SCHEDULE 6.1.5

LITIGATION

The Borrowers are subject to litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business, including employment, intellectual property and product liability claims. The Borrowers are not currently party to pending legal proceedings that the Company believes, if adversely determine, could result in a material Adverse Change, with the following possible exceptions.

1. In re Crocs Securities Litigation, Case No. 07-CV-02351-REB-KLM (consolidated with Case Nos. 07-CV-02412-MSK, 07-CV-02454-EWN, 07-CB-02465-WYD and 07-CV- 02469-DEM). Crocs, Inc. and certain current and former officers and directors have been named as defendants in complaints filed by investors in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. The first complaint was filed in November 2007 and several other complaints were filed shortly thereafter. These actions were consolidated and, in September 2008, the District Court appointed a lead plaintiff and counsel. An amended consolidated complaint was filed in December 2008. The amended complaint purports to state claims under Section 10(b), 20(a), and 20A of the Exchange Act on behalf of a class of all persons who purchased the Company’s common stock between April 2, 2007 and April 14, 2008 (the “Class Period”). The amended complaint also added the Company’s independent auditor as a defendant. The amended complaint alleges that, during the Class Period, the defendants made false and misleading public statements about the Company and its business and prospects and, as a result, the market price of its common stock was artificially inflated. The amended complaint also claims that certain current and former officers and directors traded in the Company’s common stock on the basis of material non-public information. The amended complaint seeks compensatory damages on behalf of the alleged class in an unspecified amount, including interest, and also added attorneys’ fees and costs of litigation. On February 28, 2011, the District Court granted motions to dismiss filed by the defendants and dismissed all claims. A final judgment was thereafter entered. Plaintiffs subsequently appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.

The Company and those current and former officers and directors named as defendants have entered into a Stipulation of Settlement with the plaintiffs that would, if approved by the United States District Court for the District of Colorado, resolve all claims asserted against the Company by the plaintiffs on behalf of the putative class, and plaintiffs’ appeal would be dismissed. The Company’s independent auditor is not a party to the Stipulation of Settlement. The Stipulation of Settlement received preliminary approval from the District Court on August 28, 2013. It remains subject to customary conditions, including final court approval following notice to stockholders. On February 13, 2014, a final settlement hearing took place and the parties are awaiting a ruling in conjunction with the same. If the settlement becomes final, all amounts required by the settlement will be paid by the Company’s insurers.

2. The Company is currently subject to an audit by U.S. Customs & Border Protection (“CBP”) in respect of the period from 2006 to 2010. In October 2013, CBP issued a

revised final audit report to which the Company filed comments and objections. CBP has stated that a final report. In that report, CBP projects that unpaid duties totaling approximately $12.4 million are due for the period under review (a reduction from $14.3 million in the preliminary draft report issued in 2012). The Company has responded that these projections are erroneous and provided arguments that demonstrate the amount due in connection with this matter is considerably less than the projection. CBP has stated that the final report will recommend collection of the duties due. At this time, it is not possible to determine precisely when a notice of claim will be received from CBP, but currently we anticipate a notice of claim could be received sometime in the third quarter of 2014. Likewise, it is not possible to predict with any certainty whether CBP will seek to assert a claim for penalties in addition to any unpaid duties, but such an assertion is a possibility.

3. Mexico’s Federal Tax Authority (“SAT”) audited the period from January 2006 to July 2011. There were two phases to the audit, the first for capital equipment and finished goods and the second for raw materials. The first phase was completed and no major discrepancies were noted by the SAT. On January 9, 2013, the Company received a notice for the second phase in which the SAT issued a tax assessment (taxes and penalties) of roughly 280.0 million pesos (approximately $22.0 million) based on the value of all of the Company’s imported raw materials during the audit period. The Company believes that the proposed penalty amount is unfounded and without merit. With the help of local counsel, the Company filed an appeal by the deadline of March 15, 2013. The Company argued that the amount due in connection with the matter, if any, is substantially less than that proposed by the SAT. In connection with the appeal, the SAT required the Company to post an appeal surety bond in the amount of roughly 321.0 million pesos (approximately $26.0 million), which amount reflects estimated additional penalties and interest if the Company is not successful on its appeal. This amount will be adjusted on an annual basis. The Company expects it to take between two and three years for resolution of this matter in the Mexican courts. It is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of this matter or reasonably estimate any potential loss.
