PVH CORP.

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, as well as various other owned, licensed and, to a lesser extent, private label brands. The Company also licensed Speedo for North America and the Caribbean from Speedo International Limited until April 6, 2020, at which time the Company completed the sale of its Speedo North America business to Pentland Group PLC (“Pentland”), the parent company of the Speedo brand (the “Speedo transaction”). Upon the closing of the transaction, the Company deconsolidated the net assets of the Speedo North America business and no longer licenses the Speedo trademark. The Company designs and markets branded dress shirts, neckwear, sportswear (casual apparel), jeanswear, performance apparel, intimate apparel, underwear, swimwear, 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 Statements of Operations 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 2, 2020.

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 3, 2020 and May 5, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year due, in part, to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as 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 have been made to present fairly the consolidated operating results for the unaudited periods.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations in the first quarter of 2020 and continues into the second quarter of 2020. Virtually all of the Company’s retail stores were temporarily closed for varying periods of time throughout the first quarter as a result of the pandemic, with some stores beginning to reopen early in the second quarter under reduced operating hours. The Company’s wholesale customers and licensing partners also experienced significant business disruptions, which also resulted in a decrease in the Company’s revenue. In addition, the pandemic has impacted some of the Company’s suppliers, including third-party manufacturers, logistics providers and other vendors and has also disrupted the supply chains of its licensees. These supply chains may experience future disruptions as a result of either closed factories or factories operating with reduced workforces.

Given the uncertainties surrounding the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's future financial condition and results of operations, the Company has taken certain actions to preserve its liquidity and strengthen its financial flexibility. The Company suspended share repurchases under its stock repurchase program and suspended its dividends in mid-March. In addition, the Company has taken certain actions, which are ongoing, to (i) reduce payroll costs, through salary and incentive compensation reductions, furloughs, decreased working hours and hiring freezes, as well as taking advantage of applicable government relief programs, (ii) eliminate or reduce discretionary and variable operating expenses, including marketing, travel, consulting services, and creative and design costs, (iii) reduce working capital, with a particular focus on tightly managing its inventories, including reducing and cancelling inventory commitments, redeploying basic inventory items to subsequent seasons and consolidating future seasonal collections, as well as negotiating extended payment terms with its suppliers, and (iv) reduce capital expenditures.

In April 2020, the Company entered into a new $275.0 million 364-day unsecured revolving credit facility and issued an additional €175.0 million euro-denominated principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due 2024. In June 2020, the Company amended its senior unsecured credit facilities to provide temporary relief of certain financial covenants under these facilities during future periods. Please see Note 9, “Debt,” for further discussion.

The Company also assessed the impacts of the pandemic on the estimates and assumptions used in preparing these consolidated financial statements, including, but not limited to the allowance for credit losses, inventory reserves, carrying values of goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets, and the effectiveness of hedging instruments. Based on these assessments, the Company recorded pre-tax noncash impairment charges of $961.8 million in the first quarter of 2020, including $879.0 million related to goodwill, $54.5 million related to other intangible assets, $16.0 million related to store assets and $12.3 million related to an equity method investment, and recorded increases to its inventory reserves and allowances for credit losses of $59.1 million and $32.9 million, respectively. Please see Note 7, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” for further discussion of the impairments related to goodwill and other intangible assets, Note 12, “Fair Value Measurements,” for further discussion of the impairments related to store assets and Note 6, “Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates,” for further discussion of the impairment related to an equity method investment.

The estimates and assumptions used in these assessments were based on management’s judgment and may be subject to change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. In particular, there is significant uncertainty about the duration and extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and, if economic conditions caused by the pandemic do not recover as currently estimated by management, the Company’s financial condition, cash flows and results of operations may be materially and adversely impacted.

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 Company has provided temporary extensions to its standard payment terms for certain customers in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. 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 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. Costs associated with coupons are recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time of coupon redemption.

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. The Company does not charge administrative fees on gift cards nor do they expire. 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 3, 2020, the contractual minimum fees on the portion of all license agreements not yet satisfied totaled $1.2 billion, of which the Company expects to recognize $204.2 million as revenue during the remainder of 2020, $249.0 million in 2021 and $737.6 million thereafter.

Deferred Revenue

Changes in deferred revenue, which primarily relate to customer loyalty programs, gift cards and license agreements for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 and May 5, 2019 were as follows:


(In millions)	Thirteen Weeks Ended
	5/3/20		5/5/19
Deferred revenue balance at beginning of period	$	64.7	$	65.3

Net additions to deferred revenue during the period	29.6		42.0
Reductions in deferred revenue for revenue recognized during the period ⁽¹⁾	(42.6)		(51.4)
Deferred revenue balance at end of period	$	51.7	$	55.9

⁽¹⁾ Represents the amount of revenue recognized during the period that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period and does not contemplate revenue recognized from amounts deferred during the period.

The Company also had long-term deferred revenue liabilities included in other liabilities in its Consolidated Balance Sheets of $9.7 million, $10.3 million and $2.1 million as of May 3, 2020, February 2, 2020 and May 5, 2019, respectively.

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 and expected sales-based percentage fees for the portion of all license agreements not yet satisfied.

Please see Note 18, “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 and retail 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 AND DIVESTITURES

TH CSAP Acquisition

The Company acquired on July 1, 2019 the Tommy Hilfiger retail business in Central and Southeast Asia from the Company’s previous licensee in that market (the “TH CSAP acquisition”). As a result of the TH CSAP acquisition, the Company now operates directly the Tommy Hilfiger retail business in the Central and Southeast Asia market.

The acquisition date fair value of the consideration paid was $74.3 million. The estimated fair value of the assets acquired consisted of $63.9 million of goodwill and $10.4 million of other net assets. The goodwill of $63.9 million was assigned as of the acquisition date to the Company’s Tommy Hilfiger International segment, which is the Company’s reporting unit that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The Company is still in the process of finalizing the valuation of the assets acquired, which will be completed in the second quarter of 2020; thus the allocation of the acquisition consideration is subject to change.

Australia Acquisition

The Company acquired on May 31, 2019 the approximately 78% ownership interests in Gazal Corporation Limited (“Gazal”) that it did not already own (the “Australia acquisition”). Prior to the Australia acquisition, the Company and Gazal jointly owned and managed a joint venture, PVH Brands Australia Pty. Limited (“PVH Australia”), with each owning a 50% interest. PVH Australia licensed and operated businesses in Australia, New Zealand and other parts of Oceania under the TOMMY HILFIGER, CALVIN KLEIN and Van Heusen brands, along with other owned and licensed brands. PVH Australia came under the Company’s full control as a result of the acquisition. The Company now operates directly those businesses.

Prior to May 31, 2019, the Company accounted for its approximately 22% interest in Gazal and its 50% interest in PVH Australia under the equity method of accounting. Following the completion of the Australia acquisition, the results of Gazal and PVH Australia have been consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Gain on Previously Held Equity Investments

The carrying values of the Company’s approximately 22% interest in Gazal and 50% interest in PVH Australia prior to the acquisition were $16.5 million and $41.9 million, respectively. In connection with the acquisition, these investments were remeasured to fair values of $40.1 million and $131.4 million, respectively, resulting in the recognition of an aggregate noncash gain of $113.1 million during the second quarter of 2019.

The fair value of the Company’s investment in Gazal was determined using the trading price of Gazal’s common stock, which was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, on the date of the acquisition. The Company classified this as a Level 1 fair value measurement due to the use of an unadjusted quoted price in an active market. The fair value of Gazal included the fair value of Gazal’s 50% interest in PVH Australia. As such, the Company derived the fair value of its investment in PVH Australia from the fair value of Gazal by adjusting for (i) Gazal’s non-operating assets and net debt position and (ii) the estimated future operating cash flows of Gazal’s standalone operations, which were discounted at a rate of 12.5% to account for the relative risks of the estimated future cash flows. The Company classified this as a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the use of significant unobservable inputs.

Mandatorily Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest

Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement, key members of Gazal and PVH Australia management exchanged a portion of their interests in Gazal for approximately 6% of the outstanding shares in the previously wholly owned subsidiary of the Company that acquired 100% of the ownership interests in the Australia business. The Company is obligated to purchase this 6% interest within two years of the acquisition closing in two tranches as follows: tranche 1 – 50% of the shares one year after the closing, but the holders had the option to defer half of this tranche to tranche 2; and tranche 2 – all remaining shares two years after the closing. With respect to tranche 1, the holders elected not to defer their shares and, as a result, the Company purchased all of the tranche 1 shares in June 2020. The purchase price for the tranche 1 and tranche 2 shares is based on a multiple of the subsidiary’s adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) less net debt as of the end of the measurement year, and the multiple varies depending on the level of EBITDA compared to a target.

The Company recognized a liability of $26.2 million for the fair value of the 6% interest on the date of the acquisition, which is being accounted for as a mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest. The fair value of the liability was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which utilizes inputs, including the volatility of financial results, in order to model the probability of different outcomes. The Company classified this as a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the use of significant unobservable inputs. In subsequent periods, the liability for the mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest is adjusted each reporting period to its redemption value based on conditions that exist as of each subsequent balance sheet date, provided that the liability cannot be adjusted below the amount initially recorded at the acquisition date. The Company records any such adjustments to the liability in interest expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.

For the tranche 1 shares, the measurement period ended in 2019 and the $16.3 million liability as of May 3, 2020 was equal to the aggregate purchase price for the tranche 1 shares paid to the management shareholders in June 2020 under the conditions specified in terms of the acquisition agreement. For the tranche 2 shares, the Company recorded a gain of $3.7 million in interest expense during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 in connection with the remeasurement of the liability, which reflects the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the subsidiary’s results in the first quarter of 2020 and resulted in a reduction to the liability for the tranche 2 shares. The $12.9 million liability for the tranche 2 shares at May 3, 2020 represents the amount initially recorded at the acquisition date, as the amount the Company estimates it would pay under the conditions specified in the terms of the acquisition agreement if settlement had occurred as of May 3, 2020 of $12.1 million is less than the amount initially recorded. If the payment made for the tranche 2 shares at the settlement date is less than the liability recorded, the Company would record an extinguishment gain upon settlement.

The liability for the mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest was $29.2 million as of May 3, 2020 based on exchange rates in effect on that date, of which $16.3 million related to the tranche 1 shares was included in accrued expenses and $12.9 million related to the tranche 2 shares was included in other liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Prior to the closing of the Australia acquisition, Gazal had entered into an agreement to sell an office building and warehouse to a third party and, as such, the building was classified as held for sale on the acquisition date. In June 2019, the Company completed the sale of the building and warehouse for $59.4 million, incurring costs of $1.0 million, and leased back the building without an option to repurchase. No gain or loss was recognized on the transaction.

The goodwill of $65.9 million was assigned as of the acquisition date to the Company’s Tommy Hilfiger International and Calvin Klein International segments in the amounts of $56.8 million and $9.1 million, respectively, which include the Company’s reporting units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The other intangible assets of $222.2 million consisted of reacquired perpetual license rights of $204.9 million, which are indefinite-lived, order backlog of $0.3 million, which was amortized on a straight-line basis over 0.5 years, and customer relationships of $17.0 million which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 10.0 years. The Company finalized the purchase price allocation during the first quarter of 2020.

Sale of the Speedo North America Business

The Company entered into a definitive agreement on January 9, 2020 to sell its Speedo North America business to Pentland, the parent company of the Speedo brand, for $170.0 million in cash, subject to a working capital adjustment. The Company classified the assets and liabilities of the Speedo North America business as held for sale in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 2, 2020 and recorded a pre-tax noncash loss of $142.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2019 (including a $116.4 million noncash impairment charge related to the Speedo perpetual license right) to reduce the carrying value of the Speedo North America business to its estimated fair value, less costs to sell. The estimated fair value, less costs to sell, reflected the amount of consideration the Company expected to receive upon closing of the transaction, inclusive of the working capital adjustment.

The Company completed the sale of its Speedo North America business on April 6, 2020 for net proceeds of $169.1 million, subject to a final adjustment based on terms of the agreement, and deconsolidated the net assets of the business. In connection with the closing of the transaction, the Company recorded a pre-tax noncash loss of $5.9 million in the first quarter of 2020 resulting from the remeasurement of the loss recorded in the fourth quarter of 2019, primarily due to changes to the net assets of the Speedo North America business subsequent to February 2, 2020. The loss was recorded in other noncash loss, net in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations and included in the Heritage Brands Wholesale segment.

Upon the closing of the transaction, U.S.-based employees who were engaged primarily in the Speedo North America business terminated their employment with the Company. However, the Company retained the liability for any deferred vested benefits earned under its retirement plans. No further benefits will be accrued under the plans and as a result, the Company recognized a gain of $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2020 with a corresponding decrease to its pension benefit obligation. The gain was included in other noncash loss, net in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. Please see Note 8, “Retirement and Benefit Plans,” for further discussion.

The assets and liabilities of the Speedo North America business classified as held for sale in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 2, 2020 were included in the Heritage Brands Wholesale segment and consisted of the following:


(In millions)
Assets held for sale:
Trade receivables	$	48.8
Inventories, net	54.3
Prepaid expenses	0.6
Other current assets	0.6
Property, plant and equipment, net	6.1

5. REDEEMABLE NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST

The Company and Arvind formed PVH Ethiopia, in which the Company owns a 75% interest, during 2016. 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 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 EBITDA 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 3, 2020 was $(2.4) million, which is greater than the redemption amount. The carrying amount decreased from $(2.0) million as of February 2, 2020 as a result of a net loss attributable to the RNCI for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 of $0.4 million. The carrying amount of the RNCI as of May 5, 2019 was $(0.2) million.

6. INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES

The Company had investments in unconsolidated affiliates of $142.1 million, $176.3 million and $208.5 million as of May 3, 2020, February 2, 2020 and May 5, 2019, 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 owns an economic interest of approximately 8% in Karl Lagerfeld Holding B.V. (“Karl Lagerfeld”). The Company determined that recent and projected business results for Karl Lagerfeld, which included an adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, was an indicator of an other-than-temporary impairment with respect to the Company’s investment in Karl Lagerfeld as of May 3, 2020. The Company calculated the fair value of its investment using future operating cash flow projections that were discounted at a rate of 10.9%, which accounted for the relative risks of the estimated future cash flows. The Company classified this as a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the use of significant unobservable inputs. The Company determined the fair value of its investment was lower than its carrying amount as of May 3, 2020, and as a result recorded a noncash other-than temporary impairment of $12.3 million to fully impair the investment during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020. The impairment was included in equity in net (loss) income of unconsolidated affiliates in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. The impairment charge was recorded in corporate expenses not allocated to any reportable segments, consistent with how the Company has historically recorded its proportionate share of the net income or loss of its investment in Karl Lagerfeld.

7. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020, by segment (please see Note 18, “Segment Data,” for further discussion of the Company’s reportable segments), were as follows:


(In millions)	Calvin Klein North America		Calvin Klein International		Tommy Hilfiger North America		Tommy Hilfiger International		Heritage Brands Wholesale		Heritage Brands Retail		Total
Balance as of February 2, 2020
Goodwill, gross	$	780.4	$	896.1	$	204.4	$	1,598.3	$	198.4	$	11.9	$	3,689.5
Accumulated impairment losses	—		—		—		—		—		(11.9)		(11.9)
Goodwill, net	780.4		896.1		204.4		1,598.3		198.4		—		3,677.6
Impairment	(287.3)		(394.0)		—		—		(197.7)		—		(879.0)

Currency translation and other	1.0		(13.3)		(1.4)		(25.1)		(0.7)		—		(39.5)
Balance as of May 3, 2020
Goodwill, gross	781.4		882.8		203.0		1,573.2		197.7		11.9		3,650.0
Accumulated impairment losses	(287.3)		(394.0)		—		—		(197.7)		(11.9)		(890.9)
Goodwill, net	$	494.1	$	488.8	$	203.0	$	1,573.2	$	—	$	—	$	2,759.1

The Company assesses the recoverability of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets annually, at the beginning of the third quarter of each fiscal year, and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that it is more likely than not that the carrying amount may be impaired. Impairment testing for goodwill is done at the reporting unit level. Impairment testing for other indefinite-lived intangible assets is done at the individual asset level. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful life and are tested for impairment, along with other long-lived assets, when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. Indefinite-lived intangible assets and intangible assets with finite lives are tested for impairment prior to assessing the recoverability of goodwill.

Goodwill

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant adverse impact on the Company’s business during the first quarter of 2020, resulting in an unprecedented decline in revenue and earnings, and is driving an extended decline in the Company’s stock price and associated market capitalization. While there is significant uncertainty about the duration and extent of the impact of the pandemic, the Company expects there will be a significant negative impact to its future earnings and cash flows. The Company determined that the impact of COVID-19 was a triggering event that required the Company to perform a quantitative interim goodwill impairment test.

As a result of this interim test, the Company recorded $879.0 million of noncash impairment charges during the first quarter of 2020, which was included in goodwill and other intangible assets impairments in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. The impairment charges, which related to the Heritage Wholesale North America, Calvin Klein Retail North America, Calvin Klein Wholesale North America, Calvin Klein Licensing and Advertising International, and Calvin Klein International reporting units, were recorded to the Company’s segments as follows: $197.7 million in the Heritage Brands Wholesale segment, $287.3 million in the Calvin Klein North America segment, and $394.0 million in the Calvin Klein International segment. The Company’s impairment assessment was performed in accordance with the accounting guidance adopted in the first quarter of 2020 that simplifies the testing for goodwill impairment, as discussed in Note 20, “Recent Accounting Guidance.”

Of these reporting units, Calvin Klein Wholesale North America, Calvin Klein Licensing and Advertising International, and Calvin Klein International were determined to be only partially impaired. The remaining carrying amount of goodwill allocated to these reporting units as of May 3, 2020 was $162.3 million, $143.4 million and $346.9 million, respectively. Holding all other assumptions constant, a 100 basis point change in the annual revenue growth rate assumptions for these businesses would result in a change to the estimated fair value of the reporting units of approximately $80.0 million, $20.0 million and $140.0 million, respectively. Likewise, a 100 basis point change in the weighted average cost of capital would result in a change to the estimated fair value of the reporting units of approximately $60.0 million, $15.0 million and $125.0 million, respectively. While these reporting units were not determined to be fully impaired, they may be at risk of further impairment in the future in the event the related businesses do not perform as projected, including if they fail to recover as planned following the COVID-19 pandemic, or if market factors utilized in the impairment analysis deteriorate, including an unfavorable change in long-term growth rates or the weighted average cost of capital.

With respect to the Company’s other reporting units that were not determined to be impaired, the Tommy Hilfiger International reporting unit had an estimated fair value that exceeded its carrying amount of $2,948.5 million by 5%. The carrying amount of goodwill allocated to this reporting unit as of May 3, 2020 was $1,557.5 million. Holding all other assumptions constant, a 100 basis point change in the annual revenue growth rate of the Tommy Hilfiger International business would result in a change to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit of approximately $355.0 million. Likewise, a 100 basis point change in the weighted average cost of capital would result in a change to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit of approximately $320.0 million. While the Tommy Hilfiger International reporting unit was not determined to be impaired, it may be at risk of future impairment in the event the related business does not perform as projected, including if it fails to recover as planned following the COVID-19 pandemic, or if market factors utilized in the impairment analysis deteriorate, including an unfavorable change in the long-term growth rate or the weighted average cost of capital.

The fair value of the reporting units for goodwill impairment testing was determined using an income approach and validated using a market approach. The income approach was based on discounted projected future (debt-free) cash flows for each reporting unit. The discount rates applied to these cash flows were based on the weighted average cost of capital for each reporting unit, which takes market participant assumptions into consideration. Estimated future operating cash flows were discounted at rates of 10.0%, 10.5% or 11.0%, depending on the reporting unit, to account for the relative risks of the estimated future cash flows. For the market approach, used to validate the results of the income approach method, the Company used both the guideline company and similar transaction methods. The guideline company method analyzes market multiples of revenue and EBITDA for a group of comparable public companies. The market multiples used in the valuation are based on the relative strengths and weaknesses of the reporting unit compared to the selected guideline companies. Under the similar transactions method, valuation multiples are calculated utilizing actual transaction prices and revenue and EBITDA data from target companies deemed similar to the reporting unit. The Company classified the fair values of its reporting units as Level 3 fair value measurements due to the use of significant unobservable inputs.

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

The Company also determined that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business was a triggering event that prompted the need to perform interim impairment testing of its indefinite-lived intangible assets. For the TOMMY HILFIGER, CALVIN KLEIN, Van Heusen, Warner’s and Olga tradenames and the reacquired perpetual license rights for TOMMY HILFIGER in India, the Company elected to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of any asset was less than its carrying amount. For these assets, no impairment was identified as a result of the Company’s annual indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test for 2019 and the fair values of these indefinite-lived intangible assets substantially exceeded their carrying amounts. The asset with the least excess fair value had an estimated fair value that exceeded its carrying amount by approximately 85% as of the date of the Company’s 2019 annual test. Considering this and other factors, the Company determined qualitatively that it was not more likely than not that the fair values of these indefinite-lived intangible assets were less than their carrying amounts and concluded that the quantitative impairment test was not required.

For the ARROW and Geoffrey Beene tradenames and the reacquired perpetual license rights recorded in connection with the Australia acquisition, the Company elected to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceeded directly to the quantitative impairment test. As a result of this quantitative interim impairment testing, the Company recorded $47.2 million of noncash impairment charges during the first quarter of 2020 to write down the two tradenames. This included $35.6 million to write down the ARROW tradename, that had a carrying amount of $78.9 million, to a fair value of $43.3 million, and $11.6 million to write down the Geoffrey Beene tradename, that had a carrying amount of $17.0 million, to a fair value of $5.4 million. The $47.2 million of impairment charges was included in goodwill and other intangible assets impairments in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations and allocated to the Company’s Heritage Brands Wholesale segment. Holding all other assumptions constant, a 100 basis point change in the annual revenue growth rate of the Arrow business would result in a change to the estimated fair value of the tradename of approximately $5.0 million. Likewise, a 100 basis point change in the weighted average cost of capital would result in a change to the estimated fair value of the tradename of approximately $5.0 million. Holding all other assumptions constant, a 100 basis points change to the annual revenue growth rate or weighted average cost of capital in the Geoffrey Beene business would result in an immaterial change to the estimated fair value of the tradename.

With regard to the reacquired perpetual license rights recorded in connection with the Australia acquisition, the Company determined that its fair value substantially exceeded its carrying amount and, therefore, the asset was not impaired.

not having to license the tradename from another party. These cash flows are discounted to present value using a discount rate that factors in the relative risk of the intangible asset. The Company discounted the cash flows used to value the ARROW and Geoffrey Beene tradenames at a rate of 10.0%. The fair value of the Company’s reacquired perpetual license rights recorded in connection with the Australia acquisition was determined using an income approach which estimates the net cash flows directly attributable to the subject intangible asset. These cash flows are discounted to present value using a discount rate that factors in the relative risk of the intangible asset. The Company discounted the cash flows used to value the reacquired perpetual license rights recorded in connection with the Australia acquisition at a rate of 10.0%. The Company classified the fair values of these indefinite-lived intangible assets as Level 3 fair value measurements due to the use of significant unobservable inputs.

Finite-Lived Intangible Assets

Additionally, the Company recorded $7.3 million of noncash impairment charges during the first quarter of 2020 to write down certain finite-lived customer relationship intangible assets, to a fair value of zero. These impairments were included in goodwill and other intangible assets impairments in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations and allocated to the Company’s segments as follows: $4.7 million in the Heritage Brands Wholesale segment and $2.6 million in the Calvin Klein North America segment. The Company determined qualitatively that these assets, which have a relatively short remaining useful life, were not recoverable and, therefore, impaired due to the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the current and projected performance of the underlying businesses.

8. RETIREMENT AND BENEFIT PLANS

The Company, as of May 3, 2020, 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 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 components of net benefit cost recognized were as follows:


	Pension Plans						SERP Plans
	Thirteen Weeks Ended						Thirteen Weeks Ended
(In millions)	5/3/20		5/5/19		5/3/20		5/5/19

Service cost	$	11.1	$	8.2	$	1.9	1.5
Interest cost	6.4		6.9		0.9		1.0
Expected return on plan assets	(10.9)		(10.1)		—		—
Speedo deconsolidation gain	(2.2)		—		(0.6)		—


Total	$	4.4	$	5.0	$	2.2	$	2.5

The Company completed the sale of its Speedo North America business to Pentland on April 6, 2020. Upon the closing of the transaction, U.S.-based employees who were engaged primarily in the Speedo North America business terminated their employment with the Company. However, the Company retained the liability for any deferred vested benefits earned under its retirement plans. No further benefits will be accrued under the plans and as a result, the Company recognized a gain of $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2020 with a corresponding decrease to its pension benefit obligation. The gain was included in

other noncash loss, net in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. Please see Note 4, “Acquisitions and Divestitures,” for further discussion of the sale of the Speedo North America business.

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 3, 2020 and May 5, 2019.

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 Statements of Operations.

Currently, the Company does not expect to make material contributions to the Pension Plans in 2020. 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 the senior unsecured credit facilities discussed below in the section entitled “2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities.” The Company had $168.0 million outstanding under these facilities as of May 3, 2020. The weighted average interest rate on funds borrowed as of May 3, 2020 was 1.93%. The maximum amount of revolving borrowings outstanding under these facilities during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 was $745.7 million.

The Company also has the ability to draw revolving borrowings under its new 364-day unsecured revolving credit facility, as discussed in the section entitled “2020 Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility” below. The Company had no borrowings outstanding under this facility as of or during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020.

Additionally, the Company has the ability 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 $174.4 million based on exchange rates in effect on May 3, 2020 and are utilized primarily to fund working capital needs. The Company had $73.8 million outstanding under these facilities as of May 3, 2020. The weighted average interest rate on funds borrowed as of May 3, 2020 was 1.94%. The maximum amount of borrowings outstanding under these facilities during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 was $73.8 million.

Commercial Paper

The Company has the ability to issue, from time to time, unsecured commercial paper notes with maturities that vary but do not exceed 397 days from the date of issuance primarily to fund working capital needs. The Company had $80.3 million of borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper note program as of May 3, 2020, all of which matured in May 2020. The weighted average interest rate on funds borrowed under the program as of May 3, 2020 was 2.05%. The maximum amount of borrowings outstanding under the program during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 was $165.0 million.

The commercial paper program allows for borrowings of up to $675.0 million to the extent that the Company has borrowing capacity under the United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility included in the 2019 facilities (as defined below). Accordingly, the combined aggregate amount of (i) borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper note program and (ii) the revolving borrowings outstanding under the United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility at any one time cannot exceed $675.0 million. The maximum aggregate amount of borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper program and the United States dollar-denominated portion of the revolving credit facility during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 was $659.9 million.

2020 Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

On April 8, 2020, the Company entered into a 364-day $275.0 million United States dollar-denominated unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2020 facility”). The Company may increase the commitment under the 2020 facility by an aggregate amount not to exceed $100.0 million, subject to certain customary conditions. The 2020 facility will mature on April 7, 2021. The

Company incurred $2.0 million of debt issuance costs during the first quarter of 2020, which are being amortized over the term of the debt agreement.

Currently, the Company’s obligations under the 2020 facility are unsecured and are not guaranteed by any of the Company’s subsidiaries. However, within 120 days after the occurrence of a specified credit ratings decrease (as set forth in the 2020 facility), (i) the Company must cause each of its wholly owned United States subsidiaries (subject to certain customary exceptions) to become a guarantor under the 2020 facility and (ii) the Company and each subsidiary guarantor will be required to grant liens, as collateral agent, on substantially all of their respective assets (subject to customary exceptions).

The outstanding borrowings under the 2020 facility are prepayable at any time without penalty (other than customary breakage costs). The borrowings under the 2020 facility bear an interest 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 2020 facility.

The initial applicable margin with respect to the borrowings will be 2.250% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 1.250% for base rate loans. The applicable margin for borrowings will be adjusted based upon the Company’s public debt rating after the date of delivery of notice of a change in the Company’s public debt rating by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s.

The Company had no borrowings outstanding under the 2020 facility during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020.

The 2020 facility requires the Company to comply with customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including a minimum interest coverage ratio and maximum net leverage ratio, which are subject to change in the event that, and in the same manner as, the minimum interest coverage ratio and maximum net leverage ratio covenants under the 2019 facilities are amended. Refer to the section entitled “2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities” below for discussion of an amendment to the 2019 facilities in June 2020. A breach of any of these operating or financial covenants would result in a default under the 2020 facility. 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.

The 2020 facility contains other customary events of default in addition to violations of covenants discussed above, including but not limited to nonpayment; material inaccuracy of representations and warranties; 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; and a change in control (as defined in the 2020 facility).

Long-Term Debt

The carrying amounts of the Company’s long-term debt were as follows:


(In millions)	5/3/20			2/2/20			5/5/19

Senior unsecured Term Loan A facilities due 2024 ⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾	$	1,558.4		$	1,569.5		$	1,644.0

Less: Current portion of long-term debt	13.6			13.8			31.0
Long-term debt	$	2,854.2		$	2,693.9		$	2,759.4

⁽¹⁾ The outstanding principal balance for the United States dollar-denominated Term Loan A facility and the euro-denominated Term Loan A facility was $1,029.6 million and €490.6 million, respectively, as of May 3, 2020.

⁽²⁾ The carrying amount of the Company’s euro-denominated Term Loan A facility and senior unsecured euro notes includes the impact of changes in the exchange rate of the United States dollar against the euro.

⁽³⁾ Includes €350.0 million principal amount of 3 5/8% senior unsecured euro notes due 2024 that were issued on June 20, 2016.

⁽⁴⁾ Includes an additional €175.0 million principal amount of 3 5/8% senior unsecured euro notes due 2024 that were issued on April 24, 2020.

Please see Note 12, “Fair Value Measurements,” for the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt as of May 3, 2020, February 2, 2020 and May 5, 2019.

As of May 3, 2020, the Company’s mandatory long-term debt repayments for the remainder of 2020 through 2025 were as follows:


(In millions)
Fiscal Year	Amount ⁽¹⁾
Remainder of 2020	$	10.2
2021	38.7
2022	102.3
2023	222.8
2024	1,860.2
2025	—

⁽¹⁾ A portion of the Company’s mandatory long-term debt repayments are denominated in euro and subject to changes in the exchange rate of the United States dollar against the euro.

Total debt repayments for the remainder of 2020 through 2025 exceed the total carrying amount of the Company’s Term Loan A facilities, 7 3/4% debentures due 2023 and 3 5/8% senior euro notes due 2024 as of May 3, 2020 because the carrying amount reflects the unamortized portions of debt issuance costs and the original issue discounts.

As of May 3, 2020, 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 65% 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.

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 paid 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 and have a portion 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 $1,558.4 million, net of debt issuance costs and based on applicable exchange rates, under the TLA facilities, $168.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the senior unsecured revolving credit facilities and $24.2 million of outstanding letters of credit under the senior unsecured revolving credit facilities as of May 3, 2020.

The terms of the TLA facilities require the Company to make quarterly repayments of amounts outstanding under the 2019 facilities, which commenced with the calendar quarter ended 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 payments of $3.4 million on its term loans under the 2019 facilities during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020. The Company made no payments on its term loans under the 2019 facilities and 2016 facilities during the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019 other than the repayment of the 2016 facilities in connection with the refinancing of the 2016 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.

Borrowings available in Hong Kong dollars 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 applicable margin with respect to the TLA facilities and each revolving credit facility as of May 3, 2020 was 1.250% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 0.250% 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 3, 2020 and/or May 5, 2019:


(In millions)
Designation Date	Commencement Date	Initial Notional Amount		Notional Amount Outstanding as of May 3, 2020		Fixed Rate	Expiration Date
March 2020	February 2021	$	50.0	$	—	0.562%	February 2023
February 2020	February 2021	50.0		—		1.1625%	February 2023
February 2020	February 2020	50.0		50.0		1.2575%	February 2023
August 2019	February 2020	50.0		50.0		1.1975%	February 2022
June 2019	February 2020	50.0		50.0		1.409%	February 2022
June 2019	June 2019	50.0		50.0		1.719%	July 2021
January 2019	February 2020	50.0		50.0		2.4187%	February 2021
November 2018	February 2019	139.2		126.6		2.8645%	February 2021
October 2018	February 2019	115.7		159.8		2.9975%	February 2021
June 2018	August 2018	50.0		50.0		2.6825%	February 2021
June 2017	February 2018	306.5		—		1.566%	February 2020

The notional amounts of the outstanding interest rate swaps that commenced in 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 require the Company to comply with customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum net leverage ratio. As of May 3, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial and non-financial covenants under these facilities. Given the disruption to the Company’s business caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and to ensure financial flexibility, the Company amended these facilities in June 2020 to provide temporary relief of certain financial covenants until the date on which a compliance certificate is delivered for the second quarter of 2021 (the “relief period”) unless the Company elects to terminate the relief period and satisfies the conditions for doing so (the “June 2020 Amendment”). The June 2020 Amendment provides for the following during the relief period, among other things: (i) suspension of compliance with the maximum net leverage ratio through and including the first quarter of 2021, (ii) suspension of the minimum interest coverage ratio through and including the first quarter of 2021, (iii) addition of a minimum liquidity covenant of $400.0 million, (iv) addition of a restricted payment covenant and (v) imposition of stricter limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness and liens. The limitation on restricted payments require that the Company suspend payments of dividends on its common stock and purchases of shares under its stock repurchase program during the relief

period. The June 2020 Amendment also provides that during the relief period the applicable margin will be increased 0.25%. In addition, under the June 2020 Amendment, in the event there is a specified credit ratings downgrade by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s during the relief period (as set forth in the June 2020 Amendment), within 120 days thereafter (i) the Company must cause each of its wholly owned United States subsidiaries (subject to certain customary exceptions) to become a guarantor under the 2019 facilities and (ii) the Company and each subsidiary guarantor will be required to grant liens, as collateral agent, on substantially all of their respective assets (subject to customary exceptions).

The Company expects to maintain compliance with the financial covenants (as amended) under the 2019 facilities for at least the next 12 months based on its current forecasts. If the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business worsen and its earnings and operating cash flows do not start to recover as currently estimated by management, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain compliance with these financial covenants (as amended) in the future. There can be no assurance that the Company would be able to obtain future waivers in a timely manner, on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. If the Company was not able to maintain compliance or obtain a future covenant waiver under its credit facilities, there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to raise sufficient debt or equity capital, or divest assets, to refinance or repay such facilities.

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 €525.0 million euro-denominated principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due July 15, 2024, of which €175.0 million principal amount was issued on April 24, 2020. Interest on the notes is payable in euros. The Company incurred €2.8 million (approximately $3.0 million based on exchange rates in effect on the payment date) of fees during the first quarter of 2020 in connection with the issuance of the additional €175.0 million notes, which are being amortized over the term of the notes. 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.

The Company’s financing arrangements contain financial and non-financial covenants and customary events of default. As of May 3, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial and non-financial covenants under its financing arrangements.

The Company also has standby letters of credit outside of its 2019 facilities primarily to collateralize the Company's insurance and lease obligations. The Company had $36.3 million of these standby letters of credit outstanding as of May 3, 2020.

Please see Note 9, “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 2, 2020 for further discussion of the Company’s debt.

10. INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rates for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 and May 5, 2019 were 11.5% and 22.4%, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 reflected a $(142.4) million income tax benefit recorded on $(1,239.6) million of pre-tax losses. The effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019 reflected a $23.6 million income tax expense recorded on $105.2 million of pre-tax income.

The effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 was lower than the United States statutory income tax rate primarily due to the impact of the $879.0 million of pre-tax goodwill impairment charges, which were mostly non-deductible for tax purposes and resulted in a 10.2% decrease in the Company’s effective income tax rate. The pre-tax goodwill

impairment charges were factored into the Company’s annualized effective income tax rate and, as such, will have a corresponding impact on the Company’s quarterly effective income tax rates for the remainder of 2020.

The Company files income tax returns in more than 40 international jurisdictions each year. A substantial amount of the Company’s earnings are in international jurisdictions, particularly 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, “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. During the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020, the Company dedesignated certain cash flow hedges due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in the release of an immaterial gain from AOCL into the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company continues to believe that transactions relating to its other designated cash flow hedges are probable to occur as of May 3, 2020.

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 (i) €600.0 million euro-denominated principal amount of 3 1/8% senior notes due 2027 and (ii) €525.0 million euro-denominated principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due 2024, of which €175.0 million principal amount was issued during the first quarter of 2020, (collectively, “foreign currency borrowings”), that were issued by PVH Corp., a U.S.-based entity, 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 $1,167.1 million and $1,209.7 million, respectively, as of May 3, 2020, $1,178.6 million and $1,038.5 million, respectively, as of February 2, 2020 and $1,144.1 million and $1,046.8 million, respectively, as of May 5, 2019. 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.

The following table summarizes the fair value and presentation of the Company’s derivative financial instruments in its Consolidated Balance Sheets:


(In millions)	Assets																							Liabilities
	5/3/20						2/2/20						5/5/19					5/3/20						2/2/20		5/5/19

The notional amount outstanding of foreign currency forward exchange contracts was $1,187.9 million at May 3, 2020. Such contracts expire principally between May 2020 and August 2021.

The following tables summarize the effect of the Company’s hedges designated as cash flow and net investment hedging instruments:


	Gain (Loss) Recognized in Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income

(In millions)

Interest rate swap agreements	(1.7)		0.2		Interest expense	22.5		31.0
Total	$	0.5	$	15.2

A net gain in AOCL on foreign currency forward exchange contracts at May 3, 2020 of $46.0 million is estimated to be reclassified in the next 12 months in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations 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 3, 2020 of $10.8 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.

The following table summarizes the effect of the Company’s undesignated contracts recognized in SG&A expenses in its Consolidated Statements of Operations:


(In millions)	Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income (Expense)

Foreign currency forward exchange contracts	$	0.6	$	(0.1)

The Company had no derivative financial instruments with credit risk-related contingent features underlying the related contracts as of May 3, 2020.

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.

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:


	5/3/20										2/2/20								5/5/19
(In millions)	Level 1	Level 2		Level 3	Total		Level 1	Level 2		Level 3	Total		Level 1	Level 2		Level 3	Total
Assets:
Foreign currency forward exchange contracts	N/A	$	42.4	N/A	$	42.4	N/A	$	23.3	N/A	$	23.3	N/A	$	37.8	N/A	$	37.8
Interest rate swap agreements	N/A	—		N/A	—		N/A	0.1		N/A	0.1		N/A	0.9		N/A	0.9
Total Assets	N/A	$	42.4	N/A	$	42.4	N/A	$	23.4	N/A	$	23.4	N/A	$	38.7	N/A	$	38.7

Liabilities:
Foreign currency forward exchange contracts	N/A	$	2.7	N/A	$	2.7	N/A	$	2.2	N/A	$	2.2	N/A	$	2.2	N/A	$	2.2
Interest rate swap agreements	N/A	13.5		N/A	13.5		N/A	5.9		N/A	5.9		N/A	3.6		N/A	3.6

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 Company’s non-financial assets, which primarily consist of goodwill, other intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, and operating lease right-of-use assets, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and instead are reported at their carrying amount. However, on a periodic basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be fully recoverable (and at least annually for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets), non-financial assets are assessed for impairment. If the fair value is determined to be lower than the carrying amount, an impairment charge is recorded to write down the asset to its fair value. As a result of the significant adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business, the Company determined that sufficient indicators existed to trigger the performance of an interim impairment analysis for certain of the Company’s non-financial assets as of May 3, 2020.

The following tables show the fair values of the Company’s non-financial assets that were required to be remeasured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 and May 5, 2019, and the total impairments recorded as a result of the remeasurement process:



(In millions)	Fair Value Measurement Using								Fair Value As Of Impairment Date	Total Impairments
5/3/2020	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3

Property, plant and equipment, net	N/A	N/A	$	1.1	$	1.1	$	16.0
Goodwill	N/A	N/A	652.6		652.6		879.0
Tradenames	N/A	N/A	48.7		48.7		47.2
Other intangible assets, net	N/A	N/A	—		—		7.3
Investments in unconsolidated affiliates	N/A	N/A	—		—		12.3

5/5/2019
Operating lease right-of-use assets	N/A	N/A	16.8		16.8		77.0
Property, plant and equipment, net	N/A	N/A	—		—		6.7

Property, plant and equipment with a carrying amount of $17.1 million was written down to a fair value of $1.1 million during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020, primarily as a result of the adverse impacts the COVID-19 pandemic has had, and is expected to continue to have, on the Company’s retail stores with lease terms expiring by the end of fiscal 2021 with no intention of renewal, including temporary store closures and reduced traffic and consumer spending trends. 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.

Goodwill with a carrying amount of $1,531.6 million was written down to a fair value of $652.6 million during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020. Please see Note 7, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” for further discussion.

Tradenames with a carrying amount of $95.9 million were written down to a fair value of $48.7 million during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020. Please see Note 7, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” for further discussion.

Other intangible assets with a carrying amount of $7.3 million were written down to a fair value of zero during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020. Please see Note 7, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” for further discussion.

The Company’s equity method investment in Karl Lagerfeld with a carrying amount of $12.3 million was written down to a fair value of zero during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020. Please see Note 6, “Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates,” for further discussion.

The $961.8 million of impairment charges during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 were recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations, of which $933.5 million was included in goodwill and other intangible assets impairments, $16.0 million was included in SG&A expenses, and $12.3 million was included in equity in net (loss) income of unconsolidated affiliates. The $961.8 million of impairment charges was recorded to the Company’s segments as follows: $395.8 million in the Calvin Klein International segment, $293.1 million in the Calvin Klein North America segment, $249.6 million in the Heritage Brands Wholesale segment, $4.1 million in the Tommy Hilfiger North America segment, $3.8 million in the Heritage Brands Retail segment, $3.1 million in the Tommy Hilfiger International segment and $12.3 million was recorded in corporate expenses not allocated to any reportable segments.

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 (the “Calvin Klein restructuring”). 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 in connection with the Calvin Klein restructuring. 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 $83.7 million of impairment charges during the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019 were included in SG&A expenses, of which $48.6 million was recorded in the Tommy Hilfiger North America segment, $32.2 million was recorded in the Calvin Klein North America segment and $2.9 million was recorded in the Calvin Klein International segment.

The carrying amounts and the fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, short-term borrowings and long-term debt were as follows:


	5/3/20						2/2/20						5/5/19
(In millions)	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value

Cash and cash equivalents	$	800.7	$	800.7	$	503.4	$	503.4	$	494.3	$	494.3
Short-term borrowings	322.1		322.1		49.6		49.6		299.7		299.7

Long-term debt (including portion classified as current)	2,867.8		2,759.6		2,707.7		2,869.7		2,790.4		2,907.7

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 Stock Incentive Plan (the “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 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 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 Plan are classified as equity awards, which are recorded in stockholders’ equity in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Through May 3, 2020, the Company has granted under the Plan (i) service-based stock options, RSUs and restricted stock; and (ii) contingently issuable PSUs and RSUs. There was no restricted stock outstanding as of May 3, 2020.

According to the terms of the 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 (loss) income for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 and May 5, 2019 included $10.0 million and $13.9 million, respectively, of pre-tax expense related to stock-based compensation, with related recognized income tax benefits of $1.4 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

The Company receives a tax deduction for certain transactions associated with its stock-based awards. The actual income tax benefits realized from these transactions during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 and May 5, 2019 were $1.7 million and $7.8 million, respectively. The tax benefits realized included discrete net excess tax (deficiencies) benefits of $(4.5) million and $1.3 million recognized in the Company’s provision for income taxes during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 and May 5, 2019, respectively.

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 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 3, 2020 and May 5, 2019 and the resulting weighted average grant date fair value per stock option:


	5/3/20			5/5/19
Weighted average risk-free interest rate	0.53		%	2.34		%
Weighted average expected stock option term (in years)	6.25			6.25
Weighted average Company volatility	44.77		%	28.03		%
Expected annual dividends per share	$	0.15		$	0.15
Weighted average grant date fair value per stock option	$	20.14		$	41.15

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 anticipated common stock cash dividend rate; the dividend assumption for the stock options granted during the first quarter of 2020 was not affected by the Company's suspension of its cash dividend beginning with the second quarter of 2020 in response to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business, as such suspension was viewed as temporary.

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.

Stock option activity for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 was as follows:


(In thousands, except per stock option data)	Stock Options	Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Stock Option
Outstanding at February 2, 2020	902	$	109.25
Granted	158	47.96
Exercised	—	—
Cancelled	17	77.65
Outstanding at May 3, 2020	1,043	$	100.47
Exercisable at May 3, 2020	685	$	108.20

RSUs

RSUs granted to employees generally vest in four equal annual installments commencing one year 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 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.

RSU activity for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 was as follows:


(In thousands, except per RSU data)	RSUs	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per RSU
Non-vested at February 2, 2020	996	$	117.28
Granted	347	47.96
Vested	248	120.80
Cancelled	19	123.26
Non-vested at May 3, 2020	1,076	$	94.00

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 2017, the three-year performance period ended during the first quarter of 2020 and holders of the awards did not earn any shares since the market condition was not satisfied. 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 3, 2020 and May 5, 2019 and the resulting weighted average grant date fair value per PSU:


	5/3/20			5/5/19
Risk-free interest rate	0.20		%	2.26		%
Expected Company volatility	48.91		%	29.88		%
Expected annual dividends per share	$	0.15		$	0.15
Weighted average grant date fair value per PSU	$	58.82		$	129.46

The risk-free interest rate is based on United States Treasury yields in effect at the date of grant for the term corresponding to the three-year performance-period. Company volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over a period of time corresponding to the three-year performance-period. Expected dividends are based on the Company’s anticipated common stock cash dividend rate; the dividend assumption for the PSUs granted during the first quarter of 2020 was not affected by the Company's suspension of its cash dividend beginning with the second quarter of 2020 in response to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business, as such suspension was viewed as temporary.

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 15.05% in 2020 and 6.20% in 2019 for the restriction of liquidity, which was calculated using the Chaffe model.

PSU activity for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 was as follows:


(In thousands, except per PSU data)	PSUs	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per PSU
Non-vested at February 2, 2020	181	$	119.63
Granted at target	74	58.82
Reduction due to market condition not satisfied	70	96.47
Vested	—	—
Cancelled	—	—
Non-vested at May 3, 2020	185	$	104.29

⁽¹⁾Foreign currency translation adjustments included a net gain on net investment hedges of $11.5 million and $22.4 million during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 and May 5, 2019, respectively.

⁽²⁾Unfavorable foreign currency translation adjustments were principally driven by a strengthening of the United States dollar against the euro.

The following table presents reclassifications from AOCL to earnings for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 and May 5, 2019:


	Amount Reclassified from AOCL					Affected Line Item in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations

15. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Acquisition of Treasury Shares

The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized over time since 2015 an aggregate $2.0 billion stock repurchase program through June 3, 2023. 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.

The Company suspended share repurchases under the stock repurchase program beginning in mid-March 2020 in order to increase its cash position and preserve financial flexibility in response to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business. In addition, under the terms of the June 2020 Amendment, share repurchases are not permitted during the relief period (as defined). Please see Note 9, “Debt,” for further discussion. The existing stock repurchase program remains authorized by the Board of Directors and the Company may resume share repurchases after the restrictions under the June 2020 Amendment lapse.

Repurchases under the program, when it is being used, 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.

During the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 and May 5, 2019, the Company purchased 1.4 million shares and 0.5 million shares, respectively, of its common stock under the program in open market transactions for $110.7 million and $61.2 million, respectively. As of May 3, 2020, the repurchased shares were held as treasury stock and $572.6 million of the authorization remained available for future share repurchases.

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

Common Stock Dividends

The Company declared a $0.0375 per share dividend payable to its common stockholders of record as of March 4, 2020, in respect of which the Company made dividend payments totaling $2.7 million on March 31, 2020. Following the payment of the $0.0375 per common share dividend on March 31, 2020, the Company suspended its dividends in order to increase its cash position and preserve financial flexibility in response to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business. In addition, under the terms of the June 2020 Amendment, dividend payments are not permitted during the relief period (as defined). Please see Note 9, “Debt,” for further discussion. The Company declared two $0.0375 per share dividends payable to its common stockholders totaling $5.7 million during the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019.

16. NET (LOSS) INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

The Company computed its basic and diluted net (loss) income per common share as follows:


	Thirteen Weeks Ended
(In millions, except per share data)	5/3/20		5/5/19

Net (loss) income attributable to PVH Corp.	$	(1,096.8)	$	82.0

Weighted average common shares outstanding for basic net (loss) income per common share	71.4		75.2
Weighted average impact of dilutive securities	—		0.7

Total shares for diluted net (loss) income per common share	71.4		75.9

Basic net (loss) income per common share attributable to PVH Corp.	$	(15.37)	$	1.09

Diluted net (loss) income per common share attributable to PVH Corp.	$	(15.37)	$	1.08

Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculation of diluted net (loss) income per common share as the effect would be anti-dilutive were as follows:

Thirteen Weeks Ended

(In millions)

5/3/20

5/5/19

Weighted average potentially dilutive securities

2.0

0.5

Diluted net loss per common share attributable to PVH Corp. for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 excluded all potentially dilutive securities because there was a net loss attributable to PVH Corp. for the period and, as such, the inclusion of these securities would have been anti-dilutive.

Shares underlying contingently issuable awards that have not met the necessary conditions as of the end of a reporting period are not included in the calculation of diluted net (loss) income per common share for that period. The Company had contingently issuable PSU awards outstanding that did not meet the performance conditions as of May 5, 2019 and, therefore, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net (loss) income per common share for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019. The maximum number of potentially dilutive shares that could be issued upon vesting for these PSU awards was 0.4 million and 0.2 million as of May 3, 2020 and May 5, 2019, respectively. These amounts were also excluded from the computation of weighted average potentially dilutive securities in the table above.

20. RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

The FASB issued in June 2016 an update to accounting guidance that introduces a new impairment model used to measure credit losses for certain financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade and other receivables. This update requires entities to record an allowance for credit losses using a forward-looking expected loss impairment model that considers historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectibility, rather than the incurred loss model required under existing guidance. The Company adopted the update in the first quarter of 2020 using the modified-retrospective approach. Upon adoption, the Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment of initially applying the update as a $1.0 million decrease to retained earnings with an offsetting decrease to other assets. Otherwise, the adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The FASB issued in January 2017 an update to accounting guidance to simplify the test for goodwill impairment. The update eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure the amount of the goodwill impairment

charge, if any, under the second step of the goodwill impairment test. Under the update, the goodwill impairment charge would be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value. The impairment charge recognized, if any, should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The Company performed an interim goodwill impairment assessment in accordance with the updated guidance in the first quarter of 2020. Please see Note 7, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” for further discussion.

Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Adopted as of May 3, 2020

The FASB issued in December 2019 an update to accounting guidance to simplify the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions to the existing guidance and clarifying and amending certain guidance to reduce diversity in practice. The update eliminates certain exceptions to the guidance related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The update also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The update will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2021, with early adoption permitted. Most amendments in the update are required to be adopted using a prospective approach, while other amendments must be adopted using a modified-retrospective approach or retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the update to determine the impact of the adoption on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The FASB issued in March 2020 an update related to the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments in the update provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates if certain criteria are met. The amendments can be applied on a prospective basis through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the update to determine the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

21. 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 no principal payments during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020. The Company received principal payments of $0.2 million during the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019. The outstanding balance, including accrued interest, was $13.2 million, $13.4 million and $13.4 million as of May 3, 2020, February 2, 2020 and May 5, 2019, respectively, and was included in other assets (current and non-current) 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 Statements of Operations. Warehousing and distribution expenses incurred in the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 and May 5, 2019 totaled $79.6 million and $77.1 million, respectively, and included costs of $6.8 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 related to the consolidation within the Company’s warehouse and distribution network in North America.

The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through trade receivables from its customers and licensees. The Company records an allowance for credit losses as a reduction to its trade receivables for amounts that the Company does not expect to recover. The allowance for credit losses is determined through an analysis of the aging of accounts receivable and assessments of collectibility based on historic trends, the financial condition of the Company’s customers and licensees, including any known or anticipated bankruptcies, and an evaluation of current economic conditions as well as the Company’s expectations of conditions in the future. The Company writes off uncollectible trade receivables once collection efforts have been exhausted and third parties confirm the balance is not recoverable. As of May 3, 2020 and February 2, 2020, the allowance for credit losses on trade receivables was $54.0 million and $21.1 million, respectively. The $32.9 million increase in the allowance was primarily due to the evaluation of certain customer and licensee account balances in connection with changes in their financial condition and/or developments regarding their credit, including the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

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, which we licensed for North America and the Caribbean until April 6, 2020, 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 global apparel companies in the world and, in March 2020, we marked our 100-year anniversary as a listed company on the New York Stock Exchange. We manage a diversified brand portfolio, including TOMMY HILFIGER, CALVIN KLEIN, Van Heusen, IZOD, ARROW, Warner’s, Olga, True&Co. and Geoffrey Beene. We had a perpetual license for Speedo until April 6, 2020. Our brand portfolio also consists of various other owned, licensed and, to a lesser extent, 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 $9.9 billion in 2019, of which over 50% was generated outside of the United States. Our global lifestyle brands, TOMMY HILFIGER and CALVIN KLEIN, together generated approximately 85% of our revenue.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COVID-19 Pandemic Update

The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and is expected to continue to have, a significant adverse impact on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations in 2020.

Virtually all of our retail stores were temporarily closed for varying periods of time throughout the first quarter of 2020 as a result of the pandemic. Stores were closed for six weeks on average during the first quarter, with some stores beginning to reopen starting early in the second quarter. Approximately 85% of our retail stores globally have reopened as of the date of this report, although most are operating on reduced hours and occupancy levels. Our brick and mortar wholesale customers and licensing partners also experienced significant business disruptions as a result of the pandemic, resulting in a decrease in our revenue from these channels. Most of our brick and mortar wholesale customers have reopened the majority of their locations across all regions as of the date of this report. However, due to the significant levels of inventory that remain in their stores, the majority of our North American and European brick and mortar wholesale customers have stopped accepting shipments beginning in March, which has not materially improved into the second quarter.

In addition, COVID-19 has also impacted some of our suppliers, including third-party manufacturers, logistics providers and other vendors. With some of our partners operating at reduced capacity, we continue to monitor for any potential delays or disruptions in our supply chain and will implement mitigation plans if needed.

We have taken the following actions, which are ongoing, to reduce our operating expenses in response to COVID-19: (i) reducing payroll costs, including salary and incentive compensation reductions, furloughs, decreased working hours, and hiring freezes, as well as taking advantage of applicable government relief programs, and (ii) eliminating or reducing other discretionary and variable operating expenses, including marketing, travel, consulting services, and creative and design costs.

We have also taken actions to preserve liquidity and strengthen our financial flexibility. Please see the section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for further discussion.

COVID-19 resulted in an unprecedented decline in our revenue and earnings during the first quarter of 2020, including $962 million of pre-tax noncash impairment charges, primarily related to goodwill, as well as increases in our inventory and accounts receivable reserves of $59 million and $33 million, respectively.

While there is significant uncertainty as to the duration and extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we expect the pandemic will continue to have a significant negative impact on our revenue and net income for the remainder of 2020. Even as government restrictions are lifted and retail stores reopen, the ongoing economic impacts and health concerns associated with the pandemic may continue to affect consumer behavior, spending levels, shopping preferences and tourism and could result in reduced traffic and consumer spending trends that adversely impact our financial position and results of operations.

Operations Overview

We generate net sales from (i) the wholesale distribution to retailers, franchisees, licensees and distributors of dress shirts, neckwear, sportswear (casual apparel), jeanswear, performance apparel, intimate apparel, underwear, swimwear, 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 1,820 Company-operated free-standing 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 our TOMMY HILFIGER and CALVIN KLEIN trademarks and in the United States through our directly operated digital commerce sites for True&Co., Van Heusen, IZOD, and until April 6, 2020, Speedo. 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 2020 expectations as compared to full year 2019, as discussed in the section entitled “Results of Operations” below:

•We entered into a definitive agreement on January 9, 2020 to sell our Speedo North America business to Pentland Group PLC (“Pentland”), the parent company of the Speedo brand, and completed the sale of the business on April 6, 2020 for net proceeds of $169 million, subject to a final adjustment based on the terms of the agreement (the “Speedo transaction”). Upon the closing of the transaction, we deconsolidated the net assets of the Speedo North America business. We recorded a pre-tax noncash loss of $142 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 in connection with the pending Speedo transaction consisting of (i) a noncash impairment of our perpetual license right for the Speedo trademark and (ii) a noncash loss to reduce the carrying value of the business to its estimated fair value, less costs to sell. We recorded an additional net pre-tax noncash loss of $3 million in the first quarter of 2020 upon closing of the transaction. Please see Note 4, “Acquisitions and Divestitures,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.

•We entered into agreements on July 3, 2019 to terminate early the licenses for the global Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger North America socks and hosiery businesses (the “Socks and Hosiery transaction”) in order to consolidate the socks and hosiery businesses for all of our brands in the United States and Canada in a newly formed joint venture, PVH Legwear LLC (“PVH Legwear”), in which we own a 49% economic interest, and to bring in-house the international Calvin Klein socks and hosiery wholesale businesses. PVH Legwear was formed with a wholly owned subsidiary of our former Heritage Brands socks and hosiery licensee, and has licensed from us since December 2019 the rights to distribute and sell TOMMY HILFIGER, CALVIN KLEIN, IZOD, Van Heusen and Warner’s socks and hosiery in the United States and Canada. We recorded a pre-tax charge of $60 million during 2019 in connection with these agreements.

•We completed two acquisitions in the second quarter of 2019. 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 a joint venture, PVH Brands Australia Pty. Limited (“PVH Australia”), which licensed and operated businesses under the TOMMY HILFIGER, CALVIN KLEIN and Van Heusen brands, along with other licensed and owned brands. PVH Australia came under our full control as a result of the acquisition and we now operate directly those businesses. The aggregate net purchase price for the shares acquired was $59 million, net of cash acquired and after taking into account the proceeds from the divestiture to a third party of an office building and warehouse owned by Gazal in June 2019. The second was our acquisition on July 1, 2019 of the Tommy Hilfiger retail business in Central and Southeast Asia from our previous licensee in that market (the “TH CSAP acquisition”) for $74 million, as a result of which we now operate directly the Tommy Hilfiger retail business in the Central and Southeast Asia market. Please see Note 4, “Acquisitions and Divestitures,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.

In connection with the Australia and TH CSAP acquisitions, we recorded an aggregate net pre-tax gain of $83 million during 2019, including (i) a noncash gain of $113 million to write up our existing equity investments in Gazal and PVH Australia to fair value, partially offset by (ii) $21 million of pre-tax costs, primarily consisting of noncash valuation adjustments and one-time expenses recorded on our equity investments in Gazal and PVH Australia prior to the Australia acquisition closing, and (iii) a $9 million expense recorded in interest expense, net resulting from the remeasurement of our mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest that was recognized in connection with the Australia acquisition. We recorded pre-tax income of $4 million in the first quarter of 2020 in interest expense, net resulting from the remeasurement of the mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest that was recognized in connection with the Australia acquisition.

•We entered into a licensing agreement on May 30, 2019 with G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. (“G-III”) for the design, production and wholesale distribution of CALVIN KLEIN JEANS women’s jeanswear collections in the United States and Canada (the “G-III license”), which resulted in the discontinuation of our directly operated Calvin Klein North America women’s jeanswear wholesale business in 2019.

•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 included (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. All costs related to this restructuring were incurred by the end of 2019. We recorded pre-tax costs of $103 million during 2019 in connection with the Calvin Klein restructuring, 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, $26 million of contract termination and other costs, $26 million of severance, $9 million of other noncash asset impairments and $13 million of inventory markdowns, of which $70 million was incurred in the first quarter of 2019.

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 revenue is unfavorably impacted during times of a strengthening United States dollar against the foreign currencies in which we generate significant revenue and favorably impacted during times of a weakening United States dollar against those currencies. Our earnings are similarly affected by foreign currency translation in periods that we generate income; however, in periods that we generate losses, as is currently expected in 2020, our results will be favorably impacted during times of a strengthening United States dollar against the foreign currencies in which we generate losses and unfavorably impacted during times of a weakening United States dollar against those currencies. Over 50% of our 2019 revenue was subject to foreign currency translation. The United States dollar strengthened against most major currencies in the latter part of 2018 and in 2019, particularly the euro, which is the foreign currency in which we transact the most business. We currently expect foreign currency translation to have a slight negative impact on our revenue in 2020 as compared to 2019.

There is also a transactional impact on our financial results because inventory typically is purchased in United States dollars by our foreign subsidiaries. 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 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. The strengthening of the United States dollar against most major currencies in the latter part of 2018 and in 2019, particularly the euro, is expected to negatively impact our gross margin during 2020. 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. We currently expect a negative transactional impact on our net income in 2020 as compared to 2019.

Further, we have exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to our €1,125 million aggregate principal amount of euro-denominated senior notes that are held in the United States. The strengthening of the United States dollar against the euro would require us to use a lower amount of our cash flows from operations to pay interest and make long-term debt repayments, whereas 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 issued by PVH Corp., a U.S.-based entity, 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 refer to sales from Company-operated retail stores that have been open and operated by us 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 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 prolonged period of time 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. Due to the extensive store closures resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, retail comparable store sales are not reported for the first quarter of 2020, as we do not believe this metric is currently meaningful.

SEASONALITY

Absent the effects of the COVID-19 global pandemic, 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 seasonal factors, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic, our results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year.

Thirteen Weeks Ended May 3, 2020 Compared With Thirteen Weeks Ended May 5, 2019

Total Revenue

Total revenue in the first quarter of 2020 was $1.344 billion as compared to $2.356 billion in the first quarter of the prior year. The decrease in revenue of $1.012 billion, or 43%, was due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and included the aggregate effect of the following items:

•The reduction of an aggregate $406 million of revenue, or a 39% decrease over the prior year period, attributable to our Tommy Hilfiger International and Tommy Hilfiger North America segments, which included a negative impact of 1% related to foreign currency translation. Tommy Hilfiger International segment revenue decreased 32% (including a 2% negative foreign currency impact). Revenue in our Tommy Hilfiger North America segment decreased 51%.

•The reduction of an aggregate $413 million of revenue, or 46% decrease over the prior year period, attributable to our Calvin Klein International and Calvin Klein North America segments, which included a negative impact of 1% related to foreign currency translation. Calvin Klein International segment revenue decreased 40% (including a 2% negative foreign currency impact). Revenue in our Calvin Klein North America segment decreased 54%.

•The reduction of an aggregate $194 million of revenue, or a 47% decrease compared to the prior year period, attributable to our Heritage Brands Retail and Heritage Brands Wholesale segments.

Our revenue in the first quarter of 2020 reflected a 47% increase in sales through our directly operated digital commerce businesses driven by strong growth across all regions, which partially offset the decline in revenue through our other distribution channels.

There is significant uncertainty with respect to the impact for 2020 of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and the

businesses of our licensees and other business partners. We currently expect that revenue will decrease significantly in the second quarter and full year 2020 compared to 2019, inclusive of a negative impact related to foreign currency translation, primarily due to the negative impacts to our businesses caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Revenue for the full year 2020 is also expected to decrease by approximately $200 million due to the aggregate net effect of reductions resulting from (i) the Speedo transaction, which closed on April 6, 2020, and (ii) the G-III license, which commenced in 2019, partially offset by an addition of revenue resulting from (iii) the Australia and TH CSAP acquisitions, which closed in the second quarter of 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 2020 was $666 million, or 49.5% of total revenue, as compared to $1.296 billion, or 55.0% of total revenue, in the first quarter of the prior year. The 550 basis point gross margin decrease was primarily driven by (i) additional inventory reserves recorded as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and (ii) the unfavorable impact of the stronger

United States dollar on our international businesses that purchase inventory in United States dollars, particularly our European businesses, as the increased local currency value of inventory resulted in higher cost of goods in local currency when the goods were sold.

There is significant uncertainty with respect to the impact for 2020 of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and the businesses of our licensees and other business partners. We currently expect that gross margin for the full year 2020 will decrease as compared to 2019 primarily due to (i) the need for increased promotional selling, inventory liquidation and additional inventory reserves as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and (ii) the unfavorable impact of the stronger United States dollar on our international businesses that purchase inventory in United States dollars, particularly our European businesses, as the increased local currency value of inventory results in higher cost of goods in local currency when the goods are sold.

SG&A Expenses

SG&A expenses in the first quarter of 2020 were $940 million, or 70.0% of total revenue, as compared to $1.161 billion, or 49.3% of total revenue, in the first quarter of the prior year. The significant increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenue was principally attributable to (i) the deleveraging of expenses driven by the significant decline in revenue resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, including as a result of payroll costs incurred for certain retail associates who received full pay and benefits for certain periods while our retail stores were temporarily closed, (ii) the pre-tax noncash impairments of our store assets resulting from the impact of the pandemic on our business and (iii) additional accounts receivable reserves recorded as a result of the pandemic. These increases were partially offset by (i) a reduction in expenses as a result of the cost savings initiatives we implemented in April 2020, including temporary furloughs, salary and incentive compensation reductions, government relief and lower discretionary spending, and (ii) the absence in 2020 of costs that were recorded in the first quarter of 2019 in connection with the Calvin Klein restructuring and the TH U.S. store closures.

In light of the negative impacts on our business resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, we are taking measures to significantly reduce SG&A expenses in 2020, including the cost savings initiatives we implemented in April 2020. As such, we currently expect our SG&A expenses for the full year 2020 will be significantly lower as compared to 2019, including as a result of the reduction in expenses resulting from these measures and the absence in 2020 of costs related to (i) the Calvin Klein restructuring, (ii) the Socks and Hosiery transaction and (iii) the TH U.S. store closures. However, we expect our SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenue for the full year 2020 will significantly increase as compared to 2019 primarily due to (i) a deleveraging of expenses driven by the expected decline in revenue resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, (ii) the pre-tax noncash impairments of our store assets resulting from the impact of the pandemic on our business, and (iii) the additional accounts receivable reserves recorded as a result of the pandemic. There is significant uncertainty with respect to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and our SG&A expenses may be subject to significant material change.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Impairment

We recorded pre-tax noncash impairment charges of $933 million in the first quarter of 2020 resulting from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, including $879 million related to goodwill and $54 million related to other intangible assets, primarily our ARROW and Geoffrey Beene tradenames. The impairments resulted from interim impairment assessments of our goodwill and other intangible assets, which we were required to perform in the first quarter of 2020 due to the adverse impact of the pandemic on our current and estimated future business results and cash flows, as well as the significant decrease in our market capitalization as a result of a sustained decline in our common stock price. Please see Note 7, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.

Non-Service Related Pension and Postretirement Income

Non-service related pension and postretirement income in the first quarter of 2020 was $4 million as compared to $2 million in the first quarter of the prior year.

We currently expect that non-service related pension and postretirement income for the full year 2020 will be approximately $16 million compared to non-service related pension and postretirement (cost) of $(90) million in 2019. Our 2019 non-service related pension and postretirement (cost) included a $98 million actuarial loss on our retirement plans recorded in the fourth quarter. 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 expectation of 2020 non-

service related pension and post-retirement income does not include the impact of an actuarial gain or loss. However, if recent market volatility due, in part, to the COVID-19 pandemic continues, we may incur a significant actuarial loss in 2020 as a result of the difference between actual and expected returns on plan assets or if there is a decline in discount rates. Our actual 2020 non-service related pension and postretirement income (cost) may be significantly different than our projections.

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.

Other Noncash Loss. net

We recorded a net pre-tax noncash loss of $3 million in the first quarter of 2020 in connection with the Speedo transaction. Please see Note 4, “Acquisitions and Divestitures,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.

Equity in Net (Loss) Income of Unconsolidated Affiliates

The equity in net (loss) income of unconsolidated affiliates was an $(11) million loss in the first quarter of 2020 as compared to $4 million of income in the first quarter of the prior year. These amounts relate to our share of (loss) income from 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, our joint venture for the CALVIN KLEIN brand in India, our PVH Legwear joint venture for the TOMMY HILFIGER, CALVIN KLEIN, IZOD, Van Heusen and Warner’s brands and other owned and licensed trademarks in the United States and Canada that began operations in December 2019, and PVH Australia (prior to acquiring it on May 31, 2019 through the Australia acquisition). Also included is our share of income (loss) from our investments in Karl Lagerfeld Holding B.V. (“Karl Lagerfeld”) and in Gazal (prior to acquiring it on May 31, 2019 through the Australia acquisition). The equity in net (loss) income for the first quarter of 2020 decreased as compared to 2019 primarily due to (i) a $12 million pre-tax noncash impairment of our investment in Karl Lagerfeld recorded in the first quarter of 2020 resulting from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business and (ii) the absence in 2020 of income recognized in the first quarter of 2019 on our investments in Gazal and PVH Australia, prior to the closing of the Australia acquisition. Our investments in the continuing joint ventures and Karl Lagerfeld are being accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Subsequent to the closing of the Australia acquisition, we began to consolidate the operations of Gazal and PVH Australia into our financial statements. 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 2020 will decrease as compared to 2019 primarily due to (i) the impairment of our investment in Karl Lagerfeld recorded in the first quarter of 2020, (ii) a reduction in income on our investments due to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our unconsolidated affiliates’ businesses in 2020, partially offset by (iii) an increase in income on our investment in PVH Legwear as compared to 2019, as we recognize a full year of income in 2020.

Interest Expense, Net

Net interest expense decreased to $21 million in the first quarter of 2020 from $30 million in the first quarter of the prior year, primarily due to lower interest rates on our senior unsecured credit facilities as compared to the prior year period and a gain of $4 million resulting from the remeasurement of our mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest that was recognized in connection with the Australia acquisition.

We currently expect that net interest expense for the full year 2020 will increase as compared to 2019 primarily due (i) to the issuance in April 2020 of an additional €175 million euro-denominated principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due 2024 and (ii) an anticipated increase in borrowings outstanding under our senior unsecured revolving credit facilities, other short-term revolving credit facilities and unsecured commercial paper note program throughout 2020 as a result of the impacts of COVID-19 on our business, including significant reductions in our earnings and cash flows from operations.

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2020 was 11.5% compared to 22.4% in the first quarter of the prior year. The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2020 reflected a $(142) million income tax benefit recorded on $(1.240) billion of pre-tax losses. The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2019 reflected a $24 million income tax expense recorded on $105 million of pre-tax income.

Our effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2020 was lower than the United States statutory income tax rate primarily due to the impact of the $879 million of pre-tax goodwill impairment charges, which were mostly non-deductible for tax purposes and resulted in a 10.2% decrease in our effective income tax rate. The pre-tax goodwill impairment charges were factored into our annualized effective income tax rate and, as such, will have a corresponding impact on our quarterly effective income tax rates for the remainder of 2020.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, local governments enacted, or are in the process of enacting, measures to provide aid and economic stimulus to companies. On March 27, 2020, the United States government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which includes various income tax provisions aimed at providing economic relief. We currently expect a slight favorable cash flow impact in 2020 as a result of the deferral of income tax payments under the CARES Act and other local government relief initiatives. We also considered the significant adverse impact of COVID-19 on our business in assessing the realizability of our deferred tax assets. Based on this assessment, we determined that no additional valuation allowances were needed against our deferred tax assets, however we will continue to monitor the impacts of COVID-19 on our ability to realize our deferred tax assets.

We file income tax returns in more than 40 international jurisdictions each year. A substantial amount of our earnings are in international jurisdictions, particularly 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.

Given the significant uncertainty with respect to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and results of operations, we have not provided an estimate of our effective income tax rate for the full year 2020.

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 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 2020 and 2019. 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

Liquidity Update

The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and is expected to continue to have, a significant adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows in 2020. While there is significant uncertainty about the duration and extent of the impact of the pandemic, we expect there will be a significant negative impact to our cash flows in 2020, resulting from a loss of revenue and earnings. Given the unprecedented impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, we have taken the following actions to preserve liquidity and strengthen our financial flexibility:

•Suspended share repurchases under the stock repurchase program in mid-March, following $111 million in repurchases completed in the first quarter.

•Suspended our cash dividend beginning with the second quarter. Our first quarter cash dividend of $0.0375 per common share was paid on March 31, 2020.

•Entered into a new $275 million 364-day revolving credit facility.

•Issued an additional €175 million euro-denominated principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due 2024.

•Obtained a waiver in June 2020 of the leverage and interest coverage ratios under our senior unsecured credit facilities (referred to as the “June 2020 Amendment”).

•Focused management of our working capital, with particular focus on tightly managing inventories, including reducing and cancelling inventory commitments, redeploying basic inventory items to subsequent seasons and consolidating future seasonal collections, as well as negotiating extended payment terms with our suppliers.

In addition, we closed the sale of our Speedo North America business to Pentland for net proceeds of $169 million, subject to a final adjustment based on the terms of the agreement.

We ended the first quarter of 2020 with $801 million of cash on hand and approximately $1 billion of borrowing capacity available under our various debt facilities. We believe that we have taken appropriate actions to manage through the uncertainty related to COVID-19 and are continuously reevaluating all aspects of our spending and cash flow generation as the situation evolves.

Cash Flow Summary

Cash and cash equivalents at May 3, 2020 was $801 million, an increase of $297 million from the amount at February 2, 2020 of $503 million. The change in cash and cash equivalents included the impact of (i) $111 million of common stock repurchases under the stock repurchase program (with no further repurchases for the remainder of 2020), (ii) $169 million of net proceeds in connection with the Speedo transaction and (iii) $187 million of proceeds from the issuance of an additional €175M euro-denominated principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due 2024.

Cash flow for the full year 2020 will be impacted by various factors in addition to those noted above and below in this “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section. Given the dynamic nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, our estimates of cash flows in 2020 may be subject to material significant change, including as a result of the impact of the pandemic on our 2020 earnings, additional borrowings under existing or new financing arrangements, excess inventories, delays in collection of, or inability to collect on, certain trade receivables, and other working capital changes that we may experience as a result of the pandemic.

As of May 3, 2020, approximately $511 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 $143 million in the first quarter of 2020 compared to $73 million in the first quarter of 2019. The increase in cash used by operating activities as compared to the prior year period was primarily driven by a significant decrease in net income as adjusted for noncash charges, partially offset by a favorable change in our working capital primarily due to trade receivables. Our cash flows from operations in the first quarter of 2020 was significantly impacted by widespread temporary store closures and other significant adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. In an effort to mitigate the impacts of the pandemic and preserve liquidity, we are focused on working capital management, in particular tightly managing inventories, including reducing and cancelling inventory commitments, redeploying basic inventory items to subsequent seasons and consolidating future seasonal collections, as well as negotiating extended payment terms with our suppliers.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2020 were $56 million compared to $77 million in the first quarter of 2019. We currently expect capital expenditures for the full year 2020 will decrease to approximately $190 million from $345 million in 2019, as we tightly manage spending to preserve liquidity in response to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, and will include only certain minimum required expenditures in our retail stores and expenditures for projects currently in progress, primarily related to (i) investments to support the multi-year upgrade of our platforms and systems worldwide and (ii) enhancements to our warehouse and distribution network.

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

We currently expect to make a payment of approximately $2 million in the full year 2020 to our PVH Legwear joint venture to contribute our share of the joint venture funding.

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 during the first quarter of 2019. The outstanding balance, including accrued interest, was $13 million as of May 3, 2020, February 2, 2020 and May 5, 2019.

Speedo Transaction

We completed the sale of our Speedo North America business to Pentland on April 6, 2020 for net proceeds of $169 million. Please see Note 4, “Acquisitions and Divestitures,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.

Dividends

Dividends on common stock totaled $3 million in the first quarter of 2020 as compared to $6 million in the first quarter of 2019.

Following the payment of a $0.0375 per common share dividend on March 31, 2020, we suspended our dividends, which have historically paid annual dividends of $0.15 per share of our common stock, in order to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in response to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. In addition, under the terms of the June 2020 Amendment, dividend payments are not permitted during the relief period (as defined). Please see the section entitled “2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities” below for further discussion.

Acquisition of Treasury Shares

Our Board of Directors has authorized over time since 2015 an aggregate $2.0 billion stock repurchase program through June 3, 2023. 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.

We suspended share repurchases under the stock repurchase program beginning in mid-March 2020 in order to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in response to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. In addition, under the terms of the June 2020 Amendment, share repurchases are not permitted during the relief period (as defined). Please see the section entitled “2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities” below for further discussion. The existing stock repurchase program remains authorized by the Board of Directors and we may resume share repurchases after the restrictions under the June 2020 Amendment lapse.

Repurchases under the program, when it is being used, 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.

During the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, we purchased approximately 1.4 million shares and 500,000 shares, respectively, of our common stock under the program in open market transactions for $111 million and $61 million, respectively. Purchases of $2 million were accrued for in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of May 5, 2019. Purchases of $500,000 that were accrued for in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 2, 2020 were paid in the first quarter of 2020. As of May 3, 2020, the repurchased shares were held as treasury stock and $573 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 restricted stock units and performance share units to satisfy tax withholding requirements.

Mandatorily Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest

The Australia acquisition agreement provided for key members of Gazal and PVH Australia management to exchange a portion of their interests in Gazal for approximately 6% of the outstanding shares in our previously wholly owned subsidiary that acquired 100% of the ownership interests in the Australia business. We are obligated to purchase this 6% interest within two years of the acquisition closing in two tranches as follows: tranche 1 – 50% of the shares one year after the closing, but the holders had the option to defer half of this tranche to tranche 2; and tranche 2 – all remaining shares two years after the closing. With respect to tranche 1, the holders elected not to defer their shares to tranche 2 and, as a result, we purchased all of the tranche 1 shares in June 2020. The purchase price for the tranche 1 and tranche 2 shares is based on a multiple of the subsidiary’s adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) less net debt as of the end of the measurement year, and the multiple varies depending on the level of EBITDA compared to a target. The liability for the mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest was $29 million as of May 3, 2020 based on exchange rates in effect on that date, of which $16 million was paid to the management shareholders in June 2020 for the purchase of the tranche 1 shares. Please see Note 4, “Acquisitions and Divestitures,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.

Financing Arrangements

Our capital structure was as follows:


(In millions)	5/3/20		2/2/20		5/5/19
Short-term borrowings	$	322	$	50	$	300

Current portion of long-term debt	14		14		31
Finance lease obligations	15		15		16
Long-term debt	2,854		2,694		2,759
Stockholders’ equity	4,513		5,811		5,762

Short-Term Borrowings

We have the ability to draw revolving borrowings under the senior unsecured credit facilities discussed below in the section entitled “2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities.” We had $168 million outstanding under these facilities as of May 3, 2020. The weighted average interest rate on funds borrowed as of May 3, 2020 was 1.93%. The maximum amount of revolving borrowings outstanding under these facilities during the first quarter of 2020 was $746 million.

We also have the ability to draw revolving borrowings under our new 364-day unsecured revolving credit facility, as discussed in the section entitled “2020 Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility” below. We had no borrowings outstanding under this facility as of or during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020.

Additionally, we have the ability 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 $174 million based on exchange rates in effect on May 3, 2020 and are utilized primarily to fund working capital needs. We had $74 million outstanding under these facilities as of May 3, 2020. The weighted average interest rate on funds borrowed as of May 3, 2020 was 1.94%. The maximum amount of borrowings outstanding under these facilities during the first quarter of 2020 was $74 million.

Commercial Paper

We have the ability to issue, from time to time, unsecured commercial paper notes with maturities that vary but do not exceed 397 days from the date of issuance primarily to fund working capital needs. We had $80 million of borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper note program as of May 3, 2020, all of which matured in May 2020. The weighted average interest rate on funds borrowed under the program as of May 3, 2020 was 2.05%. The maximum amount of borrowings outstanding under the program during the first quarter of 2020 was $165 million.

The commercial paper program allows for borrowings of up to $675 million to the extent that we have borrowing capacity under the United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility included in the 2019 facilities (as defined below). Accordingly, the combined aggregate amount of (i) borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper note program and (ii) the revolving borrowings outstanding under the United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility at any one time cannot exceed $675 million. The maximum aggregate amount of borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper program

and the United States dollar-denominated portion of the revolving credit facility during the first quarter of 2020 was $660 million.

2020 Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

On April 8, 2020, we entered into a 364-day $275 million United States dollar-denominated unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2020 facility”). We may increase the commitment under the 2020 facility by an aggregate amount not to exceed $100 million, subject to certain customary conditions. The 2020 facility will mature on April 7, 2021. We paid $2 million of debt issuance costs during the first quarter of 2020 in connection with the 2020 facility.

Currently, our obligations under the 2020 facility are unsecured and are not guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries. However, within 120 days after the occurrence of a specified credit ratings decrease (as set forth in the 2020 facility), (i) we must cause each of our wholly owned United States subsidiaries (subject to certain customary exceptions) to become a guarantor under the 2020 facility and (ii) we and each subsidiary guarantor will be required to grant liens, as collateral agent, on substantially all of our respective assets (subject to customary exceptions).

The outstanding borrowings under the 2020 facility are prepayable at any time without penalty (other than customary breakage costs). The borrowings under the 2020 facility bear an interest 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 2020 facility.

The initial applicable margin with respect to the borrowings will be 2.250% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 1.250% for base rate loans. The applicable margin for borrowings will be adjusted based upon our public debt rating after the date of delivery of notice of a change in our public debt rating by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s.

We had no borrowings outstanding under the 2020 facility during the first quarter of 2020.

The 2020 facility requires us to comply with customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including minimum interest coverage ratio and maximum net leverage ratio, which are subject to change in the event that, and in the same manner as, the minimum interest coverage ratio and maximum net leverage ratio covenants under the 2019 facilities are amended. Refer to the section entitled “2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities” below for discussion of an amendment to the 2019 facilities in June 2020.

Finance Lease Liabilities

Our cash payments for finance lease liabilities totaled $1 million in each of the first quarters of 2020 and 2019.

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 paid 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.

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 and have a portion 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 $1.558 billion, net of debt issuance costs and based on applicable exchange rates, under the TLA facilities, $168 million of borrowings outstanding under the senior unsecured revolving credit facilities and $24 million of outstanding letters of credit under the senior unsecured revolving credit facilities as of May 3, 2020.

The terms of the TLA facilities require us to make quarterly repayments of amounts outstanding under the 2019 facilities, which commenced with the calendar quarter ended 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 payments of $3 million on our term loans under the 2019 facilities during the first quarter of 2020, and we expect to make mandatory long-term debt repayments of approximately $14 million during the full year 2020. We made no payments on our term loans under the 2019 facilities and the 2016 facilities during the first quarter of 2019 other than the repayment of the 2016 facilities in connection with the refinancing of the 2016 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 applicable margin with respect to the TLA facilities and each revolving credit facility as of May 3, 2020 was 1.250% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 0.250% 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 2020 and/or the first quarter of 2019:


(In millions)
Designation Date	Commencement Date	Initial Notional Amount		Notional Amount Outstanding as of May 3, 2020		Fixed Rate	Expiration Date
March 2020	February 2021	$	50	$	—	0.562%	February 2023
February 2020	February 2021	50		—		1.1625%	February 2023
February 2020	February 2020	50		50		1.2575%	February 2023
August 2019	February 2020	50		50		1.1975%	February 2022
June 2019	February 2020	50		50		1.409%	February 2022
June 2019	June 2019	50		50		1.719%	July 2021
January 2019	February 2020	50		50		2.4187%	February 2021
November 2018	February 2019	139		127		2.8645%	February 2021
October 2018	February 2019	116		160		2.9975%	February 2021
June 2018	August 2018	50		50		2.6825%	February 2021
June 2017	February 2018	306		—		1.566%	February 2020

The notional amounts of the outstanding interest rate swaps that commenced in 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.

Our 2019 facilities require us to comply with customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum net leverage ratio. As of May 3, 2020, we were in compliance with all applicable financial and non-financial covenants under these facilities. Given the disruption to our business caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and to ensure financial flexibility, we entered into the “June 2020 Amendment” to provide temporary relief of certain financial covenants until the date on which a compliance certificate is delivered for the second quarter of 2021 (the “relief period”) unless we elect to terminate the relief period and satisfy the conditions for doing so. The June 2020 Amendment provides for the following during the relief period, among other things: (i) suspension of compliance with the maximum net leverage ratio through and including the first quarter of 2021, (ii) suspension of the minimum interest coverage ratio through and including the first quarter of 2021, (iii) addition of a minimum liquidity covenant of $400 million, (iv) addition of a restricted payment covenant and (v) imposition of stricter limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness and liens. The limitation on restricted payments require that we suspend payments of dividends on our common stock and purchases of shares under our stock repurchase program during the relief period. The June 2020 Amendment also provides that during the relief period the applicable margin will be increased 0.25%. In addition, under the June 2020 Amendment, in the event there is a specified credit ratings downgrade by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s during the relief period (as set forth in the June 2020 Amendment), within 120 days thereafter (i) we must cause each of our wholly owned United States subsidiaries (subject to certain customary exceptions) to become a guarantor under our 2019 facilities and (ii) we and each subsidiary guarantor will be required to grant liens, as collateral agent, on substantially all of our respective assets (subject to customary exceptions).

We expect to maintain compliance with the financial covenants (as amended) under our 2019 facilities for at least the next 12 months based on our current forecasts. If the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business worsen and our earnings and operating cash flows do not start to recover as currently estimated by us, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain compliance with our financial covenants (as amended) in the future. There can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain future waivers in a timely manner, on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we were not able to maintain compliance or obtain a future covenant waiver under our credit facilities, there can be no assurance that we would be able to raise sufficient debt or equity capital, or divest assets, to refinance or repay such facilities.

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 €525.0 million euro-denominated principal amount of 3 5/8% senior notes due July 15, 2024, of which €175.0 million principal amount was issued on April 24, 2020. Interest on the notes is payable in euros. We paid €2 million (approximately $2 million based on exchange rates in effect on the payment date) of fees during the first quarter of 2020 in connection with the issuance of the additional €175 million notes. 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 3, 2020, we were in compliance with all applicable financial and non-financial covenants under our financing arrangements.

As of May 3, 2020, our issuer credit was rated BBB- by Standard & Poor’s with a negative outlook and our corporate credit was rated Baa3 by Moody’s with a stable outlook, and our commercial paper was rated A-3 by Standard & Poor’s and P-3 by Moody’s. In assessing our credit strength, we believe that both Standard & Poor’s and 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 2020 through 2025.

Please see Note 9, “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 2, 2020 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 2, 2020.

Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets Impairment Testing

We assess the recoverability of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets annually, at the beginning of the third quarter of each fiscal year, and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that it is more likely than not that the carrying amount may be impaired. Impairment testing for goodwill is done at the reporting unit level. Impairment testing for other indefinite-lived intangible assets is done at the individual asset level. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful life and are tested for impairment, along with other long-lived assets, when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. Indefinite-lived intangible assets and intangible assets with finite lives are tested for impairment prior to assessing the recoverability of goodwill.

Goodwill

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant adverse impact on our business during the first quarter of 2020, resulting in an unprecedented decline in revenue and earnings, and is driving an extended decline in our stock price and associated market capitalization. While there is significant uncertainty about the duration and extent of the impact of the pandemic, we expect there will be a significant negative impact to our future earnings and cash flows. We determined that the impact of COVID-19 was a triggering event that required us to perform a quantitative interim goodwill impairment test.

As a result of this interim test, we recorded $879 million of noncash impairment charges during the first quarter of 2020, which was included in goodwill and other intangible assets impairments in our Consolidated Statement of Operations. The impairment charges, which related to the Heritage Wholesale North America, Calvin Klein Retail North America, Calvin Klein Wholesale

North America, Calvin Klein Licensing and Advertising International, and Calvin Klein International reporting units, were recorded to our segments as follows: $198 million in the Heritage Brands Wholesale segment, $287 million in the Calvin Klein North America segment, and $394 million in the Calvin Klein International segment. Our impairment assessment was performed in accordance with the accounting guidance adopted in the first quarter of 2020 that simplifies the testing for goodwill impairment, as discussed in Note 20, “Recent Accounting Guidance.”

Of these reporting units, Calvin Klein Wholesale North America, Calvin Klein Licensing and Advertising International, and Calvin Klein International were determined to be only partially impaired. The remaining carrying amount of goodwill allocated to these reporting units as of May 3, 2020 was $162 million, $143 million and $347 million, respectively. Holding all other assumptions constant, a 100 basis point change in the annual revenue growth rate assumptions for these businesses would result in a change to the estimated fair value of the reporting units of approximately $80 million, $20 million and $140 million, respectively. Likewise, a 100 basis point change in the weighted average cost of capital would result in a change to the estimated fair value of the reporting units of approximately $60 million, $15 million and $125 million, respectively. While these reporting units were not determined to be fully impaired, they may be at risk of further impairment in the future in the event the related businesses do not perform as projected, including if they fail to recover as planned following the COVID-19 pandemic, or if market factors utilized in the impairment analysis deteriorate, including an unfavorable change in long-term growth rates or the weighted average cost of capital.

With respect to our other reporting units that were not determined to be impaired, the Tommy Hilfiger International reporting unit had an estimated fair value that exceeded its carrying amount of $2,949 million by 5%. The carrying amount of goodwill allocated to this reporting unit as of May 3, 2020 was $1,558 million. Holding all other assumptions constant, a 100 basis point change in the annual revenue growth rate of the Tommy Hilfiger International business would result in a change to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit of approximately $355 million. Likewise, a 100 basis point change in the weighted average cost of capital would result in a change to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit of approximately $320 million. While the Tommy Hilfiger International reporting unit was not determined to be impaired, it may be at risk of future impairment in the event the related business does not perform as projected, including if it fails to recover as planned following the COVID-19 pandemic, or if market factors utilized in the impairment analysis deteriorate, including an unfavorable change in the long-term growth rate or the weighted average cost of capital.

The fair value of the reporting units for goodwill impairment testing was determined using an income approach and validated using a market approach. The income approach was based on discounted projected future (debt-free) cash flows for each reporting unit. The discount rates applied to these cash flows were based on the weighted average cost of capital for each reporting unit, which takes market participant assumptions into consideration. Estimated future operating cash flows were discounted at rates of 10%, 10.5% or 11%, depending on the reporting unit, to account for the relative risks of the estimated future cash flows. For the market approach, used to validate the results of the income approach method, we used both the guideline company and similar transaction methods. The guideline company method analyzes market multiples of revenue and EBITDA for a group of comparable public companies. The market multiples used in the valuation are based on the relative strengths and weaknesses of the reporting unit compared to the selected guideline companies. Under the similar transactions method, valuation multiples are calculated utilizing actual transaction prices and revenue and EBITDA data from target companies deemed similar to the reporting unit. We classified the fair values of our reporting units as Level 3 fair value measurements due to the use of significant unobservable inputs.

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

We also determined that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business was a triggering event that prompted the need to perform interim impairment testing of our indefinite-lived intangible assets. For the TOMMY HILFIGER, CALVIN KLEIN, Van Heusen, Warner’s and Olga tradenames and the reacquired perpetual license rights for TOMMY HILFIGER in India, we elected to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of any asset was less than its carrying amount. For these assets, no impairment was identified as a result of our annual indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test for 2019 and the fair values of these indefinite-lived intangible assets substantially exceeded their carrying amounts. The asset with the least excess fair value had an estimated fair value that exceeded its carrying amount by approximately 85% as of the date of our 2019 annual test. Considering this and other factors, we determined qualitatively that it was not more likely than not that the fair values of these indefinite-lived intangible assets were less than their carrying amounts and concluded that the quantitative impairment test was not required.

For the ARROW and Geoffrey Beene tradenames and the reacquired perpetual license rights recorded in connection with the Australia acquisition, we elected to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceeded directly to the quantitative impairment test. As a result of this quantitative interim impairment testing, we recorded $47 million of noncash impairment charges during the first quarter of 2020 to write down the two tradenames. This included $36 million to write down the ARROW tradename, that

had a carrying amount of $79 million, to a fair value of $43 million, and $12 million to write down the Geoffrey Beene tradename, that had a carrying amount of $17 million, to a fair value of $5 million. The $47 million of impairment charges was included in goodwill and other intangible assets impairments in our Consolidated Statement of Operations and allocated to our Heritage Brands Wholesale segment. Holding all other assumptions constant, a 100 basis point change in the annual revenue growth rate of the Arrow business would result in a change to the estimated fair value of the tradename of approximately $5 million. Likewise, a 100 basis point change in the weighted average cost of capital would result in a change to the estimated fair value of the tradename of approximately $5 million. Holding all other assumptions constant, a 100 basis points change to the annual revenue growth rate or weighted average cost of capital in the Geoffrey Beene business would result in an immaterial change to the estimated fair value of the tradename.

With regard to the reacquired perpetual license rights recorded in connection with the Australia acquisition, we determined that its fair value substantially exceeded its carrying amount and, therefore, the asset was not impaired.

The fair value of the ARROW and Geoffrey Beene tradenames was determined using an income-based relief-from-royalty method. Under this method, the value of an asset is estimated based on the hypothetical cost savings that accrue as a result of not having to license the tradename from another party. These cash flows are discounted to present value using a discount rate that factors in the relative risk of the intangible asset. We discounted the cash flows used to value the ARROW and Geoffrey Beene tradenames at a rate of 10%. The fair value of our reacquired perpetual license rights recorded in connection with the Australia acquisition was determined using an income approach which estimates the net cash flows directly attributable to the subject intangible asset. These cash flows are discounted to present value using a discount rate that factors in the relative risk of the intangible asset. We discounted the cash flows used to value the reacquired perpetual license rights recorded in connection with the Australia acquisition at a rate of 10%. We classified the fair values of these indefinite-lived intangible assets as Level 3 fair value measurements due to the use of significant unobservable inputs.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

We adopted, effective the first quarter of 2020, accounting guidance related to credit losses, that introduces a new impairment model used to measure credit losses for certain financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade and other receivables. This guidance requires entities to record an allowance for credit losses using a forward-looking expected loss impairment model that considers historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectibility, rather than the incurred loss model required under previous guidance. We also adopted, effective the first quarter of 2020, accounting guidance related to goodwill impairment, which eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure the amount of the goodwill impairment charge, if any, under the second step of the goodwill impairment test. Please see Note 20, “Recent Accounting Guidance,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for further discussion.

During the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020, 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 2, 2020, except for the items mentioned above.

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Financial instruments held by us as of May 3, 2020 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 3, 2020. 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 3, 2020, the effect of a 10 basis point change in short-term interest rates on our interest income would be approximately $800,000 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 3, 2020, after taking into account the effect of our interest rate swap agreements that were in effect as of such date, approximately 65% 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 3, 2020, the effect of a 10 basis point change in interest rates on our variable interest expense would be approximately $500,000 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.

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 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 Australian dollar, the Canadian dollar and the Chinese yuan renminbi, and favorably impacted during times of a weakening United States dollar against those currencies. Our results of operations will be similarly affected by foreign currency translation in periods that we generate net income; however, in periods that we generate net losses, as is currently expected in 2020, our results of operations will be favorably impacted during times of a strengthening United States dollar against the foreign currencies in which we generate losses and unfavorably impacted during times of a weakening United States dollar against those currencies.

We currently expect foreign currency translation to have a slight negative impact on our revenue in 2020 as compared to 2019.

In the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020, we recognized unfavorable foreign currency translation adjustments of $113 million within other comprehensive (loss) income principally driven by a strengthening of the United States dollar against the euro of 2% since February 2, 2020. 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 36% of our $6.1 billion total goodwill and other intangible assets as of May 3, 2020. 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. 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.

We currently expect a negative transactional impact on our net income in 2020 as compared to 2019.

Given our foreign currency forward exchange contracts outstanding at May 3, 2020, 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 approximately $95 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 €1.125 billion aggregate principal amount of euro-denominated senior notes issued by PVH Corp., a U.S.-based entity, 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 $120 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 strengthening United States dollar against the euro, we would be required to use a lower amount of our cash flows from operations to pay interest and make long-term debt repayments on our euro-denominated senior notes, whereas 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 these 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 2020 net benefit cost related to the pension plans of approximately $7 million. Likewise, a 0.25% change in the assumed discount rate would result in a change to 2020 net benefit cost of approximately $45 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.

There have been no 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.

We are currently undertaking a major multi-year SAP S/4 implementation to upgrade our platforms and systems worldwide. The implementation will occur in phases over the next several years. We successfully launched the Global Finance functionality on the SAP S/4 platform in Asia and North America in the first quarter of 2020.

As a result of this multi-year implementation, we expect certain changes to our processes and procedures, which in turn, could result in changes to our internal control over financial reporting. While we expect this implementation to strengthen our internal controls over financial reporting by automating certain manual processes and standardizing business processes and reporting across our organization, we will continue to evaluate and monitor our internal controls over financial reporting as processes and procedures in the affected areas evolve. For a discussion of risks related to the implementation of new systems and hardware, please refer to risk factor “We rely significantly on information technology. Our business and reputation could be adversely impacted if our computer systems, or systems of our business partners and service providers, are disrupted or cease to operate effectively or if we or they are subject to a data security or privacy breach” in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 2, 2020.

⁽¹⁾Our Board of Directors has authorized over time since 2015 an aggregate $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 Directors, including to increase or decrease the repurchase limitation or extend, suspend, or terminate the program, at any time, without prior notice. We suspended share repurchases under the stock repurchase program beginning in mid-March 2020 in order to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in response to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. In addition, under the terms of the June 2020 Amendment, share repurchases are not permitted through and including the first quarter of 2021. The existing stock repurchase program remains authorized by the Board of Directors and we may resume share repurchases after the restrictions under the June 2020 Amendment lapse.

⁽²⁾Our 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 2020 in connection with the settlement of restricted stock units to satisfy tax withholding requirements, in addition to the shares repurchased as part of the stock repurchase program discussed above.

terms of this Agreement, (i) the Borrower shall provide prompt notice of such change to the Administrative Agent and (ii) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent may request that such calculations continue to be made in accordance with GAAP without giving effect to such change (in which case the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree to negotiate in good faith to amend the provisions hereof to eliminate the effect of such change in GAAP, but until such amendment is entered into, the calculations shall be made in accordance with GAAP without giving effect to such change).

The use herein of the word “include” or “including”, when following any general statement, term or matter, shall not be construed to limit such statement, term or matter to the specific items or matters set forth immediately following such word or to similar items or matters, whether or not non-limiting language (such as “without limitation” or “but not limited to” or words of similar import) is used with reference thereto, but rather shall be deemed to refer to all other items or matters that fall within the broadest possible scope of such general statement, term or matter. The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall”; and the words “asset” and “property” shall be construed as having the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties, including cash, securities, accounts and contract rights.

Each Lender’s Revolving Commitments shall expire on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date and all Revolving Loans extended with respect to such Revolving Commitments and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Revolving Loans and the Revolving Commitments shall be paid in full no later than such date.

(b) [Reserved].

i.(x) Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans shall be made in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount, and Revolving Loans that are Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount.

ii.Whenever the Borrower desires that Lenders make Revolving Loans to it, it shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a fully executed Borrowing Notice no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) (x) at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed Credit Date in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan and (y) at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed Credit Date in the case of a Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan.

iii.Notice of receipt of each Borrowing Notice in respect of Revolving Loans, together with the amount of each Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof, if any, together with the applicable interest rate, shall be provided by the Administrative Agent to each applicable Lender by telefacsimile with reasonable promptness, but (provided the Administrative Agent shall have received such notice by 11:00 a.m. (New York City time)) not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the same day as the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such Notice from the Borrower. Each Lender shall make the amount of its Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the applicable Credit Date by wire transfer of same day funds in Dollars, at the Principal Office designated by the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.03 [Reserved].

Section 2.04 [Reserved].

Section 2.05 Pro Rata Shares; Availability of Funds; Affiliates.

(a) Pro Rata Shares. All Loans shall be made by Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, 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 nor shall 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.

(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 Borrower 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 at the Base Rate. 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 and the 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. Nothing in this Section 2.05(b) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Revolving Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower 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 Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that 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 Revolving Loans shall be applied by the Borrower for working capital or other general corporate purposes of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. No portion of the proceeds of any Credit Extension shall be used in any manner that causes or might cause such Credit Extension or the application of such proceeds to violate Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board of Governors or any other regulation thereof or to violate the Exchange Act.

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 the 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 Borrower 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 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 the Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest error. The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as the Borrower’s agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.07, and the 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 (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at least five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, or at any time thereafter, the 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 the Borrower’s receipt of such notice) a Note or Notes to evidence such Lender’s Revolving Loans.

Section 2.08 Interest on Loans.

(a) Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Loans shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof as follows:

(i) if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; or

(ii) if a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, at the Eurocurrency Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) The Type of Loan and the Interest Period with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be selected by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent and Lenders pursuant to the applicable Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be. 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 shall be a Base Rate Loan.

(c) In connection with Eurocurrency Rate Loans there shall be no more than 10 Interest Periods outstanding at any time. In the event the Borrower fails to specify between a Base Rate Loan or a Eurocurrency Rate Loan in the applicable Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice for any Loan , such Loan (if outstanding as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan) shall be automatically converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then-current Interest Period for such Loan (or if outstanding as a Base Rate Loan shall remain as, or (if not then outstanding) shall be made as, a Base Rate Loan). In the event the Borrower fails to specify an Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Rate Loan in the applicable Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month. As soon as practicable after 11:00 a.m. (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 and each Lender.

(d) Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.08(a) shall be computed (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans, on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as the case may be and (ii) in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, 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 Base Rate Loan being converted from a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan to such Base Rate Loan, 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 being converted to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Base 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, 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.

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 Borrower shall have the option:

(i) to convert at any time all or any part of any Revolving Loan 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 Borrower shall pay all amounts due under Section 2.18 in connection with any such conversion; or

(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 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), 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). 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 the Borrower shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith.

Section 2.10 Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), 8.01(c) (in the case of a failure to perform or comply with any term or condition contained in Section 6.04(a) or 6.04(b)), or 8.01(e), and, at the request of the Required Lenders, any other Event of Default, the principal amount of all Loans outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the Loans or any fees or other amounts owed hereunder, shall thereafter bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws) payable on demand at a rate (the “Default Rate”) that is 2.00% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the applicable Loans (or, in the case of any such fees and other amounts, at a rate which is 2.00% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans that are Revolving Loans); provided, that in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, upon the expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time any such increase in interest rate is effective such Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall thereupon become Base Rate Loans, and shall thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at a rate which is 2.00% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans. 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.

Section 2.11 Fees.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders) having Revolving Exposure commitment fees equal to (1) the average of the daily difference between (a) the Revolving Commitments and (b) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans times (2) the Applicable Revolving Commitment Fee Percentage.

All fees referred to in this Section 2.11(a) shall be paid in Dollars to the Administrative Agent at its Principal Office and upon receipt, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender that has Revolving Exposure its Pro Rata Share thereof.

(b) [Reserved].

(d) [Reserved].

(e) All fees referred to in Sections 2.11(a) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on

March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year during the applicable Revolving Commitment Period, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the applicable Revolving Commitment Termination Date.

(f) In addition to any of the foregoing fees, the Borrower agree to pay to the Administrative Agent such other fees (such as administrative agency fees) in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon.

Section 2.12 [Reserved].

Section 2.13 Voluntary Prepayments/Commitment Reductions.

(a) Voluntary Prepayments.

(i) Any time and from time to time (1) with respect to Base Rate Loans, the Borrower may prepay any such Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part, in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount and (2) with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, the Borrower may prepay any such Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part in an aggregate minimum amount of, with respect to Revolving Loans, $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount, without premium or penalty.

(ii) All such prepayments shall be made (1) upon not less than one Business Day’s prior written notice in the case of Base Rate Loans and (2) upon not less than three Business Days’ prior written notice in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans;

in each case given to the Administrative Agent by 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date required (and the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit such original notice electronically or by telefacsimile or telephone to each Lender). Upon the giving of any such notice, the principal amount of the Loans specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein; provided that such a notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, indentures or similar agreements or the occurrence of any other transactions, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower if such condition is not satisfied. Any such voluntary prepayment shall be applied as specified in Section 2.15(a).

(b) Voluntary Commitment Reductions.

(i) The Borrower may, upon not less than three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (which written notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit electronically or by telefacsimile or telephone to each applicable Lender), at any time and from time to time terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part, without premium or penalty, the Revolving Commitments in an amount up to the amount by which (x) the Revolving Commitments exceed the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments at the time of such proposed termination or reduction; provided, that any such partial reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of, $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount.

(ii) The Borrower’s notice to the Administrative Agent shall designate the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such termination or reduction and the amount of any partial reduction, and such termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be effective on the date specified in the Borrower’s notice and shall reduce the applicable Revolving Commitments of each Lender proportionately to its Pro Rata Share thereof; provided that such a notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, indentures or similar agreements or the occurrence of any other transactions, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower if such condition is not satisfied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.13(b)(ii) or any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower may reduce the Revolving Commitment of any Defaulting Lender to an amount not less than the applicable Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Revolving Commitment (it being understood that for purposes of determining such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Exposure pursuant to this sentence, such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitments shall be deemed to be terminated), such reduction to be subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 2.14 Mandatory Prepayments/Commitment Reductions.

(a) Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall be required from time to time to prepay the Revolving Loans to the extent necessary so that the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments shall not at any time exceed the Revolving Commitments then in effect.

Section 2.15 Application of Prepayments/Reductions.

(a) Application of Voluntary Prepayments by Type of Loans. Any prepayment of any Loan pursuant to Section 2.13(a) shall be applied to the Loans as specified by the Borrower in the applicable notice of prepayment and, in any event, such prepayment shall be applied to repay such outstanding Loans on a pro rata basis until paid in full.

(b) Application of Prepayments of Loans to Base Rate Loans and Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Any prepayment of Revolving Loans shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, in each case in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18(c).

Section 2.16 General Provisions Regarding Payments.

(a) All payments by the Borrower of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars, in same day funds, without defense, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition (other than 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 (including any security or quasi-security granted in favor of the financial institution with whom such arrangements are entered into in order to secure obligations under such arrangements and including an ancillary facility which is an overdraft comprising more than one account)), and delivered to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due at the Principal Office designated by the Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders.

For purposes of computing interest and fees, funds received by the Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by the Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day.

(b) All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan (other than voluntary prepayments of Revolving Loan) 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.

(c) The Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such address as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts due thereto, including all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by the Administrative Agent.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions hereof, if any Conversion/Continuation Notice is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any Eurocurrency Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning payments received thereafter.

(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 the Borrower hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City 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 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 the Administrative Agent 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 agree among themselves that, 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 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 the 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 the 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 and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (x) no Loans may be made as, or converted to, Eurocurrency Rate Loans until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower 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 with respect to the Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by the Borrower.

(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 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, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base 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 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 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 Borrower.

(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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace LIBO Rate with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such proposed amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders; provided that, with respect to any proposed amendment containing any SOFR-Based Rate, the Lenders shall be entitled to object only to the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment contained therein. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of LIBO Rate with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.18(e) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (ii) the

implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period.

Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.18(e), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their reasonable discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.18(e).

Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, the component of Base Rate based upon LIBO Rate will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.

Section 2.19 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a) Compensation For Increased Costs. In the event that any Lender 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; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans 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 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 (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 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 other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans, 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 from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence, the 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 (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 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 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 that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the 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 the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable requirements of law and reasonably requested by the 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 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower 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 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, 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 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 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 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 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, that such Lender shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower 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 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 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 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 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 receives a refund of any amount as to which the Borrower has made any payments pursuant to this Section 2.20, the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall pay over any such refund to the 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 the 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 the 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 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 the Borrower or any other Person.

(f) The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and any Lender, 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 agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering its Loans 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 or Loans 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 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 pursuant to this Section 2.21 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender to the Borrower (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 [Reserved].

Section 2.23 Removal or Replacement of a Lender. 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 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’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), 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 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 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 accrued but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.11, such amounts to be calculated in Dollars; (2) on the date of such assignment, the 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. 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 the Borrower exercises its option hereunder to cause an assignment by such 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.

Section 2.24 Incremental Facilities. The Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent at any time after the Closing Date elect to request an increase to the existing Revolving Commitments (any such increase, the “Incremental Revolving Commitments”) by an aggregate amount not to exceed $100,000,000, and, in each case, not less than $25,000,000 individually (or such lesser amount which shall be approved by the Administrative Agent), and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess of that amount. Each such notice shall specify (A) the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Incremental Revolving Commitments 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”) to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such Incremental Revolving Commitments be allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided that the Administrative Agent may elect or decline to arrange such Incremental Revolving Commitments in its sole discretion and any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Revolving Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide an Incremental Revolving Commitment. Such Incremental Revolving Commitments shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date; provided that: (1) no Default or Event of Default

shall exist under the Loan Documents, and no Default or Event of Default (each as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) shall exist under the Existing Credit Agreement, on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such Incremental Revolving Commitments; (2) the Administrative Agent shall have received certified copies of resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Borrower authorizing such Incremental Revolving Commitments and related amendments to the Loan Documents; (3) the Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by the Borrower, the Incremental Revolving Loan Lender and the Administrative Agent, and each of which shall be recorded in the Register and each Incremental Revolving 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 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).

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 existing Lenders with Revolving Commitments 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 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 then-existing Revolving Commitments, (b) each Incremental Revolving Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Commitment and each Loan made thereunder (an “Incremental Revolving Loan”) shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Loan 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 ) take such additional actions as it deems reasonably necessary to effect the foregoing and such other adjustments to ensure that the Revolving Exposure is allocated ratably in accordance with the applicable Revolving Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such Incremental Revolving Commitments.

The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receipt of the Borrower’s notice of each Increased Amount Date and in respect thereof (x) the Incremental Revolving Commitments and the Incremental Revolving Loan Lenders and (y) 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 Revolving Loans shall be identical to the then-existing Revolving Loans. Any Incremental Revolving Loans will be documented solely as an increase to the then-existing Revolving Commitments 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. Each Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any

Lender other than the applicable Incremental Revolving 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.

the form of a tender offer or similar transaction, after the offer shall have been launched) and prior to the consummation of such Qualifying Acquisition (or termination of the definitive documentation in respect thereof (or such earlier date as such Indebtedness ceases to constitute Acquisition Debt)), any Acquisition Debt (and the proceeds thereof) shall be excluded from the calculation of the Interest Coverage Ratio and Net Leverage Ratio and (ii) if the financial covenants and/or defined terms relating thereto set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement shall from time to time be amended, replaced, waived or otherwise modified in any respect in accordance with the terms thereof (or through any restatement, replacement or refinancing thereof), this Section 6.04 (and any defined terms relating hereto) shall automatically and without any further action by any Lender or the Administrative Agent be amended, waived or otherwise modified to the extent required to render this Section 6.04 identical to the financial covenants (and any defined terms relating thereto) in the Existing Credit Agreement after giving effect to such amendment, replacement, waiver or modification (or restatement, replacement or refinancing thereof).

Article VII.

GUARANTY

Section 7.01 Guaranty of the Obligations.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 7.02, each Guarantor jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guaranties to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Guaranteed Parties the due and punctual Payment in Full of all Obligations of the Borrower when 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 “Guaranteed Obligations”).

(b) Any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may cause any Subsidiary to guarantee the Obligations of the Borrower hereunder by delivering to the Administrative Agent a Counterpart Agreement pursuant to which such Person shall become a “Guarantor” for all purposes under this Agreement and each other Loan Document and shall be bound by all of the obligations and shall have all of the rights of a “Guarantor” under this Agreement and each other Loan Document including, without limitation, providing the guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations as set forth in this Article VII.

Section 7.02 Limitation on Liability; Contribution by Guarantors.

(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Guarantor, and by acceptance of the benefits hereof, the Administrative Agent and each other Guaranteed Party, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that each Guaranty and the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code or any other federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to each Guaranty and the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the

Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

(b) Each Guarantor (the “Contributing Guarantors”) desires to allocate among themselves, in a fair and equitable manner, the Guaranteed Obligations arising under this Guaranty. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under this Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments exceed its Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other applicable Contributing Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each such Contributing Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Contributing Guarantor to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors multiplied by (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations,. “Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any 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.

Subject to Section 7.02, 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 the 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 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 the 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 the 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.

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;

(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 the 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 the Borrower and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the obligations of the Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against the Borrower or any of such other guarantors and whether or not the 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 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 the Borrower or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Loan Documents; 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 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 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 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 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 the 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 the 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 the 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 the Borrower, any such other guarantor or any other 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 the 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 the 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 the 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 the 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 the 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 the 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 the Borrower or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Guaranteed Party may have against the 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 Borrower. It is not necessary for any Guaranteed Party to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or the 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 Borrower. Any Credit Extension may be made to the Borrower or continued from time to time without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of the Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation. 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, 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 the Borrower or any other Guarantor or by any defense which the 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.

(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 the 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 the 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.

If all of the Equity Interests of any Guarantor or any of its successors in interest hereunder shall be sold or otherwise disposed of or such 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 Guarantor or such successor in interest, as the case may be, hereunder and all security interests (if any) granted in the Collateral by such 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, 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 the security interests in the Collateral.

Citi is hereby appointed as Syndication Agent hereunder, and each Lender hereby authorizes Citi to act as the Syndication Agent in accordance with the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents. Barclays is hereby appointed as the Administrative Agent and, from and after the occurrence of a Springing Lien Trigger Event, Collateral Agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and each Lender hereby authorizes Barclays to act as the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents. Truist Bank is hereby appointed as the Documentation Agent hereunder, and each Lender hereby authorizes Truist Bank to act as the Documentation Agent in accordance with the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents. Each Agent hereby agrees to act in its capacity as such upon the express conditions contained herein and the other Loan Documents, as applicable.

In performing its functions and duties hereunder, each Agent shall act solely as an agent of the Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Group Member. The Syndication Agent and the Documentation Agent, without consent of or notice to any party hereto, may assign any and all of its rights or obligations hereunder to any of its Affiliates. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Loan Document, each of the Arrangers, the Bookrunners, the Syndication Agent and the Documentation Agent are named as such for recognition purposes only, and in their respective capacities as such shall have no duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; it being understood and agreed that each of the Arrangers, the Bookrunners, the Syndication Agent and the Documentation Agent shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of the Agents provided herein and in the other Loan Documents and all of the other benefits of this Article IX

Section 9.02 Powers and Duties. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent to take such action on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers, rights and remedies

hereunder and under the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated or granted to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto. In the event that any obligations (other than the Obligations) are permitted to be incurred hereunder and secured by Liens permitted to be incurred hereunder on all or a portion of the Collateral, each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to enter into intercreditor agreements, subordination agreements and amendments to the Security Documents to reflect such arrangements on terms acceptable to the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (each, an “Intercreditor Agreement”).

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under the agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

Section 9.03 General Immunity.

(a) No Responsibility for Certain Matters. No Agent shall be responsible to any Lender for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency hereof or any other Loan Document, or for the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien, or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by any Agent to the Lenders or by or on behalf of any Loan Party or to any Agent or Lender in connection with the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of any Loan Party or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor shall any Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Loan Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Default or as to the value or sufficiency of any Collateral or as to the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere herein (other than confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent) or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Group Member or to make any disclosures with respect to the foregoing. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent shall not have any liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Loans.

(b) Exculpatory Provisions. No Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the Lenders (i) for any action taken or omitted by any Agent (A) under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents or (B) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any

other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement) except to the extent caused by such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. No Agent shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose or be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Each Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection herewith or any of the other Loan Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 10.05) and, upon receipt of such instructions from Required Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be), such Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions and shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for a Group Member), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 10.05).

(c) Delegation of Duties. 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. All of the rights, benefits, and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of this Section 9.03 and of Section 9.06 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities as sub-agent as if such sub-agent and Affiliates were named herein. 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, 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 Borrower or any of its Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from the 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 or an Assignment Agreement or a Joinder Agreement and funding its Revolving 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 the 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.

(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. 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 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 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, 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 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 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 shall have the right to appoint a financial institution as the Collateral Agent hereunder, subject to the reasonable satisfaction of the Borrower 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 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.

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 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 Borrower, 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.

(d) Release of Collateral and Guarantee, 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, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender) take such actions as shall be reasonably requested to evidence the release of their 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 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 the 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, the 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 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 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 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 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 the 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 the 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 the 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 and the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(b) In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, 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 and the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that none of the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers or any of their respective Affiliates is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such

Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

Loan Documents and any consents, amendments, supplements, waivers or other modifications thereto and any other documents or matters requested by the Borrower; provided that reasonable attorney’s fees shall be limited to one primary counsel and, if reasonably required by the Administrative Agent, one local counsel per jurisdiction and one specialist counsel per specialty, provided, further, that no such limitation shall apply if counsel for the Administrative Agent determines in good faith that there is a conflict of interest that requires separate representation for any Agent or Lender; (c) all the actual costs and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of creating, perfecting, recording, maintaining and preserving Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Guaranteed Parties, including filing and recording fees, expenses and Taxes, stamp or documentary Taxes, search fees, title insurance premiums and reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent; (d) all the actual costs and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of any appraisers, consultants, advisors and agents employed or retained by the Collateral Agent and its counsel) in connection with the custody or preservation of any of the Collateral; (e) all other actual costs and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each Agent in connection with the syndication of the Loans and Commitments and the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and any consents, amendments, supplements, waivers or other modifications thereto; and (f) all actual costs and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (including allocated costs of internal counsel) and costs of settlement, incurred by any Agent or any Lender in enforcing any Obligations under the Loan Documents of or in collecting any payments due from any Loan Party hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (including in connection with the sale, lease or license of, collection from, or other realization upon any of the Collateral or the enforcement of the Guaranty) or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work-out” or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy cases or proceedings. 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, and each 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 and each 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 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.

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 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 and under the other Loan Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected hereto, 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 sub-clause (ii) of the last sentence of Section 6.04 and 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 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 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:

(i) extend the scheduled final maturity of any Loan or Note;

(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 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 the Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate;

(v) waive or extend the time for payment of any such interest, fees or premiums, it being understood that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to rescind an acceleration of Obligations under the Loan Documents after acceleration thereof pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof;

(vi) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan;

(vii) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of Section 2.15 (except to the extent provided for in Section 10.05(c)(iii)), Section 2.16(c), Section 2.17, this Section 10.05(b), Section 10.05(c) or any other provision of this Agreement that expressly provides that the consent of all Lenders (or all Lenders in a particular facility) is required;

(viii) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Loan Party of any of its rights and obligations under any Loan Document except as expressly provided in any Loan Document;

(ix) amend the definition of “Required Lenders” or amend Section 10.05(a) in a manner that has the same effect as an amendment to such definition or the definition of “Pro Rata Share”;

(x) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or all or substantially all of the Guarantors (by value) from the Guaranty except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents or any Intercreditor Agreement;

(xi) amend or modify any provision of Section 10.06 in a manner that further restricts assignments thereunder;

(xii) subordinate any Liens of the Collateral Agent on all or substantially all of the Collateral; or

(xiii) change the stated currency in which the Borrower is required to make payments of principal, interest, fees or other amounts hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

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).

(c) Other Consents. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents, or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, shall:

(i) increase any Commitment of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect or extend the outside date for such Commitment without the consent of such Lender; provided that no amendment, modification or waiver of any condition precedent, covenant, Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to constitute an increase in any Commitment of any Lender;

(ii) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of Article IX as the same applies to any Agent, or any other provision hereof as the same applies to the rights or obligations of any Agent, in each case without the consent of such Agent;

(iii) [reserved];

(iv) (i) the Commitment or Loan of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended and the principal of any Loan of a Defaulting Lender may not be reduced, in each case without the consent of such Lender and (ii) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of each such Defaulting Lender.

(d) Execution of Amendments, Etc. The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, supplements, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender. 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. No notice to or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 10.05 shall be binding upon each Lender at the time outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by a Loan Party, on such Loan Party.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein, no consent of any Lender shall be required in connection with the making of any amendment to any Loan Document of the type described in Section 2.24 hereof which states in such Section that no consent of any Lender, other than the applicable Incremental Revolving Loan Lender is required.

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. Except as permitted under Section 6.02, no Loan Party’s rights or obligations hereunder nor any interest therein may be assigned or delegated by any Loan Party without the prior written consent of all Lenders (and any purported assignment or delegation without such consent shall be null and void) and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 10.06.

(b) Register. The Borrower, each Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding Commitments and Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Commitment or Loan shall be effective, in each case, unless

and until recorded in the Register following receipt of a fully executed Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof, together with the required forms and certificates regarding Tax matters and any fees payable in connection with such assignment, in each case, as provided in Section 10.06(d). Each assignment shall be recorded in the Register promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of the fully executed Assignment Agreement and all other necessary documents and approvals, prompt notice thereof shall be provided to the Borrower and a copy of such Assignment Agreement shall be maintained, as applicable. The date of such recordation of a transfer shall be referred to herein as the “Assignment Effective Date.” Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the 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

(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 and the Administrative Agent and consented to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent(each such consent not to be (x) unreasonably withheld or delayed or (y) in the case of the Borrower, 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 $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Borrower 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; 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 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 the 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, 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 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 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) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent 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 or Note in which such participant is participating, 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) The 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’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 Borrower, 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 or any other Person in connection with the sale 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 Borrower, 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 the 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 the 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.

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, 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 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. 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 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 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 10.15 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 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.

Section 10.17 Confidentiality. Each Agent and each Lender shall hold all non-public information regarding the Group and their businesses identified as such by the Borrower 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 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, 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 the 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 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, the 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 had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders and the 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 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent of written notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents entered into in connection with this Agreement represent the entire agreement of the Group, the Agents, 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

100

by any Agent, 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 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 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.

101

Section 10.24 No Fiduciary Duty. Each Agent, each Arranger, each Bookrunner, each Lender and their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower, its stockholders and/or its Affiliates. The 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 the 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 Borrower, 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 the 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 the Borrower, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the 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 the Borrower, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the 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. The 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.

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 the Borrower or any 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 Borrower or any Guarantor in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower or such 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 the Borrower or such Guarantor (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

Section 10.26 Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.

102

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 Affected Financial Institution under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
