markets. The purchase price is estimated to be approximately $75 million. The closing is subject to customary conditions and regulatory approval and is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2019.

Dividends

Our common stock currently pays annual dividends totaling $0.15 per share. Dividends on common stock totaled $6 million in each of the first quarters of 2019 and 2018.

We currently project that cash dividends on our common stock for the full year 2019 will be approximately $11 million based on our current dividend rate, the number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of May 5, 2019, our estimate of stock to be issued during the full year 2019 under our stock incentive plans and our estimate of stock repurchases for the full year 2019.

Acquisition of Treasury Shares

Our Board of Directors authorized a $2.0 billion stock repurchase program through June 3, 2023. Repurchases under the program may be made from time to time over the period through open market purchases, accelerated share repurchase programs, privately negotiated transactions or other methods, as we deem appropriate. Purchases are made based on a variety of factors, such as price, corporate requirements and overall market conditions, applicable legal requirements and limitations, trading restrictions under our insider trading policy and other relevant factors. The program may be modified by the Board of

39




Directors, including to increase or decrease the repurchase limitation or extend, suspend, or terminate the program, at any time, without prior notice.

During the first quarters of 2019 and 2018, we purchased approximately 500,000 shares and 400,000 shares, respectively, of our common stock under the program in open market transactions for $61 million and $54 million, respectively. Purchases of $2 million were accrued for in both the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of May 5, 2019 and May 6, 2018. Purchases of $2 million that were accrued for in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 4, 2018 were paid in the first quarter of 2018. The repurchased shares were held as treasury stock and $947 million of the authorization remained available for future share repurchases as of May 5, 2019.

Treasury stock activity also includes shares that were withheld principally in conjunction with the settlement of restricted stock units and performance share units to satisfy tax withholding requirements.

The balance of short-term borrowings as of May 5, 2019 includes borrowings outstanding under our senior unsecured revolving credit facilities, which are expected to be repaid by the end of 2019. In addition, we had $494 million, $452 million and $435 million of cash and cash equivalents as of May 5, 2019, February 3, 2019 and May 6, 2018, respectively.

Short-Term Borrowings

We have the ability to draw revolving borrowings under our senior unsecured credit facilities, as discussed in the section entitled “2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities” below. We had $284 million outstanding under these facilities as of May 5, 2019. The weighted average interest rate on funds borrowed as of May 5, 2019 was 3.85%. The maximum amount of revolving borrowings outstanding under these facilities during the first quarter of 2019 was $284 million.

Additionally, we have the availability to borrow under short-term lines of credit, overdraft facilities and short-term revolving credit facilities denominated in various foreign currencies. These facilities provided for borrowings of up to $98 million based on exchange rates in effect on May 5, 2019 and are utilized primarily to fund working capital needs. We had $15 million outstanding under these facilities as of May 5, 2019. The weighted average interest rate on funds borrowed as of May 5, 2019 was 0.20%. The maximum amount of borrowings outstanding under these facilities during the first quarter of 2019 was $18 million.

Finance Lease Liabilities

Our cash payments for finance lease liabilities totaled $1 million in each of the first quarters of 2019 and 2018.

2016 Senior Secured Credit Facilities

On May 19, 2016, we entered into an amendment to our senior secured credit facilities (as amended, the “2016 facilities”). We replaced the 2016 facilities with new senior unsecured credit facilities on April 29, 2019 as discussed in the section entitled “2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities” below. The 2016 facilities, as of the date they were replaced, consisted of a $2.347 billion United States dollar-denominated Term Loan A facility and senior secured revolving credit facilities consisting of (i) a $475 million United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility, (ii) a $25 million United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility available in United States dollars and Canadian dollars and (iii) a €186 million euro-denominated revolving credit facility available in euro, British pound sterling, Japanese yen and Swiss francs.

2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities

We refinanced the 2016 facilities on April 29, 2019 (the “Closing Date”) by entering into senior unsecured credit facilities (the “2019 facilities”), the proceeds of which, along with cash on hand, were used to repay all of the outstanding borrowings under the 2016 facilities, as well as the related debt issuance costs.

The 2019 facilities consist of a $1.093 billion United States dollar-denominated Term Loan A facility (the “USD TLA facility”), a €500 million euro-denominated Term Loan A facility (the “Euro TLA facility” and together with the USD TLA facility, the “TLA facilities”) and senior unsecured revolving credit facilities consisting of (i) a $675 million United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility, (ii) a CAD $70 million Canadian dollar-denominated revolving credit facility available in United States dollars or Canadian dollars, (iii) a €200 million euro-denominated revolving credit facility available in euro, British pound sterling, Japanese yen, Swiss francs, Australian dollars and other agreed foreign currencies and (iv) a $50 million United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility available in United States dollars or Hong Kong dollars. The 2019 facilities are due on April 29, 2024. In connection with the refinancing of our senior credit facilities, we incurred debt issuance costs of $10 million (of which $3 million was expensed as debt modification costs and $7 million is being amortized over the term of the debt agreement) and recorded debt extinguishment costs of $2 million to write-off previously capitalized debt issuance costs. Of the $10 million of debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the refinancing of our senior credit facilities, $6 million were paid and $4 million were accrued for as of May 5, 2019.

Each of the senior unsecured revolving facilities, except for the $50 million United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility available in United States dollars or Hong Kong dollars, also include amounts available for letters of credit. A portion of each of these revolving credit facilities are also available for the making of swingline loans. The issuance of such letters of credit and the making of any swingline loan reduces the amount available under the applicable revolving credit facility. So long as certain conditions are satisfied, we may add one or more senior unsecured term loan facilities or increase the commitments under the senior unsecured revolving credit facilities by an aggregate amount not to exceed $1.5 billion. The lenders under the 2019 facilities are not required to provide commitments with respect to such additional facilities or increased commitments.

We had loans outstanding of $1.644 billion, net of debt issuance costs and based on applicable exchange rates, under the TLA facilities, $284 million of borrowings outstanding under the senior unsecured revolving credit facilities and $20 million of outstanding letters of credit under the senior unsecured revolving credit facilities as of May 5, 2019.
 
The terms of the TLA facilities require us to make quarterly repayments of amounts outstanding under the 2019 facilities, commencing with the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2019. Such required repayment amounts equal 2.50% per annum of the principal amount outstanding on the Closing Date for the first eight calendar quarters following the Closing Date, 5.00% per annum of the principal amount outstanding on the Closing Date for the four calendar quarters thereafter and 7.50% per annum of the principal amount outstanding on the Closing Date for the remaining calendar quarters, in each case paid in equal installments and in each case subject to certain customary adjustments, with the balance due on the maturity date of the TLA facilities. The outstanding borrowings under the 2019 facilities are prepayable at any time without penalty (other than customary breakage costs). Any voluntary repayments we make would reduce the future required repayment amounts.

We made no repayments on our term loans under the 2019 facilities and 2016 facilities during the first quarters of 2019 and 2018, other than the repayment of the 2016 facilities in connection with the refinancing of the senior credit facilities.

The United States dollar-denominated borrowings under the 2019 facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, as determined at our option, either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the greater of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the United States federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1.00% and (iii) a one-month reserve adjusted Eurocurrency rate plus 1.00% or (b) an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the 2019 facilities.

The Canadian dollar-denominated borrowings under the 2019 facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, as determined at our option, either (a) a Canadian prime rate determined by reference to the greater of (i) the rate of interest per annum that Royal Bank of Canada establishes as the reference rate of interest in order to determine interest rates for loans in Canadian dollars to its Canadian borrowers and (ii) the average of the rates per annum for Canadian dollar bankers' acceptances having a term of one month or (b) an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the 2019 facilities.

The Hong Kong dollar-denominated borrowings under the 2019 facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the 2019 facilities.


41




The borrowings under the 2019 facilities in currencies other than United States dollars, Canadian dollars or Hong Kong dollars bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the 2019 facilities.

The current applicable margin with respect to the TLA facilities and each revolving credit facility is 1.375% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 0.375% for base rate or Canadian prime rate loans. The applicable margin for borrowings under the TLA facilities and the revolving credit facilities is subject to adjustment (i) after the date of delivery of the compliance certificate and financial statements, with respect to each of our fiscal quarters, based upon our net leverage ratio or (ii) after the date of delivery of notice of a change in our public debt rating by Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s.

We entered into interest rate swap agreements designed with the intended effect of converting notional amounts of our variable rate debt obligation to fixed rate debt. Under the terms of the agreements, for the outstanding notional amount, our exposure to fluctuations in the one-month LIBOR is eliminated and we pay a fixed rate plus the current applicable margin. The following interest rate swap agreements were entered into or in effect during the first quarter of 2019 and/or the first quarter of 2018:

The notional amounts of the outstanding interest rate swaps that commenced in February 2018 and February 2019 are adjusted according to pre-set schedules during the terms of the swap agreements such that, based on our projections for future debt repayments, our outstanding debt under the USD TLA facility is expected to always equal or exceed the combined notional amount of the then-outstanding interest rate swaps.

7 3/4% Debentures Due 2023

We have outstanding $100 million of debentures due November 15, 2023 that accrue interest at the rate of 7 3/4%. The debentures are not redeemable at our option prior to maturity.

3 5/8% Euro Senior Notes Due 2024

We have outstanding €350 million euro-denominated principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due July 15, 2024. Interest on the notes is payable in euros. We may redeem some or all of these notes at any time prior to April 15, 2024 by paying a “make whole” premium plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, we may redeem some or all of these notes on or after April 15, 2024 at their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

3 1/8% Euro Senior Notes Due 2027

We have outstanding €600 million euro-denominated principal amount of 3 1/8% senior notes due December 15, 2027. Interest on the notes is payable in euros. We may redeem some or all of these notes at any time prior to September 15, 2027 by paying a “make whole” premium plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, we may redeem some or all of these notes on or after September 15, 2027 at their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

Our financing arrangements contain financial and non-financial covenants and customary events of default. As of May 5, 2019, we were in compliance with all applicable financial and non-financial covenants under our financing arrangements.

As of May 5, 2019, our issuer credit was rated BBB- by Standard & Poor’s with a stable outlook and our corporate credit was rated Baa3 by Moody’s with a stable outlook. In assessing our credit strength, we believe that both Standard & Poor’s and

42




Moody’s considered, among other things, our capital structure and financial policies, our consolidated balance sheet, our historical acquisition activity and other financial information, as well as industry and other qualitative factors.

Please see Note 9, “Debt,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for a schedule of mandatory long-term debt repayments for the remainder of 2019 through 2024.

Please see Note 8, “Debt,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 3, 2019 for further discussion of our debt.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our consolidated financial statements are based on the selection and application of significant accounting policies, which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. Our significant accounting policies are outlined in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 3, 2019. We adopted, effective the first quarter of 2019, accounting guidance related to leases. The guidance requires that we recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability in the balance sheet for most leases, but retains an expense recognition model similar to the current guidance. Please see Note 22, “Recent Accounting Guidance,” and Note 16, “Leases,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion. We also adopted, effective the first quarter of 2019, accounting guidance related to implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. The update aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred under such arrangements with the requirements for capitalizing costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. Under previous accounting guidance, we generally expensed the implementation costs incurred in connection with a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. Please see Note 22, “Recent Accounting Guidance,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion. During the first quarter of 2019, there were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 3, 2019, except for the items mentioned above.

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Financial instruments held by us as of May 5, 2019 include cash and cash equivalents, short-term borrowings, long-term debt, foreign currency forward exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements. Note 12, “Fair Value Measurements,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report outlines the fair value of our financial instruments as of May 5, 2019. Cash and cash equivalents held by us are affected by short-term interest rates, which are currently low. The potential for a significant decrease in short-term interest rates is low due to the currently low rates of return we are receiving on our cash and cash equivalents and, therefore, a further decrease would not have a material impact on our interest income. However, there is potential for a more significant increase in short-term interest rates, which could have a more material impact on our interest income. Given our balance of cash and cash equivalents at May 5, 2019, the effect of a 10 basis point change in short-term interest rates on our interest income would be approximately $500,000 annually. Borrowings under our 2019 facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus a variable rate. As such, our 2019 facilities expose us to market risk for changes in interest rates. We have entered into interest rate swap agreements for the intended purpose of reducing our exposure to interest rate volatility. As of May 5, 2019, after taking into account the effect of our interest rate swap agreements that were in effect as of such date, approximately 60% of our long-term debt was at a fixed interest rate, with the remainder at variable interest rates. Given our long-term debt position at May 5, 2019, the effect of a 10 basis point change in interest rates on our variable interest expense would be approximately $1 million annually. Please refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section included in Part I, Item 2 of this report for further discussion of our credit facilities and interest rate swap agreements.

Our Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein businesses each have substantial international components that expose us to significant foreign exchange risk. Our Heritage Brands business also has international components but those components are not significant to the business. Over 50% of our $9.657 billion of revenue in 2018 was generated outside of the United States. Changes in exchange rates between the United States dollar and other currencies can impact our financial results in two ways: a translational impact and a transactional impact.

The translational impact refers to the impact that changes in exchange rates can have on our results of operations and financial position. The functional currencies of our foreign subsidiaries are generally the applicable local currencies. Our consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The results of operations in local foreign currencies are translated into United States dollars using an average exchange rate over the representative period and the assets and liabilities in local foreign currencies are translated into United States dollars using the closing exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Foreign exchange differences that arise from the translation of our foreign subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities into United States dollars are recorded as foreign currency translation adjustments in other comprehensive (loss) income. Accordingly, our results of operations and other comprehensive (loss) income will be unfavorably impacted during times of a strengthening United States dollar, particularly against the euro, the Brazilian real, the Japanese yen, the Korean won, the British pound sterling, the Canadian dollar and the Chinese yuan renminbi, and favorably impacted during times of a weakening United States dollar against those currencies.

In the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019, we recognized unfavorable foreign currency translation adjustments of $112 million within other comprehensive (loss) income principally driven by a strengthening of the United States dollar against the euro of 3% since February 3, 2019. Our foreign currency translation adjustments recorded in other comprehensive (loss) income are significantly impacted by the substantial amount of goodwill and other intangible assets denominated in the euro, which represented 33% of our $7.1 billion total goodwill and other intangible assets as of May 5, 2019. This translational impact was partially mitigated by the change in the fair value of our net investment hedges discussed below.

A transactional impact on financial results is common for apparel companies operating outside the United States that purchase goods in United States dollars, as is the case with most of our foreign operations. As with translation, our results of operations will be unfavorably impacted during times of a strengthening United States dollar as the increased local currency value of inventory results in a higher cost of goods in local currency when the goods are sold and favorably impacted during times of a weakening United States dollar as the decreased local currency value of inventory results in a lower cost of goods in local currency when the goods are sold. We also have exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to certain intercompany transactions and SG&A expenses. We currently use and plan to continue to use foreign currency forward exchange contracts or other derivative instruments to mitigate the cash flow or market value risks associated with these inventory and intercompany transactions, but we are unable to entirely eliminate these risks. The foreign currency forward exchange contracts cover at least 70% of the projected inventory purchases in United States dollars by our foreign subsidiaries.

Given our foreign currency forward exchange contracts outstanding at May 5, 2019, the effect of a 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates against the United States dollar would result in a change in the fair value of these contracts of

44




approximately $100 million. Any change in the fair value of these contracts would be substantially offset by a change in the fair value of the underlying hedged items.

In order to mitigate a portion of our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to the value of our investments in foreign subsidiaries denominated in the euro, we designated the carrying amount of our €950 million aggregate principal amount of euro-denominated senior notes that we had issued in the United States as net investment hedges of our investments in certain of our foreign subsidiaries that use the euro as their functional currency. The effect of a 10% change in the euro against the United States dollar would result in a change in the fair value of the net investment hedges of approximately $105 million. Any change in the fair value of the net investment hedges would be more than offset by a change in the value of our investments in certain of our European subsidiaries. Additionally, during times of a weakening United States dollar against the euro, we would be required to use a greater amount of our cash flows from operations to pay interest and make long-term debt repayments on our euro-denominated senior notes.

Included in the calculations of expense and liabilities for our pension plans are various assumptions, including return on assets, discount rates, mortality rates and future compensation increases. Actual results could differ from these assumptions, which would require adjustments to our balance sheet and could result in volatility in our future pension expense. Holding all other assumptions constant, a 1% change in the assumed rate of return on assets would result in a change to 2019 net benefit cost related to the pension plans of approximately $6 million. Likewise, a 0.25% change in the assumed discount rate would result in a change to 2019 net benefit cost of approximately $31 million.

ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating & Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating & Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating & Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We implemented internal controls in connection with our adoption of the new lease accounting guidance in the first quarter of 2019. There have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(1) Our Board of Directors authorized a $2.0 billion stock repurchase program through June 3, 2023, of which $750 million was newly authorized on March 26, 2019. Repurchases under the program may be made from time to time over the period through open market purchases, accelerated share repurchase programs, privately negotiated transactions or other methods, as we deem appropriate. Purchases are made based on a variety of factors, such as price, corporate requirements and overall market conditions, applicable legal requirements and limitations, trading restrictions under our insider trading policy and other relevant factors. The program may be modified by the Board of Directors, including to increase or decrease the repurchase limitation or extend, suspend, or terminate the program, at any time, without prior notice.

(2) Our 2006 Stock Incentive Plan provides us with the right to deduct or withhold, or require employees to remit to us, an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable tax withholding requirements applicable to stock-based compensation awards. To the extent permitted, employees may elect to satisfy all or part of such withholding requirements by tendering previously owned shares or by having us withhold shares having a fair market value equal to the minimum statutory tax withholding rate that could be imposed on the transaction. Included in this table are shares withheld during the first quarter of 2019 principally in connection with the settlement of restricted stock units and performance share units to satisfy tax withholding requirements, in addition to the shares repurchased as part of the stock repurchase program discussed above.

Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 3.02, the Issuing Bank shall issue the requested Letter of Credit only in accordance with the Issuing Bank’s standard operating procedures. Upon the issuance of any European Letter of Credit or amendment or modification to a European Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and each Lender with a European Revolving Commitment of such issuance, or amendment or modification and the amount of such Lender’s respective participation in such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.04(e).

In determining whether to honor any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the applicable Issuing Bank shall be responsible only to examine the documents delivered under such Letter of Credit with reasonable care so as to ascertain whether they appear on their face to be in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. As between the Borrowers and the applicable Issuing Bank, each Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by the applicable Issuing Bank by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank, including any Governmental Acts; none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the Issuing Bank’s rights or powers hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing and in furtherance thereof, no action taken or omitted by an Issuing Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith and in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), shall give rise to any liability on the part of such Issuing Bank to any Borrower; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse such Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages suffered by the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries that are determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the drawing of any European Letter of Credit in an Approved Issuing Currency which is not an Approved Currency, unless the European Borrower has notified such Issuing Bank that it intends to reimburse the Issuing Bank on before the Reimbursement Date (and does so reimburse), the applicable Issuing Bank shall convert the European Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.04(d) into an obligation in Euros (which shall be computed by the applicable Issuing Bank based on the Exchange Rate in effect for the date on which such conversion occurs).
Nothing in this Section 2.04(d) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender with a Revolving Commitment from its obligation to make Revolving Loans on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and each Borrower shall retain any and all rights it may have against any such Lender resulting from the failure of such Lender to make such Revolving Loans under this Section 2.04(d). For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender’s obligation to fund Revolving Loans pursuant to this clause (d) shall be subject to Section 2.05(a).

(g)    Indemnification. Without duplication of any obligation of the Borrowers under Section 10.02 or 10.03, in addition to amounts payable as provided herein, each Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Issuing Bank from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel) which any Issuing Bank may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit by such Issuing Bank for the account of such Borrower, other than as a result of (1) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank or (2) the dishonor by the Issuing Bank of a demand for payment made in compliance with the provisions hereunder or under the Letter of Credit, in each case, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) the failure of such Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under any such Letter of Credit as a result of any Governmental Act.

(h)    Resignation and Removal of Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may resign as Issuing Bank upon 60 days (or, if such Issuing Bank is not a Lender, 45 days) prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower Representative. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank (provided that no consent of the replaced Issuing Bank will be required if the replaced Issuing Bank has no Letters of Credit or reimbursement Obligations with respect thereto outstanding) and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of such Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement or resignation shall become effective, the applicable Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank.

After the replacement or resignation of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto to the extent that Letters of Credit issued by it remain outstanding and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement or resignation, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or to renew existing Letters of Credit.

(k)    For all purposes of this Agreement, if on any date of determination a Letter of Credit has expired by its terms but any amount may still be drawn thereunder by reason of the operation of Rule 3.14 of the International Standby Practices (ISP98), such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be “outstanding” in the amount so remaining available to be drawn. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

Section 2.05    Pro Rata Shares; Availability of Funds; Affiliates.
(a)    Pro Rata Shares. All Loans shall be made, and all participations purchased, by Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares of the applicable Class of Loans, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby nor shall any Term Loan Commitments or any Revolving Commitments of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby.
(b)    Availability of Funds. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable Credit Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s Loan requested on such Credit Date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such Credit Date and the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount on such Credit Date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the customary rate set by the Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter, if such Loan is in Dollars, at the Base Rate, if such Loan is in Canadian Dollars, at the Canadian Prime Rate, and if such Loan is in Euros, Hong Kong Dollars or any Other Foreign Currency, at the rate certified by the Administrative Agent to be its cost of funds (from any source which it may reasonably select). If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the applicable Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent at the Base Rate if such Loan is in Dollars, at the Canadian Prime Rate if such Loan is in Canadian Dollars, and at the rate certified by the Administrative Agent to be its cost of funds (from any source which it may reasonably select) if such Loan is in Euros, Hong Kong Dollars or any Other Foreign Currency. Nothing in this Section 2.05(b) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Term Loan Commitments and Revolving Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.
(c)    Affiliates. Each Lender may, at its option, make any Loan available to the U.S. Borrower, European Borrower or the Hong Kong Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that (i) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the European Borrower or the Hong Kong Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) any Lender that exercises such option shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.19 or 2.20 than such Lender would have been entitled to receive had such option not been exercised.

Section 2.06    Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans on the Closing Date will be used by the U.S. Borrower to finance the Transactions and for working capital or other general corporate purposes. The proceeds of the Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans, and Letters of Credit shall be applied by the applicable Borrower for working capital or other general corporate purposes of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. The proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans shall be applied by the applicable Borrower for working capital or other general corporate purposes of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

Section 2.07    Evidence of Debt; Register; Notes.
(a)    Lenders’ Evidence of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of each Borrower to such Lender, including the amounts of the Loans made by it and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof.
(b)    Register. The Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) acting for this purpose a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers shall maintain at its Principal Office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and the Revolving Commitment and Loans of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower Representative at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice and upon request (which may not be made more than once per month) the Administrative Agent shall provide a copy of the information in the Register to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall record, or shall cause to be recorded, in the Register the Revolving Commitments and the Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on each Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest error. Each Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as such Borrower’s agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.07, and each Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent the Administrative Agent serves in such capacity, the Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents, sub-agents and Affiliates shall constitute “Indemnitees.”
(c)    Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written notice to the Borrower Representative (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at least five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, or at any time thereafter, each applicable Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 10.06) on the Closing Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the Closing Date, promptly after such Borrower’s receipt of such notice) a Note or Notes to evidence such Lender’s Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans, as the case may be.

(i)    in the case of Tranche A Dollar Term Loans and Revolving Loans (other than European Revolving Loans and Hong Kong Revolving Loans denominated in Hong Kong Dollars) denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars:
(A)    if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin;
(B)    if a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, at the Eurocurrency Rate plus the Applicable Margin; or
(C)    if a Canadian Prime Rate Loan, at the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Applicable Margin;

If on any day a Loan is outstanding with respect to which a Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice has not been delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day such Loan, if a Loan denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, shall be a Base Rate Loan or a Canadian Prime Rate Loan, as applicable, and, if a Loan denominated in any other Approved Currency, shall be a Eurocurrency Rate Loan having an Interest Period of one month.
(c)    In connection with Eurocurrency Rate Loans there shall be no more than six Interest Periods outstanding at any time in respect of each of the Tranche A Dollar Term Loans, no more than six Interest Periods outstanding at any time in respect of each of the Tranche A Euro Term Loans, no more than 10 Interest Periods outstanding at any time in respect of the U.S. Revolving Loans, no more than five Interest Periods outstanding at any time in respect of the Canadian Revolving Loans, no more than 10 Interest Periods outstanding at any time in respect of the European Revolving Loans, and no more than five Interest Periods outstanding at any time in respect of the Hong Kong Revolving Loans.

In the event the Borrower Representative fails to specify an Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Rate Loan in the applicable Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, such Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month. As soon as practicable after 11:00 a.m.

73
US-DOCS\106883637.15



(New York City time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the Eurocurrency Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower Representative and each Lender. In the event that the Borrower Representative fails to specify between a Canadian Prime Rate Loan and a Eurocurrency Rate Loan in the applicable Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice for any Loan denominated in Canadian Dollars, such Loan (if outstanding as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan) shall be automatically converted into a Canadian Prime Rate Loan on the last day of the then‑current Interest Period for such Loan (or if outstanding as a Canadian Prime Rate Loan shall remain as, or (if not then outstanding) shall be made as, a Canadian Prime Rate Loan).
(d)    Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.08(a) shall be computed (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans and Canadian Prime Rate Loans, on the basis of a 365‑day or 366‑day year, as the case may be and (ii) (A) in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling or Hong Kong Dollars, on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as the case may be and (B) in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in a currency other than Pounds Sterling or Hong Kong Dollars, on the basis of a 360‑day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Term Loan, the last Interest Payment Date with respect to such Term Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan being converted from a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan to such Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan being converted to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan to such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided, that if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.
(e)    Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Loan shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment Date with respect to interest accrued on and to each such payment date; (ii) upon any prepayment of such Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid; provided, that with respect to any voluntary prepayment of a Base Rate Loan and a Canadian Prime Rate Loan, accrued interest shall instead be payable on the applicable Interest Payment Date and (iii) at maturity of such Loan, including final maturity of such Loan.
(f)    The applicable Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuing Bank, with respect to drawings honored under a Letter of Credit, interest on the amount paid by the Issuing Bank in respect of each such honored drawing from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date such amount is reimbursed by or on behalf of the applicable Borrower at a rate equal to (i) for the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the applicable Reimbursement Date, the rate of interest otherwise payable hereunder with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans (or if such Letter of Credit is denominated in Canadian Dollars, the Canadian

Prime Rate) or, with respect to Letters of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars or Canadian Dollars, Eurocurrency Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one month, and (ii) thereafter, a rate which is 2.00% per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable hereunder with respect to such Revolving Loans.
(g)    Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.08(f) shall be computed on the basis of a 365/366‑day year for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues, and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand is made, on the date on which the related drawing under a Letter of Credit is reimbursed in full. Promptly upon receipt by the Issuing Bank of any payment of interest pursuant to Section 2.08(f), the Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender, out of the interest received by the Issuing Bank in respect of the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date on which the Issuing Bank is reimbursed for the amount of such drawing (including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of any Revolving Loans), the amount that such Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the letter of credit fee that would have been payable in respect of such Letter of Credit for such period if no drawing had been honored under such Letter of Credit. In the event the Issuing Bank shall have been reimbursed by Lenders for all or any portion of such honored drawing, the Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under Section 2.04(e) with respect to such honored drawing such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any interest received by the Issuing Bank in respect of that portion of such honored drawing so reimbursed by Lenders for the period from the date on which the Issuing Bank was so reimbursed by Lenders to but excluding the date on which such portion of such honored drawing is reimbursed by the applicable Borrower.
(h)    For purposes of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever any interest under this Agreement is calculated using a rate based on a year of 360 days or 365 days, as the case may be, the rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (x) the applicable rate based on a year of 360 days or 365 days, as the case may be, (y) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest or fee is payable (or compounded) ends, and (z) divided by 360 or 365, as the case may be, (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement, and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.
Section 2.09    Conversion/Continuation.
(a)    Subject to Section 2.18 and so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, the Borrowers shall have the option:
(i)    to convert at any time all or any part of any Term Loan or Revolving Loan denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount from one Type of Loan to another Type of Loan; provided, that a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may only be converted on the expiration of the Interest Period applicable to such Eurocurrency Rate Loan unless the U.S. Borrower shall pay all amounts due under Section 2.18 in connection with any such conversion; or

75
US-DOCS\106883637.15



(ii)    upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, to continue all or any portion of such Loan equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan;
provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, no conversion or continuation of any Loan pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall affect the currency in which such Loan is denominated prior to any such conversion or continuation and each such Loan shall remain outstanding denominated in the currency originally issued.
(b)    The Borrower Representative shall deliver a Conversion/Continuation Notice to the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan), at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed Conversion/Continuation Date (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in U.S. Dollars or continuation of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in Euros or Pounds Sterling), at least four Business Days in advance of the proposed Conversion/Continuation Date (in the case of a continuation of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in Swiss Francs) and at least five Business Days in advance of the proposed Conversion/Continuation Date (in the case of a continuation of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in Hong Kong Dollars, Japanese Yen or Australian Dollars). Except as otherwise provided herein, a Conversion/Continuation Notice for conversion to, or continuation of, any Eurocurrency Rate Loans, shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and each Borrower shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith.

Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.10 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

(b)    All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan (other than voluntary prepayments of Revolving Loans, Base Rate Loans, Canadian Prime Rate Loans or Euro Overnight Index Average Rate Loans) shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid, and all such payments (and, in any event, any payments in respect of any Loan on a date when interest is due and payable with respect to such Loan) shall be applied to the payment of interest then due and payable before application to principal.

(e)    Subject to the provisos set forth in the definition of “Interest Period” as they may apply to Revolving Loans, whenever any payment to be made hereunder with respect to any Loan shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to Revolving Loans only, such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the Revolving Commitment fees hereunder.
(f)    The Administrative Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) or, with respect to European Revolving Loans or European Revolving Commitments, 12:00 p.m. (London, England time), to be a non‑conforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt electronic or telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) to the Borrower Representative and each applicable Lender if any payment is non‑conforming. Any non‑conforming payment may constitute or become a Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 8.01(a).
(g)    If an Event of Default shall have occurred and not otherwise been waived, and the maturity of the Obligations under the Loan Documents shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.01, all payments or proceeds received by Agents hereunder in respect of any of the Obligations under the Loan Documents, shall be applied in accordance with the application arrangements described in Section 2.15(b).

Section 2.17    Ratable Sharing. The Lenders to the U.S. Borrower agree among themselves, the Lenders to the European Borrower hereby agree among themselves, and the Lenders to the Hong Kong Borrower hereby agree among themselves, that, except as otherwise provided in any Security Document with respect to amounts realized from the exercise of rights with respect to any Collateral, if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set‑off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of Letters of Credit, fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided, that if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The provisions of this Section 2.17 shall not be construed to apply to (a) any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (b) any payment obtained by any Lender as consideration for the assignment or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or other Obligations owed to it. The provisions of this Section 2.17 are subject to any security or quasi-security arising in connection with any cash pooling, netting or set-off arrangement entered into by any Group Member in the ordinary course of its banking arrangements for the purpose of netting debit and credit balances.
Section 2.18    Making or Maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Loans.
(a)    Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event of any Market Disruption, the Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice (electronically or by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower Representative and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) with respect to Loans denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, (x) no Loans may be made as, or converted to, Eurocurrency Rate Loans until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Representative and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist and (y) any Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice given by the Borrower Representative with respect to the Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by the Borrower Representative, and (ii) with respect to Loans denominated in Euros, Hong Kong Dollars or Other Foreign Currency, if the Administrative Agent or the Borrower Representative so require, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative will negotiate in good faith for a period of not more than 30 days in order to agree on a mutually acceptable substitute basis for calculating the interest payable on

85
US-DOCS\106883637.15



the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans and, (x) if a substitute basis is agreed within that period between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative, then it shall apply in accordance with its terms (and may be retrospective to the beginning of the relevant Interest Period) and (y) unless and until a substitute basis is so agreed, the interest payable to such Lenders on the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans for the relevant Interest Period will be the rate confirmed in writing to the Administrative Agent by that Lender to be its cost of funds (from any source which it may reasonably select) plus the Applicable Margin.
(b)    Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any law, treaty, governmental rules, regulation or guideline or order, or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans as contemplated by this Agreement (such Lender an “Affected Lender”), (i) the Commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans, continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans as such and convert Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended until such time as it shall no longer be unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain the affected Loan and (ii) any such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, respectively, on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.18(c).
(c)    Compensation for Breakage or Non‑Commencement of Interest Periods. The applicable Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by such Lender to Lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Eurocurrency Rate Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or re‑employment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender actually sustains as a direct result of any of the following circumstances: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a borrowing of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Borrowing Notice, or a conversion to or continuation of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Conversion/Continuation Notice; (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment of, or any conversion of, any of its Eurocurrency Rate Loans occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan; or (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurocurrency Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the applicable Borrower or the Borrower Representative.
(d)    Booking of Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Eurocurrency Rate Loans at, to or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender.
(e)    Alternate Eurocurrency Rate. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that the circumstances set forth in clause (a) above have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a) above have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator

86
US-DOCS\106883637.15



of the Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Screen Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the Eurocurrency Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States, Europe, Hong Kong and/or Canada at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable Margin); provided that, if such alternate rate of interest as so determined would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.05, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (e), (A) the applicable Borrower will, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, either (x) prepay such Loan or (y) convert (to the extent permitted hereunder) such Loans into Base Rate Loans and (B) the obligation of the applicable Lenders to make, continue or to convert Loans into, Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended.
Section 2.19    Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.
(a)    Compensation For Increased Costs. In the event that any Lender (which term shall include the Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.19(a)) shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof (including, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued (but only to the extent actually implemented)), or any determination of a court or Governmental Authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date hereof by any central bank or other governmental or quasi‑governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law and including all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case, pursuant to Basel III, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued (but only to the extent actually implemented)): (i) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans that are reflected in the definition of Eurocurrency Rate); or (ii) imposes any other condition on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder or the London interbank market or the relevant off-shore interbank market for any Approved Currency; and the

87
US-DOCS\106883637.15



result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans hereunder or acquiring participations in, issuing or maintaining Letters of Credit hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, the applicable Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Representative (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.19(a), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.19(a) shall not apply to any Excluded Taxes or Indemnified Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document.
(b)    Capital Adequacy Adjustment. In the event that any Lender (which term shall include the Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.19(b)) shall have determined that the adoption, effectiveness, phase‑in or applicability after the Closing Date of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements, or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date hereof regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency (including, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case, pursuant to Basel III, regardless in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) of the date enacted, adopted or issued (but in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) only to the extent actually implemented)), has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Loans or Revolving Commitment or Letters of Credit, or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans or the Letters of Credit, to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase‑in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements), then from time to time, within five Business Days after receipt by the Borrower Representative from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence, the applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as shall compensate such Lender or such controlling corporation on an after‑tax basis for such reduction. Such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Representative (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.19(b), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

Section 2.20    Taxes; Withholding, Etc.
(a)    Payments to Be Free and Clear. Any and all sums payable by or on behalf of any Loan Party hereunder and under any other Loan Document shall (except to the extent required by law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Tax.
(b)    Withholding of Taxes. If any Loan Party or any other Person is required by law to make any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax from any sum paid or payable by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (which term shall include the Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.20(b)) under any of the Loan Documents: (i) the applicable Loan Party shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as the applicable Loan Party becomes aware of it; (ii) the applicable Borrower shall timely pay any such Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on any Loan Party) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on the Administrative Agent or such Lender) on behalf of and in the name of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with law; (iii) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by such Loan Party in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made (after taking into account any additional deduction, withholding or payment of any Indemnified Taxes on such increased payment); and (iv) as soon as practicable after any payment of Tax by a Loan Party, the applicable Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(c)    Evidence of Exemption From, or Reduction of, Withholding Tax. Any Lender (which term shall include the Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.20(c)) that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which any Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall, to the extent it may lawfully do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable requirements of law and reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable requirements of law and any other information as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in (c)(i) and (ii) below, the immediately subsequent sentence and, in the case of a U.S. Lender, the IRS Form W-9) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding

89
US-DOCS\106883637.15



Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of the foregoing sentence, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender that is not a “United States person” (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes and that is a Lender to a U.S. Loan (a “Non‑U.S. Lender”) (for this purpose, including any Commitment with respect thereto) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Administrative Agent for transmission to the Borrower Representative, on or prior to the Closing Date or on or prior to the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and at such other times as may be prescribed by law or as may be necessary in the determination of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (i) two copies of IRS Form W‑8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (claiming the benefits of any applicable income tax treaty), W‑8ECI, W‑8EXP and/or W‑8IMY (or, in each case, any successor forms), as applicable, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent to establish that such Lender is not subject to (or is subject to a reduced rate of) deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Loan Documents or (ii) if such Lender is not a “bank” or other Person described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is relying on the so-called “portfolio interest exemption,” a Certificate re Non‑Bank Status together with two copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of interest payable under any of the Loan Documents. Each Lender that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for United States federal income tax purposes (a “U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative on or prior to the Closing Date (or, if later, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement) two copies of IRS Form W‑9 (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, certifying that such U.S. Lender is exempt from United States backup withholding tax. Each Lender required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters pursuant to this Section 2.20(c) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect,

90
US-DOCS\106883637.15



that such Lender shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative two new copies of IRS Form W‑8BEN, W-8-BEN-E, W‑8ECI, W‑8IMY, W‑8EXP and/or W‑9 (or, in each case, any successor form), or a Certificate re Non‑Bank Status, as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent to confirm or establish that such Lender is not subject to (or is subject to a reduced rate of) deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents, or notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence. No Borrower shall be required to pay any additional amount to any Non‑U.S. Lender under Section 2.20(b)(iii) with respect to Indemnified Taxes imposed by reason of such Lender’s failure (1) to deliver the forms, certificates or other evidence required by this Section 2.20(c) or (2) to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence, as the case may be; provided, that if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirements to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence under this Section 2.20(c) on the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it became a Lender, nothing in this last sentence of Section 2.20(c) shall relieve any Loan Party of its obligation to pay any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20 in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof that becomes effective after such date, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender is not subject to withholding as described herein.
(d)    Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.20(b), each Loan Party shall timely pay, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, all Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authorities in accordance with applicable law. Each Loan Party or the Borrower Representative shall deliver to the Administrative Agent official receipts or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in respect of any Other Taxes payable hereunder promptly after payment of such Other Taxes.
(e)    If the Administrative Agent or a Lender (which term shall include the Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.20(e)) receives a refund of any amount as to which a Borrower has made any payments pursuant to this Section 2.20, the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall pay over any such refund to such Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of such Lender’s expenses and out-of-pocket costs (including Taxes) of such Administrative Agent or a Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (including any applicable interest, fees and penalties) in the event that the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to the relevant Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (e), in no event will the Administrative Agent or a Lender be required to pay any amount to a Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (e) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or a Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or the Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had

91
US-DOCS\106883637.15



not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Administrative Agent or a Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to a Borrower or any other Person.
(f)    The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and any Lender (which term shall include Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.20(f)), within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes for which additional amounts are required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.20(b) and Other Taxes, in each case arising in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including any such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.20) paid by the Administrative Agent or Lender or any of their respective Affiliates and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to such Loan Party shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Such payment shall be due within 30 days of such Loan Party’s receipt of such certificate.
Section 2.21    Obligation to Mitigate. Each Lender (which term shall include the Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.21) agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering its Loans or Letters of Credit, as the case may be, becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.20, it shall, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to (a) make, issue, fund or maintain its Credit Extensions through another office of such Lender or (b) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.20 would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Revolving Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect the interests of such Lender in any material respect; provided, that such Lender shall not be obligated to utilize such other office pursuant to this Section 2.21 unless the Borrower Representative agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other office as described above. A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by the Borrower Representative pursuant to this Section 2.21 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender to the Borrower Representative (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 2.21 shall relieve any Lender from its obligations pursuant to Section 2.20(c) of this Agreement.
Section 2.22    Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any obligations of any Lender to purchase participations in or otherwise refinance or support any Swing Line Loans or Letters of Credit exist at the time any Lender having

92
US-DOCS\106883637.15



a Revolving Commitment becomes a Defaulting Lender (such Lender, a “Defaulting Revolving Lender”) then:
(a)    all obligations of the applicable Defaulting Revolving Lender to purchase participations in or otherwise refinance or support such Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders of the applicable Class in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share thereof, but only to the extent (i) (x) with respect to U.S. Swing Line Loans and U.S. Letters of Credit, the sum of the non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders’ Pro Rata Shares of the Total Utilization of U.S. Revolving Commitments plus such Defaulting Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of U.S. Revolving Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders’ U.S. Revolving Commitments, (y) with respect to Canadian Swing Line Loans and Canadian Letters of Credit, the sum of the non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders’ Pro Rata Shares of the Total Utilization of Canadian Revolving Commitments plus such Defaulting Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Canadian Revolving Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders’ Canadian Revolving Commitments and (z) with respect to European Swing Line Loans and European Letters of Credit, the sum of the non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders’ Pro Rata Shares of the Total Utilization of European Revolving Commitments plus such Defaulting Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of European Revolving Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders’ European Revolving Commitments and (ii) in each case, the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 are satisfied at such time; it being understood that no reallocation will be made with respect to any non-Defaulting Revolving Lender to the extent such reallocation causes such non-Defaulting Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Total Utilization of U.S. Revolving Commitments, Total Utilization of Canadian Revolving Commitments or Total Utilization of European Revolving Commitments, as applicable, to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s U.S. Revolving Commitment, Canadian Revolving Commitment or European Revolving Commitment, as applicable;
(b)    if the reallocation described in Section 2.22(a) cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the applicable Borrower shall (i) first, within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, prepay any outstanding Swing Line Loans to the extent the obligations of the applicable Defaulting Revolving Lender to purchase participations in or otherwise refinance or support Swing Line Loans have not been reallocated pursuant to Section 2.22(a) and (ii) second, within three Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent, Cash Collateralize such Defaulting Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the obligations to purchase participations in or otherwise refinance or support Letters of Credit (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to Section 2.22(a)) for so long as such obligations are outstanding;
(c)    if the obligations of the applicable Defaulting Revolving Lender to purchase participations in or otherwise refinance or support Letters of Credit are reallocated among the non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders pursuant to Section 2.22(a), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.11 shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders’ Pro Rata Shares; and
(d)    Subject to Section 10.26, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that: (a) (i) any Lender (an “Increased‑Cost Lender”) shall give notice to the Borrower Representative that such Lender is an Affected Lender or that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Section 2.18(b), 2.19 or 2.20, (ii) the circumstances which have caused such Lender to be an Affected Lender or which entitle such Lender to receive such payments remain in effect, and (iii) such Lender shall fail to withdraw such notice within five Business Days after the Borrower Representative’s request for such withdrawal; or (b) (i) any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Defaulting Lender’s default remains in effect and (iii) such Defaulting Lender shall fail to cure the default as a result of which it has become a Defaulting Lender within five Business Days thereafter; or (c) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, extension, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 10.05(b) or Section 2.26, the consent of Required Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each, a “Non‑Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained; then, with respect to each such Increased‑Cost Lender, Defaulting Lender or Non‑Consenting Lender (the “Terminated Lender”), the Borrower Representative may, by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans and its Revolving Commitments, if any, in full to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, a “Replacement Lender”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06 and the applicable Borrower shall pay the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any such assignment from an Increased‑Cost Lender, a Non-Consenting Lender or a Defaulting Lender; provided, that (1) on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall pay to the Terminated Lender an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Terminated Lender, (B) an amount equal to all unreimbursed drawings on Letters of Credit that have been funded by such Terminated Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (C) an amount equal to all accrued but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.11, such amounts to be calculated based on the Dollar Equivalent thereof with respect to the Tranche A Dollar Term Loans, U.S. Revolving Commitments or Hong Kong Revolving Commitments, based on the Foreign Exchange Equivalent thereof with respect to the Canadian Revolving Commitments and based on the Euro Equivalent thereof with respect to the Tranche A Euro Term Loans and European Revolving Commitments; (2) on the date of such assignment, the applicable Borrower shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.18(c), Section 2.19 or Section 2.20 or otherwise as if it were a prepayment and (3) in the event such Terminated Lender is a Non‑Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Lender was a Non‑Consenting Lender; provided, that the applicable Borrower may not make such election with respect to any Terminated Lender that is also the Issuing Bank unless, prior to the effectiveness of such election, the applicable Borrower shall have caused each outstanding Letter of Credit issued thereby to be cancelled, replaced or Cash Collateralized. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender and the termination of such Terminated Lender’s Revolving Commitments, if any, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, that any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender. Each Lender agrees that if a Borrower exercises its option hereunder to cause an assignment by such

US-DOCS\106883637.15



Lender as a Terminated Lender, such Lender shall, promptly after receipt of written notice of such election, execute and deliver all documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment in accordance with Section 10.06. In the event that a Lender does not comply with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence within one Business Day after receipt of such notice, each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver such documentation as may be required to give effect to an assignment in accordance with Section 10.06 on behalf of a Terminated Lender and any such documentation so executed by the Administrative Agent shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 10.06.

Each such notice shall specify (A) the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrower Representative proposes that the Incremental Revolving Commitments or Incremental Term Loan Commitments, as applicable, shall be effective, which shall be a date (i) not less than 10 Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent and (ii) at least 90 days prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date and (B) the identity of each Lender or other Person that is an Eligible Assignee (each, an “Incremental Revolving Loan Lender” or “Incremental Term Loan Lender”, as applicable) to whom the Borrower Representative proposes any portion of such Incremental Revolving Commitments or Incremental Term Loan Commitments, as applicable, be allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided that the Administrative Agent may elect or decline to arrange such Incremental Revolving Commitments or Incremental Term Loan Commitments in its sole discretion and any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Revolving Commitments or Incremental Term Loan Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide an Incremental Revolving Commitment or an Incremental Term Loan Commitment. Such Incremental Revolving Commitments or Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date; provided that: (1) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such Incremental Revolving Commitments or Incremental Term Loan Commitments, as applicable; (2) the Administrative Agent shall have received certified copies of resolutions of the Board of Directors of the applicable Borrower authorizing such Incremental Revolving Commitments and/or Incremental Term Loan Commitments, as applicable, and related amendments to the Loan Documents; (3) the Incremental Revolving Commitments or Incremental Term Loan Commitments, as applicable, shall be effected pursuant to one or more Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by the applicable Borrower, the Incremental Revolving Loan Lender or Incremental Term Loan Lender, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent, and each of which shall be recorded in the Register and each Incremental Revolving Loan Lender and Incremental Term Loan Lender shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Section 2.20(c); and (4) the representations and warranties contained in Article IV hereto shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such Increased Amount Date except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct

95
US-DOCS\106883637.15



in all material respects as of such earlier date (it being understood that to the extent any such representation and warranty is already qualified by materiality or material adverse effect, such representation and warranty will be true and correct in all respects); provided that, to the extent the proceeds of any Incremental Term Loans are being used to finance an investment or acquisition permitted hereunder, with the consent of the Borrower Representative and the applicable Incremental Term Loan Lender(s), clause (1) above shall be limited to the absence of the existence of any Default or Event of Default under Sections 8.01(a) or (e) and clause (4) above shall be limited to customary “specified representations” and those representations of the seller or the target company (as applicable) included in the acquisition agreement related to such investment or acquisition that are material to the interests of the applicable Incremental Term Loan Lenders and only to the extent that the Borrower Representative or its applicable Subsidiary has the right to terminate its obligations under such acquisition agreement as a result of a breach of such representations. Any Incremental Term Loans made on an Increased Amount Date shall be designated a separate series (a “Series”) of Incremental Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement.
On any Increased Amount Date on which Incremental Revolving Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (a) each of the Lenders with Revolving Commitments of the same Class shall assign to each of the Incremental Revolving Loan Lenders, and each of the Incremental Revolving Loan Lenders shall purchase from each of such Lenders, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the applicable Revolving Loans outstanding on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans will be held by existing Lenders with Revolving Commitments of the same Class and Incremental Revolving Loan Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such Incremental Revolving Commitments to the Revolving Commitments of the applicable Class, (b) each Incremental Revolving Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Commitment of the applicable Class and each Loan made thereunder (an “Incremental Revolving Loan”) shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Loan of the applicable Class and (c) each Incremental Revolving Loan Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the Incremental Revolving Commitment and all matters relating thereto. In addition, each Revolving Lender agrees that the Administrative Agent may (subject to the consent of the Borrower Representative) take such additional actions as it deems reasonably necessary to effect the foregoing and such other adjustments to ensure that the U.S. Revolving Exposure, European Revolving Exposure, Canadian Revolving Exposure or Hong Kong Revolving Exposure, as applicable, is allocated ratably in accordance with the applicable Revolving Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such Incremental Revolving Commitments.
On any Increased Amount Date on which any Incremental Term Loan Commitments of any Series are effective, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each Incremental Term Loan Lender of any Series shall make a Loan to, as applicable, the U.S. Borrower or European Borrower (an “Incremental Term Loan”) in an amount equal to its Incremental Term Loan Commitment of such Series and (ii) each Incremental Term Loan Lender of any Series shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the Incremental Term Loan Commitment of such Series and the Incremental Term Loans of such Series made pursuant thereto.
The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receipt of the Borrower Representative’s notice of each Increased Amount Date and in respect thereof (x) the Incremental

Revolving Commitments and the Incremental Revolving Loan Lenders or the Series of Incremental Term Loan Commitments and the Incremental Term Loan Lenders of such Series, as applicable and (y) in the case of each notice to any applicable Lender with Revolving Commitments, the respective interests in such Lender’s Revolving Loans, in each case subject to the assignments contemplated by this Section 2.24.
The terms and provisions of the Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Term Loan Commitments of any Series shall be, except as otherwise set forth herein, identical to the Tranche A Dollar Term Loans or Tranche A Euro Term Loans, as applicable.

In the case of any Incremental Term Loans, (i) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of all Incremental Term Loans of any Series shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the applicable Tranche A Term Loans, (ii) the applicable Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date of each Series shall be no earlier than the final maturity of the applicable Tranche A Term Loans, and (iii) the pricing, yield, maturity and amortization (subject to the preceding clauses (i) and (ii)) applicable to the Incremental Term Loans of each Series shall be determined by the Borrower Representative and the applicable Incremental Term Loan Lenders and shall be set forth in each applicable Joinder Agreement. Any Incremental Revolving Loans will be documented solely as an increase to the Revolving Commitments of the same Class without any change in terms, other than any change that is more favorable to the Revolving Lenders and applies equally to all Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments of the same Class. Each Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any Lender other than the applicable Incremental Revolving Loan Lender or Incremental Term Loan Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent to effect the provisions of this Section 2.24.

Each Borrower hereby appoints the Borrower Representative as its agent, attorney-in-fact and representative for the purpose of (i) making any borrowing requests or other requests required under this Agreement, (ii) the giving and receipt of notices by and to Borrowers under this Agreement, (iii) the delivery of all documents, reports, financial statements and written materials required to be delivered by Borrowers under this Agreement, and (iv) all other purposes incidental to any of the foregoing. Each Borrower agrees that any action taken by the Borrower Representative as the agent, attorney-in-fact and representative of the Borrowers shall be binding upon each Borrower to the same extent as if directly taken by such Borrower.
Section 2.26    Extension of Maturity Date.
(a)    The Borrowers may, not later than 30 days, and not earlier than 60 days, prior to each applicable anniversary of the Closing Date during the term of this Agreement (as may be extended from time to time pursuant to this Section 2.26) (the “Current Anniversary Date”), and not more than once in any calendar year with respect to each Revolving Commitment Termination Date and not more than twice total with respect to each Revolving Commitment Termination Date, from time to time request that the applicable Revolving Commitment Termination Date in respect of the U.S. Revolving Commitments and the U.S. Revolving Loans, Canadian Revolving

The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Revolving Lender of its receipt of such Extension Request.
(b)    On or prior to the fifteenth day (the “Determination Date”) prior to the Current Anniversary Date, each Eligible Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower of its willingness or unwillingness to consent to the applicable Extension Request. Any Eligible Lender that shall fail to so notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower, on or prior to the Determination Date, shall be deemed to have declined to so extend.
(c)    In the event that, on or prior to the Determination Date, Eligible Lenders holding more than 50.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Commitments of all Eligible Lenders then in effect in respect of the applicable Revolving Commitment Termination Date shall consent to such extension (each such Lender, a “Consenting Lender”; each such event, an “Extension Approval”; and each such agreement, an “Extension Agreement”), the Administrative Agent shall so advise the applicable Revolving Lenders and the applicable Borrower and the applicable Revolving Commitment Termination Date shall be extended to the date indicated in the Extension Request with respect to such Consenting Lenders. Thereafter, (i) for each Consenting Lender, the term “Revolving Commitment Termination Date” with respect to the applicable Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments as used herein and in any promissory note executed and delivered by the applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, shall at all times refer to such date indicated in the applicable Extension Request, unless it is later extended pursuant to this Section 2.26, and (ii) for each Lender that is not a Consenting Lender with respect to such Extension Request (each such Lender, a “Non-Extending Lender”), the term “Revolving Commitment Termination Date” with respect to the applicable Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments held by it shall at all times refer to the date which was the Revolving Commitment Termination Date with respect thereto prior to the delivery to the Administrative Agent of such Extension Request; provided that any Non-Extending Lender (including any direct or indirect assignee of any Non-Extending Lender) may, with the written consent of the applicable Borrower, elect at any time prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date then applicable to its applicable Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments to consent to the applicable Borrower’s prior Extension Requests by delivering a written notice to such effect to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and upon the receipt by the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such notice, the Revolving

Commitment Termination Date with respect to the applicable Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments of such Non-Extending Lender shall be extended to the date indicated in the applicable Extension Requests and such Non-Extending Lender shall be deemed to be a Consenting Lender in respect of such prior Extension Requests for all purposes hereunder.
(d)    In the event that, as of any Determination Date, the Consenting Lenders hold 50.0% or less of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments of all Eligible Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall so advise the applicable Lenders and the Borrower Representative, and the applicable Revolving Commitment Termination Date with respect to the applicable Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments held by each Lender shall continue to be the date which was the applicable Revolving Commitment Termination Date immediately prior to the delivery to the Administrative Agent of such Extension Request. For purposes of this Section 2.26, the term “Eligible Lenders” means, with respect to any Extension Request related to the U.S. Revolving Commitments and U.S. Revolving Loans, Canadian Revolving Commitments and Canadian Revolving Loans, European Revolving Commitments and European Revolving Loans or Hong Kong Revolving Commitments and Hong Kong Revolving Loans, as applicable, (i) all applicable Revolving Lenders if the applicable Revolving Commitment Termination Date of no applicable Revolving Lender’s applicable Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments had been extended pursuant to this Section 2.26 prior to the delivery to the Administrative Agent of such Extension Request, and (ii) in all other cases, those applicable Revolving Lenders which extended the applicable Revolving Commitment Termination Date of their applicable Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments in the most recent extension of any applicable Revolving Commitment Termination Date effected pursuant to this Section 2.26.
(e)    The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the effectiveness of each Extension Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.26.

The Ancillary Lender, the Borrower Representative and the European Borrower hereby agree that the Ancillary Facility shall continue to be effective (notwithstanding the repayment or refinancing of the Existing Credit Agreement on the date hereof) from and after the date hereof on the same terms and conditions governing such arrangement prior to the date hereof, provided that the Ancillary Lender hereby agrees to, and authorizes, the termination and release of all Liens with respect the Collateral (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) securing the Ancillary Facility and all guarantees under Article VII of the Existing Credit Agreement (it being understood that obligations under the Ancillary Facility will be secured and guaranteed in accordance with terms of this Agreement).

comparable applicable provisions of any Debtor Relief Law; provided, that solely for purposes of calculating the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 7.02, any assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (1) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including in respect of this Section 7.02), minus (2) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor from the other applicable Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this Section 7.02. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor. The allocation among the applicable Contributing Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 7.02 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Contributing Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 7.02.
Section 7.03    Payment by Guarantors.
(a)    Subject to Section 7.02, the U.S. Borrower and the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Guaranteed Party may have at law or in equity against any of them by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of any Borrower to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a), or any comparable provision of any other Debtor Relief Law), the U.S. Borrower and the Guarantors, as applicable, shall upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Guaranteed Parties, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which, but for any Borrower’s becoming the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Debtor Relief Law, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against such Borrower for such interest in the related bankruptcy case or analogous proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to the Guaranteed Parties as aforesaid.
(b)    [Reserved].
Section 7.04    Liability of Guarantors Absolute. Each Guarantor agrees that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a Guarantor or surety other than Payment in Full of the applicable Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, as follows:
(a)    this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectability;

115
US-DOCS\106883637.15



(b)    this Guaranty is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety;
(c)    the Administrative Agent may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between any Borrower and any Guaranteed Party with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;
(d)    the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of each Borrower and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the obligations of each Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against such Borrower or any of such other guarantors and whether or not such Borrower is joined in any such action or actions;
(e)    payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the applicable Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the applicable Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantor’s covenant to pay a portion of the applicable Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of the applicable Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or abridge any other Guarantor’s liability hereunder in respect of the applicable Guaranteed Obligations;
(f)    any Guaranteed Party, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Guaranteed Party in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Guaranteed Party may have against any such security, in each case as such Guaranteed Party in its discretion may determine consistent herewith, the applicable Hedge Agreement, Cash Management Agreements or Treasury Transaction and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against any Borrower or any security for the Guaranteed

116
US-DOCS\106883637.15



Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Loan Documents or any Hedge Agreements, Cash Management Agreements or Treasury Transactions; and
(g)    this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than Payment in Full of the applicable Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Loan Documents, any Hedge Agreements, any Cash Management Agreements or any Treasury Transactions, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to Events of Default) hereof, any of the other Loan Documents, Hedge Agreements, any Cash Management Agreements or any Treasury Transactions or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Loan Document, such Hedge Agreement, such Cash Management Agreements, such Treasury Transaction or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect (other than with respect to defense of payment or performance in full); (iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Loan Documents, any Hedge Agreements, any Cash Management Agreements or any Treasury Transactions or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as Collateral for Indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of Indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Guaranteed Party might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any Guaranteed Party’s consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Group Member and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any defenses (other than defense of payment or performance in full), set‑offs or counterclaims which any Borrower may allege or assert against any Guaranteed Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) any other act or omission, or delay to do any other act, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 7.05    Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties: (a) any right to require any Guaranteed Party, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against any Borrower, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the applicable Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Borrower, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Guaranteed Party in favor of any Borrower, any such other guarantor or any other

117
US-DOCS\106883637.15



Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Guaranteed Party whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of any Borrower or any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of any Borrower or any such other guarantor from any cause other than Payment in Full of the applicable Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Guaranteed Party’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad faith; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set‑offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Guaranteed Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or Lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder, or under any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to any Borrower and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 7.04 and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses (other than defense of payment or performance in full) or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof.
Section 7.06    Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, Etc. Until the applicable Guaranteed Obligations shall have been Paid in Full, each Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any applicable Borrower or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any applicable Borrower with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Guaranteed Party now has or may hereafter have against any Borrower, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Guaranteed Party. In addition, until the applicable Guaranteed Obligations shall have been Paid in Full, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the applicable Guaranteed Obligations, including any such right of contribution as contemplated by Section 7.02. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against any Borrower or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be

118
US-DOCS\106883637.15



junior and subordinate to any rights any Guaranteed Party may have against any Borrower, to all right, title and interest any Guaranteed Party may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Guaranteed Party may have against such other guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all applicable Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been Paid in Full, such amount shall be held in trust for the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Guaranteed Parties and shall forthwith be paid over to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties to be credited and applied against the applicable Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.
Section 7.07    Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations, respectively, shall have been Paid in Full. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 7.08    Authority of Guarantors or the Borrowers. It is not necessary for any Guaranteed Party to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or any Borrower or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them.
Section 7.09    Financial Condition of the Borrowers. Any Credit Extension may be made to any Borrower or continued from time to time, and any Hedge Agreements, Cash Management Agreements and Treasury Transactions may be entered into from time to time, in each case without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of such Borrower or, with respect to any Hedge Agreements, Cash Management Agreements and Treasury Transactions, the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries party thereto, at the time of any such grant or continuation or at the time such Hedge Agreement, Cash Management Agreement or Treasury Transaction is entered into, as the case may be. No Guaranteed Party shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of such obligor. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from each such obligor on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of each such obligor and its ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents, any Hedge Agreements, any Cash Management Agreements or any Treasury Transactions, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of each such obligor and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Guaranteed Party to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of any such obligor now known or hereafter known by any Guaranteed Party.
Section 7.10    Bankruptcy, Etc.
(a)    The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding (or analogous proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law), voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, examinership, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of any Borrower or any other Guarantor or by any defense which any Borrower or any other Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.

119
US-DOCS\106883637.15



(b)    Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the applicable Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in Section 7.10(a) (or, if interest on any portion of the applicable Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the applicable Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the applicable Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of the Guarantors and Guaranteed Parties that the Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by the Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve any Borrower of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantors shall permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person under any Debtor Relief Law to pay the Administrative Agent, or allow the claim of the Administrative Agent in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.
(c)    In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by any Borrower, the obligations of the Guarantors with respect to such amounts hereunder shall be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from any Guaranteed Party as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder.
Section 7.11    Discharge of Guaranty.
(a)    If all of the Equity Interests of any Subsidiary Guarantor or any of its successors in interest hereunder shall be sold or otherwise disposed of or such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary, in each case in accordance with the terms hereof or as otherwise consented to by the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 10.05), the Guaranty of such Subsidiary Guarantor or such successor in interest, as the case may be, hereunder and all security interests (if any) granted in the Collateral by such Subsidiary Guarantor to secure such Guaranty shall automatically be discharged and released without any further action by any Guaranteed Party or any other Person effective as of the time of such transaction or consent. Upon request of the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall take, and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take, such actions as shall be reasonably requested to evidence the termination and release of such Guaranty and such security interests in the Collaterals.
(b) On the Guarantee Release Date, upon request of the U.S. Borrower, the Guaranty of each Subsidiary Guarantor and all security interests (if any) granted in the Collateral by such Subsidiary Guarantor to secure such Guaranty shall automatically be discharged and released without any further action by any Guaranteed Party or any other Person and such Guaranty of each Subsidiary Guarantor and such security interests shall not be reinstated (including, for the avoidance of doubt, upon a subsequent decline in the Public Debt Rating such that the conditions set forth in the definition of “Guarantee Release Date” are no longer satisfied). Upon such request of the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall take, and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take, such actions as shall be reasonably requested to evidence the termination and release of such Guaranties and such security interests in the Collateral. For the avoidance of doubt, the U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty

120
US-DOCS\106883637.15



of the Obligations of the European Borrower and the Hong Kong Borrower under this Agreement shall not be released. For the avoidance of doubt, the U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty of any Obligations of any Subsidiary under any Hedge Agreement, Cash Management Agreement, or Treasury Transaction shall not be released. Nothing in this clause (b) of Section 7.11 shall prevent the Borrower Representative from electing to join a Subsidiary to this Agreement as a Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with the final proviso in Section 6.03 and Section 7.01(b).

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of this Section 9.03 and of Section 9.06 shall apply to any of the Affiliates of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each sub-agent appointed by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, (i) such sub-agent shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights and benefits of a third party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of Loan Parties and the Lenders, (ii) such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such sub-agent, and (iii) such sub-agent shall only have obligations to the Administrative Agent and not to any Loan Party, Lender or any other Person and no Loan Party, Lender or any other Person shall have any rights, directly or indirectly, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, against such sub-agent; provided, that the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall be responsible for all acts of each of their respective sub-agents, and each Loan Party, Guaranteed Party and other Person shall have the same rights against the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, as if the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, had performed the duties and exercised the rights and powers under this Agreement or any other Loan Document that its sub-agent performed or exercised.
(d)    Notice of Default or Event of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to such Agent by a Loan Party or a Lender. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall receive such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders, provided that failure to give such notice shall not result in any liability on the part of the Administrative Agent.
Section 9.04    Agents Entitled to Act as Lender. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, any Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With respect to its participation in the Loans and the Letters of Credit, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Lender” shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its individual capacity. Any Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with the U.S. Borrower or any of its Affiliates as if it were

126
US-DOCS\106883637.15



not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from the U.S. Borrower for services in connection herewith and otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that pursuant to such activities, the Agents or their Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Agents and their Affiliates shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.
Section 9.05    Lenders’ Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgment.
(a)    Each Lender represents and warrants that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Group in connection with Credit Extensions hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Group. No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to Lenders.
(b)    Each Lender, by delivering its signature page hereto, an Assignment Agreement or a Joinder Agreement and funding its Tranche A Term Loans and/or Revolving Loans or by the funding of any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Loans, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be approved by any Agent, Required Lenders or Lenders, as applicable on the Closing Date or as of the date of funding of such Loans.
Section 9.06    Right to Indemnity. Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to indemnify each Agent to the extent that such Agent shall not have been reimbursed by any Loan Party (and without limiting its obligation to do so), for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or otherwise in its capacity as Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided, that in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof; and provided, further, that this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.

Section 9.07    Successor Agents, Issuing Banks and Swing Line Lender.
(a)    The Administrative Agent shall have the right to resign at any time by giving prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower Representative. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to appoint a financial institution to act as the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent hereunder, subject to the reasonable satisfaction of the Borrower Representative and the Required Lenders, and the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective on the earlier of (i) the acceptance of such successor Administrative Agent by the Borrower Representative and the Required Lenders or (ii) the thirtieth day after such notice of resignation. Upon any such notice of resignation, if a successor Administrative Agent has not already been appointed by the retiring Administrative Agent, Required Lenders shall have the right, upon five Business Days’ notice to the Borrower Representative, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If neither Required Lenders nor the Administrative Agent have appointed a successor Administrative Agent, then the Required Lenders shall be deemed to have succeeded to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent; provided, that until a successor Administrative Agent is so appointed by Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent, by notice to the Borrower Representative and Required Lenders, may retain its role as the Collateral Agent under any Security Document. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, any resignation of Barclays or its successor as the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.07 shall also constitute the resignation of Barclays or its successor as the Collateral Agent. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9.07 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent hereunder. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Administrative Agent all sums and items of Collateral held under the Security Documents (if any), together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Administrative Agent such amendments to financing statements (if any), and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Administrative Agent of the security interests created under the Security Documents (if any), whereupon such retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. If the Administrative Agent is retaining its role as Collateral Agent, the actions enumerated in the preceding sentence will be modified to account for such retained role. Any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to this Section 9.07 shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Collateral Agent for all purposes hereunder. If Barclays or its successor as the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.07 has resigned as the Administrative Agent but retained its role as the Collateral Agent and no successor Collateral Agent has become the Collateral Agent pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Barclays or its successor may resign as the Collateral Agent upon notice to the Borrower Representative and Required Lenders at any time.
(b)    In addition to the foregoing, the Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders and the Loan Parties. The Administrative Agent

128
US-DOCS\106883637.15



shall have the right to appoint a financial institution as the Collateral Agent hereunder, subject to the reasonable satisfaction of the Borrower Representative and the Required Lenders and the Collateral Agent’s resignation shall become effective on the earlier of (i) the acceptance of such successor Collateral Agent by the Borrower Representative and the Required Lenders or (ii) the thirtieth day after such notice of resignation. Upon any such notice of resignation, if a successor Collateral Agent has not already been appointed by the retiring Collateral Agent, Required Lenders shall have the right, upon five Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to appoint a successor Collateral Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, the successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the Security Documents, and the retiring Collateral Agent under this Agreement shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Collateral Agent all sums and items of Collateral held hereunder or under the Security Documents, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the Security Documents, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Collateral Agent or otherwise authorize the filing of such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Collateral Agent of the security interests created under the Security Documents, whereupon such retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the Security Documents. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement or the Security Documents while it was the Collateral Agent hereunder.
(c)    Any resignation of Barclays or its successor as the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute the resignation of Barclays or its successor as the Swing Line Lender and Issuing Bank, and any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to this Section 9.07 shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor to the Swing Line Lender and an Issuing Bank (in accordance with Section 2.04(h)) for all purposes hereunder. In such event (i) the U.S. Borrower shall prepay any outstanding Swing Line Loans made by the retiring Administrative Agent in its capacity as Swing Line Lender, (ii) upon such prepayment, the retiring Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender shall surrender any Swing Line Note held by it to the Borrower Representative for cancellation and (iii) the U.S. Borrower and European Borrower, as applicable, shall issue, if so requested by the successor Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender, a new Swing Line Note to the successor Administrative Agent and the successor Swing Line Lender, in the principal amount of the U.S. Swing Line Sublimit and European Swing Line Sublimit, as applicable, then in effect and with other appropriate insertions.
Section 9.08    Security Documents and Guaranty.
(a)    Agents under Security Documents and Guaranty. Each Guaranteed Party hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of and for the benefit of Guaranteed Parties, to be the agent for and representative of Guaranteed Parties with respect to the Guaranty and, if applicable, the Collateral and the Security Documents; provided, that, except as expressly set forth herein, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall owe any fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or any other obligation

129
US-DOCS\106883637.15



whatsoever to any holder of Obligations. Subject to Section 10.05, without further written consent or authorization from any Guaranteed Party, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable may execute any documents or instruments necessary (i) in connection with a sale or disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement, to release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of such sale or other disposition of assets or to which Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 10.05) have otherwise consented or (ii) to release any Guarantor from the Guaranty pursuant to Section 7.11 or with respect to which Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 10.05) have otherwise consented.
(b)    Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guaranty. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Guaranteed Party hereby agree that (i) no Guaranteed Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Guaranteed Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of Guaranteed Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition.
(c)    Rights under Hedge Agreements. No Hedge Agreement shall create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Lender Counterparty that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Guarantor under the Loan Documents except as expressly provided in Section 10.05(c)(v) of this Agreement. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, such Lender Counterparty shall be deemed to have appointed the Collateral Agent as its agent and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Guaranteed Party, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 9.08(c).
(d)    Release of Collateral and Guarantees, Termination of Loan Documents.
(i)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, when all Obligations under the Loan Documents have been Paid in Full, this Agreement and all other Loan Documents, all guarantee obligations provided for in any Loan Document and all security interests granted pursuant to any Loan Document shall automatically terminate, and upon request of the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender or any Lender Counterparty) take such actions as shall be reasonably requested to evidence the release of its security interest in all Collateral, and to evidence the release of all guarantee obligations provided for in any Loan Document. Any such release of guarantee obligations shall be deemed subject

130
US-DOCS\106883637.15



to the provision that such guarantee obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations under the Loan Documents guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, examinership, receivership, administration, provisional supervision or reorganization of any Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor, liquidator, administrator, provisional supervisor, examiner or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
(ii)    Upon any disposition of property permitted by this Agreement, any security interest in such property provided for in any Security Document shall be deemed to be automatically released and such property shall automatically revert to the applicable Loan Party with no further action on the part of any Person. The Collateral Agent shall, at the applicable Loan Party’s expense, execute and deliver or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as such Loan Party shall reasonably request, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, including financing statement amendments to evidence such release.
(iii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Security Document or any other Loan Document, in the event that the Collateral Agent exercises any of its rights or remedies under the Loan Documents with respect to Collateral that is the subject of a Trademark (as defined in the Pledge and Security Agreement) license agreement entered into by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the Lenders hereby agree that the Collateral Agent shall, and the Collateral Agent hereby agrees that it shall, exercise such rights and remedies subject to the obligation to pay royalties and the restrictions on the marketing, sale and distribution of such goods, in each case, that are contained in the applicable licensing agreement; provided that such restrictions are in the nature of customary restrictions intended to preserve the rights of the applicable licensors in the licensed Intellectual Property, preserve the prestige, image and goodwill of the licensed Intellectual Property and the licensor and/or avoid the infringement of the rights of any third party, including, without limitation, any other licensee of the applicable licensor. At the request of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries from time to time, the Lenders hereby agree that the Collateral Agent shall be authorized to, and the Collateral Agent hereby agrees that it shall, execute and deliver to the U.S. Borrower acknowledgments of the Lenders’ and the Collateral Agent’s agreements pursuant to the foregoing sentence, for the benefit of the applicable licensor.
(iv)    Each Lender hereto agrees that upon the occurrence of the Springing Lien Trigger Event, the Administrative Agent is authorized to enter into the Pledge and Security Agreement and any related Security Documents in such form as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent and no further consent of such Lender shall be required.
Section 9.09    Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If any payment has been made to any Lender by the Administrative Agent without the applicable withholding Tax being withheld from such payment and the Administrative Agent has paid over the applicable withholding Tax to the IRS or any other Governmental Authority, or the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the

131
US-DOCS\106883637.15



Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent (but only to the extent that a Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses incurred and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided, that nothing in this Section 9.09 shall impose any obligation on any Loan Party.
Section 9.10    Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations under the Loan Documents that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the other Guaranteed Parties (including fees, disbursements and other expenses of counsel) allowed in such judicial proceeding and (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same. Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and other Guaranteed Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or other Guaranteed Party any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations under the Loan Documents or the rights of any Lender or other Guaranteed Party to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of such Person or in any such proceeding.
Section 9.11    Administrative Agent’s “Know Your Customer” Requirements. Each Lender shall promptly, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, provide such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent (for itself) in order for the Administrative Agent to carry out and be satisfied it has complied with all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations pursuant to the transactions contemplated in the Loan Documents.
Section 9.12    Certain ERISA Matters.
(a)    Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent

All amounts due under this Section 10.02 shall be due and payable promptly after demand therefor.
Section 10.03    Indemnity.
(a)    In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 10.02, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Loan Party agrees to defend (subject to Indemnitees’ rights to selection of counsel), indemnify, pay and hold harmless, each Agent, Arranger, Bookrunner, any other agent or co-agent (if any) designated by the Bookrunners with respect to the credit facilities hereunder, Issuing Bank, Swing Line Lender and Lender and the officers, partners, members, directors, trustees, shareholders, advisors, employees, representatives, attorneys, controlling persons, agents and Affiliates of each Agent, Arranger, Bookrunner, other agent or co-agent (if any) designated by the Bookrunners with respect to the credit facilities hereunder, Issuing Bank, Swing Line Lender and Lender (each, an “Indemnitee”), from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, that no Loan Party shall have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities (a) arise from (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of such Indemnitee’s Affiliates or any of its or their respective partners, trustees, shareholders, officers, directors, employees, advisors, representatives, agents, attorneys, controlling persons or members or (ii) a material breach of such Indemnitee’s (or any of its Affiliates’ or any of its or their

136
US-DOCS\106883637.15



respective partners’, trustees’, shareholders’, officers’, directors’, employees’, advisors’, representatives’, agents’, attorneys’, controlling persons’ and members’) obligations under the Loan Documents, in each case, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, (b) arise out of any dispute among Indemnitees (other than a dispute involving claims against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, an Arranger or a Bookrunner, in each case in their respective capacities as such) that did not involve actions or omissions of the Loan Parties or their Affiliates or (c) arise in connection with any settlement entered into by such Indemnitee without the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the Loan Parties (provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity will apply to any such settlement in the event the Loan Parties were offered the ability to assume the defense of the action that was the subject matter of such settlement and elected not to assume the defense); provided, further, that in connection therewith, the Loan Parties shall only be responsible for the fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel selected by the Administrative Agent for all Indemnitees and of such special and local counsel as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate in its good faith discretion, except that if any Indemnitee reasonably concludes that its interests conflict or are reasonably likely to conflict with those of other Indemnitees and notifies the Loan Parties of such conflict, the Loan Parties shall also be responsible for the fees, charges and disbursements of one separate counsel for such conflicted Indemnitees. To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 10.03 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, the applicable Loan Party shall to the extent permitted by law contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 10.03 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.
(b)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party or Indemnitee shall be responsible or liable to any Person for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) alleged as arising out of, in connection with, as a result of or in any way related to this Agreement or any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the transmission of information through the Internet, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith; provided that the foregoing does not otherwise modify the obligations of the Loan Parties set forth in this Section 10.03. Each Loan Party and each Indemnitee, as applicable, hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.
(c)    All amounts due under this Section 10.03 shall be due and payable within five days after demand therefor.
Section 10.04    Set‑Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default each Lender is hereby authorized by each Loan Party at any time or from time to time to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), without notice to any Loan Party

137
US-DOCS\106883637.15



or to any other Person (other than the Administrative Agent), any such notice being hereby expressly waived to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set-off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (time or demand, provisional or final, general or special, including Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of any Loan Party to such Lender hereunder, the Letters of Credit and participations therein and under the other Loan Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected hereto, the Letters of Credit and participations therein or with any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not (i) such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or (ii) such obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured.
Section 10.05    Amendments and Waivers.
(a)    Required Lenders’ Consent. Subject to the additional requirements of Sections 10.05(b) and 10.05(c), no amendment, supplement, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents, or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of the Required Lenders and the U.S. Borrower (it being understood that delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to the applicable amendment, supplement, modification, termination or waiver by facsimile or other electronic transmission will be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart thereof); provided that (x) any Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” for purposes of calculating the Required Lenders (including the granting of any consents or waivers) with respect to any of the Loan Documents and (y) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative may amend, modify or supplement this Agreement to cure any error (including, but not limited to, typographical error, incorrect cross-reference or incorrectly-named defined term), defect, ambiguity, inconsistency or any other error or omission of a technical nature, and such amendment, modification or supplement shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other Lender if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.
(b)    Affected Lenders’ Consent. Without the written consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) that would be directly and adversely affected thereby, no amendment, supplement, modification, termination, or consent shall be effective if the effect thereof would:

(ii)    waive, reduce or postpone any scheduled repayment (but not prepayment) of principal;
(iii)    [reserved];
(iv)    reduce the rate of interest on any Loan (other than any waiver of any increase in the interest rate applicable to any Loan pursuant to Section 2.10) or any fee or any premium payable hereunder (it being understood that any change to the definition of Public Debt Rating or Net Leverage Ratio, or, in each case, in the component definitions thereof, shall not constitute

138
US-DOCS\106883637.15



a reduction in the rate of interest); provided, further, that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the Default Rate in Section 2.10 or to waive any obligation of any Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate;

provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, all Lenders shall be deemed directly and adversely affected thereby with respect to any amendment described in clauses (vii), (viii), (ix), (x) and (xii).

Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. In the case of any waiver, subject to any conditions or qualifications set forth therein, the parties hereto shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and, subject to any conditions or qualifications set forth therein, any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right or consequence in respect thereof.

Section 10.06    Successors and Assigns; Participations.
(a)    Generally. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the respective successors and assigns.

141
US-DOCS\106883637.15



Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Commitments or Loans.
(c)    Right to Assign. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, including all or a portion of its Commitment or Loans owing to it or other Obligations under the Loan Documents (provided, that pro rata assignments shall not be required and each assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any applicable Loan and any related Commitments):
(i)    to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (i) of the definition of the term of “Eligible Assignee” upon the giving of notice to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of assignments, sales or transfers of Revolving Commitments, subject to the consent of the applicable Issuing Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and
(ii)    to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (ii) of the definition of the term of “Eligible Assignee” upon giving of notice to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent and consented to by the Borrower Representative (provided that the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have consented to assignments made during the initial syndication of the Term Loans and Revolving Commitments to Lenders previously approved by the Borrower Representative and to any other assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof), the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank and the applicable Swing Line Lender (each such consent not to be (x) unreasonably withheld or delayed or (y) in the case of the Borrower Representative, required at any time an Event of Default described in Section 8.01(a) or 8.01(e) has occurred and is continuing); provided, that each such assignment pursuant to this Section 10.06(c)(ii) shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than (A) $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent or as shall constitute the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans of the assigning Lender) with respect to the assignment of the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans and (B) $500,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent or as shall constitute the aggregate amount of the Tranche A Term Loan or Incremental Term Loans of a Series of the assigning Lender) with respect to the assignment of Term Loans; provided, that the Related Funds of any individual Lender may aggregate their Loans for purposes of determining compliance with such minimum assignment amounts.
(d)    Mechanics. Assignments and assumptions of Loans and Commitments by Lenders shall be effected by manual execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent of an Assignment Agreement. Assignments made pursuant to the foregoing provision shall be effective as of the Assignment Effective Date. In connection with all assignments there shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent such forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to United States federal income Tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment Agreement may be

142
US-DOCS\106883637.15



required to deliver pursuant to Section 2.20(c), together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (except that no such registration and processing fee shall be payable (x) in connection with an assignment elected or caused by a Borrower pursuant to Section 2.23, (y) in connection with an assignment by or to Barclays or any Affiliate thereof or (z) in the case of an assignee which is already a Lender or is an Affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender or a Person under common management with a Lender).
(e)    Representations and Warranties of Assignee. Each Lender, upon execution and delivery hereof or upon obtaining or succeeding to an interest in the Commitments and Loans, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the Closing Date that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in commitments or loans such as the applicable Commitments or Loans, as the case may be; and (iii) it shall make or invest in, as the case may be, its Commitments or Loans for its own account in the ordinary course and without a view to distribution of such Commitments or Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section 10.06, the disposition of such Commitments or Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control).
(f)    Effect of Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 10.06, as of the “Assignment Effective Date” (i) the assignee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder to the extent of its interest in the Loans and Commitments as reflected in the Register and shall thereafter be a party hereto and a “Lender” for all purposes hereof; (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to the assignee, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination hereof, including under Section 10.08) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto on the Assignment Effective Date; provided, that anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, (y) the Issuing Bank shall continue to have all rights and obligations thereof with respect to such Letters of Credit until the cancellation or expiration of such Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder and (z) such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such assigning Lender as a Lender hereunder); (iii) the Commitments shall be modified to reflect any Commitment of such assignee and any Revolving Commitment of such assigning Lender, if any; and (iv) if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of any Note hereunder, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Notes to the Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon the applicable Borrower shall issue and deliver new Notes, if so requested by the assignee and/or assigning Lender, to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new Revolving Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with the requirements of this Section 10.06 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.06(g). Any assignment by a Lender pursuant to this Section 10.06 shall not in any way constitute or be deemed to constitute

143
US-DOCS\106883637.15



a novation, discharge, rescission, extinguishment or substitution of the Indebtedness hereunder, and any Indebtedness so assigned shall continue to be the same obligation and not a new obligation.
(g)    Participations.
(i)    Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to any Person (other than any Group Member or any of their respective Affiliates) in all or any part of its Commitments, Loans or in any other Obligation under the Loan Documents: provided, that (A) such Lender’s obligations shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (C) each Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each of the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s agreements and obligations.
(ii)    The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of the Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (A) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond the Revolving Commitment Termination Date) in which such participant is participating or the amortization schedule therefor, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post‑default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (B) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Loan Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (C) release all or substantially all of the Guarantors or the Collateral under the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating.
(iii)    Each Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18(c), 2.19 and 2.20 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.06(c); provided, that such participant agrees to be subject to Sections 2.19 and 2.20 as if it were a Lender; provided, further, that (x) a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.19 or 2.20 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, unless the sale of the participation to such participant is made with the Borrower Representative’s prior written consent and (y) a participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.20 unless such participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.20 as though it were a Lender; provided, further, that, except as specifically set forth in clause (x) of this sentence, nothing herein shall require any notice to the Borrower Representative or any other Person in connection with the sale

144
US-DOCS\106883637.15



of any participation. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.04 as though it were a Lender; provided, that such participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17 as though it were a Lender. A participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.20 to the extent such participant fails to comply with Section 2.20(c).
(iv)    Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts of each participant’s interest in the Commitments, Loans and other Obligations under the Loan Documents held by it (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit, or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Proposed Treasury Regulations (or, in each case, any amended or successor version). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such Commitments, Loans and other Obligations under the Loan Documents as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
(h)    Certain Other Assignments and Participations. In addition to any other assignment or participation permitted pursuant to this Section 10.06 any Lender may pledge (without the consent of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent) all or any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed by or to such Lender, and its Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender including to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided, that no Lender, as between any Borrower and such Lender, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge; provided, further, that in no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank, pledgee or trustee, be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder.
(i)    Act on the Financial Supervision. In order to comply with the Dutch Financial Supervision Act (Wet op het financieel toezicht), the amount transferred under this Section 10.06 shall include a portion outstanding from the European Borrower of at least €100,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies) or such other amount as may be required from time to time under the Dutch Financial Supervision Act (or implementing legislation) or if less, the new Lender shall confirm in writing to the Loan Parties that it is a professional market party (professionele marktpartij) within the meaning of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act.
Section 10.07    Independence of Covenants, Etc. All covenants, conditions and other terms hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, conditions or other terms,

145
US-DOCS\106883637.15



the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant, condition or other term shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.
Section 10.08    Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Credit Extension. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of each Loan Party set forth in Sections 2.18(c), 2.19, 2.20, 10.02 and 10.03 and the agreements of Lenders set forth in Sections 2.17, 9.03(b), 9.06 and 9.09 shall survive the payment of the Loans, the cancellation or expiration of the Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder, and the termination hereof.
Section 10.09    No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay or course of dealing on the part of any Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to each Agent and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Loan Documents or any of the Hedge Agreements. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of any Credit Extension shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether any Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time of the making of any such Credit Extension.
Section 10.10    Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations under the Loan Documents. To the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent or Lenders (or to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders), or any Agent or Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
Section 10.11    Severability. In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of a particular provision in a particular

146
US-DOCS\106883637.15



jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties hereto shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid, legal and enforceable provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as reasonably possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
Section 10.12    Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
Section 10.13    Table of Contents and Headings. The Table of Contents hereof and Article and Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose, modify or amend the terms or conditions hereof, be used in connection with the interpretation of any term or condition hereof or be given any substantive effect.
Section 10.14    APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
Section 10.15    CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. SUBJECT TO CLAUSE (E) OF THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE, ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING HERETO OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS, SHALL BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE, COUNTY AND CITY OF NEW YORK. BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, EACH LOAN PARTY, FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY (A) ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS (OTHER THAN WITH RESPECT TO ACTIONS BY ANY AGENT IN RESPECT OF RIGHTS UNDER ANY SECURITY AGREEMENT GOVERNED BY LAWS OTHER THAN THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR WITH RESPECT TO ANY COLLATERAL SUBJECT THERETO); (B) WAIVES (i) JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF COURTS IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH IT MAY BE ENTITLED TO BRING SUIT BY REASON OF ITS PRESENT OR FUTURE DOMICILE OR OTHERWISE AND (ii) ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS; (C) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE APPLICABLE LOAN PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 10.01; (D) AGREES THAT SERVICE AS PROVIDED IN CLAUSE (C) ABOVE IS SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE

147
US-DOCS\106883637.15



APPLICABLE LOAN PARTY IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT; AND (E) AGREES THAT THE AGENTS AND THE LENDERS RETAIN THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY LOAN PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS UNDER ANY SECURITY DOCUMENT OR THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT. BY ITS SIGNATURE HEREOF, EACH OF THE EUROPEAN BORROWER AND HONG KONG BORROWER HEREBY APPOINT THE U.S. BORROWER AS ITS AGENT FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS.
Section 10.16    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION OR THE LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL‑ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN ITS RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 10.16 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER WILL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS HERETO OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOANS MADE HEREUNDER. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.
Section 10.17    Confidentiality. Each Agent and each Lender (which term shall for the purposes of this Section 10.17 include the Issuing Bank) shall hold all non‑public information regarding the Group and their businesses identified as such by the Borrower Representative and obtained by such Agent or such Lender pursuant to the requirements hereof in accordance with such Agent’s and such Lender’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of such nature, it being understood and agreed by the Borrower Representative that, in any event, the Administrative Agent may not disclose such information other than to the Lenders and each Agent, provided, that each Lender may make (i) disclosures of such information to Affiliates or Related Funds of such Lender or Agent and to its and their respective officers, directors, employees,

148
US-DOCS\106883637.15



representatives, agents and advisors (and to other Persons authorized by a Lender or Agent to organize, present or disseminate such information in connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section 10.17); provided, that, prior to any disclosure, such Affiliates, Related Funds, officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents and advisors and other persons be instructed to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from any Agent or any Lender, (ii) disclosures of such information reasonably required by (A) any pledgee referred to in Section 10.06(h), (B) any bona fide or potential assignee, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation of any Loans or any participations therein, (C) any bona fide or potential direct or indirect contractual counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Borrower and its obligations or (D) any direct or indirect investor or prospective investor in a Related Fund; provided, that such pledgees, assignees, transferees, participants, counterparties, advisors and investors are advised of and agree to be bound by either the provisions of this Section 10.17 or other provisions at least as restrictive as this Section 10.17, (iii) disclosure to any rating agency when required by it; provided, that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency be instructed to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from any Agent or any Lender, (iv) disclosures in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document and (v) disclosures required or requested by any governmental agency or representative thereof or by the NAIC or pursuant to legal or judicial process; provided, that unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender and each Agent shall make reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower Representative of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of such Lender by such governmental agency) for disclosure of any such non‑public information prior to disclosure of such information. In addition, each Agent and each Lender may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar services providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.18    Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the Obligations under the Loan Documents, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law, shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect; provided, that in no event shall the amount paid pursuant hereto be in excess of the amount of interest that would have been due if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, such Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate

149
US-DOCS\106883637.15



had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders and each Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to the applicable Borrower.
Section 10.19    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission will be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart thereof.
Section 10.20    Effectiveness; Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of written notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any commitment or fee letter entered into in connection with this Agreement represent the entire agreement of the Group, the Agents, the Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender, the Arrangers, the Bookrunners and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any Agent, Issuing Bank, Swing Line Lender, Arranger, Bookrunner or Lender relative to the subject matter hereof or thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement, in the other Loan Documents or as a result of any applicable laws, express or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and thereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereunder and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Affiliates of each of the Agents and Lenders, holders of participations in all or any part of a Lender’s Commitments, Loans or in any other Obligations under the Loan Documents, and the Indemnitees) any rights, remedies, obligations, claims or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any law of any jurisdiction which purports to confer such rights, remedies, obligations, claims or liabilities. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of any Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement.
Section 10.21    PATRIOT Act; Beneficial Ownership. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that shall allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.
Section 10.22    “Know Your Customer” Checks. If in connection with (a) the introduction of or any change in (or in the interpretation, administration or application of) any law or regulation made after the date hereof, (b) any change in the status of a Loan Party after the date hereof, (c) the

150
US-DOCS\106883637.15



addition of any Guarantor pursuant to Section 5.10 or Section 7.01(b) or (d) any proposed assignment or transfer by a Lender of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a party that was not previously a Lender hereunder, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or, in the case of clause (d) above, any prospective Lender) requires additional information in order to comply with “know your customer” or similar identification procedures, each Loan Party shall, promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, provide such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent (for itself or on behalf of any Lender) or such Lender (for itself or, in the case of the event described in clause (d) above, on behalf of any prospective Lender) in order for the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such prospective Lender to carry out and be satisfied it has complied with all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations pursuant to the transactions contemplated in the Loan Documents.
Section 10.23    Electronic Execution. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment Agreement or Loan Document shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as an original executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
Section 10.24    No Fiduciary Duty. Each Agent, each Lender, each Arranger, each Bookrunner, each Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender and their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of each Borrower, its stockholders and/or its Affiliates. Each Borrower agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and such Borrower, its stockholders or its Affiliates, on the other. The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrowers, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Borrower, its stockholders or its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Borrower, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Borrower, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that such Borrower has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Borrower agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Borrower, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

151
US-DOCS\106883637.15



Section 10.25    Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment in given. The obligation of any Borrower or Guarantor in respect of such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from the applicable Borrower or Guarantor in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower or Guarantor agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower or Guarantor (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).
Section 10.26    Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding between the parties hereto, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
(b)    the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(c)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(d)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(e)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

Based on my knowledge, this Quarterly Report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this Quarterly Report;
3.
Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included in this Quarterly Report, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this Quarterly Report;
4.
The registrant’s other certifying officer and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and we have:
a)
Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this Quarterly Report is being prepared;
b)
Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;
c)
Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this Report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this Report based on such evaluation; and
d)
Disclosed in this Report any change in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant’s most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant’s fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting; and
5.
The registrant’s other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the registrant’s auditors and the audit committee of the registrant’s board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):
a)
All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information; and
b)
Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
