⁽¹⁾ Operating lease obligations have been reduced by approximately $2.3 million to reflect expected sub-lease income.  Certain obligations under leasing arrangements are collateralized by the underlying asset being leased.

⁽²⁾ Future minimum lease payments include $1.6 million of lease payment obligations for the prior leased Miami distribution center.  For the purposes of calculating the minimum lease payments, a reduction is reflected for the actual sub-lease income the Company expects to receive during the remaining lease term.  This sub-lease income was also considered, for the purposes of calculating the exit obligation, which was immaterial as of August 31, 2019.
