PART I

Item 1. Business

General

We are a leading lifestyle specialty retail company that operates under the Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, Free People, Terrain and Bhldn brands. We also operate a Wholesale segment under the Free People brand. We have over 43 years of experience creating and managing retail stores that offer highly differentiated collections of fashion apparel, accessories and home goods in inviting and dynamic store settings. Our core strategy is to provide unified environments that establish emotional bonds with the customer. In addition to our retail stores, we offer our products and market our brands directly to the consumer through our e-commerce websites, mobile applications and also through our Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie and Free People catalogs. We have achieved compounded annual sales growth of approximately 11% over the past five years, with sales of approximately $3.1 billion during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014.

We opened our first store in 1970 near the University of Pennsylvania campus in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We were incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1976, and opened our second store in Harvard Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1980. The first Anthropologie store opened in a suburb of Philadelphia in October 1992. We started doing business in Europe in June 1998, with our first European Urban Outfitters store located in London. We opened our first Free People store in the Garden State Plaza Mall in Paramus, New Jersey in November 2002. We opened our first Terrain

garden center in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania in April 2008. We opened our first European Anthropologie store in London in October 2009. In August 2011, we opened our first Bhldn store in Houston, Texas.

In 1984 we established the Free People wholesale division to develop, in conjunction with Urban Outfitters, private label apparel lines of young women’s casual wear that could be effectively sold at attractive prices in Urban Outfitters stores.

Our fiscal year ends on January 31. All references to our fiscal years refer to the fiscal years ended on January 31 in those years. For example, our fiscal 2014 ended on January 31, 2014.

Our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed with, or furnished to, the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are available free of charge on our investor relations website, www.urbanoutfittersinc.com, as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish such material to, the SEC. We will voluntarily provide electronic or paper copies (other than exhibits) of our filings free of charge upon written request. You may also obtain any materials we file with, or furnish to, the SEC on its website at www.sec.gov.

Our omni-channel strategy enhances our customers’ brand experience by providing a seamless approach to the customer shopping experience. We have substantially integrated all available shopping channels, including stores, websites (online and through mobile devices) and catalogs. Our investments in areas such as marketing campaigns and technology advancements are designed to generate demand for the omni-channel and not the separate store or direct-to-consumer channels. Store sales are primarily fulfilled from that store’s inventory, but may also be shipped from any of our fulfillment centers or from a different store location if an item is not available at the original store. Direct-to-consumer orders are primarily shipped to our customers through our fulfillment centers, but may also be shipped from any store, or a combination of fulfillment centers and stores depending on the availability of a particular item. As our customers continue to shop across multiple channels, we have adapted our approach towards meeting this demand. Due to the availability of like product in a variety of shopping channels, we now source these products utilizing single stock keeping units (“SKUs”) based on the omni-channel demand rather than the demand of the separate channels. These and other technological capabilities allow us to better serve our customers and help us to fill orders that otherwise may have been cancelled due to out-of-stock positions. As a result of changing customer behavior and the substantial integration of the operations of our store and direct-to-consumer channels, we manage and analyze our performance based on a single omni-channel rather than separate channels and believe that the omni-channel results present the most meaningful and appropriate measure of our performance.

Retail Segment

Urban Outfitters. Urban Outfitters targets young adults aged 18 to 28 through its unique merchandise mix and compelling store environment. We have established a reputation with these young adults, who are culturally sophisticated, self-expressive and concerned with acceptance by their peer group. The product offering includes women’s and men’s fashion apparel, footwear, beauty, accessories and sporting apparel and gear, as well as an eclectic mix of apartment wares and gifts. Apartment wares range from rugs, pillows and shower curtains to books, candles and novelties. Stores average approximately 8,800 square feet of selling space, and typically carry an estimated 60,000 to 65,000 SKUs. Our stores are located in large metropolitan areas, select university communities,

specialty centers and enclosed malls. Our stores accommodate our customers’ propensity not only to shop, but also to congregate with their peers. As of January 31, 2014, we operated 230 Urban Outfitters stores, of which 176 were located in the United States, 14 were located in Canada and 40 were located in Europe. We plan to open approximately 13 Urban Outfitters stores, globally, in fiscal 2015. Urban Outfitters operates websites in North America and Europe that capture the spirit of the brand by offering a similar yet broader selection of merchandise as found in our stores. Urban Outfitters offers a catalog in North America and Europe offering select merchandise, most of which is also available in our Urban Outfitters stores. Urban Outfitters’ North American and European Retail segment net sales accounted for approximately 36.3% and 8.1% of consolidated net sales, respectively, for fiscal 2014.

Anthropologie. Anthropologie tailors its merchandise and inviting store environment to sophisticated and contemporary women aged 28 to 45. Anthropologie’s unique and eclectic product assortment includes women’s casual apparel and accessories, shoes, home furnishings and a diverse array of gifts and decorative items. The home furnishings range from furniture, rugs, lighting and antiques to table top items, bedding and gifts. Stores average approximately 7,100 square feet of selling space, typically carry an estimated 45,000 to 50,000 SKUs and are located in specialty retail centers, upscale street locations and enclosed malls. As of January 31, 2014, we operated 187 Anthropologie stores, of which 174 were located in the United States, nine were located in Canada and four were located in Europe. We plan to open approximately 13 Anthropologie stores, globally, in fiscal 2015. Anthropologie operates websites in North America and Europe that capture the spirit of the brand by offering a similar yet broader selection of merchandise as found in our stores. Anthropologie also offers a catalog in North America and Europe that markets select merchandise, most of which is also available in our Anthropologie stores. Anthropologie’s North American and European Retail segment net sales accounted for approximately 39.8% and 1.2% of consolidated net sales, respectively, for fiscal 2014.

Free People. Our Free People retail stores primarily offer private label branded merchandise targeted to young contemporary women aged 25 to 30. Free People offers a unique merchandise mix of casual women’s apparel, intimates, shoes, accessories and gifts. Free People retail stores average approximately 1,500 square feet of selling space, carry up to 13,000 SKUs and are located in enclosed malls, upscale street locations and specialty retail centers. The retail channels of Free People expose both our wholesale accounts and retail customers to the full Free People product assortment and store environment. As of January 31, 2014, we operated 90 Free People stores, of which 88 were located in the United States and two were located in Canada. We plan to open approximately 12 new Free People stores in fiscal 2015. Free People operates websites in North America and Europe that capture the spirit of the brand by offering a similar yet broader selection of merchandise as found in our stores, as well as all of the Free People wholesale offerings. Free People also offers a catalog offering select merchandise, most of which is also available in our Free People stores. Free People’s Retail segment net sales accounted for approximately 7.7% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2014.

Terrain. Terrain is designed to appeal to women and men interested in a creative, sophisticated outdoor living and gardening experience. Terrain creates a compelling shopping environment through its large and free standing sites, inspired by the “greenhouse.” Each of our Terrain garden centers operates with an average of approximately 18,000 square feet of enclosed selling space as well as a large outdoor seasonal selling space used for its offering of lifestyle home and garden products, combined with antiques, live plants, flowers, wellness products and accessories. Both Terrain locations offer a full-service restaurant and coffee bar. Terrain also offers a variety of landscape and design service solutions to our customers. As of January 31, 2014, we operated two Terrain garden centers

and a website that offers customers a portion of the product assortment found at the Terrain garden centers. Terrain’s Retail segment net sales accounted for less than 1.0% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2014.

Bhldn. The Bhldn brand emphasizes every element that contributes to a wedding. Bhldn offers a curated collection of heirloom quality wedding gowns, bridesmaid frocks, party dresses, assorted jewelry, headpieces, footwear, lingerie and decorations. The stores average approximately 3,300 square feet of selling space and are located in a specialty retail center and an upscale street location. As of January 31, 2014, we operated two Bhldn stores and a website that offers customers access to all product offerings of the Bhldn brand. We also operate shop-within-shop locations within our Anthropologie stores that offer a comparable product assortment to our standalone stores and website. Bhldn’s Retail segment net sales accounted for less than 1.0% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2014.

Wholesale Segment

The Free People wholesale division was established in 1984 to develop, in conjunction with Urban Outfitters, private label apparel lines of young women’s casual wear that could be effectively sold at attractive prices in Urban Outfitters stores. In order to achieve minimum production lots, Free People wholesale began selling to other retailers throughout the United States. We distribute our Free People products in certain department stores using a shop-within-shop sales model. We believe that the shop-within-shop model allows for a more complete merchandising of our Free People products and will give us greater freedom in differentiating the presentation of our products and further strengthening of our brand image. During fiscal 2014, Free People’s range of tops, bottoms, sweaters and dresses were sold worldwide through approximately 1,400 better department and specialty stores worldwide, including Macy’s, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, Lord & Taylor, Selfridges, our own Free People stores, and in Japan through an exclusive distribution and marketing agreement with World Co., Ltd. We monitor the styles and products that are popular with our wholesale customers to give us insight into current fashion trends, which helps us better serve our retail customers. Free People presently maintains wholesale sales and showroom facilities in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, London and Tokyo. Free People’s wholesale sales accounted for approximately 5.8% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2014.

Store Environment

We create a unified environment in our stores that establishes an emotional bond with the customer. Every element of the environment is tailored to the aesthetic preferences of our target customers. Through creative design, much of the existing retail space is modified to incorporate a mosaic of fixtures, finishes and revealed architectural details. In our stores, merchandise is integrated into a variety of creative vignettes and displays designed to offer our customers an entire look at a distinct lifestyle. This dynamic visual merchandising and display technique provides the connection among the store design, the merchandise and the customer. Essential components of the ambiance of each store may include playing music that appeals to our target customers, using unique signage and employing a staff that understands and identifies with the target customer.

Our Urban Outfitters, Anthroplogie, and Free People stores are primarily located in upscale street locations, enclosed shopping malls, and specialty retail centers. Our two Terrain garden centers are both free-standing locations. Our Bhldn stores are located in a specialty retail center and an upscale street location.

Table of Contents

For our Anthropologie, Urban Outfitters and Free People stores, we plan to implement a location expansion strategy in fiscal 2015 similar to our strategy in fiscal 2014.

Buying Operations

Maintaining a constant flow of fashionable merchandise for our Retail segment is critically important to our ongoing performance. We maintain our own buying groups that select and develop products to satisfy our target customers and provide us with the appropriate amount and timing of products offered. Merchandise managers may supervise several buyers and assistant buyers. Our buyers stay in touch with the evolving tastes of their target customers by shopping at major trade markets, attending national and regional trade shows and staying current with mass media influences, including social media, music, video, film, magazines and pop culture.

Merchandise

Our Urban Outfitters stores, websites, mobile applications and catalogs offer a wide array of eclectic merchandise, including women’s and men’s fashion apparel, footwear, beauty, accessories, sporting apparel and gear and an eclectic mix of apartment wares and gifts. Product offerings in our Anthropologie stores, on our websites and mobile applications and within our catalogs include women’s casual apparel and accessories, shoes, as well as home furnishings and an eclectic diverse array of gifts and decorative accessories for the home, garden, bed and bath. Our Free People retail stores, websites, mobile applications and catalog offer a showcase for casual women’s apparel, intimates, shoes, accessories and gifts, primarily developed and designed by our Free People wholesale division. Our Terrain garden centers and website offer lifestyle home and garden products combined with antiques, live plants, flowers, wellness products and accessories. Our Bhldn retail stores and website offer a curated collection of heirloom quality wedding gowns, bridesmaid frocks, party dresses, assorted jewelry, headpieces, footwear, lingerie and decorations. Our merchandise is continuously updated to appeal to our target customers’ changing tastes and is supplied by a large number of domestic and foreign vendors, with new shipments of merchandise arriving at our stores and fulfillment centers almost daily.

The wide breadth of merchandise offered by our Retail segment includes national third-party brands, as well as exclusive merchandise developed and designed internally by our brands. This selection allows us to offer fashionable merchandise and to differentiate our product mix from that of traditional department stores, as well as that of other specialty and direct-to-consumer retailers. Merchandise designed and developed by our brands generally yields higher gross profit margins than third-party branded merchandise, and helps to keep our product offerings current and unique.

The ever-changing mix of products available to our customers allows us to adapt our merchandise to prevailing fashion trends, and, together with the inviting atmosphere and experience of our stores and websites, encourages our core customers to visit our shopping channels frequently.

We seek to select price points for our merchandise that are consistent with the spending patterns of our target customers. As such, our stores carry merchandise at a wide range of price points that may vary considerably within product categories.

Store Operations

We have organized our retail store operations by brand into geographic areas or districts that each have a district manager. District managers are responsible for several stores and monitor and supervise

Table of Contents

individual store managers. Each store manager is responsible for overseeing the daily operations of one of our stores. In addition to a store manager, the staff of a typical Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, Free People, Terrain and Bhldn store includes a combination of some or all of the following positions: a visual manager, several department managers and full and part-time sales and visual staff. The staff of a typical Anthropologie store may also include a customer care manager who helps tailor the shopping experience to the needs of Anthropologie’s target customers. A Terrain garden center may also include merchandise care and maintenance staff. The staff of a Bhldn store also includes a product, bridal and event manager, appointment stylist and a category specialist.

An essential requirement for the success of our stores is our ability to attract, train and retain talented, highly motivated store managers, visual managers and other key employees. In addition to management training programs for both newly hired and existing employees, we have a number of retention programs that offer qualitative and quantitative performance-based incentives to district-level managers, store-level managers and full-time sales associates.

Marketing and Promotion

We believe we have highly effective marketing tools in our websites, mobile applications, catalogs, email campaigns and social media. We refresh this media as frequently as daily to reflect the most cutting edge changes in fashion and culture. We also believe that highly visible store locations, broad merchandise selection and creative and visual presentation within our stores, on our websites and on our mobile applications are key enticements for customers to explore these channels and purchase merchandise. Consequently, we rely on these factors, as well as the brand recognition created by our direct marketing activities, to draw customers to our omni-channel operations, rather than traditional forms of advertising such as print, radio and television media. Marketing activities for each of our retail store concepts may include special event promotions and a variety of public relations activities designed to create community awareness of our stores and products. We also are active in social media and blogs. We believe that the traditional method of a one-way communication to customers is no longer enough. We believe that by starting a conversation and interacting directly with our customers, most notably via Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram and our own mobile applications, we are more effective at understanding and serving their fashion needs. We also believe that our blogs continue this conversation. Not only do our blogs allow us to communicate what inspires us, they allow our customers to tell us what inspires them. This fosters our relationships with our customers and encourages them to continue shopping with us.

During fiscal 2014 we circulated approximately 29.4 million catalogs across all brands. We plan for our catalog circulation to remain consistent in fiscal 2015.

Suppliers

To serve our target customers and to recognize changes in fashion trends and seasonality, we purchase merchandise from numerous foreign and domestic vendors. To the extent that our vendors are located overseas or rely on overseas sources for a large portion of their merchandise, any event causing a disruption of imports, such as the imposition of import restrictions, war, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, port security considerations or labor disputes, financial or political instability in any of the countries in which goods we purchase are manufactured, trade restrictions in the form of tariffs or quotas, or both, disruption in the supply of fabrics or raw materials, increases in the cost of fuel or

 

6


Table of Contents

decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies could adversely affect our business. During fiscal 2014, we purchased merchandise from approximately 4,700 vendors. No single vendor accounted for more than 10% of merchandise purchased during that time. While certain of our vendors have limited financial resources and production capabilities, we do not believe that the loss of any one vendor would have a material effect on our business.

Company Operations

Distribution. We own a 291,000 square foot distribution facility in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania that receives and distributes approximately half of our retail store merchandise. This facility provides distribution services to our east coast retail stores at a favorable freight cost per unit, and provides for faster turnaround from selected vendors. This facility has a computerized material handling system and is located approximately 65 miles from our home offices in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We also lease a 214,500 square foot distribution center located in Reno, Nevada, that receives and distributes the remaining half of our retail store merchandise. This facility provides distribution services to our west coast retail stores at a favorable freight cost per unit, and provides for faster turnaround from selected vendors.

We lease a 459,000 square foot fulfillment center located in Trenton, South Carolina. This facility, which utilizes an automated material handling system, houses merchandise distributed through our Retail and Wholesale segments. The center accommodates direct-to-consumer fulfillment related functions, including inventory warehousing, receiving and customer shipping.

In September 2012 we completed construction on a 463,000 square foot fulfillment center located in Reno, Nevada. This facility, which we own and operate, is used primarily to house and distribute merchandise to our western United States direct-to-consumer customers, significantly improving our fulfillment capability. The facility also includes automated material handling systems as well as a data center.

We lease distribution and fulfillment facilities located in Rushden, England. Our 98,000 square foot distribution facility supports our entire European store base and has an automated material handling system. Our 142,000 square foot fulfillment facility, which supports our entire European direct-to-consumer channel, has an advanced cross belt sorter. We believe both of these facilities will support our European growth for the next several years.

Information Systems. Very early in our growth, we recognized the need for high-quality information in order to manage merchandise planning, buying, inventory management and control functions. We invested in a retail software package that met our processing and reporting requirements. We utilize point-of-sale register systems connected by a digital subscriber line network to our home offices. Additionally, many of our stores have mobile point-of-sale devices which have virtually the same functionality as our cash registers. These systems provide for register efficiencies, timely customer checkout and instant back office access to register information, as well as daily updates of sales, inventory data and price changes. Our direct-to-consumer channel, which includes the Anthropologie, Urban Outfitters, Free People, Terrain and Bhldn retail websites and the Anthropologie, Free People and Urban Outfitters catalogs, maintains separate software systems that manage the merchandise and customer information for our in-house customer contact center and fulfillment functions. The Free People wholesale division uses a separate software system for customer service, order entry and allocations, production planning and inventory management. We have a

second data center located in our Reno fulfillment facility that functions as a redundant hosting site for our direct-to-consumer and data communication systems. We have contracted with a nationally recognized company to provide disaster recovery services with respect to our key systems.

Competition

The specialty retail and the wholesale businesses are each highly competitive in both the domestic and international markets. Our Retail segment competes on the basis of, among other things, the location of our stores, website, mobile applications and catalog presentation, website design, the breadth, quality, style, price and availability of merchandise and the level of customer service offered. Although we believe that the eclectic mix of products and our unique store and website experiences offered by our Retail segment help differentiate us, it also means that our Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, Free People, Terrain and Bhldn stores compete against a wide variety of smaller, independent specialty retailers, as well as department stores and national specialty chains. Many of our competitors have substantially greater name recognition as well as financial, marketing and other resources. Our Anthropologie, Free People and Bhldn stores also face competition from small boutiques that offer an individualized shopping experience similar to the one we strive to provide to our target customers. In addition, some of our suppliers offer products directly to consumers and certain of our competitors.

Along with certain Retail segment factors noted above, other key competitive factors for our direct-to-consumer channel include the success or effectiveness of merchandise delivery, website and mobile application availability and customer lists. Our direct-to-consumer channel competes against numerous websites and catalogs, which may have a greater volume of circulation and web traffic or more effective marketing through online media and social networking sites.

Our Free People wholesale business competes with numerous wholesale companies based on the quality, price and fashion of our wholesale product offerings. Many of our wholesale business competitors’ products have a wider distribution network. In addition, certain of our wholesale competitors have greater name recognition, financial and other resources.

Trademarks and Service Marks

We are the registered owner in the United States of certain service marks and trademarks, including, but not limited to “Urban Outfitters,” “Anthropologie,” “Free People,” “Bhldn,” “Terrain,” “BDG,” “Co-Operative,” “Deletta,” “Ecote,” “Eloise,” “Intimately Free People,” “Odille,” “Urban Renewal” and “Urbn.com.” Each mark is renewable indefinitely, contingent upon continued use at the time of renewal. In addition, we currently have pending registration applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office covering certain other marks. We also own marks that have been registered in foreign countries and have applications for marks pending in additional foreign countries. We regard our marks as important to our business due to their name recognition with our customers. We are not aware of any valid claims of infringement or challenges to our right to use any of our marks in the United States.

Employees

As of January 31, 2014, we employed approximately 22,900 people, approximately 37% of whom were full-time employees. The number of part-time employees fluctuates depending on seasonal

Table of Contents

needs. Of our total employees, approximately 3% work in the Wholesale segment and the remaining 97% work in our Retail segment. None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement, and we believe that our relations with our employees are excellent.

Financial Information about Operations

We aggregate our operations into two reportable segments, the Retail segment and the Wholesale segment. See Note 15, “Segment Reporting,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Financial Information about Geographical Areas

See Note 15, “Segment Reporting,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding net sales from domestic and foreign operations and long-lived assets.

Seasonality

Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations in net sales and operating income, with a more significant portion typically realized from August 1 to December 31 of each year (the back-to-school and holiday periods). Historically, and consistent with the retail industry, this seasonality also impacts our working capital requirements, particularly with regard to inventory. See Item 7: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Seasonality and Quarterly Results for additional information.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our reportable segments are sensitive to economic conditions, consumer spending, shifts in fashion and industry and demographic conditions.

We are subject to seasonal variations and face numerous business risk factors. Consumer purchases of discretionary retail items and specialty retail products, including our products, may decline during recessionary periods and also may decline at other times when disposable income is lower. A prolonged economic downturn could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations. There is a risk that consumer sentiment may decline due to economic and/or geo-political factors, which could negatively impact our financial position and results of operations.

Our performance is subject to worldwide economic conditions and their impact on levels of consumer spending remains uncertain and may remain depressed for the foreseeable future. Some of the factors impacting discretionary consumer spending include general economic conditions, wages and employment, consumer debt, reductions in net worth based on severe market declines, residential real estate and mortgage markets, taxation, fuel and energy prices, interest rates, consumer confidence, the European political and economic crisis and other macroeconomic factors. Consumer purchases of discretionary items, including our merchandise, generally decline during recessionary periods and other periods where disposable income is adversely affected. The current economy may continue to affect consumer purchases of our merchandise and adversely impact our results of operations and continued growth. The economic conditions may also affect the number of specialty retail businesses and their ability to purchase merchandise from our Wholesale segment. It is difficult to predict how long the current uncertain economic, capital and credit market conditions will continue and what impact they will have on our business.

We rely heavily on our ability to identify changes in fashion.

Customer tastes and fashion trends are volatile and can change rapidly. Our success depends in part on our ability to effectively predict and respond to changing fashion tastes and consumer demands, and to translate market trends into appropriate, saleable product offerings. Our inability to effectively determine these changes may lead to higher seasonal inventory levels and a future need to increase markdowns to liquidate our inventory. Compared to our Retail segment, our Wholesale segment is more sensitive to changes in fashion trends because of longer lead times in the manufacturing and sale of its apparel. Our fashion decisions constitute a material risk and may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We may not be successful in expanding our business, opening new retail stores or extending our existing store leases.

Our growth strategy depends on our ability to open and operate new retail stores on a profitable basis. We also must be able to effectively extend our existing store leases. Our operating complexity will increase as our store base grows, and we may face challenges in managing our future growth. Such growth will require that we continue to expand and improve our operating capabilities, and expand, train and manage our employee base. We may be unable to hire and train a sufficient number of qualified personnel or successfully manage our growth. Our expansion prospects also depend on a number of other factors, many of which are beyond our control, including, among other things,

competition, the availability of financing for capital expenditures and working capital requirements and the availability of suitable sites for new store locations on acceptable lease terms. There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve our store expansion goals, nor can there be any assurance that our newly opened stores will achieve revenue or profitability levels comparable to those of our existing stores in the time periods estimated by us, or at all. If our stores fail to achieve, or are unable to sustain, acceptable revenue and profitability levels, we may incur significant costs associated with closing those stores.

We may not be successful expanding our business internationally.

Our current growth strategy includes plans to continue to open new stores internationally over the next several years. We have limited prior experience operating internationally, where we face established competitors. International stores have different operational characteristics, including employment and labor, transportation, logistics, real estate and legal requirements. Furthermore, consumer demand and behavior, as well as tastes and purchasing trends may differ internationally, and as a result, sales of our merchandise may not be successful, or the margins on those sales may not be in line with those we currently anticipate. Additionally, our ability to conduct business internationally may be adversely impacted by political and economic risks, as well as the global economy. Any differences that we encounter as we expand internationally, may divert financial, operational and managerial resources from our existing operations, which could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.

As we continue to expand our international operations, we are subject to certain U.S. laws, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, as well as the laws of the foreign countries in which we operate. We are required to use all commercially reasonable efforts to ensure compliance with these laws. Violations of these laws could subject us to sanctions or other penalties that could negatively affect our reputation, business and operating results.

Existing and increased competition in the specialty retail, direct-to-consumer and wholesale apparel businesses may reduce our net revenues, profits and market share.

The specialty retail segment and the wholesale apparel businesses are each highly competitive. Our retail stores compete on the basis of, among other things, location, the breadth, quality, style, and availability of merchandise and the level of customer service offered and merchandise price. Our Anthropologie, Free People and Bhldn stores also face competition from small boutiques that offer an individualized shopping experience similar to the one we strive to provide to our target customers. Additionally, the internet and other new technologies facilitate competitive entry and comparison shopping in our Retail segment. We strive to offer a multichannel shopping experience for our direct-to-consumer customers and use social media and mobile applications as a way to interact with our customers and enhance their shopping experiences. Multichannel retailing is rapidly evolving and we must keep pace with changing customer expectations and new developments by our competitors. In addition, some of our suppliers offer products directly to consumers and certain of our competitors. Our Free People wholesale business competes with numerous wholesale companies based on the quality, fashion and price of its wholesale product offerings, many of whose products have a wider distribution. Many of our competitors have substantially greater name recognition as well as financial, marketing and other resources. We cannot assure you that we will continue to be able to compete successfully against existing or future competitors. Due to difficult economic conditions our

Table of Contents

competitors may force a markdown or promotional sales environment which could hurt our ability to achieve our historical profit margins. Our expansion into markets served by our competitors and entry of new competitors or expansion of existing competitors into our markets could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business depends on effective marketing and high customer traffic.

We have many initiatives in our marketing programs particularly with regard to our websites and mobile applications. If our competitors increase their spending on marketing, if our marketing expenses increase, if our marketing becomes less effective than that of our competitors, or if we do not adequately leverage technology and data analytics capabilities needed to generate concise competitive insight, we could experience a material adverse effect on our results of operations. A failure to sufficiently innovate or maintain adequate and effective marketing could inhibit our ability to maintain brand relevance and drive increased sales.

We depend on key personnel and may not be able to retain or replace these employees or recruit additional qualified personnel, which would harm our business.

We believe that we have benefited substantially from the leadership and experience of our senior executives, including our co-founder, Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President, Richard A. Hayne. The loss of the services of any of our senior executives could have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects, as we may not be able to find suitable management personnel to replace departing executives on a timely basis. In addition, if our senior executives do not fully integrate within the structure of our management team and core business, we may be adversely affected. We do not have an employment agreement with Mr. Hayne, or any of our other key personnel. In addition, as our business expands, we believe that our future success will depend greatly on our continued ability to attract and retain highly skilled and qualified personnel. There is a high level of competition for personnel in the retail industry. Our inability to meet our staffing requirements in the future could impair our ability to increase revenue and could otherwise harm our business.

We could be materially and adversely affected if any of our distribution centers are closed.

We operate six distribution and fulfillment facilities worldwide to support our Retail and Wholesale segments in the United States, Western Europe and Canada, and for fulfillment of catalog and website orders around the world. The merchandise purchased for our United States and Canadian retail store operations is shipped directly to our distribution centers in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and Reno, Nevada. Merchandise purchased for our direct-to-consumer operations is shipped directly to our fulfillment centers in Trenton, South Carolina and Reno, Nevada. Merchandise purchased for our wholesale operations is shipped directly to our fulfillment center in Trenton, South Carolina. The merchandise purchased for our Western Europe retail and direct-to-consumer operations is shipped to Rushden, England. If any of our distribution centers were to close for any reason, the other distribution centers may not be able to support the resulting additional distribution demands. As a result, we could incur significantly higher costs and longer lead times associated with distributing our products to our stores and customers during the time it takes for us to re-open or replace the center.

We rely significantly on international sources of production.

We receive a substantial portion of our apparel and other merchandise from foreign sources, both purchased directly in foreign markets and indirectly through domestic vendors with foreign sources.

Table of Contents

To the extent that our vendors are located overseas or rely on overseas sources for a large portion of their products, any event causing a disruption of imports, including the imposition of import restrictions, war, acts of terrorism and natural disasters could adversely affect our business. If imported goods become difficult or impossible to bring into the United States due to significant labor issues, such as strikes at any of our ports in the United States, and if we cannot obtain such merchandise from other sources at similar costs, our sales and profit margins may be adversely affected. The flow of merchandise from our vendors could also be adversely affected by financial or political instability in any of the countries in which the goods we purchase are manufactured, if the instability affects the production or export of merchandise from those countries. Moreover, in the event of a significant disruption in the supply of the fabrics or raw materials used by our vendors in the manufacture of our products, our vendors may not be able to locate alternative suppliers of materials of comparable quality at an acceptable price, or at all. Trade restrictions in the form of tariffs or quotas, or both, applicable to the products we sell could also affect the importation of those products and could increase the cost and reduce the supply of products available to us. The cost of fuel is a significant component in transportation costs, therefore, increases in the petroleum products can adversely affect our gross margins. In addition, decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies could increase the cost of products we purchase from overseas vendors.

On August 22, 2012, pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), the SEC adopted new requirements for companies that manufacture products that contain certain minerals and metals, known as conflict minerals. Some of these conflict minerals are commonly used in many products, and may be used in some of the products we offer. These requirements will generally require companies to investigate, disclose and report annually whether or not conflict minerals, if used in the manufacture of the products offered by the company, originated from the Democratic Republic of Congo or adjoining countries. The implementation of these requirements could adversely affect the sourcing, availability and pricing of conflict minerals used in the manufacture of certain of the products we offer. In addition, we may incur additional costs to comply with the disclosure requirements.

Our operating results fluctuate from period to period.

Our business experiences seasonal fluctuations in net sales and operating income, with a more significant portion of operating income typically realized during the five-month period from August 1 to December 31 of each year (the back-to-school and holiday periods). Historically, and consistent with the retail industry, this seasonality also impacts our working capital requirements, particularly with regard to inventory. Any decrease in sales or margins during this period, or in the availability of working capital needed in the months preceding this period, could have a more material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations than in other periods. Seasonal fluctuations also affect our inventory levels, as we usually order merchandise in advance of peak selling periods and sometimes before new fashion trends are confirmed by customer purchases. We must carry a significant amount of inventory, especially before the back-to-school and holiday selling periods. If we are not successful in selling our inventory during this period, we may be forced to rely on markdowns or promotional sales to dispose of the inventory or we may not be able to sell the inventory at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be unable to protect our trademarks and other intellectual property rights.

We believe that our trademarks and service marks are important to our success and our competitive position due to their name recognition with our customers. We devote substantial

 

13


Table of Contents

resources to the establishment and protection of our trademarks and service marks on a worldwide basis. We are not aware of any valid claims of infringement or challenges to our right to use any of our trademarks and service marks in the United States. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that the actions we have taken to establish and protect our trademarks and service marks will be adequate to prevent imitation of our products by others or to prevent others from seeking to block sales of our products as a violation of the trademarks, service marks and intellectual property of others. Also, others may assert rights in, or ownership of our, trademarks and other intellectual property and we may not be able to successfully resolve these types of conflicts to our satisfaction. In addition, the laws of certain foreign countries may not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States.

War, acts of terrorism, or the threat of either may negatively impact availability of merchandise and/or otherwise adversely impact our business.

In the event of war or acts of terrorism, or if either are threatened, our ability to obtain merchandise available for sale in our stores or on our websites may be negatively impacted. A substantial portion of our merchandise is imported from other countries, see “We rely significantly on international sources of production.” If commercial transportation is curtailed or substantially delayed, our business may be adversely impacted, as we may have difficulty shipping merchandise to our distribution centers and stores, as well as fulfilling catalog and website orders. In the event of war or acts of terrorism, or the threat of either, we may be required to suspend operations in some or all of our stores, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may not be successful in introducing additional store concepts or brands.

We may, from time to time, seek to develop and introduce new concepts or brands in addition to our established brands, Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie and Free People. Our ability to succeed in Terrain, Bhldn, and other new concepts could require significant capital expenditures and management attention. Additionally, any new concept is subject to certain risks, including customer acceptance, competition, product differentiation, challenges relating to economies of scale in merchandise sourcing and the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, including management and designers. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop and grow these or any other new concepts to a point where they will become profitable, or generate positive cash flow. If we cannot successfully develop and grow these new concepts, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely impacted.

We may develop new store concepts through acquisitions and we may not be successful in integrating those acquisitions.

Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including the diversion of our management’s attention from other business concerns, the possibility that current operating and financial systems and controls may be inadequate to deal with our growth and the potential loss of key employees.

We also may encounter difficulties in integrating any businesses we may acquire with our existing operations. The success of these transactions depends on our ability to:

 

   

successfully merge corporate cultures and operational and financial systems;

 

   

realize cost reduction synergies; and

 

   

as necessary, retain key management members and technical personnel of acquired companies.

In addition, there may be liabilities that we fail, or are unable, to discover in the course of performing due diligence investigations on any company that we may acquire, or have recently acquired. Also, there may be additional costs relating to acquisitions including, but not limited to, possible purchase price adjustments. Any of our rights to indemnification from sellers to us, even if obtained, may not be enforceable, collectible or sufficient in amount, scope or duration to fully offset the possible liabilities associated with the business or property acquired. Any such liabilities, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

We rely on information technology systems and a material disruption or failure of such systems or technologies could adversely affect our business.

Our operations, in particular our direct-to-consumer sales, are subject to numerous risks, including reliance on third-party computer hardware/software, rapid technological change, diversion of sales from our stores, liability for online content, violations of state or federal laws, including those relating to online privacy, credit card fraud, risks related to the failure of the information technology systems that operate our websites, including computer viruses, telecommunications failures and electronic break-ins and similar disruptions. If our information systems or other technologies are damaged or cease to function properly, we may have to make a significant investment to fix or replace them, and we may suffer loss of critical data and interruptions or delays in our operations in the interim. Although we have not experienced any interruptions or shutdowns of our systems for any material length of time for the reasons described above, such disruptions could lead to delays in our business operations and, if significant, affect our sales and profitability. During the course of business, we obtain and transmit confidential customer information through our information technology systems. While, to the best of our knowledge, we have not experienced any material misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized disclosure of confidential or personally identifiable information as a result of a security breach or cyber-attack, such a security breach or cyber-attack could adversely affect our business and operations, including damaging our reputation and our relationships with our customers, employees and investors and exposing us to risks of litigation and liability. While we believe we are diligent in selecting vendors, systems and procedures to enable us to maintain the integrity of our systems, we recognize that there are inherent risks and we cannot assure that any future interruptions, shutdowns or unauthorized disclosures will not occur.

Manufacturer compliance with our social compliance program requirements.

We have a manufacturer compliance program that is monitored on a regular basis by our buying offices. Our production facilities are either certified as in compliance with our program, or areas of improvement are identified and corrective follow-up action is taken. All manufacturing facilities are required to follow applicable national labor laws, as well as international compliance standards regarding workplace safety, such as standards that require clean and safe working environments, clearly marked exits and paid overtime. We believe in protecting the safety and working rights of the people who manufacture the products we sell, while recognizing and respecting cultural and legal differences found throughout the world. We require our outside vendors to register through an online website and agree that they and their suppliers will abide by certain standards and conditions of employment.

Our results can be adversely affected by market disruptions.

Market disruptions due to severe weather conditions, natural disasters, health hazards, terrorist activities, financial crises, political crises or other major events or the prospect of these events can affect consumer spending and confidence levels and adversely affect our results or prospects in affected markets. The receipt of proceeds under any insurance we maintain for these purposes may be delayed or the proceeds may be insufficient to fully offset our losses.

Changes in accounting standards and subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments by management related to complex accounting matters could significantly affect our financial results or financial condition.

Generally accepted accounting principles and related accounting pronouncements, implementation guidelines and interpretations with regard to a wide range of matters that are relevant to our business, such as revenue recognition, asset impairment, impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, inventories, lease obligations, self-insurance, tax matters and litigation, are highly complex and involve many subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments. Changes in these rules or their interpretation or changes in underlying assumptions, estimates or judgments could significantly change our reported or expected financial performance or financial condition.

We are subject to numerous regulations and legal matters that could adversely affect our business.

We are subject to customs, child labor, tax, employment, privacy, truth-in-advertising and other laws, including consumer protection regulations and zoning and occupancy ordinances that regulate retailers generally and/or govern the importation, promotion and sale of merchandise and the operation of retail stores and distribution and fulfillment centers. Additional legal and regulatory requirements, and the fact that foreign laws occasionally conflict with domestic laws, have increased the complexity of the regulatory environment and the cost of compliance. If these laws change without our knowledge, or are violated by importers, designers, manufacturers or distributors, we could experience delays in shipments and receipt of goods or be subject to fines or other penalties under the controlling regulations, any of which could adversely affect our business. Moreover, legal actions may be filed against us from time to time, including class actions. These actions may assert commercial, tort, intellectual property, customer, employment, data privacy, securities or other claims. We may also be impacted by litigation trends, including class action lawsuits involving consumers and shareholders, that could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, the market price of our common shares, or our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

We have no outstanding comments with the staff of the SEC.

Item 2. Properties

Since 2006, our home office has been located in several buildings on one campus in the historic core of the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Navy Yard. The consolidated offices at the Navy Yard allow for an efficient operation of our Philadelphia-based offices and will help to support our growth needs for the foreseeable future. We currently occupy approximately 404,000 square feet. We hold options on several adjacent buildings that are available for at least the next ten years to allow for additional

 

16


Table of Contents

expansion if necessary. During fiscal 2014, we began construction on two buildings that will expand our home offices an additional 133,000 square feet to accommodate our growth. One of these buildings was completed in fiscal 2014 and we anticipate the other to be completed during fiscal 2015. In addition, during fiscal 2014 we purchased another building in the Navy Yard that consists of approximately 122,000 square feet for future expansion. This building is currently leased to a third party.

Our European home offices are located in London, England and consist of three leased properties totaling approximately 13,000 square feet. The leased properties have varying lease term expirations through 2024.

Our North American retail stores are supported by two distribution facilities. We own a 291,000 square foot distribution center in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, which supports approximately half of our retail stores. We lease a distribution facility in Reno, Nevada. The Nevada facility is approximately 214,500 square feet and supports the remaining half of our retail stores. The term of this operating lease is set to expire in 2017 with Company options to renew for up to an additional ten years.

We operate a 459,000 square foot fulfillment center in Trenton, South Carolina, which houses merchandise distributed through our Retail and Wholesale segments. The operating lease for the Trenton center is set to expire in 2016.

In September 2012, we completed the construction of a 463,000 square foot fulfillment center in Reno, Nevada that we own and operate to support the Retail segment. In fiscal 2014, we relocated our customer contact center to Martinez, Georgia. This leased facility consists of approximately 40,000 square feet and has a lease term expiring in fiscal 2019 with three five year renewal options.

We lease separate distribution and fulfillment centers in Rushden, England to support our retail and direct-to-consumer channels in Europe. The distribution center occupies approximately 98,000 square feet and the fulfillment center occupies approximately 142,000 square feet, which also includes our European customer contact center. The term of both of these leases are set to expire in September 2020.

Improvements in recent years, including those in fiscal 2014 described in Item 7: Management’s Discussion and Analysis—Liquidity and Capital Resources, were necessary to adequately support our growth. We believe we may need to further expand the square footage of our home office and distribution facilities to support our growth over the next several years. For more information on our distribution center properties, see Item 1: Business—Company Operations—Distribution. We believe that our facilities are well maintained and in good operating condition.

All of our Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, Free People, Terrain and Bhldn stores are leased, well maintained and in good operating condition. Our retail stores are typically leased for a term of ten years with renewal options for an additional five to ten years. Total estimated selling square feet for stores open, under lease as of January 31, 2014, by Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, Free People, Terrain and Bhldn was approximately 2,031,000, 1,318,000, 131,000, 36,000 and 6,700, respectively. Terrain also utilizes outdoor space to sell seasonal items, live plants, accessories and outdoor furniture. The average store selling square feet is approximately 8,800 for Urban Outfitters, 7,100 for Anthropologie and 1,500 for Free People. Selling square feet can sometimes change due to floor moves, use of staircases, cash register configuration and other factors.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

We are an omni-channel retailer operating two reportable segments: a leading lifestyle specialty Retail segment and a Wholesale segment. Our Retail segment consists of our Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, Free People, Terrain and Bhldn brands, whose merchandise is sold directly to our customers through retail stores, websites, mobile applications, catalogs and customer contact centers. Our Wholesale segment consists of the Free People wholesale division that primarily designs, develops and markets young women’s contemporary casual apparel.

Our fiscal year ends on January 31. All references to our fiscal years refer to the fiscal years ended on January 31 in those years. For example, our fiscal year 2014 ended on January 31, 2014.

Our omni-channel strategy enhances our customers’ brand experience by providing a seamless approach to the customer shopping experience. We have substantially integrated all available shopping channels, including stores, websites (online and through mobile devices) and catalogs. Our investments in areas such as marketing campaigns and technology advancements are designed to generate demand for the omni-channel and not the separate store or direct-to-consumer channels. Store sales are primarily fulfilled from that store’s inventory, but may also be shipped from any of our fulfillment centers or from a different store location if an item is not available at the original store. Direct-to-consumer orders are primarily shipped to our customers through our fulfillment centers, but may also be shipped from any store, or a combination of fulfillment centers and stores depending on the availability of a particular item. As our customers continue to shop across multiple channels, we have adapted our approach towards meeting this demand. Due to the availability of like product in a variety of shopping channels, we now source these products utilizing single SKUs based on the omni-channel demand rather than the demand of the separate channels. These and other technological capabilities allow us to better serve our customers and help us to fill orders that otherwise may have been cancelled due to out-of-stock positions. As a result of changing customer behavior and the substantial integration of the operations of our store and direct-to-consumer channels, we manage and analyze our performance based on a single omni-channel rather than separate channels and believe that the omni-channel results present the most meaningful and appropriate measure of our performance.

Our comparable Retail segment net sales data is equal to the sum of our comparable store plus comparable direct-to-consumer channels. A store is considered to be comparable if it has been open at least one full fiscal year, unless it was materially expanded or remodeled within that year or was not otherwise operating at its full capacity within that year. A direct-to-consumer channel is considered to be comparable if it has been operational for at least one full fiscal year. There is no overlap between comparable store net sales and comparable direct-to-consumer net sales. Sales from stores and direct-to-consumer channels that do not fall within the definition of comparable store or channel are considered to be non-comparable. The effects of foreign currency translation are also considered non-comparable.

Although we have no precise empirical data as it relates to customer traffic or customer conversion rates within our stores, we believe that, based only on our observations, changes in transaction volume in our stores, as discussed in our results of operations, may correlate to changes in customer traffic. We are able to monitor customer visits, average order value and conversion rate on

our websites. We believe that changes in any of these metrics may be caused by a response to our brands’ fashion offerings, our marketing campaigns, circulation of our catalogs and an overall growth in brand recognition as we expand our store base.

Retail Segment

As of January 31, 2014, we operated 230 Urban Outfitters stores of which 176 were located in the United States, 14 were located in Canada and 40 were located in Europe. During fiscal 2014, we opened 16 new Urban Outfitters stores, of which 10 were located in the United States, one was located in Canada, and five were located in Europe. During the year ended January 31, 2014, Urban Outfitters closed one store located in the United States. Urban Outfitters operates websites in North America and Europe that capture the spirit of the brand by offering a similar yet broader selection of merchandise as found in our stores. Urban Outfitters offers a catalog in North America and in Europe offering select merchandise, most of which is also available in our Urban Outfitters stores. Urban Outfitters targets young adults aged 18 to 28 through a unique merchandise mix and compelling store environment. Urban Outfitters’ product offering includes women’s and men’s fashion apparel, footwear, beauty, accessories and sporting apparel and gear, as well as an eclectic mix of apartment wares and gifts. We plan to open additional stores over the next several years. Urban Outfitters’ North American and European Retail segment net sales accounted for approximately 36.3% and 8.1% of consolidated net sales, respectively, for fiscal 2014, compared to 39.2% and 8.2%, respectively, for fiscal 2013.

As of January 31, 2014, we operated 187 Anthropologie stores, of which 174 were located in the United States, nine were located in Canada and four were located in Europe. During fiscal 2014, we opened nine new Anthropologie stores, of which seven were located in the United States, one was located in Canada and one was located in Europe. During the year ended January 31, 2014, Anthropologie closed two stores located in the United States due to lease expirations. Anthropologie operates websites in North America and Europe that capture the spirit of the brand by offering a similar yet broader selection of merchandise as found in our stores. Anthropologie also offers a catalog in North America and in Europe that markets select merchandise, most of which is also available in our Anthropologie stores. Anthropologie tailors its merchandise to sophisticated and contemporary women aged 28 to 45. Anthropologie’s product assortment includes women’s casual apparel and accessories, shoes, home furnishings and a diverse array of gifts and decorative items. We plan to open additional stores over the next several years. Anthropologie’s North American and European Retail segment net sales accounted for approximately 39.8% and 1.2% of consolidated net sales, respectively, for fiscal 2014, compared to 38.8% and 1.1%, respectively, for fiscal 2013.

As of January 31, 2014, we operated 90 Free People stores, of which 88 were located in the United States and two were located in Canada. During fiscal 2014, we opened 13 new Free People stores, all of which were located in the United States. Free People operates websites in North America and in Europe that capture the spirit of the brand by offering a similar yet broader selection of merchandise as found in our stores, as well as all of the Free People wholesale offerings. Free People also offers a catalog offering select merchandise, most of which is also available in our Free People stores. Free People primarily offers private label branded merchandise targeted to young contemporary women aged 25 to 30. Free People provides a unique merchandise mix of casual women’s apparel, intimates, shoes, accessories and gifts. We plan to open additional stores over the next several years, some of which may be outside the United States. Free People’s Retail segment net sales accounted for approximately 7.7% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2014, compared to approximately 6.2% for fiscal 2013.

As of January 31, 2014, we operated two Terrain garden centers and a website that offers customers a portion of the product assortment found at the Terrain garden centers. Terrain is designed to appeal to women and men interested in a creative, sophisticated outdoor living and gardening experience. Terrain creates a compelling shopping environment through its large and freestanding sites. Merchandise includes lifestyle home and garden products combined with antiques, live plants, flowers, wellness products and accessories. Both Terrain locations offer a full-service restaurant and coffee bar. Terrain also offers a variety of landscape and design services. Terrain’s Retail segment net sales accounted for less than 1.0% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively.

As of January 31, 2014, we operated two Bhldn stores and a website that offers customers access to all product offerings of the Bhldn brand. We also operate shop-within-shop locations within our Anthropologie stores that offer a comparable product assortment to our standalone stores and website. Bhldn offers a curated collection of heirloom quality wedding gowns, bridesmaid frocks, party dresses, assorted jewelry, headpieces, footwear, lingerie and decorations. Bhldn’s Retail segment net sales accounted for less than 1.0% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively.

For all brands combined, we plan to open approximately 35 to 40 new stores during fiscal 2015, including 13 Urban Outfitters stores, 13 Anthropologie stores and 12 Free People stores.

Wholesale Segment

The Free People wholesale division designs, develops and markets young women’s contemporary casual apparel. Free People’s range of tops, bottoms, sweaters and dresses are sold worldwide through approximately 1,400 better department and specialty stores worldwide, including Macy’s, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, Lord & Taylor, Selfridges, our own Free People stores, and in Japan through an exclusive distribution and marketing agreement with World Co., Ltd. Free People’s Wholesale segment net sales accounted for approximately 5.8% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2014, compared to 5.3% in fiscal 2013.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. These generally accepted accounting principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period.

Our senior management has reviewed the critical accounting policies and estimates with our audit committee. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.” We believe that the following discussion addresses our critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the presentation of our financial condition and cash flows and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. If actual results were to differ significantly from estimates made, the reported results could be materially affected. We are not currently aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances that would cause our actual results to be materially different from our estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized by the Retail segment at the point-of-sale for merchandise the customer takes possession of at the retail store or when merchandise is shipped to the customer, net of estimated customer returns. Revenue is recognized by the Wholesale segment when merchandise is shipped to the customer, net of estimated customer returns. Revenue is recognized at the completion of a job or service for landscape sales. Revenue is presented on a net basis and does not include any tax assessed by a governmental or municipal authority. Payment for merchandise in our Retail segment is tendered by cash, check, credit card, debit card or gift card. Therefore, our need to collect outstanding accounts receivable for our Retail segment is negligible and mainly results from returned checks or unauthorized credit card transactions. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for our Wholesale segment and landscape service accounts receivable, which management reviews on a regular basis and believes is sufficient to cover potential credit losses and billing adjustments. Deposits for custom orders are recorded as a liability and recognized as a sale upon delivery of the merchandise to the customer. These custom orders, typically for upholstered furniture, are not material. Deposits for landscape services are recorded as a liability and recognized as a sale upon completion of service. Landscape services and related deposits are not material.

We account for a gift card transaction by recording a liability at the time the gift card is issued to the customer in exchange for consideration from the customer. A liability is established and remains on our books until the card is redeemed by the customer, at which time we record the redemption of the card for merchandise as a sale, or when we determine the likelihood of redemption is remote. We determine the probability of the gift cards being redeemed to be remote based on historical redemption patterns. Revenues attributable to the reduction of gift card liabilities for which the likelihood of redemption becomes remote are included in sales and are not material. Our gift cards do not expire.

Sales Return Reserve

We record a reserve for estimated product returns where the sale has occurred during the period reported, but the return is likely to occur subsequent to the period reported. The reserve for estimated product returns is based on our most recent historical return trends. If the actual return rate or experience is materially higher than our estimate, sales returns would be adjusted in the future. As of January 31, 2014 and 2013, reserves for estimated sales returns totaled $17.1 million and $14.4 million, representing 3.2% and 3.3% of total liabilities, respectively.

Marketable Securities

All of our marketable securities as of January 31, 2014 and January 31, 2013 are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, which approximates amortized cost. Interest on these securities, as well as the amortization of discounts and premiums, is included in “Interest income” in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Unrealized gains and losses on these securities (other than mutual funds held in the rabbi trust for the Urban Outfitters, Inc. Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (See Note 3, “Marketable Securities,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements)) are considered temporary and therefore are excluded from earnings and are reported as a component of “ Other comprehensive income” in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and in accumulated other comprehensive loss in shareholders’ equity until realized. Mutual funds held in the rabbi trust have been accounted for under the fair value option, which results in all unrealized gains and losses being recorded in “Interest income” in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Other than temporary impairment losses related to credit losses are considered to be realized

Table of Contents

losses. When available-for-sale securities are sold, the cost of the securities is specifically identified and is used to determine the realized gain or loss. Securities classified as current assets have maturity dates of less than one year from the balance sheet date. Securities classified as non-current assets have maturity dates greater than one year from the balance sheet date. Available-for-sale securities such as auction rate securities that fail at auction and do not liquidate in the normal course are classified as non-current assets.

Inventories

We value our inventories, which consist primarily of general consumer merchandise held for sale, at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out method and includes the cost of merchandise and import related costs, including freight, import taxes and agent commissions. A periodic review of inventory is performed in order to determine if inventory is properly stated at the lower of cost or market. Factors related to current inventories such as future expected consumer demand and fashion trends, current aging, current and anticipated retail markdowns or wholesale discounts and class or type of inventory are analyzed to determine estimated net realizable value. Criteria that we utilize to quantify aging trends includes factors such as average selling cycle and seasonality of merchandise, the historical rate at which merchandise has sold below cost during the average selling cycle and the value and nature of merchandise currently priced below original cost. A provision is recorded to reduce the cost of inventories to the estimated net realizable values, if appropriate. The majority of inventory at January 31, 2014 and 2013 consisted of finished goods. Unfinished goods and work-in-process were not material to the overall net inventory value. Net inventories as of January 31, 2014 and January 31, 2013 totaled $311.2 million and $282.4 million, representing 14.0% and 15.7% of total assets, respectively. Any significant unanticipated changes in the risk factors noted within this report could have a significant impact on the value of our inventories and our reported operating results.

Adjustments to provisions related to the net realizable value of our inventories are primarily based on the market value of our annual physical inventories, cycle counts and recent historical trends. Our estimates generally have been accurate and our reserve methods have been applied on a consistent basis. We expect the amount of our reserves and related inventories to increase over time as we increase our sales.

Long-Lived Assets

Our long-lived assets consist principally of store leasehold improvements, buildings and furniture and fixtures, and are included in the “Property and equipment, net” line item in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Store leasehold improvements are recorded at cost and are amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of the applicable store lease term, including lease renewals which are reasonably assured, or the estimated useful life of the leasehold improvements. The typical initial lease term for our stores is ten years. Buildings are recorded at cost and are amortized using the straight-line method over 39 years. Furniture and fixtures are recorded at cost and are amortized using the straight-line method over their useful life, which is typically five years. Net property and equipment as of January 31, 2014 and January 31, 2013 totaled $806.9 million and $733.4 million, representing 36.3% and 40.8% of total assets, respectively.

In assessing potential impairment of these assets, we make estimates regarding forecasted operating results and cash flows on a store-by-store basis. Newly opened stores may take time to generate positive operating and cash flow results. Factors such as store type (e.g., mall versus free-

standing), store location (e.g., urban area versus college campus or suburb), current marketplace awareness of our brands, local customer demographic data and current fashion trends are all considered in determining the time frame required for a store to achieve positive financial results, which, in general, is assumed to be within three years from the date a store location has opened. We record impairment losses when events indicate that an asset may be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the assets. For fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, impairment losses were not material.

We have not historically encountered material early retirement charges related to our long-lived assets. The cost of assets sold or retired and the related accumulated depreciation or amortization is removed from the accounts with any resulting gain or loss included in net income. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Major renovations or improvements that extend the service lives of our assets are capitalized over the extension period or life of the improvement, whichever is less.

Accounting for Income Taxes

As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the tax jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating our actual current tax obligations together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of certain items for tax and accounting purposes, such as depreciation of property and equipment and valuation of inventories. These temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. Actual results could differ from this assessment if adequate taxable income is not generated in future periods. Net deferred tax assets as of January 31, 2014 and January 31, 2013 totaled $66.8 million and $41.1 million representing, 3.0% and 2.3% of total assets, respectively.

To the extent we believe that recovery of an asset is at risk, we establish valuation allowances. To the extent we establish valuation allowances or increase the allowances in a period, we record additional income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Valuation allowances were $0.1 million as of January 31, 2014 and $2.1 million as of January 31, 2013. Valuation allowances are based on evidence of our ability to generate sufficient taxable income in certain foreign and state jurisdictions. In the future, if enough evidence of our ability to generate sufficient future taxable income in these jurisdictions becomes apparent, we would be required to reduce our valuation allowances, resulting in a reduction in income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. On a quarterly basis, management evaluates the likelihood that we will realize the deferred tax assets and adjusts the valuation allowances, if appropriate.

We record uncertain tax positions on the basis of a two-step process whereby (1) we determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.

 

28


Table of Contents

Our tax liability for uncertain tax positions contains uncertainties because we are required to make assumptions and to apply judgment to estimate the exposures associated with our various filing positions. Although we believe that the judgments and estimates discussed herein are reasonable, actual results may differ, and we may be exposed to losses or gains that could be material.

We consider the earnings of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries to be indefinitely invested outside the United States on the basis of estimates that future domestic cash generation will be sufficient to meet future domestic cash needs and our specific plans for reinvestment of those subsidiary earnings. Should we decide to repatriate the foreign earnings, we would need to adjust our income tax provision in the period we determined that the earnings will no longer be indefinitely invested outside the United States.

Accounting for Contingencies

From time to time, we are named as a defendant in legal actions arising from our normal business activities. We are required to record an estimated loss contingency when information available prior to issuance of our financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Accounting for contingencies arising from contractual disputes or legal proceedings requires management to use its best judgment when estimating an accrual related to such contingencies. As additional information becomes known, our accrual for a loss contingency could fluctuate, thereby creating variability in our results of operations from period to period. Likewise, an actual loss arising from a loss contingency which significantly exceeds the amount accrued in our financial statements could have a material adverse impact on our operating results for the period in which such actual loss becomes known.

Share-Based Compensation

Accounting for share-based compensation requires measurement of compensation cost for all share-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period, net of estimated forfeitures.

We use a lattice binomial pricing model to determine the fair value of our stock options and stock appreciation rights. This model uses assumptions including the risk free rate of interest, expected volatility of our stock price and expected life of the awards. A Monte Carlo simulation, which utilizes similar assumptions, is used to determine the fair value of performance-based awards. We review our assumptions and the valuations provided by independent third-party valuation advisors in order to determine the fair value of share-based compensation awards at the date of grant. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of these share-based payment awards represent our best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of judgment. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.

Additionally, we make certain estimates about the number of awards which will become vested under performance-based incentive plans. We record expense for performance-based awards based on our current expectations of the probable number of shares that will ultimately vest. The estimation of share-based awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from our current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised and could be materially different from share-based compensation expense recorded in prior periods.

Table of Contents

We also estimate the expected forfeiture rate. We consider many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards and historical experience. We revise our forfeiture rates, when necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those originally estimated. As a result, if the actual forfeiture rate is different from the estimate at the completion of the vesting period, the share-based compensation expense may not be comparable to amounts recorded in prior periods.

Fiscal 2014 Compared to Fiscal 2013

Net sales in fiscal 2014 increased by 10.4% to $3.1 billion, from $2.8 billion in fiscal 2013. The $291.7 million increase was attributable to a $262.7 million, or 9.9%, increase in Retail segment net sales and a $29.0 million, or 19.5%, increase in Wholesale segment net sales.

The growth in Retail segment net sales during fiscal 2014 was driven by increases of $144.2 million, or 6.0%, in Retail segment comparable net sales, which includes our direct-to-consumer channel, and $118.5 million in non-comparable and new store net sales. Our total company comparable Retail segment net sales increase was comprised of increases of 31.7% and 10.1% at Free

People and Anthropologie, respectively, and was partially offset by a decrease of 0.6% at Urban Outfitters. The increase in Retail segment comparable net sales was driven by continued growth in the direct-to-consumer channel for all brands and positive comparable store net sales at Anthropologie and Free People. Direct-to-consumer net sales were driven by an increase in website and mobile application traffic, a higher average order value and an improved conversion rate. The positive comparable store net sales resulted from increases in units per transaction and transactions, which were partially offset by a decrease in average unit selling price. The increase in net sales attributable to non-comparable and new stores was primarily the result of opening 87 new stores in fiscal 2014 and 2013 that were not in operation for the full comparable periods. Thus far during the first quarter of fiscal 2015, comparable Retail segment net sales are low single-digit negative.

The increase in Wholesale segment net sales in fiscal 2014 was due to higher sales to both specialty and department stores driven by increases in transactions.

Gross profit rates in fiscal 2014 increased to 37.6% of net sales, or $1.2 billion, from 36.9% of net sales, or $1.0 billion, in fiscal 2013. The increase in the gross profit rate was primarily due to improved merchandise margins largely due to significant improvement in the Anthropologie brand markdown rate. This improvement was partially offset by increased markdowns at the Urban Outfitters brand in North America. The increased penetration of the direct-to-consumer channel continued to drive store occupancy leverage and delivery expense deleverage. Total inventories at January 31, 2014 increased by $28.8 million, or 10.2%, to $311.2 million from $282.4 million at January 31, 2013. This increase was primarily related to the acquisition of inventories to stock new and non-comparable stores. Comparable Retail segment inventories as of January 31, 2014 grew 2.5%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased during fiscal 2014 to 23.8%, compared to 23.5% for fiscal 2013, primarily due to increases in marketing expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $77.3 million, or 11.8%, to $734.5 million in fiscal 2014, from $657.2 million in fiscal 2013. The dollar increase over the prior year was primarily related to the operating expenses of new stores and increased marketing expenses to support our customer acquisition and retention programs.

Income from operations increased to 13.8% of net sales, or $426.8 million, for fiscal 2014 compared to 13.4% of net sales, or $374.3 million, for fiscal 2013.

Our annual effective income tax rate for fiscal 2014 decreased to 34.0% of income before income taxes compared to 36.8% of income before income taxes for fiscal 2013. The decrease in the fiscal 2014 effective tax rate is due to a higher percentage of foreign taxable income in fiscal 2014, which carries a lower tax rate, a decrease in valuation allowances for foreign operating loss carryforwards and certain nonrecurring tax adjustments. See Note 8, “Income Taxes,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for a reconciliation of the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate to our effective tax rate. We expect the tax rate for fiscal 2015 to be approximately 35.0%.

Fiscal 2013 Compared to Fiscal 2012

Net sales in fiscal 2013 increased by 13.0% to $2.8 billion, from $2.5 billion in the prior fiscal year. The $321.1 million increase was attributable to a $305.5 million, or 13.1%, increase in Retail segment net sales and a $15.6 million, or 11.8%, increase in our Wholesale segment net sales.

Table of Contents

The growth in Retail segment net sales during fiscal 2013 was driven by increases of $157.7 million in non-comparable and new store net sales and $147.8 million, or 6.9%, in Retail segment comparable net sales, which includes our direct-to-consumer channel. Our total company comparable Retail segment net sales increase was comprised of increases of 21.8%, 8.0% and 3.6% at Free People, Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie, respectively, and was driven by continued growth in the direct-to-consumer channel partially offset by negative comparable store net sales. The increase in net sales attributable to non-comparable and new stores was primarily the result of opening 106 new stores in fiscal 2013 and 2012 that were not in operation for the full comparable periods. The direct-to-consumer net sales increase was driven by increased traffic to our websites, which was partially offset by a decline in average order value and conversion rate. The negative comparable store net sales resulted from decreases in average units per transaction and average unit sales prices, partially offset by an increase in transactions.

The increase in our Free People wholesale net sales of $21.1 million, or 16.6%, was driven by an increase in transactions, which was partially offset by a decline in average unit selling prices. The Free People wholesale net sales increase was partially offset by a $5.5 million decline in Leifsdottir net sales resulting from the discontinuation of wholesale distribution of the Leifsdottir brand, which began in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and was principally completed by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2012.

Gross profit rates in fiscal 2013 increased to 36.9% of net sales, or $1.0 billion, from 34.8% of net sales, or $860.5 million, in fiscal 2012. The increase in the rate was primarily due to a reduction in merchandise markdowns. Total Company inventories at January 31, 2013 increased by $32.3 million, or 12.9%, to $282.4 million from $250.1 million at January 31, 2012. This increase was primarily related to the acquisition of inventory to stock new and non-comparable stores and to support the significant growth in the direct-to-consumer channel. Comparable Retail segment inventories as of January 31, 2013 grew 5.7%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales for fiscal 2013, increased to 23.5% of net sales versus 23.3% of net sales for fiscal 2012. This increase was primarily due to the deleveraging of direct selling controllable expenses driven by negative comparable store net sales. In fiscal 2013, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $81.4 million, or 14.1%, to $657.2 million, from $575.8 million in fiscal 2012. The dollar increase over the prior year is primarily related to the operating expenses of new and non-comparable stores.

Income from operations increased to 13.4% of net sales, or $374.3 million, for fiscal 2013 compared to 11.5% of net sales, or $284.7 million, for fiscal 2012.

Our annual effective income tax rate for fiscal 2013 increased to 36.8% of income before income taxes compared to 35.9% of income before income taxes for fiscal 2012. The increase in the fiscal 2013 effective tax rate is partially due to certain nonrecurring state and foreign tax adjustments. See Note 8, “Income Taxes,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for a reconciliation of the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate to our effective tax rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $890.3 million as of January 31, 2014 as compared to $623.4 million as of January 31, 2013 and $362.0 million as of January 31, 2012. The

$266.9 million increase in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities during fiscal 2014 was primarily a result of $423.2 million from cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by $186.1 million cash paid for property and equipment.

Cash provided by operating activities for fiscal 2014, increased by $27.5 million to $423.2 million from $395.7 million in fiscal 2013. The increase primarily consists of changes in working capital driven by the timing of accounts payable disbursements. Our working capital as of year-end for fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $663.2 million, $622.1 million and $363.5 million, respectively. Changes in working capital primarily relate to changes in the volume of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.

Cash used in investing activities during fiscal 2014 was $462.2 million, consisting of $186.1 million used primarily for the construction of new stores and the expansion of our home offices and $276.1 million in net purchases of marketable securities.

Cash provided by financing activities during fiscal 2014 of $33.7 million was primarily related to the exercise of stock options and related tax benefits on stock option exercises.

During the last three years, we have satisfied our cash requirements through our cash flow from operating activities. Our primary uses of cash have been to open new stores, purchase inventories and expand our fulfillment and home office facilities. We have also continued to invest in our omni-channel efforts, technology and our international operations. Cash paid for property and equipment for fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012 were $186.1 million, $168.9 million, and $190.0 million, respectively, and were primarily used to expand and support our store base, home offices and distribution and fulfillment facilities.

During fiscal 2015, we plan to construct and open approximately 35 to 40 new stores, renovate certain existing stores, continue to expand our home offices in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, increase our fulfillment capabilities, upgrade our systems, increase our investments in omni-channel marketing and purchase inventories for our Retail and Wholesale segments at levels appropriate to maintain our planned sales growth. We believe that our marketing, social media, merchandise expansion, website and mobile initiatives are a significant contributor to our Retail segment sales growth. During fiscal 2015, we plan to continue our investment in these initiatives for all brands. We plan to increase the level of capital expenditures during fiscal 2015 to approximately $215 to $235 million. We believe that our new store investments have the potential to generate positive cash flow within a year. We believe the expansion of our fulfillment and home office facilities is necessary to adequately support our growth. We may also enter into one or more acquisitions or transactions related to the expansion of our brand offerings.

On August 27, 2013, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of 10.0 million common shares under a share repurchase program. We repurchased and subsequently retired 0.3 million common shares at a total cost of $10.7 million during fiscal 2014. The average cost per share of the repurchases for fiscal 2014 was $35.61, including commissions.

On February 28, 2006, a stock repurchase authorization by our Board of Directors allowed us to repurchase up to 8.0 million common shares. On November 16, 2010 and August 25, 2011, two additional stock repurchase authorizations by our Board of Directors allowed us to repurchase, in

aggregate, 20.0 million additional common shares. We repurchased all of the remaining outstanding shares available under these authorizations during fiscal 2012. During fiscal 2012, we repurchased and retired 20.5 million common shares for approximately $538.3 million.

In addition to the shares repurchased under the share repurchase program, during fiscal 2014 and 2012, we acquired and subsequently retired 9,520 and 282,813 common shares at a total cost of $0.4 million and $7.2 million, respectively, from employees to meet minimum statutory tax withholding requirements.

Subsequent to January 31, 2014, we repurchased and retired 4,523,220 common shares at a total cost of $162.0 million or an average cost of $35.83 per share, including commissions.

On April 25, 2011, we amended our line of credit facility (the “Line”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. This amendment extended the term of the Line for three years, increased the accordion feature from $100.0 million to $175.0 million, reduced the interest rate margin for certain cash advances and modified certain financial covenants and terms. The Line has been subsequently amended from time to time to join certain subsidiaries as borrowers and guarantors, to revise certain financial covenants, and to use the accordion feature of the Line to increase the total available credit under the Line to $175.0 million. The Line contains a sub-limit for borrowings by our European subsidiaries that are guaranteed by us. Cash advances bear interest at LIBOR plus 0.50% to 1.50% based on the Company’s achievement of prescribed adjusted debt ratios. The Line subjects us to various restrictive covenants, including maintenance of certain financial ratios such as adjusted debt. The covenants also include limitations on our capital expenditures and the payment of cash dividends. As of and during the year ended January 31, 2014, there were no borrowings under the Line and we were in compliance with all covenants under the Line. Outstanding letters of credit and stand-by letters of credit under the Line totaled approximately $69.8 million as of January 31, 2014. The available credit under the Line was $105.2 million as of January 31, 2014.

On March 27, 2014, we amended and restated our existing line of credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“the Amended and Restated Line”). The Amended and Restated Line is a five year $175.0 million revolving credit facility with an accordion feature allowing for an increase of up to $50.0 million at our discretion. The Amended and Restated Line contains a sub-limit for borrowings by our subsidiaries that are guaranteed by us. Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Line, at the borrowers’ option, the aggregate principal balance of the amounts advanced or portions thereof will bear interest at (a) the base rate, or (b) the applicable LIBOR Rate plus a margin that can range from 0.50% to 1.50%. The Amended and Restated Line subjects us to various restrictive covenants, including maintenance of certified financial covenants. We expect the Amended and Restated Line to satisfy our credit needs through at least fiscal 2015.

(1) Includes store operating leases, which generally provide for payment of direct operating costs in addition to rent. The obligation amounts shown above only reflect our future minimum lease payments as the direct operating costs fluctuate over the term of the lease. Additionally, there are 26 locations where a percentage of sales are paid in lieu of a fixed minimum rent that are not reflected in the above table. Total rent expense related to these 26 locations was approximately $4,036 for fiscal 2014. It is common for the lease agreements for our European locations to adjust the minimum rental due to the current market rate multiple times during the term. The table above includes our current contractual payments for these locations. Amounts noted above include commitments for 27 executed leases for stores not opened as of January 31, 2014.
(2) Our merchandise commitments are cancellable with no or limited recourse available to the vendor until the merchandise shipping date.
(3) Includes construction contracts with contractors that are fully liquidated upon the completion of construction, which is typically within 12 months.
(4) Tax contingencies include $1,614 that is classified as a current liability in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 31, 2014. Tax contingencies in the table above do not show an existing liability of $4,306 because we cannot reasonably estimate in which future periods these amounts will ultimately be settled. As a result, the $4,306 liability was classified as a non-current liability in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 31, 2014.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of and for the three fiscal years ended January 31, 2014, except for operating leases entered into in the normal course of business, we were not party to any material off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a description of recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements, including the dates of adoption and impacts on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Seasonality and Quarterly Results

Our business experiences seasonal fluctuations in net sales and operating income, with a more significant portion typically realized from August 1 to December 31 of each year (the back-to-school and holiday periods). Historically, and consistent with the retail industry, this seasonality also impacts our working capital requirements, particularly with regard to inventory. The following tables set forth our net sales, gross profit, net income and net income per common share (basic and diluted) for each quarter during the last two fiscal years and the amount of such net sales and net income, respectively, as a percentage of annual net sales and annual net income. The unaudited financial information has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to the following types of market risks—fluctuations in the purchase price of merchandise, as well as other goods and services, the value of foreign currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar, and changes in interest rates. Due to our inventory turnover rate and our historical ability to pass through the impact of any generalized changes in our cost of goods to our customers through pricing adjustments, commodity and other product risks are not expected to be material. We purchase the majority of our merchandise in U.S. dollars, including a portion of the goods for our stores located in Canada and Europe.

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates to our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. As of January 31, 2014 and 2013, our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities consisted primarily of cash on hand and in banks, money market accounts, corporate bonds rated “A” or better, municipal and pre-refunded municipal bonds rated “A” or better, treasury bills, certificates of deposit, federal government agencies, commercial paper rated “A” or better, which bear interest at variable rates, and mutual funds. Due to the short average maturity and conservative nature of our investment portfolio, we believe a 100 basis point change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements. As the interest rates on a material portion of our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are variable, a change in interest rates earned on the cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities would impact interest income along with cash flows, but would not impact the fair market value of the related underlying instruments.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we sold all of our remaining Auction Rate Securities (“ARS”) for $4,580 in cash. Our ARS had a par value and a recorded fair value of $4,925 and $4,330, respectively, prior to the sale and as of January 31, 2013.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

The information required by this Item is incorporated by reference from Item 7: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Seasonality and Quarterly Results and from our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this review, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of January 31, 2014.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in the Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our system of internal control is designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the design and effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the Internal Control—Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of January 31, 2014.

The effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2014 was audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report that is included on page 39 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information

On March 27, 2014, we amended and restated our existing line of credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“the Amended and Restated Line”). The Amended and Restated Line is a five year $175.0 million revolving credit facility with an accordion feature allowing for an increase of up to $50.0 million at our discretion. The Amended and Restated Line contains a sub-limit for borrowings by our subsidiaries that are guaranteed by us. Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Line, at the borrowers’ option, the aggregate principal balance of the amounts advanced or portions thereof will bear interest at (a) the base rate, or (b) the applicable LIBOR Rate plus a margin that can range from 0.50% to 1.50%. The Amended and Restated Line subjects us to various restrictive covenants, including maintenance of certified financial covenants. We expect the Amended and Restated Line to satisfy our credit needs through at least fiscal 2015.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Urban Outfitters, Inc.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Urban Outfitters, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of January 31, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of January 31, 2014, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended and our report dated April 1, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Urban Outfitters, Inc.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Urban Outfitters, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of January 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Urban Outfitters, Inc. and subsidiaries as of January 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2014, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated April 1, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

1. Nature of Business

Urban Outfitters, Inc. (the “Company” or “Urban Outfitters”), which was founded in 1970, was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1976. The principal business activity of the Company is the operation of a general consumer product retail and wholesale business selling to customers through various channels including retail stores, websites, catalogs and mobile applications. As of January 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company operated 511 and 476 stores, respectively. Stores located in the United States totaled 442 as of January 31, 2014 and 415 as of January 31, 2013. Operations in Europe and Canada included 44 stores and 25 stores as of January 31, 2014, respectively, and 38 stores and 23 stores as of January 31, 2013, respectively. In addition, the Company’s Wholesale segment sold and distributed apparel to approximately 1,400 better department and specialty retailers worldwide.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Fiscal Year-End

The Company operates on a fiscal year ending January 31 of each year. All references to fiscal years of the Company refer to the fiscal years ended on January 31 in those years. For example, the Company’s fiscal 2014 ended on January 31, 2014.

Principles of Consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash and short-term highly liquid investments with maturities of less than three months at the time of purchase. These short-term highly liquid investments are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash and so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. As of January 31, 2014 and 2013, cash and cash equivalents included cash on hand, cash in banks, money market accounts and marketable securities with maturities of less than three months at the time of purchase.

Marketable Securities

All of the Company’s marketable securities as of January 31, 2014 and January 31, 2013 are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, which approximates amortized cost. Interest on these securities, as well as the amortization of discounts and premiums, is included in interest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Unrealized gains and losses on these securities (other than mutual funds held in the rabbi trust) are considered temporary and therefore are excluded from earnings and are reported as a component of “Other comprehensive income” in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and in accumulated other comprehensive loss in shareholders’ equity until realized. Mutual funds held in the rabbi trust have been accounted for under the fair value option, which results in all unrealized gains and losses being recorded in “Interest income” in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Other than temporary impairment losses related to credit losses are considered to be realized losses. When available-for-sale securities are sold, the cost of the securities is specifically identified and is used to determine the realized gain or loss. Securities classified as current assets have maturity dates of less than one year from the balance sheet date. Securities classified as non-current assets have maturity dates greater than one year from the balance sheet date. Available-for-sale securities such as auction rate securities that fail at auction and do not liquidate in the normal course are classified as non-current assets.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company sold all of its remaining auction rate securities (“ARS”) for $4,580 in cash. The Company’s ARS had a par value and a recorded fair value of $4,925 and $4,330, respectively, prior to the sale and as of January 31, 2013.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable primarily consists of amounts due from our wholesale customers as well as credit card receivables outstanding with third-party credit card vendors. The activity of the allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended January 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was as follows:

   $ 1,614         5,019         (4,952   $ 1,681   

Year ended January 31, 2012

   $ 1,015         3,920         (3,321   $ 1,614   

Inventories

Inventories, which consist primarily of general consumer merchandise held for sale, are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out method and includes the cost of merchandise and import related costs, including freight, import taxes and agent commissions. A periodic review of inventory is performed in order to determine if inventory is properly stated at the lower of cost or market. Factors related to current inventories such as future expected consumer demand and fashion trends, current aging, current and anticipated retail markdowns or wholesale

discounts, and class or type of inventory are analyzed to determine estimated net realizable value. Criteria utilized by the Company to quantify aging trends include factors such as average selling cycle and seasonality of merchandise, the historical rate at which merchandise has sold below cost during the average selling cycle, and the value and nature of merchandise currently priced below original cost. A provision is recorded to reduce the cost of inventories to the estimated net realizable values, if appropriate. The majority of inventory at January 31, 2014 and 2013 consisted of finished goods. Unfinished goods and work-in-process were not material to the overall net inventory value.

Adjustments to reserves related to the net realizable value of inventories are primarily based on the market value of the Company’s annual physical inventories, cycle counts and recent historical trends. The Company’s estimates generally have been accurate and its reserve methods have been applied on a consistent basis. The Company expects the amount of its reserves and related inventories to increase over time as it increases its sales.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost and primarily consist of store related leasehold improvements, buildings and furniture and fixtures. Depreciation is typically computed using the straight-line method over five years for furniture and fixtures, the lesser of the lease term or useful life for leasehold improvements, three to ten years for other operating equipment and 39 years for buildings. Major renovations or improvements that extend the service lives of our assets are capitalized over the extension period or life of the improvement, whichever is less.

The Company reviews long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. This determination includes evaluation of factors such as future asset utilization and future net undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets. Management believes there has been no material impairment of the Company’s long-lived assets as of January 31, 2014.

Deferred Rent

Rent expense from leases is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease period. The net excess of rent expense over the actual cash paid is recorded as deferred rent. In addition, certain store leases provide for contingent rentals when sales exceed specified break-point levels that are weighted based upon historical cyclicality. For leases where achievement of these levels is considered probable based on cumulative lease year revenue versus the established breakpoint at any given point in time, the Company accrues a contingent rent liability and a corresponding rent expense.

Operating Leases

The Company leases its retail stores under operating leases. Many of the lease agreements contain rent holidays, rent escalation clauses and contingent rent provisions or some combination of these items.

The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period commencing on the date that the premises are available from the landlord. The lease period includes the construction period required to make the leased space suitable for operating during which time the Company is not permitted to occupy the space. For purposes of calculating straight-line rent expense, the commencement date of the lease term reflects the date the Company takes possession of the building for initial construction and setup.

The Company classifies tenant improvement allowances in its consolidated financial statements under deferred rent and amortizes them on a straight-line basis over the related lease period. Tenant improvement allowance activity is presented as part of cash flows from operating activities in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized by the Retail segment at the point-of-sale for merchandise the customer takes possession of at the retail store or when merchandise is shipped to the customer, net of estimated customer returns. Revenue is recognized by the Wholesale segment when merchandise is shipped to the customer, net of estimated customer returns. Revenue is recognized at the completion of a job or service for landscape sales. Revenue is presented on a net basis and does not include any tax assessed by a governmental or municipal authority. Payment for merchandise in the Company’s Retail segment is tendered by cash, check, credit card, debit card or gift card. Therefore, the Company’s need to collect outstanding accounts receivable for its Retail segment is negligible and mainly results from returned checks or unauthorized credit card transactions. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for its Wholesale segment and landscape service accounts receivable, which management reviews on a regular basis and believes is sufficient to cover potential credit losses and billing adjustments. Deposits for custom orders are recorded as a liability and recognized as a sale upon delivery of the merchandise to the customer. These custom orders, typically for upholstered furniture, are not material. Deposits for landscape services are recorded as a liability and recognized as a sale upon completion of service. Landscape services and related deposits are not material.

The Company accounts for a gift card transaction by recording a liability at the time the gift card is issued to the customer in exchange for consideration from the customer. A liability is established and remains on the Company’s books until the card is redeemed by the customer, at which time the Company records the redemption of the card for merchandise as a sale, or when it is determined the likelihood of redemption is remote. The Company determines the probability of the gift cards being redeemed to be remote based on historical redemption patterns. Revenues attributable to the reduction of gift card liabilities for which the likelihood of redemption becomes remote are included in sales and are not material. The Company’s gift cards do not expire.

The Company records a reserve for estimated product returns where the sale has occurred during the period reported, but the return is likely to occur subsequent to the period reported. The reserve for estimated product returns is based on the Company’s most recent historical return trends. If the actual return rate or experience is materially higher than the Company’s estimate, additional sales returns would be recorded in the future. The activity of the sales returns reserve for the years ended January 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was as follows:

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales includes the following: the cost of merchandise; obsolescence and shrink provisions; store occupancy costs including rent and depreciation; delivery expense; in-bound and outbound freight; customs related taxes and duties; inventory acquisition and purchasing costs; design costs; warehousing and handling costs and other inventory acquisition related costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses includes expenses such as: direct selling and selling supervisory expenses; marketing expenses; various corporate expenses such as information systems, finance, loss prevention, talent acquisition, home office and executive management expenses; share-based compensation expense; and other associated general expenses.

Shipping and Handling Revenues and Costs

The Company includes shipping and handling revenues in net sales and shipping and handling costs in cost of sales. The Company’s shipping and handling revenues consist of amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling merchandise. Shipping and handling costs include shipping supplies, related labor costs and third-party shipping costs.

Advertising

The Company expenses the costs of advertising when the advertising occurs, except for direct-to-consumer advertising, which is capitalized and amortized over its expected period of future benefit. Advertising costs primarily relate to our Retail segment marketing expenses which are comprised of web marketing, catalog printing, paper, postage and other costs related to production of photographic images used in our catalogs and on our websites. The catalog printing, paper, postage and other costs

are amortized over the period in which the customer responds to the marketing material determined based on historical customer response trends to a similar season’s advertisement. Amortization rates are reviewed on a regular basis during the fiscal year and may be adjusted if the predicted customer response appears materially different than the historical response rate. The Company has the ability to measure the response rate to direct marketing early in the course of the advertisement based on its customers’ reference to a specific catalog or by product placed and sold. The average amortization period for a catalog and related items are typically one to three months. If there is no expected future benefit, the cost of advertising is expensed when incurred. Advertising costs reported as prepaid expenses were $2,067 and $2,716 as of January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Advertising expenses were $91,615, $81,944 and $71,684 for fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Start-up Costs

The Company expenses all start-up and organization costs as incurred, including travel, training, recruiting, salaries and other operating costs, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Website Development Costs

The Company capitalizes applicable costs incurred during the application and infrastructure development stage and expenses costs incurred during the planning and operating stage. During fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not capitalize any internally generated internal-use software development costs because substantially all costs were incurred during the planning and operating stages, and costs incurred during the application and infrastructure development stage were not material.

Income Taxes

The Company utilizes a balance sheet approach to provide for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of net operating loss carryforwards and temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Investment tax credits or grants are accounted for in the period earned. The Company files a consolidated United States federal income tax return (see Note 8, “Income Taxes” for a further discussion of income taxes). The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Net Income Per Common Share

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding. Common share equivalents include the effect of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SAR’s”), restricted stock units (“RSU’s”) and performance stock units (“PSU’s”).

Comprehensive Income and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive income is comprised of two subsets—net income and other comprehensive income/loss. Amounts included in accumulated other comprehensive loss relate to foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities. The foreign currency translation adjustments are not adjusted for income taxes because these adjustments relate to non-U.S. subsidiaries for which foreign earnings have been designated as permanently reinvested. Accumulated other comprehensive loss consisted of foreign currency translation losses of ($1,388) and ($8,582) as of January 31, 2014 and January 31, 2013, respectively, and unrealized gains and (losses), net of tax, on marketable securities of $420 and ($200) as of January 31, 2014 and January 31, 2013, respectively. The tax effect of the unrealized gains and (losses) on marketable securities recorded in comprehensive income was ($378), ($672) and ($556) during fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Gross realized gains and losses are included in other income in the Consolidated Statements of Income and were not material to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for all three years presented.

Foreign Currency Translation

The financial statements of the Company’s foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at current exchange rates as of the balance sheet date, equity accounts at historical exchange rates, while income statement accounts are translated at the average rates in effect during the year. Translation adjustments are not included in determining net income, but are included in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” within shareholders’ equity. Transactional gains and losses included in operating results for fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 were not material.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable. The Company manages the credit risk associated with cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities by investing in high-quality securities held with reputable trustees and, by policy, limiting the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer or issue, as well as providing limitations on investment maturities. The Company’s investment policy requires that the majority of its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are invested in corporate and municipal bonds rated “A” or better, commercial paper and federally insured or guaranteed investment vehicles such as certificates of deposit, United States treasury bills and federal government agencies. Receivables from third-party credit cards are processed by financial institutions, which are monitored for financial stability. The Company regularly evaluates the financial condition of its Wholesale segment customers. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts reflects current market conditions and management’s assessment regarding the collectability of its accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses from maintaining cash accounts in excess of such limits. Management believes that it is not exposed to any significant risks related to its cash accounts.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standards update that amends existing guidance by requiring that additional information be disclosed about items reclassified (“reclassification adjustments”) out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The additional information includes separately stating the total change for each component of other comprehensive income (for example, unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities or foreign currency translation) and separately disclosing both current-period other comprehensive income and reclassification adjustments. Entities are also required to present, either on the face of the income statement or in the notes to the financial statements, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income as separate line items of net income, but only if the entire amount reclassified must be reclassified to net income in the same reporting period (see Note 11, “Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss”). For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity must cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. This update became effective for the Company beginning February 1, 2013. Other than the change in presentation, this accounting standards update did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Proceeds from the sale and maturities of available-for-sale securities were $451,866, $207,576 and $414,769 in fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company included in “Interest income,” in the Consolidated Statements of Income, a net realized loss of $101 during fiscal 2014, a net realized gain of $248 during fiscal 2013 and a net realized gain of $1,171 during fiscal 2012. Amortization of discounts and premiums, net, resulted in a reduction of “Interest Income” of $10,932, $5,276 and $7,373 for fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Mutual funds held in an irrevocable rabbi trust for the Urban Outfitters, Inc. Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (“NQDC”), which was established during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. These assets are a source of funds to match the funding obligations to participants in the NQDC but are subject to the Company’s general creditors. The Company elected the fair value option for financial assets for the mutual funds held in the rabbi trust resulting in all unrealized gains and losses being recorded in “Interest income” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and not as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.

The following tables show the gross unrealized losses and fair value of the Company’s marketable securities with unrealized losses that are not deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired aggregated by the length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, at January 31, 2014 and January 31, 2013, respectively.

As of January 31, 2014 and 2013, there were a total of 219 and 342 securities with unrealized loss positions within the Company’s portfolio, respectively.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company sold all of its remaining ARS for $4,580 in cash. The Company’s ARS had a par value and a recorded fair value of $4,925 and $4,330, respectively, prior to the sale in April 2013 and as of January 31, 2013. As of January 31, 2013, there was $595 of an unrealized loss position due to impairment of ARS held by the Company.

4. Fair Value

The Company utilizes a hierarchy that prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used for the various valuation techniques (market approach, income approach and cost approach that relate to its financial assets and financial liabilities). The levels of the hierarchy are described as follows:

 

   

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

   

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; these include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

   

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions.

Management’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of financial assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s financial assets that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis are presented in the table below:

Level 1 assets consist of financial instruments whose value has been based on inputs that use, as their basis, readily observable market data that are actively quoted and are validated through external sources, including third-party pricing services and brokers.

Level 2 assets consist of financial instruments whose value has been based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets as well as quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3 consists of financial instruments where there was no active market as of January 31, 2014 and 2013. During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company sold all of its remaining ARS for $4,580 in cash. As a result, there were no Level 3 investments as of January 31, 2014. The Company’s ARS had a par value and a recorded fair value of $4,925 and $4,330, respectively, prior to the sale and as of January 31, 2013.

7. Line of Credit Facility

The Company has a line of credit facility (the “Line”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company used the accordion feature of the Line to increase the total available credit under the Line from $100 million to $175 million. The Line contains a sub-limit for borrowings by the Company’s European subsidiaries that are guaranteed by the Company. Cash advances bear interest at LIBOR plus 0.50% to 1.50% based on the Company’s achievement of prescribed adjusted debt ratios. The Line subjects the Company to various restrictive covenants, including maintenance of certain financial ratios such as adjusted debt. The covenants also include limitations on the Company’s capital expenditures and the payment of cash dividends. As of

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

 

January 31, 2014, there were no borrowings under the Line and the Company was in compliance with all covenants. Outstanding letters of credit and stand-by letters of credit under the Line totaled approximately $69,788 as of January 31, 2014. The available credit under the Line was $105,212 as of January 31, 2014.

On March 27, 2014, the Company amended and restated its existing line of credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“the Amended and Restated Line”). The Amended and Restated Line is a five year $175.0 million revolving credit facility with an accordion feature allowing for an increase of up to $50.0 million at the Company’s discretion. The Amended and Restated Line contains a sub-limit for borrowings by the Company’s subsidiaries that are guaranteed by the Company. Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Line, at the borrowers’ option, the aggregate principal balance of the amounts advanced or portions thereof will bear interest at (a) the base rate, or (b) the applicable LIBOR Rate plus a margin that can range from 0.50% to 1.50%. The Amended and Restated Line subjects the Company to various restrictive covenants, including maintenance of certified financial covenants. The Company expects the Amended and Restated Line to satisfy its credit needs through at least fiscal 2015.

As of January 31, 2014, certain non-U.S. subsidiaries of the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $9,732 that do not expire and certain U.S.

subsidiaries of the Company had state net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $2,979 that expire from 2017 through 2033. As of January 31, 2014, the Company had a full valuation allowance for certain foreign net operating loss carryforwards where it was uncertain the carryforwards would be utilized. The Company had no valuation allowance for certain other foreign and state net operating loss carryforwards where management believes it is more likely than not the tax benefit of these carryforwards will be realized. As of January 31, 2014 and 2013, the non-current portion of net deferred tax assets aggregated $38,061 and $26,406, respectively.

The cumulative amount of the Company’s share of undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries for which no deferred taxes have been provided was $204,262 as of January 31, 2014. These earnings are deemed to be permanently re-invested to finance growth programs. It is not practical to estimate the income tax liability that might be incurred if such earnings were remitted to the United States.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the total amounts of gross unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

The total amount of net unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the Company’s effective tax rate were $2,416 and $3,861 as of January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company accrues interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income, which is consistent with the recognition of these items in prior reporting periods. During the years ended January 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized benefit/expense of $1,992, ($541) and $1,334, respectively, related to interest and penalties. The Company accrued $1,078 and $3,070 for the payment of interest and penalties as of January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. During the year ended January 31, 2014, the Company settled its Internal Revenue Service examination for the periods ended January 31, 2011 and 2012. The Company has recognized the tax effect of this settlement for previous and future periods in the end of year balances. The Company’s state and foreign filings are generally subject to audit from fiscal 2004 to 2013. It is possible that the federal or any state examination may be resolved within twelve months. Due to the

potential for resolution of federal and foreign audit and state examinations, and the expiration of various statutes of limitation, it is possible that the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits balance may change within the next twelve months by a range of zero to $2,007.

9. Share-Based Compensation

The Company’s 2008 and 2004 Stock Incentive Plans each authorize up to 10,000,000 common shares, which can be granted as RSU’s, unrestricted shares, incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, PSU’s or SAR’s. Awards under these plans generally expire seven or ten years from the date of grant, thirty days after termination of employment or six months after the date of death or termination due to disability of the grantee. As of January 31, 2014, there were 5,760,409 and 32,682 common shares available to grant under the 2008 and 2004 Stock Incentive Plans, respectively.

A lattice binomial pricing model (“the Model”) was used to estimate the fair value of stock options and SAR’s. The Model allows for assumptions such as the risk-free rate of interest, volatility and exercise rate to vary over time reflecting a more realistic pattern of economic and behavioral occurrences. The Company uses historical data on exercise timing to determine the expected life assumption. The risk-free rate of interest for periods within the contractual life of the award is based on U.S. Government Securities Treasury Constant Maturities over the expected term of the equity instrument. The expected volatility is based on a weighted-average of the implied volatility and the Company’s most recent historical volatility.

Based on the Company’s historical experience, it has assumed an annualized forfeiture rate of 5% for its unvested share-based awards granted during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. For share-based awards granted in previous years that remain unvested, an annualized forfeiture rate of 5% has been assumed. The Company will record additional expense if the actual forfeiture rate is lower than it estimated, and will record a recovery of prior expense if the actual forfeiture is higher than estimated.

Share-based compensation expense, included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Income, for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was as follows:

 

     Fiscal Year Ended January 31,

(2) Includes the reversal of $8,800 of previously recognized compensation expense in fiscal 2012, related to 1,054,466 PSU’s, granted to a former executive officer of the Company, that will not vest due to the service requirement not being met.

The total tax benefit associated with share-based compensation expense for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $5,976, $3,921 and $1,058, respectively.

Stock Options

The Company may grant stock options which generally vest over a period of three to five years. Stock options become exercisable over the vesting period in installments determined by the administrator, which can vary depending upon each individual grant. Stock options granted to non-employee directors generally vest over a period of one year. The following weighted-average assumptions were used in the Model to estimate the fair value of stock options at the date of grant:

 

     Fiscal Year Ended January 31,

Total unrecognized compensation cost of stock options granted but not yet vested, as of January 31, 2014, was $767, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average period of 0.6 years.

Stock Appreciation Rights

The Company may grant SAR’s which generally vest over a five year period. Each vested SAR entitles the holder the right to the differential between the value of the Company’s common share price at the date of exercise and the value of the Company’s common share price at the date of grant. The following weighted-average assumptions were used in the Model to estimate the fair value of SAR’s at the date of grant:

There were no tax benefits related to SAR’s for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012. Total unrecognized compensation cost of SAR’s granted, but not yet vested, as of January 31, 2014, was $5,873, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average period of 2.4 years.

Performance Stock Units

The Company may grant PSU’s which vest based on the achievement of various company performance targets and external market conditions. The fair value of the PSU’s are determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. Once the Company determines that it is probable that the performance targets will be met, compensation expense is recorded for these awards. If any of these performance targets are not met, the awards are forfeited. Each PSU is equal to one common share with varying maximum award value limitations. PSU’s typically vest over a five year period.

10. Shareholders’ Equity

On August 27, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of 10,000,000 common shares under a share repurchase program. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014, the Company repurchased and subsequently retired 300,300 common shares at a total cost of $10,695, or an average cost of $35.61 per share, including commissions.

On February 28, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program which authorized the Company to repurchase up to 8,000,000 common shares. On November 16, 2010 and August 25, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved two separate stock repurchase authorizations of 10,000,000 additional common shares. These additional authorizations supplemented the Company’s 2006 repurchase program. The Company repurchased all of the remaining outstanding shares available under these authorizations during fiscal 2012. The Company repurchased and subsequently retired 20,491,530 common shares at a total cost of $538,311, or an average cost of $26.27 per share, including commissions, during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2012. As a result of the share repurchase activity, the Company reduced the balance of additional paid-in-capital to zero during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2012 with subsequent share repurchase activity recorded as a reduction of retained earnings. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2012, the Company reduced retained earnings by $501,676 related to these share repurchases.

For the fiscal years ended January 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, awards to purchase 151,625 common shares ranging in price from $37.65 to $46.02, 2,440,525 common shares ranging in price from $28.49 to $39.58 and 3,836,838 common shares ranging in price from $26.85 to $39.58, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share because the impact would be anti-dilutive.

As of January 31, 2014 and 2013, 1,752,200 and 335,200 contingently issuable awards, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share as they did not meet certain performance criteria.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

Amounts noted above include commitments for 27 executed leases for stores not opened as of January 31, 2014. The majority of our leases allow for renewal options between five and ten years upon expiration of the initial lease term. The store leases generally provide for payment of direct operating costs including real estate taxes. Certain store leases provide for contingent rentals when sales exceed specified levels. Additionally, the Company has entered into store leases that require a percentage of total sales to be paid to landlords in lieu of minimum rent.

The Company also has commitments for un-fulfilled purchase orders for merchandise ordered from our vendors in the normal course of business, which are liquidated within 12 months, of $367,003. The majority of the Company’s merchandise commitments are cancellable with no or limited recourse available to the vendor until the merchandise shipping date. The Company also has commitments related to contracts with construction contractors, fully liquidated upon the completion of construction, which is typically within 12 months, of $29,350.

Benefit Plans

Full and part-time U.S. based employees who are at least 18 years of age are eligible after three months of employment to participate in the Urban Outfitters 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, employees can defer 1% to 25% of compensation as defined. The Company makes matching contributions in cash of $0.25 per employee contribution dollar on the first 6% of the employee contribution. The employees’ contribution is 100% vested while the Company’s matching contribution vests at 20% per year of employee service. The Company’s contributions were $1,770, $1,483 and $1,365 for fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

On November 27, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the terms of the NQDC, which became effective as of February 1, 2013. The NQDC provides certain employees who are limited in their participation under the Plan the opportunity to defer compensation as defined within the NQDC. The Company’s matching contributions are calculated to provide $0.25 per employee contribution dollar on the first 6% of total compensation deferred under the combination of both the Plan and the NQDC. Employee contributions are 100% vested on the contribution date and the Company’s matching contribution is 100% vested upon crediting to participants’ accounts on an annual basis. No matching contributions were made by the Company during fiscal 2014. The NQDC obligation was $1,666 as of January 31, 2014. The Company has purchased investments to fund the NQDC obligation. The investments had an aggregate market value of $1,666 as of January 31, 2014, and are included in “Marketable securities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (see Note 3, “Marketable Securities”).

Contingencies

The Company is party to various legal proceedings arising from normal business activities. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

14. Related Party Transactions

Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP (“DBR”), a law firm, provided general legal services to the Company. Fees paid to DBR during fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012 were $2,637, $1,902 and $2,509, respectively. Harry S. Cherken, Jr., a director of the Company, is a partner at DBR. Amounts due to DBR as of January 31, 2014 and 2013 were approximately $380 and $275, respectively.

15. Segment Reporting

The Company is a global retailer of lifestyle-oriented general merchandise with two reportable segments—“Retail” and “Wholesale.” The Company’s Retail segment consists of the aggregation of its five brands operating through 511 stores under the retail names “Urban Outfitters,” “Anthropologie,” “Free People,” “Terrain” and “Bhldn” and includes their direct-to-consumer channels. Each of the Company’s brands, which include the retail stores and direct-to-consumer channels, are considered an operating segment. Net sales from the Retail segment accounted for more than 94% of total consolidated net sales for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The remaining net sales are derived from the Company’s Wholesale segment that distributes apparel to approximately 1,400 better department and specialty retailers worldwide and to its Retail segment.

The Company has aggregated its brands into a Retail segment based upon their shared management, customer base and economic characteristics. Reporting in this format provides management with the financial information necessary to evaluate the success of the segments and the overall business. The Company evaluates the performance of the segments based on the net sales and pre-tax income from operations (excluding intercompany charges) of the segment. Corporate expenses include expenses incurred and directed by the corporate office that are not allocated to segments. The principal identifiable assets for each reporting segment are inventories and property and equipment. Other assets are comprised primarily of general corporate assets, which principally consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, deferred taxes and prepaid expenses, which are typically not allocated to the Company’s segments. The Company accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as if the sales and transfers were made to third parties making similar volume purchases.

The Company’s omni-channel strategy enhances its customers’ brand experience by providing a seamless approach to the customer shopping experience. The Company has substantially integrated all

available shopping channels, including stores, websites and catalogs (online and through mobile devices). The Company’s investments in areas such as marketing campaigns and technology advancements are designed to generate demand for the omni-channel and not the separate store or direct-to-consumer channels. Store sales are primarily fulfilled from that store’s inventory, but may also be shipped from any of the Company’s fulfillment centers or from a different store location if an item is not available at the original store. Direct-to-consumer orders are primarily shipped to the Company’s customers through its fulfillment centers, but may also be shipped from any store, or a combination of fulfillment centers and stores depending on the availability of a particular item. As the Company’s customers continue to shop across multiple channels, the Company has adapted its approach towards meeting this demand. Due to the availability of like product in a variety of shopping channels, the Company now sources these products utilizing single stock keeping units based on the omni-channel demand rather than the demand of the separate channels. These and other technological capabilities allow the Company to better serve its customers and help it to fill orders that otherwise may have been cancelled due to out-of-stock positions. As a result of changing customer behavior and the substantial integration of the operations of the Company’s store and direct-to-consumer channels, the Company manages and analyzes its performance based on a single omni-channel rather than separate channels and believes that the omni-channel results present the most meaningful and appropriate measure of the Company’s performance.

The Borrowers shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable prior written notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (a “Notice of Borrowing”) not later than 11:00 a.m.(Philadelphia time) (i) on the same Business Day as each Base Rate Loan or Daily One Month LIBOR Loan, (ii) at least three (3) Business Days before each LIBOR Rate Loan, and (iii) at least three (3) London Business Days before each Alternate Currency Loan, of its intention to borrow, specifying: (A) the date of such borrowing, which shall be a Business Day (and a London Business Day with respect to an Alternate Currency Loan); (B) the amount of such borrowing, which shall be in an amount equal to the amount of the Aggregate Commitment then available to the Borrowers, or, if less, (w) with respect to Base Rate Loans, in an aggregate principal amount of $250,000 and increments of $250,000 in excess thereof, (x) with respect to Daily One Month LIBOR Loans, in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 and increments of $250,000 in excess thereof, (y) with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 and increments of $500,000 in excess thereof and (z) with respect to Eurocurrency Loans, the Dollar Equivalent of $100,000 and increments of $100,000 in excess thereof; (C) whether such Loans are to be Base Rate Loans, Daily One Month LIBOR Loans, LIBOR Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, if a combination thereof, the amount allocated to each; and (D) in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan or a Eurocurrency Loan, the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto. Notices received after 11:00 a.m.(Philadelphia time) shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of each Notice of Borrowing.

(b) Authority of Urban. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and requests that Urban execute all Notices of Borrowing, make all elections as to interest rates and take any other actions required of or permitted by the Borrowers under this Agreement, on its respective behalf, in each case, with the same force and effect as if such Borrower had executed such Notice of Borrowing, made such election or taken such other action itself. Any request, application, or other communication by Urban may be relied on by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and any communication by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be made to Urban, and shall be binding on each Borrower, jointly and severally, as fully as if such request, application or other communication were made directly by or to each such Borrower.


(c) Disbursement of Loans. Not later than 2:00 p.m.(Philadelphia time) on the proposed borrowing date, each Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Borrowers, at the office of the Administrative Agent, in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Loans to be made on such borrowing date. The Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of each borrowing requested pursuant to this Section 2.2 in immediately available funds by crediting or wiring such proceeds to the deposit account of the Borrowers identified in the most recent notice substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto (a “Notice of Account Designation”) delivered by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent or as may be otherwise agreed upon by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent from time to time. Subject to Section 4.12 hereof, the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to disburse the portion of the proceeds of any Loan requested pursuant to this Section 2.2 to the extent that any Lender has not made available to the Administrative Agent its Commitment Percentage of such Loan.

Section 2.3 Repayment of Loans.

(a) Repayment of Loans. The Borrowers shall repay the outstanding principal amount of all Loans in full on the Termination Date, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon and fees, costs and expenses.

(b) Mandatory Repayments. (i) If at any time the outstanding principal amount of all Loans exceeds the Aggregate Commitment less the sum of all L/C Obligations, the Borrowers shall repay immediately upon notice from the Administrative Agent, by payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, the Loans, and shall furnish cash collateral reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and/or repay the L/C Obligations, in an amount equal to such excess with each such repayment applied first to the aggregate amount of drawings under Letters of Credit which have not then been reimbursed pursuant to Section 3.8 hereof, second to the principal amount of outstanding Loans, and third to the cash collateral account described in, and to be applied in accordance with the terms of, Section 11.2(b) hereof. Each such repayment shall be accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.7 hereof, and (ii) if at any time the Dollar Equivalent of all Alternate Currency Exposure exceeds the Alternate Currency Sublimit, then the Borrowers shall make a prepayment of Alternate Currency Loans and/or furnish cash collateral reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent or repay the L/C Obligations for the Alternate Currency Letters of Credit in the amount of such excess.

(c) Optional Repayments; Limitation on Prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans and Eurocurrency Loans. The Borrowers: (i) may at any time and from time to time repay all or any portion of the outstanding principal balance of any Base Rate Loan or Daily One Month LIBOR Loan without premium or penalty, provided that any such repayment shall include all accrued interest on the amount repaid; and (ii) may not repay any LIBOR Rate Loan or Eurocurrency Loan on any day other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto unless such repayment is accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount repaid and by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.7 hereof

(d) Survival of Hedging Agreements. Any prepayment shall not affect Borrower’s obligation to continue making payments under any Hedging Agreement (including any swap agreement, as defined in 11 U.S.C. §101) executed by any Borrower after the date hereof (it being acknowledged that no Hedging Agreement is outstanding as of the date hereof), which shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such prepayment, subject to the terms of such Hedging Agreement.


Section 2.4 Notes. The Loans and the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loans shall be evidenced by a Note executed by the Borrowers payable to the order of each Lender representing the Borrowers’ obligation to pay such Lender’s Commitment or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans made and to be made by such Lender to the Borrowers hereunder, plus interest and all other fees, charges and other amounts due thereon. Each Note shall be dated the Closing Date and shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof at the applicable interest rate per annum specified in Section 4.1 hereof.

Section 2.5 Change in Commitment.

(a) Reductions. The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, to permanently reduce, without premium or penalty, (i) the Aggregate Commitment at any time or (ii) portions of the Aggregate Commitment, from time to time, in an aggregate principal amount not less than $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof. Each permanent reduction permitted pursuant to this Section 2.5(a) shall be accompanied by a payment of principal sufficient to reduce the aggregate outstanding Extensions of Credit after such reduction to the Aggregate Commitment as so reduced and if the Aggregate Commitment as so reduced is less than the aggregate amount of all outstanding and unexpired Letters of Credit, the Borrowers shall be required to deposit collateral, of the type and in the amounts required by Section 3.4 hereof, in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitment to zero shall be accompanied by payment of all outstanding Obligations thereunder (and furnishing of cash collateral satisfactory to the Administrative Agent for all L/C Obligations) and shall result in the termination of the Aggregate Commitment. Such cash collateral shall be applied in accordance with Section 11.2(b) hereof. If the reduction of the Aggregate Commitment requires the repayment of any LIBOR Rate Loan, such repayment shall be accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.7 hereof.

(b) Increases. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, the Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, to increase the Aggregate Commitment, in no more than three tranches by an aggregate principal amount not to exceed Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000.00); provided, however, that any such increase shall be in an amount of not less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000). Each such increase permitted pursuant to this Section 2.5(b) shall be conditioned upon Borrowers’ compliance, as of the effective date of any such increase, with the requirements of Section 5.2(b),(c),(d),(e) and (f) hereto, as required by the Administrative Agent, which requirements may include without limitation, the execution and delivery of an amendment agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Lenders, the delivery of replacement or additional promissory notes, confirmations of Guaranty Agreements, opinions of counsel and lien searches.

Section 2.6 Termination of the Aggregate Commitment. The Aggregate Commitment shall terminate on the earliest of: (a) March 26, 2019; (b) the date of termination by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.5(a) hereof; and (c) the date of termination by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders pursuant to Section 11.2(a) hereof; provided, however, that Urban may submit to the Administrative Agent a Termination Date Extension Request (which shall be submitted without limitation with the annual business plan and financial projections required to be delivered under Section 7.1(c) hereof), pursuant to which each Lender, at its sole discretion, may agree to extend the Termination Date of its respective Commitment set forth in subsection (a) of this Section 2.6 by an additional three hundred sixty-four (364) day term.

Section 2.7 Use of Proceeds. The Borrowers shall use the proceeds of the Extensions of Credit: (a) to fund working capital (including expenditures for Capital Assets); (b) to


support the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of any Borrower (including for the benefit of a Guarantor); and (c) for the general corporate requirements of the Borrowers (including without limitation the payment of certain fees and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby).

Section 2.8 Joint and Several Obligations. The obligations of the Borrowers hereunder are and shall be joint and several, except that it is the intent and agreement of Borrowers and Lenders that Non-U.S. Borrowers shall not be liable hereunder, except with respect to Loans made to Non-U.S. Borrowers (other than Non-U.S. Borrowers that are pass-through entities, for federal income tax purposes, owned by a U.S. Borrower) and L/C Obligations for Letters of Credit issued for the account of Non-U.S. Borrowers (other than Non-U.S. Borrowers that are pass-through entities, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, owned by a U.S. Borrower).

Section 2.9 Dollar Equivalent. All limitations relating to the amount of Alternate Currency Advances and Alternate Currency Letters of Credit shall be calculated from time to time based on the Dollar Equivalent thereof as of the most recent FX Calculation Date.

(c) such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any Applicable Law.

References herein to “issue” and derivations thereof with respect to Letters of Credit shall also include extensions or modifications of any existing Letters of Credit, unless the context otherwise requires.

With respect to any such Letter of Credit issued hereunder, the Borrowers hereby agree that they will deliver on or before the Termination Date collateral, of the type and in the amounts required by subparagraph (b) below and subject to subparagraph (c) below, in an amount equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the outstanding undrawn amount of each such Letter of Credit.

(b) On the Termination Date, upon a reduction of the Aggregate Commitment in the manner set forth in Section 2.5 hereof or upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Issuing Lender may require (and in the case of an Event of Default occurring under Section 11.1(j) or Section 11.1(k) it shall be required automatically) that the Borrowers deliver to the Issuing Lender cash or U.S. Treasury Bills with maturities of not more than ninety (90) days from the date of delivery (discounted in accordance with customary banking practice to present value to determine amount) in an amount equal at all times to one hundred five percent (105%) of the outstanding undrawn amount of all Letters of Credit, such cash or U.S. Treasury Bills and all interest earned thereon to constitute cash collateral for all such Letters of Credit.

Section 3.5 Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrowers may from time to time request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit, or request that a Letter of Credit be amended or extended, by delivering to the Issuing Lender at the Administrative Agent’s office, an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of the Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Issuing Lender may request. Upon receipt of any Application, the Issuing Lender shall process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall, subject to Section 3.1 and Article V hereof, promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the Issuing Lender be required to issue any standby Letter of Credit earlier than three (3) Business Days, or any documentary Letter of Credit earlier than one (1) Business Day, after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed by the Issuing Lender and the Borrowers. The Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Borrowers a copy of such Letter of Credit.

Section 3.6 Commissions and Other Charges.

(a) The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants on a pro rata basis (i) fees with respect to documentary Letters of Credit as set forth in the Fee Letter, and (ii) a letter of credit fee with respect to each standby Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the Applicable Margin for a LIBOR Rate Loan or Eurocurrency Loan, as the case may be, as of the date of the calculation of the fee on a per annum basis multiplied by the face amount of each standby Letter of Credit as then in effect. Each such commission shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter and on the Termination Date.

(b) In connection with the issuance, transfer, extension, modification or other administration of any Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall pay to the Issuing Lender upon request all customary costs and expenses of the Issuing Lender therefor.

(c) All fees, commissions, costs, expenses or other charges paid to an Issuing Lender by Borrowers under this Section 3.6 shall be non-refundable.

Section 3.7 L/C Participations.

(a) The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Commitment Percentage in the Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender upon demand at the Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed.


(b) Upon becoming aware of any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.7(a) hereof in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall notify each L/C Participant of the amount and due date of such required payment and such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender the amount specified on the applicable due date. If any such amount is paid to the Issuing Lender after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender on demand, in addition to such amount, the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent during the period from and including the date such payment is due to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. A certificate of the Issuing Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 3.7(b) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. With respect to payment to the Issuing Lender of the unreimbursed amounts described in this Section 3.7(b), if the L/C Participants receive notice that any such payment is due (A) prior to 1:00 p.m.(Philadelphia time) on any Business Day, such payment shall be due that Business Day, and (B) after 1:00 p.m.(Philadelphia time) on any Business Day, such payment shall be due on the following Business Day.

(c) Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its Commitment Percentage of such payment in accordance with this Section 3.7, the Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrowers or otherwise), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, that in the event that any such payment received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.

Section 3.8 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrowers. The Borrowers agree to reimburse the Issuing Lender on each date on which the Issuing Lender notifies the Borrowers of the date and amount of a draft paid under any Letter of Credit for the amount of (a) such draft so paid or presented purporting to be drawn and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment. Each such payment shall be made to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein in Dollars, (except for payments in connection with Alternate Currency Letters of Credit which shall be repaid in the currency in which such draft was paid) and in immediately available funds. If the Borrowers fail to timely reimburse the Issuing Lender on the date the Borrowers receive the notice referred to in this Section 3.8, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Borrowing hereunder to the Administrative Agent requesting the Lenders to make a Base Rate Loan on such date in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and, regardless of whether or not the conditions precedent specified in Article V have been satisfied, the Lenders shall make Base Rate Loans in such amount, the proceeds of which shall be applied to reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of the related drawing and costs and expenses; provided, however, that absent an Event of Default, the Borrowers may elect to convert amounts remaining unpaid by the Borrowers (i) under any Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars to Base Rate Loans, Daily One Month LIBOR Loans, or LIBOR Rate Loans, and (ii) any Letter of Credit denominated in any Alternate Currency to Eurocurrency Loans or Daily One Month LIBOR Loans, subject to Section 4.2 hereof.

Section 3.9 Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ obligations under this Article III (including without limitation the Reimbursement Obligation) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which any Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Lender or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit. The Borrowers also agree with the Issuing Lender that the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrowers’ Reimbursement Obligation under Section 3.8 shall not be affected by, among other things, the


validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among any Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of any Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Borrowers assume all risks of the acts or omissions of the beneficiary of each Letter of Credit with respect to the use of the Letter of Credit or with respect to the beneficiary’s obligations to any Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions caused by the Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Borrowers agree that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the Uniform Customs and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the UCC shall be binding on the Borrowers and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lender to the Borrowers. The responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the Borrowers in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are in conformity with such Letter of Credit. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each determination of whether drafts or other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with their terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, in accordance with the Uniform Customs, the Issuing Lender may accept facially conforming documents.

Section 3.10 General Terms of Documentary Letters of Credit.

(a) To the extent any failure to comply with the provisions of this Section 3.10 would, either individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect, the Borrowers agree to procure or to cause the beneficiaries of each documentary Letter of Credit to procure promptly any necessary import and export or other licenses for the import or export or shipping of any goods referred to in or pursuant to a Letter of Credit and to comply and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the beneficiaries to comply with all foreign and domestic governmental regulations with respect to the shipment and warehousing of such goods or otherwise relating to or affecting such Letter of Credit, including without limitation governmental regulations pertaining to transactions involving designated foreign countries or their nationals, and to furnish such certificates in that respect as the Issuing Lender may at any time reasonably require, and to keep such goods adequately covered by insurance in amounts, with carriers and for such risks as shall be customary in the industry and to cause the Issuing Lender’s interest to be endorsed on such insurance and to furnish the Issuing Lender at its request with reasonable evidence thereof. Should such insurance (or lack thereof) upon said goods for any reason not be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender, the Issuing Lender may (but is not obligated to) obtain, after notice, at the Borrowers’ expense, insurance satisfactory to the Issuing Lender.

(b) In connection with each documentary Letter of Credit, neither the Issuing Lender nor any correspondent shall be responsible for: (i) the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of the property purporting to be represented by documents; (ii) any


difference in character, quality, condition or value of the property from that expressed in documents; (iii) the time, place, manner or order in which shipment of the property is made; (iv) partial or incomplete shipment referred to in such Letter of Credit; (v) the character, adequacy or responsibility of any insurer, or any other risk connected with insurance other than insurance procured by the Issuing Lender; (vi) any deviation from instructions, delay, default or fraud by the beneficiary or anyone else in connection with the property or the shipping thereof; (vii) the solvency, responsibility or relationship to the property of any party issuing any documents in connection with the property; (viii) delay in arrival or failure to arrive of either the property or any of the documents relating thereto; (ix) delay in giving or failure to give notice of arrival or any other notice; (x) any breach of contract between the Letter of Credit beneficiaries and any Borrower; (xi) any laws, customs, and regulations which may be effective in any jurisdiction where any negotiation and/or payment of such Letter of Credit occurs; (xii) failure of documents (other than documents required by the terms of the Letter of Credit) to accompany any draft at negotiation; or (xiii) failure of any entity to note the amount of any document or draft on the reverse of such Letter of Credit or to surrender or to take up such Letter of Credit or to forward documents other than documents required by the terms of the Letter of Credit. In connection with each Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for any error, neglect or default of any of its correspondents. None of the above shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the Issuing Lender’s rights or powers hereunder. If a Letter of Credit provides that payment is to be made by the Issuing Lender’s correspondent, neither the Issuing Lender nor such correspondent shall be responsible for the failure of any of the documents specified in such Letter of Credit to come into the Issuing Lender’s hands, or for any delay in connection therewith, and the Borrowers’ obligation to make reimbursements shall not be affected by such failure or delay in the receipt of any such documents.

(c) To the extent not inconsistent with this Agreement, the Uniform Customs are hereby made a part of this Agreement with respect to obligations in connection with each documentary Letter of Credit.

Section 3.11 Effect of Application. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Article III, or with Article XI hereof, the provisions of this Article III or Article XI hereof, as applicable, shall apply. Article XI alone shall govern with respect to Default and Events of Default in connection with any Letter of Credit.

Interest shall continue to accrue on the Notes at the rates set forth above after the filing by or against the Borrowers of any petition seeking any relief in bankruptcy or under any act or law pertaining to insolvency or debtor relief, whether state, federal or foreign, as well as before and after any judgment.


(d) Interest Payment and Computation. Interest on each Base Rate Loan and each Daily One Month LIBOR Loan shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter commencing March 31, 2014, or earlier, if such Base Rate Loan or Daily One Month LIBOR Loan is repaid by the Borrower prior to the end of any calendar quarter, on the date of such repayment; and interest on each LIBOR Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loan shall be payable on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto. Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans, Eurocurrency Loans, Daily One Month LIBOR Loans and all fees payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed, and interest on Base Rate Loans shall be computed on the basis of a 365/66-day year and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed.

(e) Maximum Rate. In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts deemed interest hereunder or under the Notes charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or pursuant to the Notes exceed the highest rate permissible under any Applicable Law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that such a court determines that the Lenders have charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the highest applicable rate, the rate in effect hereunder shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law, and the Lenders shall at the Administrative Agent’s option: (i) promptly refund to the Borrowers any interest received by the Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful rate; or (ii) apply such excess to the principal balance of the Obligations. It is the intent hereof that the Borrowers not pay or contract to pay, and that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be paid by the Borrowers under Applicable Law.

Section 4.2 Notice and Manner of Conversion or Continuation of Loans. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, the Borrowers shall have the option to: (a) convert at any time, but not earlier than the third Business Day after the Closing Date, all or any portion of its outstanding Base Rate Loans or Daily One Month LIBOR Loans in a principal amount equal to $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof into one or more LIBOR Rate Loans; and (b) upon the expiration of any Interest Period, (i) convert all or any part of its outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans in a principal amount equal to $250,000 or a whole multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof into Base Rate Loans, (ii) convert all or any part of its outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans in a principal amount equal to $500,000 or a whole multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof into Daily One Month LIBOR Loans, or (iii) continue such LIBOR Rate Loans as LIBOR Rate Loans and Eurocurrency Loans as Eurocurrency Loans. Whenever the Borrowers desire to convert or continue Loans as provided above, the Borrowers shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable prior written notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) not later than 11:00 a.m.(Philadelphia time) three (3) Business Days before the day on which a proposed conversion or continuation of such Loan is to be effective specifying: (A) the Loans to be converted or continued, and, in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loan to be converted or continued, the last day of the Interest Period therefor; (B) the effective date of such conversion or continuation (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the principal amount of such Loans to be converted or continued; and (D) the Interest Period to be applicable to such converted or continued LIBOR Rate Loan. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such Notice of Conversion/Continuation.

Section 4.3 Fees.

(a) Administration Fee. On the Closing Date, the Borrowers shall pay the Administrative Agent an administration fee (the “Administration Fee”) set forth in the Fee Letter.


Section 4.4 Manner of Payment. Each payment by the Borrowers on account of the principal of or interest on the Loans or of any fee, commission or other amounts (including without limitation the Reimbursement Obligation) payable to the Lenders under this Agreement or the Notes shall be made not later than 1:00 p.m.(Philadelphia time) on the date specified for payment under this Agreement to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the account of the Lenders (other than as set forth below) pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (except as specified below), in Dollars (except with respect to Alternate Currency Loans, as to which payments will be made in the currency in which such Alternate Currency Loan was made) in immediately available funds and shall be made without any set-off, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever. Any payment received after such time but before 2:00 p.m.(Philadelphia time) on such day shall be deemed a payment on such date for the purposes of Section 11.1 hereof, but for all other purposes shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Any payment received after 2:00 p.m.(Philadelphia time) shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day for all purposes. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of each such payment, the Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Lender at its address for notices set forth herein its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with such Lender’s Commitment Percentage (except as specified below) and shall wire advice of the amount of such credit to each Lender. Each payment to the Administrative Agent of the Issuing Lender’s fees or L/C Participants commissions shall be made in like manner, but for the account of the Issuing Lender or the L/C Participants, as the case may be. Each payment to the Administrative Agent of Administrative Agent’s fees or expenses shall be made for the account of the Administrative Agent, and any amount payable to any Lender under Section 4.6, Section 4.7, Section 4.8, Section 4.9 or Section 13.2 hereof shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lender. Subject to Section 4.1(b)(ii) hereof, if any payment under this Agreement or the Notes shall be specified to be made upon a day which is not a Business Day, it shall be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in computing any interest if payable along with such payment.

Section 4.5 Credit of Payments and Proceeds. In the event that the Borrowers shall fail to pay any of the Obligations when due and the Obligations have been accelerated pursuant to Section 11.2 hereof, all payments received by the Lenders upon the Notes and the other Obligations and all net proceeds from the enforcement of the Obligations shall be applied first to all expenses then due and payable by the Borrowers hereunder, then to all indemnity obligations then due and payable by the Borrowers hereunder, then to all Administrative Agent’s and Issuing Lender’s fees then due and payable, then to all commitment and other fees and commissions then due and payable, then to accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, the Reimbursement Obligations and any termination payments due in respect of any Hedging Agreement with any Lender (pro rata in accordance with all such amounts due), then to the principal amount of the Notes and Reimbursement Obligations (pro rata in accordance with all such amounts due) and then to the cash collateral account described in Section 11.2(b) hereof to the extent of any L/C Obligations then outstanding, in that order.

Section 4.6 Changed Circumstances.

(a) Circumstances Affecting LIBOR Rate and Eurocurrency Rate Availability. In connection with any request for a LIBOR Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof, if for any reason (i) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Loan, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for the ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan or (iii) the Required Lenders shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the LIBOR Rate does not


adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans during such Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrowers. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers that such circumstances no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans, Eurocurrency Loans or Daily One Month LIBOR Loans and the right of the Borrowers to convert any Loan to or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan, Eurocurrency Loan or a Daily One Month LIBOR Loan shall be suspended, and the Borrowers shall: (i) repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loan or Eurocurrency Loan, together with accrued interest thereon, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan or Eurocurrency Loan; (ii) repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then outstanding principal amount of each such Daily One Month LIBOR Loan together with accrued interest thereon; or (iii) convert to a Base Rate Loan the then outstanding principal amount of each such Daily One Month LIBOR Loan and, as of the last day of each applicable Interest Period, the then outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loan or Eurocurrency Loan.

(b) Laws Affecting LIBOR Rate, Eurocurrency Rate and Daily One Month LIBOR Availability. If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan, Eurocurrency Loan or Daily One Month LIBOR Loan, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Borrowers and the other Lenders. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans, Eurocurrency Loans, or Daily One Month LIBOR Loans and the right of the Borrowers to convert any Loan or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan, Eurocurrency Loan or Daily One Month LIBOR Loan shall be suspended and thereafter the Borrowers may select only Base Rate Loans hereunder, and (ii) if any of the Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain a Daily One Month LIBOR Loan, LIBOR Rate Loan or Eurocurrency Loan to the end of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, the applicable Daily One Month LIBOR Loan shall immediately be converted to a Base Rate Loan or the applicable LIBOR Rate Loan or Eurocurrency Loan shall immediately be converted to a Base Rate Loan for the remainder of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

(c) Increased Costs. If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law, or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of such Authority, central bank or comparable agency:

(i) shall subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) with respect to any Note, any Letter of Credit or any Application; or

(ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including without limitation any imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance or capital or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by any Lender (or any of their respective Lending Offices) or shall impose on any Lender (or any of their respective Lending Offices) or the foreign exchange and interbank markets any other condition affecting any Note;


and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the costs to any Lender of maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan, Eurocurrency Loan or Daily One Month LIBOR Loan or issuing Letters of Credit or to reduce the yield or amount of any sum received or receivable by any Lender under this Agreement or under the Notes in respect of a LIBOR Rate Loan, Eurocurrency Loan, Daily One Month LIBOR Loan or Letter of Credit or Application, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers of such fact and demand compensation therefor and, within fifteen (15) days after such notice by the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction. The Lender will promptly notify the Borrowers of any event of which it has knowledge which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 4.6(c); provided, that the Administrative Agent shall incur no liability whatsoever to the Borrowers in the event it fails to do so. The amount of such compensation shall be determined, in the applicable Lender’s sole discretion, based upon the assumption that such Lender funded its Commitment Percentage of the LIBOR Rate Loans, Eurocurrency Loans or the Daily One Month LIBOR Loans in the London interbank market and using any reasonable attribution or averaging methods which such Lender deems appropriate and practical. A certificate of such Lender setting forth the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be forwarded to the Borrowers and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error. The Lenders shall determine the applicability of, and the amount due under, this Section 4.6 consistent with the manner in which they apply similar provisions and calculate similar amounts payable to it by other borrowers having in their credit agreements provisions comparable to this Section 4.6.

(d) Replacement of Lenders. Any Lender that: (i) is unable to or is prohibited from making LIBOR Rate Loans, Eurocurrency Loans or Daily One Month LIBOR Loans to the Borrowers as set forth in Section 4.6(a) or Section 4.6(b) above or (ii) incurs increased costs and demands compensation therefor as set forth in Section 4.6(c) above, shall be referred to hereafter as a “Defaulting Lender.” If a Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender, or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall be referred to hereafter as an “Indemnified Lender.” If any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or Indemnified Lender, then Borrowers may elect to remove such Lender from this Agreement, and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.13 hereof to the contrary, the consent of the Remaining Lenders shall not be required for such removal, and so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of solely the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall be required for the replacement bank, if any, and the requirement that the Defaulting Lender’s or Indemnified Lender’s Commitment must be replaced, and the requisite documentation to effect such removal and replacement, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Section 4.7 Indemnity. The Borrowers hereby indemnify each of the Lenders against any loss or expense which may arise or be attributable to each Lender’s obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds acquired to effect, fund or maintain any Loan: (a) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrowers to make any payment when due of any amount due hereunder in connection with a LIBOR Rate Loan or Eurocurrency Loan; (b) due to any failure of the Borrowers to borrow on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Continuation/Conversion; or (c) due to any payment, prepayment or conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan or Eurocurrency Loan on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor. The amount of such loss or expense shall be determined, in the applicable Lender’s sole discretion, based upon the assumption that such Lender funded the LIBOR Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans in the London interbank market and using any reasonable attribution or averaging methods which such Lender deems appropriate and practical. A certificate of such Lender


setting forth the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Lender shall be forwarded to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error.

Section 4.8 Capital Requirements.

(a) If any Lender or the Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the Issuing Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon written request of such Lender or such Issuing Lender the Borrower shall pay within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such written request to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower shall, in the absence of manifest error, be presumed to be correct and binding for all purposes.

(b) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation Section 4.8 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 4.8 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefore (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reduction is retroactive, then the nine (9) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 4.9 Taxes.

(a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 4.9, the term “Lender” includes the Issuing Lender and the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.

(b) Payments Free and Clear. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.


(c) Payment of Other Taxes. In addition, the Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) Indemnity by the Loan Parties. Subject to Section 2.8 hereof, the Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.10(b)(ii) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f) Evidence of Payment. Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes pursuant to this Section 4.9, the applicable Loan Party shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 13.1 hereof, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by the applicable Governmental Authority evidencing payment thereof, a copy of the return reporting such payment, or other evidence of payment satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(g) Status of Lenders

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 4.9(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable


judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person:

(A) Any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 or Exhibit J-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;


(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.9 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.9), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, each party’s obligations under this Section 4.9 shall survive the resignation or


replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 4.10 Guaranty. The Obligations of the Borrowers shall be guaranteed by the Guarantors as provided in the Guaranty Agreement.

Section 4.11 Adjustments. If any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or interest thereon, or if any Lender shall at any time receive any collateral in respect to the Obligations owing to it (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders such portion of each such other Lender’s Extensions of Credit, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrowers agree that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Extensions of Credit may exercise all rights of payment (including without limitation rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion.

Section 4.12 Nature of Obligations of Lenders Regarding Extensions of Credit; Assumption by the Administrative Agent. The obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement to make the Loans and issue or participate in Letters of Credit are several and are not joint or joint and several. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to a proposed borrowing date that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of the amount to be borrowed on such date (which notice shall not release such Lender of its obligations hereunder), the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the proposed borrowing date in accordance with Section 2.2(c) hereof, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers on such date a corresponding amount. If such amount is made available to the Administrative Agent on a date after such borrowing date, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand an amount, until paid, equal to the product of (a) the amount not made available by such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, times (b) the daily average Federal Funds Rate during such period as determined by the Administrative Agent, times (c) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse from and including such borrowing date to the date on which such amount not made available by such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof shall have become immediately available to the Administrative Agent and the denominator of which is 360. A certificate of the Administrative Agent with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 4.12 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days of such borrowing date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount made available by the Administrative Agent with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder, on demand, from the Borrowers. The failure of any Lender to make available its Commitment Percentage of any Loan requested by the Borrowers shall not relieve it or any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Commitment Percentage of such Loan available on the borrowing date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make its Commitment Percentage of such Loan available on the borrowing date.


Section 4.13 Currencies; Currency Equivalent and Related Provisions.

(a) Redenomination and Alternate Currencies. Each obligation of any party under this Agreement which has been denominated in the fixed national currency unit of a Participating Member State shall be redenominated into the euro in accordance with the legislation of the European Union applicable to such currency, provided, that if and to the extent that any such legislation provides that an amount denominated either in the euro unit or in the national currency unit of a Participating Member State and payable within the Participating Member State by crediting an account of a creditor can be paid by a debtor either in the euro unit or in that national currency unit, each party to this Agreement shall be entitled to pay or repay any such amount either in the euro unit or in such national currency unit.

(b) Loans. Any portion of an Alternate Currency Loan in the currency of a Participating Member State shall be made in the euro unit, provided that any portion of such Alternate Currency Loan may, if so requested by Borrowers, be made in the national currency unit of any Participating Member State so long as such national currency unit continues to be available as legal tender for obligations of the same type or character as the obligations set forth in this Agreement, is freely convertible and is not subject to exchange controls.

(c) Payments by Borrowers. Those Sections of this Agreement providing for payment or repayment in a national currency unit shall be construed so that, in relation to the payment of any amount of euro units or national currency units, such amount shall be made available to the Lenders in immediately available, freely transferable, cleared funds to such account with Lenders (in such principal financial center) as Lenders may from time to time in good faith nominate for this purpose.

(d) Payments by Lenders Generally. With respect to the payment of any amount denominated in the euro unit or in a national currency unit, no Lender shall be liable to the Borrowers in any way whatsoever for any delay, or the consequences of any delay, in the crediting to any account of any amount required by this Agreement to be paid by a Lender if such Lender has made reasonable effort to effect all relevant steps to achieve, on the date required by the Agreement, the payment of such amount in immediately available, freely transferable, cleared funds (in the euro unit or, as the case may be, in a national currency unit) to the account with such Lender in the principal financial center in the Participating Member State which the Borrowers shall have specified for such purpose. In this paragraph, “all relevant steps” means all such steps as may be prescribed from time to time by the regulations or operating procedures of such clearing or settlement system as the Lender may from time to time reasonably believe to be in effect for the purpose of clearing or settling payment in the euro.

(e) Basis of Accrual. If the basis of accrual of interest or fees expressed in this Agreement with respect to the currency of any state that becomes a Participating State Member, in Administrative Agent’s judgment, shall not be available because interest rate quotes for a national currency unit are no longer provided, or shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest or fees in respect of the euro, such convention or practice shall replace such expressed basis effective as of and from the date on which such state becomes a Participating Member State; provided, however, if any or all of an Alternate Currency Loan in the currency of such state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such portion of the Alternate Currency Loan, on the last day of the current Interest Period.

 


(f) Rounding and Other Consequential Changes. Without prejudice and in addition to any method of conversion or rounding prescribed by any applicable legislation, and without prejudice to the respective liabilities for indebtedness of the Borrowers to Lenders and the Lenders to the Borrowers under or pursuant to this Agreement:

(i) each reference in this Agreement to a minimum amount (or an integral multiple thereof) in a national currency unit to be paid to or by Lenders shall be replaced by a reference to such reasonably comparable amount (or an integral multiple thereof) in the euro unit as Administrative Agent may from time to time specify; and

(ii) except as expressly provided in this Agreement, each provision of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the right to combine currencies to effect a set off, shall be subject to such reasonable changes of interpretation as Administrative Agent, as applicable, may from time to time specify to be necessary or appropriate to reflect the introduction of or change over to the euro in Participating Member States.

(g) Exchange Indemnification and Increased Costs. The Borrowers shall, upon demand from Administrative Agent, pay to Lenders the amount of: (i) any loss or cost or increased cost incurred by any Lender, (ii) any reduction in any amount payable to or in the effective return on its capital to any Lender, (iii) interest or other return, including principal, foregone by any Lender as a result of the introduction of, change over to or operation of the euro in any Participating Member State, or (iv) any currency exchange loss that any Lender sustains as a result of the Borrowers’ election to borrow in national currency units and repay in euro units or to borrow in euro units and repay in national currency units. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the basis for determining such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error.

The jurisdictions in which each Borrower and each Guarantor are organized and qualified to do business as of the Closing Date are described on Schedule 6.1(a) hereto.

(b) Ownership. Each Subsidiary of any Borrower and each of their respective Subsidiaries, as of the Closing Date, as depicted on the organizational chart attached hereto as Schedule 6.1(b).

All of the outstanding shares representing the equity ownership of the parent entities have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable. As of the Closing Date, there are no outstanding stock purchase warrants, subscriptions, options, securities, instruments or other rights of any type or nature whatsoever, which are convertible into, exchangeable for or otherwise provide for or permit the issuance of capital stock of any Borrower.

(c) Authorization of Agreement, Loan Documents and Borrowing. Each Borrower, each Subsidiary and each Guarantor has the right, power and authority and has taken all necessary corporate and other action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party in accordance with their respective terms. This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the duly authorized officers of each Borrower, each Subsidiary and each Guarantor party thereto, and each such document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Borrower, each Subsidiary and each Guarantor party thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar state or federal debtor relief laws from time to time in effect which affect the enforcement of creditors rights in general and the availability of equitable remedies.

(d) Compliance of Agreement, Loan Documents and Borrowing with Laws, Etc. The execution, delivery and performance by each Borrower, each Subsidiary and each Guarantor of the Loan Documents to which each such Person is a party, in accordance with their respective terms, the borrowings hereunder and the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not, by the passage of time, the giving of notice or otherwise, (i) require any Governmental Approval or violate any Applicable Law relating to any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Guarantor, (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default under the articles or certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents of any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Guarantor or any indenture, agreement or other


instrument to which such Person is a party or by which any of its properties may be bound or any Governmental Approval relating to such Person, or (iii) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Person other than Liens (if any) arising under the Loan Documents.

No Governmental Authority has asserted any Lien or other claim against any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Guarantor with respect to unpaid taxes which has not been discharged or resolved. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of each Borrower, each Subsidiary and each Guarantor in respect of federal, state, local and other taxes for all Fiscal Years and portions thereof since the organization of each Borrower, each Subsidiary and each Guarantor are in the judgment of the Borrowers adequate, and the Borrowers do not anticipate any additional taxes or assessments for any of such years.

(v) Absence of Defaults. No event has occurred or is continuing which constitutes a Default or an Event of Default, or which constitutes, or which with the passage of time or giving of notice or both would constitute, a default or event of default by any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Guarantor under any Material Contract or judgment, decree or order to which any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Guarantor is a party or by which any Borrower, any Subsidiary, any Guarantor or any of their respective properties may be bound or which would require any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Guarantor to make any payment thereunder prior to the scheduled maturity date therefor.

No Borrower is aware of any facts which it has not disclosed in writing to the Lenders having a Material Adverse Effect, or insofar as such Borrower can now foresee, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(x) Fees and Commissions. No Borrower owes any fees or commissions of any kind, and no Borrower knows of any claim for any fees or commissions, in connection with the Borrowers’ obtaining the Commitments or the Loans from the Lenders, except those provided herein.

Section 11.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrowers:

(a) Acceleration; Termination of Facilities. Declare the principal of and interest on the Loans, the Notes and the Reimbursement Obligations at the time outstanding, and all other amounts owed to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (other than any Hedging Agreement) (including without limitation all L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) and all other Obligations (other than obligations owing under any Hedging Agreement), to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived, anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, and terminate the Aggregate Commitment and Commitments and any right of the Borrowers to request borrowings or Letters of Credit thereunder; provided, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 11.1(j) or Section 11.1(k) hereof, the Aggregate Commitment and Commitments shall be automatically terminated and all Obligations (other than obligations owing under any Hedging Agreement) shall automatically become due and payable.

(b) Letters of Credit. With respect to all Letters of Credit with respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to the preceding paragraph, require the Borrowers at such time to deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Issuing Lender an amount equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit. Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be applied by the Issuing Lender to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay the other Obligations. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, the Reimbursement Obligation shall have been satisfied and all other Obligations shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the Borrowers.

(c) Rights of Collection. Exercise on behalf of the Lenders of all of their other rights and remedies under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and Applicable Law, in order to satisfy all of the Borrowers’ Obligations.

Section 11.3 Rights and Remedies Cumulative; Non-Waiver, etc. The enumeration of the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders set forth in this Agreement is not intended to be exhaustive, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of any right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies, all of which shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder or under the Loan Documents or that may now or hereafter exist in law or in equity or by suit or otherwise. No delay or failure to take action on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in exercising any right, power or privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default. No course of dealing between the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or their respective agents or employees shall be effective to change, modify or discharge any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to constitute a waiver of any Event of Default.


ARTICLE XII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 12.1 Appointment. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Wells Fargo as Administrative Agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents for the term hereof, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes Wells Fargo as Administrative Agent for such Lender, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and such other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement or such other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and therein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Any reference to the Administrative Agent in this Article XII shall be deemed to refer to the Administrative Agent solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent and not in its capacity as a Lender.

Section 12.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its respective duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by the Administrative Agent with reasonable care.

Section 12.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact, Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (except for actions occasioned solely by its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Borrower or any Subsidiary or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or for any failure of any Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any.

Section 12.4 Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including without limitation counsel to the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless such Note shall have been transferred in accordance with Section 13.10 hereof. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, when expressly required hereby or by the relevant other Loan Document, all the Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against


any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the Notes in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, when expressly required hereby, all the Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Notes.

Section 12.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless it has received notice from a Lender or the Borrowers referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a notice of default. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders, except to the extent that other provisions of this Agreement expressly require that any such action be taken or not be taken only with the consent and authorization or the request of the Lenders or Required Lenders, as applicable.

Section 12.6 Non-Reliance on the Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact, Subsidiaries or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including without limitation any review of the affairs of the Borrowers, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers and made its own decision to make its Loans and issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder or by the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrowers which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact, Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

Section 12.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such and (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), ratably according to the respective amounts of their Commitment Percentages, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including without limitation at any time following the payment of the Notes or any Reimbursement Obligation) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or any documents contemplated by or


referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the Administrative Agent’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 12.7 shall survive the payment of the Notes, any Reimbursement Obligation and all other amounts payable hereunder and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 12.8 The Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers as though the Administrative Agent were not an Administrative Agent hereunder. With respect to any Loans made or renewed by it and any Note issued to it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by it or participated in by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

Section 12.9 Resignation of the Administrative Agent; Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender, and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which successor shall be an Eligible Assignee. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders)(the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which successor shall have minimum capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date, (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent), and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 13.2 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective related parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

The parties hereto and the other Loan Documents preserve, without diminution, certain remedies that such Persons may employ or exercise freely, either alone, in conjunction with or during a dispute, claim or controversy arising out of this Agreement, the Notes, the Letters of Credit or any other Loan Document. Each such Person shall have and hereby reserves the right to proceed in any court of proper jurisdiction or by self help to exercise or prosecute the following remedies: (i) all rights to foreclose against any real or personal property or other security by exercising a power of sale granted in the Loan Documents or under applicable law or by judicial foreclosure and sale; (ii) all rights of self help including without limitation peaceful occupation of property and collection of rents, set off, and peaceful possession of property; (iii) obtaining provisional or ancillary remedies including without limitation injunctive relief, sequestration, garnishment, attachment, appointment of receiver and in filing an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding; and (iv) when applicable, a judgment by confession of judgment.

Section 13.8 Injunctive Relief; Punitive Damages.

(a) The Borrowers recognize that, in the event the Borrowers fail to perform, observe or discharge any of their obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, any remedy of law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Lenders.

(b) The Administrative Agent, Lenders and the Borrowers (on behalf of themselves and each Subsidiary) hereby agree that no such Person shall have a remedy of special, indirect, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages against any other party to a Loan Document and each such Person hereby waives any right or claim to any special, indirect, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages that they may now have or may arise in the future in connection with any Dispute, whether such Dispute is resolved through arbitration or judicially.

(b) Assignments and Participations by the Lenders.

(i) Assignments by the Lenders. The Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that each Lender may at any time with the consent of the Borrowers (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and the consent of the Administrative Agent, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld, assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation all or a portion of the Extensions of Credit at the time owing to it and the Notes held by it); provided that no such assignment shall be made to the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates; provided further that (A) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying percentage, of all such assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; (B) if less than all of the assigning Lender’s Commitment is to be assigned, the Commitment so assigned shall not be less than $5,000,000; (C) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording, an assignment agreement (an “Assignment Agreement”) in the form of Exhibit G hereto, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment; (D) such assignment shall not, without the consent of the Borrowers, require the Borrowers to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission or apply to or qualify the Loans or any Note under the blue sky laws of any state; (E) the assigning Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent an assignment fee of $3,500 upon the execution by such Lender of the Assignment Agreement; provided that no such fee shall be payable upon any assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate thereof; (F) the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent provided in such Assignment Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder; (G) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement; and (H) upon receipt of an Assignment Agreement from an assigning Lender and an Eligible Assignee, the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of such Assignment Agreement to the Borrowers. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Lender, in exchange for the Note or Notes to be surrendered in the manner set forth below, a new Note or Notes payable to the order of such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement and a new Note payable to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the surrendered Note, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment Agreement and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the surrendered Note. Each surrendered Note shall be canceled and returned to the Borrowers concurrent with the Borrowers’ delivery of the new Note or Notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.10(b), no consent of the Borrowers shall be required for any Lender to assign all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Affiliate thereof.

(ii) Participations by the Lenders. The Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that each Lender may at any time grant participations in all or any portion the Commitment, the Loans, the Notes, the Extensions of Credit or of its right, title and interest therein or in or to this Agreement (collectively, “Participations”) to any other lending office or to any other bank, lending institution or other entity which has the requisite sophistication to evaluate the merits and risks of investments in Participations (“Participants”); provided, however, that: (A) each such participation shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000; (B) all amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if Lenders had not granted such Participation; (C) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation its Commitment) shall remain unchanged; (D) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; (E) such Lender shall remain the holder of the Notes held by it for purposes of this Agreement; (F) the Borrowers,


the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (G) any agreement pursuant to which a Lender may grant a Participation (x) shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of Borrowers hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provisions of this Agreement, (y) such participation agreement may provide that such Lender will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement without the consent of the Participant if such modification, amendment or waiver would reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan, and (z) shall not relieve such Lender from its obligations, which shall remain absolute, to make Loans and to issue Letters of Credit hereunder. Each Lender that grants a Participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1 of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(iii) Right to Assign to Federal Reserve Bank. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Lenders may pledge or grant a security interest in any Note, right to payment or other benefit hereunder to any Federal Reserve Bank without the consent or any party, without notice to any party, and without payment of any fees in accordance with Applicable Law.

Section 13.11 Disclosure of Information; Confidentiality. Lenders shall hold all non-public information with respect to the Borrowers obtained pursuant to the Loan Documents in accordance with their customary procedures for handling confidential information; provided, that the Administrative Agent and Lenders may disclose any such information: (a) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or requested by any regulatory authority, or (b) in any suit, action or proceeding for the purpose of the Administrative Agent or any Lender defending itself, reducing its liability, or protecting or exercising any of its claims, rights, remedies or interests under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents or any Hedging Agreement. Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment, proposed assignment, participation or proposed participation pursuant to Section 13.10 hereof, disclose to the assignee, participant, proposed assignee or proposed participant, any information relating to any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Guarantor furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrowers, their Subsidiaries or the Guarantors; provided, that prior to any such disclosure, each such assignee, proposed assignee, participant or proposed participant shall agree with the Borrowers or such Lender to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Guarantor received from such Lender.

Section 13.12 Patriot Act Notice.

Except as set forth below, any term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (other than any Hedging Agreement, the terms and conditions of which may be amended, modified or waived by the parties thereto) may be amended or waived by the Lenders, and any consent given by the Lenders, if, but only if, such amendment, waiver or consent is in writing signed by the Required Lenders (or by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) and delivered to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of an amendment, signed by the Borrowers; provided, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall: (a) increase the amount or extend the time of the obligation of the Lenders to make Loans or issue or participate in Letters of Credit (including without limitation pursuant to Section 3.7 hereof), (b) extend the originally scheduled time or times of payment of the principal of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or the time or times of payment of interest on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, (c) reduce the rate of interest or fees payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, (d) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, (e) permit any subordination of the principal or interest on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, (f) permit any assignment (other than as specifically permitted or contemplated in this Agreement) of any of the Borrowers’ rights and obligations hereunder, (g) release any Guarantor, (h) consent to a replacement bank or agree to reduce the Aggregate Commitment in connection with the replacement of a Defaulting Lender under Section 4.6(d) hereof or (i) amend the provisions of this Section 13.13 or the definition of Required Lenders, without the prior written consent of each Lender. In addition, no amendment, waiver or consent to the provisions of (a) Article XIII hereof shall be made without the written consent of the Administrative Agent and (b) Article III hereof without the written consent of the Issuing Lender.

Section 13.14 Agreement Controls. In the event there is a conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and any other Loan Document, the terms of this Agreement shall control; provided, that any provision of the Guaranty Agreement which imposes additional burdens on any Borrower or any Subsidiary or further restricts the rights of any Borrower or any Subsidiary or gives the Administrative Agent or the Lenders additional rights shall not be deemed to be in conflict or inconsistent with this Agreement and shall be given full force and effect.

Section 13.15 Covenants Independent. The Borrowers expressly acknowledge and agree that each covenant contained in Article VIII, Article IX or Article X hereof shall be given independent effect. Accordingly, the Borrowers shall not engage in any transaction or other act otherwise permitted under any covenant contained in Article VIII, Article IX or Article X hereof if, before or after giving effect to such transaction or act, the Borrowers shall or would be in breach of any other covenant contained in Article VIII, Article IX or Article X hereof.

Section 13.16 Survival. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, the indemnities to which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are entitled under the provisions of this Article XIII and any other provision of this Agreement and the Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Administrative Agent and the Lenders against events arising after such termination as well as before.

Section 13.17 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, by facsimile and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and shall be binding upon all parties, their successors and assigns, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 13.18 Headings. Titles and captions of Articles, Sections and subsections in this Agreement are for convenience only, and neither limit nor amplify the provisions of this Agreement.


Section 13.19 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 13.20 Entirety. This Agreement together with the other Loan Documents represents the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral and written, if any, including any commitment letters or correspondence relating to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated herein or therein, except those obligations which survive under the commitment letter between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent dated March 30, 2001.

Section 13.21 Termination. This Agreement shall remain in effect from the Closing Date through and including the date upon which all Obligations shall have been indefeasibly and irrevocably paid and satisfied in full. No termination of this Agreement shall affect the rights and obligations of the parties hereto arising prior to such termination.

Section 13.22 Payment of Borrowers’ Obligations. The Borrowers’ Obligations under this Agreement and each of the Loan Documents shall be performed by the Borrowers at their sole cost and expense.

Section 13.23 Powers of Attorney and Authorizations Irrevocable. All powers of attorney and other authorizations granted to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and any Persons designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable so long as any of the Obligations remain unpaid or unsatisfied or the Aggregate Commitment has not been terminated.

Section 13.24 Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the amount of the Extensions of Credit with respect to each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers or any Lender (but only to the extent of entries in the Register that are applicable to such Lender) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Section 13.25 Judgment Currency.

(a) The Borrowers’ obligations under this Agreement to make payments in Dollars (the “Obligation Currency”) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Lenders of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Lenders under this Agreement. If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Borrowers in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange (as quoted by the Administrative Agent or if the Administrative Agent does not quote a rate of exchange on such currency, by a known dealer in


such currency designated by the Administrative Agent) determined, in each case, as of the day immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such business day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).

(b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Borrowers covenant and agree to pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.

(c) For purposes of determining any rate of exchange for this Section 13.25, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.

Section 13.26 Effect on Existing Credit Agreement. This Agreement amends and restates the Existing Credit Agreement and is not intended to constitute a novation of Borrowers’ obligations thereunder, and shall not cause a payment and reborrowing, or termination of any of the indebtedness or obligations of the Borrowers under the Existing Credit Agreement or other loan documents executed in connection therewith (collectively, the “Existing Loan Documents”), nor shall it extinguish, discharge, terminate or impair Borrowers’ indebtedness or obligations or the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s rights or remedies under the Existing Credit Agreement and the other Existing Loan Documents; provided that all such indebtedness, obligations, rights and remedies shall be on the terms and conditions of, and as set forth in, this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents.
