by, such right under the All-Sport Agreement, this Section 12.1 shall remain in full force and effect; (b) if such
right under the All-Sport Agreement is no longer in effect for any reason, then this Section 12.1 shall no longer

party or present to Licensee, and Licensee shall not be obligated to respond to, any third-party offer for the

IMGCL Labor Code Standards
Schedule I

I. Introduction: IMG College Licensing ("IMGCL") and the collegiate institutions represented by IMGCL
("Collegiate Institutions") are each committed to conducting their business affairs in a socially responsible and
ethical manner consistent with their respective educational, research and/or service missions, and to protecting and
preserving the global environment. While IMGCL and the Collegiate Institutions believe that Licensees share this
commitment, IMGCL and certain Collegiate Institutions have adopted the following Labor Code Standards (the
"Code") which requires that all Licensees, at a minimum, adhere to the principles set forth in the Code.

Throughout the Code the term "Licensee" shall include all persons or entities which have entered into a written
"License Agreement" with IMGCL to manufacture "Licensed Articles" (as that term is defined in the License
Agreement) bearing the names, trademarks and/or images of one or more Collegiate Institutions. The term
"Licensee" shall for purposes of the Code, and unless otherwise specified in the Code, encompass all of Licensees'
contractors, subcontractors or manufacturers which produce, assemble or package finished Licensed Articles for
the consumer.

II. Standards: Licensees agree to operate work places and contract with companies whose work places adhere to the
standards and practices described below. IMGCL and the Collegiate Institutions prefer that Licensees exceed these
standards.

A. Legal Compliance: Licensees must comply with all applicable legal requirements of the country(ies) of
manufacture in conducting business related to or involving the production or sale of Licensed Articles. Where
there are differences or conflicts with the Code and the laws of the country(ies) of manufacture, the higher
standard shall prevail, subject to the following considerations. In countries where law or practice conflicts with
these labor standards, Licensees agree to consult with governmental, human rights, labor and business
organizations and to take effective actions as evaluated by IMGCL, the applicable Collegiate Institution(s) or
their designee, and the applicable Licensee(s) to achieve the maximum possible compliance with each of these
standards. Licensees further agree to refrain from any actions that would diminish the protections of these labor
standards. ·

B. Employment Standards: Licensees shall comply with the following standards:

1. Wages and Benefits: Licensees recognize that wages are essential to meeting employees' basic needs.
Licensees shall pay employees, as a floor, at least the minimum wage required by local law or the local
prevailing industry wage, whichever is higher, and shall provide legally mandated benefits. 1

2. Working Hours: Except in extraordinary business circumstances, hourly and/or quota-based wage
employees shall (i) not be required to work more than the lesser of (a) 48 hours per week and 12 hours
overtime or (b) the limits on regular and overtime hours allowed by the law of the country of manufacture
or, where the laws of such country do not limit the hours of work, the regular work week in such country
plus 12 hours overtime; and (ii) be entitled to at least one day off in every seven day period.

3. Overtime Compensation: In addition to their compensation for regular hours of work, hourly and/or quota-
based wage employees shall be compensated for overtime hours at such a premium rate as is legally required
in the country of manufacture or, in those countries where such laws do not exist, at a rate at least equal to
their regular hourly compensation rate.

1
IMGCL and the Collegiate Institutions will continue to monitor these issues and will promote studies that examine
conditions and factors related to minimwn and prevailing wages and employees' basic needs.
4. Child Labor: Licensees shall not employ any person at an age younger than 15 (or 14, where, consistent
with International Labor Organization practices for developing countries, the law of the country of
manufacture allows such exception). Where the age for completing compulsory education is higher than
the standard for the minimum age of employment stated above, the higher age for completing compulsory
education shall apply to this section. Licensees agree to consult with governmental, human rights and
nongovernmental organizations, and to take reasonable steps as evaluated by IMGCL, the applicable
Collegiate Institution(s) or their designee, and the applicable Licensee(s) to minimize the negative impact
on children released from employment as a result of implementation or enforcement of the Code.

5. Forced Labor: There shall not be any use of forced prison labor, indentured labor, bonded labor or other
forced labor.

6. Health and Safety: Licensees shall provide a safe and healthy working environment to prevent accidents
and injury to health arising out of, linked with, or occurring in the course of work or as a result of the
operation of Licensee facilities.

7. Nondiscrimination: No person shall be subject to any discrimination in employment, including hiring,


salary, benefits, advancement, discipline, termination or retirement, on the basis of gender, race, religion,
age, disability, sexual orientation, nationality, political opinion, or social or ethnic origin.

8. Harassment or Abuse: Every employee shall be treated with dignity and respect. No employee shall be
subject to any physical, sexual, psychological or verbal harassment or abuse. Licensees will not use or
tolerate any form of corporal punishment.

9. Freedom of Association and Collective Bargaining: Licensees shall recognize and respect the right of
employees to freedom of association and collective bargaining.

EXHIBIT A

PROTOCOL FOR WRC INVESTIGATIONS


OF NIKE SUPPLIER FACTORIES

I) Request for Access

A) The Worker Rights Consortium ("WRC") will provide Nike, Inc., ("Nike") with a written request for
access to a specific Nike supplier factory, for the purpose of conducting an investigation of working
conditions at the factory or to confirm remediation as described in Section l(B). The WRC will provide
the substantive reasons for the request when requesting access to the factory. If requested by the WRC,
Nike will not disclose the reasons for requesting access to the factory.

B) Nike will use its best efforts, using all available economic leverage including exit, to facilitate access to
the factory, including its facilities and personnel, within fifteen (15) days from receiving the WRC's
written request. In extraordinary circumstances, Nike will use its best efforts, using all available
economic leverage including exit, to facilitate access no more than twenty-one (21) days from receiving
the WRC' s written request. In the event that an urgent problem is reported at the factory, Nike will
facilitate access for the WRC as soon as possible. Consistent with Section I(A), the WRC will have the
ability to return to the factory, after its initial visit, to confinn that remediation has occurred.

C) To the extent possible, Nike will share records of audits that have been conducted at the factory by
Nike's staff, its agents, or other organizations. Nike and the WRC will discuss any findings that have
been made and corrective actions that have been recommended or implemented. The WRC will review
and give due consideration to findings reached by other organizations that have previously conducted
audits or assessments in the factory.

II) Investigation

A) The WRC will be permitted to take photographs, copy documents, and interview factory workers and
managers.

B) Following an inspection, or in lieu of inspection when determined by the WRC, Nike will use its best
efforts to ensure the WRC has access to physical or electronic records needed to complete the WRC's
investigation.

C) Nike's staff or its agents may be present in the factory during the WRC's investigation. The WRC will
make best efforts to coordinate logistics with other entities. If coordinating schedules between Nike or
its agents and the WRC would cause a significant delay, then Nike will facilitate separate access to the
factory for the WRC. When necessary, the WRC will be permitted to review personnel records or
interview factory workers or managers in private in order to protect confidentiality and anonymity.

D) The WRC will protect the confidentiality of competitive or proprietary information related to Nike or
the factory obtained during its investigation.
III) Remediation and Reporting

A) The WRC will provide reasonable notice, including a detailed summary of findings, to Nike prior to
publishing its factory report in order to include commitments from Nike or the factory regarding
remediation, or for Nike or the factory to demonstrate that appropriate corrective actions have been
taken or are in process. The WRC may communicate its fmdings, prior to the publication of its report,
to the factory owners, the factory workers, their representatives, government officials, and/or other
buyers, and will discourage these parties from prematurely circulating this information. The WRC will
not communicate its findings to any parties other than these prior to publication of its report. In its
factory report, the WRC will identify all brands and retailers that it knows to be sourcing from the
factory and specify which of them are university licensees sourcing university apparel.

B) Nike and the WRC will work with the factory- and, if possible, non-collegiate apparel brands and
retailers sourcing from the factory - to develop a remediation plan within a reasonable time after Nike
receives the WRC's summary offmdings. To the extent that the WRC learns that the factory
manufactures university-licensed products for other university licensees, the WRC will engage all
university licensees sourcing from the factory to discuss its findings and work together on a remediation
plan. If Nike and the WRC agree on the needed outcome of remediation but disagree on the process of
achieving remediation, the parties will discuss such differences, and the WRC will retain the absolute
right to express its recommendations regarding remediation in its reports.

C) In the event that a problem identified at the factory is of such an urgent nature (for example, where there
is an imminent danger to workers' health and safety, or where a mass dismissal of workers is imminent
or has occurred) that immediate reporting is necessary, the WRC will notify Nike and publicly report
the problem.
