lease arrangements expiring between 2007 and 2025, with options to renew at varying terms. The
lease and license arrangements for the Company's U.S. retail locations often include escalation
clauses and provisions requiring the payment of incremental rentals, in addition to any established
minimums contingent upon the achievement of specified levels of sales volume. In addition, with
the acquisition of Cole, the Company operates departments in various host stores paying
occupancy costs solely as a percentage of sales. Certain agreements which provide for operations
of departments in a major retail chain in the United States contain short-term cancellation clauses.
