Exhibit (10)bb.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS TO TRADEMARK LICENSE AGREEMENT

These terms and conditions to trademark license agreement and all exhibits referenced herein, dated as of December 17, 2019 (“T&C”) are hereby incorporated by reference into one (1) or more Schedules executed between Levi Xxxxxxx & Co. (“LS&Co.”) and Licensee as though set forth in full. The T&C and each Schedule (including its exhibits) constitute a separate trademark license agreement (“Agreement”) between the parties. In the event of a conflict between the T&C and a Schedule (including its exhibits) with respect to the Agreement, the Schedule (including its exhibits) shall govern and control. All capitalized terms are defined in the T&C, Exhibit A attached hereto, or a Schedule. LS&Co. and Licensee agree as follows:

1. Grant of License

1.1 Grant of License. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, LS&Co. grants to Licensee, and Licensee accepts, an exclusive, non-assignable right to use the Trademarks solely as set forth in this Agreement, solely in connection with the manufacture, advertising, distribution and sale of Products to Approved Retailers for resale by those Approved Retailers within the Territory. At all times, the exclusivity described by this grant extends only to those specific forms of trademarks as specifically authorized by this Agreement. Licensee acknowledges and understands that LS&Co. sells products under and licenses other brands and trademarks that may derive from, refer to or include terms that form part of the Trademarks, and sells and licenses other products that may use the Trademarks. For purposes of clarity, subject to LS&Co.’s right to remove exclusivity under Section 13.2 and any Exceptions to Exclusivity, the exclusivity of this license shall apply to the Products manufactured, advertised, distributed, and sold to Approved Retailers only, for resale within the Territory, and LS&Co. and/or its authorized third party partners shall be permitted to manufacture, sell, and market the Products to non-Approved Retailers in the Territory.

1.2 Exceptions to Exclusivity. LS&Co., including its authorized third-party partners, may manufacture, market, distribute and sell in the Territory:

(a) The Products at (i) LS&Co.’s owned Levi’s® stores and Dockers® stores and franchised Levi’s® stores and Dockers® stores, xxxx.xxx, xxxxxxx.xxx, e-commerce websites, and outlets operating under the Levi’s® or Dockers® brands, (the “Stores”).

(b) any third-party marketplace website (including without limitation Amazon Marketplace and Facebook Marketplace).

LS&Co.’s ability to manufacture, market, distribute, and sell Products under the Exceptions to Exclusivity shall also apply to any subsidiary acquired by LS&Co. and wholly owned by LS&Co. on or after the Effective Date and any such subsidiary’s owned and operated brick and mortar stores and e-commerce site(s) shall be deemed a “Store.”

1.3 Removal of Countries from Licensed Territory. LS&Co. may from time to time remove countries, regions or other geographic designations from the Territory if, (i) based on an assessment of any country, region or other geographic destination under the GSOG by LS&Co. or its authorized representatives, LS&Co. determines that LS&Co.

[***] Indicates portions of this exhibit that have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.

and/or Licensee should not conduct its business, or certain elements thereof, in such country, (ii) if Licensee fails to distribute Products in any given region, country, or Approved Retailer, within an Annual Period, then Licensee shall forfeit the rights granted in this Agreement to that region, country, geographic destination, or Approved Retailer; or (iii) if a country becomes prohibited by applicable law, the prohibition shall be automatic as of the effective date of such law without need of any notice from LS&Co. Where LS&Co. removes a country region or other geographic designation from the Territory pursuant to 1.3(i), LS&Co. shall use reasonable efforts to give Licensee reasonable prior notice thereof.

2. Term

2.1 Term. The Agreement shall be effective during the Initial Term and any Renewal Term unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

2.2 Renewal Term. The Agreement may be renewed for a Renewal Term in LS&Co.’s sole discretion. If Licensee desires to renew the Agreement, Licensee must submit a written request for renewal to LS&Co. during the Renewal Notice Period. The Agreement shall be eligible for consideration of renewal only if: (i) Licensee is in compliance with all terms and conditions of the Agreement, (ii) there is no outstanding Event of Default as defined in Section 13.1 existing on the date that Licensee delivers its request for renewal or at any time during the balance of the Term, and (iii) with respect to the Renewal Term, Licensee must meet or exceed the Minimum Renewal Sales. Licensee shall include with its renewal request data demonstrating that the renewal conditions are met, along with Licensee’s projected Sales Plan during the Renewal Term, and strategies to achieve the projected Sales Plan during the Renewal Term. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of Licensee’s renewal request, LS&Co. shall notify Licensee whether or not the Agreement shall be considered renewed. If the Agreement is not renewed, it shall expire and terminate at the end of the Initial Term. Licensee’s failure to timely deliver its written request for renewal shall be treated as a final decision by Licensee that it has elected not to renew this Agreement.

2.3 During the Term, except as otherwise approved in writing by LS&Co., Licensee shall not (and shall ensure that its Affiliates shall not), either directly or indirectly, for itself, or through, on behalf of, or in connection with any third party operate a business in direct competition with LS&Co. or its Affiliates. For purposes of clarity, the following shall not be deemed a breach of this Section 2.3: (i) Other Relationships; and (ii) other licensing arrangements approved by LS&Co. in writing pursuant to Section 12.2.

3. Royalties

3.1 Guaranteed Minimum Royalty. Subject to Section 3.2 below, Licensee shall pay LS&Co. the Guaranteed Minimum Royalty in equal installments on December 1, March 1, June 1 and September 1 on each Quarter for each Annual Period.

3.2 Earned Royalties. Licensee shall pay to LS&CO. First Quality Earned Royalties, Second Quality Earned Royalties, and any MFO Earned Royalties on Net Sales of all Products (collectively, “Earned Royalties”) on each Quarter for each Annual Period.

At the end of each Quarter, if and only if Licensee’s cumulative Earned Royalties to date for an Annual Period exceed the Guaranteed Minimum Royalty for that Annual Period Licensee must pay the excess amount (“Excess Royalty Payment”). The Excess Royalty

[***] Indicates portions of this exhibit that have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.

Payment is due thirty (30) days after the end of the Quarter in which the Licensee exceeds the Guaranteed Minimum Royalty. After an Excess Royalty Payment has been made for any Quarter in an Annual Period, there will be no more obligations for the payment of any remaining Guaranteed Minimum Royalty for that Annual Period and at the end of each remaining Quarter for that Annual Period.

For Net Sales of any Second Quality Products, Licensee shall pay to LS&Co. the Second Quality Earned Royalties and for Net Sales of any MFO Products, Licensee shall pay to LS&Co. the MFO Earned Royalties; provided, however, that in the event Licensee’s Net Sales of Second Quality Products and MFO Earned Royalties for any Annual Period exceed the Second Quality Threshold, Licensee shall pay LS&Co. the First Quality Earned Royalties on all Products sold that exceed the Second Quality Threshold during that Annual Period. For any such Annual Period, Licensee shall pay LS&CO. at the time it delivers the fiscal year annual statement for that Annual Period as described in Section 9.2, First Quality Earned Royalties on Net Sales of all Products sold (including Second Quality Products) during the Annual Period, less any Earned Royalties that Licensee has previously paid to LS&CO. for such sales.

3.3 No Cross-Collateralization. Any monies paid or payable to LS&Co. under any section of this Agreement shall be accounted for separately and distinctly, and shall not be used to offset any other amount paid or payable to LS&Co. For the sake of clarity, Licensee may not offset gains and losses from a different Territory, Annual Period, geography, sales channel, or other product category as applicable.

3.4 Payment Mechanics.

(a) Licensee shall make royalty and all other required payments to LS&Co. in U.S. Dollars by wire transfer to:

[***]:

(i) if Guaranteed Minimum Royalty, then: [***]

(ii) if Marketing Contribution, then: [***]

(iii) if Excess Royalty Payment, then: [***]

All royalty payments shall be received by LS&Co. by the 1^st day of each Quarter based on Net Sales of the previous Quarter just ended. Licensee shall provide LS&Co. with written documentation of the wire transfer within five (5) days of each such transfer. If a payment is not received when due for any reason, interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal amount of such installment from and after the date on which it became due, at a rate equal to [***] percent ([***]%) over the base rate (expressed as an annual rate) announced from time to time by Citibank N.A. New York (or its successor) as then in effect. If, upon any examination of Licensee’s books and records as provided by Section 9, LS&Co. discovers any royalty underpayment by Licensee, then Licensee shall make, within thirty (30) days after LS&Co.’s demand, all payments required to be made to correct and eliminate the underpayment. In addition, if that examination reveals an underpayment of more than [***] percent ([***]%) for any Quarter, then Licensee shall reimburse LS&Co. for LS&Co.’s expenses in performing the examination.

(b) Currency Conversion. Payments shall be computed in U.S. Dollars, converted to U.S. Dollars, and then transmitted as noted above. For purposes of calculating any payment that requires conversion from local currency to U.S. Dollars, local currency

[***] Indicates portions of this exhibit that have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.

shall be converted to U.S. Dollars according to the exchange rate published by Bloomberg on the date payment is due (or, if that is not a business day, the immediately preceding business day). However, if a payment is transmitted after the date payment was originally due, the currency exchange rate used shall be the rate as of the date payment was originally due or the rate as of the date the payment is transmitted, whichever rate yields the larger amount in U.S. Dollars. Licensee shall bear the cost of conversion and remittance of payments to LS&Co.

3.5 Monthly Selling Report. Within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month, Licensee shall prepare and furnish to LS&CO. a monthly selling report in a format provided by LS&Co.

3.6 Quarterly Royalty Statement. A royalty statement for each Quarter shall be prepared and furnished by Licensee to LS&Co. with respect to each quarterly period ended the last business day of February, May, August and November of the Term and shall be furnished to LS&Co. within thirty (30) calendar days of the end of each such period. The quarterly royalty statement shall include Net Sales for First Quality Products by account, Net Sales for Second Quality Products by account, Net Sales for any MFO Products by account, Net Sales for Closeouts by account, net returns by account and a calculation of royalties for the Quarter. All royalty statements shall be transmitted to LS&Co. through MBX, Licensing at xxxxxxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx or via such other method as may be designated by LS&Co. from time to time (whether by electronic transmission, fax or mail). Licensee shall include with each quarterly royalty statement a written certification of statement accuracy by Licensee’s Chief Financial Officer of accounting firm.

3.7 Annual Royalty Statement. Annually, within 30 days following the close of each Annual Period, Licensee shall submit to LS&Co. a statement in the form provided by LS&Co., certified by Licensee’s Chief Financial Officer, showing for the preceding Annual Period:

(a) aggregate Net Sales in U.S. Dollars and unit volume by country and a calculation of Earned Royalties by country;

(b) a listing of each retailer and distributor by country to which Licensee sold Products in such period and the sales in dollars and unit volume to each such retailer or distributor in such period; and

3.8 Reporting Requirements. LS&Co. may, from time to time, revise the report process and format described above. Upon notice from LS&Co., Licensee shall comply with the revised reporting requirements as determined by LS&Co.

4. Marketing and Sales

4.1 Sales Plan. On or before September 1 of each Annual Period, Licensee shall deliver to LS&Co. the Sales Plan for the upcoming Annual Period.

4.2 Marketing Contribution

[***] Indicates portions of this exhibit that have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.

(a) Guaranteed Marketing Contribution. Subject to Section 4.2 (b) below, Licensee shall pay to LS&Co. the Guaranteed Marketing Contribution in equal installments on December 1, March 1, June 1, and September 1 on each Quarter for each Annual Period.

(b) Earned Marketing Contribution. Licensee shall pay to LS&Co. the Earned Marketing Contribution on each Quarter for each Annual Period.

At the end of each Quarter, if and only if Licensee’s cumulative Marketing Contributions to date for an Annual Period exceed the Guaranteed Marketing Contribution for that Annual Period, Licensee must pay the excess amount (“Excess Marketing Payment”). The Excess Marketing Payment is due thirty (30) days after the end of the Quarter in which the Licensee exceeds the Guaranteed Marketing Contribution. After an Excess Marketing Payment has been made for any Quarter, there will be no more obligation for the payment of any remaining Guaranteed Marketing Contribution for that Annual Period and at the end of each remaining Quarter for that Annual Period, the Earned Marketing Contribution will be paid on the Net Sales of that relevant Quarter. Earned Marketing Contributions shall be separate from and shall not be subject to credit for expenditures by Licensee for cooperative advertising, trade advertising, fixture programs, trade shows, sampling or any other promotional or sales material. LS&Co. shall use these funds for consumer marketing of the Brand and branded products through the channels of trade and at the times and in the manner as LS&Co. may determine, Licensee acknowledging that it may not receive any direct or pro rata benefit from its Earned Marketing Contributions.

(c) Marketing Spend. During each Annual Period, Licensee shall use the Marketing Spend for that Annual Period on the following activities: (i) in store environment, including but not limited to fixturing costs, and (ii) other approved items, such as merchandise coordinators. Licensee will provide LS&Co. with documentation outlining marketing activities and the actual Marketing Spend with its annual report. If Licensee’s actual aggregate Marketing Spend is less than the Marketing Spend set forth on a Schedule (based on actual Net Sales for the applicable Annual Period), Licensee will pay LS&Co. an amount equal to the unspent Marketing Spend. All Marketing Spend must be pre-approved by LS&Co.

Marketing Contribution and Marketing Spend shall be separate from, and shall not be subject to credit for, expenditures by Licensee for cooperative advertising, trade advertising, trade shows, sampling, or any other promotional or sales material not included in the Marketing Plan.

4.3 Showroom. No later than the Effective Date, Licensee at its sole expense shall establish, and then maintain during the Initial Term of this Agreement, and Renewal Term, if any, a showroom in New York dedicated exclusively to Products (the “Showroom”).

4.4 Business Materials. Licensee shall not use any business materials, including, without limitation, invoices, stationery, advertising, promotional materials, sundries, labels, packaging, fixtures, posters or graphics, bearing any of the Trademarks, unless such materials comply with LS&Co.’s trademark use standards as contemplated by Section 11.8 and unless Licensee shall have first obtained LS&Co.’s approval of the use. Any approval granted by LS&Co. shall be effective until revoked by LS&Co. To the extent LS&Co.’s approval relates only to a seasonal collection of Products, Licensee shall not use such packaging or business materials without LS&Co.’s separate specific approval after completion of the season to which the collection relates. Licensee also agrees not to use any document for HR purposes, labor management matters, or in any other employment-

related context (including paychecks) that make reference to or incorporate any of the Trademarks.

4.5 Retailer-Level Advertising.

LS&Co. shall provide guidelines for such advertising including, without limitation, acceptable trademark and/or logo usage, recommendations of layout, models, styling, size and placement of advertising. Licensee shall use reasonable efforts to ensure Approved Retailer compliance with those guidelines. Licensee shall not use cooperative advertising or other advertising materials prepared by Licensee for Approved Retailers without first obtaining LS&Co.’s approval of such materials.

4.6 Retail and Visual Presentations

(a) Licensee, at its sole expense, shall develop all visuals used at retail, including packaging, fixtures, point of sale materials and visual merchandising materials. Licensee shall provide LS&Co. with a timetable for the development of such materials. LS&Co. may provide reasonable guidelines for the development of such materials, and use of all such materials shall be subject to LS&Co.’s prior approval. Licensee at its expense may use the vendors and creative agencies used by LS&Co. for similar projects. If Licensee decides not to use such vendors, it shall nonetheless be required to comply with guidelines provided by LS&Co. If LS&Co. reasonably determines that any materials produced by a vendor selected by Licensee do not meet LS&Co.’s quality standards, Licensee shall upon LS&Co.’s request select and use an alternate vendor approved by LS&Co.

(b) Licensee shall use reasonable efforts to secure premium retail locations, custom fixturing and strong image positioning for the Products on the retail floor. Licensee shall work with Approved Retailers to update the location, fixturing and positioning on a regular basis. Licensee shall not provide, both during the Initial Term and Renewal Term, if any, and after its expiration or termination, packaging, fixtures, point of sale, visual merchandising or related materials to any person or entity other than to an Approved Retailer and LS&Co.

4.7 Trade Advertising; Publicity

(a) Licensee shall be responsible for the development, at Licensee's sole expense, of all advertising in trade or industry publications. Licensee shall submit all such advertising to LS&Co. for its approval prior to its submission to the publication. Licensee shall use LS&Co. branded apparel or accessories in all Product advertising whenever a head to toe shot or visual requiring other product categories is required. If LS&Co. or one of its licensees does not have a product category required for the advertisement, then LS&Co. and Licensee shall choose an alternate brand for that product category, it being understood that Licensee shall: (i) be responsible for obtaining appropriate legal advice concerning such use; (ii) cause all trademark or other identifying marks or features visible on the item to be removed from or obscured in the final image prior to publication; and (iii) be responsible in all respects to the maker of the alternative product. If removing or obscuring the xxxx is impossible because of the nature of the product or is unsatisfactory from an aesthetic or legal perspective, then Licensee and LS&Co. shall select another product.

(b) Licensee shall maintain editorial contacts within its industry and shall use reasonable efforts to gain editorial coverage for Products in relevant industry

[***] Indicates portions of this exhibit that have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.

publications. Licensee shall not, however, make any press or other public communications regarding LS&Co., the Brand or Product plans and strategies, sales or earnings of the Products or the status of the relationship between LS&Co. and Licensee, without in each case first obtaining LS&Co.’s approval, it being understood that LS&Co. anticipates that it shall coordinate all major programs to publicize or promote the Products.

4.8 Merchandise Coordinators. Licensee shall provide, at its sole expense, merchandise coordinators as appropriate for the Products. Licensee’s merchandise coordinators shall take appropriate actions intended to facilitate Product presentation at retail that is consistent with visual standards and strategic objectives appropriate to products bearing the Trademarks. Licensee shall provide appropriate training to both its coordinators and Approved Retailer sales associates, using LS&Co. provided information to illustrate overall brand strategies and visual standards.

4.9 Marketing Coordination. The senior executives of Licensee responsible for marketing the Products shall attend marketing coordination meetings as requested by LS&Co. These meetings shall include discussion of marketing, publicity, promotion, advertising, visual programs, use of Trademarks, and development of annual and seasonal marketing plans. Representatives from other licensees of the Trademarks and creative vendors of LS&Co. may be present as LS&Co. may decide. LS&Co. shall schedule marketing coordination meetings upon reasonable advance written notice and at times consistent with market calendars.

4.10 Research. LS&Co. may, at its discretion and sole expense, perform research about consumer reaction to advertising or product initiatives involving Products. LS&Co. shall inform Licensee in advance of such research. Licensee shall participate in such research if invited to do so by LS&Co.

5. Product Designs

5.1 Design Schedule. All designing of Product, whether by LS&Co. or Licensee, shall be performed in compliance with a design schedule agreed upon at the start of each season’s design period (the “Design Schedule”). An example of such a schedule is set forth in a Schedule. Such Design Schedule shall specify (a) deadlines (the “Deadlines”), which shall be strictly observed, and (b) target dates (the “Target Dates”), which the parties shall exercise their best efforts to meet.

5.2 Design Approval. Licensee shall not produce or sell any Product unless LS&Co. approves of the design and the collection therefor under this Section 5. Licensee shall produce at least [***] ([***]) collections per Annual Period, for the Spring/Summer & Fall/Winter seasons and not less than [***] ([***]) Styles for each collection (including Styles that have been carried forward from the preceding season). For purposes of this Section 5, a “Style” shall mean a specific shape of a Product in a particular fabrication. Licensee shall submit to LS&Co., for LS&Co.’s approval in accordance with the Design Schedule, all proposed designs and collections, through vehicles and formats acceptable to LS&Co. If LS&Co. approves, but specifies modifications, in any design or collection, then Licensee shall incorporate those modifications in the final form of that design or collection. In addition, LS&Co. may submit proposed designs to Licensee. Licensee shall in good faith consider these designs, and Licensee and LS&Co. shall mutually decide whether to use or adapt for use the proposed designs. LS&Co. shall have the sole right to determine which Trademarks (and which combinations, forms or derivatives of such trademarks) shall be used in connection with each particular Product. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that LS&Co.’s approval in this regard is given only as to branding

Licensee shall at all times ensure that any and all designs provided by it to LS&Co. shall be legally available for use by LS&Co. without liability to a third party. Licensee shall fully indemnify LS&Co. from all claims, loss, expenses or damages incurred as a consequence of its liability. Design approval granted by LS&Co. shall remain in effect for the season for which it was granted. For the sake of clarity, Licensee must seek LS&Co. design approval for each new season.

6. Products; Quality Control

6.1 High Quality of Products; Submission of Samples. All Products shall be of highest quality and consistent with that associated with Trademarks, and that all Products shall be free of defects in design, materials, and workmanship. Licensee shall not market or sell any Products without first obtaining LS&Co.’s approval of the Products through the process described herein. Licensee shall submit to LS&Co., at Licensee’s sole expense, [***] Samples of each different style of a Product prior to any commercial production of that Product. Samples shall be delivered for the fall and spring seasons, twice each Annual Period. The Samples shall comprise every Style in the line, delivered by December 1, (for Fall Samples), and June 1 (for Spring Samples). LS&CO. shall pay for any additional Samples it requests at a price equal to Licensee’s first factory cost for the item. If LS&CO. rejects a Sample, whether on the basis of Trademark use, style, design, dimensions, details, colors, materials, workmanship, quality or otherwise, it shall give Licensee a brief explanation of the reasons for the rejection, and may make suggestions for modifying the Sample. Licensee shall promptly correct such Sample and resubmit it for LS&Co.’s approval through the same process. “Sample” means a prototype or actual sample of a Product from which commercial production shall be made; a Sample shall reflect key product attributes including, without limitation, the type and quality of materials, colors and workmanship. LS&Co. shall have no obligation to approve, review or consider any Sample the submission of which did not comply with the required submission procedure. Licensee shall either destroy Samples or dispose of them through methods (for example, deposit in a sample archive or an employee sample sale) which do not involve placement into the marketplace.

6.2 Compliance with Sample. Licensee shall present for sale, through the showing of each seasonal collection to the trade, Products identical in all respects to approved Samples. Licensee shall ensure that all Products manufactured and sold by Licensee adhere in all respects (including, without limitation, use of Trademarks, materials, colors, workmanship, dimensions, styling, detail and quality) to Samples approved by LS&Co. If any Product is, in the sole discretion of LS&Co., not being manufactured or sold in adherence to the Trademark uses, styles, designs, dimensions, details, colors, materials, workmanship and quality embodied in the Samples or otherwise approved by LS&Co., LS&Co. shall notify Licensee in writing and Licensee shall immediately stop selling the Product, and either (i) change the Product to so conform as confirmed by LS&Co. or (ii) dispose of remaining inventory by selling the Products as Seconds to those Approved Retailers approved under this Agreement or by destroying the Products.

6.3 Withdrawal of Approval. LS&Co. shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to withdraw its approval of a Product, whether or not the Product is complying. Upon receipt of written notice from LS&Co. of its decision to withdraw approval, Licensee shall immediately stop selling the Product as a First Quality Product and instead sell the Product as a Second Quality Product only to those Approved Retailers of Second Quality Products. Licensee may, however, complete work in progress and utilize materials on hand

[***] Indicates portions of this exhibit that have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.

provided that it submits proof of that work in progress to LS&Co. and sells those Products as Closeouts to Second Quality Approved Retailers.

6.4 Production Line. Upon written request by LS&Co., Licensee shall provide to LS&Co., at Licensee's expense, one full production line of the initial season’s collection of Products, including each different Style of a Product. Licensee shall provide to LS&Co. additional production lines or portions of lines of Products at LS&Co.’s written request upon payment by LS&Co. of an amount equal to Licensee's first factory cost for the Products.

6.5 Second Quality Products. In the case of Seconds, Licensee, if possible given the nature of the Product, shall remove the Trademarks from the Product or prominently xxxx all such Products with the legend “second” or “irregular,” or a red-line. Licensee may then sell such Seconds only to the Second Quality Approved Retailers. Licensee shall not sell any Products incorporating any labels or other identification bearing any of the Trademarks as seconds, damaged or defective merchandise without first obtaining LS&Co.’s approval.

6.6 Other Product Characteristics; Product Safety Standards; Animal Welfare. Licensee shall ensure that (i) all Products shall be suitable for their intended purposes; that no injurious, unlawfully flammable, poisonous, deleterious, or toxic substances or materials relating to hazardous substances (“Hazardous Substances”) or any of the chemicals identified in the LS&Co. Restricted Substance List available, as updated from time to time, at xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/xxx-xx-xx-xxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxx-xxxxxxxxxxx/ (the “RSL”), shall be used in or on the Products; (ii) the Products in normal or foreseeable use shall not harm the user; and (iii) and that the Products shall be manufactured, advertised, labeled, sold and distributed in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Act, Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 and any related legislative updates, and in accordance with LS&Co. standards relating to flammability, detachable hardware, the Youthwear Product Safety Process, if applicable, and other matters. In addition, Licensee shall ensure that all Products are sourced in compliance with LS&Co.’s Animal Welfare Policy, as updated from time to time, at xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/xxx-xx-xx-xxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxx-xxxxxxxxxxx/.

Licensee shall not sell any Product that does not meet the requirements of this section. Should Licensee become aware (or receive notice from LS&Co.), that any Product does not or no longer meets the requirements of this section, Licensee shall immediately cease selling or in any way distributing that Product. Upon request from LS&Co. from time to time, Licensee or its subcontractor shall verify that no Hazardous Substances or restricted substances are contained in the Products, and that products sourced from animals comply with LS&Co.’s Animal Welfare Policy. Licensee will maintain sufficient quality control standards to ensure compliance with the above and will provide documentation to LS&Co. demonstrating, to LS&Co.’s satisfaction, the effectiveness of such standards. For the sake of clarity, Licensee shall be responsible for maintaining compliance at all times with LS&Co. standards, as described in this Agreement, the RSL, and within the Animal Welfare Policy, which may be updated from time to time.

[***] Indicates portions of this exhibit that have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.

7.2 Designation of Design Personnel. Licensee shall at all times employ designer(s) (“Designer(s)”), reasonably satisfactory to LS&Co., who shall be responsible for oversight of Product design, direction and development. The initial Designer(s) may be designated on a Schedule.

7.3 Approval Right as to Certain Personnel. LS&Co. will have the ongoing right to approve or reasonably disapprove of the service of individuals who serve as Licensee’s senior manager and designer(s) as to the role that such individuals play in Licensee’s business. If at any time LS&Co. disapproves of such an individual, Licensee agrees to remove him/her from the role that LS&Co. disapproves.

7.4 Consultation. Licensee and LS&Co. shall make their respective personnel, and shall use reasonable efforts to make the personnel of any of their contractors, sub-licensees, suppliers and other resources, available for consultation with the other party during normal business hours. When requested by LS&Co., Licensee shall make available senior executives of Licensee to discuss matters arising under this Agreement.

7.5 LS&Co. Management Personnel. Upon Licensee’s reasonable request, LS&Co. shall attempt to make key management personnel available to participate in Licensee retailer visits, trade shows, or similar events.

7.7 Non-Solicitation. During the Term and for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter, neither party shall, directly or indirectly, on its own behalf or on the behalf of or in conjunction with any other party, attempt to or actually recruit, solicit, engage in prospective employment discussions, or hire any employee or former employee of the other party that is (a) on the team directly supporting performance under this Agreement or (b) a vice president or higher ranking executive of the other party. Nothing herein shall prevent a hiring party from engaging in any general solicitations for employees or public advertising of employment opportunities not directed at such employees and hiring an employee or former employee responding thereto, provided that such searches are not targeted at the other’s employees.

8. Distribution

8.1 Overview. The retail distribution of products bearing the Trademarks is of critical importance to LS&Co. Such distribution affects the ability of LS&Co. to, among other things, reach the target consumers of the Brand, maintain the reputation and integrity of the Trademarks, enhance the image of the Brand and facilitate consistency in product presentation and assortment. Those concerns, and LS&Co.’s commercial need to maintain flexibility in its distribution strategies and policies, underlie the provisions of this Section 8. Accordingly, Licensee shall market, sell, and distribute Products in the Territory in accordance with its provisions. Retailers approved by LS&Co. as First Quality Approved Retailers and Second Quality Approved Retailers (including any MFO Retailers) and identified as such on a Schedule, respectively are referred to as “Approved Retailers.” Sales of Products through e-commerce websites maintained by Approved Retailers that are already authorized by LS&Co. to sell the Products on their e-commerce platform as of

[***] Indicates portions of this exhibit that have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.

the Effective Date shall be deemed approved and a Permissible Website under Section 8.7(b); provided, however, that LS&Co. shall have the right at any time to disapprove such e-commerce sales. All other e-commerce sales of Products require the prior written approval of LS&Co.

8.2 First Quality Products. Licensee may market, sell and distribute First Quality Products only to: (i) First Quality Approved Retailers and (ii) LS&Co. and its Affiliates.

Such approvals and distribution of updated exhibits may be made via email.

Licensee recognizes that LS&Co. may from time to time change its distribution profile and account policies, or take actions in implementing and enforcing its account policies, and that such actions may result in the withdrawal of approvals.

Licensee shall not make any statement or compromise, institute any suit nor take any action on account of any such infringement or imitations without first obtaining the written consent of LS&Co. to do so. Licensee shall cooperate with LS&Co. in relation to any action or proposed remedial action to combat such infringing or passing off activity, including providing information, cooperation and assistance, and, if requested by LS&Co., at Licensee’s expense, filing or supporting removal requests under the procedures of a Permitted Website, “Take Down” requests under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, or any other such request or demand LS&Co. deems necessary to protect any Intellectual Property of LS&Co.

(which shall include, without limitation, information regarding any affiliation or other relationship between the proposed Approved Distributor and Licensee) and (b) LS&Co. has given Licensee its prior written approval of each proposed Approved Distributor. The Approved Distributors as of the Effective Date are identified in a Schedule.

(a) Licensee acknowledges that approval of each proposed Approved Distributor shall not impose upon LS&Co. any liability for error, omissions, negligence, fraud or other acts of Approved Distributor. Licensee shall ensure that the terms of such agreement do not conflict with the terms of this Agreement, and where necessary or expedient, shall impose upon Approved Distributor any obligations which Licensee is required to abide by, and which may require assistance or cooperation of Approved Distributor(s) to fulfill, including but not limited to compliance with LS&Co.’s GSOG. Licensee shall provide LS&Co. with a copy of each executed agreement with any Approved Distributor.

(b) Licensee’s Responsibility for Approved Distributors.

The license granted under this Agreement applies only to the use of the Trademarks or other Intellectual Property by Licensee in connection with the manufacture, advertising, distribution and sale of Products to retailers approved under Section 8. Licensee is not authorized to use any other trademark or Intellectual

[***] Indicates portions of this exhibit that have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.

Property of LS&Co. or any of its Affiliates or to use any Intellectual Property, including any Trademarks in connection with the manufacture and sale of any other products, the sale of Products to any person or entity other than a retailer approved under Section 8 or for any purpose other than as expressly provided in this Agreement.

11.2 Reservation of Rights. Except as provided herein, rights in and to all Products and any other item furnished to Licensee under this Agreement will be the sole and exclusive property of LS&Co. The parties agree that, if applicable, any Intellectual Property created during the performance of this Agreement will be “works made for hire”. Alternatively, Licensee hereby assigns to LS&Co. all right, title and interest, and all Intellectual Property rights, in and to such Products. If any such Products are not assignable to LS&Co., Licensor hereby grants to LS&Co. an exclusive license to use such Products, including the Intellectual Property rights therein. If requested by LS&Co., Licensor will execute a written assignment and any other documents reasonably necessary for LS&Co. to establish or protect its Intellectual Property rights therein. Additionally, Licensee irrevocably and unconditionally grants to LS&Co. the power and interest to act as Licensee’s attorney-in-fact to execute any and all documents necessary to effectuate or perfect the assignments by Licensee and other rights of LS&Co. under the Agreement. Licensor waives, any and all “moral rights” or equivalent rights in and to the Products and hereby assigns to LS&Co. all such rights.

11.3 Trademarks. LS&Co. owns the Trademarks and any related registrations or applications. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, LS&Co. reserves all right, title and interest in and to the Trademarks for its own use or for the use of any other licensee, whether within or outside the Territory, in connection with any and all products and services. By way of example and not of limitation, Licensee understands and agrees that: (i) LS&Co. may manufacture, or authorize third parties to manufacture, in the Territory, Products for ultimate sale outside the Territory; and (ii) LS&Co. may grant licenses to others in the Territory in connection with products similar to the Products except for Products bearing the Trademarks manufactured and sold to Approved Retailers.

11.4 No Sublicense. Licensee shall not grant to any third party any right, permission, license, or sublicense with respect to any of the rights granted under this Agreement. Licensee may enter into a sublicense agreement or purchase order arrangement with a third party with whom Licensee contracts for the manufacture of Products (but only for sale within the Territory and subject to the terms of this Agreement), provided that that sublicense or purchase order limits use of the Trademarks to only those uses as may be necessary for the manufacture of Products for Licensee under this Agreement. Use of contractors shall in no way limit or otherwise affect Licensee’s obligations under this Agreement; Licensee shall be responsible for all contractors and shall take all steps necessary to ensure that contractors maintain the level of quality required under this Agreement and otherwise comply with its terms. Licensee shall ensure that all sundry items and other materials bearing the Trademarks used by Licensee or any contractor are used only for purposes of manufacture of Products, that Licensee and any contractors take appropriate steps to prevent the loss, duplication or improper use of these sundries and materials and that Licensee or any contractor not use these sundries and materials in making products for Licensee other than the Products or for the account of any party other than Licensee

11.5 Other Uses; No Derivatives. Licensee shall not use, nor permit any other person or entity in its control to use, the words "Levi Xxxxxxx & Co." “Dockers”, or “Levi’s“ any of the Trademarks or any combination, form or derivative of a Trademark, as part of a corporate or division name or trade name, or in any domain name, URL, social

media account, or as part of any other form or method of identifying or linking to any internet site whatsoever, or in a way that creates the impression that Licensee and LS&Co. are related parties. Licensee shall not use any Trademarks in such a way so as to give the impression that the names "Levi Xxxxxxx & Co." “Dockers” or "Levi’s" or such Trademarks, or any combination, form or derivative of a Trademark, is the property of Licensee. Neither the Products nor any labeling or packaging shall bear any of Licensee’s marks or other identifiers except for the Trademarks or except as required by law, except as may be specifically directed by LS&Co. with respect to disclosure of Trademark ownership and existence of the licensing relationship (for example, “this product is manufactured under license from Levi Xxxxxxx & Co.”). Licensee shall not leverage the reputation and goodwill of the Trademarks or LS&Co. in connection with or otherwise to influence the sales or distribution of any other brand it manufactures or sells.

11.6 No Use for Publicity. Except as requested by LS&Co., Licensee shall not manufacture, sell or distribute Products for use for publicity purposes (other than publicity of Products), in combination sales, as premiums or giveaways, or to be disposed of through similar methods of merchandising. LS&Co. reserves the right to authorize the manufacture and sale of Products as part of a combination sale, premium or giveaway with products (other than Products) bearing the LS&Co. name or Trademarks. These Products, however, shall not: (i) be substantially similar to Products distributed by the Licensee or (ii) unreasonably interfere with Licensee’s distribution of Products. If LS&Co. desires to authorize the manufacture of Products for these purposes, LS&Co. shall provide Licensee notice and a first right of negotiation for the manufacturing work. If LS&Co. and Licensee fail to reach a mutually acceptable agreement within ten (10) days after such notice is given, LS&Co. may negotiate and enter into an agreement with a third party for the manufacture of those Products.

11.7 Rights to Trademarks. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that its use of the Trademarks shall at all times be in its capacity as a licensee of LS&Co. and all such use shall inure to the benefit of LS&Co. Uses of the Trademarks shall not vest in Licensee any right or title to the Trademarks or any right to use or continue use except as provided in this Agreement. For purposes of trademark registrations, sales by Licensee or LS&Co. shall be considered to have been made by LS&Co. Licensee shall not, during the Initial Term of this Agreement, the Renewal Term, if any, or after its expiration or termination: (i) challenge LS&Co.’s title or rights in and to the Trademarks in any jurisdiction, or challenge the validity of this license or of the Trademarks, or (ii) contest the fact that Licensee's rights under this Agreement (x) are solely those of a licensee entitled to produce and sell products under contract and (y) terminate upon termination or expiration of this Agreement. Licensee acknowledges that only LS&Co. may file and prosecute a trademark application or applications to register any of the Trademarks, and that decisions regarding any official filing, prosecution, maintenance, or any other such assertion or protection of rights in the Trademarks may be made by LS&Co. in its sole discretion.

11.8 Standards. Licensee shall maintain the high standards associated with the Trademarks in all marketing, packaging and promotion of the Products. LS&Co. may issue uniform rules and regulations relating to the manner of use of the Trademarks. Licensee shall comply with these rules and regulations. Licensee shall take all appropriate actions, and all actions reasonably requested by LS&Co., to prevent improper use of the Trademarks, in advertising, point of sale presentations, online or otherwise by Approved Retailers and any others who come into possession of the Products, and by subcontractors, vendors and any other entities or persons engaged by Licensee in connection with this Agreement.

11.12 Infringement.

(a) Licensee shall promptly notify LS&Co. in writing of any use it learns of which may be infringements or imitations by others of the Trademarks on articles similar to Products, and of any uses which may be infringements or imitations by others of the related designs, design patents and copyrights or any Intellectual Property of LS&Co. LS&Co. shall have the sole right to determine whether or not any action shall be taken on account of infringements or imitations of its Intellectual Property. Licensee shall not institute any suit or take any action unless LS&Co. in its sole discretion authorizes Licensee to do so. Licensee shall not attempt to register any infringing or confusingly similar trademark or corporate name, and shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that no third party infringes

Except for Innovations that existed before the Agreement Date, all such Innovations, including developed in collaboration with LS&Co., its Affliiates and/or its partners, will be and hereby are deemed to be LS&CO.’s sole and exclusive property (“LS&Co. Innovations”). To the fullest extent permitted by law, LS&Co. will own all right, title, and interest in and to all LS&Co. Innovations. The LS&Co. Innovations will be works made for hire to the maximum extent permitted by law. If any of the LS&Co. Innovations do not qualify as works made for hire, Licensee assigns to LS&Co. all right, title and interest in and to such LS&Co. Innovations and all extensions and renewals thereof. If requested by LS&Co., Licensee will execute a written assignment of such rights to LS&Co. and any other documents necessary for LS&Co. to establish or protect its rights in and to such LS&Co. Innovations. If Licensee has any rights to the LS&Co. Innovations that cannot be assigned to LS&Co., Licensee unconditionally and irrevocably assigns the enforcement of such rights to LS&Co. and grants LS&Co., its affiliates, subcontractors, agents and assignees, an exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, universal, fully paid up, royalty-free license (with the right to sublicense through multiple levels of sublicensees), under all intellectual property rights, to make, sell, use, execute, reproduce, modify, adapt, display, perform, distribute, make derivative works of, export, disclose, market, promote, sell and otherwise disseminate or transfer any and all rights in and to the LS&Co. Innovations.

11.14 Cooperation. Licensee shall, at LS&Co.’s expense (provided that LS&Co. shall not be responsible for Licensee’s internal cost of the time and effort expended by Licensee’s officers and employees in connection with furnishing such assistance), assist and cooperate with LS&Co. in securing and preserving LS&Co.’s rights in and to the Trademarks and in and to the designs, design patents or copyrights described in Section 11.10. LS&Co. may commence or prosecute any claims or suits in its own name and may join Licensee as a party in these proceedings.

12. Diligence; Other Relationships

12.1 Diligence. Licensee shall use its best efforts to exploit throughout the Territory the license granted and to maintain the established prestige and goodwill of the Trademarks and the reputation, standards and image of LS&Co.

and distribution facilities for Products to ensure exploitation of the license and timely and complete performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

12.2 Other Licenses. Licensee’s and its Affiliates’ Other Relationships are designated in a Schedule. During the Term, Licensee and its Affiliates shall not, except as approved in writing by LS&Co. in its sole discretion, become a party to any additional license, sublicense or similar agreement giving Licensee or its Affiliates the right to manufacture or sell, and Licensee and its Affiliates shall not manufacture or sell, any Competitive Products bearing trademarks of or otherwise on behalf of National Branded Trademarks and Private Label-Captive Trademarks without prior written approval from Licensor, provided, however, that Licensee and its Affiliates shall have rights to manufacture and sell products as a supplier for those Private Label-Captive Trademarks. In addition, if Licensee or its Affiliates intend to enter into any license or sublicense agreement giving Licensee the right to manufacture and sell any Competitive Products, Licensee shall notify LS&Co. in writing of its intention as soon as practicable, but in no event less than thirty (30) days prior to Licensee or its Affiliates executing or entering into that license or sublicense agreement. LS&Co. reserves the right to modify any exhibit in a Schedule designating National Branded Trademarks and Private Label-Captive Trademarks in its sole discretion once per Annual Period upon thirty (30) days written notice to Licensee.

13.2 Effectiveness and Cure. If any Event of Default specified in Sections 13.1 (a), (b), (c), (e), (f), (g), (h), (j), (l), (o), (p), (r), or (t) occurs, then LS&Co. may immediately terminate this Agreement, with that termination effective upon delivery of notice to Licensee. If any other Event of Default occurs, or if LS&Co. decides not to terminate immediately the Agreement in respect of an Event of Default specified in Sections 13.1 (a), (b), (c), (e), (f), (g), (h), (j), (l), (o), (p), (r), or (t) then Licensee, upon written notice from LS&Co. to Licensee describing the circumstances giving rise to that Event of Default, shall promptly and at its expense cure the Event of Default to the satisfaction of LS&Co. at its sole discretion.

[***] Indicates portions of this exhibit that have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.

exclusivity of the license granted under Section 1.1 or (2) terminate this Agreement upon delivery to Licensee of a written notice to that effect, with that termination effective upon delivery of notice to Licensee. It is understood and agreed that Licensee shall not have a right to cure if there occurs a second Event of Default under the same subsection of Section 13.1 within two (2) years of a prior Event of Default that did not, because of cure or otherwise, result in termination of this Agreement. For purposes of clarity, upon removing exclusivity under this Section 13.2, LS&Co. shall be permitted to manufacture, advertise, distribute or sell Products to Approved Retailers for resale by those Approved Retailers within the Territory or designate other third parties to do the same. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if LS&Co. opts to remove exclusivity under this Section 13.2 and another Event of Default occurs thereafter, then LS&Co. shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement, with that termination effective upon delivery of notice to Licensee.

14. Consequences of Termination

14.1 No Stockpiling. During the last six (6) months of the Term, Licensee shall not manufacture a quantity of Products that is more that [***] percent ([***]%) of the quantity manufactured of each Licensed Product SKU for the six (6) month period preceding the final six (6) months of the Term.

14.2 Option to Purchase. Licensee shall give LS&Co., no later than ten (10) days following the termination of this Agreement (including by reason of expiration), a listing of all Products on hand or in process. LS&Co. may conduct a physical review of all finished and unfinished Products and roll goods, labels, raw materials, sundries, embellishments, packaging, transparencies, films and echtachromes that are used in connection with the manufacture and packaging of the Products, artwork and negatives or transparencies previously used or to be used in connection with the designs for the upcoming season and prototypes and samples of the Products (collectively, the “Termination Inventory”). LS&Co. or its designee shall have the option (but not the obligation) in its sole discretion to purchase from Licensee either or both of: (i) all or a portion of the finished Products and Samples and (ii) all or a portion of the other Termination Inventory. If LS&Co. wishes to make a purchase, LS&Co. shall notify Licensee of its or its designee’s intention to exercise the option within thirty (30) days of delivery after receipt of the Termination Inventory listing. LS&Co. shall pay Licensee for any finished Products and Samples at a price equal to actual manufacturing cost for those Products and Samples. LS&Co. shall pay an amount equal to Licensee’s book value for any remaining items other than labeling and packaging materials bearing the Trademarks, which Licensee shall turn over to LS&Co. without payment by LS&Co. Licensee shall at its expense deliver the purchased items to LS&Co. within fifteen (15) days after receipt of LS&Co.’s exercise notice, with LS&CO. to pay the purchase price to Licensee within ten (10) days after delivery of the purchased items. LS&Co. shall be entitled to deduct from the purchase price any amounts owed it by Licensee.

14.3 Disposal of Termination Inventory. If LS&Co. chooses not to purchase all of the Products included in the Termination Inventory, then Licensee, for a period of ninety (90) days after expiration or exercise of LS&Co.’s option, may dispose of Products which are on hand or in the process of being manufactured at the time of termination, to persons approved to purchase Products under Section 8 and otherwise in accordance with this Agreement. If, however, LS&Co. notifies Licensee that LS&Co. or a new licensee is selling Products during that ninety (90) day period, or if the termination is by reason of an Event of Default described in Section 13.1 (h) or (j), then Licensee shall dispose of Products only to those Approved Retailers approved under Section 8.3. Licensee shall pay Earned Royalties on such sales as provided in Section 3. Licensee shall have

[***] Indicates portions of this exhibit that have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.

no right to so dispose of Products unless it has complied with the provisions of this Section 14.

14.4 Termination of Licenses. Upon termination of this Agreement, all rights granted to Licensee under this Agreement, including, without limitation, all license rights under Section 11.10 with respect to designs, artworks, sketches and other materials, together with rights to use the Trademarks, shall automatically and without consideration or further action terminate and revert to LS&Co. Licensee shall, except as required in connection with disposal of Products included in the Termination Inventory as provided in Section 14.3: (i) stop and refrain from all use of the Trademarks or any marks specified by LS&Co. in its sole discretion as being similar to the Trademarks; (ii) stop and refrain from further use of any of Product designs; (iii) stop and refrain from manufacturing, selling or distributing any products (whether or not they bear the Trademarks) which are similar to, or derived from, the Products or designs; and (iv) dispose of all sundries, labels, packaging and other materials bearing the Trademarks in a manner approved by LS&Co. Licensee shall cause all distribution and/or sublicense agreements or arrangements that Licensee has entered into in connection with this Agreement to immediately terminate upon termination of this Agreement.

14.5 Certain Events. No assignee for the benefit of creditors, custodian, receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, sheriff or any other officer of the court or official charged with responsibility for taking custody of Licensee’s assets or business may continue this Agreement or exploit or use any of the Trademarks following the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 13 and 18, if, under the bankruptcy code or successor similar law, a trustee in bankruptcy of Licensee, or Licensee, as debtor, is permitted to assume this Agreement and does so and, thereafter, desires to assign this Agreement to a third party in accordance with the bankruptcy code, the trustee or Licensee, as the case may be (in either case, the “Debtor”), shall notify LS&Co. The notice shall set out the name and address of the proposed assignee, the proposed consideration for the assignment and all other relevant data about the proposed assignment. The giving of this notice shall constitute the grant to LS&Co. of an option to have this Agreement assigned to LS&Co. or to LS&Co.’s designee for the consideration, or its equivalent in money, and upon the terms specified in the notice. The option may be exercised only by notice given by LS&Co. to the Debtor no later than thirty (30) days after LS&Co.’s receipt of the notice from the Debtor unless a shorter period is deemed appropriate by the court in the bankruptcy proceeding. If LS&Co. does not exercise its option in a timely manner, then the Debtor may complete the assignment, but only if the assignment is to the entity named in the notice and for the consideration and upon the terms specified in the notice. Nothing in this Section 14.5 is intended to impair any rights which LS&Co. may have as a creditor in the bankruptcy proceeding.

14.6 Transition Cooperation; Other Licenses. Licensee shall cooperate with LS&Co. during the transition period following a termination of this Agreement, including, for example, signing any documents requested by LS&Co. to accomplish or confirm the outcomes (for example, reversions or assignments of license or other intellectual property rights) contemplated by Section 14. The right of Licensee to sell items of Termination Inventory is non-exclusive and shall not limit LS&Co.’s rights to sell such items of Termination Inventory or to enter into other licenses or transactions.

14.7 Remedies; Other Licenses; No Other Obligations

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 13), LS&Co. shall have all the rights and remedies which it may

[***] Indicates portions of this exhibit that have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.

have, at law or in equity, with respect to the termination of this Agreement, removing exclusivity of the license, the collection of royalties or other amounts payable by Licensee under this Agreement, the enforcement of all rights relating to the establishment, maintenance or protection of the Trademarks and the designs created or used under this Agreement or in respect of damages or equitable relief in connection with breach of this Agreement by Licensee, it being understood that termination under Section 13 shall not be considered an exclusive remedy or in any way limit LS&Co. from enforcing other rights or remedies, and that all decisions under Section 13 by LS&Co. may be made by LS&Co. in its sole discretion.

(b) Licensee shall under no circumstance be entitled, directly or indirectly, to any form of compensation or indemnity from LS&Co. or to obtain an injunction, specific performance or other equitable remedy as a consequence of the termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, including, without limitation, the circumstances contemplated by Section 13. Licensee waives any claims it may have against LS&Co. arising from any alleged goodwill created by Licensee for the benefit of Licensee or LS&Co. or from the alleged creation or increase of a market for Products or other items bearing the Trademarks.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, LS&Co. shall have the right, exercisable at any time, to negotiate and enter into agreements with third parties under which it may grant a license to use the Trademarks in connection with the manufacture, distribution and sale of Products in the Territory, or to enter into whatever other transactions it desires for the use of the Trademarks on Products without any obligation of any kind to Licensee, if under such agreement the Products shall be sold after the date of expiration or termination of the Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent any such third party licensee from showing these Products and accepting orders prior to the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

(d) It is understood and agreed that: (i) neither Licensee nor LS&Co. shall be, as a result of entry into or performance under this Agreement obligated to renew or extend this Agreement (other than as provided by Section 2.2 or a Schedule) or business relationship in any respect, or to negotiate any such renewal or extension, or, on the part of LS&Co., to offer a “first right of negotiation” or “right of refusal” for a renewed or new license; and (ii) subject to Section 12.2, Licensee shall be free to engage in negotiations and to enter into agreements with other licensors or otherwise committing Product-devoted resources, to commence upon expiration of this Agreement.

15. Indemnity

15.1 LS&Co. Indemnity. Except for matters as to which Licensee is required to indemnify LS&Co. under Section 15.2, LS&Co. shall indemnify and hold harmless Licensee and its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents against any and all liability, claims, causes of action, suits, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s' fees and expenses in disputes or proceedings involving third parties or between LS&Co. and Licensee) which Licensee is or becomes liable for, or may incur solely by reason of its use within the Territory, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, of the Trademarks or the designs furnished to Licensee by LS&Co., to the extent that such liability arises through infringement of another’s trademark rights (collectively, "LS&Co. Indemnified Claim"). If any LS&Co. Indemnified Claim shall be brought or asserted against Licensee in respect of which indemnity may be sought from LS&Co. under this Section 15.1, Licensee shall notify LS&Co. in writing not later than the earlier of ten (10) days before a response is due or thirty (30) days after Licensee receives

[***] Indicates portions of this exhibit that have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.

notice of the LS&Co. Indemnified Claim, and LS&Co. shall assume and direct the defense thereof. A failure or delay by Licensee in giving this notice shall not reduce or otherwise affect LS&Co.’s indemnification obligations except to the extent that the failure or delay shall have materially prejudiced LS&Co.’s ability to defend or settle the Indemnified Claim. Licensee may, at its own expense, be represented by its own counsel in such action or proceeding.

15.2 Licensee Indemnity. Except for matters as to which LS&Co. is required to indemnify Licensee under Section 15.1, Licensee shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless LS&Co. and its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents against any and all liability, claims, causes of action, suits, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses in disputes or proceedings involving third parties or between LS&Co. and Licensee), which LS&Co. is, or becomes liable for, or may incur, or be compelled to pay by reason of any acts, whether of omission or commission, that may be committed or suffered by Licensee or any of its servants, agents, or employees in connection with Licensee’s performance of this Agreement, including without limitation, Licensee’s use of Licensee’s own designs, advertising and promotional material used by Licensee, manufacture, sale, and consumer use of Products or otherwise in connection with Licensee’s business, including the European Union Directives on product liability or any national regulation related thereto whether that claim is based on laws relating to product liability, consumer protection, environmental protection, tort, contract, trademark, patent, copyright, trade secret, tax, employment, advertising, customs or any other applicable law or basis (collectively, a “Licensee Indemnified Claim”). If any Licensee Indemnified Claim shall be brought or asserted against LS&Co. in respect of which indemnity may be sought from Licensee under this Section 15.2, LS&Co. shall notify Licensee in writing not later than the earlier of ten (10) days before a response is due or thirty (30) days after LS&Co. receives notice of the Licensee Indemnified Claim. A failure or delay by LS&Co. in giving this notice shall not reduce or otherwise affect Licensee’s indemnification obligations, except to the extent that the failure or delay shall have materially prejudiced Licensee’s ability to defend or settle the Licensee Indemnified Claim. LS&Co. may, at its own expense, be represented by its own counsel in such action or proceeding.

15.3 Licensee Indemnified Claim Notification and Handling. Licensee authorizes LS&Co. to act on its behalf to administer the initial consumer claims notification, assessment and processing payment of a claim not to exceed $500 per incidence. Licensee shall reimburse LS&Co. in accordance with the Licensee Indemnity requirements of the Agreement. LS&Co. shall notify Licensee in writing within ten (10) business days after receiving a consumer claim with a potential cost to exceed $500. The election by LS&Co. or its insurance carrier(s) to administer the claim directly or in conjunction with Licensee shall not in any way reduce or otherwise affect Licensee’s or its insurance carrier’s indemnification obligations.

16. Insurance

16.1 Required Coverage. During the Term (and, for claims made coverages, for three years thereafter), Licensee shall maintain the following insurance policies:

A standard Xxxxx Form 25 with thirty (30) days’ notice will be deemed to satisfy this provision.

16.4 Waiver of Subrogation. On behalf of themselves and their insurers, to the extent allowed by their insurance policies and applicable law, Licensee and LS&Co. hereby waive their rights of recovery for loss or damage against each other, their affiliates, and each of their and their affiliates’ respective directors, officers and employees to the extent of any payment of such loss or damage by their own insurance.

16.5 No Limitations. LS&Co. does not represent that the insurance coverages required hereunder, whether in scope of coverage or amounts of coverage, are adequate to protect the obligations of Licensee, and Licensee shall be solely responsible for any deficiencies. Nothing in this Exhibit shall be construed as to limit Licensee’s liability under this Agreement. Any limitation of liability in this Agreement shall not apply to the extent that a loss or event is covered by Licensee’s insurance. The failure of LS&Co. to enforce any term herein shall not act as a waiver or estoppel to do so at any future time unless LS&Co. modifies the provisions of this Agreement in writing in the manner required herein.

17. Confidential Information

17.1 Confidential Information. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all information disclosed by one of the parties (the "Discloser") to the other party (the "Recipient") is considered confidential and: (i) shall remain the exclusive property of the Discloser; (ii) shall be used by the Recipient only in connection with its performance under this Agreement; and (iii) shall be maintained in confidence by Recipient as described

Proprietary Information”.

17.3 Limits on Use and Disclosure. Except as necessary for performing obligations under this Agreement or as specifically authorized by Discloser in writing, and except as required by law, Recipient shall not reproduce, use, distribute, disclose or otherwise disseminate Confidential Information.

LS&Co. may assign its rights and delegate its duties under this Agreement in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, in connection with such a transaction.

18.2 Licensee Assignment. The rights granted to Licensee are personal in nature. Licensee may not assign this Agreement or any rights granted under this Agreement, or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement, without first obtaining the written approval of LS&Co., and any such approval shall be in all cases conditioned on payment of a transactional fee to LS&Co. equal to [***] percent ([***]%) of the total royalties paid by Licensee during the twelve month period leading up to the request for approval (the “Transactional Fee”). Any such assignment without the prior approval of LS&Co. shall be null and void and of no force or effect. Under no circumstances shall Licensee assign or sublicense this Agreement, or the rights granted hereunder to an entity that makes, sells, or offers for sale Competitive Products. Any “Change in Control” of Licensee shall be considered an assignment of this Agreement by Licensee. “Change in Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any reorganization, merger, consolidation, or any such transactions in bankruptcy) in which a person, entity, group, or seller obtains (whether by transfer, assignment, sale, lease, loan, joint venture, investment, or other means) all, or substantially all, or any material portion of the tangible or intangible assets of the Licensee; (ii) any consolidation or merger of Licensee in which Licensee is not the continuing or surviving corporation or after which the shareholders of Licensee on the date of the consolidation or merger cease to hold at least fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of Licensee; (iii) any event or transaction which causes another person, entity, or group to control the composition of Licensee’s board of directors or to hold more than half of the issued share capital of the Licensee; or (iv) any other event which takes from the Licensee as currently constituted the capacity to direct the outcome of a Licensee's financial or operational decision-making. In addition, any transaction or event in which the Licensee itself acquires control of (i) an entity selling Competitive Products, or (ii) a product line, brand or component of a business selling Competitive Products, in any manner (including those set forth above) shall be treated as a Change in Control for the purposes of this Agreement. Licensee shall notify LS&Co. in writing of any contemplated Change in Control at least sixty (60) days prior to the expected date the Change in Control occurs and actual Change in Control within three (3) days after its occurrence. If the prior approval of LS&Co. is not obtained with respect to any Change of Control of Licensee or the Transactional Fee is not paid, LS&Co. shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedies available under this Agreement, in its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement at any time during the ninety (90) day period after the date upon which LS&Co. receives from Licensee notice of the Change in Control or otherwise learns of the Change in Control.

[***] Indicates portions of this exhibit that have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.

disapprovals may be made by LS&Co. in its sole discretion and must be communicated by LS&Co. in writing. If LS&CO. fails to affirmatively approve or disapprove of an item or matter within ten (10) days after submittal to LS&Co., then Licensee shall contact LS&Co. and confirm LS&Co. receipt. Any request for which approval is not given by LS&Co. within twenty-one (21) days after confirmed receipt shall be considered disapproved. LS&Co. shall have no obligation to review items or matters the submission of which did not comply with this submission procedure. It is understood and agreed that LS&Co.'s approval decisions under Sections 4, 5, 6 and 8 of this Agreement may be based solely upon LS&Co.’s subjective standards as to aesthetics and image based upon its requirements for and the reputation and prestige of products bearing the Trademarks, retail distribution of products bearing the Trademarks and its commercial judgment generally. It is understood that Product quality, style of packaging, shipping, customer service, promotion, selling tools, creation and introduction of new products and service and presentation at retail all may bear upon “image” as contemplated by this Section 19.

20. Dispute Resolution

Licensee recognizes that LS&Co. has granted, and may in the future grant, licenses to other parties to use the Trademarks or one or more of LS&Co.'s other trademarks in connection with the manufacture, promotion and sale of apparel, accessories or other items. If Licensee notifies LS&Co. of what it believes is an existing or potential conflict in the definition of Products contained in this Agreement with the definition of merchandise covered by, or the rights of the licensee under, a third-party license agreement, LS&Co. shall consider and resolve the issue by giving Licensee a written notice of its decision. LS&Co.’s decision shall be final and binding upon Licensee. In addition, Licensee acknowledges that due to the nature of the marketplace, the definition of Products may change over time or may not be amenable to precise delineation, whether or not there exists a potentially conflicting second license. Licensee agrees that if there is a dispute with LS&Co. regarding the definition of Products, LS&Co. shall have authority to resolve the dispute in its sole discretion; that decision shall be final and binding upon Licensee.

20.2 Mediation. If there is any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of or relating to interpretation or breach of this Agreement (except controversies, disputes or claims relating to or affecting in any way the ownership of or the validity of the Trademarks or any related registration or application for registration, or fraud by either party), then Licensee and LS&Co. promptly shall use best efforts to settle it.

20.3 Agreement to Arbitrate.

He or she shall be a retired or former judge of any federal court appointed under Article III of the United States Constitution who presided in a court located in the state in which the arbitration is conducted, or a retired or former judge of a trial court of general jurisdiction or a higher court of the state in which the arbitration is conducted. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any State or

[***] Indicates portions of this exhibit that have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.

Federal court having jurisdiction. Any controversy concerning whether a dispute is an arbitrable dispute shall be determined by the arbitrator. Licensee and LS&Co. intend that this agreement to arbitrate be valid, specifically enforceable and irrevocable. The designation of a site or a governing law for this Agreement or the arbitration shall not be deemed an election to preclude application of the Federal Arbitration Act, if it would be applicable. The decision of the arbitrator shall be binding and shall not be subject to judicial review.

20.4 Injunctive Relief; Other Actions. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 20, both Licensee and LS&Co. may request a court of competent jurisdiction to grant provisional injunctive relief solely for the purpose of maintaining the status quo until an arbitrator can render an award on the matter in question and the award can be confirmed by a court having jurisdiction. It is understood and agreed that LS&Co. may seek injunctive relief in matters involving use of the Trademarks or other trademarks of LS&CO. or disclosure of confidential information. It is further understood and agreed that nothing in Sections 20.1, 20.2, 20.3 or 20.4 shall in any way limit LS&Co.’s rights under Sections 13 and 14 to terminate the Agreement upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.

20.5 Expenses. The arbitrator shall award to the prevailing party in any arbitration, and the court shall include in its judgment, if any, for the prevailing party in any claim arising under this Agreement, the prevailing party's costs and expenses (including, without limitation, expert witness expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses for mediation) of investigating, preparing and presenting such claim or cause of action. LS&Co. and Licensee shall each bear their own expenses incurred in a mediation that does not result in arbitration.

Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the parties in writing, LS&Co. shall not be obligated to order any Products from Licensee or any of Licensee’s Designee(s).

1.2 Pricing. The purchase price for each Product shall be inclusive of all as specified in the Purchase Order, applicable taxes, excises, duties and any other charges related to the manufacture, delivery and sale of Products. The pricing shall be as set forth in Exhibit A hereto and the pricing shall be negotiated annually in good faith by the parties. Once negotiated, pricing will remain unmodified for such year, except that Licensee may request an increase during such year, to reflect an amount necessary to cover any of the increased costs of the raw materials used by Licensee to manufacture the Products. At no point shall the price charged to LS&Co. be greater than the amount previously agreed to in the License Agreement.

1.3 Projections. Licensee agrees that Projections provided by LS&Co. are not binding on LS&CO, and any action taken or omitted by Licensee on the basis of a Projection will be at its own risk and cost.

1.4 Modification or Cancellation of Purchase Order. LS&Co. is entitled to modify a Purchase Order if such change is necessitated by business factors. Licensee agrees to accept LS&CO’s requests for changes in the quantities specified in the relevant Purchase Order so long as those changes fall within Licensee’s production planning possibilities. LS&Co. will notify Licensee of any modification as soon as practicable. Additionally, LS&Co. is entitled to cancel any Purchase Order submitted to the Licensee or Licensee’s Designee, without incurring any liability, by giving notice of such cancellation to the Licensee or Licensee’s Designee at least four (4) weeks before the exit factory date. Licensee may be paid an equitable amount of compensation with respect to such cancellation, provided that the amount paid will not exceed the cost of the Products requested under the relevant Purchase Order. If Products have been manufactured prior to the cancellation, LS&Co. will direct the Licensee about the disposal of such Products.

1.5 Strict Compliance with Purchase Order. Licensee is required to manufacture and deliver the Products specified in the corresponding Purchase Order in strict conformity with its instructions (except for quantities and Seconds, which are addressed in Section 2.4). If the Licensee fails to strictly comply with any delivery instructions, the Products do not meet the standards required under this Agreement, or at any time a representation or warranty made by Licensee in this Agreement is found to be materially incorrect, LS&Co. reserves the right to immediately reject or cancel any and all outstanding Purchase Orders for such Products. Upon such cancellation or rejection, Licensee will: (x) indemnify LS&Co. fully with respect to all losses and expenses incurred in connection with the cancellation, including, without limitation, loss of business, and loss of profits to LS&Co. and/or any of its Affiliates’ commercial images; (y) bear all manufacturing and delivery costs incurred in relation to the cancelled Purchase Order; and (z) at Licensee’s expense, return to LS&Co. or dispose of (as directed by LS&Co.)) any raw materials, equipment supplied by LS&Co., and any cancelled or rejected Products, whether shipped or not.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee shall not sell rejected Products in any market.

2. Delivery.

2.1 The Delivery Method (as set forth in each Purchase Order), the Shipping Procedures and the Packaging Guidelines will be binding upon the parties for each Purchase Order, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the parties.

Licensee agrees to indemnify LS&Co against all losses, fees, claims and damages suffered by LS&Co and/or its Affiliates as a result of Licensee’s or Licensee’s Designee’s non-compliance with the Shipping Procedures, Delivery Method or Packaging Guidelines.

2.2 If indicated by the Delivery Method, Licensee must deliver Products to LS&Co or to the party specified in the relevant Purchase Order only by Designated Carriers and Designated Customs Brokers (as specified by LS&Co.).

and brokers who possess the requisite skills and experience; and (c) shall be solely responsible for managing and communicating to LS&Co. the status of the shipment’s movement up until the agreed-upon point of title transfer, including, without limitation, providing exception management and transmission of shipment data in the required format to an LS&Co. event management application.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, LS&Co. may provide less than 30 days’ notice for air freight delivery and any other special circumstances including direct shipping and/or DC bypass shipments based on updated demand triggers. Any variation and the associated change in price agreed between the parties will be effective on Licensee’s receipt of the written variation notice from LS&Co. Early deliveries must be consented to in advance by LS&Co. Under no circumstances will any approved early delivery affect the originally agreed upon price and payment terms.

2.4 (a) Quantities: Variations in Product quantity (up or down) at delivery in an amount greater than [***]% of the total quantity specified in the Purchase Order, must be approved in advance in writing by LS&Co. Only First Quality Products are considered when calculating the allowed percentage. Any delivery where the quantity of First Quality Product is less than the quantity specified in the relevant Purchase Order after the allowed percentage variation may be rejected by LS&Co. in its sole discretion. Further, LS&Co. may require that Licensee provide additional Product on an expedited basis to cure for any under supply of [***]% or more. All Products delivered in excess of the quantity specified in the relevant Purchase Order, in excess of the allowed percentage for over shipment, may be rejected by LS&Co. in its sole discretion. After three or more Purchase Orders with over-shipments or under-shipments in any six month period, regardless of whether the [***]% threshold is met, LS&Co. may reduce the [***]% threshold to as low as [***]%, or authorize a third- party to purchase excess Products resulting from over shipment from Licensee at [***]% of the agreed FOB price.

(b) Seconds: Seconds that are not accepted for delivery by LS in accordance with the terms of this Addendum must be properly marked, recorded and stored at a secure location, shall be subject to inspection and audit by LS&Co. representatives, and disposed/distributed by Licensee only in accordance with LS&Co.’s instructions, which may include, without limitation, selling them to an LS&Co. Affiliate or agent nominated by LS&Co. Licensee shall refer to and comply with LS&Co. Seconds & Thirds Policy available on the Supplier Portal, as updated from time to time.

(1) Licensee is only allowed a certain NAS by Purchase Order. If Licensee does not exceed the NAS for a Purchase Order, then Seconds delivered under that Purchase Order will be invoiced by Licensee at [***]% of the applicable per unit price.

(2)In case Licensee, for any given Purchase Order, exceeds the NAS, LS&Co. shall be entitled, at its full discretion, to either reject all such Seconds exceeding the NAS or to receive all such Products exceeding the NAS at a discount to be decided at LS&Co.’s discretion.

[***] Indicates portions of this exhibit that have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.

(3) Notwithstanding this Section 2.4(b), Licensee must use best efforts to deliver only First Quality Products in each Purchase Order.

(4) Thirds will not be invoiced by Licensee and will be disposed of according to LS&CO’s instructions.

2.5 If Products will be shipped internationally, Licensee will provide LS&Co. with all documentation required by the country of destination’s customs service, and will provide all necessary documents required for LS&Co. to be exempt from import duties and tariffs in the country of destination. All shipping documents required by law or requested by LS&Co. will be presented by Licensee. The Licensee will indemnify LS&Co. for any costs or expenses associated with any errors or omissions in the documentation caused by Licensee’s negligence or willful misconduct.

2.6 Licensee will immediately notify LS&Co. of any event or delays likely to affect delivery dates and will use its best efforts to avoid or mitigate the effects of any delays.

2.7 Time is of the essence for each Purchase Order created under this Agreement. If Products are delivered more than ten (10) business days after the delivery date set forth in the relevant Purchase Order (the “Delivery Date”) for any reason other than a Force Majeure Event, the Total PO Price will be reduced by [***]%. If Products are delivered more than fifteen (15) business days after the Delivery Date for any reason other than a Force Majeure Event, the Total PO Price will be reduced by [***]%. LS&Co. has the right to reject Products (in whole or in part) and cancel any Purchase Order if all or part of the Products ordered thereby are delivered more than twenty (20) business days after the relevant Delivery Date. Alternatively, LS&Co. may accept delivery with a Total PO Price discounted in an amount greater than [***]%, as agreed between the parties.

2.8 In addition and without prejudice to Section 2.8 above, should Licensee experience delays in supplying Products under any Purchase Order, Licensee shall, at its own expense, take all appropriate expedited shipping measures (e.g. air freight or express courier service) in order to comply with the relevant Delivery Date or to minimize the delay and, where applicable, indemnify LS&Co. for all expenses and damages incurred as a result of a late delivery. Alternatively, LS&Co. may, at its option, take actions to expedite delivery and LS&Co. may reduce the amount payable to Licensee under the relevant Purchase Order in an amount equal to the cost of such measures.

2.9 In the event of a Deficient Delivery (whether from Licensee or Licensee’s Designee), LS&Co. shall notify Licensee and Licensee will promptly take all necessary steps to correct the Deficient Delivery and shall, at all times, be fully liable for all costs and charges arising thereto including without limitation, the cost of re-delivery, replacement of Products and any shipping/packaging/handling charges and the cost of any corrective actions to remedy the Deficient Delivery where VCOM Charges are incurred, LS&Co. reserves the right to deduct such charges from Licensee’s invoices.

Introduction

Our success as a company is built upon a foundation of integrity – a longstanding commitment to act with the highest ethical standards and to conduct business honestly and legally. Our Worldwide Code of Business Conduct reflects this commitment, offering guidelines and standards that define how we run our business.

The Global Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy focuses on two of the Worldwide Code of Business Conduct standards: “Compliance with Laws, Rules and Regulations” and “Government Officials”. Its purpose is to help LS&CO. employees worldwide identify and avoid situations that could potentially violate anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws.

Understanding anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws is not always easy. Employees must be familiar with the rules described in this policy and regularly refresh their understanding of these rules. If this policy does not give you enough guidance on how to proceed in a particular situation, consult your Regional Compliance Officer or the Chief Compliance Officer whose contact details are in Section K.

Bribery is illegal and will expose both you and LS&CO. to fines and other penalties including imprisonment. It is also against our company values. For these reasons, compliance with this policy is mandatory for all employees of LS&CO. worldwide.

If you are aware of any employee who is involved in acts of bribery, you must report such conduct without delay to your Regional Compliance Officer or the Chief Compliance Officer. LS&CO. strictly prohibits retaliation against anyone for raising or helping to address this type of issue.

LS&CO. is committed to complying with such laws in all countries where it operates or where its products are sold or sourced. We all share responsibility for complying with this policy. I count on your support.

Thank you,

Xxxx Xxxxx

President and

Chief Executive Officer

Levi Xxxxxxx & Co.

A. Policy Statement and Scope

1. Overall Statement of Policy

LS&CO. will only conduct business in compliance with the law. This means that we will not authorize, pay, promise or offer to give anything to a government official or to any private party in order to improperly influence that individual to act favorably towards LS&CO. We will not request or authorize any third party to make any such payment, promise or offer. This policy thus prohibits promising, offering, or giving anything of value to any party, including a customer, potential customer, business provider, or potential business provider, with the intention or appearance of improperly influencing its business decisions. Such behavior constitutes bribery and is unacceptable business conduct wherever LS&CO. operates or wherever its products are sold or sourced.

Failure to comply with any provision of this policy or other related company policy is a serious violation, and may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination, as well as civil or criminal charges.


2.	Scope of the Policy

This policy defines the minimum standards that all LS&CO. employees worldwide must observe when dealing with government officials and also with private parties. If you are in a situation that may raise anti-bribery concerns or if you are uncertain about how to proceed, consult your manager, Regional Compliance Officer or the Chief Compliance Officer before acting. Additionally, if you suspect or have reason to suspect that an employee or business partner is even using his or her own funds to make improper payments, you must report your suspicions to your manager, Regional Compliance Officer or the Chief Compliance Officer. If you are uncomfortable raising the issue internally, you can also report your suspicions anonymously through the Ethics and Compliance Reportline.

Laws prohibiting commercial bribery (i.e., bribery of private individuals) also exist in many countries where LS&CO. operates or where its products are sold or sourced. This policy therefore prohibits both commercial bribery, as well as bribery of government officials. Additionally, you should consult the relevant sections of LS&CO.’s Worldwide Code of Business Conduct (see, for example, Conflicts of Interest, Family Members and Gifts), the Chief Compliance Officer or your Regional Compliance Officer. In case of doubt, you should assume that the bribery laws of the country where you work prohibit improper payments or gifts to employees of both government officials and private persons with whom LS&CO. does business.

3. Overview of Applicable Anti-bribery Laws

Applicable anti-bribery laws prohibit payments and offers of things of value to government officials and private persons for an improper purpose. LS&CO. complies with the requirements and restrictions of applicable anti-bribery laws. These laws apply to the worldwide conduct of LS&CO. and its officers, employees and agents, regardless of nationality. Generally, applicable anti-bribery laws prohibit LS&CO. and its officers, employees, agents, contractors and all others who perform services for or on its behalf from:


•	promising, authorizing, giving, or offering payment


•	of money or anything of value (including gifts, means and entertainment and non-cash gifts and other benefits, such as offers of employment, educational placement, and charitable donations to entities related to such individuals)


•	or providing


•	any other benefit


•	directly or indirectly (i.e. through third parties)


•	to a government official or to a private person


•	corruptly to induce the recipient to misuse his or her position or to obtain any


•	improper advantage


•	to win or retain business for LS&CO., or direct business to any person.

Violations of applicable anti-bribery laws can subject both LS&CO. and individual employees to civil and criminal penalties. The penalties for violation of applicable anti-bribery laws include fines and/or imprisonment. Applicable anti-bribery laws may also prohibit a company from reimbursing a director, officer, employee, or consultant for the amount of the fine involved. Individuals may be subject to criminal liability under applicable anti-bribery laws regardless of whether the company has been found guilty or prosecuted for a violation.

In addition, applicable anti-bribery laws and other rules also contain accounting provisions that prohibit the submission of false or misleading records (e.g. misstating the number of guests at a business dinner in an employee expense report). All expenditures must be recorded with sufficient detail to accurately and fairly reflect the transaction and/or disposition of the assets.

Regardless of the customs of a particular country, you must be careful to follow LS&CO. policies, local laws, and U.S. laws regarding doing business with government officials.

B. Who is a Government Official?

A government official includes anyone, regardless of rank, who holds a legislative, administrative or judicial position, whether appointed or elected or anyone who exercises a public function on behalf of any public agency or public enterprise anywhere where in the world, as well as officials or agents of public international organizations. It includes:


§	An officer or employee of any local, provincial or national government; (for example, members of parliament, police officers, firefighters, members of the military, tax authorities, customs inspectors, etc.)


§	A director, officer, representative, agent or employee of any government-owned or controlled business or company (meaning that the government owns at least 30% of the stock or business, or is its largest shareholder, or controls the entity through its management, board membership or other means);


§	An officer or employee of a public international organization (for example, the United Nations, International Olympic Committee, International Red Cross, World Bank, etc.);


§	Any person acting in an official capacity or on behalf of any government or public international organization (for example, an official advisor to a government);


§	Any officer or employee of a political party;


§	Any candidate for political office; and


§	A close relative (for example, parent, sibling, spouse or child) of any of the above.

C. What Are Some Examples of Bribery, Influencing Government Officials, and Improper Actions or Conduct in Favor of LS&CO.?

1. Some examples of bribery include, but are not limited, to the following:


§	Cash, cash equivalents (e.g., gift checks) or loans to government officials, an employee of a client, business partner, (Making such payments to related persons, such as family members or intermediaries may also constitute bribery);


§	Payments for travel or entertainment or other hospitality of any person, their family members or associates, except those allowed under Section D.1 below;


§	Favors, including offers of employment or internships to any person, their family members or associates in circumstances where it might create a sense of obligation on the part of the recipient;


§	Gifts (e.g. perfume, jewelry, use of club membership) to any person, their family members or associates, except those allowed under Section D.2 below;


§	Donations to a charity affiliated with or sponsored by any person, his/her family members or associates; and


§	Political contributions to political parties or candidates.

2. Examples of improperly influencing a person to act favorably towards LS&CO. include, but are not limited to, offering a gift, no matter how small in value where:


§	The person would not act if you did not make the gift, and you give a gift to increase the chances that the person will take such action; and


§	The person has the choice to act or not and makes a decision based on the gift.

3. Examples of providing improper business advantage include, but are not limited to, when a government official:


§	Overlooks a violation or tolerates non-compliance with relevant laws (e.g., environmental or worker safety laws) or company policies;


§	Does not perform a task that should otherwise be performed in accordance with that person’s duties (e.g., does not conduct a required inspection prior to issuing a permit);


§	Reduces customs duties; or


§	Grants a favorable tax treatment.

REMEMBER:


§	The mere appearance of influencing a government official or a private party may be sufficient to trigger an allegation that bribery has been committed.


§	Even an attempt to bribe a government official or a private party is unacceptable. It is still illegal even if the offer is not accepted or the payment does not achieve the desired outcome.


§	Even if there is no intent to exert improper influence over a government official or a private party, there is still a risk if the recipient is unduly influenced, or if the recipient perceives a gift as an attempt to influence him/her to act favorably towards LS&CO.


§	Even the perception of impropriety can cause embarrassment to LS&CO., damage its reputation and force the company to pay exorbitant litigation fees in its defense.

D. Travel, Entertainment and Gifts: Are They Bribes?

You should consult LS&CO’s Global Gifts Policy for our policies in respect of entertainment and gifts to private person, including a customer, potential customer, business provider, or potential business provider. The remainder of this section deals with travel and entertainment in respect of Government Officials.

1. Travel and Entertainment

The nature of LS&CO.’s business makes it unlikely that travel will be required by a government official in the course of legitimate business dealings with LS&CO. In rare instances where travel may be required, you MUST OBTAIN WRITTEN APPROVAL of the Regional Compliance Officer or Chief Compliance Officer before such travel is authorized.

In instances where business entertainment may be required, the following guidelines MUST be followed:


a.	The entertainment expenses must be permitted under local government rules, regulations or policies that apply to the government official(s) in question.


b.	Entertainment must be directly related to a government official’s participation in a business meeting with LS&CO.


c.	Entertainment must be reasonable, measured against (a) the prevailing market rates for similar expenditures; (b) the amount of the expenditure compared to the government official’s salary; and (c) custom, both locally and within the industry. Lavish or expensive travel or entertainment is prohibited.


d.	Entertainment should be limited to no more than $50 per event and no more than $200 total in one calendar year to the same person. In exceptional circumstances, the Regional Compliance Officer or Chief Compliance Officer may authorize an exception to the entertainment limit.


e.	Entertainment should be reasonable and not cause embarrassment to LS&CO. or damage its reputation.


f.	Entertainment, other than routine moderately-priced meals and refreshments, must be provided in an open and transparent manner (for example, by providing the supervisor(s) of the invited party with a formal written invitation that lays out the nature of the expenses and requires a written response); otherwise, it may be viewed as an attempt to influence an official act.


g.	No entertainment can be provided to any family member of a government official.


h.	Do not provide cash allowances or per diems; pay vendors directly for entertainment expenses. In the exceptional circumstance where a person needs to be reimbursed for such expenses, obtain original receipts which should contain itemized descriptions of the expenses incurred; this will ensure that s/he is not also seeking reimbursement from the government.


i.	Book all expenditures accurately in LS&CO. books and maintain records pursuant to section H below.


j.	Do not use personal funds to do something that would be prohibited under this Policy.



Examples of reasonable entertainment	Examples of prohibited entertainment
• Moderately-priced meals or tickets to events (no more than $50 USD per event/meal and not more than $200 total per calendar year to the same government official) during which an LS&CO employee is present and substantial legitimate business matters are discussed. If no LS&CO. employee is present at the event or meal, such entertainment is NOT allowed. • This limit includes entertainment such as karaoke, concerts, or sporting events, as well as coffee, tea, snacks and meals. • For example, if an employee took a government official to a baseball game and later that evening decided to take the same official to dinner, the baseball game and dinner would be considered one “entertainment event”. Therefore, the total cost for both dinner and baseball game should not exceed $50 USD for that person.	• Lavish and costly dinners • Adult entertainment • Frequent entertainment

2. Gifts

Gifts to government officials and private parties are acceptable as long as they comply with the following guidelines:


þ	Gifts must conform with local laws.


þ	Gifts must be of nominal value (maximum value U.S.$50 or local equivalent), and the maximum amount for giving gifts to the same government official per calendar year is U.S.$200. In exceptional circumstances, the Regional Compliance Officer or Chief Compliance Officer may authorize a gift exceeding this limit, provided it is reasonable in value.


þ	Gifts must be given in an open and transparent manner and not to influence a government official’s or a private person’s action or conduct.


þ	Gifts must be infrequent and exclude family members of persons.


þ	All gifts must be properly recorded in LS&CO.’s books and records pursuant to Section H below.


x	Gifts must never be in cash or in cash equivalents.


x	Examples of gifts that typically meet the above requirements and are normally unproblematic include:


o	Small mementos and sales promotional items (e.g., mugs, pens or calendars) bearing LS&CO.’ s trademarks.


o	Customary or seasonal gifts of modest value not exceeding U.S. $50 and applicable under local law (e.g., congratulatory flowers or fruit baskets).

E. Charitable Donations: Are They Bribes?

Bona fide donations made pursuant to LS&CO.’s policies on donations are not bribes because they are made for a purely charitable purpose.

To ensure that no donation is used to camouflage a bribe, and that no donation can be misconstrued as a bribe, any donation given on behalf of LS&CO. should comply with the following guidelines:


§	Any request for a donation must be made in writing and must sufficiently describe the charitable purpose of the donation, any business reason for the donation, and all details about the recipient.


§	The recipient must be screened to ascertain that it is an organization capable of receiving charitable donations under local law.


§	The recipient must be screened to determine that it has no connection to a government official or private person who is in a position to act or make a decision in favor of LS&CO.


§	In case of doubt, a local lawyer of good standing approved in advance by the Legal Department should confirm that the donation is lawful under the written laws and regulations of the country where the donation will be made.


§	The donation must be approved in writing and in advance by the general/country manager or finance director.


§	The recipient must issue a written receipt of the donation specifying the amount and certifying that the donation will not benefit, directly or indirectly, any government official or private person. See Attachment A for the certification form to be signed by the recipient charitable organization.


§	The donation must be accurately recorded in the company’s books and records pursuant to Section H below.

E. Facilitating Payments: What Are These and Are They Allowed?

In some countries, it may be the local practice for businesses to make payments of small amounts to low-level government officials in order to expedite or “facilitate” routine government actions over which such officials have no discretion. Examples of routine, non-discretionary actions include providing police protection, granting visas or utility services, or clearing customs. Such payments are called “facilitating payments”.

Facilitating payments, whether legal or not in a country, are prohibited under this policy.

In extremely limited circumstances, however, LS&CO. may permit facilitating payments. You must consult the Regional Compliance Officer or Chief Compliance Officer BEFORE making or authorizing such a payment. Specific approval for each payment is required. If any such payments are approved, they must be accurately documented in the company’s books and records.

LS&CO. recognizes that its personnel operating outside of the U.S. may confront situations where payment is demanded to avoid physical harm. In these very limited circumstances, “Personal Safety Payments” may be made. Examples of such circumstances include:


•	Being stopped by persons claiming to be police, military, or paramilitary personnel, who demand payment as a condition of passage of persons;


•	Being threatened with imprisonment for a routine traffic or visa violation unless a payment is made; and


•	Being asked by persons claiming to be security personnel, immigration control, or health inspectors to pay for (or to avoid) an allegedly required inoculation or similar procedure.

Only under these or similar circumstances, and only where there is an imminent threat to the health or safety of LS&CO. personnel, may a Personal Safety Payment be made without prior approval.

If the need for a Personal Safety Payment can be anticipated, or if circumstances permit, the Regional Compliance Officer should be consulted before making any payment.

After a Personal Safety Payment is made, and as soon as possible (but no more than seven days) after the danger has passed, the payment must be reported to the Regional Compliance Officer, and on an expense report, reflecting accurately the amount paid, the recipient, the means of payment, and the circumstances under which the payment was made. The Regional Compliance Officer will investigate and document the circumstances surrounding the Personal Safety payment and work with LS&CO. finance department to ensure that the payment is promptly and accurately recorded in LS&CO.’s books and records. A copy of the report documenting the investigation will be provided to the Chief Compliance Officer by the Regional Compliance Officer.

G. Third Parties: Who Are They and Why Should We Care?

Bribery problems often involve third parties. In this policy, any individual or entity acting on behalf of or under the control of LS&CO. (such as agents, distributors, consultants or joint venture partners) is referred to as a “Third Party”.

Because anti-bribery laws prohibit “indirect” as well as direct payments and offers, LS&CO. and you may be held liable for the conduct of a Third Party when we know or reasonably should have known of such party’s unlawful conduct. Turning a “blind eye” or ignoring “red flags” that something may be wrong does not exonerate LS&CO. or you from criminal liability.

Authorizing a Third Party to do something that you cannot do directly is a violation of this policy.

LS&CO is responsible for the actions of third parties where we know, or consciously disregard a high probability, that the third party will offer or make a corrupt payment. Willful blindness (such as by ignoring or failing to investigate warning signs) is no defense. LS&CO is obligated to take adequate steps to prevent bribery when hiring agents and could be liable for any bribe paid by any person “associated” with LS&CO in order to obtain or retain business for LS&CO., or to obtain or retain an advantage in the conduct of business for LS&CO. This includes anyone who “performs a service” for LS&CO., not just official LS&CO “employees”.

Thus, LS&CO and you as an individual can be held criminally liable for payments by third party agents, joint venture partners, contractors, consultants, and representatives. For this reason, you must pay special attention to all dealings with such parties.

1. Due Diligence

Under certain circumstances, you must conduct a reasonable investigation, called due diligence, into the background, reputation, and business capabilities of a Third Party before entering into a contract. If your contract involves a Third Party representing LS&CO. with government officials, the Due Diligence Questionnaire Form (Attachment B) must be completed.

Examples of a Third Party representing LS&CO with government officials include but are not limited to the following:


•	Obtaining required permits, licenses or other official documents (operating license, tax certificate, etc.) on behalf of LS&CO.


•	Managing import or export requirements or deals directly with Customs Office


•	Communicating with any municipal agencies on behalf of LS&CO. (tax office, water department, etc.)


•	Overseeing tax and accounting related services for LS&CO.


•	Processing governmental papers, such as visas and work permits for LS&CO.

The Due Diligence Questionnaire Form consists of 2 parts. Part I contains the recommendation from the relevant LS&CO. employee and the approval of the relevant manager to engage the prospective Third Party. Part II is a Due Diligence Questionnaire to be completed by the prospective Third Party which will help identify potential red flags that may warrant further investigation.

If the Due Diligence Questionnaire Form is required, Parts I and II of the Due Diligence Form should be submitted to the Legal Department or Regional Compliance Officer as part of the contract review and risk management consultation process before a contract is signed. No applicable contract with a Third Party should be concluded until the Legal Department or Regional Compliance Officer has confirmed that the due diligence has been completed and is satisfactory for purposes of this policy.

A copy of the due diligence file shall be maintained in the Legal Department for each party/entity with whom LS&CO. ultimately enters into a contract.

If you have any doubt whether the Due Diligence Questionnaire Form is required, please contact the Legal Department for assistance.

2. Compensation and Payments to Third Parties

Compensation to Third Parties must be commercially reasonable and commensurate with the tasks that they actually undertake. Contracts should generally provide fixed compensation for specific, identified tasks and should avoid large percentage-based commissions and success fees.

Payments to Third Parties must be made in accordance with the terms of their contracts; in particular, it is a violation of this policy to honor requests by Third Parties to vary the terms of contracts by:


•	Increasing or decreasing agreed amounts on any invoice if there is no factual, documented basis; or


•	Submitting multiple invoices if you suspect such invoices may be used in a manner contrary to LS&CO. standards, procedures or applicable laws or otherwise used improperly.

Contracts that provide for payments to parties other than the contracting party, or payments to countries other than the home country of the contracting party, must be approved in advance by the Regional Compliance Officer.

3. Contractual Obligations of Third Parties

Contracts must contain provisions requiring Third Parties to make certain representations and warranties and to comply with all relevant anti-bribery laws. Signed originals of contracts should be filed in accordance with LS&CO.’s Global Contract Policy. Contact the Legal Department to ensure that these provisions are contained in your contracts.

4. Annual Certification by Third Parties

Annual certifications should be obtained from Third Parties in the Form of Attachment C and submitted to the Regional Compliance Officer no later than March 31^st of each year. The addresses for the Regional Compliance Officers are listed in Section K of this policy.

H. Record-Keeping

1. What type of records must be kept?

LS&CO. is required to accurately record information regarding all payments the company makes or receives in reasonable detail, including the amount of the payment, the recipient, and the purpose for the expenditure. You must ensure that LS&CO. has accurate and timely information with respect to the amount and ultimate recipient of contract payments, commissions, and other payments. You must also document the purpose, and maintain all necessary approvals for the transaction. Records must be complete and truthful and financial accounting recorded in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).

Any LS&CO. employee who creates a false or misleading entry, or fails to disclose payments or assets will be subject to immediate disciplinary action. If you learn of any false or misleading entries, or unrecorded payments, you should report it immediately to the Regional or Chief Compliance Officer.

2. Restrictions on reimbursements and use of cash

LS&CO. will only pay reimbursements for goods, services, or other expenditures that are fully and properly supported by third party invoices or receipts. With the exception of normal and customary xxxxx cash requirements, cash transactions in connection with LS&CO. business are to be avoided.

I. Reporting

If you are aware that any employee is involved in acts which violate this policy, you must report such conduct without delay to the Chief Compliance Officer or your Regional Compliance Office. LS&CO. strictly prohibits retaliation against anyone for raising or helping to address this type of issue. Additionally, if you have questions about this policy or an issue, please ask before you act by speaking with your supervisor or with your Regional Compliance Officer.

J. Annual Certification

Corporate officers, general/country managers, finance directors/managers, plant managers and plant finance managers must sign an annual compliance certification in the Form of Attachment D and submit it to the Compliance Department no later than January 31^st of each year.
