DORMAN PRODUCTS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 1, 2023 AND MARCH 26, 2022
(UNAUDITED)
1.    Basis of Presentation
As used herein, unless the context requires otherwise, “Dorman,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to Dorman Products, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Our ticker symbol on the NASDAQ Global Select Market is “DORM.”
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and under the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. However, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended April 1, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 or any future period. We may experience significant fluctuations from quarter to quarter in our results of operations due to the timing of orders placed by our customers and the introduction of new products and product lines to customers. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
2.    Acquisitions
On October 4, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), Dorman acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Super ATV, LLC ("SuperATV") (the “Transaction”), for aggregate consideration of $509.8 million (net of $6.8 million cash acquired), plus a potential earn-out payment to the sellers of SuperATV not to exceed $100 million in the aggregate, which remains subject to the achievement by SuperATV of certain revenue and gross margin targets in the years ending December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024. In the three months ended April 1, 2023, we received $0.3 million in cash as proceeds from the closing net working capital adjustments. SuperATV is a leading independent supplier to the powersports aftermarket with a family of highly respected brands spanning functional accessories and upgrades, as well as replacement parts for specialty vehicles.
The Transaction was accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. We have allocated the purchase price to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including the residual amount allocated to goodwill, as of December 31, 2022, is based upon preliminary information and is subject to change within the permitted measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date) as additional information concerning final asset and liability valuations is obtained. The fair values that remain preliminary include tax-related liabilities and contingent liabilities. Any material adjustments to the estimates based upon new information identified during the measurement period will be reflected as of the date of the acquisition.

The table below details the fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, including applicable measurement period adjustments:
(in thousands)
Accounts receivable $ 3,317 
Inventories 90,428 
Prepaids and other current assets 5,293 
Property, plant and equipment 23,776 
Goodwill 247,474 
Identifiable intangible assets 157,500

Other current liabilities (8,726)
Long-term operating lease liabilities (9,508)
Other long-term liabilities (3,307)
Net cash consideration $ 509,778 
The financial results of the Transaction have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.
3.    Sales of Accounts Receivable
We have entered several customer-sponsored programs administered by unrelated financial institutions that permit us to sell (factor) certain accounts receivable at discounted rates to the financial institutions. Transactions under these agreements were accounted for as sales of accounts receivable and the related accounts receivable were removed from our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at the times of the sales transactions. Under these agreements, we sold $237.7 million and $275.2 million of accounts receivable during the three months ended April 1, 2023 and March 26, 2022, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses include factoring costs associated with these accounts receivable sales programs of $13.5 million and $4.9 million during the three months ended April 1, 2023 and March 26, 2022, respectively. The increase in factoring costs for the three months ended April 1, 2023 compared to the prior year period was driven by higher interest rates during the three months ended April 1, 2023.
4.    Inventories
Inventories include the cost of material, freight, direct labor and overhead utilized in the processing of our products and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventories were as follows:

Amortization expense was $5.5 million and $3.0 million during the three months ended April 1, 2023 and March 26, 2022, respectively.
6.    Debt
As of April 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the weighted average interest rate on the outstanding borrowings under our credit facility was 6.41% and 5.78%, respectively.
7.    Commitments and Contingencies
Acquisitions
We have contingent consideration related to an acquisition due to the uncertainty of the ultimate amount of any payments that will become due as earnout payments if performance targets are achieved. If the remaining performance targets for the acquisition are fully achieved, the maximum additional contingent payments to be made under the transaction documents would be $100.0 million in aggregate.
As of April 1, 2023, we accrued $20.5 million, representing the fair value of the estimated payments that we expect could become due in connection with the transaction. For the three months ended April 1, 2023, we recorded a charge of $0.5 million of accretion on the estimated payment liability, with the charge included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Other Contingencies
We are a party to or otherwise involved in legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as various claims and legal actions involving contracts, employment claims, competitive practices, intellectual property infringement, product liability claims and other matters arising out of the conduct of our business.
9

In the opinion of management, none of the actions, individually or in the aggregate, taking into account relevant insurance coverage, would likely have a material financial impact on the Company and we believe the range of reasonably possible losses from current matters, taking into account relevant insurance coverage, is immaterial. However, legal matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and there exists the possibility that the ultimate resolution of any of these matters could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s cash flows, financial position or results of operations in the period in which any such effects are recorded.

As of April 1, 2023, there was $5.7 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.2 years.
10.    Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share was calculated by dividing our net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding unvested RSAs which are considered to be contingently issuable. To calculate diluted earnings per share, common share equivalents are added to the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Common share equivalents are calculated using the treasury stock method and are computed based on outstanding stock-based awards.
For the three months ended April 1, 2023 and March 26, 2022, there were approximately 237,000 shares and 27,000 shares, respectively, that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

11.    Common Stock Repurchases
We periodically repurchase, at the then current market price, and cancel common stock issued to the Dorman Products, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Plan and Trust (the “401(k) Plan”). 401(k) Plan participants can no longer purchase shares of Dorman common stock as an investment option under the 401(k) Plan. Shares are generally purchased by the Company from the 401(k) Plan when participants sell units as permitted by the 401(k) Plan or elect to leave the 401(k) Plan upon retirement, termination or other reasons. The following table summarizes the repurchase and cancellation of common stock by the Company for the periods indicated:
Three Months Ended
April 1, 2023 March 26, 2022
Shares repurchased and canceled 5,125 12,764
Total cost of shares repurchased and canceled (in thousands) $ 434  $ 1,388 
Average price per share $ 84.62  $ 108.74 
Separately, our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $600 million of our common stock through December 31, 2024 under a previously announced share repurchase program and subsequent authorizations. Under this program, share repurchases may be made from time to time depending on market conditions, share price, share availability and other factors at our discretion. The share repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares. At April 1, 2023, $228.0 million was available for repurchase under this share repurchase program. The following table summarizes the repurchase and cancellation of common stock under the share repurchase program:
Three Months Ended
April 1, 2023 March 26, 2022
Shares repurchased and canceled —  98,350
Total cost of shares repurchased and canceled (in thousands) $ —  $ 9,529 
Average price per share $ —  $ 96.89 
12.    Income Taxes
At April 1, 2023, we had $3.4 million of net unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would lower our effective tax rate if recognized. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of April 1, 2023, accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions were not material.
12

We file income tax returns in the United States, Canada, China, India, and Mexico. The statute of limitations for tax years before 2019 is closed for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The statute of limitations for tax years before 2018 is closed for the states in which we file. The statute of limitations for tax years before 2019 is closed for income tax purposes in Canada, China, and India. The statute of limitations for tax years before 2017 is closed for income tax purposes in Mexico.
13.    Related-Party Transactions
We lease our Colmar, PA facility and a portion of our Lewisberry, PA facility from entities in which Steven L. Berman, our Non-Executive Chairman, and certain of his family members are owners. Each lease is a non-cancelable operating lease. Total rental payments to those entities under these lease arrangements will be $2.9 million in fiscal 2023 and were $2.5 million in fiscal 2022. The lease for our corporate headquarters in Colmar, PA was renewed in December 2022, effective as of January 1, 2023, and will expire on December 31, 2027. The lease for our Lewisberry, PA operating facility was signed in September 2020 and will expire on December 31, 2027.
We are a partner in a joint venture with one of our suppliers and own a minority interest in two other suppliers. Two of these investments are accounted for under the equity method and one is accounted for under the cost method.
14.    Fair Value Disclosures
The carrying value of financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other current assets and liabilities approximate their fair value based on the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of borrowings under our credit facility approximates fair value because borrowings under our credit facility bear interest at rates indexed to a market rate (Term SOFR).

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q also may contain additional trade names, trademarks or service marks belonging to other companies. We do not intend our use or display of other parties’ trademarks, trade names or service marks to imply, and such use or display should not be construed to imply, a relationship with or endorsement or sponsorship of us by these parties.
Overview
We are one of the leading suppliers of replacement and upgrade parts in the motor vehicle aftermarket industry, serving passenger cars, light-, medium-, and heavy-duty trucks, as well as specialty vehicles, including utility terrain vehicles (UTVs) and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). As of December 31, 2022, we marketed approximately 129,000 distinct parts compared to approximately 118,000 as of December 25, 2021, many of which we designed and engineered. This number excludes private label stock-keeping units and other variations in how we market, package and distribute our products, includes distinct parts of acquired companies and reflects distinct parts that have been discontinued at the end of their lifecycle. Our products are sold under our various brand names, under our customers’ private label brands or in bulk. We are one of the leading aftermarket suppliers of parts that were traditionally available to consumers only from original equipment, or OE, manufacturers or salvage yards. These parts include, among other parts, leaf springs, intake manifolds, exhaust manifolds, window regulators, radiator fan assemblies, tire pressure monitor sensors, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) coolers, UTV windshields, and complex electronics modules.
We generate most of our net sales from customers in North America, primarily in the United States. Our products are sold primarily through aftermarket retailers, including through their online platforms; dealers; national, regional and local warehouse distributors and specialty markets; and salvage yards. We also distribute aftermarket parts outside the United States, with sales primarily into Canada and Mexico, and to a lesser extent, Europe, the Middle East and Australia.
We may experience significant fluctuations from quarter to quarter in our results of operations due to the timing of orders placed by our customers as well as our ability and the ability of our suppliers to deliver products ordered by our customers. The introduction of new products and product lines to customers, as well as business acquisitions, may also cause significant fluctuations from quarter to quarter.
Critical Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies as described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
New Product Development
New product development is an important success factor for us and traditionally has been our primary vehicle for growth. We have made incremental investments to increase our new product development efforts to grow our business and strengthen our relationships with our customers. The investments primarily have been in the form of increased product development resources, increased customer and end-user awareness programs, and customer service improvements. These investments historically have enabled us to provide an expanding array of new product offerings and grow revenues at levels that generally have exceeded market growth rates.
In the three months ended April 1, 2023, we introduced 984 new distinct parts to our customers and end-users, including 360 “New-to-the-Aftermarket” parts. We introduced 4,443 new distinct parts to our customers and end-users in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, including 1,565 “New-to-the-Aftermarket” parts.
15

One area of focus has been our complex electronics program, which capitalizes on the growing number of electronic components being utilized on today’s OE platforms. New vehicles contain an average of approximately 50 electronic modules, with some high-end luxury vehicles containing over 100 modules. Our complex electronics products are designed and developed in-house and tested to help ensure consistent performance, and our product portfolio is focused on further developing our leadership position in the category.
Another area of focus has been on products we market for the medium- and heavy-duty truck sector of the motor vehicle aftermarket industry. We believe that this sector provides many of the same growth opportunities that the passenger car and light-duty truck sector of the motor vehicle aftermarket industry has provided us. We specialize in offering parts to this sector that were traditionally only available from OE manufacturers or salvage yards, similar to how we approach the passenger car and light-duty truck sector. During fiscal 2022, we introduced 486 distinct parts in this product line. We expect to continue to invest in the medium- and heavy-duty product category.
Acquisitions
A key component of our strategy is growth through acquisitions. On October 4, 2022, we acquired Super ATV, LLC ("SuperATV"), a leading independent supplier to the powersports aftermarket with a family of highly respected brands spanning functional accessories and upgrades, as well as replacement parts for specialty vehicles. See Note 2, Acquisitions under Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. We may acquire businesses in the future to supplement our financial growth, increase our customer base, add to our distribution capabilities or enhance our product development resources, among other reasons.
Economic Factors
The Company’s financial results are also impacted by various economic and industry factors, including, but not limited to the number, age and condition of vehicles in operation at any one time, and the miles driven by those vehicles.
Vehicles in Operation
The Company’s products are primarily purchased and installed on a subsegment of the passenger and light-duty vehicles in operation in the United States (“VIO”), specifically weighted towards vehicles aged 8 to 13 years old. Each year, the United States seasonally adjusted annual rate (“US SAAR”) of new vehicles purchased adds a new year to the VIO. According to data from the Auto Care Association (“Auto Care”), the US SAAR experienced a decline from 2008 to 2011 as consumers purchased fewer new vehicles as a result of the Great Recession of 2008. We believe that the declining US SAAR during that period resulted in a follow-on decline in our primary VIO subsegment (8 to 13-year-old vehicles) commencing in 2016. However, following 2011 and the impact of the Great Recession of 2008, U.S. consumers began to increase their purchases of new vehicles which over time caused the US SAAR to recover and return to more historical levels. Consequently, we expect the VIO for vehicles aged 8 to 13 years old to continue to recover over the next several years.
In addition, we believe that vehicle owners generally are operating their current vehicles longer than they did several years ago, performing necessary repairs and maintenance to keep those vehicles well maintained. We believe this trend has supported an increase in VIO, which increased to 293.4 million in 2022, a 1% increase over 2021. According to data published by Polk, a division of IHS Automotive, the average age of VIO increased to 12.4 years as of October 2022 from 12.2 years as of October 2021.
16

Miles Driven
The number of miles driven is another important statistic that impacts our business. Generally, as vehicles are driven more miles, the more likely it is that parts will fail and there will be increased demand for replacement parts, including our parts. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, the number of miles driven through October 2022 increased 1.5% year over year. We expect this increase in miles driven may continue, given that certain employers have begun to lift work-from-home policies implemented during the pandemic and, consequently, consumers may return to commuting to work on a more regular basis. However, global gasoline prices have been volatile in recent months, which may negatively impact miles driven as consumers reduce travel or seek alternative methods of transportation.
Brand Protection
We operate in a highly competitive market. As a result, we are continuously evaluating our approach to brand, pricing and terms to our different customers and channels. For example, we maintain a brand protection policy, which is designed to ensure that certain products bearing the Dorman name are not advertised below certain approved pricing levels. In addition, we may pursue legal remedies when we see third parties violating our intellectual property rights, including those that violate our patents, wrongfully represent our products as their own or use our product images for their own marketing efforts.
Discounts, Allowances and Incentives
We offer a variety of customer discounts, rebates, defective and slow-moving product returns and other incentives. We may offer cash discounts for paying invoices in accordance with the specified discount terms of the invoice. In addition, we may offer pricing discounts based on volume purchased from us or other pricing discounts related to programs under a customer’s agreement. These discounts can be in the form of “off-invoice” discounts and are immediately deducted from sales at the time of sale. For those customers that choose to receive a payment on a quarterly or annual basis instead of “off-invoice,” we accrue for such payments as the related sales are made and reduce sales accordingly. Finally, rebates and discounts are provided to customers to support promotional activities such as advertising and sales force allowances.
Our customers, particularly our larger retail customers, regularly seek more favorable pricing and product return provisions, and extended payment terms when negotiating with us. We attempt to avoid or minimize these concessions as much as possible, but we have granted pricing concessions, indemnification rights and extended customer payment terms, and allowed a higher level of product returns in certain cases. These concessions impact net sales as well as our profit levels and may require additional capital to finance the business. We expect our customers to continue to exert pressure on our margins.
New Customer Acquisition Costs
We may incur customer acquisition costs where we incur change-over costs to induce a customer to switch from a competitor’s brand, including expanding new product lines into our existing customers. Change-over costs include the costs related to removing the new customer’s inventory and replacing it with our inventory, which is commonly referred to as a stock lift. New customer acquisition costs are recorded as a reduction to revenue when incurred.
Product Warranty and Overstock Returns
Many of our products carry a lifetime limited warranty, which generally covers defects in materials or workmanship and failure to meet specifications. In addition to warranty returns, we also may permit our customers to return new, undamaged products to us within customer-specific limits if they have overstocked their inventories.
17

At the time products are sold, we accrue a liability for product warranties and overstock returns as a percentage of sales based upon estimates established using historical information on the nature, frequency and average cost of the claim and the probability of the customer return. Significant judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with establishing the sales returns and other allowances in any accounting period. Revision to these estimates is made when necessary, based upon changes in these factors. We regularly study trends of such claims.
Foreign Currency
Our products are purchased from suppliers in the United States and a variety of non-U.S. countries. The products generally are purchased through purchase orders with the purchase price specified in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, we generally do not have exposure to fluctuations in the relationship between the U.S. dollar and various foreign currencies between the time of execution of the purchase order and payment for the product.
To the extent that the U.S. dollar changes in value relative to those foreign currencies in the future, the prices charged by our suppliers for products under new purchase orders may change in equivalent U.S. dollars. The largest portion of our overseas purchases comes from China. The Chinese yuan to U.S. dollar exchange rate has fluctuated over the past several years. Any future changes in the value of the Chinese yuan relative to the U.S. dollar may result in a change in the cost of products that we purchase from China. However, the cost of the products we procure is also affected by other factors including raw material availability, labor cost, and transportation costs.
We have subsidiaries located outside the United States with various functional currencies. Because our consolidated financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars, the assets, liabilities, net sales, and expenses that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar must be converted into U.S. dollars using exchange rates for the current period. As a result, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may impact our financial results.
Impact of Labor Market and Inflationary Costs
We have experienced broad-based inflationary impacts during the three months ended April 1, 2023 as well as during the year ended December 31, 2022, due primarily to global transportation and logistics constraints, which have resulted in significantly higher transportation costs; tariffs; material costs; and wage inflation from an increasingly competitive labor market. Increased freight, higher labor costs and material inflation costs may continue to negatively impact our results throughout the remainder of fiscal 2023, despite recent signs of global supply chain constraints easing and ocean freight and commodity costs lowering. We attempt to offset inflationary pressures with cost-saving initiatives, price increases to customers and the use of alternative suppliers. Although we have implemented pass-through price increases to offset inflationary cost impacts, the price increases have often been implemented after we have experienced higher costs resulting in a lag effect to the full recovery of these costs. Furthermore, pricing increases that we implemented to pass through the increased costs had no added profit dollars and consequently did not fully offset the impact that the increased costs had on our gross and operating margin percentages. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in implementing pricing increases in the future to recover increased inflationary costs.
Impact of Interest Rates
Our business is subject to interest rate risk under the terms of our customer accounts receivable sales programs, as a change in the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”) or alternative discount rate affects the cost incurred to factor eligible accounts receivable.
18

Additionally, our outstanding borrowings under our credit facility bear interest at variable rates tied to Term SOFR or the applicable base rate. Under the terms of the credit facility, a change in interest rates affects the rate at which we can borrow funds thereunder and also impacts the interest cost on existing borrowings. During the three months ended April 1, 2023 as well as the year ended December 31, 2022, we saw significant increases in Term SOFR and other reference rates, which impacted our results as discussed in Results of Operations that follows. We expect interest rates may continue to increase in the foreseeable future, increasing the costs associated with our accounts receivable sales programs and outstanding borrowings.
Impact of Tariffs
In the third quarter of 2018, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) began imposing additional tariffs on products imported from China, including many of our products, ranging from 7.5% to 25%. The tariffs enacted to date increase the cost of many of the products that are manufactured for us in China. We have taken several actions to mitigate the impact of the tariffs including, but not limited to, price increases to our customers and cost concessions from our suppliers. We expect to continue mitigating the impact of tariffs primarily through selling price increases to offset the higher tariffs incurred. Tariffs are not expected to have a material impact on our net income but are expected to increase net sales and lower our gross and operating profit margins.
In January 2020, the USTR granted temporary tariff relief for certain categories of products being imported from China. The tariff relief granted by the USTR expired on most categories of products being imported from China at the end of 2020. However, in March 2022, the USTR reinstated tariff relief for certain categories of products imported from China. The reinstated tariff relief applies retroactively to October 12, 2021 and is scheduled to expire on September 30, 2023. The reinstated tariff relief applies to a limited number of our products and is not expected to materially impact our operating results.
Results of Operations
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the percentage of net sales represented by certain items in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations:

Net income $ 5,683  1.2  % $ 35,207  8.8  %
*Percentage of sales information may not add due to rounding
Three Months Ended April 1, 2023 Compared to Three Months Ended March 26, 2022
Net sales increased 16% to $466.7 million for the three months ended April 1, 2023 from $401.6 million for the three months ended March 26, 2022. The increase in net sales reflected the addition of SuperATV in October 2022, successful new product launches, and price increases to offset inflationary costs.
19

Net sales growth for the three months ended April 1, 2023 excluding SuperATV was 3.5%.
Gross profit margin was 31.0% of net sales for the three months ended April 1, 2023 compared to 33.2% of net sales for the three months ended March 26, 2022. The decline in gross margin as a percentage of net sales is primarily due to the sell-through of high-cost inventory purchased in 2022 that was impacted by inflationary costs, partially offset by the favorable impacts of pricing actions and the addition of SuperATV, which has a higher gross margin percentage than the Company average.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were $126.4 million, or 27.1% of net sales, for the three months ended April 1, 2023 compared to $86.5 million, or 21.5% of net sales, for the three months ended March 26, 2022. The increase in SG&A as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to the impact of higher interest rates on our customer accounts receivable factoring programs and the addition of SuperATV, which has higher SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales than the Company average. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales also increased in the three months ended April 1, 2023 as a result of a charge recorded related to a customer bankruptcy filing.
Our effective tax rate was 12.8% for the three months ended April 1, 2023 compared to 22.7% for the three months ended March 26, 2022. The decrease in the effective tax rate was due to favorable discrete items in the quarter, partially offset by an increase in state tax expense and the effect of foreign operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, our primary sources of liquidity have been our invested cash and the cash flow we generate from our operations, including accounts receivable sales programs provided by certain customers. Cash and cash equivalents were $33.3 million at April 1, 2023 and $46.0 million at December 31, 2022. Working capital was $582.8 million at April 1, 2023 compared to $590.8 million at December 31, 2022. Shareholders’ equity was $1,049.1 million at April 1, 2023 and $1,042.6 million at December 31, 2022.
Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our sources of available capital are adequate to meet our ongoing cash needs for at least the next twelve months. However, our liquidity could be negatively affected by extending payment terms to customers, a decrease in demand for our products, increases in interest rates, the outcome of contingencies or other factors. See Note 7, “Commitments and Contingencies”, in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding commitments and contingencies that may affect our liquidity.
Payment Terms and Accounts Receivable Sales Programs
Over the past several years, we have continued to extend payment terms to certain customers as a result of customer requests and market demands. These extended terms have resulted in increased accounts receivable levels and significant uses of cash. We participate in accounts receivable sales programs with several customers that allow us to sell our accounts receivable to financial institutions to offset the negative cash flow impact of these payment term extensions. However, any sales of accounts receivable through these programs ultimately result in us receiving a lesser amount of cash upfront than if we collected those accounts receivable ourselves in due course, resulting in accounts receivable factoring costs. Moreover, to the extent that any of these accounts receivable sales programs bear interest at rates tied to the Term SOFR or other reference rates, increases in these applicable rates increase our cost to sell our receivables and reduce the amount of cash we receive. See ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk for more information. Further extensions of customer payment terms would result in additional uses of cash or increased costs associated with the sales of accounts receivable.
20

During the three months ended April 1, 2023 and March 26, 2022, we sold $237.7 million and $275.2 million of accounts receivable, respectively, under these programs. If receivables had not been sold over the previous twelve months, approximately $745.9 million and $722.3 million of additional accounts receivable would have been outstanding at April 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, based on our standard payment terms. We had capacity to sell more accounts receivable under these programs if the needs of the business warranted. Further extensions of customer payment terms would result in additional uses of cash or increased costs associated with the sales of accounts receivable.
During the three months ended April 1, 2023 and March 26, 2022, factoring costs associated with these accounts receivable sales programs were $13.5 million and $4.9 million, respectively. The increase in factoring costs year over year was driven by higher Term SOFR and other reference rates.
Credit Agreement
The Company has a credit agreement that provides a $600.0 million revolving credit facility and includes a $500.0 million term loan with quarterly amortization payment requirements. The credit agreement matures on October 4, 2027. As of April 1, 2023, there was $215.5 million in outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility, and $493.8 million in outstanding borrowings under the term loan. Also on that date, we had three outstanding letters of credit for $1.0 million in aggregate. Net of outstanding borrowings and letters of credit, we had $383.5 million available under the credit facility at April 1, 2023.
Our credit agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants. As of April 1, 2023, we were not in default with respect to our credit agreement.
Refer to Note 7, “Long-Term Debt” to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in PART II, ITEM 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, for additional information.
Cash Flows
The following summarizes the activities included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:
Three Months Ended
(in thousands) April 1, 2023 March 26, 2022
Cash provided by operating activities $ 26,210  $ 23,214 
Cash used in investing activities (10,270) (6,652)
Cash used in financing activities (28,663) (21,963)
Effect of foreign exchange on cash and cash equivalents (4) 46 
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents $ (12,727) $ (5,355)
During the three months ended April 1, 2023, cash provided by operating activities was $26.2 million compared to $23.2 million during the three months ended March 26, 2022. The $3.0 million increase was driven by higher cash inflows for working capital, partially offset by lower income during the three months ended April 1, 2023, compared to the prior year period.
Investing activities used cash of $10.3 million and $6.7 million during the three months ended April 1, 2023 and March 26, 2022, respectively.
21

Financing activities used cash of $28.7 million and $22.0 million during the three months ended April 1, 2023 and March 26, 2022, respectively. During the three months ended April 1, 2023, we repaid $23.9 million of outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility, and $3.1 million of our term loan balance under our credit agreement. During the three months ended March 26, 2022, we repaid $10.0 million of outstanding borrowing under our revolving credit facility. We also paid $9.5 million to repurchase 98,350 shares of common stock under our share repurchase plan during the three months ended March 26, 2022. The remaining uses of cash from financing activities in each period resulted primarily from the repurchase of our common stock from our 401(k) Plan and income tax withholding in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and restricted stock units (“RSUs”).
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates. Accounts receivable factored under our customer-sponsored accounts receivable sales programs bear interest at rates tied to Term SOFR or alternative discount rates and result in us incurring costs as those accounts receivable are factored. Additionally, interest expense from our variable rate debt is impacted by reference rates.
Under the terms of our customer-sponsored programs to sell accounts receivable, a change in the reference rate would affect the amount of financing costs we incur, and the amount of cash we receive upon the sales of accounts receivable under these programs. A one-percentage-point increase in Term SOFR or the discount rates on the accounts receivable sales programs would have increased our factoring costs and reduced the amount of cash we would have received by approximately $2.1 million for both the three months ended April 1, 2023 and March 26, 2022.
Under the terms of our credit agreement, a change in the reference rate or the lender’s base rate would affect the rate at which we could borrow funds thereunder. A one-percentage-point increase in the reference rate or base rate would have increased our interest expense on our variable rate debt under our credit agreement by approximately $1.8 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended April 1, 2023 and March 26, 2022, respectively.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this report, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e), were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
On October 4, 2022, we completed our acquisition of Super ATV, LLC ("SuperATV"). We are in the process of evaluating the existing controls and procedures of SuperATV and integrating SuperATV into our internal control over financial reporting. In accordance with SEC Staff guidance permitting a company to exclude an acquired business from management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting for a period of one year following the date on which the acquisition is completed, we have excluded SuperATV from our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of April 1, 2023. Refer to Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
22

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Except for the acquisition of SuperATV noted above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act), that occurred during the three months ended April 1, 2023, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Control systems, no matter how well-conceived and operated, are designed to provide a reasonable, but not an absolute, level of assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. The Company conducts periodic evaluations of its internal controls to enhance, where necessary, its procedures and controls.

ARTICLE II MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS
Section 2.1    Place of Meetings of Shareholders. Meetings of shareholders shall be held at such geographic locations, within or without the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as may be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may determine, in their sole discretion, to hold a virtual meeting of shareholders by means of any electronic communications technology, including the Internet, in addition to or instead of a meeting at a particular geographic location, to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by the Pennsylvania BCL. If no such place is fixed by the Board of Directors, meetings of the shareholders shall be held at the registered office of the Corporation.
Section 2.2    Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
(a)    Time. A meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation shall be held in each calendar year, at such time as the Board of Directors may determine. If the annual meeting is not called and held within six months after the designated time, any shareholder may call the meeting at any time thereafter.

(b)    the Board of Directors.
Upon the written request of any person who has called a special meeting and is entitled to do so under these By-laws or applicable law, which request specifies the general nature of the business to be transacted at such meeting, it shall be the duty of the Secretary to fix the time and place of such meeting, which shall be held no more than 60 days after the receipt of such request, and to give due notice thereof as required by Section 2-4 hereof. If the Secretary neglects or refuses to fix the time and place of such meeting, the person or persons calling the meeting may do so. Unless the Pennsylvania BCL requires otherwise, this Section 2-3 may not be amended, repealed or altered, and no other By-law may be adopted inconsistent with this Section 2-3, without the affirmative vote of the shareholders owning at least two-thirds of all shares outstanding and entitled to vote, in person or by proxy, at any annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation.

Written notice, complying with Article VI of these By-laws, stating the place and time and, in the case of special meetings, the general nature of the business to be transacted at any meeting of the shareholders shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting, except as provided in the Pennsylvania BCL, at least 10 days prior to the day named for the meeting. Such notices may be given by, or at the direction of, the Secretary or other authorized person. If the Secretary or other authorized person neglects or refuses to give notice of a meeting, the person or persons calling the meeting may do so.
Section 2.5    Quorum of and Action by Shareholders.
(a)    General Rule. Except as provided in subsections (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 2-5, the presence, in person or by proxy, of shareholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes that all shareholders are entitled to cast on a particular matter to be acted upon at the meeting shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of consideration and action on the matter.
(b)    Action by Shareholders. Whenever any corporate action is to be taken by vote of the shareholders of the Corporation at a duly organized meeting of shareholders, except as otherwise specifically provided by law, the Articles or these By-laws, it shall be authorized by a majority of the votes cast at the meeting by the holders of shares entitled to vote thereon. Unless the Pennsylvania BCL permits otherwise, this Section 2-5(b) may be modified only by a By-law amendment adopted by the shareholders.
(c)    Withdrawal. The shareholders present at a duly organized meeting can continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum.
(d)    Election of Directors at Adjourned Meetings. In the case of any meeting called for the election of Directors, those shareholders who attend a meeting called for the election of Directors that has been previously adjourned for lack of a quorum, although less than a quorum as fixed in subsection (a), shall nevertheless constitute a quorum for the purpose of electing Directors.
(e)    Conduct of Other Business at Adjourned Meetings. Those shareholders entitled to vote who attend a meeting of shareholders that has been previously adjourned for one or more periods aggregating at least 15 days because of an absence of a quorum, although less than a quorum as fixed in subsection (a), shall nevertheless constitute a quorum for the purpose of acting upon any matter set forth in the notice of meeting if the notice states that those shareholders who attend the adjourned meeting shall nevertheless constitute a quorum for the purpose of acting upon the matter.
Section 2.6    Adjournments.
(a)    General Rule. Adjournments of any regular or special meeting of shareholders, including one at which directors are to be elected, may be taken for such periods as the shareholders present and entitled to vote shall direct.
2




(b)    Lack of Quorum. If a meeting cannot be organized because a quorum has not attended, those present may, except as otherwise provided in the Pennsylvania BCL, adjourn the meeting to such time and place as they may determine.
(c)    Notice of an Adjourned Meeting. When a meeting of shareholders is adjourned, it shall not be necessary to give any notice of the adjourned meeting or of the business to be transacted at an adjourned meeting, other than by announcement at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, unless the Board fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting.
Section 2.7    Voting List, Voting and Proxies.
(a)    Voting List. The officer or agent having charge of the transfer books for shares of the Corporation shall make a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address of and the number of shares held by each. The list shall be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection of any shareholder during the whole time of the meeting for the purposes thereof except that, if the Corporation has 5,000 or more shareholders, in lieu of the making of the list the Corporation may make the information therein available at the meeting by any other means.
(b)    Voting. Except as otherwise specifically provided by law, the Articles or these By-laws, all matters coming before the meeting shall be determined by a vote of shares and any matter to be so determined shall be authorized by a majority of the votes cast at a duly organized meeting of shareholders by the holders of shares entitled to vote thereon.
(c)    Proxies. At all meetings of shareholders, shareholders entitled to vote may attend and vote either in person or by proxy. Every proxy shall be executed or authenticated in accordance with the Pennsylvania BCL by the shareholder or by such shareholder’s duly authorized attorney-in-fact and filed with or transmitted to the Secretary of the Corporation. A proxy, unless coupled with an interest (as defined in the Pennsylvania BCL), shall be revocable at will, notwithstanding any other agreement or any provision in the proxy to the contrary, but the revocation of a proxy shall not be effective until notice thereof has been given in accordance with the Pennsylvania BCL to the Secretary of the Corporation. An unrevoked proxy shall not be valid after three years from the date of its execution, authentication or transmission unless a longer time is expressly provided therein. A proxy shall not be revoked by the death or incapacity of the maker unless, before the vote is counted or the authority is exercised, written notice of the death or incapacity is given to the Secretary of the Corporation.
(d)    Judges of Election. In advance of any meeting of shareholders of the Corporation, the Board of Directors may appoint one or three Judges of Election, who need not be shareholders and who will have such duties as provided in the Pennsylvania BCL, to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. If one or three Judges of Election are not so appointed, the presiding officer of the meeting may, and on the request of any shareholder shall, appoint one or three Judges of Election at the meeting. In case any person appointed as a Judge of Election fails to appear or refuses to act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment made by the Board of Directors in advance of the convening of the meeting or at the meeting by the presiding officer. A person who is a candidate for office to be filled at the meeting shall not act as a Judge of Election. Unless the Pennsylvania BCL permits otherwise, this Section 2-7(d) may be modified only by a By-law amendment adopted by the shareholders.
(e)    No Consents in Lieu of a Meeting. No action of the shareholders shall be taken by either unanimous consent or partial written consent or other consent in lieu of a
3




meeting. Unless the Pennsylvania BCL requires otherwise, this Section 2-7(e) may not be amended, repealed or altered, and no other By-law may be adopted inconsistent with this Section 2-7(e), without the affirmative vote of the shareholders owning at least two-thirds of all shares outstanding and entitled to vote, in person or by proxy, at any annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation.
Section 2.8    Participation in Meetings by Conference Telephone or Other Electronic Technology. The Board may permit by resolution with respect to a particular meeting of the shareholders, or the presiding officer of such meeting may permit, that the presence or participation, including voting and taking other action, at a meeting of shareholders by a shareholder by conference telephone or other electronic means, including, without limitation, the Internet, shall constitute the presence of, or vote or action by, the shareholder. Unless the Board, or the presiding officer of such meeting, so permits, no person may so participate in a meeting of the shareholders by means of conference telephone or other electronic means.
Section 2.9    Notice of Shareholder Proposals.
(a)    At any annual or special meeting of the shareholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before such meeting. To be properly brought before an annual or special meeting, business must be (i) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board, (ii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board, or (iii) otherwise properly and timely brought before the meeting by any shareholder of the Corporation in compliance with the notice procedures and other provisions of this Section 2-9.
(b)    For business to be properly brought before an annual or special meeting by a shareholder, such business must be a proper subject for shareholder action under the Pennsylvania BCL and other applicable law, as determined by the Chairman of the Board or such other person as is presiding over the meeting, and such shareholder (i) must be a shareholder of record on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 2-9 and on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote at such annual or special meeting, (ii) must be entitled to vote at such annual or special meeting, and (iii) must comply with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2-9. In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business to be properly brought before an annual or special meeting by a shareholder, such shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Secretary.
(c) For an annual meeting of shareholders, to be timely, a shareholder’s notice must be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) calendar day, and not later than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) calendar day, prior to the first anniversary of the immediately preceding year’s annual meeting of shareholders; provided, however, that in the event that no annual meeting was held in the previous year or the annual meeting is called for a date that is more than thirty (30) calendar days earlier or more than sixty (60) calendar days later than such anniversary date, notice by the shareholder in order to be timely must be so delivered or received not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) calendar day prior to the date of such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) calendar day prior to the date of such annual meeting or, if the first public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting is less than one hundred (100) calendar days prior to the date of such annual meeting, the tenth (10th) calendar day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting is first made by the Corporation.

(b)    Designations, etc. To the extent that the Corporation is authorized to issue shares of more than one class or series, every certificate shall set forth upon the face or back of the certificate (or shall state on the face or back of the certificate that the Corporation will furnish to any shareholder upon request and without charge) a full or summary statement of the designations, voting rights, preferences, limitations and special rights of the shares of each class or series authorized to be issued so far as they have been fixed and determined, and the authority of the Board of Directors to fix and determine the designations, voting rights, preferences, limitations and special rights of the classes and series of shares of the Corporation.

Section 5.3    Determination of Shareholders of Record.
17




(a)    Fixing Record Date.

Only shareholders of record on the date fixed shall be so entitled notwithstanding any transfer of shares on the books of the Corporation after any record date fixed as provided in this subsection. The Board of Directors may similarly fix a record date for the determination of shareholders of record for any other purpose. When a determination of shareholders of record has been made as provided in this Section for purposes of a meeting, the determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting.
(b)    Determination when No Record Date Fixed. If a record date is not fixed:
(i)    The record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day immediately preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

18




Thereupon, a new share certificate shall be issued to the registered owner or his or her assigns in lieu of the alleged lost, destroyed, mislaid or wrongfully taken certificate, provided that the request therefore and issuance thereof have been made before the Corporation has notice that such shares have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser.

Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of uncertificated shares, the Corporation shall send to the registered owner thereof a written notice containing the information required to be set forth or stated on certificates. The rights and obligations of the holders of shares represented by certificates and the rights and obligations of the holders of uncertificated shares of the same class and series shall be identical. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of Section 5-2 shall be inapplicable to uncertificated shares and in lieu thereof the Board of Directors shall adopt alternative procedures for registration of transfers.

Section 6.2    Method of Notice. Any notice required to be given to any person under the provisions of these By-laws or otherwise may be given to the person either personally or by sending a copy thereof (i) by first class or express mail, postage prepaid, or courier service, charges prepaid, to such person’s address appearing on the books of the Corporation or, in the case of Directors, supplied by such Director to the Corporation for the purpose of notice.

Whenever any notice is required to be given by law (including the provisions of the Pennsylvania BCL) or the Articles or these By-laws, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to the notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of the notice. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, a meeting need be specified in the waiver of notice of the meeting. Attendance of a person at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of the meeting except where a person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting was not lawfully called or convened.
Section 6.5    Compliance with Law. Whenever any notice or communication is required to be given to any person under the provisions of the Pennsylvania BCL or by the Articles, these By-laws, the terms of any agreement or other instrument or as a condition precedent to taking any corporate action, and communication with that person is then unlawful, the giving of the notice or communication to that person shall not be required.
Section 6.6    Shareholders without Forwarding Addresses. Notices or other communications need not be sent to any shareholder with whom the Corporation has been unable to communicate for more than 24 consecutive months because communications to the shareholder are returned unclaimed or the shareholder has otherwise failed to provide the Corporation with a current address.

The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify its directors and officers who were or are a party or are threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (whether or not such action, suit or proceeding arises or arose by or in the right of the Corporation or other entity) by reason of the fact that such director or officer is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, general partner, agent or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including service with respect to employee benefit plans), against expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ and investigation fees and costs), judgments, fines (including excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan) and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such director or officer in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, except as otherwise provided in Section 7-1(c) hereof.

20




(c)    Exceptions. No indemnification under Section 7-1(a) or advancement or reimbursement of expenses under Section 7-1(b) shall be provided to a person covered by Section 7-1(a) hereof: (i) with respect to expenses or the payment of profits arising from the purchase or sale of securities of the Corporation in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; (ii) if a final unappealable judgment or award establishes that such director or officer engaged in intentional misconduct or a transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit; (iii) for expenses or liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement) which have been paid directly to, or for the benefit of, such person by an insurance carrier under a policy of officers’ and directors’ liability insurance whose premiums are paid for by the Corporation or by an individual or entity other than such director or officer; and (iv) for amounts paid in settlement of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding without the written consent of the Corporation, which written consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Board of Directors of the Corporation is hereby authorized, at any time by resolution, to add to the above list of exceptions from the right of indemnification under Section 7-1(a) or advancement or reimbursement of expenses under Section 7-1(b), but any such additional exception shall not apply with respect to any event, act or omission which occurred prior to the date that the Board of Directors in fact adopts such resolution. Any such additional exception may, at any time after its adoption, be amended, supplemented, waived or terminated by further resolution of the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
(d)    Continuation of Rights. The indemnification and advancement or reimbursement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VII shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a member, director or officer of the Corporation, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.
(e)    General Provisions.
(i)    The term “to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law”, as used in this Article VII shall mean the maximum extent permitted by public policy, common law or statute. Any person covered by Section 7-1(a) hereof may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, elect to have the right to indemnification or to advancement or reimbursement of expenses, interpreted, at such person’s option; (i) on the basis of the applicable law on the date this Section was approved by the shareholders; or (ii) on the basis of the applicable law in effect at the time of the occurrence of the event, act or omission giving rise to the action, suit or proceeding, or (iii) on the basis of the applicable law in effect at the time indemnification is sought.
(ii)    The right of a person covered by Section 7-1(a) hereof to be indemnified or to receive an advancement or reimbursement of expenses pursuant to Section 7-1(b) (A) may be enforced as a contract right pursuant to which the person entitled thereto may bring suit as if the provisions hereof were set forth in a separate written contract between the Corporation and such person; (B) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, is intended to be retroactive and shall be available with respect to events, acts or omissions occurring prior to the adoption hereof; and (C) shall continue to exist after the rescission or restrictive modification (as determined by such person) of any provision of this Article VII with respect to events, acts and omissions occurring before such rescission or restrictive modification is adopted.
21




(iii)    If a request for indemnification or for the advancement or reimbursement of expenses pursuant hereto is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty (30) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation together with all supporting information reasonably requested by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim (plus interest at the prime rate announced from time to time by the Corporation’s primary lending bank) and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled also to be paid the expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ and investigation fees and costs) of prosecuting such claim. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or independent legal counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of or the advancement or reimbursement of expenses to the claimant is proper in the circumstances, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or independent legal counsel) that the claimant is not entitled to indemnification or to the reimbursement or advancement of expenses, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant is not so entitled.
(iv)    The indemnification and advancement or reimbursement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement or reimbursement of expenses may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
(v)    Nothing contained in this Article VII shall be construed to limit the rights and powers the Corporation possesses under Chapter 17, Subchapter D of the Pennsylvania BCL or otherwise, including, but not limited to, the powers to purchase and maintain insurance, create funds to secure or insure its indemnification obligations, and any other rights or powers the Corporation may otherwise have under applicable law.
(vi)    The provisions of this Article VII may, at any time (and whether before or after there is any basis for a claim for indemnification or for the advancement or reimbursement of expenses pursuant hereto), be amended, supplemented, waived, or terminated, in whole or in part, with respect to any person covered by Section 7-1(a) hereof by a written agreement signed by the Corporation and such person.
(vii)    The Corporation shall have the right to appoint the attorney for a person covered by Section 7-1(a) hereof, provided such appointment is not unreasonable under the circumstances.
(f)    Optional Indemnification. The Corporation may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, and advance or reimburse expenses for, persons in all situations other than that covered by Section 7-1(a) or (b).
(g)    Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, for the benefit of any person on behalf of whom insurance is permitted to be purchased by Pennsylvania law against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person under Pennsylvania or other law. The Corporation may also purchase and maintain insurance to insure its indemnification obligations whether arising hereunder or otherwise.
(h)    Fund For Payment of Expenses. The Corporation may create a fund of any nature, which may, but need not, be under the control of a trustee, or otherwise may secure
22




in any manner its indemnification obligations, whether arising hereunder, under the Articles, by agreement, vote of shareholders or Directors, or otherwise.
Section 7.2    Amendment. The provisions of this Article VII relating to the limitation of Directors’ liability, to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses shall constitute a contract between the Corporation and each of its Directors and officers which may be modified as to any Director or officer only with that person’s consent or as specifically provided in this Section. Notwithstanding any other provision of these By-laws relating to their amendment generally, any repeal or amendment of this Article VII which is adverse to any Director or officer shall apply to such Director or officer only on a prospective basis, and shall not reduce any limitation on the personal liability of a Director of the Corporation or limit the rights of an Indemnitee to indemnification or to the advancement of expenses with respect to any action or failure to act occurring prior to the time of such repeal or amendment. Notwithstanding any other provision of these By-laws, no repeal or amendment of these By-laws shall affect any or all of this Article so as either to reduce the limitation of Directors’ liability or limit indemnification or the advancement of expenses in any manner unless adopted by (a) the unanimous vote of the Directors of the Corporation then serving, or (b) the affirmative vote of the shareholders owning at least two-thirds of all shares outstanding and entitled to vote, in person or by proxy, at an annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation; provided, that no such amendment shall have retroactive effect inconsistent with the preceding sentence.
Section 7.3    Changes in Pennsylvania Law. References in this Article VII to Pennsylvania law or to any provision thereof shall be to such law as it existed on the date this Article VII was adopted or as such law thereafter may be changed; provided that (a) in the case of any change which expands the liability of Directors or limits the indemnification rights or the rights to advancement of expenses which the Corporation may provide, the rights to limited liability, to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses provided in this Article shall continue as theretofore to the extent permitted by law; and (b) if such change permits the Corporation without the requirement of any further action by shareholders or Directors to limit further the liability of Directors (or limit the liability of officers) or to provide broader indemnification rights or rights to the advancement of expenses than the Corporation was permitted to provide prior to such change, then liability thereupon shall be so limited and the rights to indemnification and the advancement of expenses shall be so broadened to the extent permitted by law.
ARTICLE VIII FISCAL YEAR
Section 8.1    Determination of Fiscal Year. The Board of Directors shall have the power by resolution to fix the fiscal year of the Corporation. If the Board of Directors shall fail to do so, the President shall fix the fiscal year.
