1.2 Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following defined term in the correct alphabetical order:
"`Eligible Licensing Receivables' means such receivables created by the Borrowers and the Guarantors in the ordinary course of business arising out of the licensing of goods or trademarks by the Borrowers and the Guarantors which are, and at all times shall continue to be, acceptable to the Administrative Agent in all respects. Standards of eligibility may be fixed and revised from time to time solely by the Administrative Agent in the Administrative Agent's exclusive judgment exercised in good faith in accordance with its customary credit policies. In general, without limiting the foregoing, a Licensing Receivable shall in no event be deemed to be an Eligible Licensing Receivable unless (a) the amount of such Receivable represents a fixed contractual minimum amount irrevocably payable under the applicable licensing agreement, payable at least quarterly pursuant to an invoice rendered to the licensee or, if not for a fixed contractual minimum amount, is payable at such times and on such terms and conditions, as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent in all respects, after completion of the Administrative Agent's due diligence and consultation with the Lenders as to appropriate amounts and advance rates, (b) the payment due is not more than 120 days past its invoice date, (c) the licensee has not asserted a dispute, offset, deduction or setoff, (d) the Administrative Agent shall have a first priority security interest, (e) such Licensing Receivable is denominated in dollars and payable in the United States, and (f) such Licensing Receivable would not otherwise be excluded as eligible by reason of the applicable criteria set forth in the definition of "Eligible Receivable."
1.3 The definition of "Availability Reserves" in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the last sentence therein and by adding the following sentence at the end thereof:
"At any time that Covenant Availability is less than $70,000,000, there shall be a reserve with respect to the Design Service Payments in the amount of $5,000,000."
1.4 The definition of "Cash Interest Expense" in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the phrase ", and the one time costs (including call premium) associated with repayment of the Subordinated Debt required to be treated as an interest expense under GAAP" immediately before the closed parenthesis at the end thereof.
1.5 The definition of "Permitted Investments" in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting subsections (b) and (d) in their entirety and substituting in lieu thereof the following:
"(b) investments in commercial paper maturing within 270 days from the date of acquisition thereof and having, at such date of acquisition, a credit rating of at least A2 from Standard & Poor's or P2 from Moody's Investors Service, Inc.;"; and

(l) unsecured Indebtedness incurred solely for the purpose of effecting the redemption of the Subordinated Debt not to exceed $150,000,000 provided that such Indebtedness may not mature prior to May 1, 2008, may not have an interest rate greater than 8.5% per annum and shall contain such other terms and conditions as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent."
1.8 Section 6.06(d) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting such section in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof the following:
"PVH may acquire shares of its common stock only and declare and pay cash dividends with respect to its common and preferred stock (including its Preferred Stock (Convertible); provided that Restricted Payments made pursuant to clause (d) shall not exceed (i) $20,000,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal year from fiscal year 2002 through and including fiscal year 2003, (ii)shall not exceed (i) $27,500,000 in the aggregate in fiscal year 2004, (iii) $28,500,000 in the aggregate in fiscal year 2005, (iv) $29,000,000 in the aggregate in fiscal year 2006, (v) $29,500,000 in the aggregate in fiscal year 2007 or (vi) $121,000,000 in the aggregate during the Availability Period;provided,further, that PVH may not acquire shares of its common stock or pay cash dividends pursuant to clause (d) in any fiscal quarter to the extent that (i) the Restricted Payment would not be permitted in such fiscal quarter under the Subordinated Debt Documents, (ii) Average Availability for the 30 day period (60 day period with respect to cash dividends on the Preferred Stock (Convertible)) prior to the date of such Restricted Payment, both before and immediately after giving effect to such Restricted Payment, shall be less than $70,000,000 or, solely in the case of fiscal year 2003, if such cash dividend is with respect to its common stock, $50,000,000, (iii) on the date of such Restricted Payment, both before and immediately after giving effect to such Restricted Payment, Covenant Availability shall
3
be less than $70,000,000 or, solely in the case of fiscal year 2003, if such cash dividend is with respect to its common stock, $50,000,000 or (iv) a Default exists or the making of such Restricted Payment would result in a Default."
SECTION 2. WAIVERS UNDER CREDIT AGREEMENT
2.1 The Required Lenders hereby waive compliance by the Borrowers with the provisions of (a) Section 6.03 of the Credit Agreement solely for the purposes of permitting the investment in and transfer of assets by PVH and PVH Wholesale Corp. to PVH CK, PVH Ohio, PVH Michigan, PVH Pennsylvania, PVH New Jersey and PVH Retail and (b) Section 6.05 of the Credit Agreement solely for the purposes of permitting PVH to redeem the Subordinated Debt.
